PROXY STATEMENT
ANNUAL GENERAL AND SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 7, 2020

INFORMATION CONCERNING VOTING AND SOLICITATION

General

The enclosed proxy is solicited on behalf of our board of directors (the “Board”) for use at the annual general and special meeting of stockholders (the “Meeting”) to be held on December 7, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) or at any continuation, postponement or adjournment thereof, for the purposes discussed in this proxy statement and in the accompanying Notice of Meeting and any business properly brought before the Meeting. Proxies are solicited to give all stockholders of record an opportunity to vote on matters properly presented at the Meeting. We intend to mail this proxy statement and accompanying proxy card on or about November 6, 2020 to all holders of record of shares of our common stock (the “Common Stock”), being all of the stockholders entitled to vote at the Meeting.

Who Can Vote

You are entitled to vote if you were a holder of record of shares of Common Stock as of the close of business on October 27, 2020 (the “Record Date”). Your shares of Common Stock can be voted at the Meeting only if you are represented by a valid proxy.

Shares Outstanding and Quorum

Holders of record of shares of Common Stock at the close of business on October 27, 2020, the Record Date, will be entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Meeting. At the Meeting, each of the shares of Common Stock represented at the Meeting will be entitled to one (1) vote on each matter properly brought before the Meeting. On the Record Date, there were ♦[NTD: CW to confirm with Computershare on October 28, 2020] shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.

In order to carry on the business of the Meeting, we must have a quorum. Under our bylaws, stockholders representing at least 10% of the shares entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, constitute a quorum at any meeting of stockholders.

Proxy Card and Revocation of Proxy

Registered stockholders are entitled to vote at the Meeting. The persons named as proxy holders (the “Designated Persons”) in the enclosed form of proxy are directors and/or officers of our company.

A stockholder has the right to appoint a person or corporation (who need not be a stockholder) to attend and act for or on behalf of that stockholder at the Meeting, other than the Designated Persons named in the enclosed form of proxy.

To exercise this right, the stockholder may do so by inserting the name of such other person and, if desired, an alternate to such person, in the blank space provided in the form of proxy.

In voting, please specify your choices by marking the appropriate spaces on the enclosed proxy card, signing and dating the proxy card and returning it in the accompanying envelope, or via the telephone or the Internet by following the instructions provided in the enclosed proxy card. To be represented at the meeting, proxies must be submitted to Computershare Trust Company of Canada, Proxy Department, 100 University Avenue, 8th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1, or by facsimile (North American toll-free facsimile: 1-866-249-7775, international facsimile: 1-416-263-9524), or, if by telephone voting, at 1-866-732-8683, or, if by Internet voting, at https://www.investorvote.com, no later than forty-eight (48) hours, excluding Saturday, Sundays and holidays, prior to the time of the Meeting or adjournment thereof.

If no directions are given and the signed proxy is returned, the proxy holders will vote the shares in favor of the nominees for directors and each of the proposals set out in this proxy statement and at their discretion on any other matters that may properly come before the Meeting. The Board knows of no other business that will be presented for consideration at the Meeting. In addition, since no stockholder proposals were received by us on a timely basis, no such matters may be brought at the Meeting.

Any stockholder giving a proxy has the power to revoke the proxy at any time before the proxy is voted. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked by an instrument in writing executed by the stockholder or by his attorney authorized in writing, or, if the stockholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized, and deposited at the offices of our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada, Proxy Department, 100 University Avenue, 8th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1, or by facsimile (toll free North American facsimile: 1-866-249-7775, international facsimile: 1-416-263-9524), or by voting again on a later date via the telephone at 1-866-732-8683 or the Internet at https://www.investorvote.com (only your latest telephone or Internet proxy submitted prior to the Meeting will be counted) at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, or with the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting. Attendance at the Meeting will not in and of itself constitute revocation of a proxy.

The persons named as proxy holders in the proxy card were designated by the Board. A stockholder has the right to appoint a person or corporation (who need not be a stockholder) to attend and act for and on behalf of that stockholder at the Meeting, other than the Designated Persons in the enclosed proxy card. The stockholder may exercise this right by inserting the name of such other person and, if desired, an alternate to such person in the blank space provided in the proxy card.

The shares of Common Stock represented by a stockholder’s proxy card will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions of the stockholder on any ballot that may be called for and, if the stockholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the shares will be voted accordingly.

Voting of Shares

Holders of shares of Common Stock of record on the Record Date, are entitled to one (1) vote for each share of Common Stock on all matters to be voted upon at the Meeting. Holders of shares of Common Stock may vote in person or by completing and mailing the enclosed proxy card. All shares entitled to vote and represented by properly executed proxies received before the polls are closed at the Meeting, and not revoked or superseded, will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with the instructions indicated on those proxies. YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT.

Counting of Votes

All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of election appointed for the Meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes and votes withheld or abstained. Shares of Common Stock represented by proxies that reflect votes withheld or abstained as to a particular proposal will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum.

Shares of Common Stock represented by proxies that reflect a broker “non-vote” will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum. A broker “non-vote” will be treated as unvoted for purposes of determining approval of a proposal and will not be counted as “for” or “against” that proposal. A broker “non-vote” occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary authority or does not have instructions from the beneficial owner.

Solicitation of Proxies

We will bear the entire cost of the solicitation of proxies, including preparation, assembly and mailing of this proxy statement, the proxy and any additional information furnished to stockholders. Copies of solicitation materials will be furnished to banks, brokerage houses, depositories, fiduciaries and custodians holding shares of Common Stock in their names that are beneficially owned by others to forward to these beneficial owners. We may reimburse persons representing beneficial owners for their costs of forwarding the solicitation material to the beneficial owners of shares of Common Stock. We are soliciting proxies and such solicitation of proxies by mail may be supplemented by telephone, facsimile, electronic mail or personal solicitation by our directors, officers or other regular employees. No additional compensation will be paid to directors, officers or other regular employees for such services.

Advice to Beneficial Stockholders

Only registered holders of shares of Common Stock or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Most stockholders are “non-registered” stockholders because the shares of Common Stock they own are not registered in their names but are instead registered in the name of the brokerage firm, bank or trust company through which they purchased the shares of Common Stock. More particularly, a person is not a registered stockholder in respect of the shares of Common Stock which are held on behalf of that person (the “Non-Registered Holder”) but which are registered either: (a) in the name of an intermediary (an “Intermediary”) that the Non-Registered Holder deals with in respect of the shares of Common Stock (Intermediaries include, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators or self-administered RRSP’s, RRIF’s, RESP’s and similar plans); or (b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as The CDS Clearing and Depositary Services Inc. (“CDS”)) of which the Intermediary is a participant. In accordance with the requirements as set out in National Instrument 54-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators and Regulation 14A promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), we will distribute copies of the Notice of Meeting, this proxy statement and the form of proxy (collectively, the “Meeting Materials”) to the clearing agencies and Intermediaries for onward distribution to Non-Registered Holders.

Intermediaries are required to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Holders unless a Non-Registered Holder has waived the right to receive them. Very often, Intermediaries will use service companies to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Holders. Generally, Non-Registered Holders who have not waived the right to receive Meeting Materials will either:

	(a)	be given a form of proxy which has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile, stamped signature), which is restricted as to the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Holder but which is otherwise not completed. Because the Intermediary has already signed the form of proxy, this form of proxy is not required to be signed by the Non-Registered Holder when submitting the proxy. In this case, the Non-Registered Holder who wishes to submit a proxy should otherwise properly complete the form of proxy and deposit it with our transfer agent as provided above; or

	(b)	more typically, be given a voting instruction form which is not signed by the Intermediary, and which, when properly completed and signed by the Non-Registered Holder and returned to the Intermediary or its service company, will constitute voting instructions (often called a “proxy authorization form”) which the Intermediary must follow. Typically, the proxy authorization form will consist of a one page pre-printed form. Sometimes, instead of a one page pre-printed form, the proxy authorization will consist of a regular printed proxy form accompanied by a page of instructions, which contains a removable label containing a bar-code and other information. In order for the form of proxy to validly constitute a proxy authorization form, the Non-Registered Holder must remove the label from the instructions and affix it to the form of proxy, properly complete and sign the form of proxy and return it to the Intermediary or its service company in accordance with the instructions of the Intermediary or its service company.

In either case, the purpose of this procedure is to permit a Non-Registered Holder to direct the voting of the shares of Common Stock which they beneficially own. Should a Non-Registered Holder who receives one of the above forms wish to vote at the Meeting in person, the Non-Registered Holder should strike out the names of the management proxyholders named in the form and insert the Non-Registered Holder’s name in the blank space provided. In either case, Non-Registered Holders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary, including those regarding when and where the proxy or proxy authorization form is to be delivered.

SUMMARY OF BUSINESS MATTERS TO BE VOTED ON

At the Meeting, stockholders will be asked to consider four (4) proposals as follows: (1) the election of the Board; (2) the appointment of Haynie & Company, Certified Public Accountants, as our independent registered public accounting firm, and the authorization for the Board to fix the remuneration of Haynie & Company; (3) the amendment to the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan; and (4) the approval of the amendment to our company’s articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 75,000,000 to 200,000,000. A summary of these proposals is as follows:

Proposal 1. Election of Directors.

The entire Board is elected annually by the stockholders at the Meeting. The Board has selected five nominees based upon their ability and experience. The nominees consist of James P. Geiskopf, Cameron Chell, Michael Blum, Edmund C. Moy and James Carter. All of the nominees are currently serving as directors of our company.

The Board recommends that you vote FOR the election of the nominees as directors of our company.

Proposal 2. Appointment of Independent Accountants.

The Audit Committee has nominated Haynie & Company, Certified Public Accountants, to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020. Haynie & Company provided audit and tax services for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 through December 31, 2019.

Representatives of Haynie & Company are not expected to be present at the Meeting. However, we will provide contact information for Haynie & Company to any stockholders who would like to contact the firm with questions.

The Board recommends that you vote FOR the approval of Haynie & Company as the independent registered public accounting firm for our company and for the authorization for the Board to fix the remuneration of Haynie & Company.

Proposal 3. Amendment to 2017 Equity Incentive Plan

Our company is seeking stockholder approval of an ordinary resolution of the disinterested stockholders of our company authorizing an increase in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to our company’s 2017 Equity Incentive Plan from 4,174,904 to the number equal to 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as at October 27, 2020, which our company anticipates to be 6,985,207, or such other number of common shares as may be permitted by the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”).

Proposal 4. Increase in Number of Authorized Shares of Common Stock

Our articles of incorporation currently authorize the issuance of 75,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share. As of October 27, 2020, there were ♦ shares of Common Stock outstanding.

On ♦, 2020, the Board approved the amendment to our articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 75,000,000 to 200,000,000, subject to the approval of a majority of the outstanding Common Stock.

The Board believes it is in the best interest of our company to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock in order to give us greater flexibility in considering and planning for future corporate purposes, including, without limitation, financings, strategic transactions as well as other general corporate transactions.

The Board recommends that you vote FOR the approval of the amendment of our articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 75,000,000 to 200,000,000.

The following table sets forth the names, positions and ages of our executive officers, directors and persons nominated to become directors.

Michael Blum was a co-founder of Firefly Systems Inc. (“Firefly”) and acted as the chief financial officer of Firefly from January 2014 to February 2017. Firefly was a start-up in the space launch industry. Firefly grew from nothing in January 2014 to a company with 185 employees in the summer of 2016 with NASA as its flagship customer. When a major European investor backed out of a $32 million funding commitment at the last minute due to the Brexit vote, Firefly’s major stockholder was unwilling to pick-up the pieces and Firefly failed to close its last round of funding by early 2017. As a result, on April 3, 2017, Firefly filed a bankruptcy petition under Chapter 7 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Texas.

Michael Blum was elected to the board of directors of XCOR Aerospace, Inc. (“XCOR”) in late April 2017. XCOR lost its only customer one or two weeks after his election and the board of directors of XCOR asked Mr. Blum to fill the role of acting chief executive officer and Mr. Blum took over as acting chief executive officer on June 27, 2017. Mr. Blum was unable to save XCOR and, on November 8, 2017, XCOR filed a bankruptcy petition under Chapter 7 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of California.

(the “Chapter 7”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada on March 16, 2017 (case number 17-11242). As a result of this filing, a Chapter 7 trustee was appointed by the bankruptcy court to assume control of ECIG. The assets of ECIG were liquidated and claims paid in accordance with the Chapter 7. As the Chapter 7 trustee assumed control over the assets and liabilities of ECIG, on March 16, 2017, Mr. Geiskopf and ECIG’s other directors resigned from their positions as directors.

Officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by our company, or written representations from certain reporting persons that no Form 5s were required for those persons, we believe that, during the year ended December 31, 2019 all filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were complied with.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

General

Corporate governance refers to the policies and structure of the board of directors of a company, whose members are elected by and are accountable to the stockholders of the company. Corporate governance encourages establishing a reasonable degree of independence of the board of directors from executive management and the adoption of policies to ensure the board of directors recognizes the principles of good management. Our Board is committed to sound corporate governance practices, as such practices are both in the interests of stockholders and help to contribute to effective and efficient decision making. Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink operated by the OTC Markets Group, which does not impose any director independence requirements. Under NASDAQ rule 5605(a)(2) and as defined by National Instrument 52-110, adopted by various Canadian securities commissions, a director is not independent if he or she is also an executive officer or employee of the corporation or was, at any time during the past three years, employed by the corporation.

Board of Directors

Our Board facilitates its independent supervision over management in several ways, including retaining independent consultants where it deems necessary, and by reviewing corporate developments with larger stockholders, analysts and potential industry partners.

The independent members of our Board are James P. Geiskopf, Edmund C. Moy, Alphonso Jackson and James Carter. Messrs. Geiskopf, Moy, Jackson and Carter are each “independent” in that each is independent and free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could or could reasonably be perceived to; materially interfere with the director’s ability to act with the best interests of our company. Mr. Jackson will not be standing for re-election at the Meeting. Michael Blum is not independent because Mr. Blum was our chief operating officer from December 4, 2018 to September 14, 2020 and our secretary and treasurer of from October 9, 2017 to September 16, 2020. Cameron Chell is not independent because Mr. Chell is a director, officer and an indirect shareholder of Business Instincts Group Inc. On October 18, 2017, we entered into a business services agreement with BIG, whereby we retained the services of Business Instincts Group Inc. to provide certain services, including creating, designing and project managing the launching of initial coin offerings for our clients.

Directorships

The following table describes which of our current directors are also directors of other reporting issuers (or the equivalent in another jurisdiction):

Name of Director	Names of Other Reporting Issuers	Name of Trading Market
James P. Geiskopf	Verb Technology Company, Inc.	NASDAQ
Cameron Chell	Pounce Technologies Inc.	TSX Venture Exchange (NEX)
	TruTrace Technologies Inc.	Canadian Securities Exchange
	Draganfly Inc.	Canadian Securities Exchange
	XTM Inc.	Canadian Securities Exchange
James M. Carter	Aloro Mining Corp.	TSX Venture Exchange
James M. Carter	TruTrace Technologies Inc.	Canadian Securities Exchange

Orientation and Continuing Education

Our Board briefs all new directors with respect to the policies of our Board and other relevant corporate and business information. Our Board does not provide any continuing education.

Ethical Business Conduct

Our Board has found that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by our company’s governing corporate legislation and the common law, and the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on an individual director’s participation in decisions of our Board in which the director has an interest, have been sufficient to ensure that our Board operates independently of management and in the best interests of our company.

Nomination of Directors

Our Board is responsible for identifying individuals qualified to become new board members and recommending to our Board new director nominees. New nominees must have a track record in general business management, special expertise in an area of strategic interest to our company, the ability to devote the required time, show support for our company’s mission and strategic objectives, and a willingness to serve.

Our Board does not have a nominating committee. The full board will be involved in nomination of new candidates for board positions. Board members will be asked for recommendations of people that they know of or have heard of that would contribute to the success of our company if added to our Board.

Compensation

Our Board has not created or appointed a compensation committee given our company’s current size and stage of development. All tasks related to developing and monitoring our company’s approach to the compensation of our president and directors are performed by the members of our Board. The compensation of our president and directors is reviewed, recommended and approved by our Board without reference to any specific formula or criteria.

Other Board Committees

Our Board has no committees other than our audit committee.

Assessments

Our Board has no specific procedures for regularly assessing the effectiveness and contribution of our Board or individual directors. As our Board is relatively small, it is expected that a significant lack of performance on the part of an individual director would become readily apparent, and could be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. With respect to our Board as a whole, our Board monitors its performance on an ongoing basis, and as part of that process considers the overall performance of our company and input from our stockholders. As Lead Director, James P. Geiskopf overseas the Board.

Advisory Board

We have an advisory board, which provides advice to our company from time to time on issues as requested by our company. Our advisory board’s role includes: (a) providing strategic advice on the direction and strategy of our company, (b) advising and assisting with business development by and for our company, and (c) facilitating introductions between our company and third parties who may be in a position to assist in furthering the goals of our company. The current members of our advisory board are: Russell Stidolph, Konstantin Richter, Steve Beauregard, Greg Burnett and Rob Shewchuk.

	○	the grant to insiders (as a group), within a 12 month period, of stock options where an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock subject to such stock options exceeds 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (on a non-diluted basis), calculated on the date an award is granted to any insider;
	○	the grant to insiders (as a group), within a 12 month period, of non-stock option awards where an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock subject to such non-stock option awards exceeds 2% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (on a non-diluted basis), calculated on the date a non-stock option award is granted to any insider;

	○	the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock subject to awards granted to any one participant who is a Consultant (as defined by the policies of the Exchange) within a 12 month period exceeding 2% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (on a non-diluted basis), calculated on the date an award is granted to the participant; or

if the shares of Common Stock are listed on the Exchange, we must obtain disinterested shareholder approval for any amendment to stock options held by insiders that would have the effect of decreasing the exercise price of the stock options.

We are seeking stockholder approval for certain amendments to the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan, subject to the approval of the Exchange. We propose to increase the number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the granting and exercise of options under the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan from 4,174,904 to the number equal to 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on October ♦, 2020, which our company anticipates to be 6,985,207, or such other number of shares of Common Stock as may be permitted by the Exchange.

The Exchange requires stockholder approval of any stock option plan that, together with all of a company’s other previously established stock option plans or grants, could result at any time in the number of listed shares reserved for issuance under stock options exceeding 10% of the issued shares. The Exchange also requires that a company must obtain disinterested shareholder approval of stock options if, among other things, a stock option plan, together with all of a company’s previously established or proposed stock option grants, could result at any time in:

	(a)	the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under stock options granted to insiders exceeding 10% of the issued shares of Common Stock;

	(b)	the grant to insiders, within a 12 month period, of a number of options exceeding 10% of the issued shares of Common Stock; or

	(c)	the issuance to any one optionee, within a 12 month period, of a number of shares exceeding 5% of the issued shares of Common Stock.

In such cases, a stock option plan must be approved by a majority of the votes cast by all stockholders at a general meeting, excluding votes attaching to shares beneficially owned by (i) insiders to whom options may be issued under the stock option plan; and (ii) associates of insiders to whom options may be issued under the stock option plan. The people who are allowed to vote are referred to as “Disinterested Stockholders”. The term “insider” is defined in the Securities Act (British Columbia) and includes, among other persons, directors and senior officers of a company and its subsidiaries and shareholders owning more than 10% of the voting securities of a company.

On ♦, 2020, the Board approved an increase in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan by 2,810,303, from 4,174,905 shares to 6,985,207 shares, subject to and effective upon receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals. As of October 27, 2020, there were ♦ stock options outstanding, representing ♦% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on that date. ♦ additional shares of Common Stock, representing ♦% of the currently issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, are available for grant under the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan.

Vote Required and Board Recommendation

As the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, together with all of our company’s previously established or proposed stock option grants, could result in the circumstances described in paragraphs (a) and (b) above, we must obtain the approval of its Disinterested Stockholders for the amendment to the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan. Accordingly, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares, other than votes attaching to the ♦ shares of Common Stock, representing approximately ♦% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, beneficially owned by directors, officers and nominees of our company entitled to receive a benefit under the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan, present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting will be required to approve the increase in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable under the 2017 Equity Incentive Plan by 2,810,303 shares.

The following resolution will be submitted for a shareholder approval at the Meeting:

“RESOLVED that the increase in the number of shares of common stock issuable under CurrencyWork Inc.’s 2017 Equity Incentive Plan by 2,810,303 shares is hereby approved, ratified and confirmed.”

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR THE INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UNDER THE 2017 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN BY 2,810,303 SHARES.

PROPOSAL 4

INCREASE IN NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK

Our articles of incorporation currently authorizes the issuance of 75,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share.

As of the record date, we have ♦ shares of Common Stock outstanding, leaving ♦ shares of Common Stock available for future issuance. We may require additional shares of Common Stock for the purposes discussed below and accordingly, we wish to increase the number of authorized shares of our Common Stock to 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value US$0.001.

On ♦, 2020, the Board approved the proposed amendment to the articles of incorporation, subject to the approval of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

The flexibility given to the Board to issue additional shares of Common Stock could also have an anti-takeover effect and enhance our ability to negotiate on behalf of our stockholders in a takeover situation. The authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock could be used by the Board to discourage, delay or make more difficult a change in the control of our company. For example, such shares could be privately placed with purchasers who might align themselves with the Board in opposing a hostile takeover bid. The issuance of additional shares could serve to dilute the stock ownership of persons seeking to obtain control and thereby increase the cost of acquiring a given percentage of the outstanding stock. Stockholders should therefore be aware that approval of this proposal could facilitate future efforts by the Board to deter or prevent changes in control of our company, including transactions in which our stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then current market prices. The increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, however, is not being proposed in response to any effort of which we are aware to accumulate shares of Common Stock or to obtain control of our company.

We have no plans, commitments, arrangements, understandings, or agreements to issue any shares that will be made available pursuant to the proposed increase in authorized stock.

Proportionate voting rights and other rights of the holders of shares of Common Stock would not be affected by the increase in the authorized number of shares of Common Stock. The additional authorized shares of Common Stock will have rights identical to our currently authorized and outstanding shares of Common Stock. Accordingly, effecting the proposal to increase the number of shares of Common Stock will not affect any rights of shareholders and par value will remain unchanged at $0.001 per share. The percentage of outstanding shares owned by each stockholder prior to the increase in the authorized number of shares of Common Stock will remain the same, For example, generally, a holder of two percent of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the effective time of the increase in the authorized number of shares of Common Stock would continue to hold two percent of the voting power of the outstanding shares of Common Stock after the increase in the authorized number of shares of Common Stock.

Dissent Rights

Under our bylaws, our stockholders are entitled, after complying with certain requirements of our bylaws, to dissent from approval of the proposal to amend our articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of the Common Stock and to be paid the “fair value” of their shares of the Common Stock, determined as of the close of business on the date before the proposal is approved. We will require strict compliance with the procedures set out in our bylaws.

The following is intended as a brief summary of the material provisions of procedures required to be followed by a stockholder in order to dissent from the proposal to amend our articles of incorporation:

1.	A dissenting stockholder must send to our company, at or before the annual and special meeting, a written objection to the proposal. Failing to vote against the proposal will not constitute a waiver of the dissent rights, but voting against or failing to vote for the proposal by itself does not constitute filing of the written objection. In addition, a dissenting stockholder must not vote in favor of the proposal. A vote in favor of the proposal will constitute a waiver of the dissent rights in respects of the shares of our common stock so voted and will nullify any previously filed written objection. Submission of a blank proxy will constitute a vote in favor of the proposal since all signed proxies which contain no direction on voting are automatically voted in favor of the proposals.

2.	We must, within 10 days after our stockholders approve the proposal, send to each stockholder who has filed the written objection a notice that the proposal has been approved. Such notice is not required to be sent to any stockholder who voted for the proposal or who has withdrawn their objection.

3.	A dissenting stockholder must, within 20 days after receiving our notice of approval of the proposal or, if the dissenting stockholder does not receive such notice, within 20 days after learning that the proposal has been approved, send to our company a written notice containing:

	(a)	the stockholder’s name and address;

	(b)	the number and class of shares in respect of which the stockholder dissents; and

	(c)	a demand for payment of the fair value of such shares.

		A dissenting stockholder may only claim the dissent rights with respect to all the shares of our common stock held on behalf of any beneficial owner and registered in the name of the dissenting stockholder.

4.	A dissenting stockholder must, within 30 days after sending a notice demanding payment, send the share certificate(s) representing the shares in respect of which the stockholder dissents to our company or our transfer agent.

5.	We must, not later than 7 days after the later of (i) the day on which the amendment of our articles of incorporation is effective or (ii) the day we receive the notice demanding payment, send to each dissenting stockholder who has sent such notice:

	(a)	a written offer to pay for their shares in an amount considered by our board of directors to be fair value, accompanied by a statement showing how the fair value was determined; or

	(b)	a notification that we are unable lawfully to pay dissenting stockholders for their shares (as described below).

6.	If we are able lawfully to pay dissenting stockholders for their shares, we must pay for the shares of a dissenting stockholder within 10 days after our offer has been accepted, but any such offer lapses if we do not receive an acceptance within 30 days after the offer has been made.

7.	If we failed to make an offer described above, or if a dissenting stockholder fails to accept our offer, we may, within 50 days after the amendment of our articles of incorporation is effective or within such further period as a court may allow, apply to a court to fix a fair value for the shares of any dissenting stockholder. If we fail to apply to a court in this case, a dissenting stockholder may apply to a court for the same purpose within a further period of 20 days or within such further period as a court may allow.

We must not make a payment to a dissenting stockholder if such payment is prohibited by any applicable law or if there are reasonable grounds for believing that:

1.	we are or would after the payment be unable to pay our liabilities as they become due; or

2.	the realizable value of our assets would thereby be less than the aggregate of our liabilities.

On sending a notice demanding payment, a dissenting stockholder ceases to have any rights as a stockholder other than the right to be paid the fair value of their shares except where:

1.	the dissenting stockholder withdraws that notice before we make an offer to pay for their shares;

2.	we fail to make an offer to pay for their shares and the stockholder withdraws the notice; or

3.	our directors revoke or do not proceed with the amendment of our articles of incorporation, in which case the stockholder’s rights are reinstated as of the date the notice is sent.

If you hold your shares of our common stock in a brokerage account or in other nominee form and you wish to exercise dissent rights, you should consult with your broker or the other nominee to determine the appropriate procedures for the making of a demand for payment by the broker or other nominee.

Vote Required and Board Recommendation

The proposal for approval of amendment of our articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of the Common Stock requires the affirmative vote from the stockholders holding shares of Common Stock entitling them to exercise at least a majority of the voting power. This means that the proposal must receive “For” votes from the holders of at least ♦ shares of the Common Stock.

Stockholders will be asked to approve the following resolution:

“BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

1.	The amendment to the articles of incorporation of CurrencyWorks Inc. (the “Articles of Incorporation”) to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock of CurrencyWorks Inc. from 75,000,000 to 200,000,000 (the “Amendment”) be and is hereby authorized and approved;

2.	The Articles of Incorporation be amended to effect the Amendment by changing the first paragraph of the fourth article of the Articles of Incorporation so that, as amended, the first paragraph of said article shall be and read substantially as follows:

	“The total number of shares of all classes of stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock having a par value of $0.001 per share.”

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES OF COMMON STOCK FROM 75,000,000 TO 200,000,000.

Interest of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon

No director, executive officer, or nominee for election as a director of our company and no associate of any of the foregoing persons has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holding or otherwise, in any matter to be acted upon at the annual meeting other than the election of directors.

“Householding” of Proxy Materials

The SEC permits companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements or annual reports with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single copy of the proxy statement or annual report, as applicable, addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding”, potentially provides extra conveniences for stockholders and cost savings for companies.

Although we do not intend to household for our stockholders of record, some brokers household our proxy materials and annual reports, delivering a single copy of the proxy statement or annual report to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that it will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate copy of the proxy statement or annual report, or if you are receiving multiple copies of either document and wish to receive only one, please notify your broker. Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the proxy statement or annual report at their address from their brokers and would like to request “householding” of their communications should contact their brokers.

Stockholder Proposals

Stockholder proposals to be considered for inclusion in the proxy statement and form of proxy relating to our next annual meeting of stockholders must be received no later than June 30, 2021. If we change the date of our next annual meeting of stockholders by more than 30 days from the date of this year’s annual meeting of stockholders, then the deadline is a reasonable time before we begin to print and send our proxy materials. All such proposals must comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 of Regulation 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which sets forth specific requirements and limitations applicable to nominations and proposals at annual meetings of stockholders.

All stockholder proposals, notices and requests should be made in writing and sent via registered, certified or express mail to CurrencyWorks Inc., 561 Indiana Court, Los Angeles, CA 90291, Attention: Secretary.

Where You Can Find More Information

We file annual and other reports, proxy statements and other information with the SEC. The documents filed with the SEC are available to the public from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Other Matters

Our board of directors does not intend to bring any other business before the annual meeting, and so far as is known to our board of directors, no matters are to be brought before the annual meeting except as specified in the notice of the annual meeting. If any other matters are properly brought before the annual meeting, it is the intention of the person named on the proxy to vote the shares represented by the proxy on such matters in accordance with his judgment.
