(“Computershare”) at 100 University Avenue, 8^th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1, so as to arrive not later than 10:00 a.m., Pacific time, on June 21, 2019 or, if the Meeting is adjourned, 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) prior to the commencement of any reconvened meeting.

Voting of Proxies

In connection with any ballot that may be called for, the management representatives designated in the enclosed form of proxy will vote or withhold from voting the Common Shares in accordance with the instructions of the Shareholder as indicated on the proxy and, if the Shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the Common Shares will be voted accordingly.In the absence of any direction, your Common Shares will be voted by the management representatives FOR the appointment of the auditor and FOR the election of each director of the Company as indicated under those headings in this Information Circular.

The management representatives designated in the enclosed form of proxy have discretionary authority with respect to amendments to or variations of matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and with respect to other matters that may properly come before the Meeting. At the date of this Information Circular, the management of the Company knew of no such amendments, variations or other matters.

Non-Registered Owners

Shareholders who do not hold their Common Shares in their own name are referred to asnon-registered owners.

(“CDS”)) or an intermediary (such as a bank, trust company, securities dealer or broker, or trustee or administrator of a self-administered Registered Retirement Savings Plan, Registered Retirement Income Fund, Registered Education Savings Plan or similar plan), you are anon-registered owner.

Currently, most issued and outstanding Common Shares are in a book-based system administered by CDS. Consequently, most of the Common Shares are currently registered under the name of “CDS & Co.” (the registration name for CDS). CDS also acts as nominee for brokerage firms through which beneficial holders hold their Common Shares. Common Shares held by CDS can only be voted upon the instructions of the beneficial holder of the Common Shares.

Only registered owners of Common Shares, or the persons they appoint as their proxies, are permitted to attend and vote at the Meeting. If you are anon-registered owner, you are entitled to direct how the Common Shares beneficially owned by you are to be voted or you may obtain a form of legal proxy that will entitle you to attend and vote at the Meeting.

Typically, intermediaries will use a service company (such as Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc.) to forward the Notice of Meeting and this Information Circular tonon-registered shareholders.

If you are anon-registered shareholder and have not waived your right to receive the Meeting Materials, you will receive either a request for voting instructions or a form of proxy with your Meeting Materials.

SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PLAN

Background

The Company adopted a compensation plan (the “Compensation Plan”), effective January 1, 2010, on completion of its conversion into a corporation, in order to attract and retain directors, officers, employees and service providers to the Company and to motivate them to advance the interests of the Company by affording them with the opportunity to acquire an equity interest in the Company. The Compensation Plan has been drafted to comply with the policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) as they exist at the date of this Information Circular. The Compensation Plan was most recently approved by the Shareholders on June 14, 2018. The following information is intended as a summary of the Compensation Plan.

“Rolling” Maximum Reserve

The TSX permits the adoption of a “rolling” type of share-based compensation plan whereby the number of shares available for issuance under the plan will not be greater than a rolling maximum percentage of the outstanding shares. The Compensation Plan provides that the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance upon the exercise or redemption of awards granted under the Compensation Plan is a rolling maximum of ten percent (10%) of the outstanding Common Shares at any point in time. Currently, the Company has 49,138,003 Common Shares outstanding. Therefore, up to 4,913,800 Common Shares may be reserved for issuance under the Compensation Plan. The purpose of adopting a “rolling” type of share- based compensation plan is to ensure that a sufficient number of Common Shares remain issuable under the Compensation Plan to meet the overall objective of the Compensation Plan. Any exercise, redemption, expiry or lapse of awards will make new grants available under the Compensation Plan effectively resulting in a“re-loading” of the number of awards available to be granted. The Compensation Plan must be approved by shareholders every three years.

- 10 -

Types of Awards

The Compensation Plan is an omnibus share-based compensation plan, pursuant to which the Company is authorized to award Options, stock appreciation rights, deferred share units, restricted share units (performance based), restricted stock and other share-based awards, which may be settled in shares issued from the treasury or in cash. To date, only Options and Performance based restricted share units have been awarded under the Compensation Plan. As of December 31, 2018, Options to purchase 2,164,999 Common Shares were outstanding, and 1,056,666 Performance-based restricted share units were outstanding, which together represented approximately 6.8% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares as at such date. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had 1,717,135 Common Shares available for future grants under the Compensation Plan, which represented approximately 3.6% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares as at such date.

An Option is a right to purchase a Common Share for a fixed exercise price. A stock appreciation right is a right to either a cash payment or the issuance of Common Shares with a market price equal in value to the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of a Common Share. A stock appreciation right may be granted in relation to an option or on a stand-alone basis. A deferred share unit is a right to a Common Share or a cash payment equal to the fair market value of a Common Share redeemable only after the participant has ceased to hold all positions with the Company and its affiliates. A restricted share unit is a right to a Common Share or a cash payment equal to the fair market value of a Common Share redeemable after the passage of time, the achievement of performance targets or both. A restricted stock is a Common Share issued to a participant subject to conditions which may include the passage of time, the achievement of performance targets or both. Any voting rights and entitlements to dividends in respect of restricted stock will be determined by the Board on the date of grant and will be set out in the applicable award agreement.

When dividends are paid on the Common Shares, an additional number of restricted share units and deferred share units, as the case may be, will be credited to the eligible holder thereof. The additional units credited will be determined as the amount of the dividend multiplied by the number of restricted share units or deferred share units, as the case may be, credited to the eligible holder thereof at the dividend payment date, and divided by the market price of a Common Share on the dividend payment date.

Other Terms

The Compensation Plan authorizes the Board (or a committee of the Board if so authorized by the Board) to grant awards to “Eligible Persons”. Eligible Persons are directors, officers, employees, consultants, management, company employees and any other service providers of the Company or its affiliates.

The aggregate number of Common Shares issued to insiders of the Company within any one (1) year period under the Compensation Plan, together with any other security based compensation arrangement, cannot exceed 10% of the outstanding Common Shares. In addition, the aggregate number of Common Shares issuable to insiders of the Company at any time under the Compensation Plan, together with any other security based compensation arrangement, cannot exceed ten percent (10%) of the outstanding Common Shares. There are otherwise no limits on the maximum number of awards that may be issued to any single Eligible Person.

The date of grant, the number of Common Shares, the term, the vesting period and any other terms and conditions of awards granted pursuant to the Compensation Plan are determined by the Board, subject to the express provisions of the Compensation Plan.

The exercise price of an Option and a stock appreciation right will be the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX for the trading day immediately preceding the date of the grant. There is no exercise price for other awards. The purchase price for restricted stock will generally be nil, although past service may be treated as consideration for the grant of restricted stock.

Unless otherwise specified by the Board at the time an Option is granted under the Compensation Plan, (i) the term of the Option will be ten (10) years from the date of the grant (which is the maximum allowable term under the Compensation Plan), unless the expiry of the term falls during a blackout (or within ten (10) days following the end of a blackout) from trading in the securities of the Company imposed on certain persons including the optionee pursuant to any policies of the Company; and where such a blackout applies, the expiry of the term of the Option shall automatically be extended to ten (10) business days following the end of the blackout; and (ii) the Option will vest as toone-third (¹⁄₃) on each of the first three anniversaries of the date of grant.

Subject to the terms of the award agreement and the discretion of the Company to accelerate the vesting of an award, or extend the term of an award (but not to later that the original expiry date of the awards), awards will terminate immediately upon the holder ceasing to be an Eligible Person, provided however, in the event of: (i) death, the vested award continues to be exercisable or redeemable for a period up to six (6) months from the date of death, or (ii) termination without cause or resignation, the vested award continues to be exercisable or redeemable for a period up to ninety (90) days from the date of termination. No award is exercisable following expiry of the term.

For stock appreciation rights, the market appreciation is the fair market value of a Common Share, based on the closing price on the date prior to the exercise date, minus the exercise price. Stock appreciation rights can be granted in relation to an Option either at the date of grant or at a later date.

For stock appreciation rights which are granted in relation to an Option, the vesting, term and other terms and conditions will be the same as for the related Option and the exercise of the stock appreciation right will result in a cancellation of the related Option and vice versa.

- 12 -

For stock appreciation rights which are not granted in relation to an Option and for all other awards, the vesting, redemption and expiry terms will be set out in the award agreement and the terms and conditions of the award will be as set out in the award agreement, or as otherwise set out in the Compensation Plan.

Performance-based restricted share units vest as certain performance related events are achieved. Once the Participant is vested, the Participant may elect to receive the vested units in the form of Common Shares. If the performance related event does not occur or does not occur in the time provided in the grant, the Performance-based restricted share units expire and will be cancelled.    

In the event an offer is made for the Common Shares which would result in the offeror exercising control of the Company within the meaning of applicable securities laws, the Board may, in its discretion, provide that any award under the Compensation Plan then outstanding which are not otherwise exercisable may be exercised, in whole or in part, so as to allow the holder to tender the Common Shares received upon such an exercise.

Awards arenon-assignable. No financial assistance is provided to any Eligible Person to facilitate the purchase of Common Shares under the Compensation Plan.

The Compensation Plan contains a formal amendment procedure. The Board may amend certain terms of the Compensation Plan without requiring the approval of the Company shareholders, subject to those provisions of applicable law and regulatory requirements (including the rules, regulations and policies of the TSX), if any, that require the approval of Shareholders. Amendments not requiring shareholder approval include, without limitation: altering, extending or accelerating Option vesting terms and conditions; amending the termination provisions of an Option; accelerating the expiry date of an Option; determining adjustments pursuant to the provisions of the Compensation Plan concerning corporate changes; amending the definitions contained in the Compensation Plan; amending or modifying the mechanics of exercising or redeeming awards; amending provisions relating to the administration of the Compensation Plan; making “housekeeping” amendments, such as those necessary to cure errors or ambiguities contained in the Compensation Plan; effecting amendments necessary to comply with the provisions of applicable laws; and suspending or terminating the Compensation Plan.

The Compensation Plan specifically provides that the following amendments require shareholder approval: increasing the number of Common Shares issuable under the Compensation Plan, except by operation of the “rolling” maximum reserve; amending the Compensation Plan which amendment could result in the aggregate number of Common Shares issued to insiders within any one year period or issuable to insiders at any time under the Compensation Plan, together with any other security based compensation arrangement, exceeding 10% of the outstanding Common Shares; extending the term of any award beyond the expiry of the original term of the award; reducing the exercise price of an Option or cancelling and replacing Options with Options having a lower exercise price; amending the class of Eligible Persons which would have the potential of broadening or increasing participation in the Compensation Plan by insiders; amending the formal amendment procedures; and making any amendments required to be approved by the Company’s shareholders under applicable law.

COMPENSATION OF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”) describes the major elements of the Company’s compensation program for the Named Executive Officers (defined below, in the Summary Compensation Table). This CD&A also discusses the objectives, philosophy and decisions underlying the compensation of the Named Executive Officers. This CD&A should be read together with the executive compensation tables and related footnotes found later in this Information Circular.

The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for decisions respecting compensation of the Company’s senior executives. The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee is composed entirely of independent directors and reviews and approves executive compensation programs and specific compensation arrangements for the executive officers of the Company. The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee reports to the Board, and all compensation decisions with respect to the Chief Executive Officer are reviewed and approved by the entire Board, without participation by the Chief Executive Officer or the President.

The principal elements of the Company’s executive compensation program for 2016, 2017 and 2018 were:

• Base salary;

• Annual, performance-based cash incentives (“Bonus”); and

• Long-term equity incentives, including Options and Performance-based restricted share units.

The Board of Directors fully understands the need to continuously and rigorously manage risk. Risk assessment and analysis is an integral part of Board and committee meetings and decisions, including compensation.

Programs and Objectives and Reward Philosophy

The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee is guided by the following key objectives and reward philosophies in the design and implementation of the Company’s executive compensation program:

• Competitive Pay.Competitive compensation programs are required to attract and retain a high-performing executive team.

• Pay for performance.The Company’s compensation program is designed to motivate its executive officers to drive the Company’s business and financial results and to reward near-term performance. The “at risk” portion of total compensation (i.e., the incentive programs under which the amount of compensation realized by the executive is not guaranteed, and increases with higher levels of performance) should be a significant component of an executive’s compensation.

• Alignment with shareholders.The interests of the Company’s executives must be aligned with the interests of the Company’s shareholders. The Company’s compensation program should motivate and reward its executives to drive performance which leads to the enhancement of long-term shareholder value.

- 14 -

Key Considerations

In applying these program objectives and reward philosophies, the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee takes into account the key considerations discussed below:

Competitive Market Assessment.The Company periodically conducts a competitive market assessment for each of the primary elements of the Company’s executive compensation program. In setting executive compensation levels, the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee reviews market data from the following sources:

• Peer Group Information.The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee considers information from the management information circular of “peer group” public companies. The peer group is composed primarily of food and related companies of similar size in terms of number of employees or revenue in Canada and the United States. The peer group was selected by the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee in 2014 based on input from Towers Watson, an independent consulting firm retained by the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee and from management. Compensation at the peer group companies is considered by the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee, but compensation is not benchmarked to any particular level. The following companies were included in the Company’s peer group:

Alico Inc. Boulder Foods Corp. Calavo Growers, Inc.	Annie’s Inc. Bridgford Foods Corp. Coffee Holding Company
Diamond Foods, Inc.	Farmer Brothers Co.
Golden Enterprises Inc.	Inventure Foods, Inc.
John B Sanfilippo & Son	Legumex Walker Inc.
Lifeway Foods Inc.	Limoneira Foods Inc.
Omega Protein	Rogers Sugar Inc.
SunOpta, Inc.	Ten Peaks Coffee

• The Company’s Financial and Strategic Objectives. Each year, the Company’s management team develops an annual operating plan or budget for review and approval by the Board. The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee uses the financial plan in the development of compensation plans and performance goals for the Company’s Named Executive Officers for the next year.

Additional Information and Considerations

The Role of the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee and Its Use of Advisors. A summary of the role of the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee is found in the section entitled “Composition of the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee” in this Information Circular. For more information on the role and responsibilities of the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee, we encourage you to review the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee charter, which is available on the Company’s website atwww.villagefarms.com.

The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee charter permits the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee to engage independent outside advisors to assist it in the fulfillment of its responsibilities. The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee may engage an independent executive compensation consultant for information, advice and counsel. The consultant may assist the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee by providing an independent review of:

• The Company’s executive compensation policies, practices and designs;

• The mix of compensation established for the Company’s Named Executive Officers as compared to external benchmarks;

• Market trends and competitive practices in executive compensation; and

• The specific compensation package for Mr. DeGiglio and other Named Executive Officers.

Executive Compensation Related Fees

The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee did not engage a compensation and benefit consultant in 2016, 2017 or 2018.

The Role of Executive Management in the Process of Determining Executive Compensation

Mr. Ruffini, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for administering the Company’s executive compensation programs and provides information and analysis on various aspects of the Company’s executive compensation plans, including financial analysis relevant to the process of establishing performance targets for the Company’s annual cash incentive plan and the cost of long-term equity incentive plans. Mr. DeGiglio makes recommendations to the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee regarding executive compensation decisions for the other Named Executive Officers.

Hedging

The Company does not currently have any policies in place that would prevent Named Executive Officers or directors from purchasing financial instruments that might be designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held by Named Executive Officers or directors.

Elements of Compensation

The compensation program is comprised of salary, benefits and short term and long term compensation incentives based on the achievement of corporate and individual objectives. The key components of the short term compensation program are salary and the short term annual bonus incentive program. The long term compensation program is comprised of Options and Performance-based restricted share units.

Base Salary and Benefits

Base salaries for executives are based on positions with equivalent responsibilities in the peer company group. However, the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee took into account the substantial holdings of Common Shares of Mr. DeGiglio at the time his 2018 base salary was determined. The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee reviews annually and approves any changes in base salary for the Chief Executive Officer and considers and, if thought fit, approves changes in base salaries recommended by the Chief Executive Officer for the other Named Executive Officers.

The Company provides a comprehensive benefit program to senior management. The program provides all employees (including senior management) with medical and dental benefits and life insurance coverage. The Company is responsible for all costs associated with the benefit program; however, senior management is responsible for theco-payments under the Company benefits plan.

Short Term Incentive Plan Bonus

The Company uses annual cash bonus plans to motivate and reward individual executives for the direct contribution which they make to the Company. Overall, senior management is responsible for achieving the annual business plan.

- 16 -

The executive is required to be employed through December 31 of the respective calendar year in order to earn a bonus. Each Named Executive Officer can earn up to 80% of their base salary depending on their position, subject to reduction at the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee’s discretion.

In determining the bonus plan for 2018, the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee took into account the industry in which the Company operates, as well as the performance of the Company and its subsidiaries over the past three years. The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee also took into account the contributions of the individual executives and board members towards the implementation of special projects, such as the formation, implementation and execution of the Company’s cannabis initiative. The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee determined the amount of the incentive award for the Chief Executive Officer and determined the amount of the incentive award for the other Named Executive Officers based on the recommendations made by the Chief Executive Officer. Due to missing the Company’s financial produce performance targets during 2018, no cash bonuses were paid for the calendar year 2018.

In administering the annual incentive bonus plan, the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee may, in its judgment, vary incentive awards payable to executives to award exceptional performance or for other reasons determined by that committee.

Performance-Based Restricted Share Units

In determining the 2018 incentive plans for Named Executive Officers and other key employees of the Company, the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee issued Performance-based restricted share units to individuals who were involved in designing, creating, implementing and executing the Company’s new cannabis and hemp strategies. The Company’s 2017 cannabis strategy involved identifying and partnering with an existing public Licensed Producer who was willing to enter into a joint venture with the Company pursuant to the terms put forth by the Company, which involved forming an new entity, contributing one of the Company’s existing greenhouse facilities, converting it to grow cannabis, obtaining the necessary governmental licenses to cultivate and sell cannabis in Canada and growing a large scale high-quality low cost cannabis crop. The Company’s existing produce business was not generating sufficient cash to create a cash bonus incentive plan. Accordingly, Performance-based restricted share units were granted in 2017. Performance-based restricted share units were also granted in 2018 to Named Executive Officers and other key employees who worked directly on the Company’s cannabis and hemp strategies.

Stock Options

In determining the 2018 stock option awards for Named Executive Officers and other key employees of the Company, the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee issued Stock Options to a key employee not directly involved in designing and implementing the Company’s cannabis or hemp strategies but essential to the cultivation aspects of the Company.

Retirement Savings

The Company sponsors a retirement savings plan that is qualified under section 401(k) of the United States Internal Revenue Code and provides that participating employees are eligible to make contributions of 1% to 15% of their total salaries, subject to prescribed limits. The Company matches up to 25% of the first 6% of employee contributions.

- 17 -

The Company also sponsors a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for its named executive officers and executives under section 409A of the United States Internal Revenue Code and provides that participating employees are eligible to defer up to 80% of their salaries and annual cash bonuses on an annual basis. The Company may match up to 25% of the first 4% of employee salary deferrals. Since the summer of 2012 due to the under performance of the Company, the Company suspended the Company match on the nonqualified deferred compensation plan.

Performance Graph

The following graph shows the total cumulative return on a $100 investment made on December 31, 2013 in Common Shares, with the cumulative total return of the S&P/TSX Composite Total Return Index, for the period commencing on December 31, 2013 and ending on December 31, 2018, assuming reinvestment of all dividends, for which there were none.

As a reflection of the Company’s 2018 produce performance, no cash bonus was declared for the Executives for the 2018 calendar year. The Company believes that its EBITDA performance and its historicalpre-2018 share performance were closely aligned, as reflected in the Company’s share performance and bonus payments over the five-year period (2013-2017). In June 2017, subsequent to the announcement of the conversion of a portion of the Company’s Canadian assets to a cannabis growing facility, the Company’s share performance was much higher than it has been historically and no longer reflects the Company’s produce EBITDA performance. Rather it is more closely associated with the anticipation by the equity markets of higher future year EBITDA performance related to a higher margin product in the form of cannabis. Recognizing that the traditional cash bonus plan was not the optimal form of incentive compensation for the new crop strategy, the Company awarded Performance-based restricted share units and Options to certain Named Executive Officers who are working on the cannabis venture. As a result of granting the Performance-based restricted share units, in 2017 and 2018, some of the Named Executive Officers received higher compensation in 2017 and 2018 than in prior years. A similar trend is also reflected in the Company’s significantly improved 2017-2018 stock performance.

(1) The amounts listed in this column represent the grant date fair value of the Performance-based restricted share units granted to Named Executive Officers in June 2017 and June 2018, some of which have vested based on performance events involving the Company’s cannabis joint venture and have been settled in Common Shares and some of which are still unvested and will only vest if certain performance events are achieved. The grant date fair value is calculated based on the number of Performance-based restricted share units granted multiplied by the price of the Common Shares on the date of grant, converted into United States dollars based on the Bank of Canada closing exchange rate on the grant date.

(2) The amounts listed in this column represent the grant date fair value of the Options granted to Named Executive Officers as calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions (all converted to USD based on the Bank of Canada closing exchange rate on the grant date) for 2018 (which are the same method and assumptions used to calculate the accounting fair value) – expected volatility – 55.5%, risk free rate – 2.70%, expected life – 6.5 years – resulting in a fair value of $3.25/Option for Mr. de Jong. For 2017 – expected volatility – 52.7%, risk free rate – 2.05%, expected life – 6.5 years – resulting in a fair value of $3.19/Option for Messrs. Selina and Bos. For 2016—expected volatility – 52.5%, risk free rate – 1.52%, expected life – 6.5 years – resulting in a fair value of $0.738/Option for Mr. DeGiglio.

STATEMENT OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

The following table describes the Company’s governance practices. Where applicable, reference is made to the governance practices of the Company’s predecessor, the Fund. For convenience, these are organized by reference to the requirements set out in National Instrument58-101—Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (“NI58-101”).

Form58-101F1 Required Disclosure	Comments Regarding the Company’s Corporate Governance Practices
1. Board of Directors	A majority of the Board is independent. The independent directors are as follows: •  John R. McLernon •  Christopher C. Woodward •  John P. Henry •  David Holewinski •  Dr. Roberta Cook The following directors are not independent: •  Michael A. DeGiglio •  Stephen C. Ruffini

2.  Board Mandate	The Board has a written mandate (the “Board Mandate”), which is attached hereto as Appendix A.
3.  Position Descriptions	The written position descriptions for the chair of the Board and for the chair of each Board committee are set out in the Board Mandate. The written position description for the Chief Executive Officer of the Company is set out in the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee charter.
4.  Orientation and Continuing Education	Orientation materials relating to the Company’s business and affairs are provided to new directors regarding the role of the Board and its committees including materials with respect to the Board Mandate and the mandate of each committee of the Board.

On an annual basis, the directors meet at one of the Company’s facilities, receive a tour of such facility and are provided an opportunity to ask questions.
5.  Ethical Business Conduct	A Code of Ethics and Whistleblower Policy (the “Code”) applicable to all employees, officers and directors was implemented by the Fund in 2006 and was adopted by the Board upon completion of the conversion transaction on December 31, 2009 and is available electronically on SEDAR atwww.sedar.com. To facilitate compliance with the Code, the Code includes mandatory procedures with respect to the reporting of conflicts of interest.
	Since the beginning of the most recently completed financial year, no reports have been filed pertaining to any conduct of a director or executive officer that constitutes a departure from the Code. The Code includes requirements with respect to the avoidance of self-dealing conflicts of interests. The Code provides for a complaint procedure which allows employees to report (anonymously, if they wish) any conduct that does not comply with the Code. Through the Code, the Board encourages and promotes a culture of ethical business conduct in which it can monitor compliance with the Code.

- 28 -

6.  Nomination of Directors	The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for the nomination of directors. The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee is composed of three directors, all of whom are independent. The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee examines the size, composition and structure of the Board and makes recommendations with respect to individuals qualified for appointment to the Board. The Board aspires to the highest standards of governance and is committed to ensuring that its practices are consistent with those considered to be the most beneficial to shareholders. Accordingly, the Board has approved a policy that in an uncontested election of directors, any nominee who is not elected by at least a majority (50% + 1) of the votes cast with respect to his or her election will tender his or her resignation immediately. The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee will consider the offer of resignation and, absent exceptional circumstances, will recommend that the Board accept the resignation. The Board will promptly accept the resignation absent exceptional circumstances, and will make its decision and announce its decision and the reasons for its decision in a press release no later than 90 days after the date of the applicable Shareholders’ meeting.
7.  Compensation	On an annual basis, the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee, composed entirely of independent directors, reviews and recommends to the Board, for approval, the remuneration of directors. For further particular, please see “Compensation of Directors and Executive Officers – Compensation Discussion and Analysis”.
8.  Other Board Committees	The Company does not have any standing committees other than the Audit Committee and the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee, as discussed herein.
9.  Assessments	The mandate of the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee provides that the committee is responsible for assessing the composition of the Board, the effectiveness of the Board and its committees and the contribution of individual directors. The objective of these assessments is to ensure the continuous efficiency of the Board and its committees in performing their duties and to promote continuous improvement. Along with any issue that it deems significant, during the assessment of the Board or a committee, the committee takes into account the mandate or applicable rules, and during the assessment of each director, it takes into account the applicable position descriptions as well as the skills and abilities that each director should in principle contribute to the Board.

- 29 -

10.  Director Term Limits and Other Mechanisms of Board Renewal

The Company does not impose term limits on its directors as it takes the view that term limits are an arbitrary mechanism for removing directors which can result in valuable, experienced directors being forced to leave the Board solely because of length of service. Instead, the Company believes that directors should be assessed based on their ability to continue to make a meaningful contribution.

11.  Diversity

The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee believes that having a diverse Board and senior management team offers a depth of perspective and enhances Board and management operations. The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee identifies candidates to the Board and management of the Company that possess skills with the greatest ability to strengthen the Board and management. The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee does not specifically define diversity, but values diversity of experience, perspective, education, race, gender and national origin as part of its overall evaluation of director nominees for election orre-election as well as candidates for management positions. Recommendations concerning director nominees are, foremost, based on merit and performance. The Board does not support fixed percentages for any selection criteria, as the composition of the Board and management is based on the numerous factors established by the selection criteria and it is ultimately the skills, experience, character and behavioral qualities that are most important to determining the value which an individual could bring to the Board or management of the Company. At the senior management level, no executive officer of the Company and its subsidiaries (0%) is female. There is currently one female director (14%). The Company does not have a formal policy on the representation of women on the Board or senior management of the Company. The Board does not believe that a formal diversity policy will necessarily result in the identification or selection of the best candidates. As such, the Company does not see any meaningful value in adopting a formal policy in this respect at this time as it does not believe that it would further enhance gender diversity beyond the current recruitment and selection process carried out by the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee. However, the Board is mindful of the benefit of diversity on the Board and management of the Company and the need to maximize the effectiveness of the Board and management and their respective decision-making abilities. Due to the size of the Company, its activities, and its number of employees, the Company has not yet set measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity. The Company will consider establishing measureable objectives as it develops.

4. QUALIFICATIONS OF DIRECTORS

Directors are expected to have the highest personal and professional ethics and values and be committed to advancing the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. They are also expected to possess skills and competencies in areas that are relevant to the Company’s activities and that enhance the ability of the Board to effectively oversee the business and affairs of the Company.

A majority of the Board must be independent. Independent shall have the meaning, as the context requires, given to it in National Instrument52-110Audit Committees, as may be amended from time to time. The chairperson of the Board (the “Chair of the Board”) must be an independent director. The Chair of the Board should act as the effective leader of the Board and ensure that the Board’s agenda will enable it to successfully carry out its duties. The position description for the Chair of the Board is attached hereto as Schedule A.

- 33 -

Each director must have an understanding of the Company’s principal operational and financial objectives, plans and strategies, financial position and performance as well as the performance of the Company relative to its principal competitors. Directors must have sufficient time to carry out their duties and not assume responsibilities that would materially interfere with, or be incompatible with, Board membership. Directors, who experience a significant change in their personal circumstances, including a change in their principal occupation, are expected to advise the chairperson of the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee (the “Committee Chair”) and, if determined appropriate by the Board on the recommendation of the Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee, resign from the Board.

5. MEETINGS

The Board has meetings at least once in each quarter, with additional meetings held when required. Additional meetings may be called by the Chair of the Board or any two directors on proper notice. Board meetings may be held by telephonic means.

The Chair of the Board is primarily responsible for the agenda. Prior to each Board meeting, the Chair of the Board will discuss agenda items for the meeting with the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and other members of the Board. Any director may propose the inclusion of items on the agenda, request the presence of, or a report by any member of senior management of the Company, or at any Board meeting raise subjects that are not on the agenda for that meeting.

The Audit Committee of the Company has meetings quarterly, with additional meetings held when required. The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee of the Company has meetings as often as it deems necessary. Meeting frequency and agendas for the standing committees may change from time to time, however, depending on opportunities or risks faced by the Company and its subsidiaries. The committee chairperson or any two members of a committee may call a committee meeting, request that an item be included on the committee’s agenda or raise subjects that are not on the agenda for that meeting.

Audit Committee meetings can also be called by the Company’s auditor or the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Notice of the place, day and time of each Board or committee meeting must be served on each director or manager at least 48 hours prior to the meeting. Directors or committee members, however, may waive notice of any meeting. Attendance of a director, in person or by telephone, at a Board meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of that meeting except, with respect to Board meetings, in circumstances described in theBy-laws of the Company (the“By-laws”). The notice needs to state the purpose or purposes for which the meeting of directors or managers is being held.

(a) Procedures for Board Meetings

• Subject to the Company’sBy-laws, procedures for Board meetings are determined by the Chair of the Board unless otherwise determined by a resolution of the Board.

• Subject to the Company’sBy-laws, procedures for committee meetings are determined by the committee chairperson unless otherwise determined by a resolution of the committee or the Board.

(a) Attendance and Participation

• Each director is expected to attend all meetings of the Board and any committee of which he or she is a member.

• In advance of each Board or committee meeting, members will receive the proposed agenda and other materials necessary to the directors’ understanding of the matters to be considered. Directors are expected to spend the time needed to review the materials in advance of such meetings and to actively participate in such meetings.

(b) Service on Other Boards and Audit Committee

• The Board does not believe that its members should be prohibited from serving on the boards of other public companies so long as these commitments do not materially interfere and are compatible with their ability to fulfill their duties as a member of the Board. Directors must advise the Chair of the Board in advance of accepting an invitation to serve on the board of another public company and, as a general rule, directors are not allowed to join a board of another public company on which two or more other directors of the Company serve.

(c) Access to Independent Advisors

• The Board and any committee may at any time retain outside financial, legal or other advisors at the expense of the Company and have the authority to determine the advisors’ fees and other retention terms. Any director may, subject to the approval of the Chair of the Board, retain an outside advisor at the expense of the Company.

7. EVALUATION OF BOARD, DIRECTORS AND COMMITTEES

The Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee, in consultation with the Chair of the Board, will ensure that an appropriate system is in place to evaluate and perform an annual evaluation of the effectiveness of the Board as a whole as well as the committees of the Board, and the boards of directors or managers and board committees of the Company’s subsidiaries, to ensure they are fulfilling their respective responsibilities and duties. In connection with these evaluations, each director will be requested to provide his or her assessment of the effectiveness of the Board and each committee as well as the performance of individual directors. These evaluations should take into account the competencies and skills each director is expected to bring to his or her particular role on the Board or on a committee, as well as any other relevant facts. The position description for a committee chairperson is attached hereto as Schedule B.

- 35 -

8. MANAGEMENT

(a) Management’s Role

• The primary responsibility of management of the Company is to safeguard the Company’s assets and to create wealth for shareholders. When performance is found to be inadequate, the Board has the responsibility to bring about appropriate change.

• Management of the Company is under the direction of its Chief Executive Officer. The Board shall take such steps as it deems necessary to satisfy itself as to the integrity of the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers of the Company and that such individuals create a culture of integrity throughout the Company.

(b) Management’s Relationship to the Board

• Senior management of the Company, primarily through the Chief Executive Officer, reports to and is accountable to the Board.

• Business plans are developed to ensure the compatibility of shareholder, Board and management views on the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries’ strategic direction, performance targets and utilization of shareholders’ equity. A meeting of the Board is held each year to review the strategic initiatives and the business plan submitted by senior management of the Company.

(c) Board Access to Management

• Information provided by management to directors is critical to their effectiveness. In addition to the reports presented to the Board at its regular and special meetings, the Board is also kept informed on a timely basis by management of the Company with respect to developments and key decisions taken by management in pursuing the Company’s business plan. The directors periodically assess the quality, completeness and timeliness of information provided by management to the Board.

(d) Management Performance Review and Rewards

• The Corporate Governance and Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee of the Company annually reviews the position description of the Chief Executive Officer and establishes objectives against which his or her performance is reviewed, with his or her compensation or level being assessed against these agreed objectives. Similar reviews and assessments are undertaken for other members of senior management in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer.

• The compensation plans of the Company are based on maintaining a direct link between management rewards and the wealth created for shareholders.
