Item 3 – Persons Making the Solicitation
MANAGEMENT SOLICITATION
This information circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of REG TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (the"Company") for use at the annual general meeting (the"Meeting") of the Company to be held at The River Club, 11111 Horseshoe Way, Richmond, B.C., V7A 4Y1, on Thursday, October 11, 2007 at 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver time).The solicitation will be by mail and possibly supplemented by telephone or other personal contact to be made without special compensation by regular officers and employees of the Company. The Company does not reimburse shareholders, nominees or agents for the cost incurred in obtaining from their principals authorization to execute forms of proxy. No solicitation will be made by specifically engaged employees or soliciting agents. The cost of solicitation will be borne by the Company.
Item 4 – Proxy Instructions
APPOINTMENT OF PROXIES
The persons named in the enclosed Instrument of Proxy are directors and officers of the Company.A shareholder wishing to appoint some other person (who need not be a shareholder) to attend and act for him and on his behalf at the Meeting other than the persons designated in the accompanying Instrument of Proxy has the right to do so, either by inserting such person's name in the blank space provided in the Instrument of Proxy and striking out the two printed names, or by completing another Instrument of Proxy.A proxy will not be valid unless the completed Instrument of Proxy is deposited with Computershare Trust Company of Canada, Proxy Dept., 100 University Avenue, 9th Floor, Toronto, Ontario M6J 2Y1, Fax: Within North American: 1-866-249-7775 Outside North America: (416) 263-9524, not less than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the time fixed for the Meeting, in default of which the Instrument of Proxy shall not be treated as valid.
NON-REGISTERED HOLDERS
Only registered shareholders or duly appointed proxy holders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Most shareholders of the Company are “non-registered” shareholders because the shares 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.More particularly, a person is not a registered shareholder in respect of shares which are held on behalf of the 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 (Intermediaries include, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSP’s, RRIF’s, RESP’s and similar plans); or (b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited (“CDS”)) of which the Intermediary is a participant. In accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 54-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators, the Company has distributed copies of the Notice of Meeting, this Information Circular and the 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 proxywhich has already been signed by the Intermediary(typically by a facsimile, stamped signature), which is restricted as to the number of shares beneficially owned by the Non-Registered but which is otherwise not completed. Because the Intermediary has already signed the form of proxy, this form of proxy is note 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 anddeliver it to Computershare Trust Company of Canadaas provided above; or |
(b) | more typically, by given a voting instruction formwhich is not signed by the Intermediary,and which, when properly completed and signed by the Non-Registered Holder andreturned 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 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 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 Non-Registered Holders to direct the voting of the shares, 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 Proxy holders 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.
VOTING OF PROXIES
All shares represented at the Meeting by properly executed proxies will be voted on any poll that may be called for and, where a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon has been specified in the Instrument of Proxy, the shares represented by the proxy will be voted in accordance with such specification.
Where the shareholder has specified no choice, such shares will, on a poll, be voted in accordance with the notes to the form of Proxy.
The enclosed Instrument of Proxy confers discretionary authority upon the management designees or other persons named as proxy with respect to amendments to or variations of matters identified in the Notice of Annual General Meeting and any other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. At the time of printing of this Information Circular, the management of the Company knows of no such amendment, variation or the matter.
Item 5 – Interest of Certain Persons or Companies in Matters to be Acted Upon
INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS OR COMPANIES IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

Item14 – Particulars of Matters to be Acted Upon
Financial Statements
The audited financial statements of the Company for the fiscal years ended April 30, 2007 have been approved by the Company's audit committee and Board of Directors and are enclosed with this Information Circular and will be placed before the Meeting for acceptance by the shareholders.
Approval of Stock Option Plan
In accordance with Policy 4.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange Inc. (the “TSX” or “Exchange”), the directors of the Company adopted the Reg Technologies, Inc. 2002 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan” or the “2002 Plan”), and received shareholder approval of same on January 22,2003. The Company has adopted a type of plan under which options may be granted for a number of shares up to 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company from time to time. As the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan increases with the issue of additional shares by the Company, the Plan is considered to be a “rolling” stock option plan. This “rolling” plan requires Shareholder approval annually, and the Shareholders will be asked to approve the Plan.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the annual approval of the Plan.
Disinterested Shareholder Approval
In addition to the annual general approval described above, the Exchange requires companies to obtain approval of a majority of their disinterested shareholders for “share compensation plans” which, together with all of a company’s previously established or proposed stock option grants, could result at any time in the Company decreasing the exercise price of stock options previously granted to insiders.
“Disinterested Shareholder approval” requires a majority of the votes attaching to shares voted at the Meeting excluding those attaching to shares held by persons with an interest in the subject matter of the resolution. The Company’s disinterested Shareholders may not vote votes attaching to securities beneficially owned by interested parties in respect of resolutions requiring approval. To management’s knowledge, as of August 24, 2007, a total of 8,239,327, shares of the Company are held by insiders of the Company to whom options may be granted under the Plan which shares will not be eligible to be voted for the purposes of providing the annual approval of the Plan.
Accordingly, at the Meeting, the “disinterested” shareholders will be asked to consider and if thought fit, ratify, adopt, confirm and approve the adoption of the Plan, the existing stock options previously granted, and the downward repricing of options granted to insiders.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the annual approval of the Plan by Disinterested Shareholders.
Particulars of Other Matters to be Acted Upon
The Company will consider and transact such other business as may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. Management of the Company knows of no other matters to come before the Meeting other than those referred to in the Notice of Meeting. Should any other matters properly come before the Meeting, the shares represented by the proxy solicited hereby will be voted on such matters in accordance with the best judgment of the persons voting by proxy.

Committee Responsibilities and Activities
Board of Directors
The Board of Directors is composed of four directors. Two of these directors are executive officers of the Company. At this time, the Company has no directors which could be considered “independent”. All of the existing directors are experienced in the operation of junior resource companies and Board decisions are made to benefit the Company.
Directorships
Name of Director | Other Reporting Issuer(s) |
John G. Robertson | SMR Investments Ltd., Rand Energy Group Inc., Access Information Services, REGI U.S., Inc, IAS Energy Inc., Information Highway.com, Inc., Linux Gold Corp., Teryl Resources Corp. |
Jennifer Lorette | REGI U.S., Inc., IAS Energy Inc., Information Highway.com, Inc., Linux Gold Corp., Teryl Resources Corp. |
Susanne Robertson | Reg Technologies, Inc., Linux Gold Corp., Teryl Resources Corp. |
James Vandeberg | REGI U.S.,Inc., IAS Energy, Inc. ASAP Show Inc, Modern City Entertainment Inc. |
Directors Meetings
As none of the current board is “independent” as defined in NI 58-101, meetings of the directors are hold as informal weekly meetings. Directors Consent Resolutions are prepared when necessary to approve any decisions of the board. The Chair of the Board of Directors is the President of the Company.
Orientation and Education
The Company does not have a formal process of orientation for new directors. Historically such orientation and education is provided on an informal basis. As new directors join the Board, management will provide these individuals with corporate policies, historical information, and an outline of general duties. The Board believes these procedures are a practical and effective approach due to the size of the company and the limited number of changes to the board.
Ethical Business Conduct
The Board has not adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics for directors, officers and employees of the Company.
Nomination of Directors
The Board has not appointed a formal nominating committee.
Compensation
The Board is responsible for reviewing and approving the compensation for all officers, management and employees. The Board is also responsible for reviewing compensation programs such as the stock option plan and is solely responsible for the granting of any stock options to any officer, management, employees or consultants.
Report on Executive Compensation
The Board of Directors, when performing equivalent functions of a Compensation Committee, bases their decisions on very simplistic policies.
When deciding the method and amount of compensation, the Board of Directors base their decision on the following criteria and factors:
1. | level of services, expertise, business contacts and skills provided to the Company; |
2. | degree of involvement and participation in the day to day operations of the Company; |
3. | amount of finances available to the Company; and |
4. | amount of outstanding options already granted. |
At this time there is no relationship between corporate performance and executive compensation.
Other Board Committees
The Board currently has one committee being the Audit Committee.
Assessments
Based on the Company’s size and its current state of development the Board considers a formal process for assessing to be unnecessary at this time.
Audit Committee
The Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities relating to the Company’s corporate accounting and reporting practices. The Audit Committee is responsible for ensuring that management has established appropriate processes for monitoring the Company’s systems and procedures for financial reporting and controls, reviewing all financial information in disclosure documents; monitoring the performance and fees and expenses of the Company’s external auditors and recommending external auditors for appointment by shareholders. The Audit Committee is also responsible for reviewing the Company’s annual financial statements prior to approval by the Board and release to the public. Currently the members are Jennifer Lorette, Susanne Robertson and James Vandeberg.
APPROVAL AND CERTIFICATION
The Board of Directors has approved the contents and the sending of this Circular and recommends that shareholders vote in favour of all proposed resolutions. Where information contained in this Circular, rests specifically within the knowledge of a person other than the Company, the Company has relied upon information furnished by such person.
