Dear Investor:

 

Please find attached your form of proxy/voting instruction form for

 

Zomedica Pharmaceuticals Corp. Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders
Wednesday August 15, 2018 at 8:30 a.m. (EDT)

WeirFoulds LLP, 4100 – 66 Wellington Street West, TD Bank Tower, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

 

The following matters will be reviewed and voted upon at this meeting

  · Appointment of Auditors, as detailed on page 14 of the proxy circular

Under recent changes to Canadian security rules, Canadian companies are no longer required to distribute physical copies of certain annual meeting related materials such as proxy circulars and annual financial statements to their investors. Instead, they may post electronic versions of such material on a website for investor review. This process, known as "notice-and-access", directly benefits the company through a substantial reduction in both postage and material costs and also helps the environment through a decrease in paper documents that are ultimately discarded.

 

Electronic copies of investor materials related to this meeting may therefore be found at and downloaded from www.meetingdocuments.com/astca/ZOM . We have added features that will make searching for relevant sections and specific items a much easier process than finding this information in the paper versions of these documents. In addition, the investor materials will be filed and be publicly available under the Company's corporate profile on SEDAR (in Canada) and EDGAR (in the United States).

 

You have a number of ways to vote your shares, and these are detailed on the proxy/voting instruction form included with this package. However you choose to vote, we must receive your vote by 10:30 AM, Eastern Standard Time on August 13, 2018. We also strongly encourage you to first review the matters under discussion for the meeting as described in our proxy circular at www.meetingdocuments.com/astca/ZOM .


Should you wish to receive paper copies of investor materials related to this meeting, or have any questions, please contact us at 1-888-433-6443 or fulfilment@astfinancial.com prior to August 1 st , 2018 and we will send them within three business days, giving you sufficient time to vote your proxy. Following the meeting the documents will remain available at the website listed above for a period of one year.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR AND PROXY STATEMENT

IN RESPECT OF THE ANNUAL AND SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON AUGUST 15, 2018

 

INFORMATION REGARDING PROXIES AND VOTING AT THE MEETING

 

Solicitation of Proxies

 

This Management Information Circular and Proxy Statement (the "Management Proxy Circular") is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of Zomedica Pharmaceuticals Corp. (the "Corporation") for use at the Annual and Special Meeting of the holders (the "Shareholders") of common shares ("Common Shares") of the Corporation to be held at 8:30 a.m. (Toronto time) on Wednesday, August 15, 2018 at 4100 – 66 Wellington Street West, TD Bank Tower, Toronto, Ontario, Canada (the "Meeting"), for the purposes set forth in the Notice of Annual and Special Meeting (the "Notice") accompanying this Management Proxy Circular. Solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail, but may also be undertaken by way of telephone, facsimile or oral communication by the directors, officers and regular employees of the Corporation, at no additional compensation. Costs associated with the solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Corporation. This solicitation of proxies is first being given to Shareholders on or about July 5, 2018.

 

Appointment of Proxyholders

 

Accompanying this Management Proxy Circular is an instrument of proxy for use at the Meeting. Shareholders who are unable to attend the Meeting in person and wish to be represented by proxy are required to date and sign the enclosed instrument of proxy and return it in the enclosed return envelope. All properly executed instruments of proxy for Shareholders must be mailed so as to reach or be deposited at the offices of AST Trust Company (Canada) at 1 Toronto Street, Suite 1200, Toronto, Ontario M5C 2V6. Registered Holders can also Fax their proxy to 416-368-2502 or toll-free within North America 1-866-781-3111 or by e-mail to proxyvote@astfinancial.com no later than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays in the Province of Ontario) prior to the time set for the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

 

The persons designated in the instrument of proxy are officers and directors of the Corporation. A Shareholder has the right to appoint a person (who need not be a Shareholder) other than the persons designated in the accompanying instrument of proxy, to attend at and represent the Shareholder at the Meeting . To exercise this right, a Shareholder should insert the name of the designated representative in the blank space provided on the instrument of proxy and strike out the names of management's nominees. Alternatively, a Shareholder may complete another appropriate instrument of proxy.

 

Signing of Proxy

 

The instrument of proxy must be signed by the Shareholder or the Shareholder's duly appointed attorney authorized in writing or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by a duly authorized officer or attorney of the Corporation. An instrument of proxy signed by a person acting as attorney or in some other representative capacity (including a representative of a corporate Shareholder) should indicate that person's capacity (following his or her signature) and should be accompanied by the appropriate instrument evidencing qualification and authority to act (unless such instrument has previously been filed with the Corporation).

 

Revocability of Proxies

 

A Shareholder who has submitted an instrument of proxy may revoke it at any time prior to the exercise thereof. In addition to any manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked by instrument in writing executed by the Shareholder or by his or her duly authorized attorney or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or executed by a duly authorized officer or attorney of the corporation and deposited either: (i) at the registered office of the Corporation at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournments thereof, at which the instrument of proxy is to be used; or (ii) with the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof. In addition, an instrument of proxy may be revoked: (i) by the Shareholder personally attending the Meeting and voting the securities represented thereby or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized representative of the corporation attending at the Meeting and voting such securities; or (ii) in any other manner permitted by law.

 

 

 
 

 

Voting of Proxies and Exercise of Discretion by Proxyholders

 

All Common Shares represented at the Meeting by properly executed proxies will be voted on any ballot 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 Common Shares represented by the instrument of proxy will be voted in accordance with such instructions. The management designees named in the accompanying instrument of proxy will vote or withhold from voting the Common Shares in respect of which they are appointed in accordance with the direction of the Shareholder appointing him or her on any ballot that may be called for at the Meeting. In the absence of such direction, such Common Shares will be voted "FOR" the proposed resolutions at the Meetings. The accompanying instrument of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein with respect to amendments of or variations to the matters identified in the accompanying Notice and with respect to other matters that may properly be brought before the Meeting. In the event that amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice are properly brought before the Meeting or any further or other business is properly brought before the Meeting, it is the intention of the management designees to vote in accordance with their best judgment on such matters or business. At the time of printing this Management Proxy Circular, the management of the Corporation knows of no such amendment, variation or other matter to come before the Meeting other than the matters referred to in the accompanying Notice.

 

Notice-and-Access

 

The Corporation has elected to use the "notice-and-access" provisions under National Instrument 54-101 – Communications with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (the "Notice-and-Access Provisions") for the Meeting in respect of mailings to its registered holders of Common Shares ("Registered Shareholders") and in respect of mailings to its shareholders who do not own Common Shares in their own name ("Beneficial Shareholders"). The Notice-and-Access Provisions are a set of rules developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that reduce the volume of materials that must be physically mailed to shareholders by allowing a reporting issuer to post an information circular in respect of a meeting of its shareholders and related materials online.

 

In relation to the Meeting, a paper copy of each of the Notice of Meeting, this Information Circular, the Form of Proxy and the financial statements and related Management's Discussion and Analysis in respect of the most recent financial year of the Corporation will be mailed to those Registered Shareholders and Beneficial Shareholders who have previously requested to receive them. Unless requested in the manner described below, Registered Shareholders and Beneficial Shareholders will only receive a notice-and access notification and a form of proxy or voting instruction form.

 

The Corporation anticipates that notice-and-access will directly benefit the Corporation through substantial reductions in postage and printing costs. The Corporation believes that notice-and-access is also environmentally responsible to the extent that it decreases the large volume of paper documents generated by printing proxy-related materials.

 

The Corporation will be delivering proxy-related materials to non-objecting beneficial owners of its Common Shares directly with the assistance of AST Trust Company (Canada). Please note that the Corporation's management does not intend to pay for intermediaries to forward the notice-and-access notification and voting instruction request forms to those Beneficial Shareholders who have objected to their intermediary disclosing ownership information about them pursuant to Canadian securities legislation ("Objecting Beneficial Shareholders"). Consequently, if you are an Objecting Beneficial Shareholder, you will not receive these materials unless the intermediary holding Common Shares on your account assumes the cost of delivery.

 

 

  2  
 

 

Shareholders with questions about notice-and-access can call AST Trust Company (Canada) at 416-682-3860 or toll free at 1-800-387-0825.

 

In order to receive a paper copy of this Circular and other relevant information, requests by Shareholders may be made up to one year from the date the Circular was filed on System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval ("SEDAR") by: (i) mailing a request to the Corporation at 100 Phoenix Drive, Suite 190, Ann Arbor, MI 48108, USA, Attention: Chief Financial Officer; (ii) calling AST Trust Company (Canada) at 416-682-3801or toll free at 1-888-433-6443; (iii) by emailing a request to fulfilment@astfinancial.com; or (iv) online at the following website: www.meetingdocuments.com/astca/ZOM. The Corporation estimates that a Shareholder's request for paper copies of the Circular and other relevant information will need to be received prior to August 1 st , 2018 in order for such Shareholder to have sufficient time to receive and review the materials requested and return the completed form of proxy as set forth in this Circular

 

INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS OR COMPANIES IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED ON

 

Except as disclosed in this Management Proxy Circular, none of the directors or senior officers of the Corporation at

any time since the beginning of the Corporation's last financial year, nor any proposed nominee for election as a director of the Corporation, nor any associate or affiliate of any of the foregoing persons, has any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise in any matter to be acted on, other than the election of directors or the appointment of auditors.

 

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF VOTING SECURITIES

 

Voting Shares and Record Date

 

The authorized share capital of the Corporation consists of an unlimited number of Common Shares without nominal or par value. The record date for the determination of Shareholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting is June 19, 2018 (the "Record Date"). As at the Record Date, there were 92,905,397 Common Shares issued and outstanding as fully paid and non-assessable.

 

Common Shares

 

The holders of Common Shares are entitled to notice of and to vote at all annual and special meetings of shareholders and are entitled to one vote per Common Share. The holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive such dividends as the board of directors of the Corporation (the "Board of Directors" or the "Board") declares and, upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, to receive such assets of the Corporation as are distributable to holders of Common Shares.

 

Voting of Common Shares – General

 

Only Shareholders whose names are entered in the Corporation's register of shareholders at the close of business on the Record Date and holders of Common Shares issued by the Corporation after the Record Date and prior to the Meeting will be entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting, provided that, to the extent that: (i) a registered Shareholder has transferred the ownership of any Common Shares subsequent to the Record Date; and (ii) the transferee of those Common Shares produces properly endorsed share certificates, or otherwise establishes that he or she owns the Common Shares and demands, not later than ten days before the Meeting, that his or her name be included on the Shareholder list before the Meeting, in which case the transferee shall be entitled to vote his or her Common Shares at the Meeting.

 

Holders of Common Shares will not have any dissenters' rights of appraisal in connection with any of the matters to be voted on at the Meeting.

Voting of Common Shares – Advice to Non-Registered Holders

 

Only registered holders of Common Shares, or the persons they appoint as their proxies, are permitted to attend and vote at the Meeting. However, in many cases, Common Shares beneficially owned by a holder (a "Non-Registered Holder") are registered either:

 

  a) in the name of an intermediary (an "Intermediary") that the Non-Registered Holder deals with in respect of the Common Shares. Intermediaries include banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers, and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans; or

 

  b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited or "CDS").

 

In accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 54-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators, the Corporation has distributed copies of the Notice, this Management Proxy Circular and the instrument of proxy (collectively, the "Meeting Materials") to the clearing agencies and Intermediaries for onward distribution to Non-Registered Holders.

 

Intermediaries are required to forward meeting materials to Non-Registered Holders unless a Non-Registered Holder has waived the right to receive them. Typically, Intermediaries will use a service company (such as Broadridge Investor Communication Solutions ("Broadridge")) to forward meeting materials to Non-Registered Holders.

 

Generally, Non-Registered Holders who have not waived the right to receive meeting materials will:

 

  a) have received as part of the Meeting Materials a voting instruction form which must be completed, signed and delivered by the Non-Registered Holder in accordance with the directions on the voting instruction form; voting instruction forms sent by Broadridge permit the completion of the voting instruction form by telephone or through the Internet at www.proxyvotecanada.com; or

 

  b) less typically, be given a proxy which has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile, stamped signature) which is restricted as to the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Holder but which is otherwise uncompleted. This form of proxy need not be signed by the Non-Registered Holder. 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 AST Trust Company at the address referred to above.

 

The purpose of these procedures is to permit Non-Registered Holders to direct the voting of the Common Shares they beneficially own. Should a Non-Registered Holder wish to attend and vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on behalf of the Non-Registered Holder), the Non-Registered Holder should strike out the names of the persons named in the proxy and insert the Non-Registered Holder's (or such other person's) name in the blank space provided or, in the case of a voting instruction form, follow the corresponding instructions on the form. In either case, Non-Registered Holders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediaries and their service companies.

 

Only registered Shareholders have the right to revoke a proxy. Non-Registered Holders who wish to change their vote must in sufficient time in advance of the Meeting, arrange for their respective Intermediaries to change their vote and if necessary revoke their proxy in accordance with the revocation procedures set above.

 

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

 

The table below sets forth certain information with respect to beneficial ownership of our securities as of the Record Date by:

 

  · each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our issued and outstanding Common Shares;

 

 

  4  
 

 

  · each of our executive officers and directors; and
  · all executive officers and directors as a group.

 

The number of Common Shares beneficially owned by each shareholder is determined in accordance with United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules. Under these rules, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which a person has sole or shared voting power or investment power. Percentage ownership is based on 92,905,397 Common Shares outstanding on the Record Date. In computing the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, Common Shares subject to stock options, warrants or other rights held by such person that are currently convertible or exercisable or will become convertible or exercisable within 60 days of June 19, 2018 are considered outstanding, although these Common Shares are not considered outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

 

Unless otherwise stated, the address of each 5% or greater beneficial holder is c/o Zomedica Pharmaceuticals Corp., 100 Phoenix Drive, Suite 190, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48108. We believe, based on information provided to us, that each of the shareholders listed below has sole voting and investment power with respect to the Common Shares beneficially owned by the shareholder unless noted otherwise, subject to community property laws where applicable.

Private Placement Transaction

 

On December 29, 2016, we issued 791,373 Common Shares in a private placement transaction (the "December 2016 Placement"), conducted in accordance with the requirements of and pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the United States Securities Act of 1933 and Regulation D promulgated thereunder to certain entities and individuals, including the Jeffrey M.

Equidebt Working Capital Facility

 

On September 1, 2017, Equidebt LLC ("Equidebt"), one of our shareholders, entered into a loan agreement (the "Loan Agreement"), with Mr. Solensky pursuant to which Equidebt agreed to provide Mr. Solensky with an unsecured line of credit in the amount of $5,000,000 for the purpose of enabling Mr. Solensky to exercise options to purchase up to 950,000 Common Shares expiring on December 21, 2018 and to purchase additional Common Shares from us from time to time, or the line of credit. Amounts borrowed under the line of credit were to bear interest at a rate of 14% per annum payable at maturity. In addition, Mr. Solensky was required to pay Equidebt a monthly maintenance fee of $6,250 per month payable at maturity. All amounts borrowed under the line of credit were to become due and payable on September 1, 2022. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (defined in the Loan Agreement to include Mr. Solensky's failure to make payments under the line of credit or his other indebtedness when due, the occurrence of certain insolvency events relating to Mr. Solensky or the occurrence of a substantial change in the existing or prospective financial condition or net worth of Mr. Solensky which Equidebt determines to be materially adverse), Equidebt had the right to declare all amounts outstanding under the line of credit immediately due and payable. We were not a party to the line of credit, which was full recourse against Mr. Solensky.

 

As a result of discussions with the NYSE American in connection with our application to list our Common Shares, we restructured and replaced the line of credit. Accordingly, on October 17, 2017, we entered into a loan agreement (the "Working Capital Loan Agreement"), with Equidebt pursuant to which Equidebt agreed to provide us with a five-year $5,000,000 unsecured working capital line of credit, or the working capital line of credit. Amounts borrowed under the working capital line of credit bear interest at a rate of 14% per annum payable at maturity. All amounts borrowed under the line of credit become due and payable on October 17, 2022. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (defined in the Working Capital Loan Agreement to include our failure to make payments under the working capital line of credit or our other indebtedness when due, the occurrence of certain insolvency events relating to us, Equidebt has the right to declare all amounts outstanding under the working capital line of credit immediately due and payable. The working capital line of credit is unsecured; however Mr. Solensky has personally guaranteed our obligations under the working capital line of credit. In connection with the establishment of the working capital line of credit, the line of credit provided by Equidebt to Mr. Solensky was cancelled without further liability or obligation of either party.

The 2018 Stock Option Plan authorizes the Board to issue options to directors, officers, key employees and others who are in a position to contribute to the future success and growth of the Corporation.

 

 

  14  
 

 

The following is a summary of the terms of the Plan and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the 2018 Stock Option Plan, which is attached hereto as Schedule "A":

 

  · The number of Common Shares to be reserved and authorized for issuance pursuant to options granted under the 2018 Stock Option Plan shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of the Corporation.

 

  · Under the 2018 Stock Option Plan, the aggregate number of optioned Common Shares granted to any one optionee in a 12 month period must not exceed 5% of the Corporation's issued and outstanding shares. The number of optioned Common Shares granted to any one consultant in a 12 month period must not exceed 2% of the Corporation's issued and outstanding shares. The aggregate number of optioned Common Shares granted to an optionee who is employed to provide investor relations' services must not exceed 2% of the Corporation's issued and outstanding Common Shares in any 12 month period.

 

  · The exercise price for options granted under the 2018 Stock Option Plan will not be less than the market price of the Corporation's Common Shares at the time of the grant, less applicable discounts permitted by the policies of the TSX-V.

 

  · Options will be exercisable for a term of up to five years, subject to earlier termination in the event of the optionee's death or the cessation of the optionee's services to the Corporation.

 

  · Options granted under the 2018 Stock Option Plan are non-assignable, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

 

Approval of the 2018 Stock Option Plan will require the affirmative votes of the holders of not less than half of the votes cast in respect thereof by Shareholders present in person or by proxy at the Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be treated as a vote for or against the approval of the 2018 Stock Option Plan and will not affect the outcome of the resolution. The TSX-V requires such approval before it will allow the adoption of the 2018 Stock Option Plan. Options to purchase Common Shares that were previously granted to directors, officers and employees of the Corporation will be deemed to be granted under the 2018 Stock Option Plan. The Board of Directors of the Corporation unanimously recommends that the Shareholders of the Corporation vote in favour of the resolution approving the 2018 Stock Option Plan. Unless instructed otherwise, the management designees in the accompanying instrument of proxy intend to vote FOR the resolution to ratify, adopt and approve the 2018 Stock Option Plan.

 

The text of the resolution regarding this matter is as follows:

 

"BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

 

  1. The Corporation's 2018 Stock Option Plan be and is hereby ratified, confirmed and approved in substantially the form attached as Schedule "A" to the Information Circular prepared for the purposes of this Meeting, subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange;

  15  
 

 

  5. Notwithstanding that this resolution has been duly passed by the shareholders of the Corporation, without further resolution of shareholders, approval is hereby given to the Board of Directors of the Corporation, in their sole discretion, to revoke this resolution at any time and to refrain from implementing the 2018 Stock Option Plan; and

In addition, the exercise price of an Option must be paid in cash. Disinterested shareholder approval shall be obtained by the Corporation prior to any reduction to the exercise price if the affected Participant is an insider (as defined in the Securities Act (Alberta)) of the Corporation at the time of the proposed amendment.

 

 

  A- 2  
 

 

  8. Number of Optioned Shares

 

The number of Shares that may be acquired under an Option granted to a Participant shall be determined by the Board as at the time the Option is granted, provided that the aggregate number of Shares reserved for issuance to any one Participant under this Plan or any other plan of the Corporation, shall not exceed five percent of the total number of issued and outstanding Shares (calculated on a non-diluted basis) in any 12 month period unless the Corporation receives the permission of the stock exchange or exchanges on which the Shares are listed to exceed such threshold and provided further that the number of Options granted to any one consultant in a 12 month period shall not exceed 2% of the total number of issued and outstanding Shares and the aggregate number of Options granted to persons employed to provide investor relations activities shall not exceed 2% of the total number of issued and outstanding Shares in any 12 month period.

  9. Term

 

The period during which an Option may be exercised (the "Option Period") shall be determined by the Board at the time that the Option is granted, subject to any vesting limitations which may be imposed by the Board in its sole unfettered discretion at the time that such Option is granted and Sections 11, 12 and 16 below, provided that:

 

  (a) no Option shall be exercisable for a period exceeding five (5) years from the date that the Option is granted unless the Corporation receives the permission of the stock exchange or exchanges on which the Shares are then listed and as specifically provided by the Board and as permitted under the rules of any stock exchange or exchanges on which the Shares are then listed, and in any event, no Option shall be exercisable for a period exceeding ten (10) years from the date the Option is granted;

 

  (b) no Option in respect of which shareholder approval is required under the rules of any stock exchange or exchanges on which the Shares are then listed shall be exercisable until such time as the Option has been approved by the shareholders of the Corporation;

 

  (c) the Board may, subject to the receipt of any necessary regulatory approvals, in its sole discretion, accelerate the time at which any Option may be exercised, in whole or in part; and

 

  (d) any Options granted prior to the completion of a Qualifying Transaction (as such term is defined in the rules of the TSX Venture Exchange) to any Participant that does not continue as a director, officer, consultant or employee (as the case may be) after the completion of a Qualifying Transaction have a maximum term of the later of 12 months after the completion of a Qualifying Transaction and 90 days after the Participant ceases to be a director, officer, consultant or employee following the Qualifying Transaction; and

 

  (e) any Options granted after completion of a Qualifying Transaction to any participant must expire within 90 days after the Participant ceases to be a Participant, and within 30 days for any Participant engaged in investor relation activities after such Participant ceases to be employed to provide investor relation activities.

 

  10. Method of Exercise of Option

 

  (a) Except as set forth in Sections 11 and 12 below or as otherwise determined by the Board, no Option may be exercised unless the holder of such Option is, at the time the Option is exercised, a director, officer, employee or consultant of the Corporation.

 

  (b) Options that are otherwise exercisable in accordance with the terms thereof may be exercised in whole or in part from time to time.

 

 

  A- 3  
 

 

  (c) Any Participant (or his legal, personal representative) wishing to exercise an Option shall deliver to the Corporation, at its principal office in the City of Calgary, Alberta:

 

  (i) a written notice expressing the intention of such Participant (or his legal, personal representative) to exercise his Option and specifying the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is exercised; and

 

  (ii) a cash payment, certified cheque or bank draft, representing the full purchase price of the Shares in respect of which the Option is exercised.

 

  (d) Upon the exercise of an Option as aforesaid, the Corporation shall use reasonable efforts to forthwith deliver, or cause the registrar and transfer agent of the Shares to deliver, to the relevant Participant (or his legal, personal representative) or to the order thereof, a certificate representing the aggregate number of fully paid and non-assessable Shares in respect of which the Option has been duly exercised.

 

  11. Ceasing to be a Director, Officer, Employee or Consultant

 

If any Participant shall cease to hold the position or positions of director, officer, consultant or employee of the Corporation (as the case may be) for any reason other than death, his Option will terminate at 4:00 p.m. (Calgary time) on the earlier of the date of the expiration of the Option Period and 90 days after the date such Participant ceases to hold the position or positions of director, officer, employee or consultant of the Corporation as the case may be, and ceases to actively perform services for the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option granted to a Participant who performs investor relations services on behalf of the Corporation shall terminate on the date that is 30 days after the termination of the employment or cessation of services being provided and shall be subject to Exchange policies and procedures for the termination of Options for investor relations services. For greater certainty, the termination of any Options held by the Participant, and the period during which the Participant may exercise any Options, shall be without regard to any notice period arising from the Participant's ceasing to hold the position or positions of director, officer, employee or consultant of the Corporation (as the case may be).

 

Neither the selection of any person as a Participant nor the granting of an Option to any Participant under this Plan shall: (i) confer upon such Participant any right to continue as a director, officer, employee or consultant of the Corporation, as the case may be; or (ii) be construed as a guarantee that the Participant will continue as a director, officer, employee or consultant of the Corporation, as the case may be.

 

  12. Death of a Participant

 

In the event of the death of a Participant, any Option previously granted to him shall be exercisable until the end of the Option Period or until the expiration of 12 months after the date of death of such Participant, whichever is earlier, and then, in the event of death, only:

 

  (a) by the person or persons to whom the Participant's rights under the Option shall pass by the Participant's will or applicable law; and

 

  (b) to the extent that he was entitled to exercise the Option as at the date of his death.

 

  13. Rights of Participants

 

No person entitled to exercise any Option granted under this Plan shall have any of the rights or privileges of a shareholder of the Corporation in respect of any Shares issuable upon exercise of such Option until such Shares have been paid for in full and issued to such person.

 

 

  A- 4  
 

 

  14. Proceeds from Exercise of Options

 

The proceeds from any sale of Shares issued upon the exercise of Options shall be added to the general funds of the Corporation and shall thereafter be used from time to time for such corporate purposes as the Board may determine and direct.

 

  15. Adjustments

 

  (a) The number of Shares subject to the Plan shall be increased or decreased proportionately in the event of the subdivision or consolidation of the outstanding Shares of the Corporation, and in any such event a corresponding adjustment shall be made to the number of Shares deliverable upon the exercise of any Option granted prior to such event without any change in the total price applicable to the unexercised portion of the Option, but with a corresponding adjustment in the price for each Share that may be acquired upon the exercise of the Option. In case the Corporation is reorganized or merged or consolidated or amalgamated with another corporation, appropriate provisions shall be made for the continuance of the Options outstanding under this Plan and to prevent any dilution or enlargement of the same.

 

  (b) Adjustments under this Section 15 shall be made by the Board, whose determination as to what adjustments shall be made, and the extent thereof, shall be final, binding and conclusive. No fractional Shares shall be issued upon the exercise of an Option following the making of any such adjustment.

 

  16. Change of Control

 

Notwithstanding the provisions of section 11 or any vesting restrictions otherwise applicable to the relevant Options, in the event of a sale by the Corporation of all or substantially all of its assets or in the event of a change of control of the Corporation, each Participant shall be entitled to exercise, in whole or in part, the Options granted to such Participant hereunder, either during the term of the Option or within 90 days after the date of the sale or change of control, whichever first occurs.

 

For the purpose of this Plan, "change of control of the Corporation" means and shall be deemed to have occurred upon:

 

  (a) the acceptance by the holders of Shares of the Corporation, representing in the aggregate, more than 50 percent of all issued Shares of the Corporation, of any offer, whether by way of a takeover bid or otherwise, for all or any of the outstanding Shares of the Corporation; or

 

  (b) the acquisition, by whatever means, by a person (or two or more persons who, in such acquisition, have acted jointly or in concert or intend to exercise jointly or in concert any voting rights attaching to the Shares acquired), directly or indirectly, of beneficial ownership of such number of Shares or rights to Shares of the Corporation, which together with such person's then owned Shares and rights to Shares, if any, represent (assuming the full exercise of such rights to voting securities) more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting rights of the Corporation's then outstanding Shares; or

 

  (c) the entering into of any agreement by the Corporation to merge, consolidate, amalgamate, initiate an arrangement or be absorbed by or into another corporation; or

 

  (d) the passing of a resolution by the Board or shareholders of the Corporation to substantially liquidate the assets or wind-up the Corporation's business or significantly rearrange its affairs in one or more transactions or series of transactions or the commencement of proceedings for such a liquidation, winding-up or re-arrangement (except where such re-arrangement is part of a bona fide reorganization of the Corporation in circumstances where the business of the Corporation is continued and where the shareholdings remain substantially the same following the re-arrangement); or

 

 

  A- 5  
 

 

  (e) individuals who were members of the Board of the Corporation immediately prior to a meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation involving a contest for or an item of business relating to the election of directors, not constituting a majority of the Board following such election.

 

  17. Transferability

 

All benefits, rights and Options accruing to any Participant in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Plan shall be non-transferrable and non-assignable unless specifically provided herein. During the lifetime of a Participant, any Options granted hereunder may only be exercised by the Participant and in the event of the death of a Participant, by the person or persons to whom the Participant's rights under the Option pass by the Participant's will or applicable law.

 

  18. Amendment and Termination of Plan

 

  a) The Board may, at any time and from time to time, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or an Option without shareholder approval, provided that no such amendment, suspension or termination may be made without obtaining any required approval of any regulatory authority or stock exchange or the consent or deemed consent of a Participant where such amendment, suspension or termination materially prejudices the rights of the Participant.

 

  b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 18(a), the Board may not, without the approval of the security holders of the Corporation (or, as may be required by the policies and procedures of the Exchange, the approval of the disinterested security holders of the Corporation), make amendments to the Plan or any Option for any of the following purposes:

 

  i. to increase the maximum number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to Options granted under the Plan as set out in Section 8;

 

  ii. to reduce the exercise price of Options for the benefit of an Insider;

 

  iii. to extend the term of an Option beyond the Option Period for the benefit of an Insider; and

 

  iv. to amend the provisions of this Section 18.

 

  c) In addition to the changes made pursuant to Section 3, the Board may, at any time and from time to time, without the approval of the security holders of the Corporation amend any term of any outstanding Option (including, without limitation, the exercise price, vesting and expiry of the Option), provided that:

 

  i. any required approval of any regulatory authority or stock exchange is obtained;

 

  ii. if the amendments would reduce the exercise price or extend the expiry date of the Options granted to Insiders, approval of the security holders of the Corporation must be obtained;

 

  iii. the Board would have had the authority to initially grant the Option under the terms so amended; and

 

  iv. the consent or deemed consent of the Participant is obtained if the amendment would materially prejudice the rights of the Participant under the Option.

 

 

  A- 6  
 

 

  19. Necessary Approvals

 

The obligation of the Corporation to issue and deliver Shares in accordance with this Plan and Options granted hereunder is subject to applicable securities legislation and to the receipt of any approvals that may be required from any regulatory authority or stock exchange having jurisdiction over the securities of the Corporation. If Shares cannot be issued to a Participant upon the exercise of an Option for any reason whatsoever, the obligation of the Corporation to issue such Shares shall terminate and any funds paid to the Corporation in connection with the exercise of such Option will be returned to the relevant Participant as soon as practicable.

 

  20. Stock Exchange Rules

 

This Plan and any option agreements entered into hereunder shall comply with the requirements from time to time of the stock exchange or exchanges on which the Shares are listed.

Any notice required to be given by this Plan shall be in writing and shall be given by registered mail, postage prepaid or delivered by courier or by facsimile transmission addressed, if to the Corporation, at its principal address in Calgary, Alberta (Attention: President); or if to a Participant, to such Participant at his address as it appears on the books of the Corporation or in the event of the address of any such Participant not so appearing then to the last known address of such Participant; or if to any other person, to the last known address of such person.

SCHEDULE "B"

 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE POLICY

 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DISCLOSURE (FORM 58-101F1)

 

1. Board of Directors — Disclose how the board of directors (the board) facilitates its exercise of independent supervision over management, including:

 

  (a) the identity of directors that are independent, and

 

Jeffrey Rowe, James LeBar, Rodney Williams, Thomas Robitaille and Jane Eagleson.

 

  (b) the identity of directors who are not independent, and the basis for that determination.

 

Gerald Solensky Jr., Shameze Rampertab. In determining whether a director is independent, the Corporation chiefly considers whether the director has a relationship which could, or could be perceived to interfere with the director's exercise of independent judgment. Each of Gerald Solensky Jr. and Shameze Rampertab is currently an executive officer of the Corporation and therefore, is not considered to be independent.

 

  (c) whether a majority of directors are independent.

 

With five(5) out of the current seven (7) directors being independent, a majority of the board is independent.

 

  (d) If a director is presently a director of any other issuer that is a reporting issuer (or the equivalent) in a jurisdiction or a foreign jurisdiction, identify both the director and the other issuer.

 

Certain of the directors of the Corporation may, from time to time, serve as directors of other reporting issuers (or equivalent) in a jurisdiction or a foreign jurisdiction as follows:

 

Director Reporting Issuer
Gerald Solensky Jr. None
Shameze Rampertab None
Jeffrey Rowe None
James LeBar None
Rodney Williams None
Thomas Robitaille None
Jane Eagleson None

 

  (e) whether or not the independent directors hold regularly scheduled meetings at which non-independent directors and members of management are not in attendance. If the independent directors hold such meetings, disclose the number of meetings held since the beginning of the issuer's most recently completed financial year. If the independent directors do not hold such meetings, describe what the board does to facilitate open and candid discussion among its independent directors.

 

The independent directors do not hold regularly scheduled meetings at which non-independent directors and members of management are not present. However, the Board believes that appropriate structures and procedures are in place to ensure that it can function independently of management and the Board periodically holds independent sessions at the end of Board meetings. Additionally, all committees of the Board are composed entirely of independent directors and hold meetings at which the independent directors discuss matters they deem relevant to the Corporation. Independent directors are also in frequent informal communication with one another.

 

  (f) whether or not the chair of the board is an independent director. If the board has a chair or lead director who is an independent director, disclose the identity of the independent chair or lead director, and describe his or her role and responsibilities. If the board has neither a chair that is independent nor a lead director that is independent, describe what the board does to provide leadership for its independent directors.

 

 

  B- 1  
 

 

The Chairman of the Board is not an independent director. The Chairman focuses on promoting a culture of openness and debate among directors, helping to build and maintain constructive relationships between the independent and non-independent directors. When chairing Board meetings, the Chairman ensures that all views are heard and that the independent directors have an opportunity to challenge management constructively.

 

  (g) the attendance record of each director for all board meetings held since the beginning of the issuer's most recently completed financial year

 

The following table summarizes the attendance levels of all board meetings held since the beginning of the Corporation's most recently completed financial year:

 

Director No. of Board Meetings attended Percentage attendance
Gerald Solensky Jr. 5/5 100%
Shameze Rampertab 5/5 100%
Jeffrey Rowe 4/5 80%
James LeBar 5/5 100%
Rodney Williams 4/5 80%
Thomas Robitaille 5/5 100%
Jane Eagleson 5/5 100%

 

The following table summarizes the attendance levels of all standing committee meetings held since the beginning of the Corporation's most recently completed financial year:

 

Committee Member Audit Committee Meetings attended Percentage attendance Compensation Committee Meetings attended Percentage attendance Nomination and Corporate Governance Committee Meetings attended Percentage attendance
Jeffrey Rowe 4/4 100% N/A N/A 2/2 100%
James LeBar 4/4 100% 3/3 100% 2/2 100%
Rodney Williams 4/4 100% 3/3 100% 2/2 100%
Thomas Robitaille 4/4 100% 3/3 100% N/A N/A
Jane Eagleson N/A N/A N/A N/A 2/2 100%

 

The Corporation does not have a policy regarding director attendance at annual meetings of shareholders.

Stock Option Plans

 

As of December 31, 2015, Zomedica Pharmaceuticals Corp (formerly, Wise Oakwood Ventures Inc.), had a shareholder-approved option plan, or the WOW Plan, pursuant to which options to purchase 200,000 common shares were outstanding. The terms of the WOW Plan were substantially similar to those of our current Stock Option Plan. In connection with the Qualifying Transaction, these options were consolidated into options to purchase 80,000 common shares of Zomedica Pharmaceuticals Corp. and fully exercised and the WOW Plan was terminated.

 

In April 2016, concurrent with the completion of the Qualifying Transaction, we adopted a new equity stock option plan, the Stock Option Plan. The Stock Option Plan was approved by our shareholders. The purpose of the Stock Option Plan is to attract and retain employees, consultants, officers and directors to our company and to motivate them to advance the interests of our company by affording them with the opportunity, through share options, to acquire an equity interest in our company and benefit from its growth.

 

Administration . The Stock Option Plan is administered by our board of directors. Our board of directors may grant options to purchase shares of our common shares or such other shares as may substitute therefore in the capital of Zomedica Pharmaceuticals Corp. Our board of directors also has authority to determine the terms and conditions of each award, prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Stock Option Plan, and amend the terms of awards (provided that no amendment may materially prejudice the rights of a participant without consent such participant's consent). Our board of directors may delegate authority to a committee of our directors or to an officer. Our board or directors may terminate the Stock Option Plan.

 

Eligibility . Persons eligible to receive awards under the Stock Option Plan include any person who is an employee, officer, director or consultant provided that any consultant has performed and/or continues to perform services for our company under a written agreement and on an ongoing basis or is expected to provide a service to our company.

 

Shares Subject to the Stock Option Plan . The aggregate number of shares of common shares available for issuance in connection with options and awards granted under the Stock Option Plan is ten percent of the total number of issued and outstanding common shares calculated on a non-diluted basis. If any award of options granted under the Stock Option Plan expires or terminates without having been fully exercised, that number of common shares shall become available for the purpose of future grants under the Stock Option Plan.

 

Terms and Conditions of Options . Our board of directors will determine the exercise price of options granted under the Stock Option Plan. The exercise price of stock options may not be less than that from time to time permitted under the rules of any stock exchange on which the common shares are then listed. In addition, the exercise price of an option must be paid in cash.

 

The number of common shares subject to each option shall be determined by our board of directors with the following limitations. The number of common shares reserved for issuance to any one individual, consultant, person conducting investor relations or insider (as defined in the Securities Act (Alberta)) in a 12 month period may not exceed 5%, 2%, 2% and 10%, respectively, of the issued and outstanding common shares at the time of the grant.

 

No option may be exercisable for more than ten years from the date of grant. Options granted under the Stock Option Plan will be exercisable at such time or times as our board of directors prescribes at the time of grant. Options shall only be exercised by the participant as long as the optionee remains or was within the last ninety days an employee, officer, director or consultant, if the optionee dies, within one year of the optionee's death or if an optionee is engaged in investor relations activities, within 30 days of being so engaged by our company.

 

All benefits, rights and options accruing under the Stock Option Plan are non-transferrable and non-assignable unless specifically provided in the grant. During the lifetime of a participant, any options granted under the Stock Option Plan may only be exercised by the participant and in the event of the death of a participant, by the person or persons to whom the participant's rights under the option pass by the participant's will or applicable law.

 

Effect of Certain Corporate Transactions . In the event of a sale by our company of all or substantially all of its assets or in the event of a change of control (as defined in the Stock Option Plan) of our company, each participant shall be entitled to exercise, in whole or in part, the options granted to such participant under the Stock Option Plan, either during the term of the option or within ninety days after the date of the sale or change of control, whichever first occurs.

 

Director Compensation

 

        We have not established a formal compensation policy for our outside directors. We did not compensate our outside directors for their service in 2017.
