PROXY STATEMENT AND INFORMATION CIRCULAR

ANNUAL GENERAL AND SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
TO BE HELD MAY 15, 2014

In this Proxy Statement and Information Circular, all references to “$” are references to United States dollars and all references to “C$” are references to Canadian dollars.

The enclosed proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors of Viscount Systems, Inc. (" Viscount " or the “ Company ”), a Nevada corporation, for use at the Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders of Viscount (the “ Meeting ”) to be held at 8:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) on Thursday, May 15, 2014, at Hilton Garden Inn, 815 14th Street NW, Washington, DC 20005, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof.

This Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy card are being mailed to the stockholders of Viscount on or about April 16, 2014.

The cost of solicitation will be borne by the Company. The solicitation will be made primarily by mail. Proxies may also be solicited personally or by telephone by certain of the Company’s directors, officers and regular employees, who will not receive additional compensation therefore. In addition, the Company will reimburse brokerage firms, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their expenses in forwarding solicitation materials to beneficial owners.

Our principal executive offices are located at 4585 Tillicum Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, V5J 5K9.

PROXY VOTING

The manner in which your shares may be voted by proxy depends on how your shares are held. If you own shares of record, meaning that your shares of Common Stock are represented by certificates or book entries in your name so that you appear as a shareholder on the records of our stock transfer agent, Pacific Stock Transfer Company, a proxy card for voting those shares will be included with this proxy statement. You may vote those shares by completing, signing and returning the proxy card at the following address: Advantage Proxy, 24925 13 th Place South, Des Moines, WA 98198, fax number (206) 870-8492. Scanned copies of signed proxies can also be sent by email to ksmith@advantageproxy.com .

If you own shares through a bank or brokerage firm account, you may instead receive a voting instruction form with this proxy statement, which you may use to instruct how your shares should be voted. Just as with a proxy, you may vote those shares by completing, signing and returning the voting instruction form. Many banks and brokerage firms have arranged for Internet or telephonic voting of shares and provide instructions for using those services on the voting instruction form. If your bank or brokerage firm uses Broadridge, you may vote your shares via the Internet at www.proxyvote.com or by calling the toll-free number on your voting instruction form.

Shares for which proxy cards are properly executed and returned will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with the directions noted thereon or, in the absence of directions, will be voted "FOR" the election of each of the nominees to the Board of Directors, "FOR" the appointment of Dale Matheson Carr-Hilton LaBonte LLP, Chartered Accountants, as the independent auditor for the current year, and “FOR” the resolution approving the amendment of the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws to increase the authorized number of directors from six to nine. It is not expected that any matters other than those referred to in this Proxy Statement will be brought before the Meeting. If, however, other matters are properly presented, the persons named as proxies will vote in accordance with their discretion with respect to such matters.

All proxy cards must be received by our proxy tabulating agent by no later than 48 hours prior to the time of the Meeting in order to be counted at the meeting.

1


Broker non-votes occur when a person holding shares through a bank or brokerage account does not provide instructions as to how his or her shares should be voted and the broker does not exercise discretion to vote those shares on a particular matter. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be included in determining the presence of a quorum at the Meeting. However, an abstention or broker non-vote will not have any effect on the outcome for the election of Directors.

ATTENDANCE AND VOTING AT THE MEETING

If you own shares of record, you may attend the Meeting and vote in person, regardless of whether you have previously voted on a proxy card. If you own shares through a bank or brokerage firm account, you may attend the Meeting, but in order to vote your shares at the meeting, you must obtain a "legal proxy" from the bank or brokerage firm that holds your shares. You should contact your account representative to learn how to obtain a "legal proxy." We encourage you to vote your shares in advance of the Meeting date by one of the methods described above, even if you plan on attending the Meeting. You may change or revoke your proxy at the Meeting as described below even if you have already voted.

To be effective, each matter which is to be submitted to a vote of shareholders, other than for the approval of auditors, must be approved by a majority of the votes cast by the shareholders voting in person or by proxy at the Meeting. Every motion put to a vote at the Meeting will be decided on a show of hands unless a poll, before or on the declaration of the result of the vote by show of hands, is directed by the chair or demanded by at least one shareholder entitled to vote who is present in person or by proxy.

REVOCATION OF PROXY

Any shareholder holding shares of record may revoke a previously granted proxy at any time before it is voted by delivering to the Secretary of Viscount a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy card bearing a later date or by attending the Meeting and voting in person. Any shareholder holding shares through a bank or brokerage firm may revoke a previously granted proxy or change previously given voting instructions by contacting the bank or brokerage firm, or by obtaining a legal proxy from the bank or brokerage firm and voting at the Meeting.

RECORD DATE AND QUORUM

The board of directors (the “ Board ”) of the Company have fixed the record date for the Meeting as the close of business on April 9, 2014 (the “ Record Date ”). Company shareholders of record as at the Record Date are entitled to receive notice of the Meeting and to vote their shares at the Meeting, except to the extent that any such shareholder transfers shares any shares after the Record Date and the transferee of those shares establishes that the transferee owns the shares and demands, not less than ten (10) days before the Meeting, that the transferee’s name be included in the list of shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting, in which case only such transferee shall be entitled to vote such shares at the Meeting.

On the Record Date, there were 125,259,583 common shares of the Company (the “ Common Shares ”) issued and outstanding, each share carrying the right to one vote. Only shareholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to vote in person or by Proxy at the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

Pursuant to a Certificate of Designation, Preferences and Rights of the Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “ Preferred Shares ”), dated June 5, 2012, as amended, the holders of Preferred Shares will be entitled to vote on any matter submitted to shareholders of the Company and will be entitled to the number of votes for each Preferred Share owned at the Record Date equal to the number of Common Shares that such number of Preferred Shares are convertible into at such time; provided, however, the voting rights of each holder of Preferred Shares will be limited to the right to vote such number of Common Shares as, when aggregated with all other such Common Shares beneficially owned by such holder at such time, would result in such holder beneficially owning no more than 4.99% of all Common Shares then outstanding. The Preferred Shares will vote together with the Common Shares on all matters submitted to holders of Common Shares and not as a separate class. The holders of Preferred Shares will also be entitled to vote as a single class as and to the extent required by law, the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, the Amended and Restated Bylaws or as otherwise provided in the Certificate of Designation on all matters submitted to holders of Preferred Shares.

2


On the Record Date, there were 1,009.611 Preferred Shares issued and outstanding. The Preferred Shares carry the right to vote the equivalent of 22,921,931 Common Shares. Only shareholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to vote in person or by Proxy at the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

Under the Company’s articles, the quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting consists of one-third of the votes entitled to be cast on a matter by the holders of shares that are entitled to vote and be counted collectively upon such matter, represented in person or by proxy.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There are no claims, actions, proceedings or investigations pending against the Company, any director, officer or affiliate of the Company, any owner of record or beneficially of more than five percent of the Common Stock, or any associate of any such director, officer, affiliate of the Company, or security holder that, individually or in the aggregate, are material to the Company. Neither the Company nor its assets and properties is subject to any outstanding judgment, order, writ, injunction or decree that has had or would be reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The Company is not aware of any threatened lawsuits.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires Viscount's directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of Viscount's securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of Common Stock and other equity securities of Viscount. Directors, executive officers and greater than 10% shareholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish Viscount with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.

To Viscount's knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to Viscount, Viscount believes that during the year ended December 31, 2013, its directors, executive officers and greater than 10% shareholders filed insider reports required under Section 16(a), other than Dennis Raefield, Robert Liscouski, Paul Goldenberg, and Paul Brisgone, who have each failed to file a Form 3 or Form 5.

DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

The following table contains information regarding the members of the Board and the executive officers of Viscount as of the Record Date:

Name
Age
Position(s)
Dennis Raefield 66 Director, President, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman, Corporate Secretary
Robert Liscouski 60 Director

Paul Brisgone 65 Director
Stephen Pineau 52 Director
Ned Siegel 62 Director

RELATIONSHIPS AMONG DIRECTORS OR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The objective of the Company’s compensation program is to compensate the executive officers for their services to the Company at a level that is both in line with the Company’s fiscal resources and competitive with companies at a similar stage of development.

The Company compensates its executive officers based on their skill and experience levels and the existing stage of development of the Company. Executive officers are rewarded on the basis of the skill and level of responsibility involved in their position, the individual’s experience and qualifications, the Company’s resources, industry practice, and regulatory guidelines regarding executive compensation levels.

The Board has implemented three levels of compensation to align the interests of the executive officers with those of the shareholders. First, executive officers are paid a monthly consulting fee or salary. Second, the Board awards executive officers long term incentives in the form of stock options. Finally, and only in special circumstances, the Board may award cash or share bonuses for exceptional performance that results in a significant increase in shareholder value. The Company does not provide medical, dental, pension or other benefits to the executive officers.

6


The base compensation of the executive officers is reviewed and set annually by the Board. The CEO has substantial input in setting annual compensation levels. The CEO is directly responsible for the financial resources and operations of the Company. In addition, the CEO and Board from time to time determine the stock option grants to be made pursuant to the Company’s Stock Option Plan. Previous grants of stock options are taken into account when considering new grants. The Board awards bonuses at its sole discretion. The Board does not have pre-existing performance criteria or objectives.

Compensation for the most recently completed financial year should not be considered an indicator of expected compensation levels in future periods. All compensation is subject to and dependent on the Company’s financial resources and prospects.

Summary Compensation Table

The following table sets forth all information concerning the total compensation of Viscount’s president, chief executive officer, chief financial officer, and the two most highly compensated officer during the last fiscal year (the “ Named Executive Officers ”) during the last three completed fiscal years for services rendered to Viscount in all capacities:

The Company’s written policies and procedures for the review, approval, or ratification of any transaction required to be reported are consented to in writing by all the Directors. All “related party transactions” are required to first be reviewed and approved by the Board, which determines whether these transactions are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. In addition, related party transactions are subject to the provisions of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 “Protection of Minority Shareholders in Special Transactions”, which prescribes certain conditions under which related party transactions may be carried out, and provides certain exemptions thereto. Conflicts of interest with respect to the involvement of directors and officers in transactions with the Company are also subject to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act ( British Columbia ), the Nevada Revised Statutes and the Company’s articles and by-laws.

STATEMENT OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICE

Corporate governance relates to the activities of the Board, the members of which are elected by and are accountable to the shareholders, and takes into account the role of the individual members of management who are appointed by the Board and charged with the day to day management of the Company. The Canadian Securities Administrators have implemented National Instrument 58-101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices , which prescribes certain disclosure by the Corporation of its corporate governance practices. This disclosure is set out in the attached Schedule “A”.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

The Board is responsible for overseeing management of the Company and determining the Company’s strategy and for determining whether or not a director is independent. In making this determination, the Board has adopted the definition of “independence” as set forth in NI 58-101 and NP 58-201, which recommends that a majority of the board of directors be considered “independent”. In applying this definition, the Board considers all relationships of the directors of the Company, including business, family and other relationships. As at the date of this Proxy Statement and Information Circular, there are six directors on the Board: Stephen Pineau, Robert Liscouski, Paul Goldenberg, Dennis Raefield, Paul Brisgone, and Ned Siegel. Of the six directors, all are considered independent except for Dennis Raefield. Subject to the approval of the proposed slate for election, there will be five directors on the Board, four of whom will be considered independent and one of whom will be considered non-independent.

The Board does not have a written mandate. All roles and responsibilities of the Board are set forth by Dennis Raefield. Dennis Raefield is the President, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman and Corporate Secretary of the Company.

BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE AND ROLE IN RISK OVERSIGHT

Our Board leadership structure is currently composed of a Chairman of the Board, a non-independent Audit Committee Chair, an independent Nominating Committee Chair, an independent Compensation and Risk Committee Chair and an independent Corporate Governance Committee Chair. Dennis Raefield serves as both the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. Robert Liscouski acts as the lead independent Director.

Our Board recognizes the importance of effective risk oversight in running a successful business and in fulfilling its fiduciary responsibilities to the Company and its stockholders. While the Chief Executive Officer and other members of our senior leadership team are responsible for the day-to-day management of risk, our Board is responsible for ensuring that an appropriate culture of risk management exists within the Company and for setting the right "tone at the top," overseeing our aggregate risk profile, and assisting management in addressing specific risks, such as strategic and competitive risks, financial risks, brand and reputation risks, legal risks, regulatory risks, and operational risks.

The Board believes that its current leadership structure best facilitates its oversight of risk by combining independent leadership, through the lead Director, majority independent board committees, and majority independent board composition. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman has an intimate knowledge of our business, history, and the complex challenges we face. The Chairman's in-depth understanding of these matters uniquely positions him to promptly identify and raise key business risks to the Board and focus the Board's attention on areas of concern. The Chairman, lead Director, independent committee chairs and other directors also are experienced professionals or executives who can and do raise issues for Board consideration and review, and are not hesitant to challenge management. The Board believes there is a well-functioning and effective balance between the lead Director, non-executive board members and the Chairman, which enhances risk oversight.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES

During the financial year ended December 31, 2013, there were 3 regular meetings of the Board and 5 special meetings of the Board. All matters which required approval of the Board were consented to in writing by all Directors.

No director attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of the Board and the total number of meetings held by all committees of the board on which he served. The Company’s has no policies with regard to Board members’ attendance at AGMs. The number of Board members who attended the prior year’s AGM was two, as we only had two Directors.

The Board has established an Audit Committee, a Compensation and Risk Committee, a Nominating Committee, and a Corporate Governance Committee. Each of the Audit Committee, Compensation and Risk Committee, Nominating Committee, and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible to the full Board. The functions performed by these committees are summarized below:

In addition, it reviews the adequacy of internal accounting, financial and operating controls and reviews Viscount's financial reporting compliance procedures.

Based on the foregoing review and discussions, the Board has concluded that the audited financial statements should be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the SEC.

The Nominating Committee utilizes a variety of sources to identify possible Director candidates, including Board member recommendations. In evaluating candidates to recommend to the Board, the Nominating Committee considers all factors, including, but not limited to, whether the candidate enhances the diversity of the Board. Such diversity includes professional background and capabilities, knowledge of specific industries and geographic experience, as well as the more traditional diversity concepts of race, gender and national origin. The attributes of the current Directors and the needs of the Board and the Company are evaluated whenever a Board vacancy occurs, and the effectiveness of the nomination process, including whether that process enhances the Board’s diversity, is evaluated each time a candidate is considered. The Nominating is also responsible for reviewing the qualifications of, and making recommendations to the Board for, Director nominations submitted by our shareholders. All Director nominees are evaluated in the same manner by the Nominating Committee, without regard to the source of the nominee recommendation.”

Schedule “A”

Statement of Corporate Governance Disclosure

The following description of the governance practices of the Company is provided in accordance with the guidelines of applicable securities laws (the “ Guidelines ”). The Guidelines address matters relating to independence of directors, the functions to be performed by the directors of a company and their committees and effectiveness and evaluation of proposed corporate governance guidelines and best practices specified by the Canadian securities regulators. The directors of the Company will continue to monitor the developments and the various changes to the proposed corporate governance guidelines and best practices and where applicable will amend its corporate governance guidelines accordingly.

Guideline   The Governance Disclosure of the Company
     
1. Board of Directors    
     

Disclose how the Board of Directors (the “Board”) facilitates its exercise of independent supervision over management, including

 

The Board consists of six directors, of whom five are independent. Dennis Raefield is the President, Chief Executive Officer, and Corporate Secretary of the Company, and as such, not independent.

 

 

 

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

 

The Board facilitates its exercise of independent supervision over management by meeting or having discussions without management present whenever it is deemed necessary and by requiring all significant operational decisions to be approved by the Board.

 

   

2. Directorships

   

 

   

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.

 

The directors of the Company are directors of the following reporting issuers set opposite their names:

Stephen Pineau – None
Robert Liscouski - None
Paul Goldenberg - None
Dennis Raefield - None
Paul Brisgone – None
Ned Siegel - None

 

   

3. Orientation and Continuing Education

   

 

   

Describe what steps, if any, the Board takes to orient new Board members, and describe any measures the Board takes to provide continuing education for directors.

 

Orientation of new members of the Board is conducted informally by management and members of the Board. The Corporation has not adopted formal policies respecting continuing education for Board members.

 

   

4. Ethical Business Conduct

   

 

   

Describe what steps, if any, the Board takes to encourage and promote a culture of ethical business conduct.

 

The Board has not adopted a formal code of business conduct and ethics. The Board is of the view that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Corporation’s governing legislation and common law together with corporate statutory restrictions on an individual director’s participation in Board decisions in which the director has an interest are sufficient to ensure that the Board operates independently of management and in the best interests of the Corporation.

16



5. Nomination of Directors    
     

Disclose what steps, if any, are taken to identify new candidates for Board nomination, including:

(i)       who identifies new candidates, and 
(ii)      the process of identifying new candidates.

 

The Board considers its size each year when it considers the number of directors to recommend to the shareholders for election at the annual general meeting. The Board takes in to account the number of directors required to carry out the Board’s duties effectively and to maintain diversity of views and experience.

 

   

6. Compensation

   

 

   

Disclose what steps, if any, are taken to determine compensation for the directors and CEO, including:

(i)       who determines compensation, and
(ii)      the process of determining compensation.

 

Members of the Board are not compensated for acting as directors. The Board as a whole determines the stock option grants for each director. Board members review the compensation of the senior officers on an annual basis to ensure that it is competitive.

 

   

7. Other Board Committees

   

 

   

If the Board has standing committees other than the audit, compensation and nominating committees, identify the committees and describe their function.

 

The Board is satisfied that, in view of the size and composition of the Board, it is more efficient and cost effective for the full board to perform the duties that would be required by standing committees, other than the audit and compensation committees.

 

   

8. Assessments

   

 

   

Disclose what steps, if any, that the Board takes to satisfy itself that the Board, its committees, and its individual directors are performing effectively.

 

The Board annually, and at such other times as it deems appropriate, reviews the performance and effectiveness of the Board, the directors and its committees to determine whether changes in size, personnel or responsibilities are warranted. To assist in its review, the Board conducts informal surveys of its directors and receives reports from each committee respecting its own effectiveness. As part of the assessments, the Board or the individual committee may review their respective mandate or charter and conduct reviews of applicable corporate policies.
