The maximum number of shares of common stock of the Company (the “Common Stock”) issuable pursuant to share-based payment arrangements, including stock options, restricted share units and performance share units, is 9,400,000.

Stock options

The Company grants stock options to directors, officers, employees and consultants as compensation for services, pursuant to its Amended Stock Option Plan (the “Stock Option Plan”). The maximum price shall not be less than the closing price of the Company’s shares on the last trading day preceding the date on which the grant of options is approved by the Board of Directors. Options have a maximum expiry period of ten years from the grant date. Vesting conditions are determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion with certain restrictions in accordance with the Stock Option Plan.

The Company recognizes share-based payments expense for all stock options granted using the fair value based method of accounting. The fair value of stock options is determined by the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with assumptions for risk-free interest rates, dividend yields, volatility factors of the expected market price of the Common Stock, forfeiture rate, and expected life of the options.

There were no stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Restricted share units

The Company grants restricted share units (“RSUs”) to directors, officers, employees and consultants as compensation for services, pursuant to its Amended RSU Plan (the “RSU Plan”). One restricted share unit has the same value as a share of Common Stock. The number of RSUs awarded and underlying vesting conditions are determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion.

At the election of the Board of Directors, upon each vesting date, participants receive (a) the issuance of Common Stock from treasury equal to the number of RSUs vesting, or (b) a cash payment equal to the number of vested RSUs multiplied by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock, calculated as the closing price of the Common Stock on the OTCQB for the trading day immediately preceding such payment date; or (c) a combination of (a) and (b).

On the grant date of RSUs, the Company determines whether it has a present obligation to settle in cash. If the Company has a present obligation to settle in cash, the RSUs are accounted for as liabilities, with the fair value remeasured at the end of each reporting period and at the date of settlement, with any changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss for the period. The Company has a present obligation to settle in cash if the choice of settlement in shares has no commercial substance, or the Company has a past practice or a stated policy of settling in cash, or generally settles in cash whenever the counterpart asks for cash settlement.

If no such obligation exists, RSUs are accounted for as equity settled share-based payments and are valued using the share price on grant date. Upon settlement:
