| Share-based compensation |
The Company has established a share option plan (the “Option Plan”) for directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company. The Company’s Board determines, among other things, the eligibility of individuals to participate in the Option Plan, the term and vesting periods, and the exercise price of options granted to individuals under the Option Plan.
Each share option is converted into one Class B Subordinate Voting Share on exercise. No amounts are paid or payable by the individual on receipt of the option. The options carry neither rights to dividends nor voting rights. Options may be exercised at any time from the date of vesting to the date of their expiry. [i] Share-based payment arrangements
