Notice-and-Access Provisions

In relation to the Meeting, all Shareholders will receive the required documentation under Notice-and-Access Provisions, which will not include a paper copy of the Information Circular.

A paper copy of the Information Circular may be requested at any time during this period.  To allow time for a Shareholder to receive and review a paper copy of the Information Circular and then submit their vote by 6:00 p.m. (PST) on Monday, July 25, 2022 (the “Proxy Deadline”), a Shareholder should ensure their request for a paper copy is received by the Company by Friday, July 8, 2022.

INFORMATION CIRCULAR
(As at June 9, 2022 (except as otherwise indicated))

This Information Circular (the “Information Circular”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by management of Electrameccancia Vehicles Corp. (the “Company”) for use at the Virtual Annual General Meeting (the “Meeting”) of its shareholders to be held on Wednesday, July 27, 2022, at 6:00 p.m. Pacific Time, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying notice of the Meeting.

In this Information Circular references to the “Company”, “we” and “our” refer to Electrameccanica Vehicles Corp.  “Common Shares” means common shares in the capital of the Company.  “Shareholders” means all shareholders of the Company who hold Common Share as either Beneficial Shareholders or Registered Shareholders (each term as defined in this Information Circular).  “Beneficial Shareholders” means shareholders who do not hold Common Shares in their own name and “intermediaries” refers to brokers, investment firms, clearing houses and similar entities that own securities on behalf of Beneficial Shareholders.

Online Only Shareholder Meeting

The Company is conducting an online only Shareholders’ Meeting.  Registered Shareholders (as described in this Information Circular under the heading “Voting at the Meeting”) and duly appointed proxyholders can attend the Meeting online at https://web.lumiagm.com/489898156 where they can participate, vote or submit questions during the Meeting’s live webcast.

GENERAL PROXY INFORMATION

Solicitation of Proxies

The solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail, but proxies may be solicited personally or by telephone by directors, officers and regular employees of the Company.  The Company will bear all costs of this solicitation.  We have arranged for intermediaries to forward the Meeting materials to Beneficial Shareholders of the Common Shares held of record by those intermediaries and we may reimburse the intermediaries for their reasonable fees and disbursements in that regard.

Notice-and-Access

Notice-and-Access means provisions concerning the delivery of proxy-related materials to shareholders found in section 9.1.1. of National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations (“NI 51-102”), in the case of Registered Shareholders, and section 2.7.1 of National Instrument 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer

Page 2

(“NI 54-101”), in the case of Beneficial (also “Non-Registered”) Shareholders, which allow an issuer to deliver an information circular forming part of proxy-related materials to shareholders via certain specified electronic means provided that the conditions of NI 51-102 and NI 54-101 are met (collectively, the “Notice-and-Access Provisions”).

Notice-and-Access Provisions are a mechanism which allows reporting issuers other than investment funds to choose to deliver proxy-related materials to registered holders and beneficial owners of securities by posting such materials on a non-SEDAR website (usually the reporting issuer’s website and sometimes the transfer agent’s website) rather than delivering such materials by mail.  Notice-and-Access Provisions can be used to deliver materials for both special and general shareholder meetings.  Reporting issuers may still choose to continue to deliver such materials by mail, and beneficial owners are entitled to request delivery of a paper copy of the information circular at the reporting issuer’s expense.

Use of Notice-and-Access Provisions reduces paper waste and mailing costs to the issuer.  To utilize Notice-and-Access Provisions to deliver proxy-related materials by posting an information circular (and if applicable, other materials) electronically on a website that is not SEDAR, the Company must send a notice to Shareholders, including Non-Registered Shareholders, indicating that the proxy-related materials have been posted on the website and explaining how a Shareholder can access them or obtain from the Company a paper copy of the information circular.  This Information Circular has been posted in full on the Company’s website at https://investors.electrameccanica.com/annual-meeting and is also available for viewing under the Company’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.

In order to use Notice-and-Access Provisions, a reporting issuer must set the record date for notice (the “Notice-and-Access Notification”) of the meeting to be on a date that is at least 40 days prior to the meeting in order to ensure there is sufficient time for the information circular to be posted on the applicable website and other materials to be delivered to shareholders.  The requirements of that notice, which require the Company to provide basic information about the Meeting and the matters to be voted on, explain how a Shareholder can obtain a paper copy of the Information Circular and any related financial statements and Management Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”), and explain that the Notice-and-Access Provisions process have been built into the Notice-and-Access Notification. The Notice-and-Access Notification has been delivered to Shareholders by the Company along with the applicable voting document (a form of proxy in the case of Registered Shareholders or a voting instruction form in the case of Non-Registered Holders).

The Company will not rely upon the use of ‘stratification’.  Stratification occurs when a reporting issuer using the Notice-and-Access Provisions provides a paper copy of its information circular with the notice to be provided to shareholders as described above.  In relation to the Meeting, all Shareholders will receive the required documentation under the Notice-and-Access Provisions and all documents required to vote in respect of all matters to be voted on at the Meeting.  No Shareholder will receive a paper copy of the Information Circular from the Company or any intermediary unless such Shareholder specifically requests the same.

Page 3

This Information Circular is available for review at https://investors.electrameccanica.com/annual-meeting, being the website address to the Company’s annual general meeting page.  Any Shareholder who wishes to obtain a paper copy of the Information Circular should contact the Company, at 8057 North Fraser Way, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada, V5J 5M8, tel: (604) 428-7656 or toll free: 1-818-856-8170.  A Shareholder may also use the toll-free number noted above to obtain additional information about Notice-and-Access Provisions.  To ensure that a paper copy of the Information Circular can be delivered to a requesting Shareholder in time for them to review the Information Circular and return a proxy or voting instruction form prior to the proxy deadline, it is strongly suggested such Shareholder’s request is received by the Company by no later than July 8, 2022.

Appointment of Proxyholders

The individuals named in the accompanying form of proxy (the “Proxy”) are officers and/or directors of or counsel for the Company.  If you are a Shareholder entitled to vote at the Meeting, you have the right to appoint a person or company other than either of the persons designated in the Proxy, who need not be a Shareholder, to attend and act for you and on your behalf at the Meeting.  You may do so either by inserting the name of that other person in the blank space provided in the Proxy or by completing and delivering another suitable form of proxy.

Voting at the Meeting

Registered Shareholders

A registered Shareholder of Common Shares (each, a “Registered Shareholder”), or a Non-Registered Shareholder who has appointed themselves or a third party proxyholder to represent them at the Meeting, will appear on a list of Shareholders prepared by VStock Transfer, LLC (“VStock”), the Company’s transfer agent and registrar, for the Meeting.  To have their Common Shares voted at the Meeting, each Registered Shareholder or proxyholder will be required to enter their control number provided by VStock on the form of Proxy (the “Control Number”) as the Username at https://web.lumiagm.com/489898156 prior to the start of the Meeting.  In order to vote, Non-Registered Shareholders who appoint themselves or a third party as a proxyholder MUST register with VStock by sending an email to VStock at vote@vstocktransfer.com after submitting their voting instruction form and provide VStock with the name and email address of the appointed proxyholder in order to receive a Control Number which will be the Username (please see the information under the heading “Appointment of Proxies” below for details).

Registered Shareholders may wish to vote by proxy whether or not they are able to attend the Meeting via live webcast.  Registered Shareholders electing to submit a proxy may do so by choosing one of the following methods:

(a)complete, date and sign the enclosed form of Proxy and return it to the Company’s transfer agent, VStock, by fax at (646) 536-3179, or by mail to 18 Lafayette Place, Woodmere, New York, U.S.A., 11598; or 

Page 4

(b)scan and email the form of Proxy to VStock at vote@vstocktransfer.com; or 

(c)log onto VStock’s website at www.vstocktransfer.com/proxy and place your vote there.  Registered Shareholders must follow the instructions provided on the website and refer to the enclosed Proxy form for the holder’s account number and the Proxy access number. 

In all cases Registered Shareholders must ensure their Proxy is received at least 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays) before the Meeting, or the adjournment thereof, at which the Proxy is to be used.

The persons named in the Proxy will vote or withhold from voting the Common Shares represented thereby in accordance with your instructions on any ballot that may be called for.  If you specify a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, your Common Shares will be voted accordingly.  The Proxy confers discretionary authority on the persons named therein with respect to:

(a)each matter or group of matters identified therein for which a choice is not specified, other than the appointment of an auditor and the election of directors; 

(b)any amendment to or variation of any matter identified therein; and 

(c)any other matter that properly comes before the Meeting. 

In respect of a matter for which a choice is not specified in the Proxy, the management appointee acting as a proxyholder will vote in favour of each matter identified in the Proxy and, if applicable, for the nominees of management for directors and auditor as identified in the Proxy.

Shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders can attend the Meeting online by going to https://web.lumiagm.com/489898156.

In this respect:

§Registered Shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders can participate in the Meeting by clicking “I have a login” and entering a Username (the Control Number) and Password before the start of the Meeting and note the following:

§voting at the Meeting will only be available for Registered Shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders.  Non-Registered Shareholders who have not appointed themselves may attend the Meeting by clicking “I am a guest” and completing the online form. 

Shareholders who wish to appoint a third party proxyholder to represent them at the online Meeting must submit their proxy or voting instruction form (as applicable) prior to registering their proxyholder.  Registering the proxyholder is an additional step once a Shareholder has submitted their proxy/voting instruction form.  Failure to register a duly appointed proxyholder will result in the proxyholder not receiving a Control Number which will be the Username to participate in the Meeting.  To register a proxyholder, shareholders MUST send an email to VStock at vote@vstocktransfer.com after submitting their proxy/voting instruction form and provide VStock with the name and email address of the appointed proxyholder, which must be done by Monday, July 25, 2022, so that VStock may provide the proxyholder with a Control Number which will be the Username via email.

In order to participate online, Shareholders must have a valid 12-digit Control Number and proxyholders must have received an email from VStock containing a Control Number which will be the Username.

Non-Registered (Beneficial) Shareholders

Beneficial Shareholders

The following information is of significant importance to Shareholders of the Company who do not hold Common Shares in their own name.  Beneficial Shareholders should note that the only proxies that can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting are those deposited by Registered Shareholders or as set out in the following disclosure.

If Common Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Company shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those Common Shares will not be registered in the Shareholder’s name on the records of the Company.  Such Common Shares will more likely be registered under the names of intermediaries.  In Canada, the vast majority of such Common Shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited, which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms) and, in the United States, under the name of Cede & Co. as nominee for The Depository Trust Company (which acts as depositary for many U.S. brokerage firms and custodian banks).

Intermediaries are required to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of meetings of Company shareholders.  Every intermediary has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients.

Page 6

There are two kinds of Beneficial Shareholders – those who object to their identity being made known to the issuers of securities which they own (called “OBOs”; for Objecting Beneficial Owners) and those who do not object to the issuers of the securities they own knowing their identity (called “NOBOs”; for Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners).

These securityholders’ materials are sent to both Registered and Non-registered (Beneficial) Shareholder owners of the securities of the Company.  If you are a non-registered owner, and the Company or its agent sent these materials directly to you, your name, address and information about your holdings of securities were obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the intermediary holding securities on your behalf.

Beneficial Shareholders who are OBOs should follow the instructions of their intermediary carefully to ensure that their Common Shares are voted at the Meeting.

The form of proxy supplied to you by your broker will be similar to the Proxy provided to Registered Shareholders by the Company.  However, its purpose is limited to instructing the intermediary on how to vote on your behalf.  Most brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc. (“Broadridge”) in Canada and in the United States.  Broadridge mails a Voting Instruction Form (a “VIF”) in lieu of a Proxy provided by the Company.  The VIF will name the same persons as the Company’s Proxy to represent you at the Meeting.  You have the right to appoint a person (who need not be a Beneficial Shareholder of the Company), different from the persons designated in the VIF, to represent your Common Shares at the Meeting, and that person may be you.  To exercise this right insert the name of your desired representative (which may be you) in the blank space provided in the VIF.  Once you have completed and signed your VIF return it to Broadridge by mail or facsimile, or deliver your voting instructions to Broadridge by phone or via the internet, in accordance with Broadridge’s instructions.  Broadridge tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Common Shares to be represented at the Meeting.  If you receive a VIF from Broadridge, it must be completed and returned to Broadridge, in accordance with Broadridge’s instructions, well in advance of the Meeting in order to: (i) have your Common Shares voted at the Meeting as per your instructions; or (ii) have an alternate representative chosen by you duly appointed to attend and vote your Common Shares at the Meeting.

Appointment of Proxies

Shareholders who wish to appoint a third party proxyholder to represent them at the online Meeting must submit their proxy or VIF (if applicable) prior to registering your proxyholder.  Registering your proxyholder is an additional step once you have submitted your proxy or VIF.  Failure to register the proxyholder will result in the proxyholder not receiving a Control Number which will be the Username to participate in the Meeting.  To register a proxyholder, shareholders MUST send an email to VStock at vote@vstocktransfer.com after submitting their proxy/voting instruction form and provide VStock with the name and email address of the appointed proxyholder, which must be done by Monday, July 25, 2022, so that VStock may provide the proxyholder with a Control Number which will be the Username via email.

A proxy can be submitted to VStock either by fax, at (646) 536-3179, or by mail or courier, to 18 Lafayette Place, Woodmere, New York, U.S.A., 11598, or by scan and email to vote@vstocktransfer.com, or via the internet at www.vstocktransfer.com/proxy.  The proxy must be deposited with VStock by no later than 6:00 p.m. Pacific Time on Monday, July 25, 2022, or if the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, not less than 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays, before the commencement of such adjourned or postponed Meeting.  If a Shareholder who has submitted a proxy attends the Meeting via the webcast and has accepted the terms and conditions when entering the Meeting online, any votes cast by such Shareholder on a ballot will be counted and the submitted proxy will be disregarded.

Without a Control Number which will be the Username, proxyholders will not be able to vote at the Meeting.

Notice to Shareholders in the United States

The solicitation of proxies involves securities of an issuer located in Canada and is being effected in accordance with the corporate laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada, and securities laws of applicable provinces of Canada.  The proxy solicitation rules under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), are not applicable to the Company or this solicitation, and this solicitation has been prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of the securities laws of applicable provinces of Canada.  Shareholders should be aware that disclosure requirements under the securities laws of applicable provinces of Canada differ from the disclosure requirements under United States securities laws.

The enforcement by shareholders of civil liabilities under United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that the Company is incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), as amended (the “BCA”), certain of its directors and its executive officers are residents of Canada and a substantial portion of its assets and the assets of such persons are located outside the United States.  Shareholders may not be able to sue a foreign

Page 9

company or its officers or directors in a foreign court for violations of United States federal securities laws.  It may be difficult to compel a foreign company and its officers and directors to subject themselves to a judgment by a United States court.

Revocation of Proxies

In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a Registered Shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke it by executing a proxy bearing a later date or by executing a valid notice of revocation, either of the foregoing to be executed by the Registered Shareholder or the Registered Shareholder’s authorized attorney in writing, or, if the shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal by an officer or duly authorized attorney, and by delivering the proxy bearing a later date to VStock or at the address of the registered office of the Company, located at 1500 Royal Centre, 1055 West Georgia Street, P.O. Box 11117, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 4N7, at any time up to and including the second last business day that precedes the day of the Meeting or, if the Meeting is adjourned, the second last business day that precedes any reconvening thereof, or in any other manner provided by law.

A revocation of a proxy will not affect a matter on which a vote is taken before the revocation.

Beneficial Shareholders who wish to change their vote must contact their intermediary to discuss their options well in advance of the Meeting.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS OR COMPANIES IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

No person who has been a director or executive officer of the Company at any time since the beginning of the last completed financial year of the Company, and no proposed nominee for election as a director of the Company, has a material interest in any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors has determined that nine directors will be elected to the Board of Directors at the Meeting.  The table below sets out the nine individuals nominated by the Board of Directors for election as directors at the Meeting.

Shareholders may also submit nominations for directors, however, only an individual nominated by Shareholders pursuant to specific requirements set out in the Articles of the Company (the “Articles”) shall be eligible for election as director.  At the Meeting any Shareholder nominations for director not made in accordance with the Articles will not be accepted.

The Articles require notice be provided to the Company in circumstances where nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors are made by Shareholders of the Company other than pursuant to: (i) a requisition of a meeting made pursuant to the provisions of the BCA; or (ii) a shareholder proposal made pursuant to the provisions of the BCA.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

General

National Instrument 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (“NI 58-101”) requires issuers to disclose their corporate governance practices and National Policy 58-201 – Corporate Governance Guidelines (“NP 58-201”) provides guidance on corporate governance practices.  This section sets out the Company’s approach to corporate governance and addresses the Company’s compliance with NI 58-101.

Corporate governance refers to the policies and structure of the board of directors of a company, whose members are elected by and are accountable to the Company’s shareholders.  Corporate

Page 20

governance encourages establishing a reasonable degree of independence of the board of directors from executive management and the adoption of policies to ensure the board of directors recognizes the principles of good management.  The Board of Directors is committed to sound corporate governance practices as such practices are both in the interests of shareholders and help to contribute to effective and efficient decision-making.

Board of Directors

Directors are considered to be independent if they have no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company.  A “material relationship” is a relationship which could, in the Board of Directors’ opinion, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director’s independent judgment.

The Board of Directors facilitates its independent supervision over management of the Company through frequent meetings of the Board of Directors at which members of management or non-independent directors are not in attendance and by retaining independent consultants where it deems necessary.

Management is delegated the responsibility for meeting defined corporate objectives, implementing approved strategic and operating plans, carrying on the Company’s business in the ordinary course, managing cash flow, evaluating new business opportunities, recruiting staff and complying with applicable regulatory requirements.  The Board of Directors facilitates its independent supervision over management by reviewing and approving long-term strategic, business and capital plans, material contracts and business transactions, and all debt and equity financing transactions.  Through its Audit Committee, the Board of Directors examines the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control processes and management information systems.  The Compensation Committee reviews executive compensation and recommends stock-based compensation awards.  Members of the Company’s Audit Committee are Luisa Ingargiola (Chair), Steven Sanders, Joanne Yan and David Shemmans.

The independent members of the Board of Directors are Ms. Ingargiola, Ms. Yan and Messrs. Shemmans, Richardson and Quigley. Messrs. Pavlov and Sanders are not independent as they are officers of the Company and Mr. Kroll is not independent as he is a significant security holder of the Company and was the former President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company until August 12, 2019.

The directors currently serving on the Board of Directors of other reporting corporations (or equivalent) are set out below:

Page 23

Governance

The N&CG Committee is responsible for: making recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding an appropriate organization and structure for the Board of Directors; evaluating the size, composition, membership qualifications, scope of authority, responsibilities, reporting obligations and charters of each committee of the Board of Directors; periodically reviewing and assessing the adequacy of the Company’s corporate governance principles as contained in the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter and, should it deem it appropriate, it may develop and recommend to the Board of Directors for adoption of additional corporate governance principles; periodically reviewing the Company’s Articles and Bylaws in light of existing corporate governance trends, and shall recommend any proposed changes for adoption by the Board of Directors or submission by the Board of Directors to the Company’s Shareholders; making recommendations on the structure and logistics of Board of Directors’ meetings and may recommend matters for consideration by the Board of Directors; considering, adopting and overseeing all processes for evaluating the performance of the Board of Directors, each committee and individual directors; and annually reviewing and assessing its own performance.

To further enhance corporate governance, on April 16, 2020, the Board of Directors adopted each of a new: (i) Audit Committee Charter; (ii) Compensation Committee Charter; (iii) Nominating and Corporate Governance Charter; (iv) Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; (v) Board Mandate; (vi) Corporate Disclosure Policy; (vii) Disclosure Controls and Procedures Policy; (viii) Clawback Policy; (ix) Drug and Alcohol Policy; (x) Diversity Policy; (xi) Anti-Hedging and Pledging Policy; and (xii) Securities Trading and Reporting Guidelines.  In addition, on January 29, 2021, February 10, 2021 and October 19, 2021, the Board of Directors also adopted each of a new: (i) Environmental and Climate Change Policy; (ii) Cybersecurity Policy; and (iii) Finance Committee Charter, respectively.  A copy of each of the foregoing charters or policies can be viewed on the Company’s website at https://investors.electrameccanica.com/governance-docs.

Compensation

As previously mentioned, on April 16, 2020, the Board of Directors adopted a new Compensation Committee Charter which complies with the requirements of NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(d)(1) and the Board of Directors has established a Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”).  The Compensation Committee is comprised of Luisa Ingargiola, Steven Sanders, Joanne Yan and David Shemmans (Chair).

The Compensation Committee determines compensation for the directors and officers of the Company, as well as the procedures for this determination, as are described under “Statement of Executive Compensation” herein.

Our Compensation Committee also reviews any “red flags” or issues that may arise out of the Compensation Committee compensation and award recommendations and report them to the Board of Directors. The Compensation Committee and the N&CG Committee, at times, may be collaborative but will not coordinate as the process is intended to be a “checks and balance” approach. It is set up as an internal control mechanism that would safeguard against fraud and errors due to omission.

Page 24

Each of the Compensation Committee members satisfies the “independence” requirements of Rule 5605(a)(2) of the Listing Rules of NASDAQ.  Our Compensation Committee will assist the Board of Directors in reviewing and approving the compensation structure, including all forms of compensation, relating to our directors and executive officers. No officer may be present at any committee meeting during which such officer’s compensation is deliberated upon. The Compensation Committee will be responsible for, among other things:

·approving and overseeing the total compensation package for our executives other than the most senior executive officers; 

·reviewing and recommending to the Board of Directors with respect to the compensation of our directors;

Our Board of Directors established a Compensation Committee in March 2018.  Prior to that, our Board of Directors acted as the Compensation Committee.

The Compensation Committee will consider a variety of factors when designing and establishing, reviewing and making recommendations for executive compensation arrangements for all our executive officers.  The Compensation Committee does not intend to position executive pay to reflect a single percentile within the industry for each executive. Rather, in determining the compensation level for each executive, the Compensation Committee will look at factors such as the relative complexity of the executive’s role within the organization, the executive’s performance and potential for future advancement and pay equity considerations.  These factors specific to the executive are compared against a Peer Group, that is established based on size, structure, operational scope and geography.

Elements of Compensation

The compensation paid to NEOs in any year to date consists of two primary components:

(a)base salary; and 

(b)long-term incentives in the form of stock options (each, an “Option”) and restricted stock units (each, an “RSU”) granted under our 2020 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2020 Stock Incentive Plan”). 

The key features of these two primary components of compensation are discussed below:

Base Salary

Base salary recognizes the value of an individual to our Company based on his or her role, skill, performance, contributions, leadership and potential.  It is critical in attracting and retaining executive talent in the markets in which the Company competes for talent.  Base salaries for the NEOs are intended to be reviewed annually.  Any change in base salary of a NEO is generally determined by an assessment of such executive’s performance, a consideration of competitive compensation levels in companies similar to the Company (in particular, companies in the electric vehicle industry and within the Company’s Board of Directors’ approved peer group) and a review of the performance of the Company as a whole and the role such executive officer played in such corporate performance.

Stock Option and RSU Awards

The Company provides long-term incentives to NEOs in the form of Options and RSUs as part of its overall executive compensation strategy.  Our Compensation Committee believes that Option grants and RSU awards serve the Company’s executive compensation philosophy in several ways:

Page 28

(i) firstly, it helps attract, retain, and motivate talent; (ii) secondly, it aligns the interests of the NEOs with those of the shareholders by linking a specific portion of the officer’s total pay opportunity to the share price; and (iii) finally, it provides long-term accountability for NEOs.

Risks Associated with Compensation Policies and Practices

The oversight and administration of the Company’s executive compensation program requires the Compensation Committee to consider risks associated with the Company’s compensation policies and practices.  Potential risks associated with compensation policies and compensation awards are considered at annual reviews and throughout the year whenever it is deemed necessary by the Compensation Committee.

The Company’s executive compensation policies and practices are intended to align management incentives with the long-term interests of the Company and its shareholders.  In each case, the Company seeks an appropriate balance of risk and reward.  Practices that are designed to avoid inappropriate or excessive risks include: (i) financial controls that provide limits and authorities in areas such as capital and operating expenditures to mitigate risk taking that could affect compensation; (ii) balancing base salary and variable compensation elements; (iii) spreading compensation across short and long-term programs; and (iv) the Company maintains the right to clawback an annual incentive award that may have been based on materially inaccurate financial statements or materially inaccurate performance criteria.

Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee consists of Luisa Ingargiola, Steven Sanders, Joanne Yan and David Shemmans (Chair).  Each of the Compensation Committee members satisfies the “independence” requirements of NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2).  Our Compensation Committee will assist the Board of Directors in reviewing and approving the compensation structure, including all forms of compensation, relating to our directors and executive officers.  No officer may be present at any committee meeting during which such officer’s compensation is deliberated upon.

The Compensation Committee’s responsibility is to formulate and make recommendations to our Board of Directors in respect of compensation issues relating to our directors and executive officers.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Compensation Committee has the following duties:

(a)to review the compensation philosophy and remuneration policy for our executive officers and to recommend to our Board of Directors changes to improve our ability to recruit, retain and motivate executive officers; 

(b)to review and recommend to the Board of Directors the retainer and fees, if any, to be paid to our directors; 

(c)to review and approve corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of the CEO, evaluate the CEO’s performance in light of those corporate goals and  

Page 29

objectives and determine (or make recommendations to our Board of Directors with respect to) the CEO’s compensation level based on such evaluation;

(d)to recommend to our Board of Directors with respect to non-CEO officer and director compensation, including reviewing management’s recommendations for proposed Options, RSUs and other incentive-compensation plans and equity-based plans, if any, for non-CEO officer and director compensation and make recommendations in respect thereof to our Board of Directors; 

(e)to administer the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan approved by our Board of Directors in accordance with its terms including the recommendation to our Board of Directors of the grant of Options and RSU awards in accordance with the terms thereof; and 

(f)to determine and recommend for the approval of our Board of Directors’ bonuses to be paid to our executive officers and employees and to establish targets or criteria for the payment of such bonuses, if appropriate.  Pursuant to the mandate and terms of reference of the Compensation Committee, meetings of the Compensation Committee are to take place at least once per year and at such other times as the Chair of the Compensation Committee may determine. 

Appointment of GGA

Since March of 2020, consistent with good governance practices, our Compensation Committee has now retained an independent compensation advisor to provide advice on the structure and levels of compensation for our executive officers and directors and to undertake a comprehensive review of our incentive plans.  In Fiscal 2021, the Compensation Committee retained Global Governance Advisors (“GGA”) to provide independent compensation advice to the Compensation Committee and to the Board of Directors.  GGA is an internationally recognized, independent advisory firm that provides counsel to boards of directors on matters relating to executive compensation and governance.  GGA is now retained to continually review the compensation levels for the Company’s executive officers and directors and short and long-term incentive plans, and to evaluate and make recommendations on the Company’s overall executive and director compensation philosophy, objectives and approach.

GGA’s services in Fiscal 2021 included:

·compensation philosophy validation; 

·peer group review and development; 

·executive compensation review for our CEO, CFO, COO and CAO; 

·analysis on CEO promotion equity grant; 

·short-term incentive plan design and performance metric criteria review; 

Page 30

·long-term incentive plan review, including performance based RSU design and long-term incentive plan mix evaluation; 

·non-employee director compensation review; 

·advisory board compensation review; and 

·review of compensation discussion and analysis in the Company’s proxy statement. 

Fees paid for GGA’s services for the last fiscal year were CAD$60,696.71.

The Compensation Committee reviews all fees and the terms of consulting services provided by GGA.

Overview of Executive Compensation Program

In Fiscal 2021, with the recommendations put forth by GGA (the “GGA Recommendations”), the Compensation Committee maintained the following general principles in determining its executive and non-employee director total compensation plans.

The Company recognizes that people are our primary asset and our principal source of competitive advantage.  In order to recruit, motivate and retain the most qualified individuals as senior executive officers, the Company strives to maintain an executive compensation program that is competitive in the automotive and electric car industry, which is a competitive, global labor market facing inflationary wage pressures broadly within the electric vehicle, automotive and technology sectors.

The Compensation Committee’s compensation objective is designed to attract and retain the best available talent while efficiently utilizing available resources.  The Compensation Committee compensates executive management primarily through base compensation and variable at risk annual incentive and equity-based compensation. The executive compensation plan is designed to be competitive with comparable companies, and to align management’s compensation with the long-term interests of stockholders.  In determining executive management’s compensation, the Compensation Committee also takes into consideration the financial condition of the Company and discussions with the executive in each instance.

In order to accomplish our goals and to ensure that the Company’s executive compensation program is consistent with its direction and business strategy, the compensation program for our senior executive officers is based on the following objectives:

·to attract, motivate, retain and reward a knowledgeable and driven management team and to encourage them to attain and exceed performance expectations within a calculated risk framework; and 

·to reward each executive based on individual and corporate performance and to incentivize such executives to drive the organization’s current growth and sustainability objectives. 

Page 31

The following key principles guide the Company’s overall compensation philosophy:

·compensation is designed to align executives to the critical business issues facing the Company; 

·compensation should be fair and reasonable to stockholders and be set with reference to the local market and similar positions of comparable companies; 

·a substantial portion of total compensation is at-risk and linked to individual efforts, as well as divisional and corporate performance.  This ensures the link between executive pay and business performance; 

·an appropriate portion of total compensation should be equity-based, aligning the interests of executives with stockholders; and 

·compensation should be transparent to the Board of Directors, executives and stockholders. 

Benchmarking Compensation and Primary Peer Group

In Fiscal 2021 the Compensation Committee commissioned a peer group review from GGA as part of a more holistic executive and non-employee director compensation review, in order to address changes in the external market and to ensure that the Company continued to benchmark executive compensation with appropriate market comparators.  The Compensation Committee considered the complexity of the Company and the range of size of several of the appropriate comparable companies and, with the GGA Recommendations provided to them, established a revised peer group to better reflect the Company’s current business. The peer group was developed using a combination of criteria including company size, industry, business practices, geography and stock exchange to qualify each organization. More specifically the peer group met some or most of the following parameters:

·companies generally similar in market cap with the majority falling within a range between 0.25x and 4x the size of ElectraMeccanica; 

·exceptions to market cap are related to competitive organizations within the electric vehicle sector 

·companies with comparable talent pools and executive talent similar to that valued by ElectraMeccanica; 

·companies within the same industry segment as ElectraMeccanica or companies that support the automotive and transportation sector; 

·companies with a competitive posture and similar business strategy and scope of operations to ElectraMeccanica; and 

Page 32

·publicly traded companies on major North American exchanges, with an emphasis of being traded on the major U.S. exchanges. 

During the first quarter of Fiscal 2022, the Compensation Committee worked with GGA in a comprehensive review of the 2021 Peer Group and this resulted in an enhanced automotive sector peer group.  The Fiscal 2022 peer group, with the GGA Recommendations became focused on a peer group representing the Electric Vehicles, Electric Vehicle Utilities and Automotive Parts sectors:

Electric Vehicles Sector Peers

Acrimoto Inc., AYRO Inc.; Bird Global Inc.; Canoo Inc.; Lucid Group Inc.; Nikola Corp.; and Workhorse Group Inc.

Electric Vehicle Utilities Peers

Blink Charing Co.; ChargePoint Holdings Inc.; and Romeo Power Inc.

Automotive Parts Peers

Horizon Global Corp.; Motorcar Parts of America Inc.; PowerFleet Inc.; Standard Motor Products Inc.; Strattec Security Corp.; Sypris Solutions Inc.; and XL Fleet Corp.

At the time of the 2022 peer group selection, the Company’s market cap was positioned at the 38^th percentile of the peer group, and the total assets were positioned at the 31^st percentile. Forecasted revenue was also used, which was positioned within the quartile range of the 2022 peer group.

The Fiscal 2021 Peer Group the compensation committed approved included:

AgJunction Inc., Airgain Inc.; AYRO Inc.; Bionano Genomics Inc.; blink Charing Co; Canoo Inc.; ChargePoint Holdings Inc.; Frequency Electronics Inc.; Horizon Global Corp; Lucid Motors Corp; Matrix Services Co; Nikola Corporation; Orion Energy Services; PowerFleet Inc.; ReWalk Robotics Ltd.; Workhorse Group Inc.; and XL Fleet   At the time of the peer group selection, the Company’s market cap was positioned at the 30^th percentile of the peer group, and the total assets were positioned at the 42^nd percentile.  In Fiscal 2021, with the GGA Recommendations, our compensation philosophy aimed to align both our executive and Board of Director compensation around the median of our peer group.

Compensation Elements and Rationale

There are three basic components to the Company’s executive compensation program: (i) base compensation; (ii) short-term incentive awards; and (iii) long-term incentive equity compensation. The Compensation Committee will continue to review the peer group annually to ensure that it remains relevant to the Company and the evolution of the electric motor vehicle industry.

Page 33

Base Compensation

Base compensation is the foundation of the compensation program and is intended to compensate competitively relative to comparable companies within our industry and the marketplace where we compete for talent.  Base compensation is a fixed component of the compensation program and is used as the base to determine elements of incentive compensation and benefits.

Short-Term Incentive Awards

Our short-term incentive plan (the “STIP”) is a variable component of compensation and has the objective of motivating the executive officers to achieve pre-determined objectives over a one-year period and to provide a means to reward the achievement of corporate milestones and fulfillment of the annual business plan.

Historically, the amount of the short-term incentive awards paid to the Company’s executive officers was determined by the Company’s Compensation Committee on a discretionary basis, given the Company’s stage of development and its transitional stage of growth, based on the expected benefits to the Company for meeting its performance targets, the Company’s available resources and market conditions.

As of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, with the GGA Recommendations, the Compensation Committee established guidelines for the amount of annual short-term incentive awards payable to the executives as a percentage of an executive’s base compensation for specific performance targets and levels achieved.  GGA recommended that the Board of Directors adopt a balanced scorecard that supports a payout curve ranging from 50% of target for threshold performance, 100% of target for target performance and a 120% of target for maximum performance to eligible executives.

In Fiscal 2021, the Compensation Committee approved the following guidelines for the opportunity of annual incentive awards to the executives, based on a selection of financial and operating performance criteria:

·in addition to the performance metrics used to evaluate the executive officer’s annual incentive, the payment of annual incentive awards shall be subject to a determination by the Board of Directors that the Company maintains sufficient cash on hand to meet the Company’s financial obligations as determined on the date of payment; and 

·annual incentive awards shall be subject to a provision for recovery or “clawback” if a payment is subsequently determined by the Board of Directors to have been based on materially inaccurate financial statements or materially inaccurate performance criteria. 

The Compensation Committee determined that it would continue evaluating and evolving the short-term incentive program design against best market practices as the Company experiences further growth.

Page 34

In Fiscal 2021, short-term incentive awards were paid to the executive officers for performance meeting or exceeding target performance levels in the form of cash bonuses as more particularly described in the “Summary Compensation Table” below.

Long-Term Incentive Equity Compensation

The Company’s long-term incentive program provides for, among other awards, the granting of Options and RSUs to executive officers to both motivate executive performance and retention, as well as to align executive officer performance to shareholder value creation.  In awarding long-term incentives, the Company compares its long-term incentive program to that of comparable companies within our industry and evaluates such factors as the number of shares available for awards under the Company’s 2020 Stock Incentive Plan, as ratified by the stockholders of the Company on July 9, 2020, and the number of awards outstanding relative to the number of shares outstanding.

Each long-term incentive grant is based on the level of the position held and overall market competitiveness.  The Compensation Committee takes into consideration previous grants when it considers new grants of Options and RSU awards.  The Board of Directors administers the granting of equity awards in accordance with the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan.

In Fiscal 2021, the Compensation Committee reviewed the market prevalence of long-term equity incentive plans within the Company’s primary peer group.  The Compensation Committee determined that granting Options and making RSU awards were the most appropriate form of long-term equity incentive to award in Fiscal 2021 due to market practice.

In Fiscal 2021, the Compensation Committee considered the advice of GGA and the recommendations issued by leading independent proxy advisors and determined that it would implement a performance based long-term incentive award structure based on best market practice to more closely align pay with future performance.

Option-Based Awards

2020 Stock Incentive Plan

Background and Purpose

On May 29, 2020, our Board of Directors adopted our 2020 Stock Incentive Plan, subject to, and effective upon, the approval of shareholders; which shareholder approval was obtained on July 9, 2020.  The 2020 Stock Incentive Plan provides flexibility to the Company to grant equity-based incentive awards (each, an “Award”) in the form of Options, RSUs, preferred stock units (“PSUs”) and deferred stock units (“DSUs”), as described in further detail below.  All future grants of equity-based Awards will be made pursuant to, or as otherwise permitted by, the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan, and no further equity-based awards will be made pursuant to the Company’s prior Stock Option Plan.  The 2020 Stock Incentive Plan supersedes and replaces the Company’s Stock Option Plan, dated as originally adopted by the Board of Directors on June 11, 2015, and ratified by the stockholders of the Company at the Company’s annual general meetings of shareholders held on each of May 24, 2018 and on June 24, 2019.

The purpose of the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan is to, among other things, provide the Company with a share-related mechanism to attract, retain and motivate qualified directors, employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries, to reward such of those directors, employees and consultants as may be granted awards under the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan by the Board of Directors from time to time for their contributions toward the long-term goals and success of the Company, and to enable and encourage such directors, employees and consultants to acquire Common Shares as long-term investments and proprietary interests in the Company.

A summary of the key terms of the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan is set out below, which is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to our registration statement on Form S-8 under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as filed with the SEC on October 5, 2020 and is incorporated by reference herein.

Key Terms of the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan

Shares Subject to the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan

The 2020 Stock Incentive Plan is a fixed number share plan which provides that the aggregate maximum number of Common Shares that may be issued upon the exercise or settlement of Awards granted under it shall not exceed 30,000,000 Common Shares, subject to the adjustment provisions provided for therein (including those that apply in the event of a subdivision or consolidation of Common Shares).  Such maximum number of Common Shares consisted of (i) 12,850,917 Common Shares issuable pursuant to Awards previously granted and that remain outstanding under the Company’s Stock Option Plan, which Awards will be covered by the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan upon its ratification by the shareholders, and (ii) 17,149,083 additional Common Shares that may be issued pursuant to Awards to be granted under the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan.

Page 36

Administration of the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan

The 2020 Stock Incentive Plan designates the Board of Directors as the initial Plan Administrator (as defined in the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan), subject to the ability of the Board of Directors to delegate from time to time all or any of the powers conferred on the Plan Administrator to a committee of the Board of Directors.  The Board of Directors has resolved to delegate all powers of administration of the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan to the Compensation Committee.

The Plan Administrator determines which directors, officers, consultants and employees are eligible to receive Awards under the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan, the time or times at which Awards may be granted, the conditions under which awards may be granted or forfeited to the Company, the number of Common Shares to be covered by any Award, the exercise price of any Award, whether restrictions or limitations are to be imposed on the Common Shares issuable pursuant to grants of any Award, and the nature of any such restrictions or limitations, any acceleration of exercisability or vesting, or waiver of termination regarding any Award, based on such factors as the Plan Administrator may determine.

In addition, the Plan Administrator interprets the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan and may adopt guidelines and other rules and regulations relating to the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan, and make all other determinations and take all other actions necessary or advisable for the implementation and administration of the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan.

Eligibility

All directors, employees and consultants are eligible to participate in the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan.  The extent to which any such individual is entitled to receive a grant of an Award pursuant to the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan will be determined in the sole and absolute discretion of the Plan Administrator.

Types of Awards

Awards of Options, RSUs, PSUs and DSUs may be made under the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan.  All of the Awards described below are subject to the conditions, limitations, restrictions, exercise price, vesting, settlement and forfeiture provisions determined by the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, subject to such limitations provided in the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan, and will generally be evidenced by an Award agreement.  In addition, subject to the limitations provided in the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan and in accordance with applicable law, the Plan Administrator may accelerate or defer the vesting or payment of Awards, cancel or modify outstanding Awards and waive any condition imposed with respect to Awards or Common Shares issued pursuant to Awards.

Options

An Option entitles a holder thereof to purchase a prescribed number of treasury Common Shares at an exercise price set at the time of the grant.  The Plan Administrator will establish the exercise price at the time each Option is granted, which exercise price must in all cases be not less than the

Page 37

volume weighted average closing price of the Common Shares on NASDAQ for the five trading days immediately preceding the date of grant (the “Market Price”) on the date of grant.  Subject to any accelerated termination as set forth in the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan, each Option expires on its respective expiry date.  The Plan Administrator will have the authority to determine the vesting terms applicable to grants of Options.  Once an Option becomes vested, it shall remain vested and shall be exercisable until expiration or termination of the Option, unless otherwise specified by the Plan Administrator, or as otherwise set forth in any written employment agreement, Award agreement or other written agreement between the Company or a subsidiary of the Company and the participant.  The Plan Administrator has the right to accelerate the date upon which any Option becomes exercisable.  The Plan Administrator may provide at the time of granting an Option that the exercise of that Option is subject to restrictions, in addition to those specified in the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan, such as vesting conditions relating to the attainment of specified performance goals.

Unless otherwise specified by the Plan Administrator at the time of granting an Option and set forth in the particular Award agreement, an exercise notice must be accompanied by payment of the exercise price.  A participant may, in lieu of exercising an Option pursuant to an exercise notice, elect to surrender such Option to the Company (a “Cashless Exercise”) in consideration for an amount from the Company equal to (i) the Market Price of the Common Shares issuable on the exercise of such Option (or portion thereof) as of the date such Option (or portion thereof) is exercised, less (ü) the aggregate exercise price of the Option (or portion thereof) surrendered relating to such Common Shares (the “In-the-Money Amount”) by written notice to the Company indicating the number of Options such participant wishes to exercise using the Cashless Exercise, and such other information that the Company may require.  Subject to the provisions of the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan, the Company will satisfy payment of the In-the-Money Amount by delivering to the participant such number of Common Shares having a fair market value equal to the In-the-Money Amount.

Restricted Share Units

A RSU is a unit equivalent in value to a Common Share credited by means of a bookkeeping entry in the books of the Company which entitles the holder to receive one Common Share (or the value thereof) for each RSU after a specified vesting period.  The Plan Administrator may, from time to time, subject to the provisions of the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan and such other terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator may prescribe, grant RSUs to any participant in respect of a bonus or similar payment in respect of services rendered by the applicable participant in a taxation year.

The number of RSUs (including fractional RSUs) granted at any particular time under the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan will be calculated by dividing: (a) the amount that is to be paid in RSUs, as determined by the Plan Administrator; by (b) the greater of (i) the Market Price of a Common Share on the date of grant and (ii) such amount as determined by the Plan Administrator in its sole discretion.

The Plan Administrator shall have the authority to determine the settlement and any vesting terms applicable to the grant of RSUs, provided that the terms applicable to RSUs granted to U.S.

Page 38

taxpayers comply with Section 409A of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), to the extent applicable.

Upon settlement, holders will redeem each vested RSU for one fully paid and non-assessable Common Share in respect of each vested RSU.

Performance Share Units

A PSU is a unit equivalent in value to a Common Share credited by means of a bookkeeping entry in the books of the Company which entitles the holder to receive one Common Share for each PSU after specific performance-based vesting criteria determined by the Plan Administrator, in its sole discretion, have been satisfied.  The Plan Administrator may, from time to time, subject to the provisions of the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan and such other terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator may prescribe, grant PSUs to any participant in respect of services rendered by the applicable participant in a taxation year.  The performance goals to be achieved during any performance period, the length of any performance period, the amount of any PSUs granted, the effect of termination of a participant’s service and the settlement terms pursuant to any PSU will be determined by the Plan Administrator and by the other terms and conditions of any PSU, all as set forth in the applicable Award agreement.

The Plan Administrator shall have the authority to determine the settlement and any vesting terms applicable to the grant of PSUs, provided that the terms applicable to PSUs granted to U.S. taxpayers comply with Section 409A of the Code, to the extent applicable.  Upon settlement, holders will redeem each vested PSU for one fully paid and non-assessable Common Share in respect of each vested PSU.

Deferred Share Units

A DSU is a unit equivalent in value to a Common Share credited by means of a bookkeeping entry in the books of the Company which entitles the holder to receive one Common Share (or, at the election of the holder and subject to the approval of the Plan Administrator, the cash value thereof) for each DSU on a future date.  The Board of Directors may fix from time to time a portion of the total compensation (including annual retainer) paid by the Company to a director in a calendar year for service on the Board of Directors (the “Director Fees”) that are to be payable in the form of DSUs.  In addition, each director is given, subject to the provisions of the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan, the right to elect to receive a portion of the cash Director Fees owing to them in the form of DSUs.

Except as otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator or as set forth in the particular Award agreement, DSUs shall vest immediately upon grant.  The number of DSUs (including fractional DSUs) granted at any particular time will be calculated by dividing: (a) the amount of Director Fees that are to be paid in DSUs, as determined by the Plan Administrator; by (b) the Market Price of a Common Share on the date of grant.  Upon settlement, holders will redeem each vested DSU for: (a) one fully paid and non-assessable Common Share issued from treasury in respect of each vested DSU, or (b) at the election of the holder and subject to the approval of the Plan Administrator, a cash payment on the date of settlement.  Any cash payments made under the 2020

Page 39

Stock Incentive Plan by the Company to a participant in respect of DSUs to be redeemed for cash shall be calculated by multiplying the number of DSUs to be redeemed for cash by the Market Price per Common Share as at the settlement date.

Dividend Equivalents

Except as otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator or as set forth in the particular Award agreement, RSUs, PSUs and DSUs shall be credited with dividend equivalents in the form of additional RSUs, PSUs and DSUs, as applicable, as of each dividend payment date in respect of which normal cash dividends are paid on Common Shares.  Dividend equivalents shall vest in proportion to, and settle in the same manner as, the Awards to which they relate.  Such dividend equivalents shall be computed by dividing: (a) the amount obtained by multiplying the amount of the dividend declared and paid per Common Share by the number of RSUs, PSUs and DSUs, as applicable, held by the participant on the record date for the payment of such dividend; by (b) the Market Price at the close of the first business day immediately following the dividend record date, with fractions computed to three decimal places.

Black-out Periods

In the event an Award expires, at a time when a scheduled blackout is in place or an undisclosed material change or material fact in the affairs of the Company exists, the expiry of such Award will be the date that is ten business days after which such scheduled blackout terminates or there is no longer such undisclosed material change or material fact.

Term

While the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan does not stipulate a specific term for Awards granted thereunder, as discussed below, Awards may not expire beyond 10 years from its date of grant, except where shareholder approval is received or where an expiry date would have fallen within a blackout period of the Company.  All Awards must vest and settle in accordance with the provisions of the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan and any applicable Award agreement, and which Award agreement may include an expiry date for a specific Award.

Termination of Employment or Services

The following describes the impact of certain events upon the participants under the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan, including termination for cause, resignation, termination without cause, disability, death or retirement, subject, in each case, to the terms of a participant’s applicable employment agreement, Award agreement or other written agreement:

(a)Termination for Cause or upon Termination:  Any Option or other Award held by the participant that has not been exercised, surrendered or settled as of the Termination Date (as defined in the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan) shall be immediately forfeited and cancelled as of the Termination Date. 

Page 40

(b)Termination without Cause:  A portion of any unvested Options or other Awards shall immediately vest, such portion to be equal to the number of unvested Options or other Awards held by the participant as of the Termination Date multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days between the date of grant and the Termination Date and the denominator of which is the number of days between the date of grant and the date any unvested Options or other Awards were originally scheduled to vest.  Any vested Options may be exercised by the participant at any time during the period that terminates on the earlier of: (a) the expiry date of such Option; and (b) the date that is 90 days after the Termination Date.  If an Option remains unexercised upon the earlier of (a) or (b), the Option shall be immediately forfeited and cancelled for no consideration upon the termination of such period.  In the case of a vested Award other than an Option, such Award will be settled within 90 days after the Termination Date. 

(c)Disability:  A portion of any unvested Options or other Awards shall immediately vest, such portion to be equal to the number of unvested Options or other Awards held by the participant as of the Termination Date multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days between the date of grant and the Termination Date and the denominator of which is the number of days between the date of grant and the date any unvested Options or other Awards were originally scheduled to vest.  Any vested Option may be exercised by the Participant at any time until the Expiry Date of such Option.  Any vested Option may be exercised by the participant at any time until the expiry date of such Option.  Any vested Award other than an Option will be settled within 90 days after the Termination Date. 

(d)Death:  A portion of any unvested Options or other Awards shall immediately vest, such portion to be equal to the number of unvested Options or other Awards held by the participant as of the Termination Date multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days between the date of grant and the Termination Date and the denominator of which is the number of days between the date of grant and the date any unvested Options or other Awards were originally scheduled to vest.  Any vested Option may be exercised by the participant’s beneficiary or legal representative (as applicable) at any time during the period that terminates on the earlier of: (a) the expiry date of such Option; and (b) the first anniversary of the date of the death of such participant.  If an Option remains unexercised upon the earlier of (a) or (b), the Option shall be immediately forfeited and cancelled for no consideration upon the termination of such period.  In the case of a vested Award other than an Option, such Award will be settled with the participant’s beneficiary or legal representative (as applicable) within 90 days after the date of the Participant’s death. 

(e)Retirement:  A portion of any unvested Options or other Awards shall immediately vest, such portion to be equal to the number of unvested Options or other Awards held by the participant as of the Termination Date multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days between the date of grant and the Termination Date and the denominator of which is the number of days between the

date of grant and the date any unvested Options or other Awards were originally scheduled to vest.  Any vested Option may be exercised by the participant at any time during the period that terminates on the earlier of: (a) the expiry date of such Option; and (b) the third anniversary of the participant’s date of retirement.  If an Option remains unexercised upon the earlier of (a) or (b), the Option shall be immediately forfeited and cancelled for no consideration upon the termination of such period.  In the case of a vested Award other than an Option, such Award will be settled within 90 days after the participant’s retirement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, following his or her retirement, the participant commences on the Commencement Date (as defined in the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan) employment, consulting or acting as a director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries (or in an analogous capacity) or otherwise as a service provider to any person that carries on or proposes to carry on a business competitive with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, any Option or other Award held by the participant that has not been exercised or settled as of the Commencement Date shall be immediately forfeited and cancelled as of the Commencement Date.

Change in Control

Under the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan, except as may be set forth in an employment agreement, Award agreement or other written agreement between the Company or a subsidiary of the Company and a participant:

(a)the Plan Administrator may, without the consent of any participant, take such steps as it deems necessary or desirable, including to cause: (i) the conversion or exchange of any outstanding Awards into or for rights or other securities of substantially equivalent value, as determined by the Plan Administrator in its discretion, in any entity participating in or resulting from a Change in Control (as defined below); (ii) outstanding Awards to vest and become exercisable, realizable or payable, or restrictions applicable to an Award to lapse, in whole or in part prior to or upon consummation of a Change in Control, and, to the extent the Plan Administrator determines, terminate upon or immediately prior to the effectiveness of such Change in Control; (iii) the termination of an Award in exchange for an amount of cash and/or property, if any, equal to the amount that would have been attained upon the exercise or settlement of such Award or realization of the participant’s rights as of the date of the occurrence of the transaction; (iv) the replacement of such Award with other rights or property selected by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion where such replacement would not adversely affect the holder; or (v) any combination of the foregoing; provided that: (A) in taking any of the foregoing actions), the Plan Administrator will not be required to treat all Awards similarly in the transaction; and (B) in the case of Options, RSUs and PSUs held by a Canadian taxpayer, the Plan Administrator may not cause the Canadian taxpayer to receive any property in connection with a Change in Control other than rights to acquire shares of a corporation or units of a “mutual fund trust” (as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada)(the “Tax Act”) of the Company or a “qualifying person” (as defined in the Tax Act) that does not deal at arm’s length  

Page 42

(for purposes of the Tax Act) with the Company, as applicable, at the time such rights are issued or granted;

(b)if within 12 months following the completion of a transaction resulting in a Change in Control (as defined below), a participant’s employment, consultancy or directorship is terminated by the Company or a subsidiary of the Company without Cause (as defined in the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan), without any action by the Plan Administrator: 

(i)any unvested Awards held by the participant at the Termination Date shall immediately vest; and 

(ii)any vested Awards may be exercised, surrendered to the Company, or settled by the participant at any time during the period that terminates on the earlier of: (i) the expiry date of such Award; and (ii) the date that is 90 days after the Termination Date.  Any Award that has not been exercised, surrendered or settled at the end of such period being immediately forfeited and cancelled; and 

(c)unless otherwise determined by the Plan Administrator, if, as a result of a Change in Control, the Common Shares will cease trading on NASDAQ, the Company may terminate all of the Awards (other than an Option, RSU or PSU held by a participant that is a resident of Canada for the purposes of the Tax Act) at the time of and subject to the completion of the Change in Control transaction by paying to each holder at or within a reasonable period of time following completion of such Change in Control transaction an amount for each Award equal to the fair market value of the Award held by such participant as determined by the Plan Administrator, acting reasonably, provided that any vested Awards granted to U.S. taxpayers will be settled within 90 days of the Change in Control. 

Subject to certain exceptions, a “Change in Control” includes: (i) any transaction pursuant to which a person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding Common Shares; (ii) the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; (iii) the dissolution or liquidation of the Company; (iv)  the acquisition of the Company via consolidation, merger, exchange of securities, purchase of assets, amalgamation, statutory arrangement or otherwise; (v) individuals who comprise the Board of Directors at the last annual meeting of shareholders (the “Incumbent Board”) cease to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors, unless the election, or nomination for election by the shareholders, of any new director was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the Incumbent Board, in which case such new director shall be considered as a member of the Incumbent Board; or (vi) any other event which the Board of Directors determines to constitute a change in control of the Company.

Non-Transferability of Awards

Except as permitted by the Plan Administrator and to the extent that certain rights may pass to a beneficiary or legal representative upon death of a participant, by will or as required by law, no

Page 43

assignment or transfer of Awards, whether voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, vests any interest or right in such Awards whatsoever in any assignee or transferee and immediately upon any assignment or transfer, or any attempt to make the same, such Awards will terminate and be of no further force or effect.  To the extent that certain rights to exercise any portion of an outstanding Award pass to a beneficiary or legal representative upon the death of a participant, the period in which such Award can be exercised by such beneficiary or legal representative shall not exceed one year from the participant’s death.

Amendments to the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan

The Plan Administrator may also from time to time, without notice and without approval of the holders of voting Common Shares, amend, modify, change, suspend or terminate the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan or any Awards granted pursuant thereto as it, in its discretion, determines appropriate, provided that: (a) no such amendment, modification, change, suspension or termination of the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan or any Award granted pursuant thereto may materially impair any rights of a participant or materially increase any obligations of a participant under the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan without the consent of such participant, unless the Plan Administrator determines such adjustment is required or desirable in order to comply with any applicable securities laws or stock exchange requirements; and (b) any amendment that would cause an Award held by a U.S. Taxpayer to be subject to the income inclusion under Section 409A of the Code shall be null and void ab initio.

Notwithstanding the above, and subject to the NASDAQ Listing Rules, the approval of shareholders is required to effect any of the following amendments to the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan:

(b)reducing the exercise price of an option Award (for this purpose, a cancellation or termination of an Award of a participant prior to its expiry date for the purpose of reissuing an Award to the same participant with a lower exercise price shall be treated as an amendment to reduce the exercise price of an Award) except pursuant to the provisions in the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan which permit the Plan Administrator to make equitable adjustments in the event of transactions affecting the Company or its capital; 

(c)extending the term of an Option Award beyond the original expiry date (except where an expiry date would have fallen within a blackout period applicable to the participant or within ten business days following the expiry of such a blackout period); 

(d)permitting an Option Award to be exercisable beyond ten years from its date of grant (except where an expiry date would have fallen within a blackout period); 

Page 44

(e)increasing or removing the limits on the participation of directors; 

(f)permitting Awards to be transferred to a person; 

(g)changing the eligible participants; and 

(h)deleting or reducing the range of amendments which require approval of the shareholders. 

Except for the items listed above, amendments to the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan will not require shareholder approval.  Such amendments include (but are not limited to): (a) amending the general vesting provisions of an Award; (b) amending the provisions for early termination of Awards in connection with a termination of employment or service; (c) adding covenants of the Company for the protection of the participants; (d) amendments that are desirable as a result of changes in law in any jurisdiction where a participant resides; and (e) curing or correcting any ambiguity or defect or inconsistent provision or clerical omission or mistake or manifest error.

Director Compensation

The Company’s non-employee directors are eligible to receive an annual retainer that is awarded in cash and equity.  During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, the equity portion was awarded in stock Options and DSUs.  As previously stated, GGA reviewed the Board of Director’s compensation against the Company’s peer group and provided recommendations to align the retainers with the competitive range of the peer group.

The annual cash retainer is an annual fixed board retainer paid to the non-employee directors and it establishes the competitive foundation of the director compensation program.

The equity retainer grant may be in the form of stock Options, RSUs or DSUs as determined by the Board of Directors.  The purpose of the equity retainer is to retain and motivate high quality performance of directors whose judgment, initiative and effort is largely depended on by the Company for successful conduct of its business.

Committee chairs are also eligible to receive an additional cash retainer in recognition of the time and efforts it takes each non-employee director for participating in the committee chair duties.
