 to confirm ethical behaviors of the Company and its employees, monitors compliance with applicable laws and legislation, and satisfy itself as to the integrity of the executive officers; and with assistance from the Nominating and Governance Committee, assess the performance of the Board, its committees, and each director.

#### Position Descriptions
The Board has adopted a written position description for the Chairman, which is set out in the Board Mandate available on the Company’s website at www.sphere3d.com. The Chairman is principally responsible for overseeing the operations and affairs of the Board. The Board has not developed written position descriptions for the Chief Executive Officer or the Chair of each Board committee. The Board committees each have a written charter which orients the conduct of the Chair of each committee. See “Corporate Governance - Board Committees.” Each such charter is available on the Company’s website at www.sphere3d.com. The Chief Executive Officer’s role and responsibilities are set forth in the Chief Executive Officer’s employment agreement, and annual performance metrics and goals are established and approved by the Board and the Compensation Committee.

#### Orientation and Continuing Education
The Board has not adopted a formal policy on the orientation and continuing education of new and current directors. When a new director is appointed, the Board delegates individual directors the responsibility for providing an orientation and education program for such new director. This may be delivered through informal meetings between the new directors and the Board and senior management, complemented by presentations on the main areas of the Company’s business, and on the role of the Board, of the Board’s committees and of directors. When required, the Board may arrange for topical seminars to be provided to members of the Board or committees of the Board. Such seminars may be provided by one or more members of the Board and management or by external professionals.

This Code is intended to comply with applicable securities legislation and stock exchange rules. Specifically, the purpose of this Code is (i) to encourage among the Company’s representatives a culture of honesty, accountability, and mutual respect; (ii) to provide guidance to help the Company’s representatives recognize ethical issues; and (iii) to provide mechanisms to support the resolution of ethical issues.

The Board also monitors compliance by requiring directors and officers to declare any conflicts
