isms of Board Renewal

Our Board has not adopted director term limits, a retirement policy for its directors or other automatic mechanisms of board renewal. Our Board will hold office for a one year term and, unless re-elected, will retire from office at the end of the next annual meeting of the shareholders of Medicus.

Director Independence

Our Board has determined that seven members of our Board are "independent," as defined under the Nasdaq rules and for purposes of Canadian securities laws and therefore, a majority of the directors on our Board are independent. Dr. Bokhari is not considered independent by virtue of his management position.

For purposes of the Nasdaq rules, an independent director means a person other than an executive officer or employee of the company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of our Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director, subject to certain additional limitations. A director is considered to be independent for the purposes of Canadian securities laws if the director has no direct or indirect material relationship to the company. A material relationship is a relationship that could, in the view of the Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director's independent judgment. Certain individuals, such as our employees and executive officers, are deemed by Canadian securities laws to have material relationships with us.

We will take steps to ensure that adequate structures and processes will be in place following the consummation of this offering to permit our Board to function independently of management, including for purposes of encouraging an objective process for nominating directors and determining executive compensation.

Meetings of Directors

Our Board holds regularly scheduled meetings as well as ad hoc meetings from time to time. The independent members of our Board will also meet, as required, without the non-independent directors and members of management before or after each regularly scheduled board meeting. In 2024, there were a total of three meetings of the board of directors.
