**Item 5.02 — Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers**

(e) Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On January 9, 2026, the Board of Directors of Rainmaker Worldwide Inc. (the "Company") adopted the Company's 2026 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan provides for the grant of stock options and other equity-based awards to officers, senior executives, directors, and future officers, senior executives, and directors of the Company. The maximum number of shares authorized for issuance under the Plan is equal to ten percent (10%) of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares, calculated on a fully diluted basis.

On January 12, 2026, pursuant to the Plan, the Company granted non-qualified stock options ("NSOs") to two entities affiliated with an executive officer and a senior executive of the Company, and to a director of the Company, as follows:

● Larchwood Management Partners Inc., an entity affiliated with Michael O'Connor, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman, was granted options to purchase 3,330,332 shares of common stock.

● 2752128 Ontario Ltd., an entity affiliated with Kelly White, the Company's Vice President, Finance, was granted options to purchase 3,330,332 shares of common stock.

● James Ross, a director of the Company, was granted options to purchase 1,924,192 shares of common stock.

All such options have an exercise price of $0.0209 per share, equal to the closing price of the Company's common stock on the OTC Market on the grant date. The options vest in equal monthly installments over a period of twenty-four (24) months, have a five-year term, and may be exercised by cash payment or by net exercise. Upon termination of service for reasons other than cause, vested options generally remain exercisable for a period of six (6) months following termination.

With respect to the options granted to executive officers, the options provide for accelerated vesting upon a double-trigger change-in-control event, consisting of a change of control of the Company followed by a qualifying termination of service. Any acceleration of vesting in connection with a change of control for director awards is subject to the approval of the Company's Board of Directors.

The foregoing descriptions of the Plan and the option awards are summaries and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Plan.
