**INTELGENX TECHNOLOGIES CORP.**

6420 Abrams<br>Ville St-Laurent, Quebec H4S 1Y2

**PROXY STATEMENT**<br>**2023 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS**

**May 9, 2023**

**INTRODUCTION**

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors (the "**Board**") of IntelGenx Technologies Corp. (the "**Company**") for use at the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held virtually on Tuesday, May 9, 2023, and at any adjournment thereof (the "**Meeting**"). Further, solicitation of proxies may be made personally, by post or by telephone by regularly employed officers (each an "**Officer**" and collectively, the "**Officers**") and other employees of the Company, who will receive no additional compensation for such solicitation.

Only shareholders of record (each a "**Shareholder**" and collectively, the "**Shareholders**") at the close of business on March 13, 2023 (the "**Record Date**") are entitled to vote at the Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were 174,646,197 issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock (the "**Common Stock**"). Each outstanding share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on all matters properly coming before the Meeting. All properly executed, unrevoked proxies on the enclosed form of proxy that are received in time will be voted in accordance with such Shareholder's instructions and, unless contrary directions are given, will be voted "FOR" each of the three proposals described herein (each a "**Proposal**" and collectively the "**Proposals**"). Anyone giving a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by giving the Board written notice of the revocation, by submitting a proxy bearing a later date or by attending and voting at the virtual Meeting.

If a Shareholder attends and votes at the virtual meeting, they will be considered to have attended and voted "in person." The presence in person at the virtual meeting or by properly executed proxy of holders representing one third of the issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock entitled to vote is necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting. Assuming a quorum is present at the Meeting, and the approval of directors of the Board (each a "**Director**" and collectively, the "**Directors**"), Proposals 1 through 3 presented herein require the approval of a majority of the votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote and present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting. A majority of votes cast means that the number of votes cast "***FOR***" a matter exceeds the number of votes cast "***AGAINST***" that matter. Votes cast by proxy or in person at the virtual Meeting will be tabulated by our transfer agent, Pacific Stock Transfer Company, which will act as inspector of elections and which will determine whether or not a quorum is present. Shares of Common Stock represented by proxies that are marked "abstain" will be included in the determination of the number of shares present and voting for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business. Abstentions are not counted as voted either "for" or "against" Proposals 1, 2 and 3 in tabulations of the votes cast on these proposals.

**The Board has adopted and approved each of the Proposals set forth herein and recommends that the Company's Shareholders vote "FOR" Proposals 1, 2 and 3.**

Copies of the Company's Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the "**2022 Fiscal Year**"), including the audited financial statements set forth therein, which is incorporated by reference into this Proxy Statement and made a part hereof, are being made electronically available to all Shareholders of record at the close of business on March 13, 2023.

This Proxy Statement, the accompanying Notice of Meeting and the form of proxy have been first sent to the Shareholders on or about March 29, 2023.

**The date of this Proxy Statement is March 29, 2023** 

------

**INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE VIRTUAL MEETING**

The Meeting will be in a completely virtual format and will be conducted by way of a live audio webcast through the Virtual Platform. There will be no physical Meeting location.

**How to Attend**

You are entitled to attend and participate in the Meeting if you were a shareholder as of the close of business on March 13, 2023, the record date, or hold a valid proxy for the meeting. In order to attend the Meeting, you must register in advance at <u>https://register.proxypush.com/IGXT</u> prior to the deadline of May 5, 2023 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Upon completing your registration, you will receive further instructions via email, including your unique links that will allow you access to the Meeting and will permit you to submit questions at the time of registration. The meeting webcast will begin promptly at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time. Online check-in will begin approximately 15 minutes before then and we encourage you to allow ample time for check-in procedures.

If you hold your shares of Common Stock as a record holder (that is, your shares are in your name), you can register to attend the Meeting at <u>https://register.proxypush.com/IGXT</u> by using the control number found on your proxy card. If you hold your shares in "street name" (that is, your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee), you will receive a control number from your broker, bank or other nominee which you can use to register at <u>https://register.proxypush.com/IGXT</u>. In either case, once you have registered to attend, you will receive further instructions via email, including your unique links that will allow you access to the Meeting and will permit you to submit questions at the time of registration. If you hold your shares of Common Stock as a record holder, you will be able to vote your shares at the Meeting provided you register in a timely basis. However, if you hold your shares in "street name," in order to vote your shares at the meeting you will need to follow the procedures set forth in the section below "Voting at the Meeting."

**Voting at the Meeting**

To vote at the Meeting, you must register in advance at <u>https://register.proxypush.com/IGXT</u> prior to the deadline of May 5, 2023 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Upon completing your registration, you will receive further instructions via email, including your unique links that will allow you access to the Meeting. If you are a shareholder of record, you can vote at the virtual Meeting by accessing the meeting website and entering the control number found on your proxy card and following the instructions on the website for voting at the Meeting.

If your shares are registered in the name of your broker, bank or other agent, you are the "beneficial owner" of those shares and those shares are considered as held in "street name." If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank or other agent, in order to vote in person at the virtual Meeting, you must, in addition to registering in advance at <u>https://register.proxypush.com/IGXT</u>, obtain a valid legal proxy from your broker, bank or other agent and then register to vote at the Meeting. Follow the instructions from your broker or bank included with these proxy materials, or contact your broker or bank, to request a legal proxy form. After obtaining a valid legal proxy from your broker, bank or other agent, to then register to vote at the Meeting, you must submit proof of your legal proxy reflecting the number of your shares along with your name and email address to alamb@PacificStockTransfer.com. You may also mail or fax proof of your legal proxy to:

Pacific Stock Transfer Company<br>Attn: Angela L. Lamb<br>6725 Via Austi Parkway, Suite 300<br>Las Vegas, NV 89119<br>Fax: 702-433-1979

Requests for registration must be labeled as "Legal Proxy" and be received no later than May 5, 2023. You will receive a confirmation of your registration by email after we receive your registration materials, including instructions for voting at the Meeting.

------

**QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MEETING AND VOTING**

1. WHY AM I RECEIVING THESE MATERIALS?

We have made this Proxy Statement and Proxy Card available to you on the internet or, upon your request, have delivered printed proxy materials to you, because the Board of Directors is soliciting your proxy to vote at the Meeting, including any adjournments or postponements thereof. You are invited to attend the Meeting online; however, you are not required to attend the Meeting in order to vote your shares. Instead, you may simply complete, sign and return the Proxy Card, or follow the instructions below to submit your proxy over the telephone or on the internet.

This Proxy Statement, the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, the Notice of Annual Meeting and accompanying Proxy Card were first made available for access by our stockholders on or about March 29, 2023 to all stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Meeting.

2. WHAT IS A PROXY?

It is your legal designation of another person to vote the Common Stock that you own. That other person is called a "proxy." If you designate someone as your proxy in a written document, that document is also called a "proxy" or a "proxy card." Each of Dr. Horst G. Zerbe, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and Andre Godin, President and Chief Financial Officer, has been designated as a proxy for the Meeting.

3. WHAT IS THE RECORD DATE AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

The record date for the Meeting is March 13, 2023. The record date is established by the Company as required by the Delaware General Corporation Law and our Bylaws. Shareholders (registered shareholders and street name holders) at the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) receive notice of the Meeting; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) vote at the Meeting and any adjournments or postponements of the Meeting.

4. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A REGISTERED SHAREHOLDER AND A SHAREHOLDER WHO HOLDS STOCK IN STREET NAME?

If your shares of Common Stock are registered in your name on the books and records of our transfer agent, you are a registered Shareholder.

If your shares of Common Stock are held for you in the name of your broker or bank, your shares are held in street name. The answer to Question 16 below describes brokers' discretionary voting authority and when your bank or broker is permitted to vote your shares of Common Stock without instructions from you.

5. WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT METHODS THAT I CAN USE TO VOTE MY SHARES OF COMMON STOCK?

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Vote by Internet:

All Shareholders can vote by Internet as instructed on the proxy card.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In Writing:

All Shareholders can vote by mailing in their completed proxy card (in the case of registered shareholders) or their completed vote instruction form (in the case of street name holders).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) At the virtual Meeting:

All Shareholders may vote online at the virtual Meeting (unless they are street name holders without a legal proxy).

6. HOW CAN I REVOKE A PROXY?

You can revoke a proxy prior to the completion of voting at the Meeting by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) giving written notice to our Corporate Secretary;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) delivering a later-dated proxy; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) voting at the virtual Meeting.

------

7. WHAT ARE THE VOTING CHOICES WHEN VOTING ON DIRECTOR NOMINEES, AND WHAT VOTE IS REQUIRED TO ELECT DIRECTORS?

When voting on the election of director nominees to serve until the 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, Shareholders may:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) vote "FOR" a specific nominee;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) vote "AGAINST" a specific nominee; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) "ABSTAIN" from voting as to a specific nominee.

In accordance with our Bylaws and the Delaware General Corporation Law, directors will be elected if a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting are "***FOR***" a nominee's election at the Meeting; provided, however, that, if the number of nominees for director exceeds the number of directors to be elected, directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares of Common Stock represented in person or by proxy at any meeting of shareholders held to elect directors and entitled to vote on such election of directors. A majority of votes cast means that the number of votes cast "***FOR***" a director's election exceeds the number of votes cast "***AGAINST***" that director's election (with abstentions and broker non-votes not counted as a vote cast either "***FOR***" or "***AGAINST***" that director's election). Our Board recommends a vote "***FOR***" all of the nominees.

8. WHAT ARE THE VOTING CHOICES WHEN VOTING ON THE RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF RICHTER LLP, AND WHAT VOTE IS REQUIRED TO RATIFY ITS SELECTION?

When voting on the ratification of the selection of Richter LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, Shareholders may:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) vote "FOR" the ratification;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) vote "AGAINST" the ratification; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) "ABSTAIN" from voting on the ratification.

The selection of Richter LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm will be ratified if a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting are "***FOR***" the proposal. Our Board recommends a vote "***FOR***" this proposal.

9. WHAT ARE THE VOTING CHOICES WHEN VOTING TO APPROVE THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS ON AN ADVISORY, NON-BINDING BASIS, AND WHAT VOTE IS REQUIRED TO APPROVE THIS PROPOSAL?

When voting to approve the compensation of our named executive officers on an advisory, non-binding basis, Shareholders may:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) vote "FOR" the approval of named executive officer compensation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) vote "AGAINST" the approval of named executive officer compensation; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) "ABSTAIN" from voting on the approval of named executive officer compensation.

The compensation for our named executive officers will be approved, on an advisory, non-binding basis, if a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting are "***FOR***" the proposal. Our Board recommends a vote "***FOR***" this proposal.

10. WHO IS ENTITLED TO VOTE?

You may vote if you owned stock as of the close of business on March 13, 2023. Each share of our Common Stock is entitled to one (1) vote.

11. WHAT DOES IT MEAN IF I RECEIVE MORE THAN ONE PROXY CARD?

It means that your shares are registered differently or that you have multiple accounts with brokers or our transfer agent. Please vote all of these shares. We recommend that you contact your broker or our transfer agent to consolidate as many accounts as possible under the same name and address. Our transfer agent for the Proxy Service is Pacific Stock Transfer Company, 6725 Via Austi Parkway, Suite 300, Las Vegas, NV 89119, Tel. 702-361-3033.

12. WILL MY SHARES BE VOTED IF I DO NOT PROVIDE MY PROXY?

------

If your shares are registered in your name, they will not be voted unless you submit your proxy card, or vote in person at the Meeting. If your shares are held in street name, see "What is a Broker Non-Vote?" below regarding the ability of banks, brokerage firms or other such holders of record to vote the uninstructed shares of their customers or other beneficial owners in their discretion, under some circumstances.

13. WHAT IF A SHAREHOLDER DOES NOT SPECIFY A CHOICE FOR A MATTER WHEN RETURNING A PROXY?

Shareholders should specify their choice for each matter on the enclosed proxy. If no specific instructions are given, proxies which are signed and returned or submitted by e-mail will be voted "***FOR***" the election of all director nominees, "***FOR***" the proposal to ratify the selection of Richter LLP and "***FOR***" the compensation of named executive officers.

14. WHAT IS A BROKER NON-VOTE?

If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, you should instruct the organization which holds your shares how to vote your shares. If you do not provide the organization that holds your shares with specific voting instructions then, under applicable rules, the organization that holds your shares may generally vote on "routine" matters but cannot vote on "non-routine" matters. If the organization that holds your shares does not receive instructions from you on how to vote your shares on a non-routine matter, that organization will not have the authority to vote on this matter with respect to your shares. This is generally referred to as a "broker non-vote."

At the Meeting, the election of directors and the advisory vote on executive compensation are "non-routine" matters and the ratification of the auditors is a "routine" matter. For additional information on the impact of broker non-votes, see Question 15 below.

15. WHAT IS AN ABSTENTION?

An abstention is a Shareholder's affirmative choice to decline to vote on a proposal. Under applicable rules, abstentions will not be included in the vote totals and will not affect the outcome of the vote on Proposals 1-3.

16. WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF BROKER NON-VOTES AND ABSTENTIONS?

On Proposal 1 (election of directors), broker non-votes and abstentions will not be included in vote totals and will not affect the outcome of the vote.

On Proposal 2 (ratification of auditors), abstentions will not be included in vote totals and will not affect the outcome of the vote.

On Proposal 3 (advisory vote on executive compensation), broker non-votes and abstentions will not be included in vote totals and will not affect the outcome of the vote.

17. HOW MANY VOTES MUST BE PRESENT TO HOLD THE MEETING?

To hold the Meeting and conduct business, one third of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote as of March 13, 2023 must be present or represented by proxy at the Meeting. As of the date of this Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement, 174,646,197 shares of our Common Stock were issued and outstanding and entitled to vote. Shares representing one third of our Common Stock must be present. This is called a "quorum."

Votes are counted as present at the Meeting if the Shareholder either:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) attends and votes at the virtual Meeting; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) has properly voted by internet or submitted a proxy card.

18. WHERE CAN I FIND THE VOTING RESULTS OF THE MEETING?

We will announce preliminary voting results at the Meeting and publish final results on a current report filed on Form 8-K within four business days of the end of the Meeting and by issuing a press release.

19. UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES WOULD THE MEETING BE ADJOURNED?

The Meeting may be adjourned in the absence of a quorum for the purpose of obtaining a quorum. In the event that the necessary quorum to transact business, the chairman of the Meeting may adjourn the Meeting with respect to the proposals, or the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting, in accordance with applicable law, to permit further solicitation of proxies with respect to such proposals.

------

Any adjournment may be made without notice, other than by an announcement made at the Meeting, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting shares present in person or by properly executed proxy at the Meeting.

**CORPORATE GOVERNANCE**

**Board Leadership Structure**

The Board is responsible for overseeing the business and affairs of the Company. Directors are kept informed of our business through discussions with the Chief Executive Officer and other officers, by reviewing materials provided to them and by participating in regular quarterly and special meetings of the Board and its committees.

The Charter of the Board is posted on our website at <u>http://www.intelgenx.com</u>.

The Board is currently comprised of Dr. Horst G. Zerbe, who serves as our Chairman and seven directors, four of which are independent. Dr. Zerbe is also our Chief Executive Officer. We believe, because of the size of our Company, that the Company, like many U.S. companies, is currently best served by having one person serve as both Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. The Board believes that through this leadership structure, Dr. Zerbe is able to draw on his intimate knowledge of the daily operations of the Company and its relationships with partners, customers, management and employees to provide the Board with leadership in setting its agenda and properly focusing its discussions. As the individual with primary responsibility for managing our day-to-day operations, Dr. Zerbe is also best-positioned to chair regular Board meetings and ensure that key business issues are brought to the Board's attention. The combined role as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer also ensures that the Company presents its message and strategy to shareholders, partners, customers, employees and other stakeholders with a unified, single voice.

In 2014 the Board created the position of Vice Chairman, who serves as the independent Lead Director. The role of Lead Director is to facilitate the functioning of the Board, to help ensure that appropriate processes are followed, to assist in fostering and seeking input of independent directors, and to ensure independent director participation in all Board decisions.

The Lead Director ensures that the Board's relationship with management functions effectively and furthers the best interest of the Company, including working with the committees appointed by the Board to ensure they have the proper structure and appropriate assignments. The Lead Director also regularly communicates with the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer so that he is aware of any concern of the independent directors and any concerns communicated by our shareholders. The role and responsibilities of the Lead Director are in addition to and distinct from the role of the chair of each of the committees of the Board.

The mandate of the Vice Chairman (Lead Director) is posted on our website at <u>http://www.intelgenx.com</u>.

**Majority Voting Policy and Director Resignation Policy**

On March 18, 2022 the Board amended the Company's Bylaws such that directors will be elected if a majority of the votes cast at meetings of Shareholders; provided, however, that, if the number of nominees for director exceeds the number of directors to be elected, directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares of Common Stock represented in person or by proxy at any meeting of Shareholders held to elect directors and entitled to vote on such election of directors. In the event that a director nominee fails to receive an affirmative majority of the votes cast in an election where the number of nominees is less than or equal to the number of directors to be elected, the Board, within its powers, may take any appropriate action, including decreasing the number of directors or filling a vacancy.

On March 18, 2022 the Board adopted a Director Resignation Policy whereby if a director nominee is not elected by at least a majority of the votes cast by Shareholders with respect to his or her election in accordance with the Company's Bylaws, the director nominee will be considered by the Board not to have received the support of the Shareholders, even though elected as a matter of corporate law. Pursuant to the policy, such nominee must immediately submit his or her resignation to the Board. The Board will refer the resignation to the Corporate Governance and Nomination Committee, which will consider whether or not to accept the offer of resignation and will make a recommendation to the Board. Within 90 days following the applicable meeting of the Shareholders, the Board will determine whether to accept or reject the director resignation offer that has been submitted, on the recommendation of the Corporate Governance and Nomination Committee. In considering the Corporate Governance and Nomination Committee's recommendation, the Board will consider the factors considered by the Corporate Governance and Nomination Committee and such additional information and factors that the Board considers to be relevant. Absent exceptional circumstances that would warrant the continued service of the applicable director on the Board, the Board is expected to accept the resignation of such director. Following the Board's decision on the resignation, the Board will promptly disclose, via press release, its decision whether to accept the director's resignation offer, including, without limitation, the reasons for rejecting the resignation offer, if applicable.

If a resignation is accepted, the Board may, subject to any applicable corporate law restrictions, (i) leave a vacancy on the Board unfilled until the next annual general meeting of Shareholders, (ii) fill the vacancy by appointing a new director whom the Board considers to merit the confidence of the Shareholders and meet the applicable independence standards, or (iii) call a special meeting of Shareholders to consider a Board nominee to fill the vacant position.

Any director who tenders his or her resignation pursuant to the Director Resignation Policy will not be permitted to participate in the meetings of the Board and/or the Corporate Governance and Nomination Committee, if he or she is a member of the Board and/or the Corporate Governance and Nomination Committee, as applicable, at which his or her resignation is considered.

**Independence of Directors of the Board**

The Board has determined that four of our Directors, J. Bernard Boudreau, Bernd Melchers, Mark Nawacki and Monika Trzcinska are independent within the meaning of the director independence standards of both The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC ("**NASDAQ**") and the **SEC**, including Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "**Exchange Act**").

**Meetings of the Board**

The Board held four regular meetings, two special meetings and had several update calls during our 2022 Fiscal Year. Additionally, between regular scheduled meetings, management remains in contact with our Board to keep Directors abreast Company matters. All our Directors attended at least 75% of the Board meetings and the committee meetings for the committees on which they served, except for Dr. Srinivas Rao, who missed two of the regular scheduled Board meetings.

We encourage the Directors to attend the Meeting to be available to answer Shareholders' questions. Not all of our Directors attended the previous Annual Meeting in May 2022, which we held as a virtual meeting.

**Compensation of the Board**

Directors are reimbursed for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Board. As described below in "Director Compensation", during our 2022 Fiscal Year, our Directors of the Board (except for the CEO) received an annual stipend of $36,000, the Vice Chairman of the Board received an additional annual stipend of $14,500, and each Chairman of a Board Committee received an additional $7,500. Director fees are paid in quarterly installments at the beginning of each quarter. Mr. Stegert and Dr. Rao serve on the Board as representatives of atai and do not receive compensation from IntelGenx.

In November 2016, the Board resolved to compensate non-employee Directors for their efforts on special or ad hoc committees or for board approved initiatives that fall outside the scope of customary director's duties. A daily (per 8 hours) per diem rate of $798 (CA$1,000) was established. The Audit Committee Chair needs to approve per diem charges submitted by directors. During the 2022 Fiscal Year, no charges were submitted or paid under the new policy.

------

<u>Deferred Share Unit Plan</u>. Effective February 7, 2018, the Board approved a Deferred Share Unit Plan ("**DSU Plan**") to compensate non-employee directors as part of their annual remuneration. Under the DSU Plan, the Board may grant Deferred Share Units ("**DSUs**") to the participating directors at its discretion and, in addition, each participating director may elect to receive all or a portion of his or her annual cash stipend in the form of DSUs. To the extent DSUs are granted, the amount of compensation that is deferred is converted into a number of DSUs, as determined by the market price of our Common Stock on the effective date of the election. The earliest redemption date will be six months following retirement of the participant from any position at the Company or its subsidiaries. These DSUs are converted back into a cash amount at the expiration of the deferral period based on the market price of our Common Stock on the expiration date and paid to the director in cash in accordance with the payout terms of the DSU Plan. As the DSUs are on a cash-only basis and no shares of Common Stock will be reserved or issued in connection with the DSUs, no approval was required from the security authorities or shareholders. On January 1, 2022, 108,696 DSUs were granted to each of the five non-employee directors under the DSU Plan.

**Committees of the Board**

The Board has three standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Corporate Governance and Nomination Committee. Furthermore, in August 2016, we implemented an ad-hoc-Succession Committee.

**Audit Committee**. Our Audit Committee is comprised of independent members of our Board and is currently comprised of Bernd Melchers, Bernard Boudreau and Dr. Monika Trzcinska. The Audit Committee held four meetings during our 2022 Fiscal Year.

Our Audit Committee assists our Board in fulfilling its responsibilities for oversight and supervision of financial and accounting matters. The Chairman of the Audit Committee is Mr. Bernd Melchers. Our Audit Committee's responsibilities include, among others (i) recommending to the Board the engagement of the external auditor and the terms of the external auditor's engagement; (ii) overseeing the work of the external auditor, including dispute resolution between management and the external auditor, if required; (iii) pre-approving all non-audit services to be provided to us by our external auditor; (iv) reviewing our financial statements, management's discussion and analysis and annual and interim earnings press releases before this information is publicly disclosed; (v) assessing the adequacy of procedures for our public disclosure of financial information; (vi) establishing procedures to deal with complaints received by us relating to our accounting and auditing matters; and (vii) reviewing our hiring policies regarding employees of our external auditor or former auditor.

We have adopted, along with our Audit Committee, a written charter of the Audit Committee setting out the mandate and responsibilities of the Audit Committee which provides that the Audit Committee convene no less than four times per year.

The Audit Committee Charter is posted on our website at <u>http://www.intelgenx.com</u>.

Accordingly, the Audit Committee discusses with Richter LLP, our auditors, our audited financial statements, including, among other things, the quality of our accounting principles, the methodologies and accounting principles applied to significant transactions, the underlying processes and estimates used by our management in our financial statements and the basis for the auditor's conclusions regarding the reasonableness of those estimates, in addition to the auditor's independence.

<u>Audit Committee Financial Expert.</u> Mr. Bernd Melchers, Mr. Bernard Boudreau and Dr. Monika Trzcinska are audit committee financial experts under the rules of the SEC. Mr. Melchers, Mr. Boudreau and Dr. Trzcinska are "independent directors" as defined in the NASDAQ Rules and meet the independence and experience requirements of the SEC.

**Compensation Committee**. Our Compensation Committee is comprised of a majority of independent members of our Board and currently consists of the Chairman of the Compensation Committee, Mark Nawacki, Frank Steger and Dr. Monika Trzcinska. The Compensation Committee held three meetings in 2022.

Our Compensation Committee reviews and makes recommendations to our Board concerning the compensation of our directors and executive officers which include the review of our executive compensation and other human resource policies, the review and administration of any bonuses, stock options and equity compensations and major changes to our benefit plans as well as the review of and recommendations regarding the performance of the Chief Executive Office, the Chief Financial Officer, the Vice President of Business and Corporate Development, the Vice President of Research and Development and Vice President IP and Legal Affairs, General Counsel of our Company and its subsidiary.

<u>Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation.</u> The Compensation Committee consists of Mark Nawacki, Frank Stegert and Dr. Monika Trzcinska. There are no interlocking relationships, as described by the SEC, between the Compensation Committee members.

**Corporate Governance and Nomination Committee ("CG&N Committee")**. Our CG&N Committee is comprised of members of our Board and currently consists of the Chairman of the CG&N Committee, J. Bernard Boudreau, Mark Nawacki and Dr. Srinivas Rao. The CG&N Committee was implemented in August 2015 and held two meetings in 2022.

The CG&N Committee is responsible for performing the duties set out in his Charter to enable the Board to discharge its responsibilities and obligations with respect to identifying and recommending candidates for election to the Board and all committees of the Board. Furthermore, the CG&N Committee is responsible for developing an effective corporate governance system for IntelGenx Technologies Corp., and for reviewing and assessing on an ongoing basis our corporate governance and public disclosure.

In considering a potential candidate, the CG&N Committee considers both the qualities and skills that the Board, considered in its entirety, currently possesses and that the Board should possess. Based on the skills and experiences already represented on the Board, the CG&N Committee will consider the experience, personal attributes and qualities that a candidate should possess in light of the anticipated growth and development of the Company. The CG&N Committee recognizes the benefits of promoting diversity at the Board level. Diverse perspectives linked in common purpose contribute to innovation and growth of the Company. In considering candidates and selecting nominees for the Board, diversity, including gender diversity, is an important factor considered by the CG&N Committee. In assessing a candidate's suitability, the CG&N Committee also takes into consideration the existing commitments of the individual to ensure that each member has sufficient time to discharge such member's duties.

Notwithstanding the fact that the CG&N Committee is charged with the responsibility of identifying potential new Board members, all members of the Board are eligible to put forth candidates for the CGNC Committee to consider. Additionally, the Board may engage recruiting firms to assist with identifying qualified candidates. Once candidates have been approved by the CG&N Committee and their interest level gauged, the entire Board discusses, both formally and informally, the suitability of a particular candidate.

Shareholders may recommend individuals to our Board for consideration as potential director candidates by submitting their names, together with appropriate biographical information and background materials to our principal office, 6420 Abrams, Ville St. Laurent, Quebec H4S 1Y2, Attn: Corporate Secretary. Assuming that appropriate biographical and background material has been provided on a timely basis, our Board will evaluate shareholder-recommended candidates by following substantially the same process, and applying substantially the same criteria, as it follows for candidates submitted by others. If our Board determines to nominate a shareholder-recommended candidate and recommends his or her election, then his or her name will be included in our proxy card for the next annual meeting.

We have adopted, along with our CG&N Committee, a written charter of the CG&N Committee setting out the mandate and responsibilities of the CG&N Committee which provides that the Committee convene as frequently as it determines necessary but not less frequently than twice each year.

The CG&N Committee Charter is posted on our website at <u>http://www.intelgenx.com</u>.

**Ad-hoc Succession Committee**. Our Ad-hoc Succession Committee is comprised of members of our Board and currently consists of the Vice Chairman of the Board, J. Bernard Boudreau, Clemens Mayr, Frank Stegert and Dr. Horst G. Zerbe. Throughout 2022, the Ad-hoc Succession Committee held informal meetings and communicated via phone, e-email and teleconference. The Ad-hoc Succession Committee was implemented in August 2016 with the objective to establish the framework for the search of the planned and/or unplanned, interim or permanent successor of our current CEO. The committee had met on several occasions to create an Interim CEO Replacement Plan. The Board adopted the plan in November of 2016, which provides directions for the temporary succession of the CEO in the event of his planned or potentially unplanned departure or leave of absence. The decision on a CEO successor will be made at some appropriate future date by the full Board

**Board's Role in Risk Oversight**

Our management has responsibility for managing day-to-day risk and for bringing the most material risks facing the Company to the Board's attention. The Board takes an active role in risk oversight related to the Company both as a full Board and through its committees. To facilitate the Board's risk oversight responsibility, management provides the Board with information about its identification, assessment and management of critical risks and its risk mitigation strategies. This information is communicated to the Board and its committees at regular and special meetings, through reports, presentations and discussions with key management personnel and representatives of outside advisors, such as our independent auditors, as appropriate. During regular Audit Committee meetings, committee members discuss the financial results for the most recent fiscal quarter with the independent auditors, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer. The Audit Committee also meets with and provides instruction to the independent auditors outside the presence of management. These discussions allow the members of the Audit Committee to analyze any significant risks that could materially impact the financial health of our business.

------

The Compensation Committee oversees the Company's executive compensation arrangements, including the identification and management of risks that may arise from the Company's compensation policies and practices.

**Executive Compensation**

The key objectives of our executive compensation policies are to attract and retain key executives who are important to our long-term success and to provide incentives for these executives to achieve high levels of job performance and enhancement of shareholder value. We seek to achieve these objectives by paying our executives a competitive level of base compensation for companies of similar size and industry and by providing our executives an opportunity for further reward for outstanding performance in both the short term and the long term.

<u>Executive Officer Compensation.</u> Our executive officer compensation program is comprised of three elements: base salary, annual cash bonus and long-term incentive compensation in the form of stock option grants and/or RSU awards.

<u>Salary</u>. The Compensation Committee and our Board will review base salaries for our executive officers, taking into account individual experience, job responsibility and individual performance during the prior year. These factors are not assigned a specific weight in establishing individual base salaries. The Compensation Committee will also consider our executive officers' salaries relative to salary information for executives in similar industries and similarly sized companies.

<u>Cash Bonuses</u>. The purpose of the cash bonus component of the compensation program is to provide a direct financial incentive in the form of cash bonuses to executives. The cash bonuses are paid on the base of executives achieving annual individual and corporate objectives, which are set annually by the Board and the CEO and reviewed by the Compensation Committee.

<u>Long-Term Incentive Compensation.</u> Under our Performance and Restricted Share Unit Plan ("**PRSU Plan**"), which was approved by our shareholders at the 2018 annual meeting, we are able to compensate executive officers with RSUs and stock options.

The objectives of the stock option and the RSU program are to align employees' and shareholder long-term interests by creating a strong and direct link between compensation and increases in share value. Under our 2022 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan ("**SOP**"), the Board may authorize the grant of options to purchase our Common Stock to our key employees. Historically, options have generally vested in increments over a period of two years established at the time of grant. However, this practice was adjusted for the stock options granted in January 2023 such that options are tied to a base four-year vesting period that can be accelerated where certain performance targets set by the Board have been achieved earlier. Under the PRSU Plan, the Board may authorize the award of restricted share units. The vesting of such restricted share units is determined by the Board at the time of the award.

**Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings**

None of our officers or directors have, during the last ten years: (i) been convicted in or is currently subject to a pending criminal proceeding; (ii) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to any federal or state securities or banking laws including, without limitation, in any way limiting involvement in any business activity, or finding any violation with respect to such law, nor (iii) has any bankruptcy petition been filed by or against the business of which such person was an executive officer or a general partner, whether at the time of the bankruptcy or for the two years prior thereto or been subject to any of the items set forth under Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K.

**Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance**

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires directors, officers and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file reports of ownership and change in ownership with the SEC. Directors, officers and greater than 10% shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely upon our review of the copies of such forms that we received during the 2022 Fiscal Year, we believe that each person who at any time during the fiscal year was a director, officer, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of our Common Stock complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements during such fiscal year.

**Communications with the Board**

Any record or beneficial owner of our Common Stock who wishes to communicate with the Board should contact the Chairman of the Board or the Chairman of the Audit Committee. If particular communications are directed to the full Board, independent directors as a group, or individual directors, the Chairman of the Board or the Chairman of the Audit Committee, as applicable, will route these communications to appropriate committees or directors if the intended recipients are clearly indicated. Any record or beneficial owner of our Common Stock who has concerns about our accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters relating to us should also contact the Audit Committee.

------

Written communications should be addressed to IntelGenx Technologies Corp., 6420 Abrams, Ville St-Laurent, Quebec H4S 1Y2, Canada, Attention: Chairman of the Board/Chairman of the Audit Committee. Communications that are intended to be anonymous should be sent to the same address but without indicating your name or address, and with an interior envelope addressed to the specific committees or directors you wish to communicate with.

**Code of Ethics**

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to our directors and officers, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is posted on our website at <u>http://www.intelgenx.com</u>. We intend to satisfy the disclosure requirement under Item 5.05 of Form 8-K regarding any amendment to, or waiver from, a provision of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by posting such information on our website at the web address specified above.

**Employee, Director and Officer Hedging**

We have currently not adopted any practice or policy regarding the ability of our employees (including officers) or directors, or any of their designees, to purchase financial instruments (including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, and exchange funds), or otherwise engage in transactions, that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of our equity securities. As such, our employees, officer, directors or their designees are generally permitted to engage in these transactions.

**EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION**

The following table sets forth all compensation awarded to, or earned by, certain executive officers, including our Principal Executive Officer, and our three other most highly compensated executive officers for the years indicated (the "**Named Executive Officers**").

(6) Representatives of atai. Pursuant to the Purchaser Rights Agreement, two directors were appointed to the Board. In accordance with atai's policy no compensation was paid to these individuals by IntelGenx.

(7) Mr. Marinucci seized to be a Director effective May 10, 2022. In accordance with the DSU Plan, accrued DSU cash compensation was paid out six month following his departure.

(8) Dr. Trzcinska has been a Director of IntelGenx since May 10, 2022

Effective April 1, 2015, our Directors of the Board (except for the CEO) received an annual stipend of CA$36,000, the Vice Chairman of the Board received an additional stipend of CA$14,500 and each Chairman of a Board committee received an additional CA$7,500. Director fees are paid in quarterly installments at the beginning of each quarter. Effective January 2017, the currency of the Directors' compensation changed from Canadian dollars to U.S. dollars. The amounts remained the same. Subsequent to year end, the Board followed the recommendations of the compensation committee and resolved to increase both the annual stipend and Board committee fees by 7 % effective January 1, 2023.

------

In November 2016, the Board resolved to compensate non-employee directors for their efforts on special or ad hoc committees or for Board approved initiatives that fall outside the scope of customary director's duties. A daily (per 8 hours) per diem rate of $768 (CA$1,000) was established. The Audit Committee Chair needs to approve per diem charges submitted by directors. During the 2022 Fiscal Year, no charges were submitted or paid under the policy.

Effective February 7, 2018, the Board approved a DSU Plan to compensate non-employee directors as part of their annual remuneration. Under the DSU Plan, the Board may grant DSUs to the participating directors at its discretion and, in addition, each participating director may elect to receive all or a portion of his or her annual cash stipend in the form of DSUs. To the extent DSUs are granted, the amount of compensation that is deferred is converted into a number of DSUs, as determined by the market price of our Common Stock on the effective date of the election. These DSUs are converted back into a cash amount at the expiration of the deferral period based on the market price of our Common Stock on the expiration date and paid to the director in cash in accordance with the payout terms of the DSU Plan. As the DSUs are on a cash-only basis and no shares of Common Stock will be reserved or issued in connection with the DSUs, no approval was required from the security authorities or shareholders. During 2022, 108,696 DSUs valued at CA$50,000 (US$39,440) were awarded to each of the five non-employee directors.

At December 31, 2022 Mr. Boudreau, Mr. Melchers, Mr. Mayr and Mr. Nawacki held 50,000, 50,000, 50,000, and 125,000 vested options to purchase Common Stock, respectively. No options were granted to Mr. Stegert, Dr. Rao or Dr. Trzcinska.

**Directors' and Officers' Liability Insurance**

During the 2022 Fiscal Year, we carried Directors' and Officers' liability insurance at an approximate annual cost of $660,000 for an insured limited amount of $15 million.

**Compensation Committee Report**

The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis appearing in this document with management and based upon this review and discussion recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Proxy Statement and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Respectfully submitted,<br>Mark Nawacki (Chairman)<br>Monika Trzcinska<br>Frank Stegert<br>Members of the Compensation Committee<br>

**CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS** 

**Atai**

*Securities Purchase Agreement*

Under a securities purchase agreement, atai agreed to purchase 37,300,000 shares of common stock of the Company and 22,380,000 warrants (the "Warrants") for aggregate gross proceeds of US$12,346,300. Each Warrant entitles atai to purchase one share of common stock at a price of US$0.35 for a period of three years from closing of the initial investment. The securities purchase agreement also provides atai with the right to subscribe (in cash, or in certain circumstances, atai equity) for up to 130,000,000 additional units (the "Additional Units") for a period of three years from the closing of the initial investment. Each Additional Unit will be comprised of (i) one share of common stock and (ii) one half of one warrant (the "Additional Warrants"). The price for the Additional Units is (i) until the date which is 12 months following the closing, US$0.331 (subject to certain exceptions), and (ii) following the date which is 12 months following the closing, the lower of (A) a 20% premium to the market price on the date of purchase, and (B) US$0.50 if purchased in the second year following closing and US$0.75 if purchased in the third year following closing. Each Additional Warrant will entitle atai, for a period of three years from the date of issuance, to purchase one share of common stock (the "Additional Share") at the lesser of either (i) a 20% premium to the price of the corresponding Additional Unit, or (ii) the price per share under which shares of common stock of the Company are issued under convertible instruments that were outstanding on February 16, 2021 (the "Outstanding Convertibles"), the date on which the parties entered into a non-binding letter of intent to enter into a definitive securities purchase agreement, provided that atai may not exercise Additional Warrants to purchase more than the lesser of (x) 44,000,000 common shares of the Company, and (y) the number of shares of common stock issued by the Company under Outstanding Convertibles.

------

Under the securities purchase agreement, the Company also granted atai a pro-rata equity participation right for any issuances of new securities, subject to certain exceptions.

Following the initial closing, atai is holding approximately 21% (approximately 35% on a partially diluted basis) of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company and therefore became a new "Control Person" of the Company as such term is defined under applicable Canadian securities laws. Based on the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company and outstanding convertible instruments on the date hereof, assuming the full exercise of its option to acquire the Additional Units and exercise of the Initial Warrants and Additional Warrants, atai would hold approximately 56% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis.

*Strategic Development Agreement*

Under a strategic development agreement, atai and IntelGenx Corp. cooperate to conduct research and development projects in areas relating to the parties' respective technologies. So long as atai maintains certain levels of its initial equity ownership in the Company, IntelGenx Corp. will work exclusively with atai in the field of compounds for the prevention or treatment of mental health diseases or disorders or compounds that have psychedelic, entactogenic and/or oneirophrenic properties, but excluding certain specific compounds and veterinary applications. The commercialization of any technologies that result from the research and development projects under the strategic development agreement will be subject to agreements to be negotiated, as well as to specified pricing and royalty terms for manufacturing conducted by IntelGenx or third parties.

*Purchaser Rights Agreement*

Under a purchaser rights agreement, atai has the right to appoint nominees in the same proportion to the number of Board members of the Company as the Shares then held by atai, registration rights, and financial and other information rights. On August 4, 2021, the Company appointed Srinivas G. Rao, M.D., Ph.D. and Frank Stegert to its Board of Directors. Subsequently, on May 10, 2022, Dr. Rao and Mr. Stegert were elected to the board by the shareholders of the Company.

The Company will have the right to terminate the purchaser rights agreement if atai ceases to own a certain amount of the Company's equity.

*Term Loan*

atai also granted to IntelGenx Corp. a secured loan in the amount of US$2,000,000 which was subsequently increased to US$2,500,000. The loan is guaranteed by the Company and secured by all of present and future fixed assets of IntelGenx Corp.

On September 15, 2021, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, IntelGenx Corp. entered into an amended and restated secured loan agreement with atai pursuant to which atai has made two additional term loans available to IntelGenx Corp. in the amount of U.S.$3,000,000 each, which will mature on January 5, 2024. The first loan was received on January 7, 2022 and the second loan was received on January 6, 2023. The Loan Agreement also extends the maturity date for the current loans, in an aggregate amount of U.S.$2,500,000, to January 5, 2024. The obligations under the loans are guaranteed by the Company.

**Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons**

Although IntelGenx has not adopted formal procedures for the review, approval or ratification of transactions with related persons, we adhere to a general policy that such transactions should only be entered into if they are on terms that, on the whole, are no more favorable, or no less favorable, than those available from unaffiliated third parties and their approval is in accordance with applicable law. Such transactions require the approval of our Board. The term "related party transaction" refers to transactions required to be disclosed in our filings with the SEC pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K.

**Family Relationships**

Horst G. Zerbe and Ingrid Zerbe are spouses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) At the 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, shareholders approved the 2022 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan, which was adopted by the Board on March 21, 2022.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) The weighted average exercise price excludes RSUs, which have no exercise price.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) Represents the maximum number of shares of our Common Stock available for grants under the 2022 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan as of December 31, 2022. No registration statement has been filed for the additional 6,117,382 shares of common stock that were available to be granted under the 2016 Stock Option Plan (now known as the SOP) pursuant to the amendments from July 2020 and May 2022.

**2022 Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan** 

The 2016 Stock Option Plan was adopted by the Board in order to make the terms of the Company's stock option plan more consistent with the requirements of the TSX Venture Exchange and to remove certain provisions which would have enabled the Company to grant incentive stock options in compliance with Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. The 2016 Stock Option Plan permits the granting of options to officers, employees, directors and eligible consultants of the Company. A total of 6,361,525 shares of Common Stock were reserved for issuance under this plan, which includes stock options granted under the previous 2006 Stock Option Plan. In August 2018, the Board approved the amendment of the 2016 Stock Option Plan to increase the total number of shares of Common Stock reserved under the plan to 9,347,747 and in July 2020, the number of shares reserved was increased to 11,025,965. Options may be granted under the 2016 Stock Option Plan on terms and at prices as determined by the Board except that the options cannot be granted at less than the market closing price of the Common Stock on the TSX Venture Exchange on the date prior to the grant. Each option will be exercisable after the period or periods specified in the option agreement, but no option may be exercised after the expiration of 10 years from the date of grant. The 2016 Stock Option Plan provides the Board with more flexibility when setting the vesting schedule for options which was otherwise fixed in the 2006 Stock Option Plan. On March 21, 2022, the Board adopted further amendments to the 2016 Stock Option Plan, which were approved by shareholders at the 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

------

**PRSU Plan**

The PRSU Plan was approved by Shareholders at the 2018 annual meeting on May 7, 2018. The primary purpose of this PRSU Plan is to provide the Company with a share-related mechanism to attract, retain and motivate qualified executive officers and senior managers of the Company and its Subsidiaries and to reward such officers and senior managers for their contributions toward the long-term goals and success of the Company and to enable and encourage such officers and senior managers to acquire shares of Common Stock as long-term investments and proprietary interests in the Company.

The PRSU Plan permits the Board to grant RSU awards to employees, consultants or directors of the Company and Performance Share Unit ("**PSU**") awards to employees and consultants of the Company. In each case, the award of RSUs or PSUs are subject to restrictions in connection with the termination of employment, engagement or term in office.
