2021 Information Circular, Stock Incentive PlanI will be voting NO on the following resolution:
to consider and, if thought fit, approve an ordinary resolution to approve an increase to the number of Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to our Stock Incentive Plan from 5.0% to 8.9% of the number of our issued and outstanding Shares and to approve Shares issuable pursuant to unallocated awards under our Stock Incentive Plan;
I my opinion, management and the BOD are now out of touch with those of us who actually own the company, the shareholders! As per the TSX rules, shareholders are supposed to vote on this before it is enacted, but that did not happen! Here is the following excerpt; theTSX has conditionally approved the increase, subject to the resolution being approved by a majority of the votes cast by Shareholders, in person or by proxy, at the Meeting.
The Corporation’s annual burn rate under the Stock Incentive Plan was 3.8% for the year ending December 31, 2020, 2.4% for the year ending December 31, 2019, and 1.6% for the year ending December 31, 2018. For this purpose, the burn rate is calculated by dividing the total number of Incentives granted during the applicable fiscal year divided by the weighted average number of Shares outstanding for the applicable fiscal year. The burn rate is subject to change, from time to time, based on the number of Incentives granted and the total number of Shares issued and outstanding.
As of March 31, 2021, there were an aggregate of 9,511,459 RSAs and 11,365,726 PSAs outstanding, representing 6.1% of our issued and outstanding Shares on that date, leaving nil Shares reserved and available for issuance pursuant to the settlement of Incentives that may be granted in the future (assumes a Payout Percentage of 100% for the PSAs and without giving effect to any adjustments for dividends).
The BOD has already overstepped their authority when considering the required input from the Shareholders!
