The Annual Meeting will be held at the Holiday Inn, 590 Argus Road, Oakville, ON L6J 3J3 Canada, on April 30, 2014, at 10:00 am EST. The purposes of the Annual Meeting are:

The Board of Directors has fixed March 26, 2014 as the record date for the Annual Meeting. Only stockholders of the Company of record at the close of business on that date will be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. A list of stockholders as of March 26, 2014 will be available for inspection by any stockholder at our principal place of business, 300-125 Lakeshore Road East, Oakville, Ontario L6J 1H3 Canada, starting April 8, 2014, during normal business hours, and at the Annual Meeting

Stockholders will need to register at the Annual Meeting to attend the Annual Meeting. If your shares of common stock are not registered in your name, you will need to bring proof of your ownership of those shares of common stock to the Annual Meeting in order to register. You should ask the broker, bank or other institution that holds your shares of common stock to provide you with a proxy that shows your ownership of shares of common stock of the Company as of March 26, 2014. Please bring that documentation to the Annual Meeting to register.

IMPORTANT

Whether or not you expect to attend the Annual Meeting, please sign and return the enclosed proxy promptly. If you decide to attend the Annual Meeting, you may, if you wish, revoke the proxy and vote your shares of common stock in person.

By Order of the Board of Directors,

Proxy Statement
 for the
Annual Meeting of Stockholders
To Be Held April 30, 2014

Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this proxy statement to “SDI,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Security Devices International Inc.

The Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) will be held at the Holiday Inn, 590 Argus Road, Oakville, ON L6J 3J3 Canada, on April 30, 2014, at 10:00am EST. We are providing the enclosed proxy materials and form of proxy in connection with the solicitation by our Board of Directors (the “Board”) of proxies for this Annual Meeting. This proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) will first be mailed to holders of our voting stock on or about April 8, 2014.

You are invited to attend the Annual Meeting at the above stated time and location. If you plan to attend and your shares of common stock are held in “street name” – in an account with a bank, broker, or other nominee- you must obtain a proxy issued in your name from such broker, bank or other nominee.

You can vote your shares of common stock by completing and returning the proxy card or, if you hold shares in “SDI,” by completing the voting form provided by the broker, bank or other nominee. A returned signed proxy card without an indication of how shares of common stock will be voted FOR the ratification of our independent registered public accounting firm.

A returned proxy card without an indication of how shares of common stock should be voted will count towards the determination of a quorum and will be cast as votes FOR the following proposals: (1) the election of all nominees (“Nominees”) as directors of the Board (“Directors”) and (2) the approval of the Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “2013 Plan”). We encourage our stockholders to instruct their brokers to vote their shares of common stock on each of the proposals.

Our corporate bylaws (the “Bylaws”) define a quorum as one-third of the voting power of the issued and outstanding voting stock present in person or by proxy. The nominees who receive the most votes will be elected. A simple majority of the voting shares present, whether in person or by proxy, is required to ratify the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm.

     QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT PROXY MATERIALS AND VOTING

Why am I receiving this Proxy Statement and proxy card?

You are receiving this Proxy Statement and proxy card because you were a stockholder of record at the close of business on March 26, 2014, and are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. This Proxy Statement describes issues on which we would like you, as a stockholder, to vote. It provides information on these issues so that you can make an informed decision. You do not need to attend the Annual Meeting to vote your shares of common stock.

When you sign the proxy card you appoint Gregory Sullivan, our Chief Executive Officer, and if Mr. Sullivan is unavailable, Dean Thrasher, our Chief Operating Officer and Secretary, as your representative at the Annual Meeting. As your representatives, they will vote your shares of common stock at the Annual Meeting (or any adjournments or postponements) as you have instructed them on your proxy card. With proxy voting, your shares will be voted whether or not you attend the Annual Meeting. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, it is a good idea to complete, sign and return your proxy card in advance of the Annual Meeting, just in case your plans change.

If an issue comes up for vote at the Annual Meeting (or any adjournments or postponements) that is not described in this Proxy Statement, your representative will vote your shares of common stock, under your proxy, at their discretion, subject to any limitations imposed by law.

When is the record date?

The Board has fixed March 26, 2014, as the record date for the Annual Meeting. Only holders of shares of our voting stock as of the close of business on that date will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

How many shares are outstanding?

As of March 26, 2014, we had 46,849,285 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

What am I voting on?

You are being asked to vote on the following:

  1.

The election of the Nominees to the Company’s Board of Directors to serve until the Company’s 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or until successors are duly elected and qualified; the following are Nominees for election as directors: Gregory Sullivan, Dean Thrasher, Allen Ezer, Keith Morrison, and David Goodbrand;

   
  2.

To ratify the appointment of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2014;

   
  3.

To pass a resolution approving the 2013 Plan; and

   
  4.

Any other business that may properly come before the annual meeting.

How many votes do I get?

Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote. No cumulative rights are authorized, and dissenters’ rights are not applicable to any of the matters being voted upon.

The Board recommends a vote FOR each of the Nominees to the Board, FOR the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm, and FOR the 2013 Plan.

How do I vote?

You have several voting options. You may vote by:

If your shares of common stock are held in an account with a brokerage firm, bank, dealer, or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares of common stock held in a “street name” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote the shares of common stock in your account. You are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares of common stock in person at the Annual Meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy card from your broker, bank, or other nominee.

Can stockholders vote in person at the Annual Meeting?

We will pass out written ballots to anyone who wants to vote at the Annual Meeting. If you hold your shares of common stock through a brokerage account but do not have a physical share certificate, or the shares are registered in someone else’s name, you must request a legal proxy from your stockbroker or the registered owner to vote at the Annual Meeting.

What if I change my mind after I return my proxy?

You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the polls close at the Annual Meeting by:

How many votes do you need to hold the Annual Meeting?

To conduct the Annual Meeting, we must have a quorum, which means that one-third of our outstanding voting shares as of the record date must be present at the Annual Meeting. Based on 46,849,285 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of March 26, 2014, 15,616,428 shares of common stock must be present, in person or by proxy, for a quorum to be present at the Annual Meeting.

Your shares will be counted as present at the Annual Meeting if you:

What if I abstain from voting?

Abstentions with respect to a proposal are counted for the purposes of establishing a quorum. If a quorum is present, abstentions will not be included in vote totals. Since our bylaws provide that approval of a proposal at an Annual Meeting of the stockholders is by the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting shares present, in person or by proxy, at a Annual Meeting of the stockholders, a properly executed proxy card marked ABSTAIN with respect to a proposal will have the same effect as voting AGAINST that proposal. However, as described below, election of Directors is by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. A properly executed proxy card marked WITHHELD with respect to the election of Directors will not be voted and will not count FOR any of the Nominees for which the vote was withheld.

What effect does a broker non-vote have?

Brokers and other intermediaries, holding shares of common stock in street name for their customers, are generally required to vote the shares of common stock in the manner directed by their customers. If their customers do not give any direction, brokers may vote the shares of common stock on routine matters, but not on non-routine matters. The following proposals are non-routine matters: (1) the election of the Nominees as Directors; (2) the approval of the 2013 Plan, therefore, brokers may not vote shares of common stock held in street name for their customers in relation to these items of business. The ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year of 2013 is considered a routine matter and brokers will be permitted to vote shares of common stock held in street name for their customers.

The absence of a vote on a non-routine matter is referred to as a broker non-vote. Any shares of common stock represented at the Annual Meeting but not voted (whether by abstention, broker non-vote or otherwise) will have no impact in the election of Directors, except to the extent that the failure to vote for an individual results in another individual receiving a larger proportion of votes cast for the election of Directors. Any shares of common stock represented at the Annual Meeting but not voted (whether by abstention, broker non-vote or otherwise) with respect to the proposal to approve the Stock Option Plan, this will have the same effect as a vote against such proposal. In recognition of our desire to have every stockholder vote count, we encourage our stockholders to instruct their brokers to vote their shares.

6


How many votes are needed to elect Directors?

The Nominees for election as Directors at the Annual Meeting will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. The Nominees with the most votes will be elected. A properly executed proxy card marked WITHHELD with respect to the election of Directors will not be voted and will not count FOR or AGAINST any of the Nominees.

How many votes are needed to ratify the appointment of the independent registered public accountant?

The ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accountant will be approved if a majority of the voting shares present at the Annual Meeting vote FOR the proposal. A properly executed proxy card marked ABSTAIN with respect to this proposal will have the same effect as a vote cast AGAINST this proposal.

How many votes are needed to approve the 2013 Plan?

The Stock Option Plan will be approved if a majority of the voting shares present at the Annual Meeting vote FOR the proposal. A properly executed proxy card marked ABSTAIN with respect to this proposal will have the same effect as a vote cast AGAINST this proposal.

Will my shares of common stock be voted if I do not sign and return my Proxy Card?

If your shares of common stock are held through a brokerage account, your brokerage firm, under certain circumstances, may vote your shares of common stock. See “What effect does a broker non-vote have?” above for a discussion of the matters on which your brokerage firm may vote your shares of common stock.

If your shares of common stock are registered in your name, and you do not sign and return your proxy card, your shares of common stock will not be voted at the Annual Meeting, unless you attend the Annual Meeting and vote your shares of common stock.

How are votes counted?

Your shares of common stock will be voted as you indicate on your proxy card. If you just sign your proxy card with no further instructions, your shares of common stock will be voted:

Voting results will be tabulated and certified by the Inspector of Elections.

Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?

We will publish the final results in a current report filing on Form 8-K with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) within four (4) business days of the Annual Meeting.

Who will pay for the costs of soliciting proxies?

We will bear the cost of soliciting proxies. In an effort to have as large a representation at the Annual Meeting as possible, our directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies by telephone or in person in certain circumstances. These individuals will receive no additional compensation for their services other than their regular salaries. Additionally, we may hire a proxy solicitor to help reach the quorum requirement. We will pay a reasonable fee in relation to these services. Upon request, we will reimburse brokers, dealers, banks, voting trustees and their nominees who are holders of record of our common stock on the record date for the reasonable expenses incurred for mailing copies of the proxy materials to the beneficial owners of such shares.

When are stockholder proposals due for the 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders?

In order to be considered for inclusion in the 2014 proxy statement, stockholder proposals must be submitted in writing to our Secretary, Dean Thrasher, at Security Devices International Inc., 300-125 Lakeshore Road East, Oakville, ON L6J 1H3 Canada, and received no later than October 1, 2014, provided that this date may be changed in the event that the date of the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in calendar year 2015 is changed by more than 30 days from the date of this Annual Meeting.

Are there any proposals currently anticipated for the 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders?

In addition to common shares, the Company is currently authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series as may be determined by SDI's Board of Directors. The voting powers and preferences, the relative rights of each such series and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions of each series would need to be established by the Board of Directors. While not currently anticipated, SDI's directors are able to issue preferred stock with multiple votes per share and dividend rights which would have priority over any dividends paid with respect to the holders of SDI's Common Shares. The issuance of preferred stock with these rights may make the removal of management difficult even if the removal would be considered beneficial to shareholders generally, and will have the effect of limiting shareholder participation in transactions such as mergers or tender offers if these transactions are not favored by SDI's management. As of the date of this proxy statement SDI had not issued any shares of preferred stock and as of the date of this proxy statement SDI’s Board has no intention to issue any shares of preferred stock. Further and as a condition precedent to the TSXV issuing its final acceptance of listing of the Company’s common shares on the TSXV, SDI provided an undertaking in writing to the TSXV to: i) not issue any shares of preferred stock with multiple votes per share for so long as the Common Shares may be listed on the TSXV; and ii) present to its shareholders for approval an amendment to SDI’s constating documents to prohibit the issuance of shares of preferred stock having multiple voting attributes. SDI intends to include such an item of special business at its next annual or special meeting of stockholders.

How can I obtain a copy of the Annual Report on Form 10-K or our Audited Financial Statements?

Our Audited Financial Statements are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and are available on the Internet at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. At the written request of any stockholder who owns shares of common stock on the record date, we will provide to such stockholder, without charge, a paper copy of our Financial Statements as filed with the SEC, but not including exhibits. If requested, we will provide copies of the exhibits for a reasonable fee. Requests for additional paper copies of the Financial Statements should be mailed to:

1101 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, 6th Floor

Legal Proceedings, Cease Trade Orders and Bankruptcy

In November of 2013, a former officer filed a suit against the Company in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Province of Ontario) seeking, among other things, $60,000 in damages for wrongful dismissal, damages of $35,000 on account of vacation pay and damages to be determined for out of pocket expenses, breach of contract, unjust enrichment and loss of business opportunity. Management of the Company believes this suit is without merit and the Company intends to vigorously defend against the suit and as such no provision for any potential payment has been expensed.

Except as noted below, to our knowledge, none of our directors, executive officers or any of our stockholders holding more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, or any associate of any such director, officer or stockholder is a party adverse to us or any of our subsidiaries or has an interest adverse to us or any of our subsidiaries. None of our directors or executive officers is, as of the date of this Proxy Statement, or was within 10 years before the date of this Proxy Statement, a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer of any company (including the Company), that:

  (a)

was subject to a cease trade order (except as listed below), an order similar to a cease trade order or an order that denied the relevant company access to any exemption under securities legislation, for a period of more than 30 consecutive days, that was issued while the director or executive officer was acting in the capacity as director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer; or

   
  (b)

was subject to a cease trade order, an order similar to a cease trade order or an order that denied the relevant company access to any exemption under securities legislation, for a period of more than 30 consecutive days, that was issued after the director or executive officer ceased to be a director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer and which resulted from an event that occurred while that person was acting in the capacity as director, chief executive officer or chief financial officer.

On October 28, 2008, Pacific Copper Corp., a US SEC filer received a cease trade order (the “CTO”) from the British Columbian Securities Commission (the “BCSC”). By its terms, the CTO was issued for not filing a technical report under ‘Canadian National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for mineral projects (“NI 43-101”) with respect to its material copper oxide projects in Chile in support of mineral reserve and mineral reserve estimates and results of a preliminary assessment, after having made public disclosures regarding such properties. On May 8, 2009, the BCSC revoked its CTO against the Company. In order to comply with legislation, Pacific Copper Corp. filed technical reports under Canadian National Instrument 43-101 with respect to each of the mineral projects.

11


On March 8, 2012, Pacific Copper Corp. received an additional CTO from the BCSC, the effect of which is limited to the Province of British Columbia. The CTO was issued for failure to file comparative annual financial statements for its financial year ended October 31, 2011 as required under Part 4 of National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations ("NI 51-102") and section 5(b) of British Columbia Instrument 51-509 Issuers Quoted in the U.S. Over-the-Counter Markets ("BCI 51-509"); a Form 51-102F1 Management's Discussion and Analysis for the period ended October 31, 2011 as required under Part 5 of NI 51-102 and section 5(b) of BCI 51-109; and a Form 51-102F2 Annual Information Form for the year ended October 31, 2011 as required under section 5(c) of BCI 51-509. Pacific Copper Corp. filed its annual financial statements for its financial year ended October 31, 2011, Form 51-102F1 Management's Discussion and Analysis for period ended October 31, 2011, and Form 51-F2 Annual Information Form for the year ended October 31, 2011. As a result, on March 15, 2012, the BCSC revoked the CTO issued on March 8, 2012. Mr. Malhotra, SDI’s CFO was at the time and is no longer the CFO for Pacific Copper Corp.

None of our directors or executive officers, and none of our stockholders holding a sufficient number of our securities to affect materially the control of the Company:

  (a)

is, as at the date of this Proxy Statement, or has been within the 10 years before the date of this annual report, a director or executive officer of any company (including the Company) that, while that person was acting in that capacity, or within a year of that person ceasing to act in that capacity, became bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or was subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold its assets; or

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
 THE BOARD STRUCTURE

General Structure

Our current bylaws require the Board to have at least one (1) and no more than ten (10) Directors. The current Board is composed of five (5) directors.

Director Independence

We have five (5) directors as at March 26, 2014, including two independent directors, as follows:

An “independent” director is a director whom the Board has determined satisfies the requirements for independence under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, section 10A(m)(3) and under section 803A of the NYSE MKT LLC Company Guide. Duane Parnham will not be standing for re-election.

Board Leadership Structure

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the business and affairs of the Company. Members of the Board are kept informed of our business through discussions with the President and other officers, by reviewing materials provided to them and by participating in meetings of the Board and its committees.

The Board is currently comprised of Gregory Sullivan, who serves as our Chairman and President, and two independent directors and two directors who are not independent. The Board believes that there is no single best organizational model that is the most effective in all circumstances and that the shareholders’ interests are best served by allowing the Board to retain the flexibility to determine the optimal organizational structure for the Company at a given time, including whether the Chairman role should be held by an independent director or a senior executive who serves on the Board.

BOARD COMMITTEES

Our Board has established one board committee: the Audit Committee. The Board expects to create a Compensation Committee, and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee in the coming fiscal year.

The information below sets out the current members of our Audit Committee and summarizes the functions of such committee.

Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Experts

Our Audit Committee is comprised of Gregory Sullivan, Duane Parnham, and David Goodbrand.

Gregory Sullivan is the Chairman of the Audit Committee. Gregory Sullivan satisfies the criteria for an audit committee financial expert under Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K of the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Audit Committee will meet with management and our external auditors if necessary, to review matters affecting financial reporting, the system of internal accounting and financial controls and procedures and the audit procedures and audit plans. The Audit Committee reviews our significant financial risks, will be involved in the appointment of senior financial executives and will annually review our insurance coverage and any off-balance sheet transactions.

The Audit Committee is mandated to monitor our audit and the preparation of financial statements and to review and recommend to the Board all financial disclosure contained in our public documents. The Audit Committee is also mandated to appoint external auditors, monitor their qualifications and independence and determine the appropriate level of their remuneration. The external auditors report directly to management, the Audit Committee and to the Board. The Audit Committee and the Board each have the authority to terminate the external auditor’s engagement (subject to confirmation by stockholders). The Audit Committee will also approve in advance any services to be provided by the external auditors, which are not related to the audit.

During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2013, the Audit Committee met once. The Audit Committee expects to meet as needed during the upcoming fiscal year.

Audit Committee Report

Our Audit Committee oversees our financial reporting process on behalf of the Board. The Committee has three members, two of which are “independent” as determined under Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act, and the rules of the NYSE MKT LLC. The Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board.

The Committee assists the Board by overseeing (1) the integrity of our financial reporting and internal control, (2) independence and performance of our independent auditors, (3) and provides an avenue of communication between management, the independent auditors, and the Board.

In the course of providing its oversight responsibilities regarding the 2013 financial statements, the Audit Committee will be reviewing the 2013 audited financial statements, with management and our independent auditors. The Audit Committee reviewed accounting principles, practices, and judgments as well as the adequacy and clarity of the notes to the financial statements.

The Audit Committee may meet with the independent auditors to discuss their audit plans, scope and timing on a regular basis, with or without management present. The Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board for independent auditor communications with Audit Committees concerning independence, as may be modified or supplemented.

PROPOSAL 3 — APPROVAL OF THE INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN

You are being asked to vote for the Incentive Stock Option Plan which is described in greater detail below.

The shareholders of the Company are being asked to consider, and if thought fit, to pass the following resolution:

"BE IT RESOLVED THAT the incentive stock option plan of the Company is hereby approved and confirmed."

Overview of the Company’s Stock Option Plans

     Effective October 30, 2006, SDI adopted the following stock option and stock bonus plans which were replaced by the Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “2013 Plan”) in May 2013.

     Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan. SDI’s Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan authorizes the issuance of shares of SDI’s Common Stock to persons that exercise options granted pursuant to the Plans. SDI’s employees, directors, officers, consultants and advisors are eligible to be granted options pursuant to the Plans, provided however that bona fide services must be rendered by such consultants or advisors and such services must not be in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction.

     Incentive Stock Option Plan. SDI’s Incentive Stock Option Plan authorizes the issuance of shares of SDI’s Common Stock to persons that exercise options granted pursuant to the Plan. Only SDI employees may be granted options pursuant to the Incentive Stock Option Plan. The option exercise price is determined by SDI’s directors but cannot be less than the market price of SDI’s common stock on the date the option is granted. There are no options currently outstanding under Incentive Stock Option Plan. No options have been issued under this plan as at November 30, 2013.

     Stock Bonus Plan. SDI’s Stock Bonus Plan allows for the issuance of shares of common stock to its employees, directors, officers, consultants and advisors. However bona fide services must be rendered by the consultants or advisors and such services must not be in connection with the offer or sale of securities in a capital-raising transaction. No options have been issued under this plan as at November 30, 2013.

On October 10, 2007, our Board adopted the Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan for 4,500,000 shares to be issued. As of March 26, 2014, there are 1,510,000 options outstanding.

On April 10, 2008, our Board amended the Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan to permit 5,000,000 shares to be issued. Effective May 31, 2013, the Company adopted the 2013 Plan, which replaces the stock option and stock bonus plans that were in place prior to adoption of the 2013 Plan. All outstanding options to purchase shares of common stock granted by the Company under the prior plans are now governed by the 2013 Plan and the prior plans (an Incentive Stock Option Plan, a Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, and a Stock Bonus Plan) have been terminated. A full copy of the 2013 Plan is attached hereto as Appendix “A”.

We have not granted any options, which are subject to ratification by stockholders. The table below shows securities issued under our equity compensation plans as of November 30, 2013.

(2) Consists of 2,317,212 options from the 2013 Plan.

Overview of the 2013 Plan

Effective May 31, 2013, the board of directors adopted 2013 Plan, which replaces the stock option and stock bonus plans that were in place prior to adoption of the 2013 Plan. All outstanding options to purchase common shares granted by the Company under the prior plans are now governed by the 2013 Plan and the prior plans (an Incentive Stock Option Plan, a Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, and a Stock Bonus Plan) have been terminated.

The 2013 Plan is subject to approval by the Company’s shareholders, which approval will be sought at the Meeting. Options outstanding under the 2013 Plan cannot be exercised until the 2013 Plan has been approved by both the TSXV and the shareholders.

As a condition precedent to the TSXV issuing its final acceptance of listing of the common shares on the TSXV, all of the warrants previously issued by the Company in satisfaction of remuneration for services (the “Compensation Warrants”), being warrants to purchase 4,319,000 common shares, are included under the 2013 Plan reserve and reduce the number of options which may otherwise be granted.

The 2013 Plan authorizes the issuance of that number of common shares which is equal to 20% of the issued and outstanding common shares following completion of the offering (the “Offering”) under the Company’s prospectus dated July 2, 2013 filed with the securities regulatory authorities in the provinces of Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta and conversion prior to listing of the convertible debentures outstanding upon completion of the Offering. Accordingly, the 2013 Plan reserved for issuance 9,369,857 common shares on exercise of options to be granted under the 2013 Plan, on exercise of options granted under the prior plans (which are now governed by the 2013 Plan), and on exercise of the Compensation Warrants.

The material terms of the 2013 Plan are as follows:

1.

The board of directors administers the 2013 Plan.

26



2.

The employees, directors, officers and consultants of the Company, and employees of a management services provider to the Company, are eligible to be granted options pursuant to 2013 Plan.

  
3.

The term of any option granted under the Plan will be fixed by the board of directors at the time such option is granted, provided that options will not be permitted to exceed a term of 10 years.

The exercise price of any options granted under the Plan will be determined by the board of directors, in its sole discretion, but shall not be less than the last closing price of the common shares prior to the grant of the option.

No vesting requirements will apply to options granted under the 2013 Plan, unless otherwise determined by the board of directors. Options granted to persons retained to provide investor relations activities must vest in stages over a period of not less than 12 months, with not more than 1/4 of the options vesting in any three month period.

All options will be non-assignable and non-transferable.

The aggregate number of options granted in a 12 month period (a) to any one person (and companies wholly owned by that person) must not exceed 5% of the common shares, (b) to all persons retained to provide investor relations activities must not exceed 2% of the common shares, and (c) to any one consultant must not exceed 5% of the common shares.

If the option holder ceases to be an eligible person under the 2013 Plan, then the holder’s option shall expire on the earlier of (a) 90 days after the date that the option holder ceases to be an eligible person (unless the board had fixed a period of more than 90 days, but not exceeding one year, at the time the option was granted), and (b) the expiry date of the option. Disinterested shareholder approval must be obtained for (i) any reduction in the exercise price of an outstanding option, if the option holder is an insider; and (ii) any grant of options to any one individual, within a 12 month period, exceeding 5% of the Company’s issued shares.

The expiry date of an option will be automatically extended if the expiry date falls within a blackout period imposed by the Company under to its internal trading policies as a result of the existence of undisclosed material information. The extension will be until 5:00 p.m. on the day which follows the expiry of the blackout period by the lesser of 10 business days and the number of business days within the blackout period.

Options will be adjusted in the event of any consolidation, subdivision, conversion or exchange of the Company’s subordinate voting securities.

The TSXV requires that the Company obtain shareholder approval of the 2013 Plan because the amended Plan could resulted at any time in the number of common shares reserved for issuance under options exceeding 10% of the issued shares.

The TSXV also requires that the Company obtain disinterested shareholder approval of the 2013 Plan because the 2013 Plan could result at any time in: (i) the number of common shares reserved for issuance to insiders (as a group) exceeding 10% of the issued shares, or (ii) the grant to insiders (as a group), within a 12 month period, of a number of options exceeding 10% of the issued shares. Disinterested shareholder approval is the approval of a majority of the votes cast by all shareholders voting at the Meeting (in person or by proxy) excluding votes attached to common shares beneficially owned by (a) insiders to whom options may be granted under the 2013 Plan, or (b) associates of insiders to whom options may be granted under the 2013 Plan. The votes attached to 1,800,000 common shares will be excluded from voting for purposes of obtaining disinterested shareholder approval.

Who is eligible to participate in the Company’s 2013 Plan?

Any employee, officer, director, consultant, independent contractor, or director of or providing services to us or any parent, affiliate, or subsidiary of us is eligible to be designated a participant in the 2013 Plan.

Currently, this includes, but is not limited to, the following directors and executives:

27


In total there are approximately 10 officers, directors, employees, and consultants eligible under the 2013 Plan.

What benefit amounts will be received under the 2013 Plan?

Currently, the Board has not authorized the issuance of options covered by the share increase. The following is a summary of the current options issued under our 2013 Plan, to current officers and directors:

Directors & Officers Number of options granted Number of vested options
Rakesh Malhotra 125,000 125,000
Duane Parnham 1,000,000 1,000,000
David Goodbrand 100,000 100,000

The Board recommends a vote FOR the approval of the 2013 Plan. All proxies executed and returned without an indication of how shares of common stock should be voted will be voted FOR the approval of the 2013 Plan.

28

As of the date of this Proxy Statement, management does not know of any other matter that will come before the Annual Meeting.

32


8.              Number of Optioned Shares

The options granted to any Optionee shall be determined by the Board, but no Optionee shall be granted options which exceed the maximum number permitted by the Exchange. Without limiting the foregoing:

Reference source not found.0).

10.              Vesting and Exercise

Options may be subject to such vesting restrictions as are determined by the Board in its discretion; provided that options granted to persons retained to provide Investor Relations Activities must vest in stages over a period of not less than 12 months with no more than 1/4 of the options vesting in any three month period.

Subject to any vesting restrictions, options may be exercised in whole or in part at any time and from time to time prior to the expiry of those options.

Except as otherwise specifically permitted under this Plan, no option may be exercised unless the Optionee is at the time of such exercise an Eligible Person.

The exercise of any option shall be contingent upon receipt by the Issuer at its head office of (i) a written notice of exercise, specifying the number of options being exercised, and (ii) payment in cash of the full purchase price of the options being exercised under that notice of exercise.

33


11.              Investor Relations

If the Optionee performs Investor Relations Activities, then the Optionee shall report all trading in the securities of the Issuer to the Secretary of the Issuer for delivery to the Board, by submitting a report which details the dates of those trades, the number of securities traded and the prices at which securities were traded.

12.              Ceasing To Be an Eligible Person

If an Optionee ceases to be an Eligible Person for any reason (other than death), such Optionee may exercise that Optionee’s options, provided that:

  (a)

such exercise must occur no later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto, Ontario time) on the earlier of (i) the Expiry Date, and (ii) that period of time after the Optionee ceases to be an Eligible Person which is equal to the Exercise Limit (defined below); and

   
  (b)

the options may only be exercised if and to the extent that the Optionee is entitled to exercise the options on the date the Optionee ceases to be an Eligible Person.

The term “Exercise Limit” means that period of time which is fixed by the Board at the time an option is granted and, failing such determination, the Exercise Limit shall be 90 days. The Exercise Limit may not exceed one year. Nothing contained in this Plan, or in any option granted pursuant to this Plan, shall confer upon an Optionee any right to continue as an employee, officer, director or consultant of the Issuer.

13.              Death of Optionee

Notwithstanding Section Error! Reference source not found.0, in the event of the death of a Optionee, the options granted to that Optionee may be exercised by the person or persons to whom the Optionee’s rights under the options shall pass by the Optionee’s will or the laws of descent and distribution, provided that:

  (a)

such exercise must occur no later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the earlier of (i) the Expiry Date, and (i) the first anniversary of the Optionee’s death; and

   
  (b)

the options may only be exercised if and to the extent that the Optionee was entitled to exercise the options on the date of death.

14.              Blackout Extensions

The Expiry Date of an option shall be automatically extended if the Expiry Date falls within a period (a “Blackout Period”) during which the Issuer prohibits Optionees from exercising their options; provide that:

  (a)

The Blackout Period must be formally imposed by the Issuer pursuant to its internal trading policies as a result of the bona fide existence of undisclosed Material Information (as that term is defined under the policies of the Exchange). For greater certainty, in the absence of the Issuer formally imposing a Blackout Period, the expiry date of any options will not be automatically extended in any circumstances.

34



  (b)

The Blackout Period shall expire upon the general disclosure of the undisclosed Material Information. The Expiry Date shall be extended to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto, Ontario time) on that day which follows the expiry of the Blackout Period by the lesser of (i) ten business days, and (ii) the number of business days falling within the Blackout Period. For this purpose, a business day means a day which is not a Saturday, a Sunday or a date on which banks generally are closed in the Optionee’s municipality of residence.

   
  (c)

The automatic extension of an Optionee’s options will not be permitted where the Optionee or the Issuer is subject to a cease trade order (or similar order under applicable securities laws) in respect of the Issuer’s securities.

15.              Rights as a Shareholder

No person entitled to exercise any option granted under this Plan shall have any of the rights or privileges of a shareholder of the Issuer in respect of any Share issuable upon exercise of such option until such Share has been issued.

16.              Adjustments

If there is any subdivision or consolidation of the Shares into a greater or lesser number, and if this subdivision or consolidation occurs during the term of any options, then upon exercise of those options by the Optionee the Issuer shall deliver to the Optionee the number of Shares which the Optionee would have held as a result of the subdivision or consolidation if on the record date thereof the Optionee had been the registered holder of the number of Shares in respect of which the Optionee is exercising the options.

Except as described in the preceding paragraph, if the Shares are reclassified, reorganized or otherwise changed, or the Issuer consolidates, merges or amalgamates with or into another company, (any such event being a “Reorganization”), and if this Reorganization occurs during the term of any options, then upon exercise of the options by the Optionee the Issuer, or the company resulting or continuing from the Reorganization, shall deliver the number and kind of securities and/or other consideration that the Optionee would have been entitled to receive as a result of the Reorganization, if on the record date of the Reorganization the Optionee had been the registered holder of the number of Shares in respect of which the Optionee is exercising the options.

The securities and other consideration delivered to an Optionee under this Section shall be in substitution for the Shares called for delivery to the Optionee under the options and the exercise price of the options shall be the consideration for the substitute securities and other consideration.

17.              Transferability

All options shall be non-assignable and non-transferable. Options shall be exercisable, during the Optionee’s lifetime, only by the Optionee.

All option agreements and Shares issued under options shall be subject to, and legended with, such hold periods as may apply under applicable securities laws or the requirements of the Exchange. All Shares which are issued subject to such a hold period shall be legended as required under applicable securities laws or the requirements of the Exchange.

35


18.              Tax Withholding

To the extent the grant or exercise of an option gives rise to any tax or other statutory withholding obligation (including, without limitation, income and payroll withholding taxes imposed by any jurisdiction), prior to the delivery of the option or Shares being acquired upon the exercise of the option, as the case may be, the Issuer may:

(a)

require the Optionee to pay to the Issuer an amount, or

  
(b)

withhold an amount from any remuneration or consideration whatsoever payable to the Optionee,

sufficient to pay any tax or other statutory withholding obligation associated with the grant or exercise of the option, as the case may be.

19.              Amendment and Termination of Plan

Subject to the approval of the Exchange (if required), the Board may, at any time, suspend or terminate this Plan. Subject to any applicable approval of the Exchange, the Board may at any time amend or revise the terms of this Plan; provided that no such amendment or revision shall result in a material adverse change to the terms of any option previously granted under this Plan.

20.              Replacement of Existing Plans

This Plan replaces and supercedes the Issuer’s existing stock option plans. All options which were issued under the Issuer’s existing plans shall be deemed to have been properly issued under this Plan and shall be subject to the terms of this Plan.

21.              Approvals

This Plan is subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) acceptance of the Plan by the Exchange and (ii) the approval of the Plan by the Issuer’s shareholders at a meeting of shareholders. Options may be granted under this Plan prior to the satisfaction of those conditions provided that no such option may be exercised prior to the satisfaction of those conditions.

The ability of an Optionee to exercise options, and the obligation of the Issuer to issue and deliver Shares under options, is subject to any approvals which may be required from shareholders of the Issuer, the Exchange and any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the securities of the Issuer. If any Shares cannot be issued to any Optionee as a result of the failure to obtain that approval, the obligation of the Issuer to issue such Shares shall terminate and any exercise price paid to the Issuer will be returned to the Optionee.

22.              Effective Date of Plan

This Plan shall take effect as of August 1, 2013.

23.             Interpretation

The Plan will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Province of Ontario.
