ATI TECHNOLOGIES INC.

ANNUAL AND SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

THIS BOOKLET EXPLAINS:

    details of the matters to be voted upon at the Meeting; and

    how to exercise your vote even if you are unable to attend the Meeting.

THIS BOOKLET CONTAINS:

    the Notice of Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders;

    the Management Information Circular;

    management’s request that you vote to support its proposals; and

    a proxy form that you may use to vote your common shares without attending the Meeting.

This Management Information Circular (the “Circular”) and proxy form is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by or on behalf of the management of ATI Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) for use at the annual and special meeting (the “Meeting”) of the shareholders of the Company to be held on Tuesday, January 25, 2005.

At this Meeting, management will report on the Company’s performance in fiscal 2004 and the Company’s plans for the coming year. The Meeting will deal with the usual matters of corporate governance, including the presentation of financial results, the election of directors and the appointment of auditors. Your presence, or at least your vote if you are unable to attend in person, is important because in addition to voting upon the usual items of business as listed above, shareholders will also be voting on several items of special business including the continuance of the Company under the Canada Business Corporations Act (“CBCA”), the adoption of a new general by-law and an amendment to the Company’s share option plan (a) to replenish the number of common shares available for issuance thereunder, and (b) to provide the Board of Directors of the Company with the discretion to award stock appreciation rights in connection with the grant of options.

We would like your support for all matters to be decided at the Meeting, including approval of the proposed continuance under the CBCA and the proposed amendments to the Company’s share option plan. Voting in favour of the proposed amendments to the Company’s share option plan will facilitate further growth of the Company by permitting the Company to continue to provide equity incentives to its employees, while doing so in a manner that reduces dilution.

REGISTERED SHAREHOLDERS

PLEASE NOTE: A form of proxy (printed on blue paper) is enclosed with this booklet. This proxy form may be used to vote your common shares if you are unable to attend the Meeting in person. Instructions on how to vote using this proxy form are found on page 2 of the Circular.

NON-REGISTERED BENEFICIAL SHAREHOLDERS

PLEASE NOTE: If your common shares are held on your behalf, or for your account, by a broker, securities dealer, bank, trust company or similar entity (an “Intermediary”), you may not be able to vote unless you carefully follow the instructions provided by your Intermediary with this booklet.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

Information for the Shareholders about the January 25, 2005 Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders

This Management Information Circular (referred to as the “Circular”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by or on behalf of the management of ATI Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) to all shareholders of the Company, for use at the Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders (the “Meeting”), together with a Notice of Annual and Special Meeting of the Shareholders (the “Notice”) and a proxy form. The Circular’s purpose is:

    to explain how you, as a shareholder of the Company, can vote at the Meeting, either in person or by transferring your vote to someone else to vote on your behalf;

    to request that you authorize the Company’s Chairman (or his alternate) to vote on your behalf in accordance with your instructions set out on the proxy form;

    to inform you about the business to be conducted at the Meeting, including the election of directors for the coming year; and

    to give you some important background information to assist you in deciding how to vote.

VOTING

      Registered Shareholders

Each registered shareholder is entitled to one vote for each common share registered in his or her name as of the record date. The directors of the Company have set December 15, 2004 as the record date. If a shareholder sells some or all of the common shares that he or she owns after the record date, the person who purchased the common shares will become a shareholder of the Company, but may only vote at the Meeting if he or she has asked the Company’s transfer agent, CIBC Mellon Trust Company (“CIBC Mellon”), to include his or her name on the list of shareholders eligible to vote at the Meeting. This request must be made at least ten days before the Meeting.

      Non-registered Beneficial Shareholders

You may be a non-registered beneficial shareholder of the Company (as opposed to a registered shareholder) if your common shares are held on your behalf, or for your account, by a broker, a securities dealer, a bank, a trust company or another similar entity (called an “Intermediary”). If you are a non-registered beneficial shareholder, your Intermediary will be the entity legally entitled to vote your common shares. In order to vote your common shares, you must carefully follow the instructions that your Intermediary delivered to you with this Circular. Instead of completing the form of proxy that is printed on blue paper and may be enclosed with this Circular, you will likely be asked to complete and deliver a different form to your Intermediary. This form will instruct the Intermediary how to vote your common shares at the Meeting on your behalf. As a non-registered beneficial shareholder, while you are invited to attend the Meeting, you will not be entitled to vote at the Meeting, unless you submit all required information to your Intermediary well in advance of the Meeting and carefully follow its instructions and procedures.

OWNERSHIP OF SHARES

As of December 1, 2004, there were 251,327,298 common shares of the Company issued and outstanding. As far as the directors and senior officers of the Company are aware, no single shareholder beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, or exercises control or direction over, more than 10% of the Company’s common shares.

Page 6 of 61


QUORUM

The presence of two shareholders or proxyholders entitled to cast votes representing at least 5% of the Company’s common shares will constitute a quorum at the Meeting. The Company’s list of shareholders as of the record date has been used to deliver to shareholders both the Notice and this Circular, as well as to determine who is eligible to vote.

VOTING IN PERSON

If you attend the Meeting in Toronto on Tuesday, January 25, 2005 and are a registered shareholder, you may cast one vote for each of your registered common shares on any and all resolutions voted on by way of ballot at the Meeting. This includes the election of directors, the other issues listed on the Notice, and any other business that may arise at the Meeting. You may oppose any matter proposed at the Meeting by either withholding your vote from, or voting your common shares against, any resolution at the Meeting, depending on the specific resolution. If you attend the Meeting in person and are a non-registered beneficial shareholder, you will not be entitled to vote at the Meeting unless you contact your Intermediary well in advance of the Meeting and carefully follow its instructions and procedures.

VOTING BY PROXY FOR REGISTERED SHAREHOLDERS

The following instructions are for registered shareholders only. If you are a non-registered beneficial shareholder, please follow your Intermediary’s instructions on how to vote your shares.

If you are unable to attend the Meeting, or if you do not wish to personally cast your votes, you may still make your votes count by authorizing another person who will be at the Meeting to vote on your behalf. You may either tell that person how you want to vote, or let him or her choose for you. This is called voting by proxy.

      What Is a Proxy?

A proxy is a document that you may sign in order to authorize another person to cast your votes for you at the Meeting. The document that is printed on blue paper and is enclosed with this Circular is the form of proxy that you may use to authorize another person to vote on your behalf at the Meeting. You may use this proxy form to assign your votes to the Company’s Chairman (or his alternate) or to any other person of your choice. You may also use any other legal proxy form.

      Appointing a Proxyholder

Your proxyholder is the person that you appoint to cast your votes at the Meeting on your behalf. You may choose the Company’s Chairman (or his alternate) or any other person that you want to be your proxyholder. Please note that your proxyholder is not required to be another shareholder of the Company. If you want to authorize the Company’s Chairman (or his alternate) as your proxyholder, please leave the line near the top of the proxy form blank, as the Chairman’s name and the name of his alternate, are already pre-printed on the form. If you want to authorize another person as your proxyholder, just fill in that person’s name in the blank space located near the top of the enclosed proxy form and cross out the name of the Company’s Chairman and his alternate.

Your proxy authorizes the proxyholder to vote and otherwise act for you at the Meeting, including any continuation of the Meeting that may occur in the event that the Meeting is adjourned. If you return the attached proxy form to CIBC Mellon, and have left the line for the proxyholder’s name blank, then the Chairman or his alternate will automatically become your proxyholder.

Depositing Your Proxy

To be valid, the proxy form must be filled out, correctly signed (exactly as your name appears on the proxy form), and returned to the Toronto office of the Company’s transfer agent, CIBC Mellon, by either delivering it to 200 Queens Quay East, Unit 6, Toronto, Ontario, M5A 4K9 or faxing it to (416) 368-2502 by 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on Monday, January 24, 2005 (or the last business day prior to any reconvened Meeting in the event of an adjournment of the Meeting) or by presenting it at the Meeting prior to commencement of the Meeting (or at the reconvened Meeting in the event of an adjournment of the Meeting). Your proxyholder may then vote on your behalf at the Meeting.

You may instruct your proxyholder how you want to vote on the issues listed in the Notice by checking the appropriate boxes on the proxy form. If you have specified on the proxy form how you want to vote on a particular issue (by checking FOR, AGAINST or WITHHOLD), then your proxyholder must cast your votes as instructed. By checking “WITHHOLD” on the proxy form, where applicable, you will be abstaining from voting.

If you have NOT specified how to vote on a particular matter, your proxyholder is entitled to vote your common shares as he or she sees fit. Please note that if your proxy form does not specify how to vote on any particular matter, and if you have authorized the Company’s Chairman or his alternate to act as your proxyholder (by leaving the line for the proxyholder’s name blank on the proxy form), your common shares will be voted at the Meeting as follows:

    FOR management’s nominees for election as directors;

    FOR the reappointment of KPMG LLP as auditor;

    FOR the approval of the continuance of the Company as a corporation under the Canada Business Corporations Act;

    FOR the approval of a new general by-law;

    FOR the approval of the proposed amendment to the Company’s share option plan to replenish the number of common shares available for issuance thereunder; and

    FOR the approval of the proposed amendment to the Company’s share option plan to provide the Board of Directors of the Company with the discretion to award stock appreciation rights in connection with the grant of options.

For more information on these issues, please see the section entitled “Business of the Meeting” beginning on page five of this Circular. If any other issues properly arise at the Meeting that are not described in the Notice, or if any amendments are proposed to the matters described in the Notice, your proxyholder is entitled to vote your common shares as he or she sees fit. The Notice sets out all the matters to be determined at the Meeting that are known to management as of December 17, 2004.

      Revoking Your Proxy

If you want to revoke your proxy after you have signed and delivered it to CIBC Mellon, you may do so by delivering another properly executed form of proxy bearing a later date and delivering it as set out above under the heading “Depositing Your Proxy” or by clearly indicating in writing that you want to revoke your proxy and delivering this written document to the Company at:

33 Commerce Valley Drive East
Markham, Ontario
L3T 7X6
Attention: Corporate Secretary
Fax: (905) 709-6950

– 3 –

Page 8 of 61


This revocation must be received by the Company by 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on Monday, January 24, 2005 (or by 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the last business day before the date of any continuation of the Meeting that may occur in the event that the Meeting is adjourned), or by the Chairman prior to the commencement of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting (or any continuation of the Meeting that may occur in the event that the Meeting is adjourned), or in any other way permitted by law.

If you revoke your proxy and do not replace it with another form of proxy that is deposited with CIBC Mellon on or before the deadline, 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on Monday, January 24, 2005, you may still vote your own common shares in person at the Meeting provided you are a registered shareholder whose name appears on the shareholders’ register of the Company.

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

The Company requests that you fill out your proxy form to ensure your votes are cast at the Meeting. If you leave the proxy form blank, and if you do not specify how your common shares are to be voted on particular resolutions, the Chairman (or his alternate) will vote your common shares as described above. This solicitation of your proxy (your vote) is made on behalf of management of the Company.

The Company will pay the cost related to the foregoing solicitation of your proxy. This solicitation will be made primarily by mail. Regular employees of the Company, or the representatives of CIBC Mellon, may also ask for proxies to be returned, but will not be paid any additional compensation for doing so.

HOW A VOTE IS PASSED

Other than the approval of the continuance of the Company as a corporation under the CBCA, all matters that are scheduled to be voted upon at the Meeting are ordinary resolutions. Ordinary resolutions are passed by a simple majority, meaning that if more than half of the votes that are cast are in favour, then the resolution passes. The resolution pertaining to the continuance of the Company as a corporation under the CBCA is a special resolution that requires at least two-thirds of the votes cast to be voted in favour of the resolution in order for the resolution to pass. In addition, the Toronto Stock Exchange requires that the resolutions relating to the amendments to the Company’s share option plan be approved by a majority of the votes cast at the Meeting.

If any nominee becomes unable to serve as a director for any reason prior to the Meeting, and if you authorize the Company’s Chairman (or his alternate) to act as your proxyholder at the Meeting, the Company’s Chairman (or his alternate) reserves the discretionary right to vote for other management nominees, unless directed to withhold from voting.

At the Meeting, management will nominate the seven persons listed below for election as directors of the Company.

APPROVAL OF THE CONTINUANCE OF THE COMPANY UNDER THE CBCA

The Company is currently governed, as to matters of corporate law, by the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “OBCA”). A company subject to the OBCA may, if authorized by a special resolution of the shareholders of the Company and the Ontario Ministry of Consumer and Business Services, apply under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “CBCA”) for a certificate of continuance under the CBCA. Shareholders are being asked to approve the continuance of the Company under the CBCA (the “Continuance”). Upon the issuance of a certificate of continuance in respect of the Company, the OBCA will cease to apply to the Company and the CBCA will become applicable to the Company as if it has been incorporated under the CBCA.

      Reasons for Continuance

The principal reason for continuing the Company under the CBCA is to enable the Company to benefit from the more flexible corporate procedures provided for in the CBCA, amongst which are provisions which require the number of directors who must be resident Canadians to be at least 25% of the number of directors elected. Currently, as a company governed by the OBCA, a majority of the Company’s directors are required to be resident Canadians. By continuing under the CBCA, the Board believes that the Company will be able to draw from a broader pool of candidates than is currently possible in the event that additional directors are to be nominated for election in the future.

The Company is a global company with development and sales operations around the world. Customers and potential customers of the Company exist throughout the world. Management of the Company believes that the international nature of the Company’s business requires that the Company have the flexibility to elect or appoint directors based on merit without the requirement that a majority of directors be resident Canadians. If the Continuance is approved and the Company is continued under the CBCA, in addition to the residency requirements of the CBCA, the Company will continue to be required to have at least two Canadian directors under the rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange.

A summary comparison of the difference between the OBCA and the CBCA is set out in Schedule A.

Shareholders will be asked to pass the following special resolution authorizing and approving the Continuance:

      BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

  (a)   the continuance (the “Continuance”) of ATI Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) from a corporation existing under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) to a corporation existing under the Canada Business Corporations Act (the “CBCA”) is hereby approved;

  (b)   the Company is hereby authorized to prepare and file articles of continuance (the “Articles of Continuance”) substantially in the form of the Company’s current articles of incorporation, as amended (the “Articles”) subject to any amendments necessary to comply with the provisions of the CBCA, and upon the issuance of a certificate of continuance continuing the Company under the CBCA, the Articles shall be replaced in their entirety by the Articles of Continuance;

  (c)   the directors of the Company are authorized to abandon the Continuance without further approval of the shareholders if, in the opinion of the directors, abandonment of the Continuance is in the best interest of the Company; and

  (d)   any director or officer of the Company is hereby authorized to execute and deliver and to do all such other acts and things as such director or officer may determine to be necessary or advisable in connection with the Continuance, including, without limitation, the execution and delivery of the Articles of Continuance.

To be approved, the Continuance must be passed by at least two-thirds of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the Meeting. The Board believes that the Continuance is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the resolution approving the Continuance. Unless instructed in the form of proxy to the contrary, the persons named in the accompanying form of proxy intend to vote FOR the Continuance.

      Dissent Rights

Under the provisions of the OBCA, registered shareholders of the Company will be entitled to exercise dissent rights in connection with the approval of the Continuance. In addition to any other rights that shareholders of the Company may have, when the Continuance becomes effective, registered shareholders who comply with the dissent procedures under section 185 of the OBCA will be entitled to be paid the fair value of the common shares in respect of which they have dissented, determined as at the close of business on the day before the special resolution approving the Continuance is adopted.

The dissent procedures provided by section 185 of the OBCA is summarized in Schedule B and the text of section 185 of the OBCA is set out in Schedule C. Shareholders who wish to dissent are referred to these Schedules. A shareholder may only exercise the right to dissent under section 185 of the OBCA in respect of common shares which are registered in that shareholder’s name. Failure by a dissenting shareholder to adhere strictly to the requirements of section 185 of the OBCA may result in the loss of such dissenting shareholder’s rights under that section.

APPROVAL OF A NEW GENERAL BY-LAW

In conjunction with the Continuance, the Board has passed a resolution adopting, upon the effective date of the Continuance, a new general by-law of the Company (the “CBCA By-law”), being a by-law relating generally to the regulation of the business and affairs of the Company. The CBCA By-law will repeal all other by-laws of the Company that are in force upon the effective date of the Continuance. The full text of the CBCA By-law is set out in Schedule D. In general, the CBCA By-law has been drafted to effect certain procedural changes relating to the business and affairs of the Company deemed necessary by the Board in order to be consistent with the provisions and limitations of the CBCA.

Shareholders are being asked to confirm the CBCA By-law approved by the Board. The CBCA By-law will only be adopted in the event that shareholders approve the Continuance and the Continuance becomes effective. The resolution to confirm the CBCA By-law must be passed by a simple majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the Meeting. The Board believes that the adoption of the CBCA By-law upon the completion of the Continuance is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the resolution confirming the CBCA By-law. Unless instructed in the form of proxy to the contrary, the persons named in the accompanying form of proxy intend to vote FOR the confirmation of the CBCA By-law.

APPROVAL OF AMENDMENTS TO THE COMPANY’S SHARE OPTION PLAN

The Company has adopted a share option plan (the “Option Plan”) pursuant to which options to purchase common shares may be granted at the discretion of the Board to employees and officers of the Company and designated affiliates of the Company (the “Optionees”). The Option Plan is more fully described under the heading “Equity Plans – Share Option Plan” below.

At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to vote on two resolutions approving certain amendments to the Option Plan, described in detail below, that will (a) replenish the number of common shares available for issuance upon the exercise of options to be granted under the Option Plan in the future by 11,972,871 common shares so that the maximum aggregate number of common shares issuable under the Option Plan and the Company’s restricted share unit plans returns to the level last approved by shareholders; and (b) provide the Board with the discretion to award tandem stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) to Optionees for exercise in lieu of options.

   Replenishment of the Number of Common Shares Reserved for Issuance under the Option Plan

The Company is proposing to amend the Option Plan to replenish the number of treasury common shares available for issuance (the “Replenishment”). Currently, the aggregate number of common shares available for issuance from treasury under the Option Plan or pursuant to other share compensation arrangements established by the Company (i.e., the Company’s restricted share unit plans (“RSU Plans”) described under the heading “Equity Plans – Restricted Share Unit Plans”) is limited to 47,000,000 common shares, representing approximately 18.7% of the common shares currently issued and outstanding. The proposal, if approved, would not increase the aggregate number of common shares available for issuance under the Option Plan and the RSU Plans from the level last approved by shareholders.

During the period from November 23, 2002 (the date on which the approval of the current maximum number of common shares available for issuance under the Option Plan was based) to December 1, 2004, 11,972,871 common shares have been issued upon the exercise of options, thereby reducing the number of common shares currently available for issuance from treasury under the Option Plan and the RSU Plans by this same amount. To date, no common shares have been issued or reserved for issuance from treasury under the RSU Plans.

As at December 1, 2004, options to purchase an aggregate of 25,482,958 common shares were outstanding under the Option Plan. No treasury shares have been allocated for issuance pursuant to the Company’s RSU Plans. Accordingly, as at December 1, 2004 only 9,544,171 common shares remain available for the grant of future options under the Option Plan or pursuant to the Company’s RSU Plans.

Shareholders will be asked to approve a resolution to reconstitute the Option Plan to the level last approved by shareholders by replenishing the number of common shares available for issuance under the Option Plan by 11,972,871 common shares. If the Replenishment is approved by shareholders, as at December 1, 2004, options to purchase 25,482,958 common shares will be outstanding and 21,517,042 common shares will remain unissued, for an aggregate of 47,000,000 shares reserved for issuance from treasury under the Option Plan and the Company’s RSU Plans. The Company’s RSU Plans, however, limit the number of shares issuable from treasury thereunder to 3,000,000 common shares.

If shareholders approve the proposed amendment to the Option Plan to authorize the awarding of tandem SARs, as more fully described below, it is likely that, over time, a lower number of common shares will be issued under the Option Plan and, as a result, the frequency with which the Company will need to request future replenishments of the number of common shares available for issuance under the Option Plan may be reduced.

The Board believes that the Replenishment is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the resolution approving the Replenishment. To be effective, the resolution approving the Replenishment must be passed by a majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the Meeting. Unless instructed in the form of proxy to the contrary, the persons named in the accompanying form of proxy intend to vote FOR the approval of the Replenishment.

      Tandem Stock Appreciation Rights

The Company is also proposing to amend the Option Plan to provide the Board with the discretion to award tandem SARs in connection with all or a portion of the existing and future options granted under the Option Plan (the “Tandem SARs Amendment”). Tandem SARs provide an Optionee with the right to surrender vested options for termination in return for common shares with a market value equal to the net proceeds that the Optionee would have otherwise received had such Optionee exercised the vested options and immediately sold the underlying common shares.

For example, if awarded tandem SARs, an employee could realize value on 100 options having an exercise price of $20.00 at a time when the market price of the Company’s common shares is $25.00 by either (a) paying the Company $2,000 to exercise the options, receiving 100 common shares and immediately selling these shares for gross proceeds of $2,500, thereby realizing a profit of $500; or (b) exercising the corresponding tandem SAR and receiving (and immediately selling) 20 common shares with a market value of $500. In both circumstances, the employee would receive $500, however, by exercising tandem SARs, only 20 shares are issued from treasury rather than the 100 shares that would be issued upon exercise of the option.

By way of further illustration, if all non-U.S. employees had exercised tandem SARs in lieu of Options throughout the 2004 financial year, the number of common shares issued would have decreased from 4,242,406 common shares to 1,890,474 common shares, a reduction of approximately 55%.

When tandem SARs are exercised, the corresponding options will be terminated and the underlying common shares, less the number of common shares issued upon the exercise of the tandem SARs, will be available for issuance upon the exercise of future options, tandem SARs or RSUs granted under the Company’s share incentive plans, as is currently the case for options which expire or are otherwise surrendered or terminated without having been exercised.

The Board recommends voting in favour of the Tandem SARs Amendment because the awarding of tandem SARs is expected to reduce the dilution currently anticipated in connection with the exercise of options. Since it is likely that most Optionees who are awarded tandem SARs will exercise such SARs in lieu of their options, a lower number of common shares would be issued and the need for further replenishments of the number of common shares reserved for issuance under the Option Plan may be reduced.

Subject to the approval of the Tandem SARs Amendment by shareholders, the Board will be authorized, in its discretion, to award tandem SARs in connection with both existing options and options to be granted in the future. Subject to the discretion of the Board, the Company anticipates that, initially, employees and officers who are either Canadian residents or non-U.S. residents who do not file U.S. tax returns will be awarded tandem SARs in connection with all future option grants and all options granted by the Company on or after September 1, 2002. At a later date, the Board may, in its discretion, award tandem SARs in connection with all or a portion of the options granted on or after September 1, 2002 to U.S. resident employees and officers and any other Optionees who file U.S. tax returns, pending the outcome of the guidance that is anticipated to be provided by the U.S. Treasury Department to assist employers in their compliance with new restrictions for non-qualified deferred compensation contained in the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.

Beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2005, the Company will use the fair value method to expense the compensation cost associated with options granted to employees on or after September 1, 2002. Under this method, the fair value of an option is estimated using an option pricing model (i.e., Black-Scholes) and is then recognized as an expense over the vesting period of the option. The awarding of tandem SARs on options granted on or after September 1, 2002 is not expected to have an impact on the estimated fair value of such options. Currently, if the Board, in its discretion, were to award tandem SARs in connection with options granted prior to September 1, 2002, the Company would be required to recognize an expense relating to these options. The amount of this expense could be significant, depending on the number of tandem SARs awarded by the Board in connection with options granted prior to September 1, 2002 and the estimated value of such options. Over time, however, this expense could decrease as a result of the ongoing exercise and termination of options granted prior to September 1, 2002. Accordingly, the grant of tandem SARs in respect of options granted prior to September 1, 2002 will be dependent upon the Board’s assessment of the expense that would be incurred as a result.

The Company will not receive any cash upon the exercise of tandem SARs. In fiscal 2004, the Company received U.S.$56.5 million as a result of the exercise of options. The Company currently has significant cash balances of approximately U.S.$600 million and generates additional cash flow through its ongoing operations. As a result, the Tandem SARs Amendment is not anticipated to adversely affect the Company’s cash resources and it should reduce dilution.

The Board believes that the implementation of the Tandem SARs Amendment is in the best interests of the Company and shareholders and unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the resolution approving the Tandem SARs Amendment. As required by the Toronto Stock Exchange, to be effective, the resolution approving the Tandem SARs Amendment must be passed by a simple majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the meeting. Unless instructed in the form of proxy to the contrary, the persons named in the accompanying form of proxy intend to vote FOR the approval of the Tandem SARs Amendment.

EQUITY PLANS

The Company has established the Option Plan, three RSU Plans and a share purchase plan (the “Share Purchase Plan”) which are designed to encourage all eligible employees, officers and directors of the Company to align their interests directly to those of shareholders and allow the Company to maintain competitive compensation programs that enable it to attract and retain employees in the high-tech sector where such compensation programs are standard. The material terms of each of the Option Plan, RSU Plans and Share Purchase Plan are described below.

      Share Option Plan

Under the Option Plan, employees and officers of the Company are eligible to receive stock options. Approximately 2,500 employees of the Company have been awarded stock options pursuant to the Option Plan (representing approximately 83% of the Company’s employees). Non-executive directors are no longer permitted to receive options and no options have been granted to non-executive directors in the past two years. Four directors currently hold an aggregate of 295,000 previously granted options.

Subject to the requirements of the Option Plan, the Board of Directors has the authority to select those employees and officers to whom options are granted, the number of options granted to each individual and the price at which the common shares may be purchased. The exercise price for purchasing common shares under the Option Plan is not less than the weighted average of the trading prices of the common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange or the NASDAQ Stock Market for the five trading days preceding the date on which the Board of Directors determines that the grant of the option is to be effective. Options vest in accordance with terms determined by the Board. The options granted pursuant to the Option Plan are not transferable and have a maximum term of seven years. Options may not be repriced without shareholder approval.

The Option Plan also provides that the number of common shares reserved for issuance and which may be issued within a one-year period, pursuant to options granted to insiders (as defined in the Securities Act (Ontario)) pursuant to the Option Plan and all other share compensation arrangements established by the Company is limited to 10% of the number of common shares issued and outstanding, excluding any common shares issued pursuant to share compensation arrangements during the immediately preceding one-year period. Furthermore, the number of common shares which may be issued within a one-year period to any one insider and such insider’s associates (as defined in the Securities Act (Ontario)) pursuant to the Option Plan and all other share compensation arrangements is limited to 5% of the number of common shares issued and outstanding, excluding any common shares issued pursuant to share compensation arrangements during the immediately preceding one-year period.

On termination of employment, for any reason except involuntary termination without cause all unvested options are forfeited and vested options may be exercised for a period of 60 days following termination. Upon involuntary termination without cause, the Company may, at its discretion, permit a participant’s options to continue to vest during any statutory or common law severance period or any period of reasonable notice required by law. Vested options may be exercised up to 60 days following such severance or notice period. Upon the death of a participant, all options immediately vest and may be exercised by the deceased participant’s estate for a period of six months following death.

A total of 8,639,607 options were granted in fiscal 2004, of which 7,421,607 options were granted to employees and 1,218,000 options were granted to officers. Overall, 25,482,958 options are currently outstanding, of which 21,390,939 are held by employees who are not officers or directors.

If the Replenishment is approved by shareholders, there will be 47,000,000 common shares (currently representing 18.7% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares) available for issuance upon the exercise of options, of which 25,482,958 are reserved to be issued pursuant to options that have already been granted (currently representing 10.1% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares). 21,517,042 common shares (currently representing 8.6% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares) will be available to be issued pursuant to the exercise of options that may be granted under the Option Plan in the future or, in certain circumstances, pursuant to the vesting of RSUs as described below.

The Option Plan is the only share compensation arrangement under which the Company may grant options. In connection with the Company’s acquisition of ArtX, Inc. (“ArtX”) in April of 2000, as part of the acquisition terms, the Company assumed all options outstanding under ArtX’s 1997 Equity Incentive Plan (the “ArtX Plan”). As at December 1, 2004, under the ArtX Plan, options to purchase 1,041,879 common shares of the Company were outstanding. No further options may be granted under the ArtX Plan.

      Restricted Share Unit Plans

In October 2003, the Company announced the adoption of plans to grant RSUs as part of the Company’s overall stock-based compensation plan. The RSU Plans allow participants to earn actual shares (or, for non-North American participants, the cash equivalent) of the Company over time, rather than options that give employees the right to purchase stock at a set price.

The RSU Plans include: a plan for Canadian employees and directors (the “Canadian Plan”), a plan for U.S. employees and directors (the “U.S. Plan”), and a plan for all other employees and directors (the “Global Plan”). In accordance with the terms of the RSU Plans, the Board of Directors approves which employees and directors are entitled to participate in the respective plan (the “participants”) and the number of RSUs to be awarded to each participant. RSUs awarded to participants are credited to an account that is established on their behalf and maintained in accordance with the respective RSU Plan. Each RSU awarded conditionally entitles the participant to the delivery of one common share (or cash in lieu of such share under the Global Plan) upon attainment of the RSU vesting period. RSUs awarded to participants vest in accordance with terms determined by the Board. RSUs are non-transferable and have a maximum term of the end of the third calendar year after the date of grant.

At last year’s annual meeting, shareholders provided the Company with the discretion to satisfy RSUs through the issuance of treasury shares and confirmed that the common shares reserved for issuance under the Option Plan may, alternatively, be issued under the RSU Plans. At the time that any RSUs are granted under the Canadian Plan and the U.S. Plan, the Board must determine whether the common shares to be delivered to participants upon the vesting of such RSUs will be purchased in the open market, issued from treasury or obtained from a combination of market purchases and treasury issuances. Under the Global Plan, the Board must determine whether participants will receive cash or treasury shares (or a combination of both) upon the vesting of RSUs. Shares from treasury are issued from the pool of common shares that are available to be issued under both the Option Plan and the RSU Plans. If the Replenishment is approved by shareholders, a maximum of 47,000,000 common shares will be available to be issued pursuant to the Option Plan and the RSU Plans, of which only a maximum of 3,000,000 common shares may be issued from treasury under the RSU Plans (currently representing 1.2% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares). Currently, none of the common shares to be delivered upon the vesting of previously granted RSUs will be issued from treasury.

The RSU Plans also provide that the number of common shares reserved for issuance and which may be issued within a one-year period, pursuant to RSUs granted to insiders (as defined in the Securities Act (Ontario)) pursuant to the RSU Plans and all other share compensation arrangements established by the Company is limited to 10% of the number of common shares issued and outstanding, excluding any common shares issued pursuant to share compensation arrangements during the immediately preceding one-year period. Furthermore, the number of common shares which may be issued within a one-year period to any one insider and such insider’s associates (as defined in the Securities Act (Ontario)) pursuant to the RSU Plans and all other share compensation arrangements is limited to 5% of the number of common shares issued and outstanding, excluding any common shares issued pursuant to share compensation arrangements during the immediately preceding one-year period.

On termination of employment for any reason, all unvested RSUs are forfeited. At the Company’s discretion, upon involuntary termination without cause, a participant’s RSUs may be permitted to continue to vest, in accordance with their terms, during any statutory or common law severance period or any period of reasonable notice required by law. Upon the death of a participant, all unvested RSUs are immediately vested and distributed to the participant’s estate.

If the common shares to be delivered upon the vesting of RSUs are purchased in the market instead of issued from treasury, under the Canadian Plan, after RSUs are awarded to participants and prior to vesting, the Company will provide funds to a trust established for the purpose of purchasing on the market, and holding in trust, common shares to be delivered to Canadian participants in exchange for RSUs once the applicable vesting period has been met. Similarly, under the U.S. Plan, the Company will provide funds to a U.S. broker, who will purchase common shares for delivery to a custodian to be held on behalf of U.S. participants pending satisfaction of the applicable RSU vesting period. Under the Global Plan, once an RSU vests, if common shares are not to be issued from treasury, the participant under the Global Plan is only entitled to receive a cash payment from the Company equal to the number of RSUs awarded to such participant multiplied by the weighted average trading price of the common shares on the NASDAQ Stock Market over the five trading days immediately preceding the relevant vesting date.

As noted in last year’s management information circular, in October 2004, the Company awarded a total of 1,556,239 RSUs to approximately 1,500 employees (representing less than 6/10 of 1% of the current issued capital of the Company) in lieu of certain option grants for fiscal 2003. Of these RSUs, 953,931 RSUs have been awarded under the Canadian Plan, 513,962 RSUs have been awarded under the U.S. Plan and 88,346 RSUs have been awarded under the Global Plan. An aggregate of 1,304,239 RSUs have been awarded to employees (excluding officers) and 252,000 RSUs have been awarded to officers. No RSUs have been awarded to members of the Board of Directors. All RSUs awarded to employees and officers vest over a period of three years, with one-third of the RSUs awarded to each employee or officer vesting on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant.

RSUs will be accounted for as a compensation expense under the fair value method of accounting.

      Share Purchase Plan

The Company established the Share Purchase Plan to provide employees with an opportunity to purchase common shares of the Company, furthering participants’ alignment with the interests of shareholders and allowing them to share in the financial success to which they contribute. Under this plan, the Company contributes $l.50 for every $9.00 contributed by an employee to acquire common shares of the Company. The Share Purchase Plan is currently available to employees in Canada and the United States.

REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The executive compensation policy of the Company is designed to remunerate the Company’s executives with compensation that is competitive in the high-tech market place in which the Company operates and sources talent, with a particular emphasis on comparable hardware and semiconductor companies. Secondary comparisons are also made to comparably-sized (considering annual revenue and total number of employees) companies across a wide range of industries to ensure the Company’s pay programs are also competitive with the broad marketplace, especially for positions recruited from outside the high-tech marketplace. The total compensation package for executives is targeted at the 67th percentile of the applicable comparator group in the country which the executive resides and is comprised of a base salary and variable (at-risk) pay consisting of short term and long term incentives.

Executives are eligible to earn annual performance-based bonuses and be granted stock options and RSUs at the sole discretion of the Company. These incentive plans are intended to motivate executives to meet and exceed individual objectives and pre-established corporate financial objectives, as well as to align the financial interests of the executives with the financial interests of the shareholders of the Company. Consistent with the high-tech market place, an emphasis is placed on variable (at-risk) long-term incentives as a means of achieving these objectives.

Executives are also eligible for Company benefits consistent with other non-officer employees. The Company does not have an employee or executive pension plan.

The Human Resources and Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) reviews and assesses the competitiveness and appropriateness of the compensation arrangements of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and President and makes a recommendation regarding this compensation package to the Board for approval. In conducting the review, the Committee considers, among other things, individual performance assessments undertaken by the Committee, the Company’s performance, the alignment with and balance between short and longer-term performance goals, the value of incentive awards paid to similar positions in comparable companies and previous incentive awards. The Committee also reviews the Chief Executive Officer and President’s recommendations regarding the compensation package of the Company’s other executive officers. The Committee uses the services of an independent external compensation consultant to review the competitiveness of compensation arrangements and to assist in the development of new compensation programs.

      Salary

Salaries for each of the Company’s executive officers is targeted at the median of the applicable comparator group. Actual salaries take into consideration the individual’s position and responsibilities in the Company, the individual’s contribution to the Company’s performance and amounts paid by companies in the same industry for comparable positions.

      Annual Bonus

As noted above, each executive officer of the Company has an opportunity to earn an annual performance bonus. Generally, the target bonus for each executive is expressed as a percentage of base salary and is commensurate with bonuses which are competitive in the industry for the position. Any bonus that is paid is based on individual performance and the achievement by the Company of specific pre-set financial metrics.

Annually, the specific financial metrics are established by the Chief Executive Officer and President for review by the Committee and, if approved at this level, are recommended for approval by the Board of Directors. In fiscal 2004, the Board of Directors approved specific earnings per share (“EPS”) targets and payout levels indicative of overall Company performance. The total annual executive bonus pool is funded proportionate to the Company’s performance relative to these financial metrics. No bonuses are paid if the Company’s performance is more than 25% below the targeted level of EPS performance. The bonus pool is increased on a pro-rated basis if the Company’s EPS performance target is exceeded, with a maximum bonus pool of 200% of the sum of target awards. The bonus payable to each executive officer, including the Chief Executive Officer and President, is based on the individual’s proportionate share of the total bonus pool subject to adjustment upward or downward by an individual performance factor reflective of the executive’s achievement of specific individual performance goals set and assessed by the Chief Executive Officer and President.

      Long Term Incentives

The Company has established the Option Plan, the RSU Plans and the Share Purchase Plan, which are designed to encourage all eligible employees, officers (including executive officers) and directors of the Company to align their interests directly with those of shareholders and to benefit shareholders by allowing the Company to attract and retain employees in the competitive high-tech sector where such compensation activities are standard. Details of the Company’s incentive plans are set out above under the heading “Equity Plans.”

The Committee is responsible for establishing and monitoring the overall policy for the Option Plan, the RSU Plans and Share Purchase Plan. This responsibility includes the consideration of proposed option and RSU grants, as required, and the making of appropriate recommendations to the Board of Directors for approval. The Committee has specific responsibility for reviewing the proposed grants of stock options and/or RSUs to executive officers of the Company.

The number of stock options and/or RSUs granted to executive officers is based upon the same performance factors as are relevant in setting the salary and annual bonus of executive officers. In addition, the amount and terms of outstanding options and RSUs are considered when determining new grants for executives and all employees.

      Chief Executive Officer’s Compensation

Mr. Ho was one of the founders of the Company in 1985 and served as its Chief Executive Officer from August 1986 to May 31, 2004. The Committee was responsible for recommending Mr. Ho’s 2004 salary, bonus and other share based awards. Mr. Ho elected to receive a salary significantly below levels paid to other chief executive officers in the industry. For fiscal 2004, Mr. Ho’s bonus was based on the same level of achievement of the same EPS target set for all of the executive officers. Based on the level of achievement of the Company, Mr. Ho was awarded a bonus of U.S.$262,850 for fiscal 2004.

Mr. Orton has served as the Company’s President since April 2000 and was appointed as Chief Executive Officer on June 1, 2004. The Committee is responsible for recommending Mr. Orton’s salary, bonus and any stock options or other share based equity awards. Following a comprehensive review with an independent external compensation consultant, the Committee increased Mr. Orton’s salary from U.S.$350,000 to U.S.$500,000 effective upon his appointment as Chief Executive Officer. This new salary level is between the 50th and 67th percentiles of the selected comparator group consisting of select U.S. technology companies, primarily in the semi-conductor industry.

Effective upon his appointment as Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Orton became eligible for an increase in his target bonus level as a percentage of base salary. For fiscal 2004, Mr. Orton’s target bonus was pro-rated to reflect the portions of the year during which he was appointed as the Chief Operating Officer and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Orton’s bonus is based on the achievement of the same EPS target set for all executive officers. Based on the corporate performance factor, which significantly exceeded the EPS target, as well as the Committee’s assessment of individual performance objectives, Mr. Orton was awarded a bonus of U.S.$641,000 for fiscal 2004.

– 20 –

Page 25 of 61


The Committee also granted 250,000 stock options to Mr. Orton upon his appointment as Chief Executive Officers. The size of the stock option grant considered a number of factors, including Mr. Orton’s appointment as Chief Executive Officer, the amount and value of compensation provided to Mr. Orton in the past, including stock options and other long-term incentives, Mr. Orton’s current level of shareholdings and the amount of options available for grant to all employees under the Option Plan.

Under incentive arrangements implemented in 2002, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President, among others, participates in a performance-based incentive which was conditional upon the Company being successful in entering into specified business arrangements with a third party during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2003. The Committee believes that achievement of certain pre-determined milestones relating to the third party arrangements is consistent with the long-term objectives of the Company. The incentive payable to Mr. Orton consists of (i) cash payments of U.S.$934,037 payable upon achievement of each of three specified milestones (relating to the third party arrangements) over an estimated period of three years, and (ii) options to purchase up to 350,211 common shares of the Company granted under the Option Plan at an exercise price of U.S.$6.96 per share. During fiscal 2003, the Company successfully entered into the third party arrangements and, as a result, the first of the three potential incentive payments was made and the options became exercisable subject to vesting requirements. No incentive payments were made during fiscal 2004 in respect of this arrangement.

The foregoing Report on Executive Compensation was submitted by the members of the Committee – John Caldwell, Paul Russo and James Fleck.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

In 2003, Directors’ compensation was reviewed in the context of best practices in order to better align director interests with shareholder interests. A competitive benchmark analysis on directors’ compensation for high-tech companies in both Canada and the United States was completed with an independent consulting firm. As a result of the review, it was determined that compensation for directors of the Company should be targeted at the 50th percentile of the U.S. technology comparator group. In 2004, the Board reviewed and confirmed the following annual compensation package for non-management directors that was first implemented in 2003:

Board Member Retainer: $25,000 per annum and 6,500 deferred share units (“DSUs”, described below)
Committee Member Retainer: $3,000 per annum
Board and Committee Meeting Fee: $1,500
Lead Director Retainer: $25,000 and 1,625 DSUs
Audit Committee Chair Retainer: $7,500
Other Committee Chair Retainer: $3,000
Initial Award for New Directors: 3,250 DSUs

The cash portion of retainers and fees is payable in the currency of the director’s country of residence. Related expenses incurred by directors are reimbursed by the Company. The annual compensation package for directors is reviewed on an annual basis.

The deferred share unit plan (the “DSU Plan”) has been established for non-management directors. A DSU is a unit equivalent in value to one common share of the Company based on the five day average trading price of the Company’s common shares on the NASDAQ Stock Market (the “Weighted Average Price”) immediately prior to the date on which the value of the DSU is determined. DSUs may not be redeemed until such time as the director leaves the Board, thereby providing an ongoing equity stake in the Company throughout the director’s period of Board service. On termination or retirement from the Board, the director will be unable to redeem DSUs during the six month period following their departure from the Board. DSUs must however, be redeemed within the maximum time period allowed by Canada Revenue Agency (i.e., by the end of December in the year following the year of departure from the Board). Upon redemption, the Company will make a cash payment equal to the number of DSUs held multiplied by the Weighted Average Price as of the redemption date. No common shares are issuable or may be acquired by directors under the DSU Plan.

The initial DSU award for newly appointed directors noted above is in addition to the annual DSU retainer and is subject to a one year vesting requirement. Annual retainers in the form of DSUs will be pro-rated for directors appointed between annual meetings, based upon the number of months of service during the twelve months ending January 31.

Non-executive directors are no longer permitted to receive options and no options have been granted to non-executive directors in the past two years. Four directors currently hold an aggregate of 295,000 previously granted options.

To further ensure that directors’ compensation is aligned with shareholders’ equity, share ownership guidelines have been adopted. Directors are required to own at least U.S.$350,000 in Company shares and/or DSUs. For purposes of these guidelines, the value of the shares or DSUs will be based on the higher of current market value and the acquisition value. To facilitate the establishment of these ownership guidelines, current directors and subsequently any new directors will be allowed to accumulate the requisite amount of Company shares and/or DSUs over a three year period. Once the ownership guidelines have been met, the director will have the option to receive their annual DSU grant in RSUs issued under the Company’s RSU Plans.

DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS INSURANCE

Directors and officers are insured against liability in their capacity as directors and officers under coverage maintained by the Company. The total coverage has a liability limit of U.S.$30,000,000 comprised of U.S.$10,000,000 of primary coverage and U.S.$20,000,000 in excess coverage with a deductible of U.S.$10,000,000 (each loss). During fiscal 2004, the annualized premium was approximately U.S.$2,100,000. No amount of the premium is paid by the directors or officers.

STATEMENT OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

In fiscal 2003, the Company undertook a significant review of its corporate governance policies and practices. This review resulted in the adoption and implementation of a number of initiatives, including:

    a written mandate for the Board of Directors (the “Board Mandate”);

    a set of corporate governance guidelines (the “Governance Guidelines”);

    a written mandate for the Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee Mandate”);

    a charter for the Governance and Nominations Committee (the “Governance and Nominations Committee Charter”); and

    a Code of Ethics.

The Company’s new governance policies and practices were noted in the September 2004 Globe and Mail annual review of corporate governance practices, which recognized the Company as one of the top five “most improved” companies from the year before.

During 2004, the Company continued to build on the strong governance foundation built in 2003 by continuing to review its policies and procedures with a view to adopting best practices where appropriate. In this regard, in fiscal 2004, the Board of Directors adopted:

    a revised corporate disclosure policy;

    revised stock trading guidelines;

    a revised charter for the Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee Charter”) (attached as Schedule E); and

    policies on the pre-approval of non-audit services and the treatment of complaints.

In 2004, Dr. Fleck, in his capacity as lead director, undertook an assessment of the Board, its committees and individual directors as further described under the heading “Governance and Nominations Committee” below.

The Company is subject to many provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”) and related rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, rules of the Canadian Securities Administrators regarding audit committees and the certification of certain annual and interim filings (the “CSA Rules”) and the governance standards of the NASDAQ stock market (the “NASDAQ Rules”). The Company is also subject to the corporate governance guidelines set out in The Toronto Stock Exchange Company Manual (the “TSX Guidelines”). The Company’s annual disclosure of its approach to corporate governance with references to the TSX Guidelines is set out in Schedule F. It should be noted that the Canadian Securities Administrators have published proposed corporate governance guidelines and disclosure requirements that will, once finalized, replace the TSX Guidelines; at the time of printing of this Circular however, these proposals were not yet finalized. The Company continues to review its corporate governance policies and practices in view of these proposals and to reflect best practices.

BOARD AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS

The Board of Directors meets regularly to review the business operations and financial results of the Company. Meetings of the Board of Directors include regular meetings with management to review and discuss specific aspects of the operations of the Company. Dr. Fleck, an unrelated and independent director, serves as lead director of the Board. As the lead director, Dr. Fleck chairs all meetings and reviews the agenda for each Board meeting with management. The Board of Directors also functions independent of management by holding in camera executive sessions without management present at scheduled quarterly meetings. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2004, the number of Board and committee meetings held and the attendance of directors at these meetings was as follows:

The Board of Directors is ultimately responsible for supervising the management of the business and affairs of the Company and, in doing so, is required to act in the best interests of the Company. The Board of Directors generally discharges its responsibilities either directly or through the Audit Committee, Human Resources and Compensation Committee and the Governance and Nominations Committee. Specific responsibilities of the Board of Directors set out in the Board Mandate include:

    Appointing Management – including final approval of all senior management appointments and their compensation and the oversight of succession planning programs;

    Strategic Planning – including the review and approval of the Company’s business, financial and strategic plans;

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE GUIDELINES

To enhance the Company’s commitment to maintaining a high standard of corporate governance, the Board of Directors adopted the Governance Guidelines in fiscal 2003. These Governance Guidelines assist the Board with respect to meeting the Company’s corporate governance responsibilities. Among other things, the Governance Guidelines address the following matters:

    Board Organization and Membership – including a lead director requirement, requirements for a minimum number of unrelated non-management directors and a prohibition on retaining unrelated directors for consulting services without Board pre-approval;

– 25 –

Page 30 of 61


    Board Committees – including independence and financial literacy requirements for the Audit Committee and a requirement for a majority of independent directors on all other standing committees;

    Board Meetings – including a requirement that the directors meet in camera without management or management directors present at each scheduled quarterly Board meeting;

    Board’s Relationship with Management – including a requirement for the Board to establish general authority guidelines that place limits on management’s approval authority;

    Director Responsibilities and Performance – including the assessment of the overall performance and effectiveness of the Board and each committee on an annual basis; and

    Ethics and Conflicts of Interest – including a general prohibition from permitting any waiver of the Company’s ethics policies with respect to any director or executive officer.

CODE OF ETHICS

In fiscal 2003, the Company adopted a Code of Ethics that complies with the requirements of the NASDAQ Rules and is applicable to all of the Company’s directors, officers, employees, contractors and consultants. The Code of Ethics generally outlines standards of conduct that must be met in the carrying out of one’s employment with the Company including: (i) guidelines on the acceptance or offering of monetary compensation, gratuities or other advantages in the conduct of business; (ii) guidelines relating to dealings with public officials; and (iii) prohibitions on the inappropriate gathering of competitive information. The Code of Ethics also provides detailed guidelines with respect to the identification and declaration of conflicts of interest, the protection of proprietary information and the appropriate use of the Company’s computer and communications systems. The Governance and Nominations Committee monitors compliance with the Code of Ethics and approves all waivers from the Code of Ethics that are granted to employees. To date, no such waivers have been granted. The Audit Committee monitors complaints regarding accounting, internal controls or auditing matters.

BOARD COMMITTEES

Currently, each of the Audit Committee, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee and the Governance and Nominations Committee are composed of outside directors all of whom are considered to be “unrelated” and “independent” as determined under the TSX Guidelines, the CSA Rules, SOX and the NASDAQ Rules, with the exception of Dr. Chwang who serves on the Governance and Nominations Committee. Dr. Chwang is an outside director but is not considered to be independent under the NASDAQ Rules by virtue of his family relationship by marriage to an officer of the Company.

      Audit Committee

Currently, the members of the Audit Committee are Messrs. Horn (Chair), Fleck, Caldwell and Young. The Audit Committee has direct communication channels with the Company’s internal finance department to review issues as appropriate and meets directly with the external auditors of the Company on a regular basis. In December 2004, the Board adopted the Audit Committee Charter which complies with certain of the CSA Rules that will apply to the Company in January 2005. A copy of the Audit Committee Charter is attached as Schedule E. The Audit Committee Charter outlines, among other things, the mandate of the Audit Committee to:

    oversee the integrity of the Company’s financial statements and financial reporting process;

    oversee the qualifications and independence of the Company’s external auditors;

     oversee the scope of the annual audit plan;  

    oversee the work of the Company’s financial officers and executives, internal auditors and external auditors; and

    provide an open avenue of communication between the external auditors, the Board and management.

– 26 –

Page 31 of 61


In accordance with the NASDAQ Rules and the CSA Rules, each of the members of the audit committee are “financially literate.” Mr. Horn and Mr. Caldwell, both of whom are Chartered Accountants, are each considered to be a “financial expert”. Each member of the Audit Committee has the ability to perform his responsibilities as an Audit Committee member based on their education and/or experience as summarized below:

  Mr. Horn (Chairman) - Chartered Accountant;
Chief Financial Officer of Rogers Communications Inc.
  Mr. Caldwell - Chartered Accountant;

  Mr. Young - Director and chair of the audit committee of Tessera Technologies Inc.; Former Managing Director in Corporate Finance, Dillon, Read & Co.

The Board, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee, has adopted a written policy on auditor independence (the “Policy”). Under the Policy, except in very limited circumstances, all audit and permitted non-audit services are required to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee. The Policy prohibits the auditors from providing the following types of non-audit services:

    bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Company;

    financial information systems design and implementation;

    appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinion, or contribution-in-kind reports;

    actuarial services;

    internal audit outsourcing services;

    management functions or human resources services;

    broker or dealer, investment advisor or investment banking services on behalf of the Company; and

    legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit.

The Policy also permits the auditors to provide other types of non-audit services, including tax services, but only if approved in advance by the Audit Committee, subject to limited exceptions.

      Human Resources and Compensation Committee

Currently, the members of the Human Resources and Compensation Committee are Messrs. Caldwell (Chair), Fleck and Russo. Among other things, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee reviewed the remuneration of the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President and all Senior Vice-Presidents who report directly to the Chief Executive Officer and President; reviewed and made recommendations concerning the operation of the Company’s Option Plan, RSU Plans and Share Purchase Plan. During fiscal 2003, the Board adopted the Human Resources and Compensation Committee Mandate which outlines, among other things, the responsibilities of the Human Resources and Compensation Committee with respect to reviewing and making recommendations on the Company’s compensation strategy, policies and process; reviewing annually the competitiveness and appropriateness of the compensation package for the Chief Executive Officer and other key senior management employees; assessing the insurance policy for directors and officers; reviewing succession plans relating to the position of Chief Executive Officer and other senior positions; administering the share based compensation plans; recommending compensation for directors; and annually preparing the Report on Executive Compensation that is disclosed in the annual management information circular prepared in connection with the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders. The Human Resources and Compensation Committee is also responsible for reviewing management’s policies and practices to ensure compliance with the prohibition contained in SOX with respect to the making of or arranging for personal loans to directors and senior officers.

      Governance and Nominations Committee

Currently, the members of the Governance and Nominations Committee are Messrs. Fleck (Chair), Chwang and Caldwell. Generally, the Governance and Nominations Committee oversees and assesses the functioning of the Board and the committees of the Board and identifies and recommends qualified director candidates for election to the Board. During fiscal 2003, the Board adopted the Governance and Nominations Committee Charter which outlines, among other things, the responsibilities of the Governance and Nominations Committee with respect to identifying and recommending qualified director nominees to the Board; annually reviewing and revising the Company’s approach to governance issues; reviewing the Code of Ethics; and periodically reviewing management’s systems and practices for filing of insider reports in connection with trading in the Company’s securities. The Governance and Nominations Committee is also responsible for conducting an annual assessment of the effectiveness of the Board and each committee of the Board; conducting an annual evaluation of the Chair of the Board and the Chair of each committee; and overseeing orientation programs for new directors.

In 2004, Mr. Fleck, as Lead Director, undertook an evaluation of the Board and its committees. Mr. Fleck distributed a questionnaire regarding Board and Committee Effectiveness to each Board member. He then received and reviewed the responses confidentially with each Board member. Based on the questionnaire responses and feedback, Mr. Fleck prepared a report to the Board. This was the first such formal assessment undertaken by the Board and the intent is to expand the nature and scope of the assessment in subsequent years.

SCHEDULE A

SUMMARY COMPARISON OF DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE OBCA AND CBCA

The CBCA provides shareholders substantially the same rights as are available to shareholders under the OBCA, including rights of dissent and appraisal, and rights to bring derivative actions and oppression actions. However, there are certain differences between the two statutes and the regulations made thereunder. The following is a summary of certain differences between the OBCA and CBCA which management of the Company considers to be material to shareholders. This summary is not an exhaustive review of the two statutes. Reference should be made to the full text of both statutes and the regulations thereunder for particulars of any differences between them, and shareholders should consult their legal or other professional advisors with regard to the implications of the Continuance which may be of importance to them.

Director Residency Requirements. Under the OBCA, a majority of a company’s directors must be resident Canadians. Under the CBCA, subject to certain exceptions which do not currently apply to the Company, at least 25% of a company’s directors must be resident Canadians.

Residency Requirements for Committee Members. The OBCA requires that a majority of the members of a committee of directors must be resident Canadians. The CBCA does not have any residency requirements for members of committees of the board of directors.

Independent Directors. Under the OBCA, at least one third of the members of the board of directors of a company cannot be officers or employees of the company or its affiliates. Under the CBCA, the requirement is that at least two of the directors of the company not be officers or employees of the company or its affiliates. If the Continuance is approved and the Company is continued under the CBCA, the Company will continue to maintain a board of directors with a majority of independent members in accordance with the rules and policies of applicable Canadian and U.S. securities regulators and stock exchanges. Similarly, the Company’s Audit Committee will continue to be comprised solely of independent board members.

Quorum of Directors’ Meetings. Both the CBCA and OBCA state that quorum of directors meetings consists of a majority of directors or the minimum number of directors required by the articles, although the OBCA also stipulates that in no case may a quorum be less than two-fifths of the number of directors or the minimum number of directors. Further, while the OBCA requires that a majority of the directors present be resident Canadians, the CBCA generally requires only that 25% of the directors present (or at least one if less than four directors are appointed) be resident Canadians.

Place of Shareholders’ Meetings. Under the OBCA, a shareholders’ meeting may be held at such place in or outside Ontario (including outside Canada) as the directors may determine. Under the CBCA, a shareholders’ meeting may be held at any place in Canada provided in the by-laws or, in the absence of such provision, at a place within Canada that the directors determine. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a meeting of shareholders of a CBCA company may be held at a place outside Canada if such place is specified in the articles of the company.

Solicitation of Proxies. Under the OBCA, a person who solicits proxies, other than by or on behalf of management of the company, must send a dissident’s proxy circular in prescribed form to the auditor of the company, to each shareholder whose proxy is solicited and to the company. Under the CBCA, proxies may be solicited, other than by or on behalf of management of the company, without the sending of a dissident’s proxy circular if (i) proxies are solicited from fifteen (15) or fewer shareholders, or (ii) the solicitation is conveyed by public broadcast, speech or publication containing certain of the information that would be required to be included in a dissident’s proxy circular. Furthermore, under the CBCA, the definition of “solicit” and “solicitation” specifically excludes (i) certain public announcements by a shareholder of how he or she intends to vote and the reasons for that decision, (ii) communications for the purpose of obtaining the number of shares required for a shareholder proposal, and (iii) certain other communications made other than by or on behalf of management of the company, including communications by one or more shareholders concerning the business and affairs of the company or the organization of a dissident’s proxy solicitation where no form of proxy is sent by or on behalf of such shareholders; communications by financial and other advisers in the ordinary course of business to shareholders who are their clients; or by any person who does not seek directly or indirectly the power to act as proxy for a shareholder.

Record Date for Shareholders’ Meetings. Under the OBCA, where a company fixes a record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote at a shareholders’ meeting and a shareholder transfers shares after the record date, the transferee of such shares is entitled to vote such shares at the meeting if the transferee establishes that he or she owns the shares and demands, not later than ten (10) days before the meeting, that his or her name be included in the list of shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting. If no record date is fixed and a list of shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting is prepared as of the date (the “deemed record date”) preceding the date on which notice of the meeting is given, a transferee of shares after the deemed record date is entitled to vote such shares under similar circumstances. Under the CBCA, shareholders are entitled to vote only shares held by them on the record date or the deemed record date, as the case may be. Transferees of shares after the record date or the deemed record date, as the case may be, are not entitled to vote the transferred shares at the meeting.

Notice of Shareholders’ Meetings. Under the OBCA, a public company must give notice of a meeting of shareholders not less than twenty-one (21) days and not more than fifty (50) days before the meeting. Under the CBCA, such notice must be provided not less than twenty-one (21) days and not more than sixty (60) days before the meeting. However, public companies incorporated under either statute are currently subject to the requirements of National Instrument 54-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators which provides for minimum notice periods of greater than the minimum twenty-one (21) day period in either statute.

Telephonic or Electronic Meetings. Under the OBCA, unless a company’s articles or by-laws provide otherwise, meetings of shareholders may be held by telephonic or electronic means and shareholders may participate in and vote at the meeting by such means. Similarly, under the CBCA, unless the articles or by-laws of the company provide otherwise, a meeting of shareholders’ may be held by telephonic or electronic means (and shareholders may participate in and vote at the meeting by such means) if the company provides shareholders with a telephonic, electronic or other means of communication that permits all participants to communicate adequately with each other during the meeting. In addition, under the CBCA, if the company’s by-laws so provide, a meeting of shareholders may be held entirely by such means. The Company’s by-laws following the continuance (including the proposed new general by-laws) will not permit a meeting of shareholders to be held entirely by such means.

Shareholder Proposals. Under the OBCA, a shareholder entitled to vote at a shareholders’ meeting may submit a shareholder proposal relating to matters which the shareholder wishes to propose at a shareholders meeting. Under the CBCA, shareholder proposals may be submitted by both registered and beneficial owners of shares entitled to be voted at an annual meeting of shareholders, provided that (i) the shareholder must have been registered or beneficial owner, for at least six months prior to the submission of the proposal, of voting shares at least equal to one percent of the total number of outstanding voting shares of the company or whose fair market value is at least $2,000, or (ii) the proposal must have the support of persons who in the aggregate have been the registered or beneficial owner of such number of voting shares for such period.

Access to Information. Shareholders under the CBCA have a right of access to the minutes of meetings at which directors make mandatory disclosure of material interests in transactions and contracts that involve the company. There is no similar provision in the OBCA.

Financial Assistance. Under the OBCA, disclosure is required to be made to shareholders of financial assistance given by a company (i) in connection within the purchase of shares of the company or its affiliates, or (ii) to shareholders, beneficial shareholders, directors, officers or employees of the company, an affiliate of the company, or an associate of any of them. There is no similar provision in the CBCA. However, regulations under each of the CBCA and the Securities Act (Ontario) prescribe disclosure of certain financial assistance other than routine indebtedness to directors, executive officers and senior officers in proxy circulars.

Registered Office. Under the OBCA, a company’s registered office must be in Ontario and may be relocated to a different municipality only with shareholder approval. Under the CBCA, a company’s registered office may be at any place in Canada specified in the articles and may be relocated within a province by resolution of the directors. Following the Continuance, the registered office of the Company will continue to be in Ontario.

Corporate Records. The OBCA and related Ontario statutes require records to be kept in Ontario. The CBCA permits corporate and accounting records to be kept outside of Canada, although there are still requirements to keep records and books of account within Canada under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and other statutes administered by the Minister of National Revenue (such as the Excise Tax Act). Companies are also required to provide access to their records kept outside Canada at a location in Canada, by computer terminal or other technology.

SCHEDULE B

DISSENT RIGHTS

A registered shareholder of the Company is entitled to dissent from the Continuance in the manner provided in Section 185 of the OBCA. Section 185 of the OBCA is reprinted in its entirety in Schedule C to this Circular. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of Section 185 of the OBCA.

The procedure to be followed by shareholders who intend to dissent from the special resolution approving the Continuance and who wish to require the Company to acquire their shares and pay them the fair value thereof, determined as of the close of business on the day before the special resolution is adopted, is set out in section 185 of the OBCA.

Section 185 provides that a shareholder may only make such a claim with respect to all the shares of a class held by him on behalf of any one beneficial owner and registered in the shareholder’s name. One consequence of this provision is that a shareholder may only exercise the right to dissent under section 185 in respect of shares which are registered in that shareholder’s name. In many cases, shares beneficially owned by a person (a “Non-Registered Holder”) are registered either: (a) in the name of an intermediary that the Non-Registered Holder deals with in respect of the shares (such as banks, trust companies, securities dealers and brokers, trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans, and their nominees); or (b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as The Canadian Depositary for Securities Limited (“CDS”)) of which the intermediary is a participant. Accordingly, a Non-Registered Holder will not be entitled to exercise the right to dissent under section 185 directly (unless the shares are re-registered in the Non-Registered Holder’s name). A Non-Registered Holder who wishes to exercise the right to dissent should immediately contact the intermediary who the Non-Registered Holder deals with in respect of the shares and either: (i) instruct the intermediary to exercise the right to dissent on the Non-Registered Holder’s behalf (which, if the shares are registered in the name of CDS or other clearing agency, would require that the share first be re-registered in the name of the intermediary); or (ii) instruct the intermediary to re-register the shares in the name of the Non-Registered Holder, in which case the Non-Registered Holder would have to exercise the right to dissent directly.

A registered shareholder who wishes to invoke the provisions of section 185 of the OBCA must send to the Company a written objection to the Special Resolution (the “Notice of Dissent”) at or before the time fixed for the shareholders meeting at which the Special Resolution is to be voted on. The Notice of Dissent must be sent to the Company at 1 Commerce Valley Drive East, Markham, Ontario, L3T 7X6, Attention: Corporate Secretary (Fax: (905) 709-6950). The sending of a Notice of Dissent does not deprive a registered shareholder of his right to vote on the Special Resolution but a vote either in person or by proxy against the Special Resolution does not constitute a Notice of Dissent. A vote in favour of the Special Resolution will deprive the registered shareholder of further rights under section 185 of the OBCA.

Within 10 days after the adoption of the Special Resolution by the shareholders, the Company is required to notify in writing each shareholder who has filed a Notice of Dissent and has not voted for the Special Resolution or withdrawn his objection (a “Dissenting Shareholder”) that the Special Resolution has been adopted. This notice of adoption of the Special Resolution will set out the rights of the Dissenting Shareholder and procedure to be followed. A Dissenting Shareholder shall, within 20 days after he receives notice of adoption of the Special Resolution or, if he does not receive such notice, within 20 days after he learns that the Special Resolution has been adopted, send to the Company a written notice (the “Demand for Payment”) containing his name and address, the number and class of shares in respect of which he dissents, and a demand for payment of the fair value of such shares. Within 30 days after sending his Demand for Payment, the Dissenting Shareholder shall send the certificates representing the shares in respect of which he dissents to the Company or its transfer agent. The Company or its transfer agent shall endorse on the share certificates notice that the holder thereof is a Dissenting Shareholder under section 185 of the OBCA and shall forthwith return the share certificates to the Dissenting Shareholder.

If a Dissenting Shareholder fails to send the Notice of Dissent, the Demand for Payment or his share certificates, he has no right to make a claim under section 185 of the OBCA.

After sending a Demand for Payment, a Dissenting Shareholder ceases to have any rights as a holder of the shares in respect of which he has dissented other than the right to be paid the fair value of such shares as determined under section 185 of the OBCA, unless: (i) the Dissenting Shareholder withdraws his Demand for Payment before the Company makes a written offer to pay (the “Offer to Pay”); (ii) the Company fails to make a timely Offer to Pay to the Dissenting Shareholder and the Dissenting Shareholder withdraws his Demand for Payment; or (iii) the directors of the Company revoke the Special Resolution relating to the Continuance, in all of which cases the Dissenting Shareholder’s rights as a shareholder are reinstated.

Page 37 of 61


Not later than seven days after the later of the effective date of the Continuance and the day the Company receives the Demand for Payment, the Company shall send, to each Dissenting Shareholder who has sent a Demand for Payment, an Offer to Pay for the shares of the Dissenting Shareholder in respect of which he has dissented in an amount considered by the directors of the Company to be the fair value thereof, accompanied by a statement showing how the fair value was determined. Every Offer to Pay made to Dissenting Shareholders for shares of the same class shall be on the same terms. The amount specified in an Offer to Pay which has been accepted by a Dissenting Shareholder shall be paid by the Company within 10 days of the acceptance, but an Offer to Pay lapses if the Company has not received an acceptance thereof within 30 days after the Offer to Pay has been made.

If an Offer to Pay is not made by the Company or if a Dissenting Shareholder fails to accept an Offer to Pay, the Company may, within 50 days after the effective date of the Continuance or within such further period as a court may allow, apply to the court to fix a fair value for the shares of any Dissenting Shareholder. If the Company fails to so apply to the court, a Dissenting Shareholder may apply to the Ontario Court (General Division) (the “court”) for the same purpose within a further period of 20 days or within such further period as the court may allow. A Dissenting Shareholder is not required to give security for costs in any application to the court.

Before making application to the court or not later than 7 days after receiving notice of an application to the court by a Dissenting Shareholder, the Company shall give to each Dissenting Shareholder who has sent to the Company a Demand for Payment and has not accepted an Offer to Pay, notice of the date, place and consequences of the application and of his right to appear and be heard in person or by counsel. A similar notice shall be given to each Dissenting Shareholder who, after the date of the first mentioned notice and before termination of the proceedings commenced by the application, sends the Company a Demand for Payment and does not accept an Offer to Pay, such notice to be sent within 3 days thereafter. All such Dissenting Shareholders shall be joined as parties to any such application to the court to fix a fair value for their shares and shall be bound by the decision rendered by the court in the proceedings commenced by such application. Upon an application to the court by the Company or Dissenting Shareholder, the court is authorized to determine whether any other person is a Dissenting Shareholder who should be joined as a party to such application and shall fix a fair value for the shares of all Dissenting Shareholders. The court may in its discretion appoint one or more appraisers to assist the court in fixing a fair value for the shares of the Dissenting Shareholders and may allow a reasonable rate of interest on the amount payable to each Dissenting Shareholder from the effective date of the Continuance until the date of payment of the amount ordered by the court. The final order of the court in the proceedings commenced by an application by the Company or a Dissenting Shareholder shall be rendered against the Company and in favour of each Dissenting Shareholder who, whether before or after the date of the order, sends the Company a Demand for Payment and does not accept an Offer to Pay. The cost of any application to a court by the Company or a Dissenting Shareholder will be in the discretion of the court. Where, however, the Company fails to make an Offer to Pay, the costs of the application by a Dissenting Shareholder are to be borne by the Company unless the court otherwise orders.

The above is only a summary of the dissenting shareholder provisions of the OBCA, which are technical and complex. It is suggested that a shareholder of the Company wishing to exercise a right to dissent should seek legal advice, as failure to comply strictly with the provisions of the OBCA may result in the loss or unavailability of the right to dissent.

SCHEDULE E

ATI TECHNOLOGIES INC.
AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

PURPOSE

This Audit Committee (the “Committee”) Charter (the “Charter”) has been adopted by the board of Directors (the “Board”) of ATI Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) to provide parameters within which the Committee is to assist the Board in fulfilling its public company obligations. In this regard, the overall mandate of the Committee is to:

    oversee the integrity of the Company’s financial statements and financial reporting process, including the audit process and the Company’s internal accounting controls and procedures and compliance with related legal and regulatory requirements;

    oversee the qualifications and independence of the Independent Auditors engaged for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review or attest services for the Company;

    oversee the work of the Company’s financial officers and executives (“Management”), Internal Audit function (“Internal Auditors”) (under the responsibility of the Head of Internal Audit) and Independent Auditors; and

    provide an open avenue of communication between the Independent Auditors, the Internal Auditors, the Board and Management.

RESPONSIBILITY OF MANAGEMENT, THE INTERNAL AUDITORS
AND THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation and integrity of the Company’s financial statements and related disclosure in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Management is also responsible for the design and effective operation of a system of internal controls that provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded, that transactions are properly authorized, recorded and reported, and that financial statements and related disclosure are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations.

The Internal Auditors are responsible for, among other things, evaluating the adequacy and effectiveness of the system of internal controls.

The Independent Auditors are responsible for expressing an opinion based upon their audit of the Company’s annual financial statements, as to whether such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In addition, the Independent Auditors are responsible for the planning, performance and reporting on other audit, review or attest services for the Company, as required by applicable laws and regulations, and as required by the Committee. This includes, for example, an engagement to provide an attestation report on Management’s assessment of internal controls over financial reporting (as required by section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002).

Absent actual knowledge to the contrary (which shall be promptly reported to the Board), each member of the Committee shall be entitled to rely on (i) the integrity of those persons or organizations within and outside the Company from which it receives information, (ii) the accuracy of the financial and other information provided to the Committee by such persons or organizations and (iii) representations made by Management and the Independent Auditors as to any services provided by the Independent Auditors to the Company.

In carrying out its responsibility, it is recognized that Management and the Independent Auditors have more resources and time and more detailed knowledge and information regarding the Company’s accounting, auditing, internal control and financial reporting practices than is available to the Committee. It is not the responsibility of the Committee to plan or conduct audits, to determine that the Company’s financial statements are complete and accurate and are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or to conduct other types of auditing or accounting reviews or similar procedures or investigations.

SCHEDULE F

COMPLIANCE WITH TSX GUIDELINES

The TSX Guidelines are intended to assist listed companies in their approach to corporate governance. The TSX Guidelines address matters such as the constitution of the Board of Directors and the functions to be performed by the Board. Pursuant to the TSX Guidelines, listed companies must annually disclose their approach to corporate governance. The following chart summarizes the Company’s corporate governance practices with reference to the TSX Guidelines.

         
TSX Corporate Governance Guideline   Does the
Company
comply?
  Comments  
  
1. The Board should explicitly assume responsibility for stewardship of the Company.   YES   In fiscal 2003, the Board adopted a written Board Mandate, described in more detail in the Circular under the heading “Statement of Corporate Governance Practices - Board Mandate”, which clearly outlines its duties and responsibilities in respect of the stewardship of the Company. The Board also acts in accordance with the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), the Company’s constating documents and all other applicable laws and Company policies. The Board discharges its stewardship responsibilities, in part, by reviewing, discussing and approving the Company’s strategic planning and organizational structure (i.e., overseeing corporate performance) and supervising management. The Board approves all significant decisions that affect the Company before they are implemented and then monitors the results of such decisions.  
  
As part of the overall stewardship responsibility, the Board should assume responsibility for the following matters:
  
(a) adoption of a strategic planning process;
  YES   Pursuant to the Board Mandate, the Board is charged with the responsibility to oversee the Company’s strategic planning process and directly participates in reviewing and approving the objectives and goals of the Company’s business. The Board is also responsible for reviewing the business, financial and strategic plans developed by management in order to reach the Company’s objectives and goals. At least one Board meeting each year is dedicated to the review and approval of the Company’s strategic plan. The Board reviews the Company’s performance against the strategic plan at least quarterly. As soon as is practical, management must advise the Board of any development that would have a significant impact on the strategic plan.  
  
(b) the identification of the principal risks of the Company’s business and ensuring the implementation of appropriate systems to manage these risks;   YES   Under the Board Mandate, the Board is responsible for identifying the principal risks of the Company’s business and ensuring the implementation of appropriate systems to effectively monitor and manage these risks with a view to achieving a proper balance between the risks incurred and the potential return to the Company’s shareholders. The principal risks of the Company’s business are outlined in detail in the Company’s Annual Information Form. The Audit Committee, on behalf of the Board, reviews reports from the internal and external auditor with respect to significant financial risk areas and the Company’s internal controls and financial reporting systems.

TSX Corporate Governance Guideline   Does the
Company
comply?
  Comments  
  
(c) succession planning, including appointing, training and monitoring senior management;   YES   The Human Resources and Compensation Committee Mandate provides that the Human Resources and Compensation Committee will periodically review with the Chief Executive Officer and President the succession plans relating to senior management positions and will make recommendations to the Board with respect to the selection of individuals to occupy these positions. The Human Resources and Compensation Committee also reviews and revises the position descriptions and performance goals for certain senior management and evaluates the performance of these officers against such descriptions and goals. The Board encourages senior management to participate in professional and personal development activities, courses and programs.  
  
(d) a communications policy for the Company; and   YES   The Board of Directors requires that the Company maintain an active investor relations program and all shareholder and investment community inquiries are directed, in the first instance, to the Director of Investor Relations. The Board or the Audit Committee approves all of the Company’s continuous disclosure communications, including annual and quarterly reports. The Board has also adopted a Corporate Disclosure Policy which comprehensively addresses the dissemination of corporate information. In this regard, the Corporate Disclosure Policy establishes a Disclosure Committee to ensure the timely and accurate disclosure of all material corporate information and also addresses matters such as communications with analysts.  
  
(e) the integrity of the Company’s internal control and management information systems.   YES   The Audit Committee monitors the Company’s internal controls and management information systems through reports from management and the internal and external auditors. The Audit Committee reviews and approves all financial statements prior to release and receives detailed financial information quarterly or more often, if required. The Audit Committee also directly consults the Company’s auditors periodically with respect to the Company’s financial disclosure and internal financial controls.  
  
2. The Board should be constituted with a majority of individuals who qualify as unrelated directors. An unrelated director is a director who is independent of management and is free from any interest and any business or other relationship that could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the director’s ability to act with a view to the best interests of the Company, other than interests arising from shareholding.   YES   At August 31, 2004, the Board was composed of seven members. The Board has concluded that, under the TSX Guidelines, five of the seven (or 71%) members of the Board of Directors are unrelated and independent. The Board believes that the interests of minority shareholders in the Company are fairly reflected in the composition of the Board.

3. The Board is required to disclose on an annual basis the analysis of the application of the principles supporting the conclusions in item 2 above.   YES   In determining independence, the Governance and Nominations Committee considers and analyzes all of the relationships, if any, between each of the directors and the Company and its subsidiaries. Mr. Ho and Dr. Chwang were the only members of the Board during fiscal 2004 who were not unrelated directors under the TSX Guidelines. Mr. Ho is the former Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Although Dr. Chwang is an outside, non-management director, he is related by marriage to a sibling of an officer of the Company. All other directors were considered to be independent of management and free of any interest or any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with their ability to act with a view to the best interests of the Company.  
  
4. The Board should appoint a committee of directors composed exclusively of outside (i.e., non-management directors), a majority of whom are unrelated directors with the responsibility for proposing new nominees to the Board to the full Board and for assessing directors on an ongoing basis.   YES   In fiscal 2003, the Board created a Governance and Nominations Committee for the purposes of, among other things, proposing new nominees to the Board and assessing directors on an ongoing basis. All director nominations are approved by the Governance and Nominations Committee. The Governance and Nominations Committee Charter provides that in recruiting and considering candidates for director, the Governance and Nominations Committee will take into account the candidates’ competencies, skills and personal qualities and ensure that the candidates understand the demands and expectations of a director of the Company. The Governance and Nominations Committee is also responsible for conducting annual assessments of the Board.  
  
5. The Board should implement a process to be carried out by a committee of the Board for assessing the effectiveness of the Board as a whole, the committees of the Board and the contribution of individual directors.   YES   The Governance and Nominations Committee is charged with the responsibility of conducting an annual evaluation of the functioning and effectiveness of the Board, the Chair of the Board, each committee of the Board and its Chair and individual directors. The Governance Guidelines also provide that the suitability of directors be reviewed when they change their principal occupation or accept additional corporate directorships.  
  
6. The Company, as an integral element of the process for appointing new directors, should provide an orientation and education program for new recruits to the Board.   YES   Pursuant to the Governance and Nominations Committee Charter, it is the responsibility of the Governance and Nominations Committee to oversee an orientation program to familiarize new directors with the Company’s business and operations (including the Company’s reporting structure, strategic plans, significant financial, accounting and risk issues, and compliance programs and policies), management and the external auditors. Currently, when new members of the Board are appointed they meet with management and other members of the Board to familiarize themselves with the business of the Company and their responsibilities as members of the Board. New Board members are also provided with a manual containing, among other things, a record of historical public information as well as copies of all Board and committee mandates and charters and corporate policies. The Governance and Nominations Committee will also oversee ongoing educational opportunities for all directors.

7. The Board should examine its size and, with a view to determining the impact of the number upon effectiveness, undertake where appropriate a program to reduce the number of directors to a number which facilitates effective decision-making.   YES   The Governance and Nominations Committee is responsible for reviewing, from time to time, the size of the Board, particularly in light of its annual review of the competencies, skills and personal qualities required by the Board in order to add value to the Company. The Governance and Nominations Committee has determined that the Board’s current size continues to provide for the effective functioning and decision-making of the Board as a whole. Nevertheless, the Governance and Nominations Committee will continue to review and assess the effectiveness of the Board in fiscal 2005 and may recommend the appointment of additional directors to the Board should appropriate candidates be identified.  
  
8. The Board should review the adequacy and form of the compensation of directors and ensure that compensation realistically reflects the responsibilities and risk involved in being an effective director.   YES   Pursuant to the Human Resources and Compensation Committee Charter, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee recommends to the Board the terms upon which directors shall be compensated. The Human Resources and Compensation Committee is responsible for ensuring that the compensation of directors, the Chair of the Board and those acting as committee chairs adequately reflects the responsibilities they are assuming. Director compensation is discussed in more detail above under the heading “Compensation of Directors”. The Compensation Committee is also responsible for reviewing the remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer and President and all senior management who report directly to the Chief Executive Officer and President. For additional information please see the “Report on Executive Compensation” above.  
  
9. Committees of the Board should generally be composed of outside directors, a majority of whom are unrelated directors, although some Board committees may include one or more insider directors.   YES   During fiscal 2004, each of the Audit Committee, Human Resources and Compensation Committee and Governance and Nominations Committee were comprised exclusively of outside directors. All of these directors were unrelated as determined under the TSX Guidelines with the exception of Dr. Chwang, as noted above, who serves on the Governance and Nominations Committee.  
  
10. The Board should assume responsibility for, or assign to a committee of directors responsibility for, developing the approach to governance issues. This committee would, among other things, be responsible for the Company’s response to these governance guidelines.   YES   In fiscal 2003, the Board of Directors adopted written Corporate Governance Guidelines (discussed above) to enhance its commitment to maintaining a high standard of corporate governance. Furthermore, the Board has established the Governance and Nominations Committee which, among other things, is responsible for the development, implementation and assessment of effective corporate governance principles.  
  
11. The Board, together with the Chief Executive Officer, should develop position descriptions for the Board and for the Chief Executive Officer including the definition of limits to management’s responsibilities. The Board should approve or develop corporate objectives that the Chief Executive Officer is responsible for meeting and assess the Chief Executive Officer against these objectives.   YES   Subject to the authority of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer and President has a mandate to generally supervise the business and affairs of the Company. It is the responsibility of the Governance and Nominations Committee to monitor and assess the relationship between the Board and management and to define the limits to management’s responsibilities. In this regard, the Board requires management to ensure that all transactions or matters of a material nature are presented by management to the Board for approval. It is the Human Resources and Compensation Committee’s responsibility to review and revise the position description of the Chief Executive Officer and President and to determine the performance goals that the Chief Executive Officer and President is responsible for meeting.

12. The Board should have in place appropriate structures and procedures to ensure that the Board can function independently of management. An appropriate structure would be to: (i) appoint a chair of the Board who is not a member of management with responsibility to ensure that the Board discharges its responsibilities; or (ii) assign this responsibility to an outside director, sometimes referred to as the “lead director”. The chair or lead director should ensure that the Board carries out its responsibilities effectively which will involve the Board meeting on a regular basis without management present and may involve assigning the responsibility for administering the Board’s relationship to management to a committee of the Board.   YES   The Board of Directors believes that it has functioned, and believes that it can continue to function, independent of management as required. Mr. Ho, who is the former Chief Executive Officer, currently serves as Chairman of the Board of Directors. In fiscal 2003, Dr. Fleck was appointed as the lead director to ensure greater independence of the Board from management. The Governance Guidelines require directors to meet in camera without management or management directors present at each scheduled quarterly meeting of the Board. The Human Resources and Compensation Committee, Audit Committee and Governance and Nominations Committee are each composed entirely of outside directors.  
  
13. The audit committee of the Board should be composed only of outside directors. The roles and responsibilities of the Audit Committee should be specifically defined so as to provide appropriate guidance to Audit Committee members as to their duties. The Audit Committee should have direct communication channels with the internal and external auditors to discuss and review specific issues as appropriate. The Audit Committee duties should include the oversight responsibility for management reporting on internal control. While it is management’s responsibility to design and implement an effective system of internal control, it is the responsibility of the Audit Committee to ensure that management has done so.   YES   The Board has adopted a charter for the Audit Committee, which sets out the mandate for the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is responsible for engaging and overseeing the Company’s auditor, maintaining direct communication with the Company’s auditor and determining the compensation of the Company’s auditor. It is also the Audit Committee’s responsibility to review the quality and adequacy of and compliance with the Company’s internal controls. The Audit Committee must approve all non-audit work performed by the Company’s auditor.  
  
14. The Board should implement a system that enables an individual director to engage an outside advisor at the Company’s expense in the appropriate circumstances. The engagement of the outside advisor should be subject to the approval of an appropriate committee of the Board.   YES   Individual members of the Board are permitted to engage, at the Company’s expense, outside advisors when necessary.
