PRESIDENT’S LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS


Fellow Shareholders,
 
As you may know, I joined Titan Trading Analytics in June and was named Chief Executive Officer of the Company in September of this year. I am very bullish about the opportunities that lie ahead for Titan and its shareholders, and confident that you have an experienced management team and Board of Directors working on your behalf.
 
While it’s still early in the execution of our strategic plan, we feel confident (based on the initial positive results) that it’s the right path to maximize shareholder value for you. The Company’s strategic plan is based on the following objectives:(1) improve the quality of our proprietary trading research, (2) dramatically simplify the software for users, (3) automate our internal trading strategies (4) partner with brokers on distribution to their trading customers, (5) attract new employees with proven financial services pedigrees and (6) expand the breadth of our research to the European markets. More than half of these objectives have already been executed on in a very short amount of time.
 
Currently, the members of our Board of Directors are: John Coulter, Kenneth Powell, Harold Elke, Joseph Francese, Phillip Carrozza and Michael Gossland. In the coming months, we intend to add to board strength and nominate two additional directors, both of whom will be independent and possess industry expertise.
 
Leadership Changes
 
After ten years at the helm, Ken Powell passed on chief executive duties to me, but will remain active as a member of the board.  Ken’s enthusiasm and his relationship with many of our key investors are very important to the ongoing success of the company and I’d personally like to thank him for all of his efforts.  Phil Carrozza’s role of President of Titan Trading USA was also passed on to me, and Phil will continue to be a key day-to-day contributor as Head of Business Development, raising capital for the asset management side of the business.  I also hired a 12 year trading technology veteran, Brett Decker, as VP of Product Management.  Brett has spent his entire career at 2 major hedge funds in Dallas, TX, Carlson Capital and Maverick Capital, one of the world’s largest alternative funds.  Fadi Khair was also promoted to VP of Engineering for our Edmonton development team after coming up with creative ways to enhance our software and improve performance.
 
Product Improvements
 
Titan has devoted tens of thousands of hours to developing an automated approach to predict more probable trading results.  After carefully scrutinizing every component, it became clear our software needed to be streamlined internally to free up resources and simplified for outside customer use.  Titan’s key value proposition is providing trading ideas.  In order to keep it simple, the team devised a plan to stream signals from our Trade Recommendation Engines into an easy-to-use browser-based application we are calling TickAnalyst(TM).  Feedback on the new product has been extremely positive from traders we’ve demonstrated to.  We are currently in the middle of proof-of-concepts with 2 brokers in the U.S. who have a combined 200 potential customers for our product.
 
Automated Trading
 
Titan Trading resumed semi-automated daily trading activities in September with funds provided by Compo Investments.  When I came on as a management consultant in June, our research team requested more hardware, a 10 year historical database and improvements in the time it took to backtest each Titan model.  Since those requests were honored, the optimization tests have been cut down from 5 days to 18 hours, a tremendous improvement, and the number of quality signals has gone way up.  We are going to move forward with fully automating our trading activities as a result.  I am very confident in the work our research team has done after studying the empirical evidence.
 
Minimizing Expenses
 
I am a big believer in keeping operations lean and mean.  The key for us is to concentrate on our core competencies, research and trading technologies, and rely on outside services for peripheral

functions.  Since September, I have also let go of 20% of staff I considered non-essential and shut down our West Palm Beach, Florida office.  I will work hard to stay within our means while still delivering quality products and services to our customers.
 
Marketing Message
 
The word on Titan has already been circulated through major professional trading publications based in NY.  We operate in a largely word-of-mouth industry, and my ongoing relationships with key members of the press and analyst community will get us noticed quickly.  We have two key potential regulatory issues in our favor as well.  First, U.S. Investments banks are being pressured to either disband or try to sell off proprietary trading divisions under a provision known as “The Volcker Rule”.  JP Morgan has moved ahead of the mandate to disband their group and Goldman, Citi and others are losing top trading talent which are fleeing to smaller companies which fly under the radar.  This will create hundreds of smaller firms which Titan can cater to.  Second, there is a global backlash against the practice known as “High Frequency Trading (HFT)”.  The feeling is that only the largest firms can benefit from machine-based trading, which can pick off small price movements in a millisecond or less.  Titan’s models are more suitable for opportunities spotted minutes to days ahead of a trend.  If restrictions are put in place on HFT, our system is a fantastic alternative which is fair and equal for anyone who uses our product.
 
Looking Forward
 
While our revenues are indicative of a venture company, we are establishing a pipeline which should hopefully grow revenue at a pace pleasing to our shareholders in 2011. The Company has a superior and unique product positioned in a shifting market ready for solutions like ours. I thank you for supporting our efforts and I will do my best to communicate our progress on a regular basis.  Titan’s future looks very bright.
 
Sincerely,


John J. Coulter
President & Chief Executive Officer

TITAN TRADING ANALYTICS INC.
MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

THIS MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR (“MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR”) IS PROVIDED IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOLICITATION BY MANAGEMENT OF TITAN TRADING ANALYTICS INC. (THE “COMPANY”) of proxies from the holders of Common Shares (the “Common Shares”) for the annual and special meeting of the shareholders of the Company (the “Meeting”) to be held on Friday, November 19, 2010 at 2:00 p.m. at Unit 120, 4445 Calgary Trail, Edmonton, Alberta, or at any adjournment thereof for the purposes set out in the accompanying notice of meeting (the “Notice of Meeting”).

Although it is expected that the solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail, proxies may also be solicited personally or by telephone, facsimile or other proxy solicitation services. In accordance with National Instrument 54-101, arrangements have been made with brokerage houses and other intermediaries, clearing agencies, custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of the Common Shares (as defined below) held of record by such persons and the Company may reimburse such persons for reasonable fees and disbursements incurred by them in doing so. The costs thereof will be borne by the Company.

APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES

The persons named (the “Management Designees”) in the enclosed instrument of proxy (“Instrument of Proxy”) have been selected by the directors of the Company and have indicated their willingness to represent as proxy the shareholder who appoints them. A shareholder has the right to designate a person (whom need not be a shareholder) other than the Management Designees to represent him or her at the Meeting. Such right may be exercised by inserting in the space provided for that purpose on the Instrument of Proxy the name of the person to be designated and by deleting therefrom the names of the Management Designees, or by completing another proper form of proxy and delivering the same to the transfer agent of the Company. Such shareholder should notify the nominee of the appointment, obtain the nominee’s consent to act as proxy and should provide instructions on how the shareholder’s shares are to be voted. The nominee should bring personal identification with him to the Meeting. In any case, the form of proxy should be dated and executed by the shareholder or an attorney authorized in writing, with proof of such authorization attached (where an attorney executed the proxy form). In addition, a proxy may be revoked by a shareholder personally attending at the Meeting and voting his shares.

A form of proxy will not be valid for the Meeting or any adjournment thereof unless it is completed and delivered to the Company’s transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada, Proxy Department, 9th Floor, 100 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5J 2Y1, or by fax at 1-866-249-7775 (within North America) prior to 2:00 p.m., Edmonton time, on Wednesday, November 17, 2010 being at least forty-eight (48) hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, before the time of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. Late proxies may be accepted or rejected by the Chairman of the Meeting in his discretion, and the Chairman is under no obligation to accept or reject any particular late proxy.

A shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke it as to any matter upon which a vote has not already been cast pursuant to the authority conferred by the proxy. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked by depositing an instrument in writing executed by the shareholder or by his authorized attorney in writing, or, if the shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized, either at the registered office of the Company or with Computershare Trust Company of Canada, Proxy Department, 9th Floor, 100 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5J 2Y1, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the date of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof at which the proxy is to be used, or by depositing the instrument in writing with the Chairman of such Meeting on the day of the

Meeting, or any adjournment thereof. In addition, a proxy may be revoked by the shareholder personally attending the Meeting and voting his shares.

ADVICE TO BENEFICIAL SHAREHOLDERS

The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to many shareholders, as a substantial number of shareholders do not hold Common Shares in their own name. Shareholders who hold their Common Shares through their brokers, intermediaries, trustees or other persons, or who otherwise do not hold their Common Shares in their own name (referred to in the Management Information Circular as “Beneficial Shareholders”) should note that only proxies deposited by shareholders who appear on the records maintained by the Company’s registrar and transfer agent as registered holders of Common Shares will be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. If Common Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Beneficial Shareholder by a broker, those Common Shares will, in all likelihood, not be registered in the shareholder’s name. Such Common Shares will more likely be registered under the name of the shareholder’s broker or an agent of that broker.  In Canada, the vast majority of such shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for The Canadian Depository for Securities, which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). Common Shares held by brokers (or their agents or nominees) on behalf of a broker’s client can only be voted (for or against resolutions) at the direction of the Beneficial Shareholder. Without specific instructions, brokers and their agents and nominees are prohibited from voting shares for the broker’s clients. Therefore, each Beneficial Shareholder should ensure that voting instructions are communicated to the appropriate person well in advance of the Meeting.

Existing regulatory policy requires brokers and other intermediaries to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of shareholders’ meetings. The various brokers and other intermediaries have their own mailing procedures and provide their own return instructions to clients, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their Common Shares are voted at the meeting. The form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its broker (or the agent of the broker) is substantially similar to the Instrument of Proxy provided directly to registered shareholders by the Company. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered Shareholder (i.e. the broker or agent of the broker) how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. In Canada, the vast majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (formerly ADP Investor Communications) (“Broadridge”). Broadridge typically prepares a machine-readable voting instruction form, mails those forms to Beneficial Shareholders and asks Beneficial Shareholders to return the forms to Broadridge, or otherwise communicate voting instructions to Broadridge (by way of the Internet or telephone, for example). Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of shares to be represented at the Meeting. A Beneficial Shareholder who receives aBroadridge voting instruction form cannot use that form to vote Common Shares directly at the Meeting. The voting instruction forms must be returned to Broadridge (or instructions respecting the voting of Common Shares must otherwise be communicated to Broadridge) well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Common Shares voted. If you have any questions respecting the voting of Common Shares held through a broker or other intermediary, please contact that broker or other intermediary for assistance.

Although a Beneficial Shareholder may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting Common Shares registered in the name of his broker, a Beneficial Shareholder may attend the Meeting as proxyholder for the registered shareholder and vote the Common Shares in that capacity. Beneficial Shareholders who wish to attend the Meeting and indirectly vote their Common Shares as proxyholder for the registered shareholder, should enter their own names in the blank space on the form of proxy provided to them and return the same to their broker (or the broker’s agent) in accordance with the instructions provided by such broker.

All reference to shareholders in this Management Information Circular and the accompanying Instrument of Proxy and Notice of Meeting are to registered shareholders unless specifically stated otherwise.

VOTING OF PROXIES

Each shareholder may instruct his proxy how to vote his Common Shares by completing the blanks onthe Instrument of Proxy. All Common Shares represented at the Meeting by properly executed proxies will be voted or withheld from voting (including the voting on any ballot), and where a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon has been specified in the Instrument of Proxy, the Common Shares represented by the proxy will be voted in accordance with such specification. In the absence of any such specification as to voting on the Instrument of Proxy, the Management Designees, if named as proxy, will vote in favour of the matters set out therein. In the absence of any specification as to voting on any other form of proxy, the Common Shares represented by such form of proxy will be voted in favour of the matters set out therein.

The enclosed Instrument of Proxy confers discretionary authority upon the Management Designees, or other persons named as proxy, with respect to amendments to or variations of matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and any other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. As of the date hereof, the Company is not aware of any amendments to, variations of or other matters that may come before the Meeting. In the event that other matters come before the Meeting, then the Management Designees intend to vote in accordance with the judgment of management of the Company.

QUORUM

The by-laws of the Company provide that a quorum of shareholders is present at a meeting of shareholders of the Company if at least twopersons are present in person or by proxy representing not less than one-twentieth (5%) of the outstanding shares of the Companyentitled to be voted at the meeting.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DISCLOSURE

Corporate governance relates to the activities of the Board of Directors, the members of which are elected by and are accountable to the shareholders, and takes into account the role of the individual members of management who are appointed by the Board of Directors and who are charged with the day to day management of the Company. The Board of Directors is committed to sound corporate governance practices, which are both in the interest of its shareholders and contribute to effective and efficient decision-making.

Pursuant to National Instrument58-101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (“NI 58-101”), the Company is required to disclose its corporate governance practices, as summarized below.

1.           Board of Directors
 
The Board of Directors of the Company facilitates its exercise of independent supervision over the Company’s management through meetings of the Board and through frequent informal discussions among the independent members of the board of directors and management.

The Board of Directors is currently composed of sixdirectors and all of those individuals are nominated for re-election at the Meeting.

NI 58-101 suggests that the board of directors of a public company should be constituted with a majority of individuals who qualify as “independent” directors. An “independent” director is a director who has no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company.  A material relationship is a relationship which could, in the view of the board of directors, reasonably interfere with the exercise of a director’s independent judgment.Of the current directors of the Company, Harold Elke, Kenneth Powell and Joe Franceseare considered by the Board of Directors to be “independent” within the meaning of NI58-101 and Michael Gossland, Philip Carrozza, and John Coulter are members of management or consultants to the company and accordingly they are considered to be not-independent.

2.           Directorships
 
The following directors of the Company are directors of other reporting issuers:
 
Director
Other Reporting Issuer
Kenneth Powell
Firestone Ventures Inc.

3.           Orientation and Continuing Education

At present, each new director is given an outline of the nature of the Company’s business, its corporate strategy, and current issues with the Company. New directors are also required to meet with management of the Company to discuss and better understand the Company’s business.

The introduction and education process will be reviewed on an annual basis and will be revised accordingly.

4.           Ethical Business Conduct

The Board of Directors has considered adopting a written code of business conduct and ethics and has decided not to adopt such a code at the present time.

The Board of Directors has established a Whistle Blower Policy, which details the complaint procedure for concerns about any aspect of the Company’s activities and operations.

The Board has found that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Company’s governing corporate legislation and the common law and the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on an individual director’s participation in decisions of the Board in which the director has an interest have been sufficient to ensure that the Board operates independently of management and in the best interests of the Company.

Under the corporate legislation, a director is required to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances.

In addition, as some of the directors of the Company also serve as directors and officers of other companies engaged in similar business activities, the Board of Directors must comply with the conflict of interest provisions of the Business Corporations Act, as well as the relevant securities regulatory instruments, in order to ensure that directors exercise independent judgment in considering transactions and agreements in respect of which a director or officer has a material interest. Any interested director would be required to declare the nature and extent of his interest and would not be entitled to vote at meetings of directors which evoke such a conflict.

5.           Nomination of Directors

The Board of Directors determines new nominees to the Board of Directors, although a formal process has not been adopted. The nominees are generally the result of recruitment efforts by the Board members, including both formal and informal discussions among Board members and officers.

6.           Compensation

The board of directors has not appointed a compensation committee.  The entire board of directors is currently responsible for reviewing all compensation strategy, objectives and policies; annually reviewing and assessing the performance of the executive officers; determining the compensation ofexecutive officers and reviewing executive appointments.

7.           Other Board Committees

Other than the audit committee, the board does not have any other committees. The Company may implement a governance committee when the size of the Company mandates this.

8.           Assessments

The Board of Directors monitors but does not formally assess the performance of individual Board members or committee members of their contribution.

5.           Approval of Amended Stock Option Plan

The purpose of the Planis to afford persons who provide services to the Companyor any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, whether they be directors, officers, employees, management company employees, or consultants, an opportunity to obtain a proprietary interest in the Company by permitting them to purchase Common Shares of the Company and to aid in attracting, as well as retaining and encouraging the continued involvement of such persons with the Company.

Under the terms of the Plan, the board of directors may grant options to acquire Common Shares exercisable at a price which is not less than the discounted market price of the Common Shares at the time the option is granted in accordance with TSX Venture Exchange policies, for a term not to exceed tenyears from the date of their grant, subject to earlier expiration upon termination of office or employment.
 
 
 
Titan Trading Analytics Inc. 2010 Information Circular
 
 
17

 


Under the Plan, a stock option is non-assignable and non-transferrable and vests on the dates set by the directors, in accordance with TSX Venture Exchange policies, which do not allow vesting over a period of less than 18 months or vesting schedules which permit a majority of the shares to be released early in the vesting period rather than equally on a quarterly basis.

All rights to purchase Common Shares pursuant to the Plan terminate: (i) within a reasonable period of the optionee ceasing to be a director, officer, employee, management company employee, or consultant, or (ii) within 12 months after the death of an optionee, unless exercised within that period.

The shareholders of the Company approved the Plan on October 2, 2009, which allowed for a maximum of12,142,376 shares to be reserved for issuance under the Plan.

Subject to shareholder and regulatory approval, the Company wishes to amend the Plan to increase the maximum number of Common Shares which may be reserved for issuance thereunder to 16,620,725, provided that at no time will the number of stock options granted exceed 20% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company. All stock options granted under the Plan will continue to adhere to TSX Venture Exchange policies and guidelines. A copy of the Plan, including the proposed amendments, is attached hereto as Exhibit II.

TSX Venture Exchange policies require that a stock option plan reserving for issuance more than 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of a corporation must specify a maximum number of shares issuable under it and cannot have a rolling maximum, such as a specified percentage of the listed and outstanding shares from time to time. In addition, TSX Venture Exchange policies require that corporations obtain shareholder approval in order to change the maximum number of shares issuable under this type of stock option plan. In order to be carried, an ordinary resolution approving the amendment must be passed, with or without modification, by a majority of the votes cast with respect to the resolution by shareholders present in person or by proxy at the Meeting.

The complete text of the ordinary resolution,which management intends to place before the Meeting for the approval, adoption and ratification of the amendments to the planis as follows:

 
“BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED as an ordinary resolution of the Company,that:

1.  
the Company’s Stock Option Plan approved on October 2, 2009be amended to increase the maximum number of Common Shares which may be issued pursuant to the Stock Option Plan to 16,620,725, which is no greater than 20% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of the Company at the Information Circular date of the 2010 AGM;

2.  
the directors of the Company be authorized to make amendments to the Stock Option Plan, from time to time, as may, in their discretion, be considered necessary or advisable or required by the TSX Venture Exchange to have the Stock Option Plan comply with all applicable regulatory requirements;

3.  
this ordinary resolution may be revoked by the directors of the Company in their discretion by resolution without further approval, ratification or confirmation by the Shareholders at any time and in such case, the directors of the Companyare hereby authorized to abandon the above described amendment to the Stock Option Plan of the Companywithout further approval, ratification or confirmation by the Shareholders of the Company, and in such case, this ordinary resolution shall be deemed to have been rescinded; and

4.  
any one director or officer of the Companybe and he is hereby authorized and directed to perform all such acts, deeds and things and execute all such documents and other writings as may be required to give effect to this resolution.”

Rights of Dissenting Shareholders

Any holder of Common Shares is entitled to dissent to and to be paid the fair value of all, but not less than all, of such Common Shares in accordance with section 191 of the ABCA.  A Dissenting Shareholder must send the Company a written objection to the Disposition, which written objection must be received by the Company at its registered office, at or before the Meeting.  The execution or exercise of a proxy does not constitute written objection for the purposes of the ABCA.

In the event a take-over bid (as defined in the Securities Act), which is not exempt from the take-over bid requirements of Part 14 of the Securities Act (or its replacement or successor provisions), shall be made for the Common Shares of the Corporation, the Corporation may in the agreement providing for the grant of Options herein provide that the Corporation may require the disposition of the Optionee and the termination of any obligations of the Corporation to the Optionee in respect of any Options granted by paying to the Optionee in cash the difference between the exercise price of unexercised Options and the fair market value of the securities to which the Optionee would have been entitled upon exercise of the unexercised Options on such date, which determination of fair market value shall be conclusively made by the Committee, subject to approval by the stock exchanges upon which the Common Shares are then listed, if required by such exchanges.  Upon payment as aforesaid, the Options shall terminate and be at an end and the Optionee shall cease to have any further rights in respect thereof.

11.  
Alterations in Shares
 
Appropriate adjustments in the number of Common Shares optioned and in the Exercise Price, as regards Options granted or to be granted, may be made by the Committee in its discretion to give effect to adjustments in the number of Common Shares of the Corporation resulting subsequent to the approval of the Plan by the Committee from subdivisions, consolidations or reclassifications of the Common Shares of the Corporation, the payment of stock dividends by the Corporation, or other relevant changes in the capital of the Corporation.
