MANAGEMENT PROXY CIRCULAR AND PROXY STATEMENT FOR

THE ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

TO BE HELD SEPTEMBER 10, 2015

This Management Proxy Circular and Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Mad Catz Interactive, Inc. (the “Company,” “Mad Catz,” “we” or “us”) of proxies from the holders of shares of Common Stock of the Company to be voted at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on Thursday, September 10, 2015, beginning at 10:00 a.m., Pacific Time, at Mad Catz, Inc.’s offices located at 10680 Treena Street, Suite 500, San Diego, California 92131 (the “Meeting”). This Management Proxy Circular and Proxy Statement, the proxy card, and our Annual Report will first be mailed to shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting on or about August 5, 2015. All dollar references in this Management Proxy Circular and Proxy Statement are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROXY

MATERIALS AND OUR 2015 ANNUAL MEETING

Q: What is the purpose of the Meeting?

A: The Meeting is being held to receive our Annual Report containing the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2015 and the auditor’s report thereon and to consider and vote upon (1) the election of five directors to serve until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 2016 or until their successors are duly elected and qualified; (2) the appointment of KPMG LLP as our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm and Auditor and the authorization of the Board to fix the remuneration of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm and Auditor; and (3) the approval, on a non-binding advisory basis, of the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers. The Board knows of no other business that will be presented for consideration at the Meeting. In addition, management will report on the Company’s performance during fiscal year 2015 and respond to questions from shareholders.

Q: What are the Board’s Recommendations?

A: The Board’s recommendations are set forth together with a description of the proposals in this Management Proxy Circular and Proxy Statement. In summary, the Board recommends that you vote:

• FOR the election of the five directors named in this Management Proxy Circular and Proxy Statement to serve until the Meeting of Shareholders in 2016 or until their successors are duly elected and qualified (see page 5);

1

• FOR the appointment of KPMG LLP as our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm and Auditor and the authorization of the Board to fix the remuneration of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm and Auditor (see page 9); and

• FOR the advisory approval of the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers (see page 10).

Q: Who is entitled to vote at the Meeting?

A: Only holders of record of shares of Common Stock as of the close of business on July 27, 2015, the record date fixed by the Board (the “Record Date”), will be entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting. As of July 27, 2015, there were 73,469,571 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding.

Q: What shares can I vote?

A: You may vote all shares of Mad Catz Common Stock owned by you as of the close of business on the Record Date. You may cast one vote per share that you held on the Record Date. A list of shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting will be available during ordinary business hours at Mad Catz, Inc.’s offices located at 10680 Treena Street, Suite 500, San Diego, California 92131 for a period of at least 10 days prior to the Meeting and at the Meeting.

Q: How can I vote my shares at the Meeting?

A: If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada, you are considered the “shareholder of record” with respect to those shares and the proxy materials and proxy card are being sent directly to you by Mad Catz. As the shareholder of record, you have the right to vote in person at the Meeting. If you choose to do so, you can bring the enclosed proxy card or vote at the Meeting. Most of our shareholders hold their shares through a broker, bank or other nominee (that is, in “street name”) rather than directly in their own name. These shareholders are referred as a “beneficial owners”, and may not vote these shares in person at the Meeting other than as described below. Even if you plan to attend the Meeting, we recommend that you vote your shares in advance as described below so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Meeting. The shares represented by proxy at the Meeting will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions of the shareholder granting such proxy on any ballot which may be called for. If the shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the shares subject to such proxy will be voted accordingly.

These proxy materials are being sent to both shareholders of record and beneficial owners. If you are a beneficial owner, and Mad Catz or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of securities, have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the intermediary holding on your behalf. By choosing to send these materials to you directly, Mad Catz (and not the intermediary holding on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for (i) delivering these materials to you, and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions. Please return your voting instructions as specified in the request for voting instructions.

There are two kinds of beneficial owners: Objecting Beneficial Owners (“OBOs”) who object to their name being made known to the issuers of securities they own; and Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners (“NOBOs”) who do not object to the issuers of the securities they own knowing who they are.

If you are a NOBO, the Company is sending the proxy materials to you directly, together with a Voting Instruction Form from our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company of Canada, pursuant to National Instrument 54-101. If you wish to vote in person at the meeting, you must insert your own name in the space provided for the appointment of a proxyholder on the Voting Instruction Form and carefully follow the instructions therein for return of the executed form or other method of response.

2

If you are an OBO, your broker, bank or other nominee is forwarding the proxy materials to you, together with a voting instruction card. You may not vote the shares you beneficially own in person at the Meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the broker, bank or other nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares at the Meeting, or, if applicable, by following the instructions in the voting instruction form you receive from the broker, bank or other nominee that holds your shares.

Applicable regulatory policy requires your broker to seek voting instructions from you in advance of the Meeting. Every broker has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions, which you should carefully follow in order to ensure that your shares are voted at the Meeting. The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Communication Solutions, Canada (“Broadridge”). Broadridge mails a Voting Information Form instead of the form of proxy. You are asked to complete and return the Voting Information Form to Broadridge by mail or facsimile. Alternately, you can call the toll-free telephone number noted on your Voting Information Form to vote your shares. If you receive a Voting Information Form from Broadridge, it cannot be used as a proxy to vote shares directly at the Meeting because the Voting Information Form must be returned to Broadridge in advance of the Meeting in order to have the shares voted.

Q: How will my shares be voted if I return a blank proxy card?

A: If you are a shareholder of record, and you sign and return a proxy card without giving specific voting instructions, your shares will be voted “FOR” the election, as directors of the Company, of the five nominees named in this Management Proxy Circular and Proxy Statement, “FOR” the appointment of KPMG LLP as our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm and Auditor and the authorization of the Board to fix the remuneration of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm and Auditor, and “FOR” the advisory approval of the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers. If you hold shares in street name and are not a NOBO, your bank or broker is permitted to use its own discretion and vote your shares on certain routine matters (such as Proposal 2) even if you have not provided voting instructions. Your bank or broker is not permitted to use its discretion and vote your shares on non-routine matters (such as Proposals 1 and 3) if it has not received instructions from you as to how to vote the shares. Therefore, we urge you to give voting instructions to your broker on all three voting proposals. Shares that are not permitted to be voted by your broker with respect to any non-routine matter are called “broker non-votes.” Broker non-votes are not considered votes for or against, or entitled to vote with respect to, any of the proposals to be voted on at the Meeting and will have no direct impact on any such proposal.

Q: How can I vote my shares without attending the Meeting?

A: Whether you are the shareholder of record or hold your shares in street name, you may direct your vote without attending the Meeting by completing and mailing your proxy card in the enclosed pre-paid envelope or completing and returning the Voting Instruction Form in accordance with the instructions contained therein. Each shareholder has the right to appoint a person or company to represent the shareholder at the Meeting other than the person or company, if any, designated on the proxy card. A shareholder desiring to appoint some other person (who need not be a shareholder of the Company) to represent him, her or it at the Meeting may do so either by inserting such other person’s name in the blank space provided in the proxy card or by completing another proxy card and in either case by delivering, at any time up to and including the second business day preceding the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, the completed proxy card addressed to the Corporate Secretary of the Company, c/o Computershare Trust Company of Canada, Attention Proxy Department, 100 University Avenue, 9^th Floor, North Tower, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5J 2Y1, or to the Chairman or the Corporate Secretary of the Company at the beginning of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. If your shares are held in street name, carefully follow the corresponding instructions in the Voting Instruction Form. Also, your Voting Instruction Form may contain instructions from our transfer agent or your broker, bank or nominee that allow you to vote your shares using the Internet or by telephone. Please consult with your broker, bank or nominee if you have any questions regarding the electronic voting of shares held in street name.

3

Q: Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy?

A: You may change your vote or revoke your proxy at any time before your proxy is voted at the Meeting. If you are a shareholder of record, you may change your vote or revoke your proxy: (1) by delivering to the Company at Mad Catz Interactive, Inc. % McMillan LLP, 181 Bay Street, Suite 4400, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5J 2T3 (Attention: P. Collins) a written notice of revocation of your proxy on or before September 9, 2015 or on or before the business day preceding any adjournment of the Meeting or to the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting; (2) by delivering to the Company on or before September 8, 2015 an authorized proxy bearing a later date; (3) by attending the Meeting and voting in person; or (4) in any other manner permitted by law. Attendance at the Meeting in and of itself, without voting in person, will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked. For shares you hold in street name, you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee or, if you have obtained a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee giving you the right to vote your shares at the Meeting, by attending the Meeting and voting in person.

Q: How many shares must be present or represented to conduct business at the Meeting?

A: The quorum requirement for holding the Meeting and transacting business at the Meeting is that at least two persons, being either shareholders or proxy holders, holding or representing in the aggregate not less than a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at the Meeting, be present in person at the Meeting.

Q: What if a quorum is not present at the Meeting?

A: Under Canadian law, if a quorum is not present at the opening of the Meeting, the shareholders present may adjourn the Meeting to a fixed time and place, but may not transact any other business. If we propose to have the shareholders vote whether to adjourn the Meeting, the proxy holders will vote all shares for which they have authority in favor of the adjournment.

Q: What vote is required to approve each of the proposals?

A: The election of directors (Proposal 1) and the appointment of auditors and authority to fix remuneration of auditors (Proposal 2) are determined by a plurality. The advisory approval of the compensation paid to our named executive officers (Proposal 3) requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on those proposals by the shareholders present (in person or by proxy) and entitled to vote at the Meeting.

Q: What happens if additional matters or amendments to matters are presented at the Meeting?

A: Other than the three proposals described in this Management Proxy Circular and Proxy Statement, we are not aware of any other business to be acted upon at the Meeting. If you grant a proxy, the persons named as proxy holders, Thomas Brown, Chairman of the Board, and Darren Richardson, President and Chief Executive Officer, will have the discretion to vote your shares on any additional matters properly presented for a vote at the Meeting or with respect to any amendments or variations to the three proposals described in this Management Proxy Circular and Proxy Statement.

Q: Who will count the votes?

A: A representative of the Company will be appointed at the Meeting to tabulate the votes and act as Scrutineer and Inspector of Elections.

Q: Where can I find the voting results of the Meeting?

A: We will announce preliminary voting results at the Meeting and publish final results in a Current Report on Form 8-K within four business days following the Meeting. In addition, a report of the final votes will be made available at www.sedar.com. We will also issue a news release following the Meeting announcing the results on the election of directors and other matters considered at the Meeting.

4

Q: Who will bear the cost of soliciting votes for the Meeting?

A: The solicitation of proxies will be conducted by mail, and the Company will bear all attendant costs. These costs will include the expense of preparing and mailing proxy solicitation materials for the Meeting and reimbursements paid to brokerage firms and others for their expenses incurred in forwarding solicitation materials regarding the Meeting to beneficial owners of our Common Stock. We may conduct further solicitation personally, telephonically, through the Internet or by facsimile through our officers, directors and employees, none of whom will receive additional compensation for assisting with the solicitation. We may generate other expenses in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the Meeting, which we will pay.

Q: May I propose matters for consideration at next year’s Annual Meeting or nominate individuals to serve as directors?

A: Yes. If you wish to propose a matter for consideration at next year’s Annual Meeting or if you wish to nominate a person for election as a director of the Company, see the information set forth in “Shareholder Proposals” and “Shareholder Nominations” below.

Q: What do I need for admission to the Meeting?

A: You are entitled to attend the Meeting only if you are a shareholder of record or a beneficial owner as of July 27, 2015, the Record Date, or you hold a valid proxy for the Meeting. You should be prepared to present photo identification for admittance. If you are the shareholder of record, your name will be verified against the list of shareholders of record prior to your being admitted to the Meeting. If you hold your shares in street name, you should provide proof of beneficial ownership on the Record Date, such as a brokerage account statement showing that you owned Mad Catz stock as of the Record Date, a copy of the Voting Instruction Form provided by our transfer agent or your broker, bank or other nominee, or other similar evidence of ownership as of the Record Date. If you do not provide photo identification or comply with the other procedures outlined above upon request, you will not be admitted to the Meeting.

PROPOSAL 1

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Company’s articles of incorporation provide that the Board shall consist of a minimum of three directors and a maximum of 12 directors. The Board currently consists of five members: Messrs. Thomas Brown, Darren Richardson, Scott Guthrie, John Nyholt, and Carlo Chiarello.

Each director elected at the Meeting will hold office for a one-year term until the 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders or until his successor is duly elected and qualified, unless prior thereto the director resigns or the director’s office becomes vacant by reason of death or other cause. If any such person is unable or unwilling to serve as a nominee for the office of director at the date of the Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof, the proxies may be voted for a substitute nominee, designated by the proxy holders or by the present Board to fill such vacancy, or for the balance of those nominees named without nomination of a substitute, and the Board may be reduced accordingly. The Board has no reason to believe that any of such nominees will be unwilling or unable to serve if elected as a director.

In considering candidates for election to the Board, the independent members of the Board seek to assemble a Board that, as a whole, possess the appropriate balance of professional, management and industry experience, qualifications, attributes, skills, expertise and involvement in areas that are of importance to our business and

professional reputation.

Each of the nominees for election to the Board has demonstrated a successful track record of strategic, business and financial planning and operating skills.

(b) any other penalties or sanctions imposed by a court or regulatory body that would likely be considered important to a reasonable security holder in deciding whether to vote for such nominee director.

Majority Voting Policy

The Board has adopted a Majority Voting Policy stipulating that if the number of shares “withheld” for any Director nominee exceeds the number of common shares voted “for” the Director nominee, then, notwithstanding that such Director was duly elected as a matter of corporate law, he or she shall tender his or her written resignation to the Chairman of the Board, with a copy to the other Directors. The Directors other than such Director will consider such offer of resignation in light of all relevant circumstances, factors and information that they consider appropriate and relevant, including, without limitation, any stated reasons why shareholders withheld votes from the Director, the length of service and qualifications of the Director, the Director’s contributions to the Company and the effect such resignation may have on the Company’s ability to comply with governance guidelines and applicable laws. The Board must take formal action with respect to the resignation within 90 days of the date of the applicable shareholders meeting and announce its decision by press release. If a Director does not tender his or her resignation in accordance with the Majority Voting Policy, the Board will not nominate that Director at the next meeting of shareholders of the Company at which Directors are to be elected. The Majority Voting Policy does not apply in circumstances involving contested director elections.

Audit Committee Policy Regarding Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of the Company’s Independent Auditors

The Company’s Audit Committee has established a policy that all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditors will be pre-approved by the Audit Committee. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. The Audit Committee considers whether the provision of each non-audit service is compatible with maintaining the independence of the Company’s auditors. Pre-approval is detailed as to the particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget. The independent auditors and management are required to periodically report to the Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent auditors in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Preliminary Note: The following Report of the Audit Committee of the Board does not constitute soliciting material and should not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any other filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent specifically incorporated by the Company.

The Audit Committee of the Board is composed of three independent directors as required by the listing standards of the NYSE MKT and by Canadian securities regulatory authorities (“CSA”) and operates under a written charter adopted by the Board. The members of the Audit Committee for fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 were Thomas Brown (Chairman), Scott Guthrie, and John Nyholt.

Management is responsible for the Company’s internal controls and the financial reporting process. KPMG LLP, the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm and Auditor for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and for issuing reports thereon. The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes.

In this context, the Audit Committee has met and held discussions with management and the independent accountants. Management represented to the Audit Committee that the Company’s consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the consolidated financial statements with management and the independent accountants. The Audit Committee discussed with the independent accountants matters required to be discussed by Auditing Standard No. 16 (Communications with Audit Committees).

The Company’s independent accountants also provided to the Audit Committee the written disclosures required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and the Audit Committee discussed with the independent accountants that firm’s independence. The Audit Committee also considered whether the provision of non-audit services by the independent accountants is compatible with their independence.

Based upon the Audit Committee’s discussion with management and the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm and Auditor and the Audit Committee’s review of the representation of management and the report of the independent accountants to the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee recommended that the Board approve the audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Relevant Education and Experience of Audit Committee Members

By virtue of their prior history and business experience, each of Messrs. Brown, Guthrie, and Nyholt, the current members of the Company’s Audit Committee, have the relevant experience to meaningfully contribute to the Audit Committee. See “Election of Directors” above for a description of the relevant education and experience of the Audit Committee Members.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Board has developed corporate governance practices to help it fulfill its responsibility to shareholders to oversee the work of management in the conduct of the Company’s business and to seek to serve the long-term interests of shareholders. The Company’s corporate governance practices are memorialized in our Mandate of the Board of Directors, Director Code of Conduct, Code of Ethics and Conduct, Disclosure Policy, and the Charter of the Audit Committee of the Board. We continually review these governance practices and update them as necessary to reflect changes in regulatory requirements and evolving oversight practices. These documents are available on our website at www.madcatz.com and upon request in writing to our Corporate Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company, 10680 Treena Street, Suite 500, San Diego, California 92131.

Board of Directors

Our Board consists of five members. Four of our current directors are independent under the requirements set forth in the NYSE MKT listing rules and CSA National Instrument 58-101—Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (the “Instrument”). For a director to be considered independent, the Board must determine that the director does not have a material relationship with the Company that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment. The Board has established guidelines to assist it in determining director independence, which conform to the independence requirements of the NYSE MKT listing rules and the Instrument. In addition to applying these independence guidelines, the Board considers all relevant facts and circumstances in making an independence determination, and not merely from the standpoint of the director, but also from that of persons or organizations with which the director has an affiliation. The Board has determined that Messrs. Brown, Guthrie, Nyholt and Chiarello are independent.

Board Leadership Structure

Leadership of the Company is currently shared between Mr. Brown, Chairman of the Board of Directors, and Mr. Richardson, President and Chief Executive Officer. The Company does not have a formal policy with respect to separation of the offices of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and the Board believes that flexibility in appointing the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer allows the Board to make a determination as to such positions from time to time and in a manner that it believes is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. The Board believes that the current structure is best for the Company because it allows Mr. Richardson to focus on the Company’s day-to-day business, while allowing Mr. Brown to lead the Board in its primary role of review and oversight of management.

Meetings of the Board of Directors

During fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, our Board held twelve meetings. During fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, all of our directors attended in person or by telephone at least 75% or more of the aggregate number of Board meetings and committee meetings on which they served (during the periods for which they served as such). All directors are strongly encouraged to attend each Annual Meeting of Shareholders, unless attendance would be impracticable or constitute an undue burden. Messrs. Brown, Richardson, Nyholt, and Guthrie attended the 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders in person.

Time is allotted during each Board meeting for an executive session involving only our independent directors and non-management directors. Mr. Brown, Chairman of the Board, acts as presiding director at each executive session.

Audit Committee of the Board of Directors

The Board has a standing Audit Committee which operates pursuant to a written charter adopted by the Board. The Audit Committee was established in accordance with the requirements of Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the

13

Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and National Instrument 52-110—Audit Committees. The Audit Committee selects and engages the Company’s independent auditors, reviews the scope of audit engagements, reviews management letters of such auditors and management’s response thereto, approves professional services provided by such auditors, reviews the independence of such auditors, reviews any major accounting changes made or contemplated, considers the range of audit and non-audit fees, reviews the adequacy of the Company’s internal accounting controls and annually reviews its charter and submits any recommended changes to the Board for its consideration. The Audit Committee consists of three members: Thomas Brown (Chairman), Scott Guthrie and John Nyholt. The Board has determined that each member of the Audit Committee is “independent” and meets the financial literacy requirements of the NYSE MKT listing standards, that each member of the Audit Committee meets the enhanced independence standards established by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and that each of Messrs. Brown and Nyholt qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as that term is defined in the rules and regulations established by the SEC. The Audit Committee held four meetings in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015.

Role of Board of Directors in Risk Oversight

The Company’s management is primarily responsible to manage risk and inform the Board regarding the most material risks confronting the Company. The Board has oversight responsibility of the processes established to monitor and manage such risks. The Board believes that such oversight function is the responsibility of the entire Board through frequent reports and discussions at regularly scheduled Board meetings. In addition, the Board has delegated specific risk management oversight responsibility to the Audit Committee and to the independent members of the Board. In particular, the Audit Committee oversees management of risks related to accounting, auditing and financial reporting and maintaining effective internal controls for financial reporting. The independent members of the Board oversee risk management related to the Company’s corporate governance practices and the Company’s executive compensation plans and arrangements. These specific risk categories and the Company’s risk management practices are regularly reviewed by the entire Board in the ordinary course of regular Board meetings.

Shareholder Communications with the Board of Directors

It is the Company’s policy to forward to the directors any shareholder correspondence it receives that is addressed to them. Shareholders who wish to communicate with the directors may do so by sending their correspondence addressed to the director or directors as follows Attn: Corporate Secretary, Mad Catz Interactive, Inc., 10680 Treena Street, Suite 500, San Diego, California 92131.

Director Nominations

The Board performs the functions associated with a nominating committee. The Company’s independent directors make recommendations to the full Board for nominations to fill vacancies on the Board and for selecting the management nominees for the directors to be elected by the Company’s shareholders at each Annual Meeting. The Board believes that, considering the size of the Company and the Board, nominating decisions can be made effectively on a case-by-case basis by the independent members of the Board. In carrying out the functions of a nominating committee, the independent members of the Board do not rely on a nominating committee charter. Rather, the independent directors apply the guidelines set forth below in considering nominations to the Board.

Director Qualifications

Although the Board has not established specific minimum age, education, experience or skill requirements for potential directors or a formal policy regarding diversity, the Board believes that the appropriate mix and a broad diversity of skills, perspectives, experience, age and gender will help to enhance the performance of the

14

Board. The independent directors take into account all factors they consider appropriate in fulfilling their responsibilities to identify and recommend individuals to the Board as director nominees. Those factors may include, without limitation, the following:

• an individual’s business or professional experience, accomplishments, education, judgment, understanding of the business and the industry in which the Company operates, specific skills and talents, independence, time commitments, reputation, general business acumen and personal and professional integrity or character;

• the size and composition of the Board and the interaction of its members, in each case with respect to the needs of the Company and its shareholders; and

• regarding any individual who has served as a director of the Company, his or her past preparation for, attendance at, and participation in meetings and other activities of the Board or its committees and his or her overall contributions to the Board and the Company.

Identification and Evaluation of Nominees

In making nominations for director, the independent directors identify nominees by first evaluating the current members of the Board willing to continue their service. Current members with qualifications and skills that are consistent with the independent directors’ criteria for Board service are re-nominated. As to new candidates, the independent directors will generally poll the Board members and members of management for recommendations. The independent directors may also review the composition and qualification of the boards of directors of the Company’s competitors, and may seek input from industry experts or analysts. The independent directors evaluate the qualifications, experience and background of potential candidates. In making their determinations, the independent directors evaluate each individual in the context of the Board as a whole, with the objective of assembling a group that can best represent shareholders’ interests through the exercise of sound judgment. After review and deliberation of all feedback and data, the independent directors make recommendations to the Board by a majority vote. Historically, the Board has not relied on third-party search firms to identify director nominees. The Board may in the future choose to engage third-party search firms in situations where particular qualifications are required or where existing contacts are not sufficient to identify an appropriate candidate.

The independent directors may use multiple sources for identifying and evaluating nominees for directors, including referrals from the Company’s current directors and management as well as input from third parties, including executive search firms retained by the Board. The independent directors will obtain background information about candidates, which may include information from directors’ and officers’ questionnaires and background and reference checks, and will then interview qualified candidates. The Company’s other directors will also have an opportunity to meet and interview qualified candidates. The independent directors will then determine, based on the background information and the information obtained in the interviews, whether to recommend to the Board that a candidate be nominated to the Board.

Shareholder Nominations

The Board may from time to time consider qualified nominees recommended by shareholders, who may submit recommendations to the Board through a written notice to our Corporate Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company, 10680 Treena Street, Suite 500, San Diego, California 92131, within the time frames required by the Company’s bylaws and applicable law as described under “Shareholder Proposals” below. Nominees for director who are recommended by shareholders will be evaluated in the same manner as any other nominee for director.

STATEMENT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

The CSA has adopted National Instrument 58-101—Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices, which requires disclosure of the approach of the Company to corporate governance, and has issued guidelines for effective corporate governance under National Policy 58-201—Corporate Governance Guidelines (the “CSA Guidelines”).

19

Disclosure Requirements	Comments
	provides to its executive officers are appropriate relative to their counterparts, in light of each executive officer’s individual contribution to the Company’s performance. The Board relies upon its judgment in making compensation decisions, after reviewing the performance of the Company and carefully evaluating each executive officer’s individual performance and the Company’s performance during the year, along with other information which it deems relevant. The Board, other than the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, directly determines the compensation package provided to the Chief Executive Officer based on the Chief Executive Officer’s individual performance and the performance of the Company, receiving input as it deems appropriate. For executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations for each individual’s compensation package to the Board. In making these recommendations the Chief Executive Officer considers the individual’s performance, the individual’s contribution to Company performance and input from the Company’s human resources department. The Board discusses these recommendations with the Chief Executive Officer. The Board further reviews and discusses these recommendations in executive session without any members of management present.

In order to assess the effectiveness and contribution of the Board and Board committees, the Board reviews, on an annual basis, the size and composition of the Board and Board committees. This review process comprises Board effectiveness, Board and committee structure, Board processes as well as director and committee evaluations. As part of this process, each member of the Board of Directors

In recent years, the Board has undergone significant renewal, with three persons joining the Board and two persons departing the Board in the past two years. Directors are expected to inform the Chair of any major change in their principal occupation so that the Board would have the opportunity to decide the appropriateness of such director’s continuance as a member of the Board or of a Board committee. Directors are also expected to provide the Chair with information as to all boards of directors that they sit on or that they have been asked to join so as to allow the Board to determine whether it is appropriate for such director to continue to serve as a member of the Board or of a Board committee. The Board will apply Board nominee selection criteria, including directors’ past contributions to the Board and availability to devote sufficient time to fulfill their responsibilities, prior to recommending directors for re-election for another term.

In identifying the highest quality candidates, the Board takes into account diversity considerations such as gender, age and ethnicity, with a view to ensuring that the Board benefits from a broader range of perspectives and relevant experience.

2007 Stock Option Plan

The Company maintains one equity compensation plan, the Mad Catz Interactive, Inc. Stock Option Plan—2007, as amended (the “2007 Plan”), which was initially approved by the Company’s shareholders in 2007 and amended in 2010, 2011 and 2013.

28

Administration

The 2007 Plan is currently administered by the Board, although the Board may delegate this authority at a future time to a committee of the Board. Subject to the provisions of the 2007 Plan, the Board (or if authorized by the Board, a committee of the Board) determines, among other things, the persons to whom from time to time awards may be granted, the number of shares subject to each award, share prices, any restrictions or limitations on the awards, and any vesting, exchange, deferral, surrender, cancellation, acceleration, termination, exercise or forfeiture provisions related to the awards. The Board or applicable Board committee may also delegate to the Chief Executive Officer the authority to allocate stock option grants among non-management employees within the terms of reference and scope as determined by the Board or applicable Board committee.

Eligibility

Persons eligible to participate in the 2007 Plan are directors, officers and employees of or consultants to the Company or of any subsidiary of the Company, as determined by the Board or applicable Board committee who demonstrate the potential of becoming key personnel of, or performing valuable services for the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

Limitation on Awards and Shares Available

The 2007 Plan currently authorizes up to 10,300,000 shares for issuance, being the maximum number of shares that have previously been issued or which could be issuable under the 2007 Plan since its inception in 2007. The number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2007 Plan from time to time is not necessarily reflective of the number of options that are outstanding at any given time because options that are exercised do not replenish the number of shares reserved under the 2007 Plan. Currently, the Company has options outstanding under the 2007 Plan to purchase 7,887,317 shares of Common Stock representing approximately 10.7% of the number of shares currently issued and outstanding. 307,412 shares remain available for future grant under the 2007 Plan as of July 13, 2015.

Under the terms of the 2007 Plan, no options may be granted to insiders if such grant, together with any other security based compensation arrangements of the Company (collectively with the 2007 Plan referred to as “Share Compensation Arrangements”) could result in (i) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to insiders of the Company exceeding 10% of the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company at such time or (ii) the issuance to insiders pursuant to Share Compensation Arrangements within any twelve month period of a number of shares exceeding 10% of the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock at such time. “Insider” is defined in the 2007 Plan to include directors and senior officers (and their respective associates) of the Company and of certain subsidiaries of the Company. “Share compensation arrangements” is defined under the 2007 Plan as any compensation or incentive mechanism involving the issuance or potential issuance of securities of the Company, including financially assisted share purchases, stock options and stock appreciation rights involving the issuance of authorized but unissued shares of the Company.

In addition, to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the rights of holders under the 2007 Plan, the 2007 Plan provides for the adjustment of the terms of the awards or the number of shares reserved for issuance thereunder in the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend payable on our shares of Common Stock, combination or exchange of shares, or other extraordinary event occurring after the grant of an award. Shares of the Company’s Common Stock that are awarded under the 2007 Plan will be authorized but unissued shares. If any award granted under the 2007 Plan is forfeited or terminated, the shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the award will be made available for future award grants under the 2007 Plan.

Non-employee directors receive a one-time initial grant of options in respect of 25,000 shares; provided that if such person becomes a director subsequent to the previous annual meeting of the shareholders of the Company, the number of shares in respect of such initial grant of options is reduced on a pro rata basis based on the number of days elapsed from the previous annual meeting of shareholders to the date of such person’s appointment as a

29

director. Thereafter, non-employee directors receive an annual grant of options in respect of 25,000 shares. The maximum number of options that may be held by any other participants under the 2007 Plan is as determined from time to time by the Board or the applicable Board committee.

Awards

Stock options, including incentive stock options, as defined under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), and nonqualified stock options may be granted under the 2007 Plan. Stock option grants to members of the Board will, unless otherwise determined by the Board or applicable Board committee, vest and become exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of such grant. Stock option grants to persons other than members of the Board will, unless otherwise determined by the Board or applicable Board committee, vest and become exercisable as follows: 25% of the shares underlying such option shall vest and become exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of grant and the remainder shall vest and become exercisable in 36 equal monthly installments. The option exercise price of all stock options granted pursuant to the 2007 Plan will be as determined by the Board or applicable Board committee and will equal at least 100% of fair market value of the Common Stock of the Company on the date of grant. In no circumstances shall the exercise price of an option be less than the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the Toronto Stock Exchange (or on any other stock exchange on which the Company’s shares are then listed) on the last trading day prior to the effective date of grant. The effective date of grant will not be earlier than the actual date of grant. Stock options granted under the 2007 Plan will have a term for exercise as determined by the Board or applicable Board committee provided that such term will end on or before the tenth anniversary of the effective date of grant. The aggregate fair market value of the shares with respect to which options intended to be incentive stock options are exercisable for the first time by an optionee who is a citizen or resident of the United States in any calendar year may not exceed $100,000.

Upon the exercise of a stock option, the purchase price must be paid in full in either cash or its equivalent, or by tendering previously acquired shares of the Company’s Common Stock with a fair market value at the time of exercise equal to the exercise price (provided such shares have been held for such period of time as may be required by the Board (or the applicable Board committee) in order to avoid adverse accounting consequences) or other property acceptable to the Board (or the applicable Board committee) (including through the delivery of a notice that the participant has placed a market sell order with a broker with respect to shares then issuable upon exercise of the option, and that the broker has been directed to pay a sufficient portion of the net proceeds of the sale to the Company in satisfaction of the option exercise price, provided that payment of such proceeds is then made to the Company upon settlement of such sale). However, no participant who is a member of the Board or an executive officer of the Company will be permitted to pay the exercise price of an option in any method in violation of Section 13(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The Company does not currently intend to provide financial assistance in connection with the exercise of stock options granted under the 2007 Plan.

Assignability

Options granted under the 2007 Plan may only be assigned to: (i) a spouse of the optionee: (ii) a trustee, custodian or administrator acting on behalf of or for the benefit of the optionee or a spouse of the optionee; (iii) a registered retirement savings plan or a registered retirement income fund of the optionee or his or her spouse; (iv) a “holding entity” (as defined in National Instrument 45-106 of the Canadian Securities Administrators) of the optionee or his or her spouse; and (v) the legal personal representatives of a deceased optionee.

Blackout Periods

The Company prohibits its directors, officers and employees from trading in its securities with knowledge of any material information concerning the Company which has not been publicly disclosed. As it may be difficult

30

from time to time for an individual to determine if he or she is in possession of material non-public information, the Company identifies certain restricted periods (or “blackout periods”) during which its personnel are not to trade in securities of the Company, which includes the non-cash exercise of stock options. The 2007 Plan permits options that would otherwise expire during or immediately following a blackout period to remain exercisable until the fifth business day following the cessation of such blackout period.

Cessation of Employment

If an optionee ceases to be a director, officer or employee of, or a consultant to, the Company or any of its subsidiaries, then unless otherwise determined by the Board or applicable Board committee, the option will terminate and cease to be exercisable after 90 days from the earlier of the date on which the optionee ceases to be a director, officer, employee or consultant, or the date on which the optionee was given notice of dismissal.

Change in Control

In the event the Board recommends that shareholders accept or vote in favor of a bona fide offer for the shares of the Company that will result in a change of control of the Company, then all options which are outstanding, although not yet exercisable (vested), will become immediately exercisable, subject to the terms of the 2007 Plan. The Board may, in its discretion, give its express consent to the vesting of options which are outstanding, although not yet exercisable, upon receipt of an offer that it is not prepared to recommend. In addition, all options which are outstanding, although not yet exercisable, will automatically vest and become exercisable immediately prior to the consummation of a change in control transaction.

Amendment and Termination

The Board may terminate, amend, or modify the 2007 Plan at any time; provided, however, that shareholder approval must be obtained (i) to reduce the exercise price of an option either directly or indirectly including by means of the cancellation of an option and the reissue of a similar option; (ii) to extend the period available to exercise an option beyond the normal expiration date (except in respect of blackout periods as provided in the 2007 Plan); (iii) to increase the levels of insider participation under the 2007 Plan; (iv) to increase the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2007 Plan (other than pursuant to the provisions of the 2007 Plan); (v) to add any additional categories of persons eligible to receive options under the 2007 Plan; (vi) to increase the number of options that may be granted to non-employee directors initially or annually thereafter under the 2007 Plan; and (vii) to amend any assignment rights set forth in the 2007 Plan. All other amendments to the 2007 Plan could be made at the discretion of the Board. For example, the Board’s discretion will include without limitation, authority to make amendments to clarify any ambiguity, inconsistency or omission in the 2007 Plan and other amendments of a clerical or housekeeping nature, to alter the vesting or termination provisions of any option or of the 2007 Plan, to modify the mechanics of exercise, and to add a financial assistance provision.

Securities Law

The 2007 Plan is intended to conform to the extent necessary with all provisions of the laws, regulations and rules of all public agencies and authorities applicable to the issuance and distribution of shares and to the listing of shares on any stock exchange on with the shares of the Company may be listed. The 2007 Plan will be administered, and options will be granted and may be exercised, only in such a manner as to conform to such laws, rules and regulations. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the 2007 Plan and options granted thereunder shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to conform to such laws, rules and regulations.

U.S. Tax Consequences

The tax consequences of the 2007 Plan under current United States federal law are summarized in the following discussion which deals with the general tax principles applicable to the 2007 Plan, and is intended for

31

general information only. Alternative minimum tax, Canadian tax and state, provincial and local income taxes are not discussed. Tax laws are complex and subject to change and may vary depending on individual circumstances and from locality to locality. The tax information summarized is not tax advice.

Incentive Stock Options: An optionholder recognizes no taxable income for regular income tax purposes as a result of the grant or exercise of an incentive stock option qualifying under section 422 of the Code. Optionholders who neither dispose of their shares within two years following the date the option was granted nor within one year following the exercise of the option will normally recognize a capital gain or loss upon a sale of the shares equal to the difference, if any, between the sale price and the purchase price of the shares. If an optionholder satisfies such holding periods, upon a sale of the shares, the Company will not be entitled to any deduction for federal income tax purposes. If an optionholder disposes of shares within two years after the date of grant or within one year after the date of exercise (a “disqualifying disposition”), the difference between the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date and the option exercise price (not to exceed the gain realized on the sale if the disposition is a transaction with respect to which a loss, if sustained, would be recognized) will be taxed as ordinary income at the time of disposition. Any gain in excess of that amount will be a capital gain. If a loss is recognized, there will be no ordinary income, and such loss will be a capital loss. Any ordinary income recognized by the optionholder upon the disqualifying disposition of the shares generally will result in a deduction by the Company for federal income tax purposes.

Nonqualified Stock Options: Options not designated or qualifying as incentive stock options will be nonqualified stock options having no special tax status. An optionholder generally recognizes no taxable income as the result of the grant of such an option. Upon exercise of a nonqualified stock option, the optionholder normally recognizes ordinary income in the amount of the difference between the option exercise price and the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date. If the optionholder is an employee, such ordinary income generally is subject to withholding of income and employment taxes. Upon the sale of stock acquired by the exercise of a nonqualified stock option, any gain or loss, based on the difference between the sale price and the fair market value on the exercise date, will be taxed as a capital gain or loss. No tax deduction is available to the Company with respect to the grant of a nonqualified stock option or the sale of the stock acquired pursuant to such grant. The Company generally should be entitled to a deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the optionholder as a result of the exercise of a nonqualified stock option.

Other Considerations

The Code allows publicly-held corporations to deduct compensation in excess of $1,000,000 paid to the corporation’s chief executive officer and its four other most highly compensated executive officers if the compensation is payable solely based on the attainment of one or more performance goals and certain statutory requirements are satisfied. The Company intends for stock options granted at fair market value to be deductible by the Company as performance-based compensation not subject to the $1,000,000 limitation on deductibility.

RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

From April 1, 2014 to the present, there have been no (and there are no currently proposed) transactions in which the amount involved exceeded $120,000 to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries was (or is to be) a participant and in which any executive officer, director, nominee for director, 5% beneficial owner of the Company’s Common Stock or member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons had (or will have) a direct or indirect material interest.

32

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Each director, executive officer of the Company, and person who owns more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities is required by Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to report to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) his or her transactions in the Company’s securities. Regulations promulgated by the SEC require the Company to disclose in this Management Proxy Circular and Proxy Statement any reporting violations with respect to the 2015 fiscal year, which came to the Company’s attention based on a review of the applicable filings required by the SEC to report such status as an officer or director or such changes in beneficial ownership as submitted to the Company. These statements are based solely on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Company by its officers, directors and security holders and a representation that such reports accurately reflect all reportable transactions as holdings. The Company believes that its directors and executive officers, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of its equity securities, have complied with all filing requirements of Section 16(a) applicable to such persons for fiscal year ended March 31, 2015.

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

Shareholders wishing to submit proposals on matters appropriate for shareholder action to be presented at Mad Catz’ Annual Meeting of Shareholders may do so in accordance with Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Exchange Act. For such proposals to be included in the Company’s proxy materials relating to its 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, all applicable requirements of Rule 14a-8 must be satisfied and such proposals must be received by the Company at its principal executive offices no later than March 31, 2016. Shareholders wishing to bring a proposal before the 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders in accordance with Canadian laws must provide written notice of such proposal to our Corporate Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company no later than April  30, 2016.

OTHER MATTERS

The Board does not intend to bring any other business before the Meeting, and so far as is known to the Board, no matters are to be brought before the Meeting except as specified in the Notice of the Meeting. In addition to the scheduled items of business, the Meeting may consider shareholder proposals (including proposals omitted from this Management Proxy Circular and Proxy Statement and form of proxy pursuant to the proxy rules of the SEC) and matters relating to the conduct of the Meeting.
