A list of stockholders as of November 5, 2018 will be available for inspection by any stockholder at our principal place of business, 107 Audubon Road, Building 2, Suite 201, Wakefield, MA 01880 USA starting December 7, 2018, during normal business hours, and at the Annual Meeting.

Accompanying this notice of meeting is the Proxy Statement (the “Proxy Statement”). Please review the Proxy Statement carefully and in full prior to voting in relation to the matters set out above as the Proxy Statement has been prepared to help you make an informed decision on such matters.

Shareholders are invited to attend the Annual Meeting. Record shareholders who are unable to attend the Annual Meeting in person are requested to vote by mail by completing, dating and signing the enclosed form of proxy (the “Proxy Card”) and send it in the enclosed envelope to the Company's co-transfer agent, TSX Trust Company, 301-100 Adelaide Street West, Toronto, ON, Canada M5H 4H1, or vote via the Internet, by going to www.voteproxyonline.com and following the instructions on the website, or by fax to Proxy Department 416-595-9593. Non-record shareholders who receive these materials through their broker or other intermediary should follow the instructions provided by their broker or intermediary.

For your vote to be effective, your voting instructions must be received by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”) or by the Company’s transfer agent not later than 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) on December 7, 2018, or, in the case of any adjournment of the Annual Meeting, not less than 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, prior to the time of the rescheduled meeting. The Chair of the Annual Meeting may, at his discretion, accept late proxies or waive the time limit for deposit of proxies, but is under no obligation to accept or reject any late proxy. If you have voted by proxy using the Proxy Card, via fax or the Internet or by phone, any subsequent vote by proxy through any of these methods will cancel any other proxy you may have previously submitted in connection with the Annual Meeting, and only a later dated proxy received prior to the deadline will be counted.

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

The Annual and Special Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) will be held at Security Devices International Inc., 107Audubon Road, Building 2, Suite #210, Wakefield, MA 01880 USA, on December 11, 2018, at 10:00am EST. We are providing the enclosed proxy materials and form of proxy in connection with the solicitation by our Board of Directors (the “Board”) of proxies for this Annual Meeting. This proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) will first be mailed to holders of our voting stock on or about November 16, 2018.

Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, please promptly provide your voting instructions. Your promptness in voting will assist in the expeditious and orderly processing of the proxies and in ensuring that a quorum is present. If you vote your proxy, you may nevertheless attend the Annual Meeting and vote your shares in person if you wish. Please note, however, that if your shares are held of record by a broker or other nominee and you wish to vote in person at the Meeting, you must follow the instructions provided to you by your broker or such other nominee. If you want to revoke your instructions at a later time prior to the vote for any reason, you may do so in the manner described in this Proxy Statement.

All dollar amounts referred to in this Proxy Statement are in United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

You are receiving this Proxy Statement and proxy card because you were a stockholder of record at the close of business on November 5, 2018 and are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. This Proxy Statement describes issues on which we would like you, as a stockholder, to vote. It provides information on these issues so that you can make an informed decision. You do not need to attend the Annual Meeting to vote your shares of common stock.

When you sign the proxy card you appoint Dean Thrasher, our Executive Chairman, and if Mr. Thrasher is unavailable, Bryan Ganz, our President, and if neither of them is available, Paul Jensen, our Chief Executive Officer, as your representative at the Annual Meeting. As your representatives, they will vote your shares of common stock at the Annual Meeting (or any adjournments or postponements) as you have instructed them on your proxy card. With proxy voting, your shares will be voted whether or not you attend the Annual Meeting. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, it is a good idea to complete, sign and return your proxy card in advance of the Annual Meeting, just in case your plans change.

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

The Board has fixed November 5, 2018, as the record date for the Annual Meeting. Only holders of shares of our voting stock as of the close of business on that date will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

As of November 5, 2019, we had 101,976,900 shares of common stock (a “Share” or the “Shares”) issued and outstanding.

The Board recommends that you vote “FOR” each of the numbered proposals listed above.

In addition, you may be asked to vote in respect of any other matters that may properly be brought before the Meeting. As of the date of this Proxy Statement, the Board is not aware of any such other matters.

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

The voting process is different depending on whether you are a record (registered) or non-record shareholder.

If you are a non-record shareholder, your intermediary will send you a voting instruction form or proxy form with this Proxy Statement. This form will instruct the intermediary how to vote your shares at the Meeting on your behalf. You should carefully follow the instructions provided by the intermediary and contact the intermediary promptly if you need help. The Company intends to pay for delivery of proxy materials to beneficial owners.

If you are a non-registered owner, and the Company 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, the issuer (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.

If you do not intend to attend the Meeting and vote in person, mark your voting instructions on the voting instruction form or proxy form, sign it, and return it as instructed by your intermediary. Your intermediary may have also provided you with the option of voting by telephone or fax or through the Internet.

If you wish to vote in person at the Meeting, follow the instructions provided by your intermediary. Your intermediary may have also provided you with the option of appointing yourself or someone else to attend and vote on your behalf at the Meeting through the Internet. When you arrive at the Meeting, please register with the Inspector of Elections.

Your intermediary must receive your voting instructions in sufficient time for your intermediary to act on them prior to the deadline for the deposit of proxies of 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Daylight Time) on December 7, 2018, or at least 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the time of the scheduled Meeting.

If you are a record shareholder, a Proxy Card is enclosed with this Proxy Statement to enable you to vote, or to appoint a proxyholder to vote on your behalf, at the Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the Meeting, you may vote your shares by proxy by any one of the following methods:

By mail: Mark, sign and date your Proxy Card and send to TSX Trust Company (“TSX Trust”) 301-100 Adelaide Street West, Toronto, ON, Canada M5H 4H1. TSX Trust must receive your Proxy Card not later than 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Daylight Time) on December 7, 2018 in order for your vote to be counted. If the Meeting is adjourned or postponed, TSX Trust must receive your Proxy Card at least 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, before the rescheduled Meeting.

By Facsimile: Fax your Proxy Card to the attention of the Proxy Department 416-595-9593.

Via the Internet: Go to www.voteproxyonline.com and follow the instructions on the website prior to 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Daylight Time) on December 7, 2018.

We provide Internet proxy voting to allow you to vote your common stock online, with procedures designed to ensure the authenticity and correctness of your proxy vote instructions. However, please be aware that you must bear any costs associated with your Internet access, such as usage charges from Internet access providers and telephone companies.

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

If you are a non-registered Shareholder, you can revoke your prior voting instructions by providing new instructions on a voting instruction form or proxy form with a later date, or at a later time in the case of voting by telephone or through the Internet. Otherwise, contact your Intermediary if you want to revoke your proxy or change your voting instructions, or if you change your mind and want to vote in person. Any new voting instructions given to intermediaries in connection with the revocation with proxies must be received in sufficient time to allow intermediaries to act on such instructions prior to the deadline for the deposit of proxies of 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Daylight Time) December 7, 2018, or at least 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) prior to the time of the rescheduled Meeting.

If you are a record shareholder, you may revoke any proxy that you have given until the time of the Meeting by voting again over the Internet as instructed above, by signing and dating a new Proxy Card and submitting it as instructed above, by giving written notice of such revocation to the Corporate Secretary of the Company at our address, by revoking it in person at the Annual Meeting, or by voting by ballot at the Annual Meeting. If you choose to submit a proxy multiple times whether by over the Internet or by mail, or a combination thereof, only your latest vote, not revoked and received prior to 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Daylight Time) on December 7, 2018 (or 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, before the rescheduled Meeting) will be counted. A record shareholder participating in person, in a vote by ballot at the Meeting, will automatically revoke any proxy previously given by that shareholder regarding business considered by that vote. However, attendance at the Annual Meeting by a registered shareholder who has voted by proxy does not alone revoke such proxy.

To conduct the Annual Meeting, we must have a quorum, which means that one-third of our outstanding voting shares as of the record date must be present at the Annual Meeting. Based on 101,976,900 shares of common stock issued and outstanding as of the Record Date, 33,652,377 shares of common stock must be present, in person or by proxy, for a quorum to be present at the Annual Meeting.

Abstentions with respect to a proposal are counted for the purposes of establishing a quorum. If a quorum is present, abstentions will not be included in vote totals.

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

Brokers and other intermediaries, holding shares of common stock in street name for their customers, are generally required to vote the shares of common stock in the manner directed by their customers. If their customers do not give any direction, brokers may vote the shares of common stock on routine matters, but not on non-routine matters (a “broker non-vote”). Proposal No. 1 and Proposal No. 3 are non-routine matter. Accordingly, if you have not provided your broker with voting directions on these proposals, your broker will not be able to vote your shares with respect to Proposal No. 1 (the election of directors) or the approval of Proposals No. 3 (the Amendment). The ratification of the appointment of UHY McGovern Hurley LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is considered a routine matter, and brokers will be able to vote your shares if you have not provided voting directions with respect to Proposal No. 2.

Any shares of common stock represented at the Annual Meeting but not voted (whether by abstention, broker non-vote or otherwise) will have no impact in the election of Directors except to the extent that the failure to vote for an individual results in another individual receiving a larger proportion of votes cast. Any shares of common stock represented at the Annual Meeting but not voted (whether by abstention, broker non-vote or otherwise) with respect to Proposals No. 1-through 3 (except No. 2) will have the same effect as a vote against such proposal. In recognition of our desire to have every stockholder vote count, we encourage our stockholders to instruct their brokers to vote their shares.

Proposal No. 1: The Nominees for election as Directors at the Annual Meeting will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. The Nominees with the most votes will be elected. A properly executed proxy card marked WITHHELD with respect to the election of Directors will not be voted and will not count FOR or AGAINST any of the Nominees.

Proposal No. 2: The ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accountant will be approved if a majority of the voting shares present at the Annual Meeting vote FOR the proposal. A properly executed proxy card marked ABSTAIN with respect to this proposal will have the same effect as a vote cast AGAINST this proposal.

Proposal No. 3: The approval of the amendment of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock to 300,000,000 will be approved if a majority of the voting shares present at the Annual Meeting vote FOR the proposal. A properly executed proxy card marked ABSTAIN with respect to this proposal will have the same effect as a vote cast AGAINST this proposal.

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

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

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

Your shares of common stock will be voted or withheld from voting as you indicate on your proxy card. If you just sign your proxy card with no further instructions, your shares of common stock will be voted (a) FOR each nominee for election to the Board for terms expiring at the next annual meeting of stockholders, (b) FOR Proposal No. 2, and (c) FOR Proposal No. 3.

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

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

When are stockholder proposals due for the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders?

In order to be considered for inclusion in the 2019 proxy statement, stockholder proposals must be submitted in writing to our Secretary, Dean Thrasher, at Security Devices International Inc., 107 Audubon Road, Building 2, Suite #201, Wakefield, MA 01880 USA, and received no later than September 27, 2019, provided that this date may be changed in the event that the date of the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in calendar year 2019 is changed by more than 30 days from the date of this Annual Meeting.

Are there any proposals currently anticipated for the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders?

There are no proposals currently anticipated for the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

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

If requested, we will provide copies of the exhibits for a reasonable fee. Requests for additional paper copies of the Financial Statements should be mailed to: 107 Audubon Road, Building 2, Suite #201, Wakefield, MA 01880 USA, Attention: Paul Jensen.

Our current bylaws require the Board to have at least one (1) and no more than ten (10) Directors. The current Board is composed of five (5) Directors, of whom five (5) are standing for election at the Annual Meeting. Paul Jensen, a current Director standing for election, was appointed to the Board on July 24, 2018. In accordance with the Bylaws of the Company, the Board of Directors intends to fix the number of Directors to five (5) following the Annual Meeting.

No, the Board is not divided into classes. All Directors serve one-year terms until their successors are elected and qualified at the next annual meeting of our stockholders.

The Board has nominated the following five (5) Nominees, for election at the Annual Meeting, to hold office until the 2019 annual meeting of stockholders:

Should any one or more of these Nominees become unable or unwilling to serve, which is not anticipated, the Board may designate substitute nominees. In such event, the proxy representatives will vote proxies that otherwise would be voted for the named Nominees for the election of such substitute nominee or nominees.

Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

The Board recommends a vote FOR each of the Nominees. All proxies executed and returned without an indication of how shares of common stock should be voted will be voted FOR the election of all Nominees.

Rakesh Malhotra, SDI’s CFO, served as the CFO for Pacific Copper Corp., a US reporting issuer from April 2007 to October 2013. On October 28, 2008, Pacific Copper Corp. received a cease trade order (the “CTO”) from the British Columbian Securities Commission (the “BCSC”). By its terms, the CTO was issued for not filing a technical report under ‘Canadian National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for mineral projects (“NI 43-101”) with respect to its material copper oxide projects in Chile in support of mineral reserve and mineral reserve estimates and results of a preliminary assessment, after having made public disclosures regarding such properties. On May 8, 2009, the BCSC revoked its CTO against the Company. In order to comply with legislation, Pacific Copper Corp. filed technical reports under Canadian National Instrument 43-101 with respect to each of the mineral projects.

To the best of Management’s knowledge, except as listed below, none of our directors or executive officers, and none of our stockholders holding a sufficient number of our securities to affect materially the control of the Company:

Bryan Ganz, President and a director of the Company served as the chief executive officer of GPX International Tire &Wheel, Co. (“GPX”) In 2007 Titan Tire & Wheel and Bridgestone Tire filed an anti-dumping and countervailing duty suit against GPX. The suit alleged that GPX was dumping products produced in a Chinese factory and receiving subsidies from the Chinese government. The Court of International Trade decided for the plaintiffs and imposed a 44% duty on all GPX products coming into the United States. Although GPX was ultimately successful in the Federal District Court and Federal Appeals Court in overturning the decision of the Court, International Trade (CIT) (in a unanimous decision in December of 2011), it was too late as the company had been forced to file for bankruptcy protection when its lender group called the loan at the time the CIT decision was originally rendered in mid-2009.

To the best of Management’s knowledge, none of our directors, executive officers nor any stockholder holding 5% or more of any of our securities has been subject to:

Other than “routine indebtedness” as defined in National Instrument 51-102 of the Canadian Securities Administrators, since the beginning of our last fiscal year, none of our executive officers or Directors or any proposed nominee for election as a Director or any of their respective associates is or has been indebted to us or has been indebted to any other entity where that indebtedness was the subject of a guarantee, support agreement, letter of credit or other similar arrangement or understanding provided by us.

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

Following the Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders, if five directors are elected the Board intends to fix the size of the Board at five members.

An “independent” director is a director whom the Board has determined satisfies the requirements for independence under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, section 10A(m)(3) and under section 803A of the NYSE MKT LLC Company Guide (note-our common shares are not currently listed on the NYSE-MKT or any other national securities exchange and this reference is used for definitional purposes only).

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

The Board is currently comprised of Dean Thrasher, who serves as our Executive Chairman, and four other members. We have two independent directors and three directors who are not independent. The Board believes that there is no single best organizational model that is the most effective in all circumstances and that the shareholders’ interests are best served by allowing the Board to retain the flexibility to determine the optimal organizational structure for the Company at a given time.

During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2017, the Board held 8 meetings. All directors attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board of Directors and the committees on which such director serves).

Board members are not required to attend the Annual Meeting. At the 2017 Annual Meeting 100% of Directors attended.

Stockholders who are interested in communicating directly with members of the Board, or the Board as a group, may do so by writing directly to the individual Board member c/o Secretary, Dean Thrasher, Security Devices International Inc., 107 Audubon Road, Building 2, Suite #201, Wakefield, MA 01880 USA.

The understanding, identification and management of risk are essential elements for the successful management of the Company.

Risk oversight begins with the Board and the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is chaired by Bryan Ganz, and one of three directors is independent that sit on the Audit Committee.

The Audit Committee reviews and discusses policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management. The Audit Committee also has oversight responsibility with respect to the integrity of our financial reporting process regarding finance and accounting, as well as our financial statements.

At the management level, an internal audit provides reliable and timely information to the Board and management regarding our effectiveness in identifying and appropriately controlling risks.

We also have a comprehensive internal risk framework, which facilitates performance of risk oversight by the Board and the Audit Committee. Our risk management framework is designed to:

In 2015, the Company extended the expiry date of 800,000 warrants issued to Level 4 Capital Corp. in 2012 from original expiry date of January 4, 2016 to September 23, 2019.

During the year 2017, the compensation was paid partly by payroll and partly to a corporation in which Mr. Thrasher has an ownership interest.

As further described below, we are a party to a consulting agreement which provides for the services of Dean Thrasher for 7 remaining months, with renewal features at the expiry dates. The renewals are not automatic. Pursuant to the agreement, compensation is payable for termination of his agreement in certain circumstances, including termination without cause and change of control. The agreement provides for the payment of compensation that will be triggered by a termination of the agreement by either us or the executive officer following a change of control of us, or by us at any time, other than for “cause.”

The Company executed a consulting agreement with a corporation owned by Mr. Thrasher and later designated executive chairman, effective July 1, 2018 providing services as executive chairman of the Company. The contract, unless renewed expires on March 31, 2019. During the service term, the Company will pay $3,500 per month and in addition, be issued 180,000 common shares of the Company on a quarterly basis until the end of the term. Each quarterly installment is due the 15^th day of the following month after the quarter. The common shares will be priced at the volume weighted average trading price per common share over the 20-day period preceding the due date.

Effective as of October 1, 2017, the Company entered into an employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) with Paul Jensen pursuant to which Mr. Jensen serves as President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company.

The Company paid a retainer of $10,500 and is committed to pay $2,625 on monthly basis. Early termination of the contract by the Company without cause or change in control will attract a termination payment of $20,000.

On April 13, 2018, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) with André Buys (the Company’s CTO), a resident of South Africa, pursuant to which the Company purchased from Mr. Buys a portfolio of registered patents, provisional patents, and other intellectual property relating to air and/or gas fired long guns or pistols, including pump action launchers and munitions used with such pistols and long guns, including self-stabilizing shaped or “finned” rounds (the “Portfolio”).

The options shall have a seven- year life from grant date and Andre Buys must remain employed by the Company for three years in order for the options to vest, and (iv) agreed to pay Mr. Buys certain royalty payments for sales of products by the Company using technology covered by the Portfolio. Until the earlier of, the second anniversary or the date the Second Payment is made, the royalty will be 10% of the Net Sales Price (“NSP”). The royalty will then be reduced to 4% till the sixth anniversary, 3% till the eighth anniversary, and 2% till the last expiration date of any of the intellectual property in the Portfolio. Until the royalty exceeds $25,000 per year, the Company is committed to a minimum payment of $25,000 per year effective on the earlier of one year from closing or upon Andre Buys relocation to Boston. In the event that the Company fails to make the Second Payment, the Portfolio would revert to Mr. Buys, but the Company would retain perpetual, irrevocable, exclusive and non-exclusive licenses to use technology with respect to the Portfolio and any technology developed within two years of April 13, 2018.
