The enclosed proxy is solicited on behalf of our Board of Directors (the "Board") for use at the Special Meeting of Stockholders (the "Meeting") to be held on September 26, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. (local time) at 400 - 570 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, or at any continuation, postponement or adjournment thereof, for the purposes discussed in this proxy statement and in the accompanying Notice of Special Meeting and any business properly brought before the Meeting.  Proxies are solicited to give all stockholders of record an opportunity to vote on matters properly presented at the Meeting.  We intend to mail this proxy statement and accompanying proxy card on or about August 25, 2014 to all stockholders entitled to vote at the Meeting.


Unless the context requires otherwise, references to "we", "us" "our" and "Neurokine" refer to Neurokine Pharmaceuticals Inc.


Who Can Vote


You are entitled to vote if you were a holder of record of Common Shares, (the "Common Shares") as of the close of business on August 18, 2014 (the "Record Date"). Your shares can be voted at the Meeting only if you are present in person or represented by a valid proxy.


Shares Outstanding and Quorum


Holders of record of Common Shares at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Meeting.  At the Meeting, each of the Common Shares represented will be entitled to one (1) vote on each matter properly brought before the Meeting.  As of August 18, 2014, the record date, there were 73,267,073 Common Shares issued and outstanding.


In order to carry on the business of the Meeting, we must have a quorum.  Under our bylaws, a quorum is two persons, present and being, or representing by proxy, members holding not less than one-twentieth of the shares which may be voted at the Meeting.


Proxy Card and Revocation of Proxy


In voting, please specify your choices by marking the appropriate spaces on the enclosed proxy card, signing and dating the proxy card and returning it in the accompanying envelope.  If no directions are given and the signed proxy is returned, the proxy holders will vote the shares in favor of Proposals 1 through 5 and, at their discretion, on any other matters that may properly come before the Meeting.  The Board knows of no other business that will be presented for consideration at the Meeting.  In addition, since no stockholder proposals or nominations were received by us on a timely basis, no such matters may be brought at the Meeting.


Any stockholder giving a proxy has the power to revoke the proxy at any time before the proxy is voted.  In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked by an instrument in writing executed by the stockholder or by his attorney authorized in writing, or, if the stockholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized, and deposited at the offices of our transfer agent, Island Stock Transfer, 100 Second Avenue South, Suite 705S, St. Petersburg, FL  33701, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof, or with the chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting.  Attendance at the Meeting will not in and of itself constitute revocation of a proxy.

Voting of Shares


Stockholders of record on August 18, 2014 record date are entitled to one (1) vote for each Common Share held on all matters to be voted upon at the Meeting.  You may vote in person or by completing and mailing the enclosed proxy card.  All shares entitled to vote and represented by properly executed proxies received before the polls are closed at the Meeting, and not revoked or superseded, will be voted at the Meeting in accordance with the instructions indicated on those proxies.


ADVICE TO BENEFICIAL HOLDERS OF COMMON SHARES


THE INFORMATION SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION IS OF SIGNIFICANT IMPORTANCE TO MANY STOCKHOLDERS OF OUR COMPANY, AS A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF STOCKHOLDERS DO NOT HOLD SHARES IN THEIR OWN NAME.


Stockholders who do not hold their shares in their own name (referred to in this Proxy Statement as “beneficial stockholders”) should note that only proxies deposited by stockholders whose names appear on the records of our company as the registered holders of Common Shares can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting.  If the Common Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a stockholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those Common Shares will not be registered in the stockholder's name on the records of our company.  Such Common Shares will more likely be registered under the names of the stockholder's broker or an agent of that broker.  In the United States, the vast majority of such shares are registered under the name of Cede & Co. as nominee for The Depository Trust Company (which acts as depository for many U.S. brokerage firms and custodian banks), and in Canada, under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited, which acts as nominee and custodian for many Canadian brokerage firms).  Beneficial stockholders should ensure that instructions respecting the voting of their Common Shares are communicated to the appropriate person, as without specific instructions, brokers/nominees are prohibited from voting shares for their clients.


Applicable regulatory policy requires intermediaries/brokers to seek voting instructions from beneficial stockholders in advance of stockholders' meetings, unless the beneficial stockholders have waived the right to receive meeting materials.  Every intermediary/broker has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients, which should be carefully followed by beneficial stockholders in order to ensure that their Common Shares are voted at the Meeting.  The Form of Proxy supplied to a beneficial stockholder by its broker (or the agent of the broker) is similar to the Form of Proxy provided to registered stockholders by our company.  However, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered stockholder (the broker or agent of the broker) how to vote on behalf of the beneficial stockholder.  The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”) (formerly, ADP Investor Communication Services in the United States and Independent Investor Communications Company in Canada).  Broadridge typically applies a special sticker to proxy forms, mails those forms to the beneficial stockholders and the beneficial stockholders return the proxy forms to Broadridge.  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 stockholder receiving a Broadridge proxy cannot use that proxy to vote Common Shares directly at the Meeting - the proxy must be returned to Broadridge well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Common Shares voted.


Although a beneficial stockholder may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting Common Shares registered in the name of his broker (or agent of the broker), a beneficial stockholder may attend at our Meeting as proxyholder for the registered stockholder and vote the Common Shares in that capacity.  Beneficial stockholders who wish to attend at the Meeting and indirectly vote their Common Shares as proxyholder for the registered stockholder should enter their own names in the blank space on the instrument 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 (or agent), well in advance of the Meeting.


Alternatively, a beneficial stockholder may request in writing that his or her broker send to the beneficial stockholder a legal proxy which would enable the beneficial stockholder to attend at the Meeting and vote his or her Common Shares.

There are two kinds of beneficial owners – those who object to their name being made known to the issuers of securities which they own (called OBOs for Objecting Beneficial Owners) and those who do not object to the issuers of the securities they own knowing who they are (called NOBOs for Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners). Pursuant to National Instrument 54-101, issuers can obtain a list of their NOBOs from intermediaries for distribution of proxy-related materials directly to NOBOs.


YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT.


Counting of Votes


All votes will be tabulated by the inspector of election appointed for the Meeting, who will separately tabulate affirmative and negative votes and abstentions. Shares represented by proxies that reflect abstentions as to a particular proposal will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum.  An abstention is counted as a vote against that proposal.  Shares represented by proxies that reflect a broker "non-vote" will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum.  A broker "non-vote" will be treated as not-voted for purposes of determining approval of a proposal and will not be counted as "for" or "against" that proposal.  A broker "non-vote" occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary authority or does not have instructions from the beneficial owner.


Solicitation of Proxies


We will bear the entire cost of solicitation of proxies, including preparation, assembly and mailing of this proxy statement, the proxy and any additional information furnished to stockholders.  Copies of solicitation materials will be furnished to banks, brokerage houses, depositories, fiduciaries and custodians holding Common Shares in their names that are beneficially owned by others to forward to these beneficial owners.  We may reimburse persons representing beneficial owners for their costs of forwarding the solicitation material to the beneficial owners of the Common Shares.  Original solicitation of proxies by mail may be supplemented by telephone, facsimile, electronic mail or personal solicitation by our directors, officers or other regular employees.  No additional compensation will be paid to directors, officers or other regular employees for such services.  To date, we have not incurred costs in connection with the solicitation of proxies from our stockholders, however, our estimate for total costs is $8,000.


INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN OR OPPOSITION TO MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON


Except as disclosed elsewhere in this Proxy Statement, since January 31, 2014, being the commencement of our last completed financial year, none of the following persons has any substantial interest, direct or indirect, by security holdings or otherwise in any matter to be acted upon:


1.

any director or officer of our company;


2.

any proposed nominee for election as a director of our company; and



3.

any associate or affiliate of any of the foregoing persons.


The shareholdings of our directors and officers are listed below in the section entitled "Principal Stockholders and Security Ownership of Management". To our knowledge, no director has advised that he intends to oppose the Amendments to our authorized capital or to the Sale, as more particularly described herein.

PROPOSAL NO. 1 – PCP REMOVAL


On July 21, 2004, our company was transitioned from the Company Act (British Columbia) to the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) ("BCBCA") as was required by law (the "Transition").  Upon transition, our company did not remove the Pre-Existing Company Provisions carried over by the Transition.


The Pre-Existing Company Provisions carry over certain requirements that our company was subject to under the former Company Act (British Columbia). E xample s of Pre-Existing Company Provisions related to our company are:


(a)

majority of votes required for a pre-existing company to pass a special resolution at a general meeting of shareholders is 3/4 of the votes cast on that resolution; .

(b)

the issue price for a share without par value must be set by a special resolution;

(c)

shares of a company are to be purchased rateably - before a company purchases any of its shares, it must make an offer, to every shareholder who holds shares of the class or series of shares to be purchased, to purchase rateably from those shareholders the number of shares of that class or series of shares that the company wishes to purchase; and

(d)

shares of a company are to be redeemed rateably - if a company proposes to redeem some but not all of the shares of a particular class or series of shares, it must ensure that the redemption is made rateably among every shareholder who holds shares of the class or series of shares to be redeemed.


In order to take full advantage of the flexibility offered by the BCBCA, our company’s shareholders will be asked to adopt a special resolution authorizing the alteration of the Notice of Articles , attached as Schedule "A", to remove the application of the Pre-Existing Company Provisions.


In light of the foregoing, the shareholders will be asked to consider and, if appropriate, approve the following as a special resolution requiring approval by at least 3/4 of the votes cast at the Meeting:


“BE IT RESOLVED, as a special resolution:


1.

The Pre-Existing Company Provisions set forth in Table 3 of the Regulations to the BCBCA (the "Pre-Existing Company Provisions") be removed and no longer apply to our company;


2.

Any one director or officer of our company be and is hereby authorized and directed, for and on behalf and in the name of our company, to execute and deliver the Notice of Alteration and any supporting documentation required for the purpose of giving effect to these resolutions; and



3.

The removal of the Pre-Existing Company Provisions shall not take effect until the Notice of Alteration is filed with the Registrar of Companies.”


Should Proposal No. 1 not pass, the Pre-Existing Company Provisions of our company will remain in effect.


A copy of Table 3 of the Regulations to the BCBCA is attached as Schedule " B".


Our board of directors urges you to vote "FOR" this Proposal No. 1 to approve the removal of the Pre-Existing Company Provisions



7



PROPOSAL NO. 2 – ARTICLE ADOPTION


Our company proposes to amend its Charter to delete and cancel the existing Articles of our company, and to replace them in their entirety with the proposed Articles attached as Schedule “C ” hereto.

Differences in the proposed Articles:

(a)

Special resolutions of shareholders can be passed by 2/3 of the votes cast, rather than 3/4 of the votes cast.

(b)

Shareholders can receive a share certificate or a non-transferable written acknowledgement of the shareholder's right to obtain such a share certificate.

(c)

The location of the central securities register may be located inside or outside of British Columbia.

(d)

An alteration of authorized share structure of the company may be approved by a director's resolution.

(e)

A change of name of the company may be approved by a director's resolution.

(f)

Consolidation or subdivision of the company's issued and/or unissued shares may be approved by a director's resolution.


The company's current Articles require the company to appoint a President and Secretary.  Pursuant to the BCBCA, the appointment of a President and Secretary is no longer required.  Under the proposed Articles, the directors may appoint officers, if any, as they determine, at any time and may terminate any such appointment.


In addition, t he proposed Articles set out the authorized share structure and the rights and restrictions to the shares as is required under BCBCA. The shareholders will be asked to consider and, if appropriate, approve the following as a special resolution requiring approval by at least 3/4 of the votes cast at the Meeting:


“BE IT RESOLVED, as a special resolution, that, subject the filing of a Notice of Alteration removing the application of the Pre-Existing Company Provisions, the Articles of our company be altered by deleting and cancelling its existing Articles and creating and adopting the Articles set out in Schedule A as the Articles of our company.”


Should Proposal No. 1 not pass, the current Articles will remain in effect.


Our board of directors urges you to vote "FOR" this Proposal No. 2 to approve the removal of the Pre-Existing Company Provisions


PROPOSAL NO. 3 - CONSOLIDATION


General


Our board of directors has approved, and recommended that our stockholders approve, a proposal to permit our board of directors, in their sole discretion, to effect a Consolidation of our issued and outstanding shares of common shares on a basis of up to 100 old for one (1) new share (the "Consolidation").


If our stockholders approve the Consolidation, and our board of directors decides to implement it, the Consolidation


will become effective upon approval of The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA").




8



Even if the stockholders approve the Consolidation, we may abandon or postpone the proposal if our board of directors determines that it is no longer in the best interests of our company and our stockholders. If the Consolidation is not implemented by our board of directors within 12 months of the special meeting, the proposal will be deemed abandoned, without further effect. In that case, our board of directors may again seek stockholder approval at a future date if it deems a Consolidation to be advisable at that time.


Reasons for the Consolidation


Our common shares is quoted on the Pink Sheets of the OTC Markets under the symbol “NEUKF”. Our shares of common shares have traded at very low prices for some time. As of July 31, 2014, the last reported closing price of the Company’s common shares was $0.0044. The Consolidation is intended to increase the per share stock price. We believe that the Consolidation will make our common shares more attractive to a broader range of institutional and other investors, as we have been advised that the current market price of our common shares may affect its acceptability to certain institutional investors, professional investors and other members of the investing public. Many brokerage houses and institutional investors have internal policies and practices that either prohibit them from investing in low priced stocks or tend to discourage individual brokers from recommending low-priced stocks to their customers. In addition, some of those policies and practices may function to make the processing of trades in low-priced stocks economically unattractive to brokers. Moreover, because brokers’ commissions on low-priced stocks generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher priced stocks, the current average price per share of common shares can result in individual stockholders paying transaction costs representing a higher percentage of their total share value than would be the case if the share price were substantially higher. We believe that the Consolidation will make our common shares a more attractive and cost effective investment for many investors, which will enhance the liquidity of the holders of our common shares. Accordingly, we believe that approval of the Consolidation is in our company’s and our stockholders’ best interests.


Reducing the number of outstanding shares of our common shares through the Consolidation is intended, absent other factors, to increase the per share market price of our common shares. However, other factors, such as our financial results, market conditions and the market perception of our business may adversely affect the market price of our common shares. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Consolidation, if completed, will result in the intended benefits described above, that the market price of our common shares will increase following the Consolidation or that the market price of our common shares will not decrease in the future. Additionally, we cannot assure you that the market price per share of our common shares after a Consolidation will increase in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of our common shares outstanding before the Consolidation. Accordingly, the total market capitalization of our common shares after the Consolidation may be lower than the total market capitalization before the Consolidation.


Effects of the Consolidation


Principal Effects of the Consolidation.  Our company currently has 73,267,073 Common Shares issued and outstanding.  Approximately 732,670 Common Shares will be issued and outstanding following the Consolidation, subject to adjustment for fractional shares.  Our company currently has an unlimited number of Common Shares authorized and this will not change with the Consolidation.


No fractional post-consolidation shares will be issued and no cash consideration will be paid by our company in place of fractional shares.  Any fractional shares resulting from the Consolidation will be rounded up to the nearest whole number, in accordance with the provisions of section 83 of the BCBCA.


Any existing stock options or warrants will automatically adjust in accordance with the Consolidation ratio, namely, one post-consolidation security for every 100 pre-consolidation securities, with a corresponding increase to the various exercise prices, if the Consolidation is completed.




9



Effect on Outstanding Options, Warrants, Right and Convertible Securities.  As required by their terms, all outstanding options, warrants, rights and convertible securities at the time of the Consolidation will be appropriately adjusted for the Consolidation automatically on the effective date of the Consolidation. The number of shares subject to outstanding options and warrants will be reduced by the Consolidation ratio and the exercise prices for outstanding options will be proportionately increased.


No Dissent Rights.  Under the BCBCA, stockholders to not have dissent and appraisal rights with respect to the proposed Consolidation.


Regulatory Effects.  The proposed Consolidation will not affect the registration of our common shares under the Exchange Act or our company’s obligation to publicly file financial and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  If the proposed Consolidation is implemented, our common shares will continue to be quoted on the Pink Sheets under the symbol "NEUKF" (although the OTC Markets would likely add the letter “D” to the end of the trading symbol for a period of 20 trading days to indicate that the Consolidation has occurred).


No Going Private Transaction.  Notwithstanding the decrease in the number of outstanding shares following the proposed Consolidation, our board of directors does not intend for this transaction to be the first step in a series of plans or proposals of a “going private transaction” within the meaning of Rule 13e-3 of the Exchange Act.  The Consolidation will not be the first step in a series of plans or proposals of a going private transaction.


The Proposed Consolidation May Not Increase our company’s Stock Price over the Long-Term, Which Would Prevent our Company From Realizing Some of the Anticipated Benefits of the Consolidation.  Our board of directors expects that a Consolidation of our common shares will likely increase the market price of our common shares immediately following the Consolidation.  However, the effect of a Consolidation upon the market price of our common shares cannot be predicted with any certainty, and the history of similar stock split combinations for companies in like circumstances is varied.  It is possible that the per share price of our common shares after the Consolidation will not rise in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of our common shares outstanding resulting from the Consolidation.


The Proposed Consolidation May Decrease the Liquidity of our company’s Stock.  The liquidity of our common shares may be harmed by the proposed Consolidation given the reduced number of shares that would be outstanding after the Consolidation, particularly if the stock price does not increase as a result of the Consolidation.


Board Discretion to Implement the Consolidation


If the Consolidation is approved by the stockholders, it will be effected, if at all, only upon a determination by our board of directors that a Consolidation is in the best interests of our company and our stockholders at the time of such determination.  Such determination will be based upon factors our board of directors deems appropriate, including without limitation our company’s then current stock price, the existing and expected marketability and liquidity of our common shares and prevailing market conditions.  Notwithstanding approval of the Consolidation by our stockholders, our board of directors may, in their sole discretion, determine not to effect the Consolidation.  If our board of directors does not implement the Consolidation prior to the one year anniversary of the receipt of the requisite stockholder approval at the Speical Meeting or any adjournment thereof, stockholder approval would be required again prior to implementing any Consolidation.


Amendment Effective Time


The effective date of the Consolidation will be the date on which FINRA approves the Consolidation.  On the effective date of the Consolidation, shares of our common shares issued and outstanding immediately prior thereto will be combined and converted, automatically and without any action on the part of our stockholders, into new shares of our common shares in accordance with the Consolidation ratio determined by our board of directors within the limits set forth in this Proposal No. 3.




10



Required Vote


Approval of Proposal No. 3, a Special Resolution, requires the affirmative vote, of 3/4 of shares (represented either in person or by proxy) present at the meeting.  Abstentions and broker “non-votes” will be counted for quorum purposes but will not count towards adoption of the Proposal No. 3 and will be treated as abstentions.


Our board of directors urges you to vote "FOR" this Proposal No. 3 to approve the Consolidation.


"HOUSEHOLDING" OF PROXY MATERIAL


The Securities and Exchange Commission permits companies and intermediaries (e.g. brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those stockholders.  This process, commonly referred to as "householding", potentially means extra conveniences for stockholders and cost savings for companies.


A number of brokers with accountholders who are stockholders of our Company will be "householding" our proxy materials.  As indicated in the notice previously provided by these brokers to stockholders, a single proxy statement will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from an affected stockholder.  Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be "householding" communications to your address, "householding" will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent.  If at any time, you no longer wish to participate in "householding" and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement, please notify your broker.


Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the proxy statement at their address and would like to request "householding" of their communications should contact their broker.


OTHER BUSINESS


The Board knows of no other business that will be presented for consideration at the Meeting.  If other matters are properly brought before the Meeting; however, it is the intention of the persons named in the accompanying proxy to vote the shares represented thereby on such matters in accordance with their best judgment.


If there are insufficient votes to approve any of the proposals contained herein, the Board may adjourn the Meeting to a later date and solicit additional proxies.  If a vote is required to approve such adjournment, the proxies will be voted in favor of such adjournment.


By Order of the Board of Directors,

ELECTION AND REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS


Election at Annual General Meeting


At every annual general meeting and in every unanimous resolution contemplated by Article 10.2:


the shareholders entitled to vote at the annual general meeting for the election of directors must elect, or in the unanimous resolution appoint, a board of directors consisting of the number of directors for the time being set under these Articles; and


all the directors cease to hold office immediately before the election or appointment of directors under paragraph (1), but are eligible for re-election or re-appointment.


Consent to be a Director


No election, appointment or designation of an individual as a director is valid unless:


that individual consents to be a director in the manner provided for in the Business Corporations Act;

the date on which his or her successor is elected or appointed; and


the date on which he or she otherwise ceases to hold office under the Business Corporations Act or these Articles.


Places of Retiring Directors Not Filled


If, at any meeting of shareholders at which there should be an election of directors, the places of any of the retiring directors are not filled by that election, those retiring directors who are not re-elected and who are asked by the newly elected directors to continue in office will, if willing to do so, continue in office to complete the number of directors for the time being set pursuant to these Articles until further new directors are elected at a meeting of shareholders convened for that purpose. If any such election or continuance of directors does not result in the election or continuance of the number of directors for the time being set pursuant to these Articles, the number of directors of the Company is deemed to be set at the number of directors actually elected or continued in office.


Directors May Fill Casual Vacancies,


Any casual vacancy occurring in the board of directors may be filled by the directors.


Remaining Directors Power to Act


The directors may act notwithstanding any vacancy in the board of directors, but if the Company has fewer directors in office than the number set pursuant to these Articles as the quorum of directors, the directors may only act for the purpose of appointing directors up to that number or of summoning a meeting of shareholders for the purpose of filling any vacancies on the board of directors or, subject to the Business Corporations Act, for any other purpose.


Shareholders May Fill Vacancies


If the Company has no directors or fewer directors in office than the number set pursuant to these Articles as the quorum of directors, the shareholders may elect or appoint directors to fill any vacancies on the board of directors.


Additional Directors

one-third of the number of first directors, if, at the time of the appointments, one or more of the first directors have not yet completed their first term of office; or


in any other case, one-third of the number of the current directors who were elected or appointed as directors other than under this Article 14.8.



28



Any director so appointed ceases to hold office immediately before the next election or appointment of directors under Article 14.1(a), but is eligible for re-election or re-appointment.

the director is removed from office pursuant to Articles 14.10 or 14.11.


Removal of Director by Shareholders


The Company may remove any director before the expiration of his or her term of office by special resolution. In that event, the shareholders may elect, or appoint by ordinary resolution, a director to fill the resulting vacancy. If the shareholders do not elect or appoint a director to fill the resulting vacancy contemporaneously with the removal, then the directors may appoint or the shareholders may elect, or appoint by ordinary resolution, a director to fill that vacancy.


Removal of Director by Directors


The directors may remove any director before the expiration of his or her term of office if the director is convicted of an indictable offence, or if the director ceased to be qualified to act as a director of a company  and does not promptly resign, and the directors may appoint a director to fill the resulting vacancy.


POWERS AND DUTIES OF DIRECTORS


Powers of Management

Appointment of Attorney of Company


The directors may from time to time, by power of attorney or other instrument, under seal if so required by law, appoint any person to be the attorney of the Company for such purposes, and with such powers, authorities and discretions (not exceeding those vested in or exercisable by the directors under these Articles and excepting the power to fill vacancies in the board of directors, to remove a director, to change the membership of, or fill vacancies in, any committee of the directors, to appoint or remove officers appointed by the directors and to declare dividends) and for such period, and with such remuneration and subject to such conditions as the directors may think fit.

Interested Director Counted in Quorum


A director who holds a disclosable interest in a contract or transaction into which the Company has entered or proposes to enter and who is present at the meeting of directors at which the contract or transaction is considered for approval may be counted in the quorum at the meeting whether or not the director votes on any or all of the resolutions considered at the meeting.


Disclosure of Conflict of Interest or Property


A director or senior officer who holds any office or possesses any property, right or interest that could result, directly or indirectly, in the creation of a duty or interest that materially conflicts with that individual's duty or interest as a director or senior officer, must disclose the nature and extent of the conflict as required by the Business Corporations Act.

No Disqualification


No director or intended director is disqualified by his or her office from contracting with the Company either with regard to the holding of any office or place of profit the director holds with the Company or as vendor, purchaser or otherwise, and no contract or transaction entered into by or on behalf of the Company in which a director is in any way interested is liable to be voided for that reason.


Professional Services by Director or Officer


Subject to the Business Corporations Act, a director or officer, or any person in which a director or officer has an interest, may act in a professional capacity for the Company, except as auditor of the Company, and the director or officer or such person is entitled to remuneration for professional services as if that director or officer were not a director or officer.

PROCEEDINGS OF DIRECTORS


Meetings of Directors


The directors may meet together for the conduct of business, adjourn and otherwise regulate their meetings as the directors think fit, and meetings of the directors held at regular intervals may be held at the place, at the time and on the notice, if any, as the directors may from time to time determine.


Voting at Meetings


Questions arising at any meeting of directors are to be decided by a majority of votes and, in the case of an equality of votes, the chair of the meeting does not have a second or casting vote.


Chair of Meetings


The following individual is entitled to preside as chair at a meeting of directors:


the chair of the board, if any;


in the absence of the chair of the board, the president, if any, if the president is a director; or


any other director chosen by the directors if:


neither the chair of the board nor the president, if a director, is present at the meeting within 15 minutes after the time set for holding the meeting;

neither the chair of the board nor the president, if a director, is willing to chair the meeting; or


the chair of the board and the president, if a director, have advised the secretary, if any, or any other director, that the chair of the board and the president will not be present at the meeting.


Meetings by Telephone or Other Communications Medium


A director may participate in a meeting of the directors or of any committee of the directors in person or by telephone if all directors participating in the meeting, whether in person or by telephone or other communications medium, are able to communicate with each other. A director may participate in a meeting of the directors or of any committee of the directors by a communications medium other than telephone if all directors participating in the meeting, whether in person or by telephone or other communications medium, are able to communicate with each other and if all directors who wish to participate in the meeting agree to such participation. A director who participates in a meeting in a manner contemplated by this Article 17.4 is deemed for all purposes of the Business Corporations Act and these Articles to be present at the meeting and to have agreed to participate in that manner.


Calling of Meetings


A director may, and the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Company, if any, on the request of a director must, call a meeting of the directors at any time.


Notice of Meetings,


Other than for meetings held at regular intervals as determined by the directors pursuant to Article 17.1, reasonable notice of each meeting of the directors, specifying the place, day and time of that meeting must be given to each of the directors by any method set out in Article 23.1 or orally or by telephone.



31



When Notice Not Required


It is not necessary to give notice of a meeting of the directors to a director if:


the meeting is to be held immediately following a meeting of shareholders at which that director was elected or appointed, or is the meeting of the directors at which that director is appointed; or


the director has waived notice of the meeting.


Meeting Valid Despite Failure to Give Notice


The accidental omission to give notice of any meeting of directors to, or the non-receipt of any notice by, any director does not invalidate any proceedings at that meeting.


Waiver of Notice of Meetings


Any director may send to the Company a document signed by him or her waiving notice of any past, present or future meeting or meetings of the directors and may at any time withdraw that waiver with respect to meetings held after that withdrawal. After sending a waiver with respect to all future meetings and until that waiver is withdrawn, no notice of any meeting of the directors need be given to that director and all meetings of the directors so held are deemed not to be improperly called or constituted by reason of notice not having been given to such director.


Quorum


The quorum necessary for the transaction of the business of the directors may be set by the directors and, if not so set, is deemed to be set at two directors or, if the number of directors is set at one, is deemed to be set at one director, and that director may constitute a meeting.


Validity of Acts Where Appointment Defective


Subject to the Business Corporations Act, an act of a director or officer is not invalid merely because of an irregularity in the election or appointment or a defect in the qualification of that director or officer.


Consent Resolutions in Writing


A resolution of the directors or of any committee of the directors may be passed without a meeting:


(a)

in all cases, if each of the directors entitle to vote on the resolution consents to it in writing; or


(b)

in the case of a resolution to approve a contract or transaction in respect of which a director has disclosed that he or she has or may have a disclosable interest, if each of the other directors who are entitled to vote on the resolution consents to it in writing.


 A consent in writing under this Article 17 may be evidence by signed document, fax, email or any other method of transmitting legibly recorded messages. A consent in writing may be in two or more counterparts which together are deemed to constitute one entire document.   A resolution of the directors or of any committee of the directors passed in accordance with this Article 17.12 is deemed to effective on the date stated in the consent in writing and is deemed to be a proceeding at a meeting of directors or of the committee of the directors and to be valid and effective as if it had been passed at a meeting of the directors or of the committee of the directors that satisfies all the requirements of the Business Corporations Act and all the requirements of these Articles relating to such meetings.
