SCHEDULE “I”
to Article 3 of the Articles of Continuance of
DIAMEDICA INC.
1. | In these Articles of Continuance, unless the context otherwise requires: | |
“Articles” means the articles of continuance of the Corporation, as shall be in force from time to time. | ||
2. | The Voting Common Shares shall have attached thereto the following rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions: | |
(a) |
The holders of the Voting Common Shares shall in each financial year of the Corporation be entitled to receive, if declared by the Directors of the Corporation out of the monies or other property of the Corporation properly applicable to the payment of dividends, non-cumulative dividends in an amount to be determined by and in the discretion of the Directors of the Corporation. If in any year the Directors of the Corporation in their discretion decide to declare a dividend, the same amount of dividend must be declared on each such share, without preference or distinction. If in any year the Directors in their discretion do not declare any dividend, then the rights of the holders of the Voting Common Shares to any dividend for the year shall forever be extinguished. |
(b) |
It shall be in the sole discretion of the Directors of the Corporation whether in any financial year of the Corporation any dividend is declared on the shares of the Corporation, provided that the provisions of paragraphs 2(a) shall always be complied with. For purposes of greater certainty, it is herewith stated that a dividend may be paid in money or property or by issuing fully paid shares of the Corporation. |
(d) |
The holders of Voting Common Shares shall be entitled to one vote for each Voting Common Share held by them at all meetings of Shareholders except meetings at which, pursuant to the Canada Business Corporations Act, only holders of a specified class of shares are entitled to vote. |
3. A holder of fractional shares issued by the Corporation shall be entitled proportionately to all the rights and privileges attaching to a whole share of the same class, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the right to receive the appropriate portion of dividend, to receive the appropriate portion of the redemption amount if such class of shares are otherwise redeemable, and to exercise voting rights in respect of the fractional share if such class of shares is otherwise entitled to vote.
