Pursuant to the Arrangement, among other things, the Old MFC Shares were consolidated on a 100 for 1 basis and subsequently split on a 1 for 20 basis (the " Share Consolidation/Split "). Unless otherwise indicated, references herein to numbers of our Common Shares or per Common Share amounts, including for prior periods, have been adjusted, where necessary, to reflect the Share Consolidation/Split (as defined herein) under the Arrangement.

The solicitation of proxies pursuant to this Proxy Statement relates to securities of a Cayman Islands and is being effected in accordance with applicable corporate laws in such jurisdiction. The proxy solicitation rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the " Exchange Act "), as amended and under Canadian securities laws are not applicable to the Company or this solicitation, and, accordingly, this solicitation is not being effected in accordance with such rules. Shareholders should be aware that disclosure requirements under Cayman Islands law may be different from such requirements under U.S. securities laws or Canadian securities laws, as applicable.

VOTING INFORMATION

Solicitation of Proxies

The solicitation of proxies by management of the Company will be conducted by mail and may be supplemented by telephone or other personal contact, and such solicitation will be made without special compensation granted to the directors, officers and employees of the Company. The Company does not reimburse Shareholders, nominees or agents for costs incurred in obtaining, from the principals of such persons, authorization to execute forms of proxy, except that the Company has requested brokers and nominees who hold stock in their respective names to furnish this Circular and related proxy materials to their customers, and the Company will reimburse such brokers and nominees for their related out of pocket expenses. No solicitation will be made by specifically engaged employees or soliciting agents. The cost of solicitation will be borne by the Company.

No person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representation other than as contained in this Circular in connection with the solicitation of proxies. If given or made, such information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by the Company. The delivery of this Circular shall not create, under any circumstances, any implication that there has been no change in the information set forth herein since the date of this Circular. This Circular does not constitute the solicitation of a proxy by anyone in any jurisdiction in which such solicitation is not authorized, or in which the person making such solicitation is not qualified to do so, or to anyone to whom it is unlawful to make such an offer of solicitation.

Record Date

The Board has set the close of business (Hong Kong time) on November 13, 2017 as the record date (the " Record Date ") for determining which Shareholders shall be entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting. Only Shareholders of record as of the Record Date (" Registered Shareholders ") are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting. Persons who acquire Common Shares after the Record Date will not be entitled to vote such Common Shares at the Meeting.

Appointment of Proxyholders

Registered Shareholders are entitled to vote at the Meeting. A Shareholder is entitled to one vote for each Common Share that such Shareholder holds on the Record Date on the resolutions to be voted upon at the Meeting and any other matter to come before the Meeting.

The persons named as proxyholders (the " Designated Persons ") in the enclosed form of proxy are directors and/or officers of the Company.

A Registered Shareholder has the right to appoint a person or corporation (who need not be a Shareholder) to attend and act for or on behalf of that Shareholder at the Meeting, other than the Designated Persons named in the enclosed form of proxy. A Registered Shareholder may exercise this right by striking out the printed names and inserting the name of such other person and, if desired, an alternate to such person in the blank space provided in the form of proxy.

In order to be voted, the completed form of proxy must be received by the Company, by mail or by hand, to the attention of Proxy Services c/o Computershare Investor Services, PO Box 30170, College Station, Texas, USA 77842-3170 , by 9:00 a.m. (Hong Kong time) on December 13, 2017 (or a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or holiday which is at least 48 hours before the Meeting or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) of the Meeting). Shareholders may also provide their voting instructions by telephone by calling toll free 1-800-652-VOTE (8683) or through the Internet at www.envisionreports.com/MFCB . The time limit for the deposit of proxies may be waived by the Board at its discretion without notice.

A proxy may not be valid unless it is dated and signed by the Registered Shareholder who is giving it or by that Shareholder's attorney-in-fact duly authorized by that Shareholder in writing or, in the case of a corporation, dated and executed by a duly authorized officer, or attorney-in-fact, for the corporation. If a form of proxy is executed by an attorney-in-fact for an individual Shareholder or joint Shareholders, or by an officer or attorney-in-fact for a corporate Shareholder, the instrument so empowering the officer or attorney-in-fact, as the case may be, or a notarially certified copy thereof, should accompany the form of proxy.

Revocability of Proxy

Any Registered Shareholder who has returned a form of proxy may revoke it at any time before it has been exercised. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a form of proxy may be revoked by instrument in writing, including a form of proxy bearing a later date, executed by the Registered Shareholder or by his or her attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing or, if the Registered Shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by a duly authorized officer or attorney-in-fact thereof. The instrument revoking the form of proxy must be deposited at the same address where the original form of proxy was delivered at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the date of the Meeting, or any adjournment or adjournments thereof, or with the Chairman of the Meeting on the date of, but prior to the commencement of, the Meeting. A Registered Shareholder who has submitted a form of proxy may also revoke it by attending the Meeting in person (or if the Shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized representative of the corporation attending the Meeting) and registering with the scrutineer thereat as a Registered Shareholder present in person, whereupon such form of proxy shall be deemed to have been revoked.

Only Registered Shareholders have the right to revoke a form of proxy. Non-Registered Holders (as hereinafter defined) who wish to change their vote must, at least seven days before the Meeting, arrange for their respective Intermediaries (as hereinafter defined) to revoke the form of proxy on their behalf.

Voting of Common Shares and Proxies and Exercise of Discretion by Designated Persons

A Shareholder may indicate the manner in which the Designated Persons are to vote with respect to a matter to be voted upon at the Meeting by marking the appropriate space. If the instructions as to voting indicated in the proxy are certain, the Common Shares represented by the form of proxy will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions given in the form of proxy. If the Shareholder specifies a choice in the form of proxy with respect to a matter to be acted upon, then the Common Shares represented will be voted or withheld from the vote on that matter accordingly.

If no choice is specified in the form of proxy with respect to a matter to be acted upon, the form of proxy confers discretionary authority with respect to that matter upon the Designated Persons named in the form of proxy. It is intended that the Designated Persons will vote the Common Shares represented by the form of proxy in favour of each matter identified in the form of proxy, including the vote for the election of nominees to the Board and for the appointment of the independent auditors of the Company.

The enclosed form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting, including any amendments or variations to any matters identified in the Notice of Meeting, and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. At the date of this Circular, management of the Company is not aware of any such amendments, variations, or other matters to come before the Meeting.

In the case of abstentions from, or withholding of, the voting of the Common Shares on any matter, the Common Shares that are the subject of the abstention or withholding will be counted for the determination of a quorum, but will not be counted as affirmative or negative on the matter to be voted upon.

NON-REGISTERED HOLDERS

Only Registered Shareholders or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Most Shareholders are "non-registered" Shareholders because the Common Shares they own are not registered in their names but are instead registered in the name of the brokerage firm, bank or trust company through which they purchased the Common Shares. More particularly, a person is not a Registered Shareholder in respect of Common Shares which are held on behalf of that person (the " Non-Registered Holder ") but which are registered either: (a) in the name of an intermediary that the Non-Registered Holder deals with in respect of the Common Shares (an " Intermediary ") (Intermediaries include, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators or self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans); or (b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. or the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation) of which an Intermediary is a participant. The Company has distributed copies of the Notice of Meeting, this Circular and the form of proxy (collectively, the " Meeting Materials ") to the clearing agencies and Intermediaries for onward distribution to Non-Registered Holders.

Intermediaries are required to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Holders unless a Non-Registered Holder has waived the right to receive them. Very often, Intermediaries will use service companies to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Holders. Generally, Non-Registered Holders who have not waived the right to receive Meeting Materials will either:

(a)

be given a form of proxy which has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile, stamped signature), which is restricted as to the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Holder but which is otherwise not completed. Because the Intermediary has already signed the form of proxy, this form of proxy is not required to be signed by the Non-Registered Holder when submitting the proxy. In this case, the Non-Registered Holder who wishes to submit a proxy should otherwise properly complete the form of proxy and deposit it with the Company as provided above; or

(b)

more typically, be given a voting instruction form which is not signed by the Intermediary, and which, when properly completed and signed by the Non-Registered Holder and returned to the Intermediary or its service company, will constitute voting instructions (often called a " proxy authorization form ") which the Intermediary must follow. Typically, the proxy authorization form will consist of a one page pre-printed form. Sometimes, instead of a one page pre-printed form, the proxy authorization form will consist of a regular printed proxy form accompanied by a page of instructions, which contains a removable label containing a bar-code and other information. In order for the form of proxy to validly constitute a proxy authorization form, the Non-Registered Holder must remove the label from the instructions and affix it to the form of proxy, properly complete and sign the form of proxy and return it to the Intermediary or its service company in accordance with the instructions of the Intermediary or its service company.

In either case, the purpose of this procedure is to permit Non-Registered Holders to direct the voting of the Common Shares which they beneficially own. Should a Non-Registered Holder who receives one of the above forms wish to vote at the Meeting in person, the Non-Registered Holder should strike out the names of the management proxyholders named in the form and insert the Non-Registered Holder's name in the blank space provided. In either case, Non-Registered Holders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary, including those regarding when and where the proxy or proxy authorization form is to be delivered.

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 NI 54-101, issuers can obtain a list of their NOBOs from Intermediaries in order to distribute proxy-related materials directly to NOBOs.

These securityholder materials are being sent to both Registered Shareholders and Non-Registered Holders. If you are a Non-Registered Holder 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 such securities on your behalf.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

As at November 13, 2017, being the Record Date, there were a total of 12,534,801 Common Shares issued and outstanding. Each Common Share entitles the holder thereof to one vote at the Meeting.

STATEMENT OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

General

The following is a summary of annual compensation for services in all capacities to the Company and its subsidiaries for the most recently completed financial year in respect of the individuals comprised of any persons who acted as either the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer of the Company for any part of such year, and each of the other three most highly compensated executive officers of the Company whose total compensation for the most recently completed financial year exceeded $150,000, and any individual who would have satisfied these criteria but for the fact that the individual was not serving as an executive officer, nor acting in a similar capacity, at the end of the most recently completed financial year (the " NEOs ").

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

In determining executive compensation, the Compensation Committee aims to encourage and reward performance in order to maintain the position of the Company in a highly competitive environment. The Compensation Committee endeavours to ensure that the Company's compensation policies:

attract and retain highly qualified and experienced executives and managers as well as align the compensation level of each executive to that executive's level of responsibility;

recognize and reward contributions to the success of the Company as measured by the accomplishment of specific performance objectives; and

ensure that a significant proportion of compensation is at risk and directly linked to the success of the Company.

The Compensation Committee believes that compensation packages for the Company's executives must be designed to attract and retain executives critical to the success of the Company, ensure that executive compensation is linked to both individual and corporate performance and focus executives on business factors that impact shareholder value. The Compensation Committee also considers the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer for executives other than the Chief Financial Officer, and relies on Board discussions in its analysis and recommendations. Compensation for NEOs generally consists of: (i) base salary; (ii) annual incentive bonus; (iii) long term equity incentives granted on a discretionary basis under the Company's 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the " Incentive Plan "); and (iv) customary perquisites and other executive benefits.

Old MFC did not award any annual incentive bonuses to NEOs in respect of fiscal 2016 and it did not grant any long-term equity incentives in 2016 or 2017. The Company has not awarded any long-term equity incentives to date in 2017, other than 40,000 options issued in connection with the Arrangement in July 2017 to replace outstanding options of Old MFC.

Base Salary

Base salary reflects annual compensation received by an executive for the position he or she holds and the role he or she performs within the Company. The objective of the base salary, consistent with market practice, is to provide a portion of compensation as a fixed cash amount. Base salaries are intended to attract and retain talented executives and to reflect the skill and level of responsibility of an executive, taking into account market conditions and salaries paid by the Company's competitors. Base salaries are targeted at median market values and balanced with relative roles and responsibilities within the Company. The relative base salary of executive officers reflects their experience, the accountability of their respective roles and the incumbent's performance in such roles. Base salaries are benchmarked internally against similar roles and are then adjusted depending on a NEO's past performance, experience, individual qualifications, promotion or other change in responsibilities and expected future contributions to the Company.

Annual Incentive Bonuses

The Company's annual incentive bonuses are designed to reinforce the Company's business strategy, as approved by the Board. The objective of awarding annual performance incentives is to provide a component of compensation that rewards near term performance results of the Company as a whole. Such incentives focus attention on the achievement of short term profitability with lesser emphasis on revenues. The annual incentive bonuses provide executives with the opportunity to earn cash incentives based on the achievement of individual performance objectives. Awards vary as a percentage of base salary and incentive targets for all levels are reviewed periodically to ensure ongoing market competitiveness. Performance objectives are based on the Company's business plan for the fiscal year, as approved by the Board, and are intended to be challenging but achievable.

Annual incentive bonuses are an important component of the total compensation that may be received by an NEO, primarily because they provide the NEO with the potential to receive an annual financial reward based on the achievement of specific goals. Annual incentive bonuses are designed to achieve three important objectives:

to motivate and reward eligible executives who contribute to successfully achieving Company goals;

to provide executives with a competitive total compensation package; and

to attract and retain talented executives.

Long-Term Equity Incentives

Long-term equity incentives are awarded pursuant to the Incentive Plan. The purpose of the Incentive Plan is to promote the long-term success of the Company and the creation of shareholder value by encouraging the attraction and retention of employees and non-employee directors with exceptional qualifications, encouraging them to focus on the critical long-range objectives of the Company and linking their interests directly to shareholder interests through increased share ownership. The Incentive Plan is intended to achieve this purpose by providing for awards to participants in the form of restricted shares, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance share units, options and/or stock appreciation rights. The Company believes it is important to have flexibility to grant various types of equity awards to its employees so that it can react appropriately to the changing environment.

Long-term equity incentives aim to align pay for performance, as any declines in share price have a negative impact on executive pay, while increases have a positive impact. Such incentives also aim to mitigate against achieving short-term benefits at the expense of long-term sustainability and shareholder value.

No long-term equity incentives were awarded by Old MFC in 2016 or, to date by the Company in 2017, other than 40,000 options issued in connection with the Arrangement in July 2017 to replace outstanding options of Old MFC.

Perquisites and Other Executive Benefits

Perquisites and other executive benefits are structured to be within a reasonably competitive range relating to comparable companies. Perquisites and other executive benefits generally include: (i) medical and health benefits, including periodic physical consultations, dental and pharmaceutical benefits; (ii) automobile benefits, including the lease of a vehicle along with maintenance costs thereon; and/or (iii) housing benefits. The value of perquisites and other executive benefits received by each NEO is included in the "All Other Compensation" column of the Summary Compensation Table below.

Risk Management

The Company has taken steps to ensure its executive compensation program does not incent risk outside the Company's risk appetite. Some of the risk management initiatives currently employed by the Company are as follows:

appointing a Compensation Committee comprised entirely of independent directors to oversee the executive compensation program; and

use of discretion in adjusting bonus payments (if any) up or down as the Compensation Committee deems appropriate and recommends.

The Board and the Compensation Committee have discussed and assessed risk related to the Company's compensation policies and practices and are of the view that, when looked at in their totality, the Company's compensation policies and practices do not incentivize risk taking outside the Company's risk appetite. The Company does not have any formal policy respecting the purchase by an NEO or a director of financial instruments.

Compensation Governance

The Company has a Compensation Committee, comprised entirely of independent directors, being Silke S. Stenger, Indrajit Chatterjee, Jochen Dümler and Dr. Shuming Zhao. The Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things, developing the Company's approach to executive compensation and periodically reviewing the compensation of the directors. The Compensation Committee reviews and approves annual salaries, bonuses and other forms and items of compensation for the Company's senior officers and employees. Except for plans that are, in accordance with their terms or as required by law, administered by the Board or another particularly designated group, the Compensation Committee also administers and implements the Incentive Plan and all other stock-based and equity-based benefit plans (including performance-based plans) of the Company, recommends changes or additions to those plans and reports to the Board on compensation matters. The Board adopted the charter for the Compensation Committee on July 12, 2017, a copy of which is available online at MFC's website at www.mfcbancorpltd.com. The responsibilities, powers and operation of the Compensation Committee are detailed in the Compensation Committee's charter.

The members of the Compensation Committee have direct experience relevant to executive compensation from their broad business experience and are well-versed in executive compensation matters. The members similarly bring a wide range of skills and experience that helps them make decisions in respect of the Company's compensation policies and practices and assess performance on both an individual and an organizational level. These skills and experiences include, but are not limited to: industry knowledge; operational experience; financial knowledge; and international business experience.

Performance Graph

The following chart compares the cumulative total return assuming a US$100 investment in the Old MFC Shares with the cumulative total return of the Russell 2000 Index over the five most recently completed financial years, assuming that the US$100 investment was made on January 1, 2012 and assuming the reinvestment of dividends.

The performance of the Old MFC Shares as set out in the graph above does not necessarily indicate future price performance. Executive compensation has generally followed the trend in shareholder returns. As described above, the Compensation Committee considers various factors in determining the compensation of the NEOs. The Compensation Committee does not consider the price of the Old MFC Shares to be a strong indicator of performance.

Option- and Share-Based Awards

Pursuant to the terms of the Incentive Plan, the Board currently administers and implements the Incentive Plan and recommends changes or additions thereto. The Compensation Committee assists the Board in these respects. The Board determines all option- and share-based awards to be granted pursuant to the Incentive Plan and any special terms, including any exercise price or vesting provisions applicable thereto. When determining whether to grant new option- or share-based awards to executive officers, the Board takes into account previous grants of such awards.

For a summary of the material provisions of the Incentive Plan, please refer to the section of this Circular entitled "Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans".

The above figures are as of December 31, 2016, prior to the completion of the Arrangement, and do not reflect adjustments made for the Share Consolidation/Split. The 2014 Equity Incentive Plan of Old MFC, the 2008 Equity Incentive Plan and the 1997 Stock Option Plan were cancelled upon the completion of the Arrangement and were replaced by the Incentive Plan.

Incentive Plan

The Incentive Plan was adopted by the Company on July 14, 2017 in connection with the Arrangement and was on substantially similar terms as the 2014 Equity Incentive Plan of Old MFC. The Incentive Plan permits the grant of options, restricted stock rights, restricted stock, performance shares, performance share units and stock appreciation rights.

Subject to adjustment for changes in capitalization, the total number of Common Shares subject to all awards under the Incentive Plan is 575,403 Common Shares.

The maximum number of Common Shares which may be issued as incentive stock options (being stock options intended to meet the requirements of an "incentive stock option" under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code) under the Incentive Plan is limited to 400,000. Further, the maximum number of Common Shares that may be granted to any one participant in the Incentive Plan, who is a Covered Employee (as defined in the Incentive Plan) during the fiscal year where such participant's employment commences, shall be 80,000 and 70,000 for all other fiscal years.

In addition, the aggregate fair value of Awards (as defined in the Incentive Plan) granted to any one non-employee director cannot exceed $100,000 in any one year, and the aggregate number of securities issuable to all non-employee directors cannot exceed 1% of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Shares.

There are 40,000 Common Shares issuable pursuant to existing awards under the Incentive Plan as of the date hereof.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The following is a summary of selected governance matters relating to the Company. Copies of the Company's Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee charters are available online at MFC's website at www.mfcbancorpltd.com.

Board of Directors

(a)

Indrajit Chatterjee, Dr. Shuming Zhao, Silke S. Stenger, Friedrich Hondl and Jochen Dümler are independent directors of the Company.

(b)

Michael J. Smith is an executive officer of the Company and Gerardo Cortina was an executive officer of Old MFC until March 2017 and are therefore not independent directors.

(c)

A majority of the Company's directors are independent.

(d)

The following director is also a director of another reporting issuer (or the equivalent in a foreign jurisdiction), as identified next to his name:

Director	Reporting Issuers or Equivalent in a Foreign Jurisdiction
Dr. Shuming Zhao	Daqo New Energy Corp.

(e)

The independent directors of the Company hold regularly-scheduled meetings at which non-independent directors and members of management are not in attendance. During fiscal 2016 (Old MFC's most recently completed financial year), the independent directors held 4 meetings at which non-independent directors and members of management were not in attendance. In addition, the Board holds frequent meetings and has open communication in order to facilitate open and candid discussion among its independent directors.

(f)

The Board is satisfied that the autonomy of the Board and its ability to function independently of management are protected through measures such as the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee being composed of all independent directors and each committee being chaired by an independent director. In addition, in order to provide leadership for its independent directors, the Board encourages its independent members to discuss matters separate from the non-independent Board members and to seek the advice of financial, legal or other consultants when necessary.

SCHEDULE "A"

AUDIT COMMITTEE DISCLOSURE

THE AUDIT COMMITTEE'S CHARTER (THE "CHARTER")

PURPOSE; LIMITATIONS ON DUTIES.

The purpose of the Audit Committee (the " Audit Committee " or the " Committee ") of the Board of Directors (the " Board ") of MFC Bancorp Ltd. (the " Company ") is to (a) assist the Board in monitoring: (i) the integrity of the financial statements of the Company; (ii) the compliance by the Company with legal and regulatory requirements regarding financial disclosure; (iii) the independent auditor's qualifications and independence; and (iv) the performance of the Company's internal audit function and independent auditor; and (b) prepare the annual report of the Committee required by applicable U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the " SEC ") and applicable Canadian securities commissions (" CSC ") disclosure rules.

While the Committee has the responsibilities and powers set forth in this charter (the " Charter "), it is not the duty of the Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Company's financial statements and disclosures are complete and accurate and are in accordance with the English language version of International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (" IFRS ") and applicable rules and regulations. These are the responsibilities of management and the independent auditor and nothing herein is to be construed as changing such responsibilities. Because the primary function of the Committee is oversight, absent knowledge to the contrary (the details of which shall be promptly reported to the Board), the Committee shall be entitled to rely on the expertise, skills and knowledge of management, the internal auditing department (if any) and the Company's independent auditors and the integrity and accuracy of information provided to the Committee by such persons.

COMPOSITION; FINANCIAL EXPERT.

The Committee shall consist of at least three (3) directors of the Board. All members of the Committee must be directors who meet the knowledge and independence requirements of applicable law and the rules of the SEC, including the applicable independence requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the " Sarbanes-Oxley Act ") and the applicable CSC and the New York Stock Exchange (the " NYSE ") in effect from time to time (subject to any exceptions allowed by such rules and any waivers granted by such authorities).

To the extent practicable, at least one member of the Committee shall qualify as an "audit committee financial expert," as defined in the SEC's rules and regulations in effect from time to time. The Company will disclose in the annual report required by Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the " 1934 Act ") (which may incorporate proxy circular disclosure by reference, to the extent permitted by SEC rules) whether or not it has at least one member who is an audit committee financial expert. In any event (as required by the NYSE Listed Company Manual ), the Committee must include at least one (1) member who the Board determines has accounting or related financial management expertise (which the Board may presume with respect to a person who qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert"). CSC and NYSE rules on the conduct of the Committee require that each member of the Committee be financially literate (as such qualification is interpreted by the Board in its business judgment), which generally means the ability to read and understand a set of financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of the issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Company's financial statements, or must become financially literate within a reasonable period of time after his or her appointment to the audit committee.

A member of the Committee may not serve on the audit committees of more than two (2) other public companies unless the Board determines that such simultaneous service would not impair the ability of such member to effectively serve on the Committee and such determination is disclosed either on or through the Company's website or in its annual proxy circular. If this disclosure is made on or through the Company's website, the Company must disclose that fact in its annual proxy circular and provide its website address.

A- 1

The members of the Committee shall be appointed by and serve at the discretion of the Board and shall serve until their successors are appointed. Committee members will be elected annually for a term of one (1) year. Vacancies will be filled by a majority vote of the Board, subject to such new committee members(s) satisfying the applicable independence requirements established by laws and regulations in the Cayman Islands, Canada and the United States. Except as expressly provided in this Charter or the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company, the Committee shall fix its own rules of procedure. The Board may remove a member of the Committee at any time in its sole discretion by ordinary resolution of the Board.

CHAIRMAN

The Board, or in the event of its failure to do so, the majority of the members of the Committee, must appoint a chairman from the directors of the Committee (the " Chairman "). If the Chairman is not present at any meeting of the Committee, an acting Chairman for the meeting shall be chosen by majority vote of the Committee from among the members present. In the case of a deadlock on any matter or vote, the Chairman shall refer the matter to the Board. The Committee may appoint a secretary who need not be a director of the Board or Committee.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy

Statement of Principles

In accordance with the requirements of the SEC rules and securities regulations, including the independence requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and National Instrument 52-110 of the Canadian Securities Administrators, and to safeguard the continued independence of its independent auditor, all audit and non-audit services to be rendered by the Company's independent auditor and any related entities to the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") must be the subject of pre-approval by the Audit Committee of the Board in order to assure that they do not impair the auditor's independence from the Company. Furthermore, the Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditor.

As set forth in this Policy, unless a type of service has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee if it is to be provided by the independent auditor. Any proposed services exceeding pre-approved cost levels or budgeted amounts will also require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.

The appendices to this Policy describe the Audit, Audit-related, Tax and All Other services that have the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The term of any general pre-approval is twelve (12) months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Audit Committee considers a different period and states otherwise. The Audit Committee will annually review and pre-approve the services that may be provided by the independent auditor without obtaining specific pre-approval from the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will revise the list of general pre-approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations.

The purpose of this Policy is to set forth the procedures by which the Audit Committee intends to fulfill its responsibilities. It does not delegate the Audit Committee's responsibilities to pre-approved services performed by the independent auditor to management.

The independent auditor has reviewed this Policy and believes that implementation of the policy will not adversely affect the auditor's independence.

II.

Delegation

The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member to whom such authority is delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.

III.

Audit Services

The annual Audit services engagement terms and fees will be subject to the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will approve, if necessary, any changes in terms, conditions and fees resulting from changes in audit scope, Company structure or other items.

In addition to the annual Audit services engagement approved by the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee may grant general pre-approval of other Audit services, which are those services that only the independent auditor reasonably can provide. The Audit Committee has pre-approved the Audit services in Exhibit B. The general pre-approval of the range of services set forth on Exhibit B will be brought to the Audit Committee on an annual basis for review any modification thought appropriate and approval. In connection with such review, the Audit Committee will be provided a written description of the nature and scope, including the fee structure and terms of any oral or written side agreement(s), for all tax services to be considered for general pre-approval

A- 8

under Exhibit B. The potential effects of these tax services on the independence of the auditor will be discussed with them.

In the case of proposed engagements of the auditor involving any of the services covered under the range of pre-approved services under Exhibit B where the fees for a particular engagement are expected to exceed a total of $200,000, specific pre-approval must be obtained under the provisions of Section VI below.

All other Audit services not listed in Exhibit B must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee under the provisions of Section VII below.

IV.

Audit-related Services

Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the Company's financial statements or that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor. The Audit Committee believes that the provision of Audit-related services does not impair the independence of the auditor, and has pre-approved Audit-related services in Exhibit B. All other Audit-related services not listed in Exhibit B must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

Tax Services

The Audit Committee believes that the independent auditor can provide Tax services to the Company such as tax compliance, tax planning and tax advice without impairing the auditor's independence. However, the Audit Committee will not permit the retention of the independent auditor in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the independent auditor, the purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations. The Audit Committee has pre-approved the Tax services in Exhibit B. All Tax services involving large and complex transactions not listed in Exhibit B must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

VI.

All Other Services

All other permissible services not listed in Exhibit B must be specifically pre-approved by the Audit Committee. Where particular pre-approval is required, the Audit Committee has delegated the authority to effect such pre-approval to the Chairman of the Audit Committee.

Under no circumstances may the Audit Committee delegate its responsibilities to the Company's management.

For greater certainty, if an engagement with the independent auditor for a particular service is contemplated that is neither prohibited nor covered under the range of services under Exhibit B, in order for such an engagement to proceed it must be the subject of individual pre-approval under Section VII.

It is the responsibility of the Company's management to determine whether a particular service is covered by the pre-approved range of services set forth on Exhibit B. Management should seek the guidance of the Chairman of the Audit Committee where there is any ambiguity about whether a particular service is pre-approved.

A list of the SEC's prohibited non-audit services is included in Exhibit B. The SEC's rules and relevant guidance should be consulted to determine the precise definitions of these services and the applicability of exceptions to certain of the prohibitions.

VII.

Procedures

Requests or applications to provide services that require specific approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Audit Committee by both the independent auditor and the Chief Financial Officer. If the individual service is a tax service, a written description of the nature and scope, including fee structure and terms of any oral or written side agreement, is to be provided. The potential effect of the tax service on the independence of the auditor is to be discussed with the auditor.

A- 9

All requests or applications for services to be provided by the independent auditor that do not require specific approval by the Audit Committee will be submitted to the Chief Financial Officer and must include a detailed description of the services to be rendered. The Chief Financial Officer will determine whether such services are included within the list of services that have received the general pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee will be informed on a timely basis of any such services rendered by the independent auditor.

VIII.

Engagement Letters

Pre-approved non-audit services will be provided by the auditor pursuant to an engagement letter with the appropriate entity of the Company that satisfies each of the following requirements:

(a)

the engagement letter will be in writing and signed by the auditor; and

(b)

the engagement letter will set out the particular non-audit services to be provided by the auditor which, unless individually pre-approved, will be within the categories of pre-approved non-audit services described in Exhibit B.

IX.

Reports of Services to the Audit Committee

At every regularly scheduled meeting of the Audit Committee, the Company's management will report on all new pre-approved engagements of the auditor since the last such report. The auditor may comment on the report if it wishes to do so. All engagement letters entered into going forward will be made available to the Audit Committee on request.

In connection therewith, the Company provides that:

the resignation of the Former Auditors and the appointment of the Successor Auditors have been considered and approved by the Company's audit committee and board of directors;

the Former Auditors' reports on any of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 or 2015 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles;

during the Company's fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 and through the subsequent interim period on or prior to the resignation of the Former Auditors: (a) there were no disagreements between the Company and the Former Auditors on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the satisfaction of the former accountant, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report; and (b) no reportable events as set forth in Item 16F(a)(1)(v)(A) through (D) of Form 20-F have occurred.

The Company provided the Former Auditors with a copy of this Form 6-K and requested that the Former Auditors provide the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of the Former Auditors' letter is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 6-K.

During the Company’s most recent two fiscal years and through the subsequent interim period on or prior to the appointment of the Successor Auditors, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with the Successor Auditors on either (a) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, or (b) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(iv) of Form 20-F (and the related instructions thereto) or a reportable event as set forth in Item 16F(a)(1)(v)(A) through (D) of Form 20-F.
