Key Details

• Committee approval date: January 21, 2026 (8-K filed January 22, 2026).
• Effective date of increases: January 1, 2026.
• Tim Smith (CEO): base salary increased from C$145,000 to C$160,000.

Why It Matters
This is an executive compensation update that affects the company’s operating expenses (salaries) but does not alter employment terms or create new contractual obligations. For retail investors, the increases are specific and modest in size; they signal a compensation adjustment by the board but, based on the filing, are unlikely to materially change the company’s financial position on their own. This disclosure falls under Item 5.02 (executive changes) of Form 8-K.
