FIRESWIRL ADOPTS RIGHTS PLAN AND ADVANCE NOTICE POLICY

Effective as of the date hereof, Fireswirl Technologies Inc.'s board of directors has adopted a shareholder rights plan and an advance notice policy.

Shareholder rights plan

The plan has been adopted to ensure, to the extent possible, that all shareholders of the company are treated fairly and equally in connection with any takeover bid or other acquisition of control of the company and that the company's board of directors is provided with adequate time to evaluate such a takeover bid and, if appropriate, seek alternatives to maximize shareholder value.

At the close of business on Sept. 3, 2015, one right will be issued and will attach to each common share of the company outstanding at that time. The rights will automatically attach to the common shares and no further action will be required by shareholders. A right will also attach to each common share of company issued hereafter.

Subject to the terms of the plan and to certain exceptions provided therein, the rights will become exercisable in the events stipulated therein, including if any person, together with joint actors, acquires or announces its intention to acquire 20 per cent or more of the company's outstanding shares without complying with the permitted bid provisions of the plan or where the application of the plan is waived in accordance with its terms. The permitted bid provisions prevent the dilutive effects of the plan from operating if a takeover bid is made to all holders of common shares of the company (other than the bidder) by way of a takeover bid circular that remains open for acceptance for a minimum of 60 days and that satisfies certain other conditions. If a takeover bid does not comply with the requirements of the plan or where the application of the plan is not waived in accordance with its terms, the rightholders (other than the acquiring person and its joint actors) will be entitled to purchase additional common shares of the company at a significant discount to the market price.

The plan is subject to regulatory acceptance and will be submitted for ratification by the shareholders of the company at the first annual general meeting of the company's shareholders held after the effective date of the plan, which meeting is planned to be held within six months of the effective date of the plan. If the plan is not ratified at such meeting, it, together with the outstanding rights, will terminate and cease to be effective. The company may also terminate the plan and all outstanding rights granted thereunder at any time prior to such meeting.

The full text of the shareholder rights plan agreement is available on SEDAR.

Advance notice policy

The purpose of the policy is to provide shareholders, directors and management of the company with a clear framework for nominating directors.

The policy, among other things, fixes a deadline by which director nominations must be submitted to the company prior to any meeting of shareholders and sets forth the information that must be included in the notice to the company in order for a nominee to be eligible for election. No person will be eligible for election as a director of the company unless nominated in accordance with the policy.

In the case of an annual meeting, notice to the company must be given not less than 30 nor more than 65 days prior to the date of such meeting; provided that, if the meeting is to be held on a date that is less than 50 days after the date on which the first public announcement of the date of such meeting was made, notice may be given no later than the close of business on the 10th day following such announcement.

In the case of a special meeting called for the purpose of electing directors that is not also an annual meeting, notice to the company must be made no later than the close of business on the 15th day following the day on which the first public announcement of the date of such special meeting was made.

The policy will be submitted to the shareholders of the company for approval at the first annual general meeting of the company's shareholders held after the effective date of the policy. If the policy is not approved at such meeting, it will terminate and cease to be effective following the termination of such meeting.

The full text of the advance notice policy is available on SEDAR.

We seek Safe Harbor.
