    Notes:
    1 Active Director when Matrikon voluntarily requested issuance of a temporary Management Cease Trade Order on April 16, 2009 that prohibited certain officers from trading in securities of Matrikon for so long as Interim Financial Statements, MD&A and Certifications for Q2 were not filed. The Management Cease Trade Order was lifted April 22, 2009.

    2 "Common Shareholdings” and “Change from 2008” refer to the number of common shares of Matrikon beneficially owned, or over which control or direction is exercised, by the nominee as of November 6, 2009 and as of November 5, 2008.

    3 Mr. Rosenfeld was a director of Hip Interactive Corp in 2005 while a cease trade order was issued because the company did not file its year-end financial information. Mr. Rosenfeld then resigned from the board. An interim receiver was later appointed.
