As our company progresses through its current phase of development with a focus on achieving profitability, our executive compensation strategy has been intentionally straightforward, centered primarily around fixed base salaries. To that extent, during our fiscal year ended February 29, 2024, we did not provide any executive compensation to our named executive officers other than a base salary (column “ (c)” in the table above).

Executive Employment Agreements

Outstanding Equity Awards Held by Named Executive Officers at Fiscal Year End

The following table sets forth information as at February 29, 2024, relating to equity awards that have been granted to the Named Executive Officers. These equity awards are structured to vest over time, ensuring that our executive team remains motivated to drive the Company’s success over the long haul. While these equity awards are primarily focused on retention and long-term alignment rather than immediate performance milestones, we are actively developing additional performance-based incentives which are expected to be speficially designed to directly tie compensation to the achievement of strategic objectives and operational targets, thereby enhancing accountability and driving Company performance. We believe that introducing such performance-linked components will further refine our compensation strategy to support our business goals. We continue to review and adjust our equity compensation plans to ensure they effectively motivate our executives and align with our evolving business strategy and shareholder interest:

All stock option awards were granted to our name executive officers during December 2021 and vest as follows – 1) 20% immediately and 2) 20 % at each grant date anniversary for the subsequent four years.

Retirement Benefits

The Company does not have any defined benefit or defined contribution plans that provide for payments or benefits at, following or in connection with retirement.

Separation Benefits

The Company does not have any agreements that provide for payment(s) to a named executive officer at, following, or in connection with the resignation, retirement or other termination of a name executive officer, or a change in control of the smaller reporting company or a change in the named executive officer’s responsibilities following a change in control, with respect to each named executive officer.

Compensation Policies and Practices and Risk Management

One of the responsibilities of our Compensation Committee and our Board, in its role in setting executive compensation and overseeing our various compensation programs, is to ensure that our compensation programs are structured so as to discourage inappropriate risk-taking. We believe that our existing compensation practices and policies for all employees, including executive officers, mitigate against this risk by, among other things, providing a meaningful portion of total compensation in the form of equity incentives. These equity incentives have historically been in the form of stock grants to promote long-term rather than short-term financial performance and to encourage employees to focus on sustained stock price appreciation. The Compensation Committee is responsible for monitoring our existing compensation practices and policies and investigating applicable enhancements to align our existing practices and policies with avoidance or elimination of risk and the enhancement of long-term stockholder value.

Director Compensation

Each of our directors receives regular cash compensation of $2,000 per month, for serving on the Board.

The following table set forth information relating to the compensation paid to our non-executive directors for Fiscal 2024:

Clawback Policy

On November 17, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the FingerMotion, Inc. Policy for the Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Incentive-Based Compensation (the “Clawback Policy”), with an effective date of November 17, 2023, in order to comply with Section 10D of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), Rule 10D-1 of the Exchange Act (“Rule 10D-1”), and the listing rules adopted by The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (collectively, the “Final Clawback Rules”). The Board has designated the Compensation Committee of the Board as the administrator of the Clawback Policy.

The Clawback Policy provides for the mandatory recovery of erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation from current and former executive officers as defined in Rule 10D-1 (“Covered Officers”) of the Company in the event that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement, in accordance with the Final Clawback Rules. The recovery of such compensation applies regardless of whether a Covered Officer engaged in misconduct or otherwise caused or contributed to the requirement of an accounting restatement. Under the Clawback Policy, the Company may recoup from the Covered Officers erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation received within a lookback period of the three completed fiscal years preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement.

We have filed our Clawback Policy as Exhibit 97.1 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Timing of Stock Awards and Disclosure of Material Nonpublic Information

The Company does not follow a predetermined scheduled for granting stock options. Typically, the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee consider granting stock options after the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and announcement of the financial results for that fiscal year end. The granting of stock options or other awards under the Company’s 2023 Stock Incentive Plan is contingent on the Company’s performance.

The Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee review and approve these awards. They ensure that material nonpublic information (MNPI) is taken into account when determining the timing and terms of the awards and, if MNPI is present, the award will be deferred until such information has been publicly disclosed.

The Company does not time the disclosure of MNPI to influence the value of executive compensation. All maerial information is disclosed promptly in accordance with SEC rules and regulations and the Company’s internal policies.
