We do not anticipate issuing further shares as of September 30, 2020prior to February 15, 2022 (the record date) and, therefore, 79,372,64396,523,547 shares will be eligible to vote at the meeting.

How many shares must be present to hold the meeting?

In accordance with our bylaws, shares equal to a majority of the voting power of our outstanding shares of the Company's common stockCommon Stock as of the record date must be present at the meeting in order to hold the meeting and conduct business. This is called a quorum. Your shares are counted as present at the meeting if:

you are present and vote at the meeting; or

How do I vote my shares?

If you are a shareholder of record as of the record date, you can give a proxy to be voted at the meeting in any of the following ways:

electronically, using the internet; or

by completing, signing and mailing the enclosed proxy card.

If you wish to submit your proxy by mail, please return your signed proxy card to us before the annualspecial meeting.

Your broker or other nominee has enclosed or otherwise provided a voting instruction card for you to use in directing the broker or nominee how to vote your shares, and telephone and internet voting is also encouraged for shareholders who hold their shares in street name.

What is a proxy?

It is your designation of another person to vote stock you own. That other person is called a proxy. If you designate someone as your proxy in a written document, that document also is called a proxy or a proxy card. When you designate a proxy, you also may direct the proxy how to vote your shares.

If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank, trust or other nominee, then the broker, bank, trust or other nominee is considered to be the shareholder of record with respect to those shares. However, you still are considered the beneficial owner of those shares, and your shares are said to be held in "street name." Street name holders generally cannot vote their shares directly and must instead instruct the broker, bank, trust or other nominee how to vote their shares using the voting instruction card provided by it.

What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?

If you receive more than one proxy card, it means that you hold shares registered in more than one account. To ensure that all of your shares are voted, sign and return each proxy card you receive.

New rules now allow companies to choose to mail their shareholders a notice that their proxy materials can be accessed over the internet, instead of sending a paper copy of the proxy statement and annual report. Shareholders of companies who choose this delivery method can always request delivery of a paper copy of the proxy materials. We have decided not to adopt this new delivery method for this year's annual meeting materials. We are considering carefully how to realize the cost savings opportunity and environmental benefits of avoiding the printing and mailing of these documents to shareholders who do not request paper copies, while still maintaining a meaningful and convenient proxy process for our shareholders.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCEPROPOSAL 1

REVERSE STOCK SPLIT PROPOSAL

On February 4, 201915, 2022, the Board unanimously approved, subject to stockholder approval, an amendment to the Charter to effect a reverse stock split of our outstanding Common Stock by combining outstanding shares of Common Stock into a lesser number of outstanding shares of Common Stock by a ratio in the range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-5 at any time prior to February 15, 2023, with the exact ratio to be set within this range by the Board at its sole discretion (the "Reverse Stock Split"). The Board may alternatively elect to abandon the proposed amendment and not effect the Reverse Stock Split authorized by stockholders, in its sole discretion. Upon the effectiveness of the amendment to the Charter effecting the Reverse Stock Split, the outstanding shares of the Common Stock will be reclassified and combined into a lesser number of shares such that one share of Common Stock will be issued for a specified number of shares in accordance with the ratio for the Reverse Stock Split selected by the Board.

If this Proposal approved by our stockholders as proposed, the Board would have the sole discretion to effect the amendment and Reverse Stock Split at any time prior to February 15, 2023, and to fix the specific ratio for the Reverse Stock Split, provided that the ratio would be in the range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-5. We believe that enabling the Board to fix the specific ratio of the Reverse Stock Split within the stated range will provide us with the flexibility to implement the split in a manner designed to maximize the anticipated benefits for our stockholders.

The Reverse Stock Split, if approved by our stockholders, would become effective upon the filing of an amendment to the Charter with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The exact timing of the amendment will be determined by the Board on its evaluation as to when such action will be the most advantageous to us and our stockholders, but the amendment will not occur after February 15, 2023. In addition, the Board reserves the right, notwithstanding stockholder approval and without further action by our stockholders, to abandon the proposed amendment and the Reverse Stock Split if, at any time prior to the effectiveness of the filing of a certificate of amendment with the Secretary of State, the Board, in its sole discretion, determines that it is no longer in our best interest and the best interests of our stockholders to proceed.

The proposed form of the amendment to the Charter to effect the Reverse Stock Split is attached as Appendix A to this proxy statement (subject to any changes required by applicable law). Any amendment to Charter to effect the Reverse Stock Split will include the Reverse Stock Split ratio fixed by our Board of Directors, within the range approved by our stockholders.

Purpose of the Reverse Stock Split

The Board believes that a Reverse Stock Split is desirable for a number of reasons, including:

Potential Listing of Common Stock on Nasdaq. On January 13, 2022, the Company filed oura Registration Statement on Form 8-A12G registering our classS-1 for an underwritten public offering of its Common Stock. In connection with the proposed public offering, the Company applied to list its Common Stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq") under the proposed symbol "SNRG." One of the quantitative standards needed to qualify for initial listing on Nasdaq is that the Common Stock must have a minimum closing price of $4.00 per share. On February 15, 2022, the closing price of the Common Stock was $0.20 per share. The Board believes that listing the Common Stock on Nasdaq is in the best interests of its stockholders for a number of reasons, including that it may enable a more active and orderly trading market to develop, thereby enabling stockholders to more easily buy and sell shares of Common Stock. However, even after effectuating the Reverse Stock Split, there can be no assurance that we will meet the requirements for initial listing on Nasdaq or any other national securities exchange.

Improve the marketability and liquidity of the Common Stock. The second reason to pursue the Reverse Stock Split is because the Company believes that the increased market price of its Common Stock expected as a result of implementing the Reverse Stock Split may improve the marketability and liquidity of its Common Stock and may encourage interest and trading in its Common Stock. A reverse stock split could allow a broader range of institutions to invest in its Common Stock (namely, funds that are prohibited from buying stocks whose price is below a certain threshold), potentially increasing the liquidity of its Common Stock. The Reverse Stock Split could help increase analyst and broker interest in its Common Stock as their policies can discourage them from following or recommending companies with low stock prices. Because of the trading volatility often associated with low-priced stocks, many brokerage firms and institutional investors have internal policies and practices that either prohibit them from investing in low-priced stocks or tend to discourage individual brokers from recommending low-priced stocks to their customers. Some of those policies and practices may function to make the processing of trades in low-priced stocks economically unattractive to brokers. Additionally, because brokers' commissions on low-priced stocks generally represent a higher percentage of the stock price than commissions on higher-priced stocks, the current average price per share of the Company's Common Stock can result in individual stockholders paying transaction costs representing a higher percentage of their total share value than would be the case if the share price were substantially higher. However, the liquidity of the Common Stock may in fact be adversely affected by the proposed Reverse Stock Split given the reduced number of shares that would be outstanding after the Reverse Stock Split.

-11-


Risks of the Reverse Stock Split

The Reverse Stock Split may not increase the Company's market capitalization, which would prevent the Company from realizing some of the anticipated benefits of the Reverse Stock Split, including a potential listing on Nasdaq. The immediate effect of the Reverse Stock Split would be to reduce the number of shares of outstanding Common Stock and to potentially increase the trading price of the Common Stock. However, the effect of any effected Reverse Stock Split upon the market price of the Common Stock cannot be predicted, and the history of reverse stock splits for companies in similar circumstances sometimes improves stock performance, but in many cases does not. There can be no assurance that the trading price of the Common Stock after the reverse stock split will rise in proportion to the reduction in the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding as a result of the Reverse Stock Split or remain at an increased level for any period. Also, there is no assurance that the stock price would not decline below the anticipated stock price following the Reverse Stock Split or that the trading price would remain above the thresholds required to meet initial listing requirements of Nasdaq or if initially met, whether the market price of the Common Stock would maintain levels required for continued listing. The trading price of the Common Stock may change due to a variety of other factors, including's operating results, other factors related to the Company's business and general market conditions. In addition, the fewer number of shares that will be available to trade will possibly cause the trading market of the Common Stock to become less liquid, which could have an adverse effect on the price of the Common Stock.

Effects of the Reverse Stock Split

Reduction of Shares Held by Individual Stockholders. After the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split (the "Effective Date") each stockholder will own fewer shares of the Common Stock. However, the Reverse Stock Split will affect all of the stockholders uniformly and will not affect any stockholder's percentage ownership interests in the Company, except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split results in any of its stockholders owning a fractional share as described below. Any fractional share shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

Authorized Shares of Common Stock.The Reverse Stock Split, if implemented, would not change the number of authorized shares of the Common Stock as designated by the Charter. Therefore, because the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock would decrease, the number of shares remaining available for issuance under the authorized shares of Common Stock would increase.

The additional shares of Common Stock that would become available for issuance if the Reverse Stock Split is implemented could also be used by the Company's management to oppose a hostile takeover attempt or delay or prevent changes of control or changes in or removal of management, including transactions that are favored by a majority of the stockholders or in which the stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then-current market prices or benefit in some other manner. Although the proposed Reverse Stock Split has been prompted by business and financial considerations, stockholders nevertheless should be aware that this action could facilitate future efforts by management to deter or prevent a change in control.

Additionally, the Reverse Stock Split is not being conducted in an effort to take the Company private.

Other than the public offering, currently anticipated to raise up to $13.8 million through the sale of additional shares of Common Stock and therefore our directors, executive officers, and any persons holding more than ten percent of our Common Stock are required to comply with Section 16purchase warrants, the Company has no specific plans for the issuance of the Exchange Act.Common Stock, which would become newly available as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Any future issuance will have the effect of diluting the percentage of stock ownership and voting rights of the present holders of Common Stock.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to provide a corporate governance framework for our directors and management to effectively pursue SusGlobal Energy Corp.'s objectives for the benefit of our shareholders.

Director Independence

Our Board of Directors has determined that four of our directors have no material relationship with SusGlobal Energy Corp. and are independent. Mr. Hazout is not independent because he is the Executive Chairman, President and Chief executive Officer of SusGlobal Energy Corp.

Our Board has adopted certain standards to assist it in assessing the independence of each of our directors. Absent other material relationships with SusGlobal Energy Corp., a director of SusGlobal Energy Corp. who otherwise meets the independence qualifications of the NASDAQ listing standards may be deemed "independent" by the Board of Directors after consideration of all of the relationships between SusGlobal Energy Corp., or any of our subsidiaries, and the director, or any of his or her immediate family members (as defined in the NASDAQ listing standards), or any entity with which the director or any of his or her immediate family members is affiliated by reason of being a partner, officer or a significant shareholder thereof.

In assessing the independence of our directors, our full Board carefully considered all of the business relationships between SusGlobal Energy Corp. and our directors or their affiliated companies. This review was based primarily on responses of the directors to questions regarding employment, business, familial, compensation and other relationships with SusGlobal Energy Corp. and our management.

Director Qualifications and Selection Process

Director Qualification Standards. SusGlobal Energy Corp. will only consider as candidates for director individuals who possess the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values, and who are committed to representing the long-term interests of our shareholders. In evaluating candidates for nomination as a director of SusGlobal Energy Corp., the Governance Committee will also consider other criteria, including current or recent experience as a chief executive officer of a public company or as a leader of another major complex organization; business and financial expertise; geography; experience as a director of a public company; gender and ethnic diversity on the Board; independence; and general criteria such as ethical standards, independent thought, practical wisdom and mature judgment. In addition, directors must be willing to devote sufficient time to carrying out their duties and responsibilities effectively, and should be committed to serving on the Board for an extended period of time. One or more of our directors must possess the education or experience required to qualify as an audit committee financial expert.

Director Nominee Selection Process. The selection process for director candidates includes the following steps: (1) identification of director candidates by the Governance Committee based upon suggestions from current directors and executives and recommendations received from shareholders; (2) possible engagement of a director search firm to provide names and biographies of director candidates for the Governance Committee's consideration; (3) interviews of candidates by the Governance Committee members; (4) reports to the Board by the Governance Committee on the selection process; (5) recommendations by the Governance Committee; and (6) formal nomination by the Board for inclusion in the slate of directors at the annual meeting. Director candidates recommended by shareholders are given the same consideration as candidates suggested by directors and executive officers. A shareholder seeking to recommend a prospective candidate for the Governance Committee's consideration should submit the candidate's name and sufficient written information about the candidate to permit a determination by the Governance Committee whether the candidate meets the director selection criteria set forth in our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter to the Corporate Secretary of SusGlobal Energy Corp. at the address listed in the Shareholder Q&A section of this proxy statement. 


Majority Vote Standard for Election of Directors

Our Bylaws provide that in uncontested elections a nominee for director will be elected to the Board if the number of votes cast "FOR" the nominee's election exceeds the number of votes cast "AGAINST" that nominee's election. The vote standard for directors in a contested election is a plurality of the votes cast at the meeting.

Executive Sessions of the Board

Our non-employee directors meet in executive session at each regular meeting of the Board without the chief executive officer or any other member of management present, and the independent directors meet alone on an annual basis.

Director Policies

Policy Regarding Service on Other Boards.

Board or could represent a conflict of interest.

Policy Regarding Attendance at Annual Meetings. We encourage, but do not require, our Board members to attend the annual meeting of shareholders.

Family Relationships

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

SusGlobal Energy Corp.'s compensation philosophy is to structure compensation awards to members of our executive management that directly align their personal interests with those of our shareholders. Our executive compensation program is intended to attract, motivate, reward and retain the management talent required to achieve our corporate objectives and increase shareholder value, while at the same time making the most efficient use of shareholder resources. This compensation philosophy puts a strong emphasis on pay for performance, and uses equity awards as a significant component in order to correlate the long-term growth of shareholder value with management's most significant compensation opportunities.

The three primary components of total direct compensation for our senior executives are:

base salary;

annual cash incentive bonus opportunity; and

restricted stock units

The relative weighting of the three components of compensation is designed to strongly reward long-term performance, by heavily emphasizing the proportion of long-term equity compensation.

Summary Compensation Table

The following table shows the cash and non-cash compensation for each of the last two fiscal years awarded to or earned by individuals who served as our Executive Chairman, Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer during fiscal year ended December 31, 2019:

Indebtedness of Management

PROPOSAL 2

RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF AUDITOR

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is directly responsible for the appointment, retention, compensation and oversight of the work of our independent certified public accounting firm. In making its determination regarding whether to appoint or retain a particular independent certified public accounting firm, the Audit Committee takes into account the views of management.

The Audit Committee has appointed MNP, LLP ("MNP"), an independent member of Praxity, as our independent certified public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020. MNP acted in such capacity since its appointment in July 2020. The Audit Committee has considered whether MNP's provision of services other than audit services are compatible with maintaining independence as our independent certified public accounting firm and determined that such services are compatible. MNP has no interest, financial or otherwise, in our Company.

Although ratification by stockholders is not a prerequisite to the ability of the Audit Committee to appoint MNP as our independent certified public accounting firm, our Audit Committee has recommended that our Board of Directors solicit the vote of our stockholders to ratify the appointment of MNP. Accordingly, stockholders are being requested to ratify the appointment of MNP as our independent certified public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2020. If the stockholders do not ratify the appointment of MNP, the appointment of the independent certified public accounting firm will be reconsidered by the Audit Committee. If the appointment of MNP is ratified, the Audit Committee will continue to conduct an ongoing review of MNP's scope of engagement, pricing and work quality, among other factors.

We do not currently expect a representative of MNP to attend the Annual Meeting, however, it is anticipated that an MNP representative will be available to participate in the Meeting via telephone or video conference with the opportunity to make a statement if the representative wishes to do so, and in order to respond to appropriate questions.

Audit and Non-Audit Fees

Our Audit Committee pre-approved all audit and non-audit services provided to us during the periods listed below. The Audit Committee has not, however, adopted any specific policies and procedures for the engagement of non-audit services. The Audit Committee approves discrete projects on a case-by-case basis that may have a material effect on our operations and also considers whether proposed services are compatible with the independence of the public accountants.

Aggregate fees for professional services rendered to us by MNP for the second quarter are as follows:

  Second Quarter 
            2020    
Audit Fees (1)$25,000    
Audit-Related Fees (2)$17,500

Certificates representing the Meetingshares after the Reverse Stock Split will be issued in due course as share certificates representing shares prior to the Reverse Stock Split are tendered for exchange or transfer to the Company's transfer agent. The Company requests that stockholders not send in any of their stock certificates at this time.

As applicable, new share certificates evidencing new shares following the Reverse Stock Split that are issued in exchange for share certificates issued prior to the Reverse Stock Split representing old shares that are restricted shares will contain the same restrictive legend as on the old certificates. Also, for purposes of determining the term of the restrictive period applicable to the new shares after the Reverse Stock Split, the time period during which a stockholder has held their existing pre-Reverse Stock Split old shares will be included in the total holding period.

Procedure for Implementing the Reverse Stock Split

The Reverse Stock Split will become effective upon the filing of the amendment to the Charter with the Delaware Secretary of State. The timing of the filing of the amendment that will effectuate the Reverse Stock Split will be determined by the Board, at any time prior to February 15, 2023, based on its evaluation as to when such action will be the most advantageous to the Company and its stockholders. In addition, the Board reserves the right, notwithstanding stockholder approval and without further action by the stockholders, to elect not to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split if, at any time prior to filing the amendment, the Board, in its sole discretion, determines that it is no longer in the Company's best interest and the best interests of its stockholders to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split. If the amendment effectuating the Reverse Stock Split has not been filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware by February 15, 2023, the Board will abandon the Reverse Stock Split.

After the filing of the amendment, the Common Stock will have a new CUSIP number, which is a number used to identify its equity securities, and stock certificates with the older CUSIP number will need to be exchanged for stock certificates with the new CUSIP number by following the procedures described below.

As soon as practicable after the Reverse Stock Split, the Company's transfer agent will act as exchange agent for purposes of implementing the exchange of stock certificates for record holders (i.e., stockholders who hold their shares directly in their own name and not through a broker). Record holders of pre-Reverse Stock Split shares will be asked to surrender to the transfer agent certificates representing pre-Reverse Stock Split shares in exchange for a book entry with the transfer agent or certificates representing post-Reverse Stock Split shares in accordance with the procedures to be set forth in a letter of transmittal to be sent by the Company. No new certificates will be issued to a stockholder until such stockholder has surrendered such stockholder's outstanding certificate(s) together with the properly completed and executed letter of transmittal to the exchange agent.

For street name holders of pre-Reverse Stock Split shares (i.e., stockholders who hold their shares through a broker), your broker will make the appropriate adjustment to the number of shares held in your account following the Effective Date.

STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY CERTIFICATE(S) UNTIL REQUESTED TO DO SO.

No service charges, brokerage commissions or transfer taxes will be payable by any stockholder, except that if any new stock certificates are to be issued in a name other than that in which the surrendered certificate(s) are registered it will be a condition of such issuance that (1) the person requesting such issuance pays all applicable transfer taxes resulting from the transfer (or prior to transfer of such certificate, if any) or establishes to the Company's satisfaction that such taxes have been paid or are not payable, (2) the transfer complies with all applicable federal and state securities laws, and (3) the surrendered certificate is properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer.

Fractional Shares

No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares, upon surrender to the exchange agent of such certificates representing such fractional shares, will receive a number of shares rounded up to the nearest whole share.


-14-

Accounting Matters

The par value per share of the Company's Common Stock will remain unchanged at $0.0001 per share after the Reverse Stock Split. As a result, on the Effective Date, the stated capital on the Company's consolidated balance sheet attributable to Common Stock will be reduced and the additional paid-in-capital account will be increased by the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. Per share net income or loss will be increased because there will be fewer shares of Common Stock outstanding. The Company does not anticipate that any other accounting consequences, including changes to the amount of stock-based compensation expense to be recognized in any period, will arise as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences

Each stockholder is advised to consult their own tax advisor as the following discussion may be limited, modified or not apply based on your own particular situation.

The following is a summary of important tax considerations of the Reverse Stock Split. It addresses only stockholders who hold the pre-Reverse Stock Split shares and post-Reverse Stock Split shares as capital assets. It does not purport to be complete and does not address stockholders subject to special rules, such as financial institutions, tax-exempt organizations, insurance companies, dealers in securities, mutual funds, foreign stockholders, stockholders who hold the pre-Reverse Stock Split shares as part of a straddle, hedge, or conversion transaction, stockholders who hold the pre-Reverse Stock Split shares as qualified small business stock within the meaning of Section 1202 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), stockholders who are subject to the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code, and stockholders who acquired their pre-Reverse Stock Split shares pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation. This summary is based upon current law, which may change, possibly even retroactively. It does not address tax considerations under state, local, foreign, and other laws. Furthermore, the Company has not obtained a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or an opinion of legal or tax counsel with respect to the consequences of the Reverse Stock Split.

The Reverse Stock Split is intended to constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code. Assuming the Reverse Stock Split qualifies as reorganization, a stockholder generally will not recognize gain or loss on the Reverse Stock Split. The aggregate tax basis of the post-Reverse Stock Split shares received will be equal to the aggregate tax basis of the pre-Reverse Stock Split shares exchanged (excluding any portion of the holder's basis allocated to fractional shares), and the holding period of the post-Reverse Stock Split shares received will include the holding period of the pre-Reverse Stock Split shares exchanged.

PLEASE CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND FOREIGN INCOME AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT IN YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION.

To ensure compliance with Treasury Department Circular 230, each holder of Common Stock is hereby notified that: (a) any discussion of U.S. federal tax issues in this information statement is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, by such holder for the purpose of avoiding penalties that may be imposed on such holder under the Code; (b) any such discussion has been included by in furtherance of the Reverse Stock Split on the terms described herein and (c) each such holder should seek advice based on its particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.

No Appraisal Rights

No action is proposed herein for which the laws of the State of Delaware, or our Charter or bylaws, provide a right to our stockholders to dissent and obtain appraisal of, or payment for, such stockholders' capital stock.

"HOUSEHOLDING" OF PROXY MATERIALS

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries such as brokers to satisfy delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement or annual report, as applicable, addressed to those shareholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as "householding," potentially provides extra convenience for shareholders and cost savings for companies. Although we do not household for our registered shareholders, some brokers household SusGlobal Energy Corp. proxy materials and annual reports, delivering a single proxy statement and annual report to multiple shareholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected shareholders. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement or annual report, or if you are receiving multiple copies of either document and wish to receive only one, please notify your broker. We will deliver promptly upon written or oral request a separate copy of our annual report and/or proxy statement to a shareholder at a shared address to which a single copy of either document was delivered. For copies of either or both documents, shareholders should write to SusGlobal Energy Corp., 200 Davenport Road, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5R 1J2, or call (416) 223-8500.
