The cost of solicitation of proxies will be borne by the Corporation.

APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES

The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy are directors of the Corporation ("Directors") or officers of the Corporation. Each Shareholder who is entitled to vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint a person, who need not be a Shareholder of the Corporation, to represent him or her at the Meeting other than those whose names are printed on the accompanying form of proxy by inserting such other person's name in the blank space provided in the form of proxy and signing the form of proxy or by completing and signing another proper form of proxy. To be valid, the duly completed form of proxy must be deposited at the offices of Computershare Investor Services Inc. (Attention: Proxy Department), 100 University Avenue, 9^th Floor, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1 no less than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) prior to the day of the Meeting or, by a registered Shareholder, with the Secretary or the Chairman of the Meeting at the time and place of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. The instrument appointing a proxy-holder must be executed by the Shareholder or by his attorney authorized in writing or, if the Shareholder is a corporate body, by its authorized officer or officers.

A Shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke it, as to any motion on which a vote has not already been cast pursuant to the authority conferred by it, by an instrument in writing executed by the Shareholder or by the Shareholder's attorney authorized in writing or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized. The revocation of a proxy, in order to be acted upon, must be deposited with Computershare Investor Services Inc. (Attention: Proxy Department), 100 University Avenue, 9^th Floor, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1 at any time but no less than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) prior to the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof at which the proxy is to be used, or, by a registered Shareholder, with the Secretary or the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, or in any other manner permitted by law.

In addition, a proxy may be revoked by the Shareholder executing another form of proxy bearing a later date and depositing same at the offices of Computershare Investor Services Inc. (Attention: Proxy Department), 100 University Avenue, 9^th Floor, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1 no less than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) prior to the day of the Meeting or, by a registered Shareholder, with the Secretary or the Chairman of the Meeting at the time and place of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof or by the Shareholder personally attending the Meeting and voting his or her shares.

EXERCISE OF DISCRETION BY PROXIES

All Class A shares of the Corporation (the "Common Shares") represented at the meeting by properly executed proxies will be voted and where a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon has been specified in the instrument of proxy, the Common Shares represented by the proxy will be voted in accordance with such specifications. In the absence of any such specifications, the management designees, if named as proxy, will vote IN FAVOUR of all the matters set out herein. Instructions with respect to voting will be respected by the persons designated in the enclosed form of proxy. With respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and with respect to other matters that may properly come before the Meeting, such Common Shares will be voted by the persons so designated at their discretion. At the time of printing this Circular, management of the Corporation knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters.

NON-REGISTERED SHAREHOLDERS

Only registered Shareholders or the persons they appoint as their proxies are permitted to vote at the Meeting. However, in many cases, Common Shares beneficially owned by a person (a "Non-Registered Shareholder") are registered either:

(a)

in the name of an intermediary (an "Intermediary") that the Non-Registered Shareholder deals with in respect of the Common Shares, such as securities dealers or brokers, banks, trust companies, and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans; or

(b)

in the name of a clearing agency of which the Intermediary is a participant. In accordance with National Instrument 54‑101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators, entitled "Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer", the Corporation has distributed copies of the Notice of Meeting and this Circular (collectively, the "Meeting Materials") to the clearing agencies and Intermediaries for distribution to Non-Registered Shareholders.

Intermediaries are required to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Shareholders, and often use a service Corporation for this purpose. Non-Registered Shareholders will either:

(a)

typically, be provided with a computerized form (often called a "voting instruction form") which is not signed by the Intermediary and which, when properly completed and signed by the Non-Registered Shareholder and returned to the Intermediary or its service Corporation, will constitute voting instructions which the Intermediary must follow. The Non‑Registered Shareholder will generally be given a page of instructions which contains a removable label containing a bar-code and other information. In order for the applicable computerized form to validly constitute a voting instruction form, the Non-Registered Shareholder must remove the label from the instructions and affix it to the computerized form, properly complete and sign the form and submit it to the Intermediary or its Service Corporation in accordance with the instructions of the Intermediary or service Corporation. In certain cases, the Non-Registered Shareholder may provide such voting instructions to the Intermediary or its service Corporation through the Internet or through a toll-free telephone number; or

(b)

less commonly, be given a proxy form which has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile, stamped signature), which is restricted to the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Shareholder but which is otherwise not completed. In this case, the Non-Registered Shareholder who wishes to submit a proxy should properly complete the proxy form and submit it to Computershare Investor Services Inc. (Attention: Proxy Department), 100 University Avenue, 9^th Floor, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2Y1.

In either case, the purpose of these procedures is to permit Non-Registered Shareholders to direct the voting of the Common Shares which they beneficially own.

Should a Non-Registered Shareholder who receives a voting instruction form wish to vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on behalf of the Non-Registered Shareholder), such Non-Registered Shareholder should print his or her own name, or that of such other person, on the voting instruction form and return it to the Intermediary or its service Corporation. Should a Non-Registered Shareholder who receives a proxy form wish to vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on behalf of the Non-Registered Shareholder), the Non-Registered Shareholder should strike out the names of the persons set out in the proxy form and insert the name of the Non-Registered Shareholder or such other person in the blank space provided and submit it to Computershare Investor Services Inc. at the address set out at (b) above.

In all cases, Non-Registered Shareholders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary, including those regarding when, where and by what means the voting instruction form or proxy form must be delivered.

A Non-Registered Shareholder may revoke voting instructions which have been given to an Intermediary at any time by written notice to the Intermediary.

RECORD DATE

Shareholders registered as at May 31, 2016 (the "Record Date") are entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting. Shareholders who wish to be represented by proxy at the Meeting must, to entitle the person appointed by the proxy to attend and vote, deliver their proxies at the place and within the time set forth in this Circular.

VOTING SHARES

The Corporation's authorized capital consists of an unlimited number of no par value Common Shares and an unlimited number of no par value Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E preferred shares (collectively the "Preferred Shares"), issuable in one or more series.

The Corporations' Common Shares were consolidated on October 15, 2015 (the "Consolidation"), on the basis of one (1) post‑Consolidation Common Share for every ten (10) pre-Consolidation Common Shares, and each fractional Common Share resulting from the consolidation was rounded up (the "Reverse-Split").

As at the Record Date, there were a total of 10,712,038 Common Shares issued and outstanding and no Preferred Shares issued and outstanding. Each Common Share entitles its holder to one (1) vote.

PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS

Other than as set forth below, as at the Record Date, to the best knowledge of the Corporation, no corporation and no Director or executive officer of the Corporation or other person beneficially owns, or controls or directs, directly or indirectly, voting securities carrying 10% or more of the voting rights attached to the Corporation's Common Shares.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Corporation's articles currently provide that the board of directors of the Corporation (the "Board" or the "Board of Directors") may consist of a maximum of ten directors (the "Directors").

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote FOR the election of each of the five nominees as Directors.

The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy intend to vote for the election of the five nominees whose names are set forth below. Management does not contemplate that any such nominees will be unable to serve as a director of the Corporation. However, if, for any reason, any of the proposed nominees do not stand for election or are unable to serve as such, proxies in favour of management designees will be voted for another nominee at their discretion unless the Shareholder has specified in his proxy that his shares are to be withheld from voting in the election of Directors.

The Directors are appointed at each annual meeting of the Shareholders to hold office for a term expiring at the close of the next annual meeting or until their respective successors are elected or appointed and will be eligible for re-election. A director appointed by the Board between meetings of Shareholders or to fill a vacancy will be appointed for a term expiring at the conclusion of the next annual meeting or until his or her successor is elected or appointed and will be eligible for election or re-election.

Majority Voting Policy

The Corporation's Board adopted a policy that entitles each Shareholder to vote for each nominee on an individual basis. The policy also stipulates that if the votes in favour of the election of a director represent less than a majority of the Common Shares voted and withheld, the nominee will submit his or her resignation promptly after the Meeting for the consideration of the Board. After reviewing the matter, the Board's decision whether to accept or reject the resignation offer will be disclosed to the public within 90 days of the Meeting. The Board has discretion to accept or reject a resignation. The nominee will not participate in any Board deliberations on the resignation offer. The policy does not apply in circumstances involving contested elections.

APPROVAL OF AMENDED STOCK OPTION PLAN

The Corporation's stock option plan (the "Stock Option Plan"), in its current form, was last approved by Shareholders at a meeting held on July 14, 2015. For a description of the principal terms of the Stock Option Plan, see "Compensation Discussion and Analysis - Stock Option Plan" below. On May 11, 2016, the Board approved the amendments to the Stock Option Plan described below, which are subject to Shareholder approval.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider a resolution to approve amendments to the Stock Option Plan (i) to change the existing Stock Option Plan from a "rolling" plan to a "fixed" plan, (ii) to approve an aggregate fixed number of Common Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of all options granted under the plan at 20% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares as at February 29, 2016, representing 2,142,407 Common Shares, which include the 1,066,162 Common Shares reserved for outstanding options under the Stock Option Plan as at the Record Date and an additional reserve of 1,076,245 Common Shares reserved for issuance for additional grants, and (iii) to authorize the Corporation to grant such number of options under the Stock Option Plan that could result in a number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to options granted to (a) related persons exceeding 10% of the Corporation's issued and outstanding Common Shares (on a non-diluted basis) on the date an option is granted, or (b) any one eligible person (and companies wholly owned by that person) in a twelve month period exceeding 5% of the Corporation's issued and outstanding Common Shares (on a non-diluted basis) on the date an option is granted change certain limits to the number of Common Shares that can be reserved for issuance for specific grants (the "Amended Stock Option Plan").

The Stock Option Plan is currently a "rolling" plan, under which the maximum number of Common Shares reserved for issuance is a percentage of the issued and outstanding Common Shares from time to time, and "evergreen" plan, which provides for the replenishment of the number of Common Shares reserved when options are exercised.

The Corporation, on the recommendation and approval of the Board, is proposing to amend the Stock Option Plan to change the Stock Option Plan from a "rolling" and "evergreen" plan to a "fixed" plan, under which the number of Common Shares available for issuance is fixed and there is no replenishment of the number of Common Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of options granted thereunder.

Under the current terms of the Stock Option Plan and before the implementation of the proposed amendment, as of the Record Date, 671,551 Common Shares were issuable in respect of currently outstanding options (representing approximately 6.3% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares), leaving 399,652 Common Shares available for issuance under the Stock Option Plan. Further, the Stock Option Plan prescribes various limits to the number of Common Shares that can be reserved for issuance for specific grants made under the Stock Option Plan. These limits include: (a) subject to receipt of disinterested shareholder approval, the aggregate number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under options granted to any one eligible person shall not exceed 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares in any twelve month period; (b) the aggregate number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under options granted to any one consultant or an individual engaged in Investor Relations Activities (as such term is defined by the policies of the TSXV) shall not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares in any twelve month period with no more than one quarter of such options vesting in any three month period; and (c) subject to receipt of disinterested shareholder approval, the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under options granted to related persons shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares (collectively, the "Existing Limits").

If the amendment to the Stock Option Plan is approved, a maximum number of 2,142,407 Common Shares will be available for issuance under the Amended Stock Option Plan: (i) 671,551 Common Shares reserved for issuance in respect of currently outstanding options granted under the Stock Option Plan (representing approximately 6.3% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares); and (ii) 1,470,856 Common Shares available for issuance in respect of options that may be granted under the Amended Stock Option Plan (representing approximately 13.7% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares). Under the Amended Stock Option Plan, the Existing Limits will be amended and the limits to the number of Common Shares which can be reserved for issuance for grants made under the Amended Stock Option Plan shall be limited to: (a) the aggregate number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under options granted to any one consultant of the Corporation, or any subsidiary of the Corporation, shall not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares in any twelve month period, and (b) the aggregate number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under stock options granted to any one employee of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation, which is engaged in Investor Relation Activities (as such term is defined in the policies of the TSXV) shall not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares in any twelve month period with no more than one quarter of such options vesting in any three month period. A copy of the proposed Amended Stock Option Plan can be obtained by contacting the Corporation's Corporate Secretary.

The proposed amendments to the Stock Option Plan are necessary for Acasti to be able to continue implementing its compensation plan and provide Acasti with the flexibility to award grants under the Amended Stock Option Plan to achieve appropriate equity incentives.

The Amended Stock Option Plan must be approved by a majority of the votes cast by all Shareholders at the Meeting who are not Insiders to whom stock options may be granted under the Stock Option Plan and their associates (the "Disinterested Shareholders"). As at the Record Date, and based on the information available to the Corporation, holders of 104,897 Common Shares are not entitled to vote on the resolution to approve the Amended Stock Option Plan.

Accordingly, Disinterested Shareholders will be asked to consider, and if deemed advisable, to pass, with or without variation, the following ordinary resolution (the "Amended Stock Option Plan Resolution"):

RESOLVED THAT:

the amended stock option plan (the "Amended Stock Option Plan") of Acasti Pharma Inc. (the "Corporation"), as described in the management information circular dated June 14, 2016, is hereby approved, ratified and confirmed.;

the board of directors of the Corporation be and is hereby authorized on behalf of the Corporation to make any amendments to the Amended Stock Option Plan as may be required by regulatory authorities or otherwise made necessary by applicable legislation, without further approval of the Shareholders of the Corporation, in order to ensure the adoption and efficient function of the Amended Stock Option Plan; and

any director or officer of the Corporation be and is hereby authorized and directed to do such things and to execute and deliver all such instruments, deeds and documents, and any amendments thereto, as may be necessary or advisable in order to give effect to the foregoing resolutions, and to complete all transactions in connection with the implementation of the Amended Stock Option Plan.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS BELIEVES THE PASSING OF THE AMENDED STOCK OPTION PLAN RESOLUTION IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CORPORATION AND RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS OF THE CORPORATION VOTE IN FAVOUR OF THE AMENDED STOCK OPTION PLAN RESOLUTION.

The voting rights pertaining to shares represented by duly executed proxies in favor of the persons named in the accompanying form of proxy will be exercised, in the absence of specifications to the contrary, FOR the Amended Stock Option Plan Resolution.

RATIFICATION OF STOCK OPTION GRANTS

Shareholders will be asked to approve a resolution (the "Option Grant Resolution") as set forth below to approve, ratify and confirm a previous grant of 525,000 options to purchase Common Shares of the Corporation to Ms. Jan D'Alvise.

In order to appropriately compensate Ms. D'Alvise in connection with her appointment as the President and Chief Executive Officer of Acasti, and in order to align Ms. D'Alvise's interests with the interests of the Shareholders, the Board granted 525,000 options to purchase Common Shares of the Corporation with an exercise price of $1.56 and a term of seven years to Ms. D'Alvise under the Stock Option Plan on May 12, 2016 (the "D'Alvise Options"). As the grant of the D'Alvise Options was made in excess of the Existing Limits, the D'Alvise Options are subject to the approval of the Shareholders, excluding the votes of the recipient of the D'Alvise Options.

The D'Alvise Options must be approved by a simple majority of votes cast by Shareholders, whether in person or by proxy, at the Meeting, excluding the votes of Ms. D'Alvise and her associates. As at the Record Date, and based on the information available to Acasti, Ms. D'Alvise and her associates do not own, or control or direct any Common Shares. The D'Alvise Options are also subject to TSXV approval.

Accordingly, Shareholders, excluding Ms. D'Alvise and her associates, will be asked to consider, and if deemed advisable, to pass, with or without variation, the following ordinary resolution:

BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

The D'Alvise Options, the whole as described in the management information circular dated June 14, 2016, are hereby approved, ratified and confirmed.

Any director or officer of Acasti Pharma Inc. be and is hereby authorized and directed to do such things and to execute and deliver all such instruments, deeds and documents, and any amendments thereto, as may be necessary or advisable in order to give effect to the foregoing resolutions, and to complete all transactions in connection with the implementation of the D'Alvise Options.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS BELIEVES THE PASSING OF THE OPTION GRANT RESOLUTION IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CORPORATION AND RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS OF THE CORPORATION VOTE IN FAVOUR OF THE OPTION GRANT RESOLUTION.

APPROVAL OF EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

The Corporation's equity incentive plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan"), in its current form, was last approved by Shareholders at a meeting held on June 27, 2013. For a description of the principal terms of the Equity Incentive Plan, see "Compensation Discussion and Analysis - Equity Incentive Plan" below.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider a resolution to approve amendments to the Stock Option Plan (i) to set the total number of Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the Equity Incentive Plan to an aggregate number that (A) if, and for so long as the Common Shares are listed on the TSXV, shall not exceed the lower of (x) 267,800 Common Shares, and (y) 20% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares as of February 29, 2016, representing 2,142,407 Common Shares, which number shall include Common Shares issuable pursuant to options issued under the Amended Stock Option Plan, or (B) if, and for so long as the Common Shares are listed on the TSX, shall not exceed 2.5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares from time to time, and (ii) to change certain limits to the number of Common Shares that can be reserved for issuance for specific grants (the "Amended Equity Incentive Plan").

Under the current terms of the Equity Incentive Plan and before the implementation of the proposed amendment, as of the Record Date, no Common Shares were issuable under the Equity Incentive Plan, leaving 76,928 Common Shares available for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan. Further, the Equity Incentive Plan prescribes various limits to the number of Common Shares that can be reserved for issuance for specific grants made under the Equity Incentive Plan. These limits include: (i) if, and for so long as the Common Shares are listed on the TSXV, no more than 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares may be granted to any one individual Participant (as such term is defined in the Equity Incentive Plan) in any 12 month period (unless Acasti has obtained disinterested approval for such grant) and no more than 2% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares may be granted to any one consultant or employee conducting investor relations activities in any 12 month period, and (ii) if, and for so long as the Common Shares are listed on the TSX, the number of Common Shares (A) issuable, at any time, to Participants (as such term is defined in the Equity Incentive Plan) that are insiders, and (B) issued to Participants (as such term is defined in the Equity Incentive Plan) that are insiders within any 12 month period, pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan, or when combined with all of Acasti's other security based share compensation arrangements shall not, in aggregate, exceed 10% of the total number of outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis (collectively, the "Existing Equity Incentive Plan Limits").

If the amendment to the Equity Incentive Plan is approved, (A) if, and for so long as the Common Shares are listed on the TSXV, a maximum number not exceed the lower of (i) 267,800 Common Shares, and (ii) 20% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares as of February 29, 2016, representing 2,142,407 Common Shares, which number shall include Common Shares issuable pursuant to options issued under the Amended Stock Option Plan, will be available for issuance under the Amended Equity Incentive Plan, or (B) if, and for so long as the Common Shares are listed on the TSX, the maximum number of Common Shares that will be available for issuance under the Amended Equity Incentive Plan shall not exceed 2.5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares from time to time. Further, under the Amended Equity Incentive Plan, the Existing Equity Incentive Plan Limits will be amended and the limits to the number of Common Shares which can be reserved for issuance for grants made under the Amended Equity Incentive Plan shall be limited to: (i) the aggregate number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under options granted to any one consultant of the Corporation, or any subsidiary of the Corporation, shall not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares in any twelve month period, and (ii) the aggregate number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under stock options granted to any one employee of the Corporation or any subsidiary of the Corporation, which is engaged in Investor Relation Activities (as such term is defined in the policies of the TSXV) shall not exceed 2% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares in any twelve month period with no more than one quarter of such options vesting in any three month period. A copy of the proposed Amended Equity Incentive Plan can be obtained by contacting the Corporation's Corporate Secretary.

The proposed amendments to the Equity Incentive Plan are necessary for Acasti to be able to continue implementing its compensation mode and provide Acasti with the flexibility to award grants under the Amended Equity Incentive Plan to achieve appropriate equity incentives.

The Amended Equity Incentive Plan must be approved by a majority of the votes cast by all Disinterested Shareholders. As at the Record Date, and based on the information available to the Corporation, holders of 104,847 Common Shares are not entitled to vote on the resolution to approve the Amended Equity Incentive Plan.

RESOLVED THAT:

the amended equity incentive plan (the "Amended Equity Incentive Plan") of Acasti Pharma Inc. (the "Corporation"), as set forth in the management information circular dated June 14, 2016, is hereby approved, ratified and confirmed;

the board of directors of the Corporation be and is hereby authorized on behalf of the Corporation to make any amendments to the Amended Equity Incentive Plan as may be required by regulatory authorities or otherwise made necessary by applicable legislation, without further approval of the Shareholders of the Corporation, in order to ensure the adoption and efficient function of the Amended Equity Incentive Plan; and

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS BELIEVES THE PASSING OF THE AMENDED EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN RESOLUTION IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CORPORATION AND RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS OF THE CORPORATION VOTE IN FAVOUR OF THE AMENDED EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN RESOLUTION.

OTHER MATTERS

Management of the Corporation knows of no other matters to come before the Meeting other than those referred to in the Notice of Meeting. However, if any other matters that are not known to management should properly come before the Meeting, the accompanying form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein to vote on such matters in accordance with their best judgment.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

"Named Executive Officer" (or "NEO") means: (a) a CEO, (b) a CFO, (c) each of the three most highly compensated executive officers of the Corporation, including any of its subsidiaries, or the three most highly compensated individuals acting in a similar capacity, other than the CEO and the CFO, at the end of the most recently completed financial year whose total compensation was, individually, more than $150,000, and (d) each individual who would be an NEO under paragraph (c) above but for the fact that the individual was neither an executive officer of the Corporation or its subsidiaries, nor acting in a similar capacity, at the end of that financial year.

During the financial year ended February 29, 2016 ("Fiscal 2016"), the Corporation had three Named Executive Officers of the Corporation, being, Mario Paradis, Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), Pierre Lemieux, Chief Operating Officer ("COO"), and Laurent Harvey, Vice President, Clinical and Non-Clinical Affairs. André Godin, whose functions with the Corporation were terminated, was also interim President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation until April 29, 2015.

Compensation Governance

Compensation of executive officers and Directors of the Corporation is recommended to the Board of Directors by the Governance and Human Resources Committee (the "GHR Committee"). In its review process, the GHR Committee relies on input from management on the assessment of executives and Corporation performance.

During Fiscal 2016, the GHR Committee was composed of the following members, each of whom is independent: Dr. Reed V. Tuckson, acting as chairperson, Mr. Roderick N. Carter and Mr. Jerald J. Wenker. The GHR Committee establishes management compensation policies and oversees their general implementation. All members of the GHR Committee have direct experience which is relevant to their responsibilities as GHR Committee members. All members are or have held senior executive or director roles within significant businesses, several also having public companies experience, and have a good financial understanding which allows them to assess the costs versus benefits of compensation plans. The members combined experience in the Corporation's sector provides them with the understanding of the Corporation's success factors and risks, which is very important when determining metrics for measuring success.

Risk management is a primary consideration of the GHR Committee when implementing its compensation program. It does not believe that its compensation program results in unnecessary or inappropriate risk taking, including risks that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation. Payments of bonuses, if any, are not made unless performance goals are met.

For executives, more than half of target direct compensation (base salary + target STIP (as defined below) + target LTIP (as defined below)) is considered "at risk". This mix results in a strong pay-for-performance relationship and an alignment with Shareholders and is competitive with other firms of comparable size in similar fields. The CEO (or any person acting in that capacity) makes recommendations to the GHR Committee as to the compensation of the Corporation's executive officers, other than himself, for approval by the Board. The GHR Committee makes recommendations to the Board of Directors as to the compensation of the CEO, for approval. The CEO's salary is based on comparable market consideration and the GHR Committee's assessment of his performance, with regard to the Corporation's financial performance and progress in achieving strategic performance.

Qualitative factors beyond the quantitative financial metrics are also a key consideration in determination of individual executive compensation payments. How executives achieve their financial results and demonstrate leadership consistent with the Corporation's values are key to individual compensation decisions.

The GHR Committee has authority to retain the services of independent compensation consultants to advise its members on executive compensation and related matters, and to determine the fees and the terms and conditions of the engagement of such consultants. During the financial year ended February 28, 2015, the GHR Committee retained the services of Hexarem Inc. ("Hexarem") to review the Corporation's executive compensation programs, including base salary, short-term and long-term incentives, total cash compensation levels and total direct compensation of certain senior positions, against those of peer groups of similar and larger size, as measured by market capitalization, biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies listed or headquartered in North America.

All of the services provided by Hexarem were provided to the GHR Committee. The GHR Committee has assessed the independence of Hexarem and concluded that its engagement of Hexarem does not raise any conflict of interest with the Corporation or any of the Directors or executive officers. The total remuneration received by Hexarem during such financial year amounted to an aggregate value of $46,000 (plus taxes) for its advisory services rendered to the Corporation and Neptune.

The following two comparator groups were used to benchmark the NEO positions.

Canadian Pharmaceutical and Biotechnology Industries (n=14)		U.S. Vitamins and Nutritional Supplements Industry (n=11)
ProMetic Life Sciences Inc.	Merus Labs International Inc.	USANA Health Sciences Inc.	MYOS Corporation
Aurinia Pharmaceuticals Inc.	Nymox Pharmaceutical Corporation	Medifast Inc.	RiceBran Technologies
Tekmira Pharmaceuticals Corporation	BioSyent Inc.	Nature's Sunshine Products Inc.	Natural Alternatives International Inc.
QLT Inc.	Helix Biopharma Corp.	Nutraceutical International Corporation	Mannatech, Inc.
Cipher Pharmaceuticals Inc.	Oncolytics Biotech Inc.	MusclePharm Corp.	Cyanotech Corp.
Transition Therapeutics Inc.	Cardiome Pharma Corp.	Lifevantage Corporation
Aquinox Pharmaceuticals Inc.	Immunotec Inc.

Benchmarking Against the Canadian Market

The GHR Committee regularly reviews the competitiveness of its compensation programs and the compensation of certain senior positions against other organizations with whom we compete for talent. The GHR Committee retains the services of an independent advisor to select an appropriate comparator group and perform a compensation market review. Selected positions are normally reviewed every two or three years.

The comparator group proposed by the independent advisor and approved by the GHR Committee normally meets the following selection criteria:

publically-traded organizations;

in the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industry; and

headquartered in Canada.

Compensation review results presented by the Corporation's independent consultant are size-adjusted to the scope of the Corporation. This method mitigates the impact that much larger companies may have on the competitive compensation levels. Exceptionally, certain senior positions may also be benchmarked against a similar group of U.S. based organizations.

Alignment at Target with 50^th Percentile

The Corporation anchors its target compensation at the 50th percentile of the reference market with the following components: (i) 80/120 salary structure with midpoints anchored at the 50th percentile, (ii) STIP and LTIP targets fixed at the 50th percentile of the reference market, and (iii) competitive group benefits.

Summary of the Corporation's Compensation Programs

The key components of our compensation programs are highlighted in the table below:

	What are the key features?	Primary objective	What does the compensation element reward?	How is the annual value or target determined?
ANNUAL BASE SALARY	Fixed compensation · Payable in cash · Revised annually and adjusted, as necessary	Provides a market competitive fixed rate of pay	Rewards skills, knowledge, responsibilities and experience	Targets are set at the 50^th percentile of what is paid in the reference market for similar positions
SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN (STIP)	Variable compensation · Payable in cash following the end of each fiscal year	Encourages performance against our annual corporate and individual objectives	Rewards the achievement of our annual objectives	Targets are set at the 50^th percentile of what is paid in the reference market for similar positions
LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN (LTIP)	Variable compensation In forms of stock options, which vest over three years at a rate of 1/3 per year and expire after seven years · Generally granted annually at the beginning of each financial year · Equity incentive grants	Aligns interests of executives and shareholders	Rewards the creation of shareholder value	Targets are set at the 50^th percentile of what is paid in the reference market for similar positions
EMPLOYEE BENEFITS AND PERQUISITES	Fixed compensation Group Benefits · Life, medical, dental and disability insurance Perquisites · RRSP Matching Program	Group Benefits · Provides employees and their families with assistance and security Perquisites · Complements executives' total compensation	---	Competitive overall with programs offered in comparable organizations
PENSION	The Corporation does not have any pension plan available for its executives or Directors	---	---	----

The Corporation's executive compensation program is intended to attract, motivate and retain high performing senior executives, encourage and reward superior performance and align the executives' interests with those of the Corporation by providing a compensation which is competitive with the compensation received by executives employed by comparable companies and ensuring that the achievement of annual objectives is rewarded through the payment of bonuses and providing executives with long-term incentive through the grant of stock options.

Use of Fixed and Variable Pay Components

Compensation of NEOs is revised each year and has been structured to encourage and reward the executive officers on the bases of short-term and long-term corporate performance. In the context of the analysis of the compensation for Fiscal 2016, the following components were examined:

(i)	base salary;

(ii)	short term incentive plan, consisting of a cash bonus;

(iii)

long term incentive plan, consisting of stock options and equity incentive grants based on performance and/or time vesting conditions; and

(iv)	other elements of compensation, consisting of group benefits and perquisites.

Base Salary

Actual base salary paid to executives is set within a salary structure consistent with the Corporation's pay equity policy with a mid-point aligned with the 50^th percentile value of the job within the comparator group. The actual paid salary is set in recognition of the individual's skills, experience and contribution.

Short Term Incentive Plan ("STIP")

STIP targets are aligned with the 50^th percentile of our reference market and set as a percentage of the executive's base salary. Mr. Pierre Lemieux, COO of Acasti, is eligible for up to a 25% bonus of his annual base salary, and Mr. Laurent Harvey, Vice President, Clinical and Non-Clinical Affairs is eligible for up to a 20% bonus. Mr. Mario Paradis, CFO, did not receive any compensation from the Corporation in his capacity as CFO other than the compensation he receives from Neptune, Acasti's parent company, in his capacity of CFO of Neptune. Please refer to the proxy circular of Neptune dated June 14, 2016, for more information on his compensation as CFO of Neptune, a copy of which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

The STIP is revised by the GHR Committee and its independent advisor every 2 to 3 years as market conditions evolve. The annual bonus provides an opportunity for management and executive employees to earn an annual cash incentive based on the financial results of the Corporation and the degree of achievement of objectives set by the Board of Directors, generally based on actual versus budgeted results.

These performance goals will take into account (1) the achievement of R&D milestones within timelines and budget and (2) individual objectives determined annually by the Board according to short-term priorities. The detail of these goals is not disclosed herein as the disclosure of the specific goals could be detrimental to the Corporation and its shareholders by providing competitors with proprietary and extremely sensitive information.

Long Term Incentive Plan ("LITP")

LTIP targets are aligned with the 50^th percentile of our reference market and set as a percentage of the executive base salary. LTIP targets are revised by the GHR Committee and its independent advisor every 2 to 3 years as market conditions evolve. The grant of stock options by the Corporation to executives and management aims to recognize and reward the impact of longer-term strategic actions undertaken by management, offering an added incentive for the retention of the Corporation's executives as well as aligning the interests of the Corporation's executives with that of its Shareholders.

The GHR Committee is responsible for overseeing and managing the Corporation's stock option plan (the "Stock Option Plan"). Grants of stock options to executives and management are approved by the Board of Directors. Generally, new stock option grants do not take into account previous grants of stock options when considering new awards. The terms of the Stock Option Plan are described below under the heading "Stock Option Plan

The GHR Committee may also determine, in its sole discretion and taking into consideration a wide variety of qualitative and quantitative factors, ad hoc numbers of stock options to be granted to participants in order to address extraordinary situation affecting the Corporation's overall activities.

The CEO is also provided with a pool of Stock Options for ad hoc grants to a limited number of other contributors. The CEO has the discretion, with the concomitant support of the GHR Committee to allocate none or all the pool at his/her discretion to:

reward top performers;

new hires;

retain high-potential contributors; and

address special needs.

Each ad hoc grant must be ratified and approved by the Board of Directors in order to give full effect to the issuance of such securities under the Stock Option Plan.

An Equity Incentive Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors in order to provide the Corporation with a share-related mechanism to attract, retain and motivate qualified Directors, employees and consultants of the Corporation and its subsidiaries. The adoption of the Equity Incentive Plan was approved initially by the Shareholders at the 2013 Shareholders' meeting held on June 27, 2013. See section "Compensation Discussion & Analysis – Equity Incentive Plan" below.

The Directors and executive officers are not permitted to purchase financial instruments, including for greater certainty, prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars or units of exchange funds that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by the Director or officer.

Stock Option Plan

The following is a summary of important provisions of the Stock Option Plan. It is not a comprehensive discussion of all of the terms and conditions of the Stock Option Plan. Readers are advised to review the full text of the Stock Option Plan to fully understand all terms and conditions of the Stock Option Plan. A copy of the Stock Option Plan can be obtained by contacting Acasti's Corporate Secretary.

The Corporation's Stock Option Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors on October 8, 2008 and was amended from time to time, including most recently on May 11, 2016.

The grant of options is part of the long-term incentive component of executive and Director compensation and an essential part of compensation. Qualified Directors, employees and consultants of the Corporation and its subsidiaries may participate in the Stock Option Plan, which is designed to encourage optionnees to link their interests with those of Shareholders, in order to promote an increase in Shareholder value. Awards and the determination of any exercise price are made by the Board of Directors, after recommendation by the GHR Committee. Awards are established, among other things, according to the role and responsibilities associated with the participant's position and his or her influence over appreciation in Shareholder value. Any award grants a participant the right to purchase a certain number of Common Shares during a specified term in the future, after a vesting period and/or specific performance conditions, at an exercise price equal to at least 100% of the Market Price (as defined below) of our Common Shares on the grant date. The "Market Price" of Common Shares as of a particular date shall generally mean the closing price per Common Share on the TSXV or any other exchange on which the Common Shares are listed from time to time, for the last preceding date on which there was a sale of such Common Shares on such exchange (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Stock Option Plan in the event that the Company is no longer traded on any stock exchange). Previous awards may sometimes be taken into account when new awards are considered.

On May 11, 2016, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Stock Option Plan pursuant to which all of an option holder's options will immediately vest on the date of a Change of Control event (as such term is defined in the Stock Option Plan), subject to the terms of any employment agreement or other contractual arrangement between the option holder and the Corporation. On the same date the Board of Directors also approved amendment to extend to 12 months the period during which an option holder can exercise its vested options, in the case of death, disability or retirement. Shareholder approval was not required for the May 11, 2016 amendments as the Stock Option Plan contains specific amendment provisions pursuant to which such amendments may be made to the Stock Option Plan upon approval of the Board, without Shareholder approval.

Options for Common Shares of the Corporation representing, from time to time, up to 10% of the outstanding issued Common Shares of the Corporation then outstanding may be granted by the Board pursuant to the Stock Option Plan. As at the Record Date, there were 1,071,203 Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Stock Options Plan, representing 10% of the Common Shares of the Corporation issued and outstanding at that date. As of the Record Date, there are 1,196,551 options outstanding under the Corporation's Stock Option Plan.

Not more than 5% of Common Shares issued by the Corporation pursuant to the Stock Option Plan may be granted to any single optionee during a 12-month period (not more than 2% if such optionee is a consultant or an employee providing investor relations services). In addition, the Stock Option Plan, together with any other plan to be established or any options already granted, will not result in either (i) the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance in connection with options granted to insiders representing more than 10% of the number of Common Shares of the Corporation issued and outstanding, or (ii) the issuance to insiders, during a 12 month period, of a number of options representing more than 10% of the number of Common Shares of the Corporation issued and outstanding.

Options granted under the Stock Option Plan are non-transferable and are subject to a minimum vesting period of 18 months, with gradual and equal vesting on no less than a quarterly basis. They are exercisable, subject to vesting and/or performance conditions, at a price equal to the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSXV on the day prior to the grant of such options. In addition, and unless otherwise provided for in the agreement between the Corporation and the holder, options will also lapse upon termination of employment or the end of the business relationship with the Corporation except that they may be exercised for 60 days after termination or the end of the business relationship (30 days for investor relations services employees), to the extent that they will have vested on such date of termination of employment.

Subject to the approval of the relevant authorities, including the TSXV if applicable, and compliance with any conditions attached to such approval (including, in certain circumstances, approval by disinterested Shareholders) if applicable, the Board of Directors has the right to amend or terminate the Stock Option Plan. However, unless option holders consent to the amendment or termination of the Stock Option Plan in writing, any such amendment or termination of the Stock Option Plan cannot affect the conditions of options that have already been granted and that have not been exercised under the Stock Option Plan.

Pursuant to the rules of the TSXV, the Stock Option Plan must be approved each year by the Shareholders of the Corporation at its annual meeting.

The Corporation, on the recommendation and approval of the Board, is proposing certain amendments to the Stock Option Plan, including changing the Stock Option Plan from a "rolling" and "evergreen" plan to a "fixed" plan, in which there is no replenishment of the number of Common Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of options granted under the Stock Option Plan. See "Particulars Of Matters To Be Acted Upon – Amendment to Stock Option Plan".

Equity Incentive Plan

The following is a summary of important provisions of the Equity Incentive Plan. It is not a comprehensive discussion of all of the terms and conditions of the Equity Incentive Plan. Readers are advised to review the full text of the Equity Incentive Plan to fully understand all terms and conditions of the Equity Incentive Plan. A copy of the Equity Incentive Plan can be obtained by contacting Acasti's Corporate Secretary.

On May 22, 2013, the Equity Incentive Plan was adopted by the Board in order to, amongst other things, provide Acasti with a share-related mechanism to attract, retain and motivate qualified Directors, employees and consultants of Acasti. The adoption of the Equity Incentive Plan was initially approved by the Shareholders at its 2013 Shareholders' meeting held on June 27, 2013.

Eligible Persons may participate in the Equity Incentive Plan. "Eligible Persons" under the Equity Incentive Plan consist of any director, officer, employee or consultant (as defined in the Equity Incentive Plan) of Acasti or of a subsidiary. A participant ("Participant") is an Eligible Person to whom an award has been granted under the Equity Incentive Plan. The Equity Incentive Plan provides Acasti with the option to grant to Eligible Persons Bonus Shares, Restricted Shares, Restricted Share Units, Performance Share Units, Deferred Share Units and other Share-Based Awards.

Subject to the adjustment provisions provided for in the Equity Incentive Plan and the applicable rules and regulations of all regulatory authorities to which Acasti is subject (including any stock exchange), the total number of Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the Equity Incentive Plan will be equal to a number that (A) if, and for so long as the Common Shares are listed on the TSXV, shall not exceed either (i) 1,829,282 Common Shares, and (ii) 10% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, which number shall include Common Shares issuable pursuant to the Acasti Stock Option Plan, or (B) if, and for so long as the Common Shares are listed on the TSX, shall not exceed 2.5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares from time to time.

If, and for so long as the Common Shares are listed on the TSXV, no more than 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares may be granted to any one individual Participant in any 12 month period (unless Acasti has obtained disinterested approval for such grant) and no more than 2% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares may be granted to any one consultant or employee conducting investor relations activities in any 12 month period.

If, and for so long as the Common Shares are listed on the TSX, the number of Common Shares (A) issuable, at any time, to Participants that are insiders, and (B) issued to Participants that are insiders within any 12 month period, pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan, or when combined with all of Acasti's other security based share compensation arrangements shall not, in aggregate, exceed 10% of the total number of outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis.

The Board has the right to determine that any unvested or unearned Restricted Share Units, Deferred Share Units, Performance Share Units or other Share-Based Awards or Restricted Shares subject to a Restricted Period outstanding immediately prior to the occurrence of a change in control shall become fully vested or earned or free of restriction upon the occurrence of such change in control. The Board may also determine that any vested or earned Restricted Share Units, Deferred Share Units, Performance Share Units or other Share-Based Awards shall be cashed out at the market price as of the date such change in control is deemed to have occurred, or as of such other date as the Board may determine prior to the change in control. Further, the Board shall have the right to provide for the conversion or exchange of any Restricted Share Unit, Deferred Share Unit, Performance Share Unit or other Share-Based Award into or for rights or other securities in any entity participating in or resulting from the change in control.

The Equity Incentive Plan is administered by the Board and the Board has sole and complete authority, in its discretion, to determine the type of awards under the Equity Incentive Plan relating to the issuance of common shares (including any combination of Bonus Shares, Restricted Share Units, Performance Share Units, Deferred Share Units, Restricted Shares or other Share-Based Awards) in such amounts, to such persons and under such terms and conditions as the Board may determine, in accordance with the provisions of the Equity Incentive Plan and the recommendations made by the GHR Committee.

The Corporation, on the recommendation and approval of the Board, is proposing to amend the Equity Incentive Plan, including changing certain limits to the number of Common Shares that can be reserved for issuance for specific grants. See "Particulars Of Matters To Be Acted Upon – Amendment to Equity Incentive Plan".

Other Forms of Compensation

RRSP Matching Program

Effective June 1, 2016, the Corporation sponsors a voluntary RRSP matching program (the "RRSP Matching Program") which is open to all eligible employees, including NEOs. The RRSP Matching Program matches employees' contributions up to a maximum of $1,000 per fiscal year for eligible employees who participate in the program.

Other than matching contributions under the RRSP Matching Program (which amounts are disclosed in the column entitled "All Other Compensation" in the summary compensation table below), the Corporation does not provide pension or retirement benefits to its executive or Directors.

Other Benefits and Perquisites

The Corporation's executive employee benefit program also includes life, medical, dental and disability insurance. These benefits and perquisites are designed to be competitive overall with equivalent positions in comparable organizations. The Corporation does not have any pension plan available for its employees, executives or Directors.

Performance Graph

The following graph shows the cumulative return in dollars of a $100 investment in common shares of the Corporation, as of March 31^st, 2011 on the TSXV, compared with the total return of the S&P TSX Composite Index for the period shown on this graph.

⁽¹⁾

The Corporation's shares were listed on the TSXV for the first time on March 31, 2011 (TSXV: APO).

⁽²⁾

On February 29, 2016, the closing price of the Common Shares of the Corporation on the TSXV was $2.02 per share.

	Feb. 28, 2011		Feb. 29, 2012			Feb. 28, 2013			Feb. 28, 2014			Feb. 28, 2015			Feb. 29, 2016
NEOs Total Annual Compensation	$	682,045	$	1,666,241		$	1,811,591		$	3,087,762		$	522,291		$	655,297
Annual Change (in %)				144.30	%		8.72	%		70.44	%		-83.09	%		25.,47	%
Acasti TSR	$	100,00	$	314.06		$	367.19		$	220.31		$	106.25		$	31.56
Annual Change (in %)				214.06	%		16.92	%		-40.00	%		-51.77	%		-70.30	%

Total annual compensation of the five NEOs who were in office at the end of each fiscal year decreased by approximately 4% between March 31, 2011 and February 29, 2016. Over the same period, the TSR of a $100 investment in the Common Shares, decreased by approximately 70%. The GHR Committee considers a number of factors and performance elements when determining compensation for the members of the executive management. Although total cumulative Shareholder return is one performance measure that is reviewed, it is not the only consideration in executive compensation deliberations. As a result, a direct correlation between total cumulative Shareholder return over a given period and executive compensation levels is not anticipated.

COMPENSATION OF NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Director Independence

The Board of Directors believes that, in order to maximize effectiveness, the Board of Directors must be able to operate independently. A majority of Directors must satisfy the applicable tests of independence, such that the Board of Directors complies with all independence requirements under applicable corporate and securities laws and stock exchange requirements applicable to the Corporation. No Director will be independent unless the Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that the Director has no material relationship with the Corporation or any of its affiliates, either directly or indirectly or as a partner, shareholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Corporation or its Affiliates. Such determinations will be made on an annual basis and, if a Director joins the Board of Directors between annual meetings, at such time.

Independent Directors

The Board of Directors considers that Mr. Fitzgibbon and Dr. Carter are "independent" within the meaning of NI 52-110.

After the resignation of certain Directors on February 29, 2016, Mr. Fitzgibbon, Chairman of the board of directors of Neptune, joined temporarily as member of the Board of Directors and Chair of the Audit and GHR Committees of the Corporation to insure a proper transition between the departing Directors and the election of the new nominees at the Meeting. Mr. Fitzgibbon does not intend to solicit a renewal of his mandate as Director of Acasti at the Meeting.

Directors who are not independent

The Board of Directors considers that Mr. James S. Hamilton is not "independent" within the meaning of NI 52-11 given that he is President and CEO of Neptune as well as a member of the board of directors of Neptune.

Majority of Directors will be independent

As of the date of this Circular, the Board of Directors considers that currently two out of three members of the Board of Directors are independent within the meaning of NI 52-110, as it applies to the Board of Directors. Upon the election of the proposed Directors, three out of five members of the Board for the ensuing year will be independent within the meaning of NI 52-110, as it applies to the Board of Directors, and a majority of the Directors will therefore be independent.

Independent Directors hold regularly scheduled closed meetings

During the last completed financial year ended February 29, 2016, the independent Directors held at least five (5) scheduled meetings at which non-independent. Directors and members of management were not in attendance.

Attendance record of Directors for Board meetings

The Code of Conduct provides for specific procedures for reporting non-compliant practices in a manner which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, encourages and promotes a culture of ethical business conduct.

In addition, under the Civil Code of Québec, to which the Corporation is subject as a legal person incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Québec) (L.R.Q., c. S-31), a Director of the Corporation must immediately disclose to the Board of Corporation any situation that may place him in a conflict of interest. Any such declaration of interest is recorded in the minutes of proceeding of the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The Director abstains, except if required, from the discussion and voting on the question. In addition, it is the policy of the Corporation that an interested Director recuse himself or herself from the decision-making process pertaining to a contract or transaction in which he or she has an interest.

NOMINATION OF DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors receives recommendations from the GHR Committee, but retains responsibility for managing its own affairs by, among other things, giving its approval for the composition and size of the Board of Directors, and the selection of candidates nominated for election to the Board of Directors. The GHR Committee shall initially evaluate candidates for nomination for election as Directors, having regard to the background, employment and qualifications of possible candidates.

The selection of the nominees for the Board of Directors is made by the other members of the Board, based on the needs of the Corporation and the qualities required to sit on the Board of Directors, including ethical character, integrity and maturity of judgment of the candidates; the level of experience of the candidates, their ideas regarding the material aspects of the business of the Corporation, the expertise of the candidates in fields relevant to the Corporation while complementing the training and experience of the other members of the Board of Directors; the will and ability of the candidates to devote the necessary time to their duties to the Board of Directors and its committees, the will of the candidates to serve on the Board of Directors for numerous consecutive financial periods and finally, the will of the candidates to refrain from engaging in activities which conflict with the responsibilities and duties of a Director of the Corporation and its Shareholders. The Corporation researches the training and qualifications of potential new Directors which seem to correspond to the selection criteria of the Board of Directors and, depending on the results of said research, organizes meetings with the potential candidates.

In the case of incumbent Directors whose terms of office are set to expire, the Corporation will review such Directors' overall service to the Corporation during their term of office, including the number of meetings attended, level of participation, quality of performance and any transactions of such Directors with the Corporation during their term of office.

The Corporation may use various sources in order to identify the candidates for the Board of Directors, including its own contacts and the references of other Directors, officers, advisors of the Corporation and executive placement agencies. The Corporation will consider Director candidates recommended by Shareholders and will evaluate such Director candidates in the same manner in which it evaluates candidates recommended by other sources. In making recommendations for Director nominees for the annual meeting of Shareholders, the Corporation will consider any written recommendations of Director candidates by Shareholders received by the Corporate Secretary of the Corporation not later than 120 days before the anniversary of the previous year's annual meeting of Shareholders. Recommendations must include the candidate's name, contact information and a statement of the candidate's background and qualifications, and must be mailed to the Corporation.

Following the selection of the candidates by the Board of Directors, the Corporation will propose a list of candidates to the Shareholders, for the annual meeting of the Corporation.

The Board of Directors does not have a nominating committee and has not adopted any formal written Director term limit policy.

COMPENSATION

The GHR Committee has the responsibility of evaluating the compensation, performance incentives as well as the benefits granted to the Corporation's upper management in accordance with their responsibilities and performance as well as to recommend the necessary adjustments to the Board of Directors of the Corporation. This committee also reviews the amount and method of compensation granted to the Directors. The GHR Committee may mandate an external firm in order to assist it during the execution of its mandate. The GHR Committee considers time commitment, comparative fees and responsibilities in determining compensation. With respect to the compensation of the Corporation's officers, see "Report on Executive Compensation" above.

The GHR Committee is only composed of independent members within the meaning of NI 52-110, namely Messrs. Pierre Fitzgibbon and Roderick N. Carter.

OTHER BOARD COMMITTEES

Other than the Audit Committee, the Corporation also has a GHR Committee. The mandate of the GHR Committee consists of the evaluation of the proposed nominations of senior executives and Director candidates to the Corporation's Board of Directors, recommending for Board approval, if appropriate, revisions of our corporate governance practices and procedures, developing new charters for any new committees established by the Board of Directors, monitoring relationships and communication between management and the Board of Directors, monitoring emerging best practices in corporate governance and oversight of governance matters and assessing the Board of Directors and its committees. The GHR Committee is also in charge of establishing the procedure which must be followed by the Corporation in order for it to comply with the guidelines of the TSXV regarding corporate governance.

ASSESSMENTS

The Board of Directors, its committees and each Director of the Corporation are subject to periodic evaluations of their efficacy and contribution. The evaluation procedure consists in identifying any shortcomings and implementing adjustments proposed by Directors at the beginning and during meetings of the Board of Directors and of each of its committees. Among other things, these adjustments deal with the level of preparation of Directors, management and consultants employed by the Corporation, the relevance and sufficiency of the documentation provided to Directors and the time allowed to Directors for discussion and debate of items on the agenda.

DIRECTOR TERM LIMITS

The Board has actively considered the issue of term limits for Directors and will continue to do so. At this time, the Board does not believe that it is in the best interests of the Corporation to establish a limit on the number of times a Director may stand for election. While such a limit could help create an environment where fresh ideas and viewpoints are available to the Board, a director term limit could also disadvantage the Corporation through the loss of the beneficial contribution of Directors who have developed increasing knowledge of, and insight into, the Corporation and its operations, over a period of time. As the Corporation operates in a unique industry, it is difficult to find qualified Directors with the appropriate background and experience and the introduction of a director term limit would impose further difficulty.

POLICIES REGARDING THE REPRESENTATION OF WOMEN ON THE BOARD AND AMONGST EXECUTIVE OFFICERS

The Corporation has not adopted a formal written policy regarding diversity amongst executive officers and members of the Board of Directors, including mechanisms for Board renewal, in connection with, among other things, the identification and nomination of women Directors. Nevertheless, the Corporation recognizes that gender diversity is a significant aspect of diversity and acknowledges the important role that women with appropriate and relevant skills and experience can play in contributing to the diversity of perspective on the Board of Directors.

Rather than considering the level of representation of women for directorship and executive officer positions when making Board or executive officer appointments, Acasti considers all candidates based on their merit and qualifications relevant to the specific role. While Acasti recognizes the benefits of diversity at all levels within its organization, it does not currently have any targets, rules or formal policies that specifically require the identification, consideration, nomination or appointment of candidates for directorship or executive management positions or that would otherwise force the composition of the Corporation's Board of Directors and executive management team. Acasti has recently appointed Ms. Janelle D'Alvise as President and CEO of the Corporation, and as a proposed Director for election at the Meeting.
