MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

September 25, 2009

This Management Information Circular is being furnished to the shareholders (the “Shareholders”) holding common shares (the “Common Shares”) in the capital of KHD Humboldt Wedag International Ltd. (the “Company”) in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) and management of the Company for use at the annual meeting (the “Meeting”) to be held on Saturday, October 24, 2009 at 2:00 p.m. (Hong Kong time), and at any adjournment or adjournments thereof, at Suite 803, Ruttonjee House, Ruttonjee Centre, 11 Duddell Street, Central, Hong Kong SAR, China, for the purposes set forth in the Notice of Meeting, which accompanies and is part of this Management Information Circular.

The Notice of Meeting, form of proxy, supplemental mailing card and this Management Information Circular will be mailed to Shareholders commencing on or about September 30, 2009. The information contained herein is given as of September 25, 2009, except as otherwise stated. All dollar amounts set forth in this Management Information Circular are expressed in United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

VOTING INFORMATION

Solicitation of Proxies

The solicitation of proxies by management of the Company will be conducted by mail and may be supplemented by telephone or other personal contact and such solicitation will be made without special compensation granted to the directors, officers and employees of the Company. The Company does not reimburse Shareholders, nominees or agents for costs incurred in obtaining, from the principals of such persons, authorization to execute forms of proxy, except that the Company has requested brokers and nominees who hold stock in their respective names to furnish this Management Information Circular and related proxy materials to their customers, and the Company will reimburse such brokers and nominees for their related out of pocket expenses. No solicitation will be made by specifically engaged employees or soliciting agents. The cost of solicitation will be borne by the Company.

No person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representation other than as contained in this Management Information Circular in connection with the solicitation of proxies. If given or made, such information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by the Company. The delivery of this Management Information Circular shall not create, under any circumstances, any implication that there has been no change in the information set forth herein since the date of this Management Information Circular. This Management Information Circular does not constitute the solicitation of a proxy by anyone in any jurisdiction in which such solicitation is not authorized, or in which the person making such solicitation is not qualified to do so, or to anyone to whom it is unlawful to make such an offer of solicitation.

Record Date

The Board has set the close of business on September 18, 2009 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for determining which Shareholders shall be entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the

Meeting. Only Shareholders of record (“Registered Shareholders”) as of the Record Date are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting unless, after the Record Date, a Registered Shareholder transfers its Common Shares and the transferee, upon establishing that such transferee owns such Common Shares, requests in writing, at least ten (10) days prior to the Meeting or any adjournment or adjournments thereof, that such transferee may have its name included on the list of Shareholders entitled to vote at the Meeting, in which case such transferee is entitled to vote such Common Shares at the Meeting. Such written request by a transferee shall be filed with the President of the Company at Suite 1620, 400 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 3A6.

Appointment of Proxyholders

Registered Shareholders are entitled to vote at the Meeting. A Shareholder is entitled to one vote for each Common Share that such Shareholder holds on September 18, 2009 on the resolutions to be voted upon at the Meeting, and any other matter to come before the Meeting.

The persons named as proxyholders (the “Designated Persons”) in the enclosed form of proxy are directors and/or officers of the Company.

A Shareholder has the right to appoint a person or corporation (who need not be a Shareholder) to attend and act for or on behalf of that Shareholder at the Meeting, other than the Designated Persons named in the enclosed form of proxy. The Shareholder may exercise this right by striking out the printed names and inserting the name of such other person and, if desired, an alternate to such person, in the blank space provided in the form of proxy.

In order to be voted, the completed form of proxy must be received by the Company, by mail or by hand, to the attention of either of: (i) BNY Mellon Shareowner Services, PO Box 3862, S Hackensack, New Jersey, USA 07606-9562 (for Shareholders in the United States) or BNY Mellon Shareowner Services, PO Box 3865, S Hackensack, New Jersey, USA 07606-3865 (for Shareholders outside of the United States), or (ii) the President of the Company, Suite 1620, 400 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 3A6, by October 22, 2009. Alternatively, the completed form of proxy may be deposited with the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment or postponement thereof.

A proxy may not be valid unless it is dated and signed by the Shareholder who is giving it or by that Shareholder’s attorney-in-fact duly authorized by that Shareholder in writing or, in the case of a corporation, dated and executed by a duly authorized officer, or attorney-in-fact, for the corporation. If a form of proxy is executed by an attorney-in-fact for an individual Shareholder or joint Shareholders, or by an officer or attorney-in-fact for a corporate Shareholder, the instrument so empowering the officer or attorney-in-fact, as the case may be, or a notarially certified copy thereof, should accompany the form of proxy.

Revocability of Proxy

Any Registered Shareholder who has returned a form of proxy may revoke it at any time before it has been exercised. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a form of proxy may be revoked by instrument in writing, including a form of proxy bearing a later date, executed by the Registered Shareholder or by his or her attorney duly authorized in writing or, if the Registered Shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by a duly authorized officer or attorney thereof. The instrument revoking the form of proxy must be deposited at the same address where the original form of proxy was delivered at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the date of the Meeting, or any adjournment or adjournments thereof, or with the Chairman of the Meeting on the date but prior to the commencement of the Meeting. A Shareholder who has submitted a form of proxy may also revoke it by attending the Meeting in person (or if the Shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized representative of the corporation attending the Meeting) and registering with the scrutineer thereat as a Registered Shareholder present in person, whereupon such form of proxy shall be deemed to have been revoked.

Only Registered Shareholders have the right to revoke a form of proxy. Non-Registered Holders (as defined herein) who wish to change their vote must, at least seven days before their Meeting, arrange for their respective Intermediaries (as defined herein) to revoke the form of proxy on their behalf.

Voting of Common Shares and Proxies and Exercise of Discretion by Designated Persons

A Shareholder may indicate the manner in which the Designated Persons are to vote with respect to a matter to be voted upon at the Meeting by marking the appropriate space. If the instructions as to voting indicated in the proxy are certain, the Common Shares represented by the form of proxy will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions given in the form of proxy. If the Shareholder specifies a choice in the form of proxy with respect to a matter to be acted upon, then the Common Shares represented will be voted or withheld from the vote on that matter accordingly. The Common Shares represented by a form of proxy will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions of the Shareholder on any ballot that may be called for and if the Shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the Common Shares will be voted accordingly.

If no choice is specified in the form of proxy with respect to a matter to be acted upon, the form of proxy confers discretionary authority with respect to that matter upon the Designated Persons named in the form of proxy. It is intended that the Designated Persons will vote the Common Shares represented by the form of proxy in favour of each matter identified in the form of proxy, including the vote for the election of the nominee to the Board and for the appointment of the independent auditors of the Company.

The enclosed form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting, including any amendments or variations to any matters identified in the Notice of Meeting, and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. At the date of this Management Information Circular, management of the Company is not aware of any such amendments, variations, or other matters to come before the Meeting.

In the case of abstentions from, or withholding of, the voting of the Common Shares on any matter, the Common Shares that are the subject of the abstention or withholding will be counted for the determination of a quorum, but will not be counted as affirmative or negative on the matter to be voted upon.

NON-REGISTERED HOLDERS

Only Registered Shareholders or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Most Shareholders are “non-registered” Shareholders because the Common Shares they own are not registered in their names but are instead registered in the name of the brokerage firm, bank or trust company through which they purchased the Common Shares. More particularly, a person is not a Registered Shareholder in respect of Common Shares which are held on behalf of that person (the “Non-Registered Holder”) but which are registered either: (a) in the name of an intermediary (an “Intermediary”) that the Non-Registered Holder deals with in respect of the Common Shares (Intermediaries include, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators or self-administered RRSP’s, RRIF’s, RESPs and similar plans); or (b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as CDS Clearing and Depositary Services Inc. (“CDS”)) of which the Intermediary is a participant. In accordance with the requirements set out in National Instrument 54-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators, the Company has distributed copies of the Notice of Meeting, this Management Information Circular and the form of proxy (collectively, the “Meeting Materials”) to the clearing agencies and Intermediaries for onward distribution to Non-Registered Holders.

Intermediaries are required to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Holders unless a Non-Registered Holder has waived the right to receive them. Very often, Intermediaries will use service companies to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Holders. Generally, Non-Registered Holders who have not waived the right to receive Meeting Materials will either:

(a)

be given a form of proxy which has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile, stamped signature), which is restricted as to the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Holder but which is otherwise not completed. Because the Intermediary has already signed the form of proxy, this form of proxy is not required to be signed by the Non-Registered Holder when submitting the proxy. In this case, the Non-Registered Holder who wishes to submit a proxy should otherwise properly complete the form of proxy and deposit it with the Company as provided above; or

(b)

more typically, be given a voting instruction form which is not signed by the Intermediary, and which, when properly completed and signed by the Non-Registered Holder and returned to the Intermediary or its service company, will constitute voting instructions (often called a “proxy authorization form”) which the Intermediary must follow. Typically, the proxy authorization form will consist of a one page pre-printed form. Sometimes, instead of a one page pre-printed form, the proxy authorization will consist of a regular printed proxy form accompanied by a page of instructions, which contains a removable label containing a bar-code and other information. In order for the form of proxy to validly constitute a proxy authorization form, the Non-Registered Holder must remove the label from the instructions and affix it to the form of proxy, properly complete and sign the form of proxy and return it to the Intermediary or its service company in accordance with the instructions of the Intermediary or its service company.

In either case, the purpose of this procedure is to permit a Non-Registered Holder to direct the voting of the Common Shares which they beneficially own. Should a Non-Registered Holder who receives one of the above forms wish to vote at the Meeting in person, the Non-Registered Holder should strike out the names of the management proxyholders named in the form and insert the Non-Registered Holder’s name in the blank space provided. In either case, Non-Registered Holders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary, including those regarding when and where the proxy or proxy authorization form is to be delivered.

There are two kinds of beneficial owners — those who object to their name being made known to the issuers of securities which they own (called OBOs for Objecting Beneficial Owners) and those who do not object to the issuers of the securities they own knowing who they are (called NOBOs for Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners). Pursuant to National Instrument 54-101, issuers can obtain a list of their NOBOs from Intermediaries for distribution of proxy-related materials directly to NOBOs.

These security holder materials are being sent to both Registered Shareholders and Non-Registered Holders. If you are a Non-Registered Holder, and the Company or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of securities have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the Intermediary holding on your behalf.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS THEREOF

As at September 18, 2009, being the Record Date, there were a total of 30,259,911 Common Shares issued and outstanding, not including 5,875,617 Common Shares owned by five wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. Each Common Share entitles the holder thereof to one vote at the Meeting. The following table sets forth, as of September 18, 2009, to the best of the Company’s knowledge and based solely upon public records and filings, the only persons or companies which beneficially own, or control or direct, directly or indirectly, voting securities carrying 10% or more of the votes attached to the issued and outstanding Common Shares:

Name		Amount Owned				Percent of Class (1)
Peter Kellogg			6,283,100	(2)			20.8	%

The Company’s authorized capital consists of an unlimited number of Common Shares without par value and an unlimited number of class A preferred shares without par value. The Company’s class A preferred shares may be issued in one or more series and the Company’s directors may fix the number of shares which are to comprise each series and the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching thereon.

Holders of the Common Shares are entitled to vote at all meetings of Shareholders, except meetings at which only holders of a specified class of shares are entitled to vote, receive any dividend declared by the Company and, subject

to the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to any other class of shares, receive the remaining property of the Company upon dissolution.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Company’s Articles provide for three classes of directors with staggered terms. Each director holds office until the expiry of his or her term or until his or her successor is elected or appointed, unless his or her office is earlier vacated in accordance with the Articles of the Company or with the provisions of the British Columbia Business Corporations Act . At each annual meeting of the Company, a class of directors is elected to hold office for a three- year term. Successors to the class of directors whose terms expire are identified as being of the same class as the directors they succeed and are elected to hold office for a term expiring at the third succeeding annual meeting of the Shareholders. A director appointed or elected to fill a vacancy on the Board holds office for the unexpired term of his or her predecessor.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be called upon to re-elect the sole Class I director (the “nominee”) by ordinary resolution. The Board has selected Indrajit Chatterjee as the nominee. Mr. Chatterjee has been a director of the Company since 2005 and is a member of the Company’s Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

Michael J. Smith and Silke Stenger each have two years remaining in their respective terms as Class III directors of the Company, which terms expire at the annual meeting of the Shareholders to be held in 2011.

Dr. Kelvin K. Yao resigned as director effective May 1, 2009 and Gerhard Rolf was appointed to fill the resulting vacancy on the Board. As such, Mr. Rolf will hold office for the unexpired portion of Dr. Yao’s term. Dr. Shuming Zhao and Mr. Rolf each have one year remaining in their respective terms as Class II directors of the Company, which terms expire at the annual meeting of the Shareholders to be held in 2010.

While management does not contemplate that the nominee will be unable to serve as a director, if, prior to the Meeting, the nominee is unable to stand for re-election as a director for any reason, the Designated Persons shall have the discretionary authority to vote for the election of any other person or persons as directors.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to pass an ordinary resolution to elect Indrajit Chatterjee as a Class I director of the Company to serve a term of three years until the close of the annual meeting of the Shareholders held in 2012.

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of the above resolution at the Meeting . To be effective, the above resolution must be approved by a majority of the votes properly cast thereon by Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting.

STATEMENT OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

General

On September 18, 2008, the Canadian Securities Administrators announced the adoption of new rules under Form 51-102F6 Statement of Executive Compensation (the “New Form”) in respect of financial years ending on or after December 31, 2008. The disclosure contained in this section complies with the new rules. While the new rules require the compensation table to present compensation information for the Company’s three most recently completed financial years that end on or after December 31, 2008, in this first year of implementation, the Company is not required to include any comparative period disclosure.

For the purposes of this Management Information Circular:

“ CEO ” of the Company means each individual who acted as chief executive officer of the Company or acted in a similar capacity for any part of the most recently completed financial year;

“ CFO ” of the Company means each individual who acted as chief financial officer of the Company or acted in a similar capacity for any part of the most recently completed financial year;

“ COO ” of the Company means each individual who acted as chief operating officer of the Company or acted in a similar capacity for any part of the most recently completed financial year;

“Named Executive Officers ” or “NEOs” means:

	(a)		the Company’s CEO;
	(b)		the Company’s CFO;
	(c)		each of the Company’s three most highly compensated executive officers, or the three most highly compensated individuals acting in a similar capacity, other than the CEO and CFO, at the end of the most recently completed financial year and whose total compensation was, individually, more than $150,000 as determined in accordance with subsection 1.3(6) of the New Form; and

(d)

any individual who would be a NEO under paragraph (c) but for the fact that the individual was neither an executive officer of the Company, nor acting in a similar capacity at the end of the most recently completed financial year.

Compensation Committee

Effective July 15, 2005, the Company formed the Compensation Committee of the Board. During the year ended December 31, 2008, three meetings (including all committee actions by written consent in lieu of a meeting) were held by the Compensation Committee. In 2008, the Compensation Committee consisted of Indrajit Chatterjee, Silke Stenger, Shuming Zhao and Kelvin Yao, all of whom were non-employee directors. Kelvin Yao resigned effective May 1, 2009 and, as such, the Compensation Committee currently consists of Shuming Zhao, Silke Stenger and Indrajit Chatterjee.

The Board adopted a charter for the Compensation Committee on October 21, 2004, a copy of which was filed with the Company’s Information Circular that was filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) on July 3, 2007. The Compensation Committee has the following responsibilities:

	•		reviewing and approving the corporate goals and objectives relevant to CEO compensation, evaluating the CEO’s performance and making recommendations to the Board with respect to the CEO’s compensation based on this evaluation;
	•		making recommendations to the Board with respect to the compensation of the CFO and COO, including recommendations regarding salary, incentives, benefits and perquisites;
	•		reviewing executive compensation disclosure before the Company publicly discloses such information; and
	•		reviewing compensation policies and proposals with reference to industry sectors and markets in which the Company competes for executive and senior management talent.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

In establishing policies covering base salaries, benefits, perquisites and incentive plans, the Compensation Committee takes into consideration the recommendations of the CEO, who determines compensation for executives of the Company other than the CFO and the COO, as appropriate. In 2008, each of James Busche, Alan Hartslief and Jouni Salo were awarded compensation pursuant to the terms of their respective letter employment agreements.

Objectives of Executive Compensation

In 2008, the Company did not have a compensation program, other than paying base salaries, incentive bonuses and stock options to the NEOs. The philosophy of the Committee in determining executive compensation and the Company’s compensation program is to encourage and reward performance in order to maintain the position of the Company in a highly competitive environment. The Compensation Committee endeavors to ensure that the Company’s compensation policies:

	•		attract and retain highly qualified and experienced executives and managers as well as align the compensation level of each executive to that executive’s level of responsibility;
	•		recognize and reward contributions to the success of the Company as measured by the accomplishment of specific performance objectives;
	•		ensure that a significant proportion of compensation is at risk and directly linked to the success of the Company; and
	•		provide for health care, disability and life insurance benefits.

The Committee believes that compensation packages for the Company’s executives must be designed to attract and retain executives critical to the success of the Company; ensure that executive compensation is linked to both individual and corporate performance; and focus executives on business factors that impact shareholder value. Compensation for the NEOs for the year ended December 31, 2008 consisted of three main components: (i) base salary; (ii) annual performance incentives; and (iii) stock options.

Base Salaries

Base salary reflects annual compensation received by an executive for the position they hold and the role they perform within the Company. The objective of the base salary, consistent with market practice, is to provide a portion of compensation as a fixed cash amount. Base salaries are intended to attract and retain talented executives and to reflect the skill and level of responsibility of an executive, taking into account market conditions and salaries paid by the Company’s competitors. Base salaries are targeted at median market values and balanced with relative roles and responsibilities within the Company. The relative base salary of executive officers reflects their experience and the accountability of their respective roles and the incumbent’s performance in such roles. Base salaries are benchmarked externally against comparable roles in peer companies and internally against similar roles. Salaries are then adjusted depending on a NEOs past performance, experience, individual qualifications, promotion or other change in responsibilities, expected future contributions to the Company and current market competitiveness.

Annual Performance Incentives

The Company’s annual performance incentives are designed to reinforce the Company’s business strategy as approved by the Board. The objective of awarding annual performance incentives, consistent with market practice, is to provide a component of compensation that rewards near term performance results of the Company as a whole. Such incentives focus attention on the achievement of short-term profitability with lesser emphasis on revenues. The annual performance incentives provide executives with the opportunity to earn cash incentives based on the achievement of pre-established individual performance objectives. Awards vary as a percentage of base salary and incentive targets for all levels are reviewed periodically to ensure ongoing market competitiveness. Performance objectives are based on the Company’s business plan for the fiscal year as approved by the Board and are intended to be challenging but achievable.

Annual performance incentives, which were paid to the NEOs in 2009 for the year ended December 31, 2008, reflect the satisfaction of individual targets set at the beginning of the fiscal period. Annual performance incentives are an important component of the total compensation received by a NEO, primarily because they provide the NEO with an annual financial reward based on the achievement of specific goals. Annual performance incentives are designed to achieve three important objectives:

	•		to motivate and reward eligible executives who contribute to successfully achieving Company goals;
	•		to provide executives with a competitive total compensation package; and
	•		to attract and retain talented executives.

Option-Based Awards

The Company has an incentive stock option plan (the “Option Plan”). Options granted to executive officers are granted pursuant to the terms of the Option Plan. Grants of stock options to executive officers are made based on the executive’s contribution to the achievement of the Company’s goals, taking into account the executive’s existing level of equity incentives. In determining whether to grant new options to the executive officers, the Board takes into account previous grants of option-based awards.

Proposed Changes to Executive Compensation for 2009

In 2008, the Compensation Committee retained the services of an international compensation consultant to advise the Compensation Committee on future NEO compensation and incentive plan objectives for executive

compensation. One of the services provided by the consultant was to assist with the redesign of the Company’s executive compensation program. As a result, the Compensation Committee has recommended that certain changes be made with respect to executive compensation for fiscal year 2009. One of the changes that has been recommended by the Committee is the establishment of a uniform compensation program, based on industry comparatives, which was developed by the Committee in consultation with the compensation consultant. In connection with the establishment of the uniform compensation program, the Company will enter into formal employment agreements with NEOs that will replace the more informal employment offer letters that, to date, have governed the terms of the compensation of the respective NEOs. In addition, the Committee has recommended that the Company’s executive incentive program be changed from an equity-based program to a cash-based program. The new executive incentive program will consist of short-term, operational and strategic targets, established by the Company, against which NEOs incentive compensation will be determined. Once the new incentive plan is implemented, stock options previously granted to executives under the old Option Plan (as defined herein) will be cancelled. It is expected that, once implemented, many of these changes will be effective as of January 1, 2009, however, although they have been recommended by the Compensation Committee and accepted by the respective executives, the changes have not yet been approved by the Board.

Performance Graph

The following chart compares a $100 investment in the Common Shares with the Russell 2000 Index over the Company’s five most recently completed financial years, assuming that the $100 investment was made on January 1, 2004. The chart portrays total nominal return for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004 through 2008, assuming the reinvestment of dividends.

				1/1/04					31/12/04					31/12/05					31/12/06					31/12/07					31/12/08
	KHD Humboldt Wedag International Ltd.			$	100				$	108.58				$	120.25				$	217.59				$	162.76				$	60.64

During the fourth quarter of 2008, the worldwide economic crisis began to negatively impact the Company’s business and the performance of the Common Shares. Accordingly, restructuring was required to quickly adapt to the rapidly changing market conditions.

The Common Share price was negatively affected by the economic crisis. The trend shown by the performance graph above represents a general increase in value until 2007 and a sharp decline in shareholder value in 2008 that has continued into 2009. This trend in the price of the Common Shares and the Russell 2000 Index does not reflect the trend in the Company’s compensation over the same period, which continued to rise upwards despite the decrease in the price of the Common Shares in the last quarter of 2008.

As described above, the Compensation Committee considers various factors in determining the compensation of the NEOs. The Compensation Committee does not consider the price of the Common Shares to be a strong indicator of performance. The trend of the performance graph was not a factor in the Compensation Committee’s evaluation of

NEO compensation in 2008 due to the unusual and negative impacts of the world financial crisis on the Russell 2000 and the price of the Common Shares.

Option-Based Awards

Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s Option Plan, the Option Plan is to be administered by a plan committee, or if no such committee has been authorized or appointed, by the Board itself. As the Company has no plan committee, the Board administers and implements the Option Plan and recommends changes or additions to the Option Plan. The Compensation Committee assists the Board in these respects. The Board determines all stock options to be granted pursuant to the Option Plan, the exercise price therefore and any special terms or vesting provisions applicable thereto. When determining whether to grant new options to executive officers, the Board takes into account previous grants of option-based awards. For a summary of the material provisions of the Option Plan, please see below under the heading “Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans — Option Plan”.

At the Company’s annual and special meeting of the Shareholders held in September, 2008, the Shareholders passed a resolution approving the Company’s 2008 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”). Subject to the terms of the Incentive Plan, a committee, as appointed by the Board, may grant awards under the Incentive Plan, establish the terms and conditions for those awards, construe and interpret the Incentive Plan and establish the rules for the Incentive Plan’s administration. The committee may grant nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, stock unit awards, stock awards, performance stock awards and tax bonus awards under the Incentive Plan. The maximum number of Common Shares that may be issuable pursuant to all awards granted under the Incentive Plan is 1,500,000 Common Shares. As of the date of this Management Information Circular, no awards have been issued pursuant to the Incentive Plan. For a summary of the material provisions of the Incentive Plan, please see below under the heading “Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans — Incentive Plan”.

Option Plan

The Option Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options to purchase Common Shares to the Company’s directors, officers and key employees and other persons providing ongoing services to the Company. The Option Plan is administered by the Board. The maximum number of Common Shares which may be reserved and set aside for issuance under the Option Plan is 5,524,000. Each option upon its exercise entitles the grantee to purchase one Common Share. The exercise price of an option may not be less than the closing market price of the Common Shares on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. on the day prior to the date of grant of the option. In the event the Common Shares are not traded on such day, the exercise price may not be less than the average of the closing bid and ask prices of the Common Shares on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. for the ten trading days immediately prior to the date the option is granted. Options may be granted under the Option Plan for an exercise period of up to ten years from the date of grant of the option. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company granted: (i) stock options to two employees to purchase up to 42,500 Common Shares at $30.89 per share, on or before May 15, 2018; (ii) stock options to eight employees to purchase up to 316,662 Common Shares at $31.81 per share, on or before May 19, 2018; and (iii) stock options to two employees to purchase up to 66,664 Common Shares at $31.53 per share, on or before June 30, 2018.

Subsequent to December 31, 2008, 847,778 options were terminated as a result of employees ceasing employment with the Company. There are 731,942 options outstanding as of September 25, 2009. The number of options available for grant under the Option Plan was 1,025,402 as at September 25, 2009.

Incentive Plan

At the Company’s annual and special meeting of the Shareholders held in September, 2008, the Shareholders passed a resolution approving the Incentive Plan.

The committee may grant nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, stock unit awards, stock awards, performance stock awards and tax bonus awards (each, an “Award”) under the Incentive Plan. Awards may be granted to employees, directors, officers or consultants of the Company or any affiliate or any person to whom an offer of employment with the Company or any affiliate is extended. The Committee has the authority to determine which employees, directors, officers, consultants and prospective employees should receive

Awards. Non-employee directors and consultants may not receive incentive stock options. The maximum number of Common Shares that may be issuable pursuant to all Awards granted under the Incentive Plan is 1,500,000 Common Shares.

For more information, please see the section entitled “Settlement of Investment in Preferred Shares of Mass Financial and its Former Subsidiary” in the Company’s MD&A for the period ended June 30, 2009 that was filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) on August 13, 2009.

MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS

Except as otherwise disclosed herein, no management functions of the Company are performed to any substantial degree by a person other than the directors or executive officers of the Company.

In January, 2006, the Company transferred to Mass Financial Corp.

Mass was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company until January 31, 2006. As Mass, by and through its officers, employees, agents, representatives and affiliates, has expertise in the areas of corporate management, finance, investment, acquisitions and other matters related to the operation of such assets, the Company engaged Mass to perform management services for the Company in connection with certain assets, including the royalty interest in an iron ore mine. Pursuant to a Management Services Agreement, dated February 1, 2006, between the Company and Mass, as compensation for providing management services in connection with the review, supervision and monitoring of the royalty from the iron ore mine, the Company has agreed to pay to Mass 8% of the royalty income (net of all mining and related taxes) received in connection with the iron ore mine operations. From January 1, 2008 to August 31, 2009, the total amount paid or payable to Mass for management services in connection with the royalty interest was $2.0 million.

In March, 2006, the Company entered into a General Management Services Agreement with Mass, pursuant to which the Company engaged Mass to provide consulting services in Asia and to provide general management and office support services. The agreement is for an indefinite term and may be terminated by either party on six months notice. The Company paid Mass $344,000 per year for these management services. From January 1, 2008 to August 31, 2009, the total amount paid or payable to Mass was $5.7 million, which included reimbursement of expenses of $2.2 million.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Effective July 15, 2005, the Company formed a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee currently consists of Silke Stenger, Dr. Shuming Zhao and Indrajit Chatterjee, all of whom are non-employee directors of the Company and are independent as that term is used in Section 303A.02 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual. The primary function of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is to assist the Board in developing the Company’s approach to corporate governance issues and monitoring performance against the defined approach. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is also responsible for the nomination of directors by identifying and reporting on candidates to be nominated to the Board. The Board adopted a charter for the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee on October 21, 2004, a copy of which was filed with the Company’s Information Circular that was filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) on July 3, 2007.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not currently have a policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by the Shareholders. The Board does not believe that it is necessary to have a policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by Shareholders as any such candidates can be appropriately evaluated by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. However, the Company encourages Shareholders to recommend candidates directly to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee by sending communications to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of KHD Humboldt Wedag International Ltd., Suite 1620, 400 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada V6C 3A6.

EXHIBIT 1
TO SCHEDULE A

KHD HUMBOLDT WEDAG INTERNATIONAL LTD.
(the “Company”)

Code of Ethics for the Senior Executive Officers and Senior Financial Officers
(the “Code”)

This Code applies to the Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Principal Executive Officer, Principal Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer, Controller, persons performing similar functions within the Company and other officers and persons of the Company and its subsidiaries with exposed and prominent functions in connection with the reports filed by the Company with the S.E.C. (the “Senior Officers”). A list of persons with such functions is prepared on an annual basis and confirmed by the Audit Committee. This Code covers a wide range of business practices and procedures. It does not cover every issue that may arise, but it sets out basic principles to guide all Senior Officers of the Company. All Senior Officers should conduct themselves accordingly and seek to avoid the appearance of improper behaviour in any way relating to the Company.

This code is in addition to the Company’s Code of Conduct which sets forth fundamental principles of business ethics for all employees.

Any Senior Officer who has any questions about the Code should consult with the Chief Executive Officer, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) or the Company’s audit committee (the “Audit Committee”).

The Company has adopted the Code for the purpose of promoting:

	•		honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;
	•		full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in all reports and documents that the Company files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in other public communications made by the Company that are within the Senior Officer’s area of responsibility;
	•		compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;
	•		the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code; and
	•		accountability for adherence to the Code.

HONEST AND ETHICAL CONDUCT

Each Senior Officer owes a duty to the Company to act with integrity. Integrity requires, among other things, being honest and candid. Senior Officers must adhere to a high standard of business ethics and are expected to make decisions and take actions based on the best interests of the Company, as a whole, and not based on personal relationships or benefits. Generally, a “conflict of interest” occurs when a Senior Officer’s personal interests is, or appears to be, inconsistent with, interferes with or is opposed to the best interests of the Company or gives the appearance of impropriety.

Examples of clear conflict of interest situations that should always be raised with the chairperson of the Audit Committee include the following:

	•		any significant ownership interest in any supplier or customer;
	•		any consulting or employment relationship with any supplier, customer or competitor;

	•		any outside business activity that detracts from a Senior Officer’s ability to devote appropriate time and attention to his or her responsibilities within the Company;
	•		the receipt of not insignificant gifts from any company or person with which the Company have current or prospective business dealing;
	•		being in the position of supervising, reviewing or having any influence on the job evaluation, pay or benefit of any immediate family member of a Senior Officer; and
	•		selling anything to or buying anything from the Company, except on the same terms and conditions as comparable officers or directors are permitted to buy or sell.

Business decisions and actions must be made in the best interests of the Company and should not be influenced by personal considerations or relationships. Relationships with the Company’s stakeholders — for example suppliers, competitors and customers — should not in any way affect a Senior Officer’s responsibility and accountability to the Company. Conflicts of interest can also arise when a member of a Senior Officer’s family receives improper gifts, entertainment or benefits as a result of the Senior Officer’s position in the Company.

Specifically, each Senior Officer must:

	1.		act with integrity, including being honest and candid while still maintaining the confidentiality of information when required or consistent with the Company’s policies;
	2.		avoid violations of the Code, including actual or apparent conflicts of interest with the Company in personal and professional relationships;
	3.		disclose to the Board or the Audit Committee any material transaction or relationship that could reasonably be expected to give rise to a breach of the Code, including actual or apparent conflicts of interest with the Company;
	4.		obtain approval from the Board or Audit Committee before making any decisions or taking any action that could reasonably be expected to involve a conflict of interest or the appearance of a conflict of interest;
	5.		observe both the form and spirit of laws and governmental rules and regulations, accounting standards and Company policies;
	6.		maintain a high standard of accuracy and completeness in the Company’s financial records;
	7.		ensure full, fair, timely, accurate and understandable disclosure in the Company’s periodic reports;
	8.		report any violations of the Code to the Board or Audit Committee;
	9.		proactively promote ethical behaviour among peers in his or her work environment; and
	10.		maintain the skills appropriate and necessary for the performance of his or her duties.

DISCLOSURE OF COMPANY INFORMATION

As a result of the Company’s status as a public company, it is required to file periodic and other reports with the SEC. The Company takes its public disclosure responsibility seriously to ensure that these reports furnish the marketplace with full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure regarding the financial and business condition of the Company. All disclosures contained in reports and documents filed with or submitted to the SEC, or other government agencies, on behalf of the Company or contained in other public communications made by the Company must be complete and correct in all material respects and understandable to the intended recipient.

The Senior Officers, in relation to his or her area of responsibility, must be committed to providing timely, consistent and accurate information, in compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements. It is imperative that this disclosure be accomplished consistently during both good times and bad and that all parties in the marketplace have equal or similar access to this information.

All of the Company’s books, records, accounts and financial statements must be maintained in reasonable detail, must appropriately reflect the Company’s transactions, and must conform both to applicable legal requirements and to the Company’s system of internal controls. Unrecorded or “off the book” funds, assets or liabilities should not be maintained unless permitted by applicable law or regulation. Senior Officers involved in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements must prepare those statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, and any other applicable accounting standards and rules so that the financial statements materially, fairly and completely reflect the business transactions and financial statements and related condition of the Company. Further, it is important that financial statements and related disclosures be free of material errors.

Specifically, each Senior Officer must:

	1.		familiarize himself or herself with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to the Company;
	2.		not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Company to others, including the Company’s independent auditors, governmental regulators, self-regulating organizations and other governmental officials;
	3.		to the extent that he or she participates in the creation of the Company’s books and records, promote the accuracy, fairness and timeliness of those records; and
	4.		in relation to his or her area of responsibility, properly review and critically analyse proposed disclosure for accuracy and completeness.

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

Senior Officers, directors and employees must maintain the confidentiality of confidential information entrusted to them by the Company of its customers, suppliers, joint venture partners, or others with whom the Company is considering a business or other transaction except when disclosure is authorized by an executive officer or required or mandated by laws or regulations. Confidential information includes all non-public information that might be useful or helpful to competitors or harmful to the Company or its customers or suppliers, if disclosed. It also includes information that suppliers, customers and other parties have entrusted to the Company. The obligation to preserve confidential information continues even after employment ends.

Records containing personal data about employees or private information about customers and their employees are confidential. They are to be carefully safeguarded, kept current, relevant and accurate. They may be disclosed only to authorized personnel or as required by law.

All inquiries regarding the Company from non-employees, such as financial analysts and journalists, should be directed to the Board or the Audit Committee. The Company’s policy is to cooperate with every reasonable request of government investigators for information. At the same time, the Company is entitled to all the safeguards provided by law for the benefit of persons under investigation or accused of wrongdoing, including legal representation. If a representative of any government or government agency seeks an interview or requests access to data or documents for the purposes of an investigation, the Senior Officer should refer the representative to the Board or the Audit Committee. Senior Officers also should preserve all materials, including documents and e-mails that might relate to any pending or reasonably possible investigation.

COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

The Senior Officers must respect and obey all applicable foreign, federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations applicable to the business and operations of the Company. Senior Officers who have access to, or knowledge of, material nonpublic information from or about the Company are prohibited from buying, selling or otherwise trading in the Company’s stock or other securities. “Material nonpublic” information includes any information, positive or negative, that has not yet been made available or disclosed to the public and that might be of significance to an investor, as part of the total mix of information, in deciding whether to buy or sell stock or other securities.

Senior Officers also are prohibited from giving “tips” on material nonpublic information, that is directly or indirectly disclosing such information to any other person, including family members, other relatives and friends, so that they may trade in the Company’s stock or other securities.

Furthermore, if, during the course of a Senior Officer’s service with the Company, he or she acquires material nonpublic information about another company, such as one of our customers or suppliers, or learns that the Company is planning a major transaction with another company (such as an acquisition), the Senior Officer is restricted from trading in the securities of the other company.

REPORTING ACTUAL AND POTENTIAL VIOLATIONS OF THE CODE AND ACCOUNTABILITY FOR COMPLIANCE WITH THE CODE

The Company, through the Board or the Audit Committee, is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions may arise and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation. This Code is not intended to provide a comprehensive guideline for Senior Officers in relation to their business activities with the Company. Any Senior Officer may seek clarification on the application of this Code from the Board or the Audit Committee.

Each Senior Officer must:

	1.		notify the Company of any existing or potential violation of this Code, and failure to do so is itself a breach of the Code; and
	2.		not retaliate, directly or indirectly, or encourage others to do so, against any employee or Senior Officer for reports, made in good faith, of any misconduct or violations of the Code solely because that employee or Senior Officer raised a legitimate ethical issue.

The Board or the Audit Committee will take all action it considers appropriate to investigate any breach of the Code reported to it. All Senior Officers, directors and employees are required to cooperate fully with any such investigation and to provide truthful and accurate information. If the Board or the Audit Committee determines that a breach has occurred, it will take or authorize disciplinary or preventative action as it deems appropriate, after consultation with the Company’s counsel if warranted, up to and including termination of employment. Where appropriate, the Company will not limit itself to disciplinary action but may pursue legal action against the offending Senior Officer involved. In some cases, the Company may have a legal or ethical obligation to call violations to the attention of appropriate enforcement authorities.

Compliance with the Code may be monitored by audits performed by the Board, the Audit Committee, the Company’s counsel and/or by the Company’s outside auditors. All Senior Officers, directors and employees are required to cooperate fully with any such audits and to provide truthful and accurate information.

Any waiver of this Code for any Senior Officer or director may be made only by the Board or the Audit Committee and will be promptly disclosed to stockholders and others, as required by applicable law. The Company must disclose changes to and waivers of the Code in accordance with applicable law.

SCHEDULE B

AUDIT COMMITTEE DISCLOSURE

1.		The Audit Committee’s Charter
I.		Purpose of Audit Committee of KHD Humboldt Wedag International Ltd. (the “Corporation”)

The purpose of the Audit Committee (the “Committee”) is to:

1.

Assist the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities relating to:

	(i)		the quality and integrity of the Corporation’s financial statements, financial reporting process and systems of internal controls and disclosure controls regarding risk management, finance, accounting, and legal and regulatory compliance;
	(ii)		the independence and qualifications of the Corporation’s independent accountants and review of the audit efforts of the Corporation’s independent accountants and internal auditing department; and
	(iii)		the development and implementation of policies and processes regarding corporate governance matters.

3.		Prepare the report required to be prepared by the Committee pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for inclusion in the Corporation’s annual proxy statement.

The Committee will primarily fulfill these responsibilities by carrying out the activities enumerated in Section VII below of this Charter.

While the Committee has the responsibilities and powers set forth in this Charter, it is not the duty of the Committee to plan or conduct audits, or to determine that the Corporation’s financial statements are complete and accurate or are in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, accounting standards, or applicable laws and regulations. This is the responsibility of management of the Corporation. Because the primary function of the Committee is oversight, the Committee shall be entitled to rely on the expertise, skills and knowledge of management, the internal auditing department, and the Corporation’s independent accountants and the integrity and accuracy of information provided to the Committee by such persons in carrying out its oversight responsibilities. Nothing in this Charter is intended to change the responsibilities of management and the independent accountants.

II.

Composition

The Committee shall be composed of at least three directors, each of whom shall, in the judgment of the Board, meet (i) the independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “1934 Act”) and any other rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder; and (ii) the independence requirements of the rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Nasdaq Rules”) for audit committee members as in effect from time to time. One or more members of the Committee shall be, in the judgment of the Board, an “audit committee financial expert,” as such term is defined in Rule 309 of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder, and be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including the Corporation’s balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement as required by the Nasdaq rules.

III.

Authority

The Committee shall have the authority to (i) retain (at the Corporation’s expense) its own legal counsel, accountants and other consultants that the Committee believes, in its sole discretion, are needed to carry out its duties and responsibilities; (ii) conduct investigations that it believes, in its sole discretion, are necessary to carry out its responsibilities; and (iii) take whatever actions that it deems appropriate to foster an internal culture that is committed to maintaining quality financial reporting, sound business risk practices and ethical behaviour within the Corporation. In addition, the Committee shall have the authority to request any officer, director or employee of the Corporation, the Corporation’s outside legal counsel and the independent accountants to meet with the Committee and any of its advisors and to respond to their inquiries. The Committee shall have full access to the books, records and facilities of the Corporation in carrying out its responsibilities.
