PROXY STATEMENT

2015 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

May 13, 2015

Introduction

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors of IntelGenx Technologies Corp. (the “Company”) for use at the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on May 13, 2015, and at any adjournment thereof (the “Meeting”). Further, solicitation of proxies may be made personally, or facsimile, by regularly employed officers and other employees of the Company, who will receive no additional compensation for such.

Only shareholders of record (each a “Shareholder” and collectively, the “Shareholders”) at the close of business on March 20, 2015 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to vote at the Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were issued and outstanding 63,465,256 shares of the Company's common stock (the “Common Stock”). Each outstanding share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote on all matters properly coming before the Meeting. All properly executed, unrevoked proxies on the enclosed form of proxy that are received in time will be voted in accordance with the Shareholder's directions and, unless contrary directions are given, will be voted for the proposals (each a “Proposal” and collectively the “Proposals”) described herein. Anyone giving a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by giving the board of directors of the Company written notice of the revocation, by submitting a proxy bearing a later date or by attending the Meeting and voting in person.

The presence in person or by properly executed proxy of holders representing a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock entitled to vote is necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting. Assuming a quorum is present at the Meeting, approval of each of the two proposals presented herein requires the vote of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present or represented by proxy and voting at the Meeting. Votes cast by proxyor in person at the Meeting will be tabulated by the Secretary of the Company who will act as inspector of elections and who will determine whether or not a quorum is present. Shares of Common Stock represented by proxies that are marked “abstain” will be included in the determination of the number of shares present and voting for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business. Abstentions are not counted as voted either for or against a Proposal.

The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) has adopted and approved each of the Proposals set forth herein and recommends that the Company's Shareholders vote “FOR” each of the Proposals.

Copies of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 (the “2014 Fiscal Year”) including the audited financial statements set forth therein, which are incorporated by reference into this Proxy Statement and made a part hereof, are being mailed or sent electronically concurrently herewith to all Shareholders of record at the close of business on March 20, 2015.

This Proxy Statement, the accompanying Notice of Meeting and the form of proxy have been first mailed to the Shareholders on or about March 31, 2015.

The date of this Proxy Statement is March 26, 2015.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MEETING AND VOTING

1. WHAT IS A PROXY?

It is your legal designation of another person to vote the stock that you own. That other person is called a proxy. If you designate someone as your proxy in a written document, that document also is called a proxy or a proxy card. Dr. Horst Zerbe, our President and Chief Executive Officer, has been designated as a proxy for the 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

2. WHAT IS THE RECORD DATE AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

The record date for the 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders is March 20, 2015. The record date is established by the Company as required by Delaware law and our By-laws. Shareholders of record (registered shareholders and street name holders) at the close of business on the record date are entitled to:

  (a)

receive notice of the meeting; and

     
  (b)

vote at the meeting and any adjournments or postponements of the meeting.

3. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A REGISTERED SHAREHOLDER AND A SHAREHOLDER WHO HOLDS STOCK IN STREET NAME?

If your shares of stock are registered in your name on the books and records of our transfer agent, you are a registered shareholder.

If your shares of stock are held for you in the name of your broker or bank, your shares are held in street name. The answer to Question 12 describes brokers' discretionary voting authority and when your bank or broker is permitted to vote your shares of stock without instructions from you.

4. WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT METHODS THAT I CAN USE TO VOTE MY SHARES OF COMMON STOCK?

  (a)

Vote By Internet

     
 

All shareholders of record can vote by Internet as instructed on the proxy card.

     
  (b)

In Writing:

     
 

All shareholders of record can vote by mailing in their completed proxy card (in the case of registered shareholders) or their completed vote instruction form (in the case of street name holders).

     
  (c)

In Person:

     
 

All shareholders may vote in person at the meeting (unless they are street name holders without a legal proxy).

5. HOW CAN I REVOKE A PROXY?

You can revoke a proxy prior to the completion of voting at the meeting by:

  (a)

giving written notice to our Corporate Secretary;

     
  (b)

delivering a later-dated proxy; or

     
  (c)

voting in person at the meeting.

6. WHAT ARE THE VOTING CHOICES WHEN VOTING ON DIRECTOR NOMINEES, AND WHAT VOTE IS NEEDED TO ELECT DIRECTORS?

When voting on the election of director nominees to serve until the 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, shareholders may:

6



  (a)

vote in favor of a specific nominee; or

     
  (b)

withhold votes as to a specific nominee.

Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast. Our Board recommends a vote “FOR” all of the nominees.

7. WHAT ARE THE VOTING CHOICES WHEN VOTING ON THE RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF RICHTER LLP, AND WHAT VOTE IS NEEDED TO RATIFY ITS SELECTION?

When voting on the ratification of the selection of Richter LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, shareholders may:

  (a)

vote in favor of the ratification;

     
  (b)

vote against the ratification; or

     
  (c)

abstain from voting on the ratification.

The selection of the independent registered public accounting firm will be ratified if the votes cast “FOR” are a majority of the votes present at the meeting. The Board recommends a vote “FOR” this proposal.

8. WHAT IF A SHAREHOLDER DOES NOT SPECIFY A CHOICE FOR A MATTER WHEN RETURNING A PROXY?

Shareholders should specify their choice for each matter on the enclosed proxy. If no specific instructions are given, proxies which are signed and returned or submitted by e-mail will be voted FOR the election of all director nominees, and FOR the proposal to ratify the selection of Richter LLP.

9. WHO IS ENTITLED TO VOTE?

You may vote if you owned stock as of the close of business on March 20, 2015. Each share of our common stock is entitled to one (1) vote.

10. WHAT DOES IT MEAN IF I RECEIVE MORE THAN ONE PROXY CARD?

It means that your shares are registered differently or that you have multiple accounts with brokers or our transfer agent. Please vote all of these shares. We recommend that you contact your broker or our transfer agent to consolidate as many accounts as possible under the same name and address. Our transfer agent for the Proxy Service is Philadelphia Stock Transfer, Inc. 2320 Haverford Rd., Suite 230, Ardmore, PA 19003, Tel. 484-416-3124.

11. WILL MY SHARES BE VOTED IF I DO NOT PROVIDE MY PROXY?

If your shares are registered in your name, they will not be voted unless you submit your proxy card, or vote in person at the meeting. If your shares are held in street name, your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee, under some circumstances, may vote your shares.

Brokerage firms, banks and other nominees may vote customers' un-voted shares on “routine” matters. Generally, a broker may not vote a customer's un-voted shares on non-routine matters without instructions from the customer and must instead submit a “broker non-vote.” A broker non-vote is counted toward the shares needed for a quorum, but it is not counted in determining whether a matter has been approved. At the meeting, the election of directors is a non-routine matter and the verification of the auditors is a routine matter.

12. ARE ABSTENTIONS AND BROKER NON-VOTES COUNTED?

Broker non-votes will not be included in vote totals and will not affect the outcome of the vote for directors. In matters other than the elections of directors, abstentions and broker non-votes have the effect of votes against a proposal in tabulations of the votes cast on proposals presented to shareholders.

7


13. HOW MANY VOTES MUST BE PRESENT TO HOLD THE MEETING?

To hold the meeting and conduct business, one-third of our outstanding voting shares as of March 20, 2015 must be present or represented by proxy at the meeting. On this date, a total of 63,465,256 shares of our common stock were outstanding and entitled to vote. Shares representing one-third must be present. This is called a quorum.

Votes are counted as present at the meeting if the shareholder either:

  (a)

Is present and votes in person at the meeting; or

     
  (b)

Has properly voted by Internet or submitted a proxy card.

14. WHERE CAN I FIND THE VOTING RESULTS OF THE ANNUAL MEETING?

We will announce preliminary voting results at the annual meeting and publish final results on a current report filed on Form 8-K within four business days of the end of the meeting.

15. UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES WOULD THE ANNUAL MEETING BE ADJOURNED?

The annual meeting may be adjourned in the absence of a quorum for the purpose of obtaining a quorum.

Any adjournment may be made without notice, other than by an announcement made at the annual meeting, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting shares present in person or by properly executed proxy at the annual meeting.

16. WHO CAN HELP ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board Leadership Structure

The Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the business and affairs of the Company. Members of the Board are kept informed of our business through discussions with the Chief Executive Officer and other officers, by reviewing materials provided to them and by participating in regular quarterly and special meetings of the Board and its committees.

The Charter of the Board of Directors is posted on our website at http://www.intelgenx.com.

The Board is currently comprised of Dr. Horst G. Zerbe, who serves as our Chairman and four independent directors. Dr. Zerbe is also our President and Chief Executive Officer. We believe that the Company, like many U.S. companies, is currently best served by having one person serve as both Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. The Board believes that through this leadership structure, Dr. Zerbe is able to draw on his intimate knowledge of the daily operations of the Company and its relationships with partners, customers and employees to provide the Board with leadership in setting its agenda and properly focusing its discussions. As the individual with primary responsibility for managing our day-to-day operations, Dr. Zerbe is also best-positioned to chair regular Board meetings and ensure that key business issues are brought to the Board’s attention. The combined role as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer also ensures that the Company presents its message and strategy to shareholders, partners, customers, employees and other stakeholders with a unified, single voice.

13


In 2014 the Board created the position of Vice Chairman, who serves as the independent Lead Director. The role of Lead Director is to facilitate the functioning of the Board, to help ensure that appropriate processes are followed, to assist in fostering and seeking input of independent directors, and to ensure independent director participation in all Board decisions.

The Lead Director ensures that the Board’s relationship with management functions effectively and furthers the best interest of the Corporation, including working with the committees appointed by the Board to ensure they have the proper structure and appropriate assignments. The Lead Director also regularly communicates with the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer so that he is aware of any concern of the independent directors and any concerns communicated by our shareholders. The role and responsibilities of the Lead Director are in addition to and distinct from the role of the chair of each of the committees of the Board.

The mandate of the Vice Chair (Lead Director) is posted on our website at http://www.intelgenx.com.

Independence of Members of the Board of Directors

Audit Committee. Our Audit Committee is comprised of independent members of our Board of Directors and is currently composed of Bernd Melchers, J. Bernard Boudreau and John Marinucci. The Audit Committee held four meetings during our 2014 Fiscal Year.

Our Audit Committee assists our board of directors in fulfilling its responsibilities for oversight and supervision of financial and accounting matters. The chairman of the Audit Committee is Mr. Bernd Melchers. Our Audit Committee’s responsibilities include, among others (i) recommending to the board of directors the engagement of the external auditor and the terms of the external auditor’s engagement; (ii) overseeing the work of the external auditor, including dispute resolution between management and the external auditor, if required; (iii) pre-approving all non-audit services to be provided to us by our external auditor; (iv) reviewing our financial statements, management’s discussion and analysis and annual and interim earnings press releases before this information is publicly disclosed; (v) assessing the adequacy of procedures for our public disclosure of financial information; (vi) establishing procedures to deal with complaints received by us relating to our accounting and auditing matters; and (vii) reviewing our hiring policies regarding employees of our external auditor or former auditor.

Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

Our management has responsibility for managing day-to-day risk and for bringing the most material risks facing the Company to the Board’s attention. The Board takes an active role in risk oversight related to the Company both as a full Board and through its committees. To facilitate the Board’s risk oversight responsibility, management provides the Board with information about its identification, assessment and management of critical risks and its risk mitigation strategies. This information is communicated to the Board and its committees at regular and special meetings, through reports, presentations and discussions with key management personnel and representatives of outside advisors, such as our independent auditors, as appropriate. During regular Audit Committee meetings, committee members discuss the financial results for the most recent fiscal quarter with the independent auditors, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer. The Audit Committee also meets with and provides instruction to the independent auditors outside the presence of management. These discussions allow the members of the Audit Committee to analyze any significant risks that could materially impact the financial health of our business.

The Compensation Committee oversees the company’s executive compensation arrangements, including the identification and management of risks that may arise from the Company’s compensation policies and practices.

Executive Compensation

The key objectives of the Company's executive compensation policies are to attract and retain key executives who are important to the long-term success of the Company and to provide incentives for these executives to achieve high levels of job performance and enhancement of shareholder value. The Company seeks to achieve these objectives by paying its executives a competitive level of base compensation for companies of similar size and industry and by providing its executives an opportunity for further reward for outstanding performance in both the short term and the long term.

Executive Officer Compensation. The Company's executive officer compensation program is comprised of three elements: base salary, annual cash bonus and long-term incentive compensation in the form of stock option grants.

Salary. The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors will review base salaries for the Company's executive officers, taking into account individual experience, job responsibility and individual performance during the prior year. These factors are not assigned a specific weight in establishing individual base salaries. The Compensation Committee will also consider the Company's executive officers' salaries relative to salary information for executives in similar industries and similarly sized companies.

Cash Bonuses. The purpose of the cash bonus component of the compensation program is to provide a direct financial incentive in the form of cash bonuses to executives. The cash bonus is paid on the base of individual and corporate performance.

Stock Options. Stock options are the primary vehicle for rewarding long-term achievement of Company goals. The objectives of the program are to align employee and shareholder long-term interests by creating a strong and direct link between compensation and increases in share value. Under the Company's Stock Option Plan, the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee may authorize the grant of options to purchase common stock of the Company to key employees of the Company. The options generally vest in increments over a period of two years established at the time of grant.

Nomination of Directors

We do not have a standing nominating committee and there is no written charter governing the nomination process. Nominations are made annually by our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors believes it is appropriate for the full Board of Directors to serve this function.

The Board’s process for identifying and evaluating potential nominees includes soliciting recommendations from directors and officers of the Company, holding meetings from time to time to evaluate biographical information and background materials relating to potential candidates and interviews with candidates. Additionally, the Board will consider persons recommended by shareholders of the Company in selecting the Board’s nominees for election.

16


In considering whether to nominate any particular candidate, our Board of Directors applies various criteria, including the candidate’s integrity, business acumen, knowledge of our business and industry, age, experience, diligence, the ability to act in the interests of all stockholders and any potential conflicts of interest. In addition to the foregoing criteria, our Board of Directors also considers diversity in its evaluation of candidates for board membership. Our Board of Directors believes that diversity with respect to viewpoint, skills and experience should be an important factor in board composition. Our Board of Directors does not assign specific weight to particular criteria, and no particular criterion is a prerequisite for each prospective nominee. Our Board of Directors believes that the backgrounds and qualifications of its directors, considered as a group, should provide a composite mix of experience, knowledge and abilities that will allow our Board of Directors to fulfill its responsibilities.

Stockholders may recommend individuals to our Board of Directors for consideration as potential director candidates by submitting their names, together with appropriate biographical information and background materials to our principal office, 6425 Abrams, Ville St.-Laurent, Quebec H4S 1X9, Attn: Corporate Secretary. Assuming that appropriate biographical and background material has been provided on a timely basis, our Board of Directors will evaluate stockholder-recommended candidates by following substantially the same process, and applying substantially the same criteria, as it follows for candidates submitted by others. If our Board of Directors determines to nominate a stockholder-recommended candidate and recommends his or her election, then his or her name will be included in our proxy card for the next annual meeting.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

None of our officers or directors have, during the last ten years: (i) been convicted in or is currently subject to a pending criminal proceeding; (ii) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to any federal or state securities or banking laws including, without limitation, in any way limiting involvement in any business activity, or finding any violation with respect to such law, nor (iii) has any bankruptcy petition been filed by or against the business of which such person was an executive officer or a general partner, whether at the time of the bankruptcy or for the two years prior thereto, other than Mr. Boudreau who was formerly the Vice President of Pharmeng International Inc. from 2005 to 2008, which since filed for bankruptcy on April 14, 2009. He was also a Director of Pharmeng until April 13, 2009.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires directors, officers and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file reports of ownership and change in ownership with the SEC. Directors, officers and greater than 10% shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely upon our review of the copies of such forms that we received during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, we believe that each person who at any time during the fiscal year was a director, officer, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of our common stock complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements during such fiscal year.

Communications with the Board

Any record or beneficial owner of the Company's common stock who wishes to communicate with the Board of Directors should contact the Chairman of the Board or the Chairman of the Audit Committee. If particular communications are directed to the full Board, independent directors as a group, or individual directors, the Chairman of the Board or the Chairman of the Audit Committee, as applicable, will route these communications to appropriate committees or directors if the intended recipients are clearly indicated.

17


Any record or beneficial owner of the Company's common stock who has concerns about the Company's accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters relating to the Company should also contact the Audit Committee.

Written communications should be addressed to IntelGenx Technologies Corp., 6425 Abrams, Ville St-Laurent, Quebec H4S 1X9, Canada, Attention: Chairman of the Board/Chairman of the Audit Committee. Communications that are intended to be anonymous should be sent to the same address but without indicating your name or address, and with an interior envelope addressed to the specific committees or directors you wish to communicate with.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to our directors and officers, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is posted on our website at http://www.intelgenx.com.

The following table sets forth, for each of the years indicated, the fees billed by our independent public accountants, Richter, LLP, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2014, and includes fees billed to our Canadian subsidiary, as well as fees for all necessary financial reviews in connection with our regulatory filings and the IntelGenx acquisition.

If our auditors indicated a desire to make a statement at our annual meeting, they would be permitted to do so.

This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, is a non-binding vote, but gives stockholders the opportunity to express their views on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of the named executive officers. The next advisory vote shall occur next year.

Accordingly, the following resolution is submitted for stockholder vote at the Meeting:

As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding on the Board of Directors. However, the Compensation Committee, which is responsible for designing and administering the Company’s executive compensation program, values the opinions expressed by stockholders in their vote on this proposal and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for named executive officers.

Shareholder Vote Required

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THIS PROPOSAL #3.
