The Units will be subject to a four-month hold period commencing on the closing date of the Offering pursuant to National Instrument 45-102 – Resale of Securities. The Common Shares, Warrants and shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are “restricted securities” under US securities laws and may not be resold except pursuant to an exemption from the US registration requirements.

Related Party Disclosure

The issuance of 1,583,333 Units under the Offering to Brad Wells constituted a “related party transaction” pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company is exempt from the formal valuation requirement and the minority shareholder approval requirement of MI 61-101 in connection with the insider participation in reliance on sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as the aggregate value of the insider participation does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company. The Company did not file a material change report in respect of the Offering at least 21 days before the closing of the Offering, which the Company deems reasonable in the circumstances in order to complete the Offering in an expeditious manner.
