Additional details on the financing are outlined below:

The convertible debenture financing takes the form of a private placement offering (the "Offering") in the aggregate principal amount of up to $2,200,000 of unsecured convertible debentures (each, a "Debenture") at a price of $1,000 per Debenture. In this initial tranche of the Offering, gross proceeds of approximately $1.41M were subscribed for. Additionally, the Company has indications of interest for an incremental amount of $0.79M , expected to be completed in one or more additional tranches to be announced in due course.

The Debentures bear interest from the applicable issuance date at 14% per annum until the date that is 36 months following the closing date (the "Maturity Date"). The principal amount of the Debentures will be convertible into units of the Company (the "Units") at the option of the holder at any time prior to the close of business on the last business day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, at a conversion price of $0.10 per Unit (the "Conversion Price"), subject to adjustment in certain events.

Each Unit is comprised of: (i) one common share of the Company (each, a "Common Share"); and (ii) one half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will be exercisable to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.15 per Common Share, subject to adjustment in certain events, until the Maturity Date; provided however, the Company will have the right to accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to a date which is not less than 21 days after the date on which a written notice is provided to the holders of Warrants if the daily volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares is greater than $0.25 (subject to adjustment in certain events) for any 10 consecutive trading days on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV").

Beginning on the date that is one year following the closing date, but subject to receipt of any required approvals, the Company may force the conversion of all of the principal amount of the then outstanding Debentures at the Conversion Price on not less than 21 days' notice should the daily volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares be greater than $0.25 (subject to adjustment in certain events) for any 10 consecutive trading days on the TSXV.

Certain directors and officers of the Company (collectively, the "Insiders") participated in the Offering in the aggregate amount of $319,000, and, as such, the Offering constitutes a related party transaction under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), but is otherwise exempt from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 by virtue Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of such Insider participation. No special committee was established in connection with the Offering or the participation of the Insiders, and no materially contrary view or abstention was expressed or made by any director of the Company in relation thereto. Further details will be included in a material change report that will be filed by the Company in connection with the completion of the initial closing of the Offering. Closing of the participation of Insiders in the Offering remains subject to the approval of the TSXV.

Fees of $5,740 and 22,400 broker warrants at a price of $0.06 were paid as finders fees for this transaction.

The net proceeds received by the Company will be used for working capital purposes. The closing of the Offering is subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including the approval of the TSXV. All securities issued under the Offering remain subject to a statutory four month hold period.

Lastly, Clear Blue has entered into debt settlement agreements with a consultant of the Company to settle indebtedness of $132,200 in exchange for the issuance of 2,203,333 warrants of the company, convertible to equal number of common shares at a price per share of $0.06, thereby allowing the Company to preserve cash and improve its balance sheet.
