Each Unit Subscription Receipt will be automatically exercised into one unit of the Company (each, a “Unit”) upon completion of the Transaction, whereby each Unit will consist of one Common Share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole common share purchase warrant, a “Warrant”), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one additional Common Share (each, a “Warrant Share”) at a price of $0.60 until May 3, 2027.

Certain insiders acquired an aggregate of 50,000 Share Subscription Receipts and 22,222 Unit Subscription Receipts, and as such the Private Placement is considered a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (“MI 61-101”).

The Company will file a material change report in respect of the Private Placement. However, the Company did not file a material change report 21 days prior to closing of the Private Placement as the participation of insiders of the Company in the Private Placement had not been confirmed at that time.

Completion of the Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to, the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE“) and shareholder approval.

The CSE has in no way passed upon the merits of the proposed Transaction and has neither approved nor disapproved the contents of this news release.
