In connection with the Transaction, Danavation completed a private placement of subscription receipts (each a “Subscription Receipt“) on December 10, 2020, led by Beacon Securities Limited and Echelon Wealth Partners Inc.

The gross proceeds of the Offering less certain expenses of the Agents and other commissions (the “Escrowed Proceeds“) were held in escrow on behalf of the subscribers for the Subscription Receipts by Computershare Trust Company of Canada (the “Escrow Agent“), pursuant to the terms of a subscription receipt agreement (the “Subscription Receipt Agreement“) entered into on December 10, 2020 among Danavation, the Co-Lead Agents and the Escrow Agent. As part of the completion of the Transaction, Danavation and the Co-Agents delivered a joint notice to the Escrow Agent on January 8, 2021 confirming satisfaction of the applicable escrow release conditions, at which time each Subscription Receipt was automatically converted into one unit (a “Unit“) of the Company, and the Escrowed Proceeds were released to Danavation. Each Unit is comprised of one common share of the Company (each, a “Unit Share“) and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole common share purchase warrant, a “Warrant“). Each Warrant is exercisable by the holder thereof for one common share of the Company (each, a “Warrant Share“) until January 8, 2023 at an exercise price of $0.35 per Warrant Share, subject to adjustments in certain events.
