Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a “Common Share”) and one common share purchase warrant (each, a “Warrant”), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share for a period of two years from the applicable closing date of the Offering at an exercise price of $0.18 per share.

All securities issued under the Offering are subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day from the applicable closing date of the Offering.
As consideration for the services of certain finders, the Company paid an aggregate cash commission of $120,240 and issued an aggregate of 989,999 finder options (the “Finder Options”). Each Finder Option is exercisable at a price of $0.12 and entitles the holder to acquire one Common Share and one common share purchase warrant (each, a “Finder Warrant”). Each Finder Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Common Share (each, a “Finder Warrant Share”) at a price per Finder Warrant Share of $0.18 per share for a period of 24 months from the closing of the Offering.
Insiders of the Company subscribed for an aggregate of 125,000 Units under the Offering. Each transaction with an insider of the Company constitutes a “related party transaction” within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company is relying on exemptions from the formal valuation requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to section 5.5(a) and the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to section 5.7(1)(a) in respect of such insider participation as the fair market value of the transaction, insofar as it involves interested parties, does not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.
