In connection with the Offering, the Company paid aggregate cash finder’s fees of $107,570.39 to certain finders. All securities issued under the Offering are subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance.

Article content

The Offering constitutes a “related party transaction” within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”) as two directors of the Company subscribed for an aggregate of 400,000 Shares for gross proceeds of $104,000. The Company relied on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as the fair market value of the consideration for the securities issued to the related parties did not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization. The Company did not file a material change report in respect of the insiders’ participation at least 21 days before closing of the Offering because such participation had not been determined at that time.
