This press release contains certain “forward-looking information” and “forward-looking statements” (collectively, “forward-looking statements”) within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws and within the meaning of Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, identified by words or phrases such as “believes”, “anticipates”, “expects”, “is expected”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “pending”, “intends”, “plans”, “forecasts”, “targets”, or “hopes”, or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “will”, “should”, “might”, “will be taken”, or “occur” and similar expressions) are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking information herein includes, but is not limited to, statements regarding: the anticipated voluntary delisting of the Class B Shares from the CSE; the receipt and timing of CSE approval of the delisting application; the expected last day of trading of the Class B Shares on the CSE; the anticipated benefits of the delisting, including reduced expenses, administrative effort and regulatory burden and the consolidation of trading into a single principal marketplace; the continued listing and trading of the Class B Shares on Nasdaq, the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and Upstream; and the Company’s intention to remain a reporting issuer in Canada and to continue to satisfy its continuous disclosure obligations.

Forward-looking statements are based on a number of material factors and assumptions, including that the CSE will approve the delisting application on the terms and within the timeframe currently anticipated; that no shareholder approval will be required, or if required, that it will be obtained; that the Company will continue to satisfy the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq; that trading in the Class B Shares will not be materially disrupted as a result of the delisting; that the Company will continue to have access to capital on acceptable terms; and that there will be no material adverse change in the Company’s business, financial condition or in general economic, market or regulatory conditions. Although the Company believes these assumptions to be reasonable, they may prove to be incorrect.

The Company cautions that forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs, estimates and opinions of the Company’s management on the date the statements are made, and they involve a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Consequently, there can be no assurances that such statements will prove to be accurate and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements include the risk that the CSE does not approve the delisting application, or approves it on terms or within a timeframe different from those anticipated; the risk that shareholder approval is required and is not obtained; the risk that the anticipated benefits of the delisting are not realized; the risk that the delisting results in reduced trading volume, liquidity, market visibility or analyst coverage for the Class B Shares, or in a lower trading price; the risk that Canadian shareholders are unable or unwilling to trade the Class B Shares on Nasdaq, or incur additional costs, currency conversion risk or settlement delays in doing so; the risk that Nasdaq becomes the Company’s only principal trading market and the Company subsequently fails to satisfy Nasdaq continued listing requirements, including the minimum bid price requirement; the effect of the delisting on the availability of resale exemptions under Canadian and United States securities laws, including Rule 904 of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the corresponding effect on the Company’s ability to complete private placements; the Company’s ability to relist on the CSE or another Canadian exchange in the future; and the other risk factors identified in the Company’s continuous disclosure filings.
