The securities issued under the Concurrent Offering remain subject to a hold period of four months plus one day from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable securities legislation.

Certain directors and officers of the Company (collectively, the “Insiders”) participated in the Offering and, as such, the closing of the Offering may constitute a related party transaction under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”), but is otherwise exempt from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 by virtue Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of such Insider participation in the closing of the Offering. No special committee was established in connection with the Offering or the participation of the Insiders in the closing of the Offering, and no materially contrary view or abstention was expressed or made by any director of the Company in relation thereto. Further details will be included in a material change report that will be filed by the Company in connection with the completion of the closing of the second tranche of the Offering. The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the closing date of the second tranche of the Offering as the terms of the second tranche of the Offering and the total amount to be invested by the Insiders were not settled until shortly prior to closing, and the Company wished to complete the final tranche of the Offering on an expedited basis for sound business reasons.
Completion of the Offering is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
