The Company may compensate certain finders a cash fee equal to 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised from subscriptions under the Financing arranged by such finders.
Certain directors and officers of the Company may acquire securities under the Financing. Any such participation would be considered to be a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (“MI 61-101”). The transaction will be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of any shares issued to or the consideration paid by such persons will exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
The Financing remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. All securities issued pursuant to the Financing will be subject to a statutory four month and one day hold period from date of issuance.
