The Shares were acquired for the purpose of settling a bona fide debt in the aggregate amount of CAD $300,000 owing by the Issuer to the Acquiror. The director of the Acquiror, David Eaton, is an insider of the Issuer by virtue of his appointment as a director of the Issuer. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, the Acquiror may, from time to time and depending on market and other conditions, acquire additional shares and/or other equity, debt or other securities or instruments of the Issuer in the open market or otherwise, and reserves the right to dispose of any or all of the securities in the open market or otherwise at any time and from time to time, and to engage in similar transactions with respect to the securities.
