Prior to closing the Offering, Eight Capital and the Company may agree to form a syndicate of underwriters.

If this option is exercised in full, an additional $3,750,001 will be raised pursuant to the Offering and the aggregate proceeds of the Offering will be $53,750,003.
Each Unit will be comprised of one common share of the Company (a “Common Share“) and one common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant“).

The Convertible Debentures will be convertible at the option of the holder into common shares of the Company (the “Conversion Shares“) at any time prior to the close of business on the Maturity Date at a conversion price of $2.30 per share (the “Conversion Price“). Beginning on the date following the closing date, the Company may force the conversion of all of the principal amount of the then outstanding Convertible Debentures at the Conversion Price on 30 days prior written notice should the daily volume weighted average trading price of the Conversion Shares be greater than $3.45, for any 10 consecutive trading days.

If 90% or more of the principal amount of the Convertible Debentures outstanding on the date of the notice of the change of control have been tendered for redemption, the Company will have the right to redeem all of the remaining Convertible Debentures at the Offer Price.
