In addition, the terms of the Financings have been revised such that upon conversion, holders of the Subscription Receipts will also receive one-half of a common share purchase warrant (a Warrant) with an exercise price of C$0.75 per common share exercisable for a period of two years.
Astar is a reporting issuer in the Provinces of British Columbia, Ontario and Alberta and its common shares are currently listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the TSXV) under the symbol TAR.
Pursuant to the terms of the Transaction, the common shares of FinCanna will be exchanged for common shares of Astar, as the “Resulting Issuer” upon completion of the Transaction, on a one for one basis and the Resulting Issuer’s common shares shall be listed and posted for trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the CSE).
