The actual allocation of the proceeds may vary from the uses set forth above, depending on future operations or unforeseen events or opportunities. If the offering is not fully subscribed, the company may apply the proceeds of the offering in such priority and proportions as the board of directors of the company determines to be in the best interests of company.
The offering will be completed pursuant to Multilateral CSA Notice 45-313 and the corresponding blanket orders and rules implementing CSA 45-313 in the participating jurisdictions in respect thereof and Multilateral CSA Notice 45-318 and the corresponding blanket orders and rules implementing CSA 45-318 in the participating jurisdictions in respect thereof.

Pursuant to CSA 45-313, each subscriber relying on the existing security holder exemption may subscribe for such number of equity units that results in an acquisition cost of less than or equal to $15,000 for such subscribers, unless a subscriber is resident in a jurisdiction of Canada and has obtained advice regarding the suitability of the investment from a registered investment dealer (in which case such maximum subscription amount will not apply).
