The subscription price for the Common Shares issued under the Agreement will be equal to 90% of the average closing price of the 15 trading days immediately preceding the date of a Draw Down, which subscription price may not be lower than the floor price determined by Colt for such Draw Down and the Discounted Market Price (as such term is defined in the TSXV’s Corporate Finance Manual).
