The 2024 Warrants were issued pursuant to a private placement that closed on March 18, 2024 (please see the Company's press release dated March 18, 2024 for more details). The expiry date of the 2024 Warrants have now been extended to March 18, 2027 (the "Extension").
No action will be required on the part of the holders of the 2024 Warrants to give effect to the Extension, and replacement warrant certificates will not be issued. Original warrant certificates must be presented to the Company in order to exercise any of the 2024 Warrants.
One of the directors of the Company is the beneficial owner of 263,118 of the 2024 Warrants and, therefore, the Extension may constitute a "related party transaction" pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Shareholders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Extension is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the Extension does not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
