The number of Units to be distributed under the Offering, the price per Unit (the "Offering Price"), the exercise price of the Warrants and other final terms of the Offering will be determined by D-BOX and the Underwriters upon the pricing of the Offering, at the time of entering into an underwriting agreement for the Offering. D-BOX will update the market and issue a press release announcing the number of Units to be distributed under the Offering as well as the price per Unit once such terms have been determined.

It is expected that the Underwriters will be granted an option, exercisable at any time up to 30 days following the closing of the Offering, to purchase at the Offering Price up to an additional 15% of the Units sold pursuant to the Offering.

The Offering is expected to close in early March 2021 . Completion of the Offering will be subject to certain customary conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange.

The net proceeds from the Offering are expected to be used for growth initiatives, to provide additional working capital and for general corporate purposes.

The Offering is subject to market conditions, and there can be no assurance as to whether or when the Offering may be completed, or as to the actual size or terms of the Offering.
