Prior to the Transaction, Mr. Glasier controlled a total of 4,928,516 common shares (6.9%) which increased to 5,028,516 common shares (7.0%). Additionally, Mr. Glasier held vested stock options and warrants exercisable for 1,067,647 common shares of the Company which if all were exercised, Mr. Glasier would hold and/or control approximately 8.4% of the Company's then issued and outstanding common shares.
