Trax enables its customers to target and advertise to devices based on very specific demographics of a device user and the geolocations and geopatterns of devices. Trax focus is to deliver the right message to the right device at the right time. Trax is a private company incorporated under the laws of Delaware. Since incorporation on September 20, 2016, Trax has been focused on development and operations and has not generated revenue from its operations. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, on an unaudited basis, Trax had a net loss of $580,060 and a comprehensive loss of $610,332. As at September 30, 2017, on an unaudited basis, Trax had $374,869 in total assets (of which $81,757 were current assets) and $138,290 in total liabilities (all of which were current). Pursuant to the LOI, the Company will, directly or indirectly through a subsidiary, acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of Trax (collectively, the “Target Securities”) in exchange for the issuance of an aggregate of 20,884,416 common shares of the Company (each, a “Consideration Share”) at a deemed price of $0.15 per Consideration Share, 72,000 share purchase warrants of the Company (each, a “Consideration Warrant”) with each Consideration Warrant being exercisable into one common share of the Company (a “Share”) at an exercise price of $0.15 per Share, and 500,000 stock options of the Company (each, a “Consideration Option”, and together with the Consideration S Financing”) on terms to be determined in reference to market conditions and CSE policies, subject to the securities having a minimum subscription price of $0.15 per share or subscription receipt. Also in connection with the Acquisition, Trax plans to seek an unsecured bridge loan in the amount of $300,000 (the “Bridge Loan”) from third party lenders, subject to the negotiation and execution of the applicable loan documentation. The Bridge Loan is expected to be advanced within five days of entry into the Acquisition Agreement on substantially the following terms: (a) an interest rate of 10% per annum, (b) a maturity date of one year following the date the Bridge Loan is advanced (the “Maturity Date”), (c) principal and accrued interest payable on the Maturity Date, and (d) covenants limiting Trax’s ability to use the proceeds from the Bridge Loan for purposes other than maintenance of working capital. On Closing, the Bridge Loan and accrued interest thereon will be converted into common shares of the Company at a deemed price of $0.12 per share. Additional information regarding the Bridge Loan, the lenders and terms will be disclosed once confirmed. The Consideration Securities and other securities issued in connection with the Acquisition, Concurrent Financing and Bridge Loan will be subject to a statutory hold period expiring four months and one day after their issuance. Also, in addition to any escrow which may be required by the policies of the CSE, the Consideration Securities will be subject to a voluntary escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) and will be escrow from closing of the Acquisition and not released until the first anniversary of closing. The board of directors of the Company is expected to be reconstituted on Closing to be comprised of four directors, including one nominee of Trax. Additional information will be provided regarding the proposed directors of the resulting issuer when available. Also on Closing, the Company plans to adopt an incentive stock option plan which will provide for the grant of stock options in an amount equal to 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company from time to time. The Acquisition will constitute a non-arm’s length transaction as Cameron Chell and Erika Racicot, directors of the Company, are also directors or officers and indirect shareholders of Business Instincts Group Inc. (“BIG”). BIG is the largest shareholder of Trax. Accordingly, the Acquisition and the delisting, if required by the TSXV, will be subject to approval of the majority of minority shareholders and other corresponding requirements in accordance with TSXV Policy 5.9 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions.

The Company seeks to enter into the Acquisition Agreement by October 31, 2018 and to complete the Acquisition and ancillary transactions on or before December 14, 2018. Trax has agreed not to entertain transaction proposals from any other party until such time as the Acquisition Agreement has been entered into or the LOI has been terminated.
