Insider participation
Certain directors and senior officers of the company participated in the offering by purchasing an aggregate of 148,400 units. Accordingly, the offering constituted to that extent a related party transaction within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101, Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. The company is relying on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as the fair market value of the participation in the offering by the company's directors and officers does not exceed 25 per cent of the market capitalization of the company in accordance with MI 61-101. The company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing of the offering as the details of the offering and the participation therein by related parties of the company were not settled until shortly prior to closing and the company wished to close on an expedited basis for sound business reasons.
