The Shares will be acquired pursuant to the exemption in section 2.10 of National Instrument 45-106 Prospectus and Registration Exemptions.
The acquisition of the Shares is being made for investment purposes. Concurrently with the closing of the Private Placement, the Company and Tremont will enter into a pre-emptive rights agreement whereby Tremont will have the right to participate in any subsequent equity offering by the Company on a pro rata basis. This right will continue until the earlier of five years from the closing of the Private Placement and the date on which Tremont and its affiliates hold less than 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company. Additionally, Tremont will be entitled to appoint two out of five directors of the Company.
