The Company has also agreed to grant the Underwriters an over-allotment option to purchase an additional 1,227,273 Units at
the Offering Price, exercisable in whole or in part, for a period ending 30 days from and including the Closing Date. In the
event the over-allotment option is exercised in full, the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering will be approximately
C$51,750,002.
The Units will be offered in the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta and
Ontario by short form prospectus, and in those jurisdictions outside of Canada which are
agreed to by the Company and the Underwriters, where the Units can be issued on a private placement basis, exempt from any
prospectus, registration or other similar requirements.
The Offering is expected to close on or about February 9, 2018 (the "Closing Date") and
is subject to certain conditions, including but not limited to, the receipt for all necessary approvals including the approval of
the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV").
The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes.
In connection with the Offering, Delavaco Group has been appointed as a special advisor to the Company.
