Stratabound plans to rely upon the existing security holder exemption found in B.C. Instrument 45-534 (Exemption

In addition to the existing security holder exemption and other available prospectus exemptions, a portion or
all of the offering may be completed pursuant to Multilateral CSA Notice 45-318 (Prospectus Exemption for Certain Distributions
through an Investment Dealer), and the corresponding blanket orders and rules implementing CSA Notice 45-318 in the participating
jurisdictions in respect thereof. As at the date hereof, the exemption available under CSA Notice 45-318 is available in each of

investment dealer exemption must obtain advice regarding the suitability of the investment from a registered investment dealer.

Unless the company determines to increase the size of the Private Placement offering, if subscriptions received
