After Closing, the Fund will hold 38.8% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares (assuming conversion of all Debentures).
Additional Debentures and accompanying Warrants may be issued in up to a further 17 separate tranches (each a "Tranche"). The Company shall issue Debentures in the principal amount of $250,000 for each additional Tranche. The Debentures, Warrants and common shares issuable on exercise of the Warrants are subject to a hold period of four months and one day.
The Company issued 2,000,000 common shares at a deemed issue price of $0.10 per share to an arm's length advisor in connection with services provided to the Company in connection with the financing and to be provided on an ongoing basis. Under the terms of the agreement with the advisor a further 1,000,000 common shares may be issued at a deemed price of $0.10 per share if certain conditions are satisfied.
Immediately following the Closing, the Fund, directly or indirectly, beneficially owns or exercises control or direction over (i) an aggregate principal amount of $850,000 Debentures; and (ii) 14,875,000 Warrants.
