The early warning report dated May 9, 2022 described below was filed under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Pursuant to the terms of the Qualifying Transaction, Paradex Inc. ("Paradex") with an address for service at 4545 E Coronado Ridge Ln, acquired 9,545,444 RI Common Shares on April 27, 2022, in exchange for securities of Acapulco previously held by Paradex on the same basis as all other prior security holders of Acapulco.

As a result of the Qualifying Transaction and in connection with the exchange of Acapulco securities for securities of the Company, Paradex acquired direct and indirect ownership and control of 9,545,444 RI Common Shares, representing approximately 15.89% of the issued and outstanding RI Common Shares on a non-fully diluted basis as of the date of the closing of the Qualifying Transaction.
