The closing of the Financing is expected to occur on or about June 28, 2022, and is subject to the receipt of regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”). The securities to be issued under the Financing will have a hold period of four months and one day from closing.

(“Medalist”) pursuant to which Medalist will provide general advice and planning services in connection with the strategic analysis of equity and debt market (the “Services”). Subject to the approval of the TSXV, the Company and Medalist have agreed that payment for the Services shall be in common shares of the Company (“Common Shares”) in the amount of 263,220 Common Shares (the “Consideration Shares”). The deemed price of the Consideration Shares to be issued will be determined after the date the Services are provided to the Company.
The securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the Unites States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), or any U.S. state security laws, and may not be offered or sold in the Unites States without registration under the U.S. Securities Act and all applicable state securities laws or compliance with requirements of an applicable exemption therefrom.
