Each Unit is comprised of one common share (each, a “Share”) and one share purchase warrant (each, a “Warrant”), with each Warrant entitling the holder to acquire one additional common share (each, a “Warrant Share”) in the capital of the Company at a price of $0.05 for a period two years from the date of issuance. The Units, Shares, Warrants and Warrants Shares are collectively referred to as the “Securities”. The expiry date of the Warrants may be accelerated in the event that the closing price of the Company’s common shares listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange is at least $0.09 per share for any period, after issuance of the Warrants, of ten (10) consecutive trading days. In such event, the Warrants will be deemed to have expired on the day which is thirty (30) days after the date of such notice.
The Securities are subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance. Closing of the Offering is subject to approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to complete and file its 2022 Annual Filings (as defined below) before the Filing Deadline (as defined below), for operations and for general working capital purposes.

Although preparation of the financial statements is progressing, the Company anticipates that there will be delays in finalizing the 2022 Annual Filings, such that the Company will not able to meet the Filing Deadline.
