Prior to the conversion of the Special Warrants, the Company will complete a consolidation (the "Consolidation") of the outstanding common shares (each, a "Common Share") in the capital of the Company on the basis of 15 pre-Consolidation Common Shares for 1 post-Consolidation Common Share.
The Special Warrants shall be automatically exchanged for Units upon satisfaction of the following conditions (collectively the "Exercise Conditions"):
completion of the Consolidation;
receipt of approval of the TSX Venture Exchange for the Offering and the Consolidation; and
receipt of all regulatory approvals required for the Offering and the Consolidation.
Post-Consolidation, each Special Warrant is exchangeable, for no additional consideration, into one unit of the Company (each a "Unit"), for a deemed price of $0.225 per Unit. Each whole Unit is comprised of one Common Share and one Common Share purchase warrant of the Company (each, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one post-Consolidation Common Share for a period of three (3) years from the date of issuance at an exercise price of $0.30 per post-Consolidation Common Share.
The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to satisfy the Exercise Conditions. In the event that the Exercise Conditions are not satisfied on the date that is six months after the closing date of the Offering, the Special Warrants shall be redeemed at the Purchase Price for the Special Warrants.
This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities in the United States. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. Persons as defined under applicable United States securities laws unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available
The Offering is considered a related party transaction within the meaning of TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101") as certain directors and officers of the Company subscribed for 10,864,126 Special Warrants pursuant to the Offering. Such related party transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of securities being issued to the related parties nor the consideration being paid by the related parties exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization. The participants in the Offering and the extent of such participation were not finalized until shortly prior to the completion of the final tranche of the Offering. Accordingly, it was not possible to publicly disclose details of the nature and extent of related party participation in the final tranche of the Offering pursuant to a material change report filed at least 21 days prior to the completion of the final tranche of the Offering.
