The participation of the related parties in the Offering constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of MI 61-101. The Corporation is relying upon exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 based on a determination that the fair market value of the First Offering and Second Offering are not more than $2,500,000 and the fact the Corporation is not listed on a specified market set out in section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101. The Corporation was not in a position to file a material change report more than 21 days in advance of the closing of the Offering, as the participation of the related party was not confirmed at that time.
