The IPO was conducted pursuant to the Company's final prospectus dated December 13, 2022 (the "Prospectus"), which is available under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Echelon also received 150,000 common shares of the Company (the "Bonus Shares") at a deemed price of $0.10 per Bonus Share as an IPO success fee. In addition, Echelon and its selling group members received an aggregate of 613,600 non-transferable common share purchase warrants (each, an "Agent's Warrant"), each entitling the holder to acquire one common share of the Company (a "Share") at an exercise price of $0.10 for 36 months following the closing date.
