Each Warrant shall entitle the holder to purchase one Common Share for a period of 24 months from the initial closing date of the Offering (the "Closing Date") at the following exercise prices: (i) $0.22 per Common Share if exercised within the first 12 months from the Closing Date; and (ii) $0.28 per Common Share if exercised during the subsequent 12-month period.
The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to satisfy the Exercise Conditions on or before the date that is six (6) months following the Closing Date (the "Special Warrant Expiry Time").

The transactions contemplated by the Debt Conversion Agreement constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transaction ("MI 61-101") because Mr. Yogev is a director of the Company.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state where such an offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful.
The Company also announces that it has entered into an amending agreement (the "Amending Agreement") with Yoel Yogev, amending certain terms of the consulting agreement dated July 2, 2024, between the Company and Mr. Yogev.
