Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company (a "Share") and one share purchase warrant (a "Warrant") with each warrant entitling the holder to purchase one additional Share at a price of CAD 0.30 per Share for a period of three years from issuance.

The issuance of Units to Mr. Lee and Mr. Motz are considered related party transactions within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements provided under sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of MI 61-101 on the basis that Mr. Lee's and Mr. Motz's participation in the Private Placement did not exceed 25% of the fair market value of the Company's market capitalization. The Company will file a material change report in respect of the related party transaction.
The securities issued under the Private Placement will be subject to a regulatory hold period of four months plus one day from the date of issue. Proceeds of the Private Placement are expected to be used for general corporate purposes.
