Two insiders of the Company held an aggregate of $100,000 in principal of the Notes. The insider conversions have been converted into common shares and included in the above share issuances. The participation of these insiders in the Note Offering and in the subsequent conversion constitutes a “related-party transaction” under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company is relying on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements under sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(b), respectively, of MI 61-101, as the fair-market value of the securities issued to insiders and the consideration paid by them does not exceed C$2,500,000.

The Consideration Shares, Estate Shares, and conversion premium shares are subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance, in accordance with applicable securities laws.
