The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Notes to fund capital expenditures related to its Freedom 1 facility with the remainder used for general working capital purposes or for such other purposes as the Company may determine to be appropriate in its sole discretion.

In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company expects to issue an aggregate of 3,061,224 shares of common stock (the “Bonus Shares”) to Pathfinder.

The issuance of the Bonus Shares remains subject to the review and approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
