Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
The statements other than statements of historical
facts included in this Current Report on Form 8-K are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 or “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities law, including,
but not limited to, the parties’ ability to consummate the Sale Transaction, the Company’s business after the Sale Transaction
is complete and matters related to the stockholders’ meeting. There are a number of risks, uncertainties and other important factors
that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements, including those described in the Company’s
filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements
are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, performance or achievements. Therefore, actual outcomes and results could materially
differ from what is expressed or implied in such statements.
Important Information Regarding the Sale Transaction
This Current Report on Form 8-K is neither a solicitation
of a proxy nor an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell any securities. This Current Report on Form 8-K is also not
a substitute for any proxy statement or other filings that may be made with the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)
with respect to the Sale Transaction. Approval of the Sale Transaction will be submitted to the Company’s stockholders for their
consideration, and the Company will file a definitive proxy statement to be used to solicit stockholder approval of the transaction with
the SEC. Detailed information about the transaction will be contained in the definitive proxy statement and other documents to be filed
with the SEC and disseminated to stockholders prior to the meeting. Additionally, this Current Report on Form 8-K is not a notice of redemption
