If the Qualifying Expenditures are reduced by the Canada Revenue Agency, the Company will indemnify each subscriber of FT Units for any additional taxes payable by such subscriber as a result of the Company’s failure to renounce the Qualifying Expenditures.
The securities issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a four-month and one day hold period under applicable securities laws in Canada.
Closing of the Offering is subject to final approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.
