The Shares issued pursuant to the Private Placement are subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day that expires on October 11, 2022. Completion of the Private Placement is subject to receipt of applicable regulatory approvals, including final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

 

The securities offered have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any State in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

 

Related Party Participation in the Private Placement

 

Certain insiders of the Company, namely Collin Kettell (CEO and Director) and Craig Roberts (Director) participated in the Private Placement acquiring an aggregate of 5,111,200 Shares. The participation by insiders in the Private Placement constitutes a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. The Company is relying on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the Shares purchased by insiders, nor the consideration for the Shares paid by such insiders, will exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization. The Company did not file a material change report in respect of the related party transaction at least 21 days before the closing of the Private Placement, which the Company deems reasonable in the circumstances in order to complete the Private Placement in an expeditious manner.
