Each Unit will be comprised of one Common Share and one-half of one share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”), with each Warrant exercisable to acquire one Common Share (a “Warrant Share”) at a price per Warrant Share equal to the greater of (i) 1.25 multiplied by the closing price of the Common Shares on the last trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company receives a duly completed warrant exercise notice from the holder, and (ii) $0.10 per Warrant Share.

All securities issued in connection with the Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the closing date in accordance with applicable securities legislation.
