Each Unit shall be comprised of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a “Common Share”) and one Common Share purchase warrant (each, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant shall entitle the holder to purchase one Common Share at US$3.10 at any time on or before the date which is 36 months after the closing date of the Equity Offering.
The Company has filed a preliminary prospectus supplement dated November 8, 2022, as amended on November 9, 2022 (the “PreliminaryProspectus Supplement”), to its final short form base shelf prospectus dated November 26, 2020, as amended by amendment no. 1 dated November 30, 2021 (collectively, the “Base Shelf Prospectus”) in connection with the Equity Offering of Units. The Preliminary Prospectus Supplement was filed with the securities regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada, except Québec. The Preliminary Prospectus Supplement was also filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as part of a registration statement on Form F-10 (File No. 333-264982), effective upon filing with the SEC on May 16, 2022, in accordance with the Multijurisdictional Disclosure System established between Canada and the United States. The Company expects to file a final prospectus supplement (the “Prospectus Supplement”) in connection with the Equity Offering by no later than 5:30 pm (Toronto time) on November 9, 2022.
The Units are being offered (i) to the public in each of the provinces of Canada, other than Québec, (ii) in the United States, and (iii) in such other international jurisdictions, as the Company and the dealers agree.
