The Acquisition was completed pursuant to the terms and conditions of a definitive subscription agreement (the "Subscription Agreement") between LEXI and the Acquiror regarding a non-brokered private placement (the "Financing") of an aggregate of 82,248,115 Units for aggregate consideration of $4,112,405.76 (US$3 million based on an exchange rate of C$1.00:US$:0.7295).

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Subscription Agreement, the Financing shall be completed in two tranches, with the Acquisition representing the first tranche and having closed concurrently with signing of the Subscription Agreement. Completion of the second tranche of the Financing remains subject to approval by the TSX Venture Exchange and the completion of certain funding conditions set forth in the Subscription Agreement.

The Acquiror, an asset management firm, acquired control and direction over the subject shares and warrants through certain investment funds managed by it, including Arena Origination Co., LLC, Arena Special Opportunities Fund, LP, Arena Special Opportunities Partners II, LP, Arena Special Opportunities Partners I, LP, Arena Special Opportunities Partners (Cayman Master) I, LP, Arena Special Opportunities Partners (Cayman Master) II, LP, Arena Finance Markets, LP and Arena Special Opportunities (Offshore) Master, LP (collectively, the "Funds").

Immediately prior to the completion of the Acquisition, the Acquiror owned, controlled or directed 32,367,217 Shares and 37,068,838 common share purchase warrants, representing approximately 21.2% of the issued and outstanding Shares on a non-diluted basis and 36.6% on a partially-diluted basis (assuming the exercise of all warrants under the control or direction of the Acquiror) prior to completion of the Acquisition. Pursuant to the Acquisition, the Acquiror acquired direction and control over an additional 15,000,000 Shares and 15,000,000 Warrants.
