The Units were offered to investors as both Canadian dollar denominated units and United States dollar denominated units and as such, the aggregate proceeds from the Private Placement were determined in part by using an exchange rate of USD$1.00:C$1.3583, such rate calculated by reference to the daily average exchange rates reported by the Bank of Canada on the dates immediately preceding each closing.
