In addition, finders may receive share purchase warrants (the “Finder’s Warrants”) entitling them to purchase that number of common shares of the Company, which is equal to 7% of the total number of Units purchased by subscribers introduced to the Company such finders, exercisable for two years from the closing of the Offering at a price of $0.23 per common share, all in accordance with the policies of the TSXV.
