The closing of the Offering is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to sell any of the securities in the United States. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”) or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.
The Offering constituted a “related party transaction” as defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Securityholders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”), as insiders of the Company subscribed for an aggregate of 1,005,000 Units. The Company is relying on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(b) of MI 61-101, as the Company is not listed on a specified market and the fair market value of the Units being issued to insiders in connection with the Offering does not exceed $2,500,000, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101. The Company did not file a material change report in respect of the related party transaction at least 21 days before the closing of the Offering, which the Company deems reasonable in the circumstances in order to complete the Offering in an expeditious manner. Pursuant to the Offering, Gregory Isenor subscribed for 930,000 Units of the Company. Prior to the completion of the Offering, Mr. Isenor beneficially owned or controlled 2,047,100 Common Shares of the Company, representing approximately 12.05% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis. Upon completion of the Offering, Mr. Isenor will beneficially own or control 2,997,100 Common Shares of the Company and 930,000 Warrants, representing approximately 10.27% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis and 13.06% on a partially diluted basis. Depending on market and other conditions, or as future circumstances may dictate, Mr. Isenor may from time to time increase or decrease his holdings of Common Shares or other securities of the Company.
