Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Corporation and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (“Warrants”). Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase an additional common share of the Corporation for a period of one year at an exercise price of $0.10 per share.
The Corporation may pay finder’s fees of up to 6% in cash.
All the securities issued pursuant to the offering will be subject to a four-month restricted resale period under Canadian securities laws.
The net proceeds of the offering will be used to gather reservoir information at the Corporation’s c-69-H/94-B-1 well drilled at Farrell Creek, British Columbia in the first quarter of 2016 and for general corporate purposes.
The offering is a related party transaction under Multilateral Instrument 61 – 101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”) as Elmag Investments Inc., an insider and control person of the Corporation, intends to participate in the offering for an as yet undetermined amount. The offering is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder vote requirements of MI 61 – 101 as the fair market value of the insider’s participation in the offering does not exceed 25% of the Corporation’s market capitalization.
