Each Unit is comprised of one Class A subordinate voting share of the Company (a “Share”) and one-half of one Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”) of the Company. Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one additional Share at an exercise price of $1.80 for a period of two (2) years following the closing of the Offering.

In connection with the Offering, the Underwriters received a cash commission equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering (the “Cash Commission”) and that number of non-transferable broker warrants (the “Broker Warrants”) as is equal to 6.0% of the aggregate number of Units sold under the Offering. Each Broker Warrant is exercisable to acquire one Share at a price of $1.35 per Share for a period two (2) years after the closing of the Offering. Each of the Cash Commission paid and Brokers Warrants issued to the Underwriters was reduced to 3% with respect to subscribers identified on the Company’s president’s list, which president’s list was in the amount of $13,600,035.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for growth initiatives and general corporate and working capital purposes.
