Closing of the financings are expected to take place on or about the week of November 26, 2018. The securities issued under the FT Financing and the NFT Financing will be subject to hold period of four-months and one day.
In connection with the NFT Financing and the FT Financing, the Company will provide a finder’s fee to EMD Financial Inc.
