Related Party Transaction
An aggregate of 630,914 Units were issued to insiders of the Company under the Offering for gross proceeds of $220,819. The insider subscriptions constitute a “related party transaction” pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61‐101 — Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61‐101“). In completing the insider subscriptions, the Company relied on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61‐101 set forth in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of MI 61‐101, as the aggregate value of the insider subscription does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company.
The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing of the Offering due to the limited time between the launch of the Offering and the Closing.
