Each non-FT unit consists of one common share and one-half of one warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share at a price per warrant share of $1.20 for a period of 24 months from the closing date of the offering.
The company, pursuant to the provisions in the tax act, shall use an amount equal to the gross proceeds of the sale of the tranche 1 CEE units to incur qualifying expenditures after the closing date and prior to Dec. 31, 2026, in the aggregate amount of not less than the total amount of the gross proceeds raised from the issue of tranche 1 CEE units. The company shall renounce the qualifying expenditures so incurred to the purchasers of the tranche 1 CEE units, effective on or before Dec. 31, 2025.
The company, pursuant to the provisions in the tax act, shall use an amount equal to the gross proceeds of the sale of the tranche 2 CEE units to incur qualifying expenditures after the closing date and prior to Dec. 31, 2026, in the aggregate amount of not less than the total amount of the gross proceeds raised from the issue of tranche 2 CEE units. The company shall renounce the qualifying expenditures so incurred to the purchasers of the tranche 2 CEE units, effective on or before Dec. 31, 2025.
The company, pursuant to the provisions in the tax act, shall use an amount equal to $2-million of the gross proceeds of the sale of the CDE offered units to incur accelerated Canadian development expenses after the closing date and prior to March 31, 2026, in the aggregate amount of not less than $2-million of the gross proceeds raised from the issue of CDE offered units. Additionally, the company, pursuant to the provisions in the tax act, shall use an amount equal to the gross proceeds of the sale of the CDE offered units, less $2-million, to incur accelerated Canadian development expenses after the closing date and prior to June 30, 2026, in the aggregate amount of not less than the total amount of the gross proceeds raised from the issue of CDE offered units, less $2-million. The company shall renounce the qualifying expenditures so incurred to the purchasers of the CDE offered units effective on or before March 31, 2026, with respect to $2-million and June 30, 2026, with respect to the rest of the gross proceeds raised from the issue of CDE offered units.
The net proceeds from the sale of the non-FT units shall be used for general corporate and working capital purposes.
The CDE offered units and tranche 1 CEE LIFE units are not subject to resale restrictions pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws.
The non-FT units, tranche 1 CEE PP units and tranche 2 CEE units are subject to a hold period in Canada expiring four months and one day from the closing date.
In consideration for its services, the company has paid the agents a cash commission equal to 6.0 per cent of the gross proceeds from the offering (subject to a reduction to 3.0 per cent on certain president's list purchases) and that number of non-transferable compensation options as is equal to 6.0 per cent of the aggregate number of offered units sold under the offering (subject to reduction to 3.0 per cent on certain president's list purchases). Each compensation option is exercisable to acquire one common share of the company at a price of 80 cents per share for a period of 24 months from the closing date, except compensation options issued with respect to president's list purchasers, with such compensation options to be exercisable at a price of 80 cents per compensation option share for a period of nine months from the closing date.
The offered units were sold to purchasers resident in Canada pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106 (Prospectus Exemptions) and Coordinated Blanket Order 45-935 (Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption) and to eligible purchasers resident in jurisdictions outside of Canada (including to purchasers resident in the United States pursuant to one or more exemptions from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended), in each case in accordance with all applicable laws. The offered units are not subject to any hold period under applicable Canadian securities legislation.
The offering is subject to final acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.
Certain insiders of the company (within the meaning of the rules and policies of the TSX-V) have acquired an aggregate of 12,500 units of the company in connection with the offering. The insiders' participation in the offering therefore constitutes a related-party transaction within the meaning of TSX-V Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions). The company is relying on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority security holder approval requirements of the related-party rules set out in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the subject matter of the offering does not exceed 25 per cent of the market capitalization of the company. The company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the closing of the offering as the details of the offering and the participation therein by each related party of the company were not settled until shortly prior to the closing of the offering, and the company wished to close the offering on an expedited basis for sound business reasons.
