Amalfi, a private company controlled by Geoff Balderson, CFO of Blender, received an aggregate of 5,537 Administrative Shares in consideration for administrative services rendered in connection with the Private Placement. The issuance of the Administrative Shares to Amalfi is considered to be a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101").
