An aggregate of 209,054 common shares were issued at a price of $1.533 per share for aggregate consideration of $320,479.78 The common shares issuable in the private placement are subject to a statutory hold period in accordance with applicable securities legislation and the rules and policies of the TSX Venture Exchange expiring on Sept. 10, 2025.
As Sumitomo is the beneficial owner of more than 10 per cent of Kenorland's outstanding shares, it is a related party to the company within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions). As such, the transaction constituted a related-party transaction within the meaning of MI 61-101.
The company has relied upon on exemptions from formal valuation and the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 found in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of either transaction does not constitute more than the 25 per cent of the company's market capitalization.
