In connection with the second tranche, the company issued 162,825 finders' warrants and paid commissions of $13,026 to certain finders. Each finder's warrant entitles the holder to purchase an additional common share at a price of 12 cents for a period of 24 months from the date of issuance.

All securities issued with respect to the second tranche, including the finders' warrants, will be subject to a hold period expiring on June 27, 2025, in addition to such other restrictions as may apply under applicable securities laws of jurisdictions outside Canada.
