In the event of automatic conversion, each debenture holder will receive warrants to purchase that number of common shares as is equal to 50 per cent of the shares issuable on conversion of the debentures until Oct. 20, 2026, at an exercise price of 70 cents per share. In the event the common shares of the corporation closing price on the TSX-V exceeds $1 for five consecutive trading days, based on volume-weighted average price, the corporation will have the right to accelerate the expiry of the warrants to 10 days.

Finders may also receive common share purchase warrants equal to up to 4 per cent of the aggregate subscription amount in relation to subscribers introduced by the finder, each finder's warrant will be exercisable into one common share at an exercise price of 19.5 cents per common share for a period of 18 months.
