Prior to the completion of the March Private Placement, BZAM did not hold any securities of Speakeasy.

BZAM acquired the Units for investment purposes. BZAM expects to monitor the business, prospects, financial condition and potential capital requirements of Speakeasy, and depending on its evaluation of these and other factors, BZAM may from time to time in the future increase or decrease its direct or indirect ownership, control or direction over Common Shares or other securities of Speakeasy through market transactions, private agreements, subscriptions from treasury or otherwise.
