In accordance with the terms of the Warrant Indenture, this news release constitutes notice to Warrant holders of the Acceleration Trigger. Accordingly, the Company confirms that the Warrants are now set to expire at 5:00 p.m. EST on October 9, 2018, being the 21st day following the occurrence of the Acceleration Trigger (the "Early Expiry Date"). Any Warrants remaining unexercised after the Early Expiry Date will be cancelled.
As of the close of market on September 17, 2018, a total of 1,318,150 Warrants of the 2,500,000 Warrants originally issued had yet to be exercised. Each Warrant is exercisable into one Common Share at a price of $4.50 per Common Share.
