The securities issued in the Offering are subject to a four month hold period expiring on August 2, 2022.

Final acceptance of the Offering by the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") remains subject to the Company making certain filings with the Exchange.

0974052 B.C. Ltd. ("BC Ltd"), a company which Dr. Charles Fipke, the Chairman and a control person of the Company exercises control and direction over, subscribed for 781,250 Units for a total subscription price of $250,000. BC Ltd acquired the Units for investment purposes. The Offering and the acceptance of the subscription by BC Ltd was approved by unanimous resolution of the board of directors of the Company with Dr. Fipke declaring his interest in the resolution and abstaining from voting. There was no formal valuation of the Company done in connection with the Offering nor has there been such a formal valuation in the past 24 months. The Company relied upon the exemptions contained in Section 5.5(b) and 5.7(b), of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101") to avoid the formal valuation and shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101. For the purposes of Section 5.5(b), the Company does not have any securities listed on any of the stock exchanges set out in Section 5.5(b) and for the purposes of Section 5.7(b) the exemption was available as the consideration paid for the Units subscribed for by BC Ltd was less than $2,500,000.
