In connection with the Proposed Transaction, the Company proposes to complete a concurrent private placement of aggregate gross proceeds of up to $10,000,000 (the "Private Placement"), the terms of which have not yet been finalized.

As a result, no meeting of the shareholders of the Company is required pursuant to corporate law, Policy 2.4 of the Exchange or securities laws.

Trading in the Company’s common shares has been halted in compliance with the policies of the Exchange. Trading in the Company’s common shares will remain halted pending the review of the Proposed Transaction by the Exchange and satisfaction of the conditions of the Exchange for resumption of trading.
