A further 200,000 Options had been issued on December 15, 2011 at an original exercise price of $0.38.The Re-Pricing of the Options will be submitted for TSX.V approval shortly and shareholder approval will be sought at the Company's upcoming Annual General Meeting to be held on April 24, 2013. The Re-Pricing of the Options is subject to the approval of a simple majority approval of the Company's shareholders excluding votes attached to shares beneficially owned by insiders to whom options may be granted under the Company's stock option plan or associates of such persons. Prior to the Company's receipt of TSX.V and shareholder approval, none of the Options may be exercised at the revised price.
The Re-Pricing of the Options to insiders, employees and consultants is undertaken to attempt to ensure that the objectives of the Company's stock option plan are fulfilled and to compensate management, who have accepted a significant reduction in their salaries in order to preserve the Company's treasury; and directors, who receive no cash compensation.
