Greencastle has ownership and/or control and direction over, an aggregate of 1,000,000 common shares of Nikos on an undiluted basis, representing 8.29% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Nikos. Greencastle owns and/or exercises control or direction over warrants entitling the purchase of an aggregate 1,000,000 common shares of Nikos.
