The Corporation has set August 18, 2014 as the record date for the purpose of determining existing shareholders entitled to purchase Units pursuant to the Existing Shareholder Exemption. Subscribers purchasing Units under the Existing Shareholder Exemption will need to represent in writing that they meet certain requirements of the Existing Shareholder Exemption, including that they were, on or before the record date, a shareholder of the Corporation (and still are a shareholder). The aggregate acquisition cost to a subscriber under the Existing Shareholder Exemption cannot exceed $15,000 unless that subscriber has obtained advice obtained from a registered investment dealer regarding the suitability of the investment. The Corporation will accept qualifying subscriptions of $500 or larger. Unless the Corporation determines to increase the gross proceeds of the Offering and receives TSX Venture approval for such increase, if subscriptions received for the Offering based on all available exemptions exceed the maximum Offering amount of $250,000, Units will be allocated pro rata amongst all subscribers qualifying under all available exemptions.
