- receipt of approval of the TSX Venture Exchange for the Offering and the Consolidation; and
- receipt of all regulatory approvals required for the Offering and the Consolidation.
The Company shall use reasonable efforts to satisfy the Exercise Conditions. In the event that the Exercise Conditions are not satisfied on the date that is six months after the closing date of the Offering, the Special Warrants shall be redeemed at the Purchase Price for the Special Warrants.
It is expected that the closing of the Offering will occur on or before October 15, 2015.
