Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one additional common share (a "Warrant Share") at a price of $0.20 for 24 months from the date of conversion of the Debentures.
Debentures in the total principal amount of US$1,250,000 (the "New Debentures"), comprised of US$232,784 senior secured Debentures and US$1,017,216 unsecured convertible Debentures issued by the Company on September 8, 2016 will be converted at a price of C$0.40 per Unit. The Warrants contained in the Units acquired upon conversion of the New Debentures entitle the holder to purchase one additional common share (a "Warrant Share") at a price of $0.40 for 24 months from the date of conversion of the Debentures.
Amended and restated senior secured Debentures in the total principal amount of US$3,156,025 as amended effective March 31, 2016 (the "Amended Debentures") will be converted at a price of C$0.20 per Unit. Additional Debentures issued as of March 31, 2016 in the total principal amount of US$500,000 (the "Additional Debentures") will be converted at a price of C$0.20 per Unit. The Warrants contained in the Units acquired upon conversion of the Amended Debentures and the Additional Debentures entitle the holder to purchase one additional common share (a "Warrant Share") at a price of $0.20 for 24 months from the date of conversion of the Debentures.
In addition, all Debenture Holders have agreed to convert all accrued unpaid interest under their Debentures in the amount of up to $375,693 into common shares at a price of C$0.77 per share. The conversion of the interest under the Debentures into common shares is subject to acceptance by the TSXV.
The Debenture Holders have all also agreed to exercise their Warrants, on a cashless basis, by way of an exchange of their Warrants for that number of common shares of the Company determined by multiplying the total number of Warrant Shares issuable on exercise of the Warrants by a fraction, the numerator of which will be the difference between (x) the market price of the Company's common shares on the trading day before the date of cashless exercise of the Warrants (the "Market Price") and (y) the exercise price of the Warrant Shares, and the denominator of which will be the Market Price.
