Eligible persons (the "Finders") were paid a cash commission (the "Cash Commission") equal to 8% of the proceeds raised from subscribers introduced to Generic Gold by such Finders and finder warrants (the "Finder Warrants") equal to 8% of the Flow-Through Units issued pursuant to the Offering. Each Finder Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one unit (each a "Unit") of Generic Capital exercisable at a price of $0.30 per Unit for a period of 36 months from the date of issuance. Each Unit is comprised of one Common Share (issued on a non-flow basis) and one Warrant. The Cash Commission is payable through the issuance of Units.
Generic Gold intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to incur Canadian exploration expenses (the "Qualifying Expenditures") on its properties located in Yukon, Canada. Generic Gold will renounce the Qualifying Expenditures to subscribers of the Flow-Through Units for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.
