If the share price on the TSX Venture Exchange is greater than $0.15 per share for a period of 10 consecutive trading days, the Company may elect to accelerate the expiry date of all or part of the Warrants, at any date that is four months and one day after the Closing Date, by giving notice thereof to the holders of the Warrants. In such case, that portion of the Warrants would be subject to an expiry date that is 30 business days after the date on which such notice is given.
The second and final tranche of the Financing has been approved with a total of 6,290,000 units being issued. Securities issued under the final tranche are subject to a four-month hold period in accordance with applicable securities laws as well as the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.
