Pursuant to the Offering, certain insiders of the Company subscribed for 6,880,000 common shares of the Company, which constitutes a "related party transaction" pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company is exempt from the requirement to obtain a formal valuation or minority shareholder approval in connection with the Offering in reliance on Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 because the fair market value of the securities issued to such insiders did not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization as determined in accordance with MI 61-101.
