Upon release of the escrowed funds to Regulus, each Subscription Receipt will be converted into one common share of Regulus (a 'Common Share') and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant of Regulus (each whole warrant, a 'Warrant'), without additional payment or action on the part of the holders of Subscription Receipts. Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share up to and including 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on March 6, 2014 at an exercise price of $1.60 per Common Share.
