In the event that the principal amount of the Debenture was converted in full, the Acquiror would have ownership and control of an additional 5,172,413 common shares of Almonty, representing approximately 9.5% of the then issued and outstanding common shares of Almonty post-exercise (being 54,168,904 shares), for a total of 17,381,715 common shares of Almonty, representing approximately 32.0% of the then issued and outstanding common shares of Almonty post-exercise. The Acquiror acquired the common shares and Debenture for investment purposes and has no present intention to acquire further securities of Almonty, although it may in the future acquire or dispose of securities of Almonty, through the market, privately or otherwise, as circumstances or market conditions warrant.

The transaction and the issuance of the common shares and Debentures to the Acquiror by Almonty were announced by Almonty on September 23, 2014. The Acquiror did not file an early warning report or issue a press release in relation to the transaction through inadvertence.
