For Debentures held until the Maturity Date, the Company will have the option to repay the holders in cash for the outstanding principal amount of the Debentures and any accrued unpaid interest thereon or, subject to approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”), repay all of the outstanding principal amount of the Debentures and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon in Units at a price per Unit equal to the closing price of the Common Shares on the last trading day prior to the Maturity Date.
Each Unit will be comprised of one Common Share and one-half of one share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”), with each Warrant exercisable to acquire one Common Share (a “Warrant Share”) at a price per Warrant Share equal to the greater of (i) 1.25 multiplied by the closing price of the Common Shares on the last trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company receives a duly completed warrant exercise notice from the holder, and (ii) $0.10 per Warrant Share.
All securities issued in connection with the Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the closing date in accordance with applicable securities legislation.
