Each Warrant entitles Kumar, through Impex, to acquire one additional Ordinary Share at a price of US$0.031 per Ordinary Share at any time until November 28, 2019.

On a partially-diluted basis, assuming the exercise of all Warrants held by Kumar, through Impex, but no exercise of any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares of the Corporation by any other party, Impex would have ownership and control over 140,101,698 Ordinary Shares of the Corporation, representing approximately 23.2% of the then issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares.

The acquisition of Ordinary Shares and Warrants by Impex was made for investment purposes. Impex may from time to time dispose of, or acquire, additional securities of the Corporation as circumstances warrant.
