The Amendments are exempt from the need to obtain minority shareholder approval and a formal valuation as required by MI 61-101 pursuant to subsections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the options and/or warrants issued to insiders or the consideration paid by insiders of the Company will not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.
