All of the securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement are subject to a four month and one day hold period from the date of issue.
The net proceeds of the Private Placement will be used for general working capital. In connection with the Private Placement, the Company paid cash finder’s fees of $3,500 and issued 70,000 finder’s warrants (the “Finder Warrants”) to eligible finders. Each Finder Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Share at a price of $0.05 for a period of 24 months following the date hereof.
