- The 2022 Secured Convertible Debentures will be convertible into subordinate voting shares (the “SVS”) of the Company at a conversion price of the lower of:
(i) C$0.50 per SVS, or;
(ii) 20% discount to the deemed transaction price in any following triggering events:
(a) a change of control transaction;
(b) receipt of the final receipt for a final prospectus of the Company filed with Canadian
regulatory authorities; or,
(c) completion of a debt or equity financing with minimum gross proceeds of US$10,000,000.

After an extensive review and consultation process with its legal and financial advisors, the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) concluded that the Restructuring Transaction represents the best available alternative to improve the Company’s capital structure and to allow it to capitalize on its business plan to maximize value for the Company’s stakeholders.
