The Corporation wishes to complete the Transaction in order to provide its shareholders with the opportunity to realize some value for their common shares, having regard to COVID 19 related economic uncertainty, the significant cost of maintaining a public listing, and the common shares are thinly traded. Based on the significant premium to the last trading price and the value of the Consideration, the Board of Directors of the Corporation believe the Transaction is in the best interest of the company and all stakeholders. The Corporation will include an analysis and conclusions, from a financial point of view, of the Consideration to be paid to the shareholders, in the Corporation’s management information circular for the Meeting, as defined below, a copy of which will be mailed to each of the Corporation’s shareholder and will also be available under the company’s profile at www.sedar.com.

The Transaction is subject to the following conditions:
1.completion of satisfactory due diligence by the Buyer;

3.negotiation of an agreement for key management and key employees’ continuation of employment after the completion of the Transaction;
4.shareholder approval;
5.TSXV approval; and

The Transaction will also eliminate the burden of continuing as a reporting issuer. Under applicable securities laws a broad range of regulatory obligations are imposed on companies with public shareholders, including the provision of quarterly financial statements and information to shareholders, mandatory solicitation of proxies for annual meetings, increased insurance costs, transfer agent and stock exchange fees and compliance cost, and shareholder communication costs. These regulatory requirements necessitate the employment of independent accountants, financial consultants, printers, lawyers and other skilled personnel. Management of the Corporation believes that the present and anticipated time and costs entailed in meeting the additional disclosure and other regulatory obligations to which public companies are subject cannot be justified in view of the economic uncertainty and limited upside to shareholders in the future.
Additional information will be dissemination with the execution of the definitive agreement. The Transaction will result in the sale of 100% of the outstanding common shares of the Corporation and the Corporation’s common shares are expected to be delisted shortly after closing the Transaction. The Transaction remains subject to all appliable regulatory and TSXV approvals.
