Outstanding securities convertible or exercisable into Common Shares will also be adjusted by the Consolidation ratio, and the exercise price of such securities will be adjusted accordingly.

As of the date hereof and prior to giving effect to the proposed Consolidation, the Company has 84,523,240 pre‑Consolidation Shares issued and outstanding. Following the Consolidation, the Company will have approximately 5,634,882 post-Consolidation Shares issued and outstanding. Each fractional Share remaining after Consolidation that is less than 1/2 of one Share shall be cancelled and each fractional Share that is at least 1/2 of one Share shall be rounded up to one whole Share.

Completion of the Consolidation is subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of Company's shareholders, and approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Company will not be changing its name or stock symbol in connection with the Consolidation.
