In connection with the Private Placement, the Company issued 236,100 finder’s warrants (each a “Finder’s Warrant”) and paid cash commissions of $53,303 to certain finders. Each Finder’s Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share of the Company at a price of $0.23 per Common Share for a period of two (2) years from the date of issuance.
