The balance of the Second Tranche financing will be completed in one or more closings in due course.

As a result of Liminar's acquisition of 3,210,640 common shares, Liminar now owns and controls an aggregate of 29,176,344 common shares, representing approximately 21.8% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company. Under applicable securities laws and the rules of the TSX Venture Exchange, the common shares are subject to a four month hold period expiring on June 28, 2015.
