All securities issued in connection with the Offering will have a hold period of four months plus one day from the closing date of the Offering.

Upon closing of the Offering, the net proceeds from the Offering will be used to fund cash closing costs associated with the Transaction, inventory expansion and general working capital purposes.

Finder's fees comprised of 7% cash and 7% non-transferable share purchase warrants may be paid in connection with the Offering. Any finders' fees will be payable in accordance with the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange. Management anticipates the Offering will close on or about June 24, 2016.
