The Company will grant the Underwriters an option to acquire up to an additional 15% of the total number of Units sold under the Offering for over-allotment and market stabilization purposes, which option is exercisable in whole or in part at the discretion of the Underwriters for a period of 30 days from and including the Closing.
The net proceeds from the Offering will be used for research and development, interest repayment and for working capital and general corporate purposes.
The Units will be offered by way of a short form prospectus to be filed with the securities commissions and other similar regulatory authorities in each of the provinces of Canada (except Québec), pursuant to National Instrument 44-101 Short Form Prospectus Distributions, and in those jurisdictions where the Offering can lawfully be made including in the United States on a private placement basis pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
