Share Consolidation

The Company also announces that the board of directors of the Company has approved the consolidation ratio for the proposed consolidation of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares on the basis one new common share for every 38 existing common shares (the “Consolidation”).

As a result of the Consolidation, the 759,692,495 common shares issued and outstanding prior to the Consolidation will be reduced to approximately 19,991,907 common shares. Each shareholder’s percentage ownership in the Company and proportional voting power remains unchanged after the Consolidation, except for minor changes and adjustments resulting from the treatment of any fractional common shares.

Furthermore, 148,656,000 options and 106,255,498 common share warrants, prior to the Consolidation have been reduced to approximately 3,912,000 options, and approximately 2,796,197 common share warrants, respectively, as a result of the Consolidation.

The Company will not be issuing fractional post-Consolidation common shares. Where the Consolidation would otherwise result in a shareholder being entitled to a fractional common shares, the number of post-Consolidation common shares issued to such shareholder shall be rounded either up or down to the next highest or lowest number of the whole consolidated Common Shares, as the case may be.

Shareholder approval of the Consolidation was obtained at the Meeting. In connection with the Consolidation, the Company expects to send letters of transmittal to registered holders of its common shares for use in transmitting their existing share certificates (“Existing Certificates”) to the Company’s registrar and transfer agent, Odyssey Trust Company, in exchange for new certificates (“New Certificates”) representing the number of post-Consolidation common shares to which such shareholder is entitled as a result of the Consolidation. No delivery of a New Certificate to a shareholder will be made until the shareholder has surrendered its Existing Certificates. Until surrendered, each Existing Certificate shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of post-Consolidation common shares to which the holder is entitled as a result of the Consolidation.

The Consolidation is subject to the approval of the CBOE Canada. The Company expects the Consolidation to be effective and the trading of the common shares of the Company reflecting the Consolidation to commence on or about September 19, 2024.
