The net proceeds from the Private Placement will be used in connection with continued operations of the Company, payment of outstanding debts, examining what financial and strategic alternatives may be available to the Company and towards general and administrative expenses. As stated in the Company’s February 21, 2020 press release, a strategic review is being conducted by the Company. While the Company’s preference at this time is a transaction or alternative that will take advantage of the talents and expertise of the current management and Board of Directors, there can be no assurance that this strategic review will result in the completion of any transaction or other alternative, or that a transaction, if pursued, will be completed.  The Company has not set a timetable for completion of the review process, and it does not intend to comment further regarding the process unless a specific transaction or other alternative is approved by the Board of Directors or it is otherwise determined that further disclosure is appropriate or required by law.

In connection with the Private Placement, the Company has agreed to pay (i) Smaller Company Capital Ltd. a cash finder’s fee equal to 4% of the gross proceeds raised in respect of the aggregate sales to subscribers under the Private Placement that were introduced by Smaller Company Capital Ltd. (up to $45,690); and (ii) Canaccord Genuity Corp. a cash finder’s fee equal to 4% of the gross proceeds raised in respect of the aggregate sales to subscribers under the Private Placement that were introduced by Canaccord Genuity Corp.
