further to the previously announced statutory plan of arrangement
(the “

ABLOY Canada Inc. (the “
Purchaser”), a subsidiary
within the ASSA ABLOY Group, an interim order of the British
Columbia Supreme Court (the “
Interim Order”) has
been obtained. The Interim Order provides for, among other things,
the calling and the holding of a special meeting (the

Arrangement. The granting of the Interim Order was a condition to
the completion of the Arrangement.
The Meeting is scheduled to be held at 11:00

Technology Park, 2201-4464 Markham Street, Victoria, British
Columbia. The record date for the Meeting is January 27, 2022. The
notice of special meeting and management information circular (the
“Circular”) relating the Meeting will be mailed to
Securityholders in due course. A copy of the Circular will also be
available under Vigil’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. All
Securityholders are urged to read the Circular once it is
available.
If approved by Securityholders, and subject to
the final court approval and satisfaction or waiver of conditions
to closing, including receipt of the final approval of the TSX
Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”), the Purchaser will
acquire all of the Common Shares of Vigil at a price of $0.67 per
share in cash. The total equity value of the transaction is
approximately $12.55 million. The transaction is expected to close
