INVESTMENT AGREEMENT
April 23, 2020
Alumina Partners (Ontario) Ltd. c/o Brookfield Place 181 Bay Street, Suite 1800 Toronto, Ontario M5J 2T9
Subscription for Units
Alumina Partners (Ontario) Ltd. (the � Investor �) proposes to purchase, and Bee Vectoring Technologies International Inc. (the � Company � or the � Issuer �) proposes to sell, on a private placement basis completed in tranches (each a � Tranche �), over a thirty-six (36) month period commencing on the date hereof (the � Term �), Units (as defined below) of the Company comprised of common shares in the capital of the Company (each, a � Common Share �) and Warrants (as defined below). The maximum aggregate purchase price for the Units over the Term is Six Million Dollars (CDN$6,000,000). The proposed issuance of Common Shares and Warrants in each Tranche is sometimes referred to herein as a unit (each a � Unit � and collectively, the � Units �) (collectively the above financing is referred to as the � Offering �). Each Unit issuable pursuant to this Investment Agreement shall be comprised of one (1) Common Share and one (1) Warrant.
Subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Investor agrees to subscribe for Tranches of Units with a value of up to CDN$500,000 (all dollar values shall be in CDN henceforth, unless explicitly provided otherwise) per Tranche over the Term of the Offering. The Issuer may request that the Investor subscribe for a subsequent Tranche of Units five (5) Trading Days (as defined below) following the issuance of the first Tranche (each a � Subsequent Tranche � and, collectively, the � Subsequent Tranches �) and five (5) Trading Days following the issuance of each Subsequent Tranche, subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and waiver by the Investor. Subject to the terms of his Agreement, the value face and timing of each Tranche shall be determined by the mutual agreement of the parties hereto.
The purchase price (� Purchase Price �) for each Unit purchased by the Investor in each Tranche shall be priced at a discount of between 15-25% to the �market price� (� Market Price �) of the Common Shares traded on the facilities of the TSX Venture Exchange (the � Exchange �), or such lesser discount as dictated by the policies of the Exchange governing the discount of private placements. Specifically, the Market Price of the Common Shares for each Tranche shall be defined as the price per Common Share formally protected and reserved by news release or the Compan��s filing of a Price Reservation Form on the Exchange�s Form 4A (� Form 4A �) with the Exchange. The Tranche thus protected must be completed as soon as practicable following the filing of the applicable Form 4A and in accordance with the timeframe contemplated in the conditional acceptance letter issued by the Exchange in connection with the Compan��s filing of a Notice of Private Placement on the Exchange�s Form 4B (� Form 4B �).
In addition, the Investor shall not be required to close a Tranche if the �closing price� of the Common Shares on the Exchange determined as of the close of trading on the Trading Day prior to the Closing Date is below the Market Price in the Form 4A or news release corresponding to such Tranche, subject to Investor waiver.
- 2 -
Furthermore, in no event may the securities issuable to the Investor pursuant to a Tranche, when aggregated with the Common Shares and securities exercisable or convertible into Common Shares held by the Investor on the date of the closing of the particular Tranche, exceed 9.99% of the Compan��s outstanding Common Shares on a partially diluted basis assuming exercise of the Warrants or any other convertible securities of the Issuer held by the Investor.
Warrants
At the closing of each Tranche, the Company shall issue to the Investor an amount of Common Share purchase warrants (each, a � Warrant � and collectively, the � Warrants �) equal to the amount of Common Shares subscribed for by the Investor in connection with such Tranche. Each Warrant shall permit the Investor to acquire one (1) Common Share for 24 months from the date of closing of the applicable Tranche. The Warrants may only be exercised beginning four (4) months and one (1) day following the date upon which such Warrants were issued (the � Warrant Exercise Date �) .
The exercise price of the Warrants (� Warrant Exercise Price �) for each Tranche shall be set at a 25% premium to the Market Price as determined in the corresponding Form 4A or news release for such Tranche. Should the 10-day volume weight average price of the Common Shares, as traded on the Exchange, be equal to or greater than a 100% premium to the Warrant Exercise Price prior to the expiry date of the applicable Warrants, the Company may accelerate the expiry date (� Accelerated Expiry Date �) of the Warrants by providing the Investor with notice (the � Acceleration Notice �) of its election to do so. The Accelerated Expiry Date referenced in an Acceleration Notice may be no earlier than the 30[th] day from the date on which such Accelerated Expiry Date is delivered to the Investor. For greater certainty, the Acceleration Notice may not be delivered to the Investor prior to the Warrant Exercise Date.
Tranches
All Tranches shall be initiated upon the receipt by the Investor of a written notice (� Draw-Down No�ice� ) in the form attached hereto as Schedule B no sooner than five (5) Trading Days following Closing of the previous Tranche.
Upon receipt of a Draw-Down Notice, but subject to the conditions of each Tranche being met in favour of the Investor, the Investor will, as soon as practicable, counter-sign the Draw-Down Notice and send it back to the Company confirming that it accepts such notice or will indicate to the Company that the Investor does not accept the Draw-Down Notice and, if so, provide reasons for such non-acceptance. If the Investor signs back the Draw-Down Notice (accepting its terms), the Company shall immediately file a Form 4A or issue a news release in order to establish the Market Price which will, in turn, determine the Purchase Price for the Common Shares (and the specific Warrant Exercise Price) to be purchased in the Tranche in question.
The Company shall provide the Investor and its counsel with a copy of the Form 4A or news release filed with the Exchange as well as filed the Form 4B and related conditional acceptance letter issued by the Exchange.
In order for a Tranche to be initiated, the following conditions must be met:

-
the Common Shares shall continue to be listed on the Exchange;
