CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This Prospectus contains forward-looking information and forward-looking statements (collectively, "forward-looking statements") that relate to the Company's current expectations and views of future events. In some cases, these forward-looking statements can be identified by words or phrases such as "may", "might", "will", "expect", "anticipate", "estimate", "intend", "plan", "indicate", "seek", "believe", "predict" or "likely", or the negative or grammatical variations of these terms, or other similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements include such words. The Company has based these forward-looking statements on its current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that it believes might affect its financial condition, results of operations, business, prospects and financial needs. These forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements relating to:

  • the current and future rates of growth of the plant-based protein market and our belief as to the primary factors driving growth and consumer preference.

Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of the experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments and other factors it believes are appropriate and are subject to risks and uncertainties. In making the forward-looking statements included in this Prospectus, the Company has made various material assumptions, including but not limited to, the following: (i) investee companies obtaining and maintaining, as applicable, the necessary regulatory approvals; (ii) general business and economic conditions; (iii) the Company's ability to successfully execute its plans and intentions; (iv) the availability of financing on reasonable terms; (v) the Company's and the investee companies' ability to attract and retain skilled management and staff, as applicable; (vi) market competition; (vii) the market for and potential revenues to be derived from the investee companies' products; and (viii) the costs, timing and future plans concerning operations of the Company and/or its investee companies will be consistent with current expectations. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying these statements are reasonable, they may prove to be incorrect, and the Company cannot assure that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. Given these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Whether actual results, performance or achievements will conform to the Company's expectations and predictions is subject to a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, including those listed under "Risk Factors", which include:

  • conflicts of interest may arise between the Company and its directors and management;

  • the realization of returns from the Company's investment activities is a long-term proposition;
  • the Company's investments may be illiquid and difficult to value, and the Company may not be able to exit the investment on its intended timetable;

  • the Company may be called upon to make follow-on investments in an existing investment and the Company's failure to participate may have a negative adverse effect on the existing investment;
  • the Company may make bridge financings from time to time, which if not converted as intended may expose the Company to unintended risk;
  • the Company has made and may continue to make investments in private businesses, including foreign private businesses, where information is unreliable or unavailable;

If any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if assumptions underlying the forwardlooking statements prove incorrect, actual results might materially vary from those anticipated in those forward-looking statements. The assumptions referred to above and described in greater detail under "Risk Factors" should be considered carefully by readers.

Certain of the forward-looking statements and other information contained herein concerning the pharmaceutical industry and the general expectations of the Company concerning the pharmaceutical industry and concerning the Company are based on estimates prepared by the Company using data from publicly available governmental sources as well as from market research and industry analysis and on assumptions based on data and knowledge of this industry which the Company believes to be reasonable. While the Company is not aware of any misstatement regarding any industry or government data presented herein, the pharmaceutical industry involves risks and uncertainties that are subject to change based on various factors and the Company has not independently verified such third-party information.

The Company's forward-looking statements are based on the reasonable beliefs, expectations and opinions of management on the date of this Prospectus (or as of the date they are otherwise stated to be made). Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There is no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and, except as required by applicable law, the Company does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management of the Company to predict all such factors and to assess in advance the impact of each such factor on the business of the Company or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. See "Risk Factors".

All of the forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus are expressly qualified by the foregoing cautionary statements. Investors should read this entire Prospectus and consult their own professional advisors to assess the income tax, legal, and other risk factors, and other aspects, of their investment

THE COMPANY

The Company was incorporated on September 9, 2019, under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) under the name "1222554 B.C. Ltd." On September 17, 2019, it changed its name to "Eat Beyond Global Holdings Inc." Eat Beyond's registered office is located at 1500 – 1055 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 4N7.

The Company is an investment issuer primarily focusing on investments in the plant-based protein and meat alternative food industry. The Company's investments may include the acquisition of equity, debt or other securities of publicly traded or private companies or other entities, financing in exchange for predetermined royalties or distributions and the acquisition of all or part of one or more businesses, portfolios or other assets, in each case that the Company believes will enhance value for the shareholders of the Company in the long term.

As an investment issuer, Eat Beyond intends to invest in companies that understand that consumers want plant-based products but are not willing to make significant sacrifices with respect to taste, texture and health. Consumers are seeking out ethical food sources that have a low carbon footprint. Consumers want plant-based meals and in most cases are willing to bear the cost of shifting away from animal agriculture.

SUMMARY DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

General

The Company believes that plant-based food can help feed the world and is a socially responsible business to support. Plant-based products that can be made available to the mass market will have a great deal of appeal as more people move away from a meat-based diet for health and moral reasons. A plantbased approach to feeding the planet is more sustainable. Consumers recognise that animal protein sourced from the sea and land are getting more difficult to sustain and have an impact on overall health.

As an investment issuer, Eat Beyond intends to invest in companies that understand that consumers want plant-based products but are not willing to make significant sacrifices with respect to taste, texture and health. Consumers are seeking out ethical food sources that have a low carbon footprint. Consumers want delicious plant-based meals and in most cases are willing to bear the cost of shifting away from animal agriculture.

Investment Policy

The Company has adopted an investment policy to govern its investment activities (the "Investment Policy"). The Investment Policy sets out, among other things, the investment objectives and strategy of the Company based on certain fundamental principles.

Investment Objectives

Eat Beyond's primary focus will be to seek high returns by making investments in companies involved in the following spaces:

  • Plant-based protein;
  • Fermented Foods;
  • Cultured Agriculture;
  • Food Technology; and
  • Cell Agriculture.

The Company will generally seek: (a) high return investment opportunities in primarily privately held companies (Series A and B) and early stage publicly traded companies, with a focus on companies operating in the plant-based food products industry; (b) to preserve capital and limit downside risk while achieving a reasonable rate of capital appreciation; and (c) investments that provide liquidity. Surplus working capital funds may also be temporarily invested to general marketable securities.

Although Eat Beyond expects that its investment portfolio will, from time to time, be comprised of securities of both public and private issuers in the plant-based food products area, Eat Beyond may also endeavor to identify compelling investment opportunities in certain other related sectors, including any company providing meat alternatives, plant based or otherwise. Eat Beyond expects its investments will encompass emerging companies in their early stages of development as well as companies that have established and mature businesses.

The Company will also specifically seek to:

  • INVEST in innovation, focusing on growing the alternative protein industry, thereby helping to address the global demand for food security through the efficient creation of animal-free protein.
  • DELIVER ACCESS to this dynamic area of the food industry through quality deals as a result of early mover advantage and the Company's sourcing skills;
  • TARGET medium-term unlevered returns of +20% through investment opportunities with industrial partners working actively with fund investors;
  • DISCOVER 7-10 key equity-linked investments in a range of \$50,000 \$1,000,000 (for aggregate investments of \$3,000,000 - \$5,000,000) over the 48 months following incorporation with a minimum ownership goal of 5% or more;
  • PROVIDE capital for select buy-ins or buy-outs, along with early stage, growth, and expansion opportunities;
  • FOCUS on select geographic areas, including North America, Europe and Israel, and continuing with key Asian and Latin American countries where opportunities are aligned with the Company's objectives; and
  • REALIZE exits though management buy-backs, industry trade sales, and/or public markets.

Investment Strategy

Eat Beyond intends to employ several general guidelines as part of its investment strategy. The Company will primarily focus on seeking high returns by making investments in public and private companies that operate primarily in the plant-based sector. It is expected that such investments shall primarily include growth companies that are revenue generating or are projected to be so in the next six months. The Company may also invest in projects or in equity, debt or other securities of public or private companies in the alternative food industry (plant based or otherwise). Surplus working capital funds may be invested to generate high returns.

Initial investments of equity, debt or a combination thereof may be made through a variety of financial instruments including, but not limited to, private placements, participation in initial public offerings, bridge loans, secured loans, unsecured loans, convertible notes and debentures, warrants and options, royalties, net profit interests and other hybrid instruments, which will be acquired and held both for long-term capital appreciation and shorter-term gains. The nature and timing of Eat Beyond's investments will depend, in part, on available capital at any particular time and the investment opportunities identified and available to Eat Beyond.

A key aspect of the Company's investment strategy will be to seek undervalued companies backed by strong management teams and solid business models that can benefit from macro-economic trends and the strategic relationships that Eat Beyond's management and Board may provide. Notwithstanding this requirement, consideration will be given to opportunities where an investment company's existing management may need the infusion of high-level guidance, direction and expertise from Eat Beyond. In such situations, Eat Beyond intends to work closely with an investment target company's management and board of directors to structure and deliver the strategic and financial resources to help such company capitalize on its prospective or estimated potential and to mature into a successful commercial enterprise.

Where appropriate the Company may act as a third party advisor of opportunities in target or other companies, in exchange for a fee. The Investment Policy shall not permit the Company to invest in physical commodities, "short" sales or other similar transactions.

In general, Eat Beyond expects to be an active partner with its investment companies. The Company's investment committee will generally seek investment situations where the Company takes an active role where such involvement is expected to make a significant difference to the success and resulting appreciation of an investment company. Eat Beyond may seek equity participation, a joint-controlling interest in a target investment and/or management and/or board participation in situations where it can potentially add value through its involvement, not only financially but also by contributing guidance and additional management expertise.

Subject to applicable laws, there are no restrictions on the size or market capitalization with respect to Eat Beyond's investments in the equity securities of public or private issuers. Immediate liquidity shall not be a requirement, but each investment shall be evaluated in terms of a clear exit strategy designed to maximize the relative return of an investment in light of changing fundamentals and opportunities.

All publicly traded securities acquired by Eat Beyond must be held in accounts opened with registered Canadian Financial Institutions. Cash reserves may, from time to time as appropriate, be placed into high quality money market investments, including Canadian Treasury Bills or corporate notes rated at least R-1 by DBRS Limited, each with a term to maturity of less than one year. Surplus working capital funds may also be invested to generate high returns.

All investments will be made in full compliance with applicable laws in relevant jurisdictions, and will be made in accordance with and governed by the rules and policies of applicable regulatory authorities. Investments in private companies or in public companies listed in certain markets may trigger additional filing requirements with the CSE. Where the investment company is not publicly traded on a recognized exchange, advanced notice will be provided to the CSE while the Company is listed on the CSE.

From time to time, the Board may authorize such additional investments outside of the guidelines described herein as its sees fit for the benefit of the Company and its shareholders.

CONSOLIDATED CAPITALIZATION

There have been no material changes in the Company's share and loan capitalization, on a consolidated basis, since March 31, 2021, being the date of the Company's most recently filed consolidated financial statements incorporated by reference in this Prospectus other than:

  • the issuance of 570,000 Common Shares upon the exercise of stock options an exercise price of \$0.50 per Common Share;
  • the issuance of 860,239 Common Share upon the exercise of warrants an exercise prices of \$0.05 per Common Share and \$0.50 per Common Share; and
  • the issuance of 541,270 Common Shares at the price of \$2.09 per Common Shares for gross proceeds of approximately \$1.31 million pursuant to a private placement.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The use of proceeds from the sale of Securities will be described in a Prospectus Supplement relating to a specific issuance of Securities. This information will include the net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Securities, the use of those proceeds and the specific business objectives that the Company expects to accomplish with those proceeds. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company expects net proceeds from the sale of the Securities to be used towards general working capital and further investment opportunities over the next 24 months.

All expenses relating to an offering of Securities and any compensation paid to underwriters, dealers or agents, as the case may be, will be paid out of our general funds, unless otherwise stated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.

The Company has a negative operating cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2020 and for the three months ended March 31, 2021. To the extent that the Company has negative operating cash flow in future periods, it may need to allocate a portion of its cash reserves to fund such negative cash flow. The Company may also be required to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or debt securities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate a positive cash flow from its operations, that additional capital or other types of financing will be available when needed or that these financings will be on terms favourable to the Company.

Certain COVID-19 related risks would delay or slow the implementation of the planned objectives resulting in additional costs for the Company to achieve its business objectives. The extent to which COVID-19 may impact the Company's business activities will depend on future developments, such as the ultimate geographic spread of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions, business disruptions, and the effectiveness of actions taken in Canada, the United States and other countries to contain and treat the disease. As these events are highly uncertain and the Company cannot determine their potential impact on operations at this time. The COVID-19 pandemic may negatively impact the Company's business as a result of government regulations that impact the Company's ability to continue making investments in the plant-based protein and meat alternative food industry, which would influence the amount and timing of planned expenditures, which may adversely impact the Company's business. See "Risk Factors".

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Company and/or any selling securityholders may from time to time during the 25-month period that this Prospectus, including any amendments hereto, remains valid, offer for sale and issue Common Shares, Warrants, Subscription Receipts and Units. During such period, the Company may sell up to \$25,000,000 in the aggregate, of initial offering price of Securities (or the equivalent amount if any Securities are denominated in a currency other than Canadian dollars).

The Company and/or any selling securityholders will sell the Securities to or through underwriters or dealers or purchasers directly or through agents. The Securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices, including sales in transactions that are deemed to be "at-the-market distributions" (as defined in NI 44-102).

A Prospectus Supplement will set forth the terms of the offering, including the name(s) of any underwriters, dealers or agents, the purchase price(s) of the Securities, the proceeds to the Company and/or any selling securityholders from the sale of Securities, any initial public offering price (or the manner of determination thereof if offered on a non-fixed price basis), any underwriting discount or commission and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed or paid by any underwriter to other dealers. Any initial public offering price and any discounts, concessions or omissions allowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.

Underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of the Securities may be entitled under certain agreements to be entered into with the Company and/or any selling securityholders to indemnification by the Company and/or any selling securityholders against certain liabilities, including liabilities under securities legislation or to contribution with respect to payments that they may be required to make in respect thereof. Such underwriters, dealers and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for the Company and/or any selling securityholders in the ordinary course of business.

In connection with any offering of Securities other than an "at-the-market distribution", unless otherwise specified in a Prospectus Supplement, underwriters or agents may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of Securities offered at levels other than those which might otherwise prevail on the open market. Such transactions may be commenced, interrupted or discontinued at any time. No underwriter or dealer involved in an "at-the-market distribution" under this Prospectus, no affiliate of such an underwriter or dealer and no person or company acting jointly or in concert with such underwriter or dealer will over-allot Securities in connection with such distribution or effect any other transactions that are intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities.

The Securities have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or any state securities laws. Accordingly, the Securities may not be offered, sold or delivered within the United States, and each underwriter or agent for any offering of Securities will agree that it will not offer, sell or deliver the Securities within the United States, except pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act provided by Rule 144A thereunder ("Rule 144A") and in compliance with applicable state securities laws. In addition, until 40 days after the commencement of the offering of Securities, any offer or sale of such Securities within the United States by a dealer (whether or not participating in the offering) may violate the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act if such offer or sale is made otherwise than in accordance with Rule 144A.

This Prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the Securities in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in the securities of the Company is speculative and subject to risks and uncertainties. The occurrence of any one or more of these risks or uncertainties could have a material adverse effect on the value of any investment in the Company and the business, prospects, financial position, financial condition or operating results of the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems immaterial may also impair the Company's business operations.

Prospective investors should carefully consider all information contained in this Prospectus, including all documents incorporated by reference, and in particular should give special consideration to the risk factors under the section titled "Risk Factors" in the AIF, which is incorporated by reference in this Prospectus and which may be accessed on the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com, and the information contained in the section entitled "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information". Additionally, purchasers should consider the risk factors set forth below.

The risks and uncertainties described or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus are not the only ones the Company may face. Additional risks and uncertainties that the Company is unaware of, or that the Company currently deems not to be material, may also become important factors that affect the Company. If any such risks actually occur, the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, with the result that the trading price of the Common Shares could decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment.

Use of Proceeds

While information regarding the use of proceeds from the sale the Securities will be described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Company will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from an offering of Securities. Because of the number and variability of factors that will determine the use of such proceeds, the Company's ultimate use might vary substantially from its planned use. Purchasers of Securities may not agree with how the Company allocates or spends the proceeds from an offering of Securities. The Company may pursue acquisitions, collaborations or other opportunities that do not result in an increase in the market value of our securities, including the market value of the Common Shares, and that may increase our losses.

Return on Investment is not Guaranteed

There is no guarantee that an investment in the securities described herein will provide any positive return in the short term or long term. An investment in the securities of the Company is speculative and involves a high degree of risk and should be undertaken only by investors whose financial resources are sufficient to enable them to assume such risks and who have no need for immediate liquidity in their investment. An investment in the securities of the Company described herein is appropriate only for holders who have the capacity to absorb a loss of some or all of their investment.

Negative Cash Flow from Operations

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company had negative cash flow from operating activities, reported a net comprehensive loss of \$1,959,590 and net loss per share of \$0.14. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company had negative cash flow from operating activities, reported a net comprehensive loss of \$965,488 and net loss per share of \$0.04. The Company anticipates it will have negative cash flow from operating activities in future periods. To the extent that the Company has negative cash flow in any future period, certain of the net proceeds from any offering the company undertakes may be used to fund such negative cash flow from operating activities, if any.

No Existing Trading Market (other than for Common Shares)

There is currently no market through which the Securities (other than Common Shares) may be sold and purchasers of such Securities may not be able to resell such Securities purchased under this Prospectus. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop for such Securities after an offering or, if developed, that such market will be sustained. This may affect the pricing of such Securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of such Securities and the extent of issuer regulation. The public offering prices of the Securities may be determined by negotiation between the Company and underwriters based on several factors and may bear no relationship to the prices at which the Securities will trade in the public market subsequent to such offering. See "Plan of Distribution".

Future Sales May Affect the Market Price of the Company Shares.

In order to finance future operations, the Company may determine to raise funds through the issuance of additional Common Shares or the issuance of debt instruments or other securities convertible into Common Shares. The Company cannot predict the size of future issuances of Common Shares or the issuance of debt instruments or other securities convertible into Common Shares or the dilutive effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of the Company's securities will have on the market price of the Common Shares. These sales may have an adverse impact on the market price of the Common Shares.

Epidemics/Pandemics and other Public Health Crises

The Company is vulnerable to the general economic effects of epidemics/pandemics and other public health crises, such as COVID-19. Due to the recent outbreak of COVID-19, there has been a substantial curtailment of travel and business activities, globally. A number of countries have also limited the shipment of products in and out of their borders, which could negatively impact supply chains. If not resolved quickly, the impact of COVID-19 could have a material adverse effect on the Company's investments.

INTEREST OF MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS

Other than disclosed in this Prospectus, there are no material interest, direct or indirect, of the directors or officers of the Company, any shareholder that beneficially owns more than 10% of the Common Shares or any associate or affiliate of any the foregoing persons in any transaction within the last three years or any proposed transaction that has materially affected or would materially affect the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

CERTAIN INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The applicable Prospectus Supplement may describe certain Canadian federal income tax consequences generally applicable to investors described therein of acquiring Securities, including, in the case of an investor who is not a resident of Canada, Canadian non-resident withholding tax consideration.

LEGAL MATTERS AND INTEREST OF EXPERTS

Certain legal matters relating to an offering of the Securities will be passed upon by McMillan LLP, on behalf of the Company. As at the date hereof, the partners and associates of McMillan LLP, as a group beneficially own, directly or indirectly, less than one percent of the outstanding Common Shares of the Company. In addition, certain legal matters in connection with any offering of Securities will be passed upon for any underwriters, dealers or agents by counsel to be designated at the time of the offering by such underwriters, dealers or agents with respect to matters of Canadian and, if applicable, United States or other foreign law.

EXEMPTIONS

Pursuant to a decision of the Autorité des marchés financiers dated July 7, 2021, the Company was granted a permanent exemption from the requirement to translate into French this Prospectus as well as the documents incorporated by reference therein and any Prospectus Supplement to be filed in relation to an "at-the-market distribution". This exemption is granted on the condition that this Prospectus and any Prospectus Supplement (other than in relation to an "at-the-market distribution") be translated into French if the Company offers Securities to Québec purchasers in connection with an offering other than in relation to an "at-the-market distribution".

AUDITORS, TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

The auditors of the Company are Davidson & Company LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants, Vancouver, British Columbia.

The Company's Registrar and Transfer Agent is Olympia Trust Company, located in Vancouver, British Columbia.

PURCHASERS' CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS

Original purchasers of Warrants which are convertible into other securities of the Company will have a contractual right of rescission against the Company in respect of the conversion, exchange or exercise of such Warrants. The contractual right of rescission will entitle such original purchasers to receive the amount paid upon conversion, exchange or exercise, upon surrender of the underlying securities gained thereby, in the event that this Prospectus (as supplemented or amended) contains a misrepresentation, provided that: (i) the conversion, exchange or exercise takes place within 180 days of the date of the purchase of the convertible, exchangeable or exercisable security under this Prospectus; and (ii) the right of rescission is exercised within 180 days of the date of the purchase of the convertible, exchangeable or exercisable security under this Prospectus. This contractual right of rescission will be consistent with the statutory right of rescission described under section 130 of the Securities Act (British Columbia), and is in addition to any other right or remedy available to original purchasers under section 130 of the Securities Act (British Columbia) or otherwise at law.

Original purchasers are further advised that in certain provinces or territories the statutory right of action for damages in connection with a prospectus misrepresentation is limited to the amount paid for the convertible, exchangeable or exercisable security that was purchased under a prospectus, and therefore a further payment at the time of conversion, exchange or exercise may not be recoverable in a statutory action for damages. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the province in which the purchaser resides for the particulars of these rights, or consult with a legal advisor.

PURCHASERS' STATUTORY RIGHTS

Securities legislation in certain of the provinces and territories of Canada provides purchasers with the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase securities. This right may be exercised within two business days after receipt or deemed receipt of a prospectus and any amendment. In several of the provinces and/or territories, securities legislation further provides a purchaser with remedies for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price or damages if the prospectus and any amendment contains a misrepresentation or is not delivered to the purchaser, provided that the remedies for rescission, revision or the price or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser's province or territory. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser's province or territory for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal advisor.
