Market for Securities

As at the date of this prospectus, the Corporation does not have any of its securities listed or quoted, has not applied to list or quote any of its securities, and does not intend to apply to list or quote any of its securities, on the Toronto Stock Exchange, Aequitas NEO Exchange Inc., a U.S. marketplace, or a marketplace outside Canada and the United States of America (other than the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange or the PLUS markets operated by PLUS Markets Group plc).

The Corporation has applied to list the Common Shares on the Exchange. Listing will be subject to the Corporation fulfilling all of the requirements of the Exchange, including distribution of the Common Shares to a minimum number of public securityholders.

Other than the initial distribution of the Common Shares pursuant to this prospectus, the grant of the Agent’s Option and the grant of options to the directors and officers of the Corporation, trading in all securities of the Corporation is prohibited during the period between the date a receipt for the preliminary prospectus is issued by the securities commission that is designated the principal regulator pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 11-102 - Passport System (“ MI 11-102 ”) and National Policy 11-202 - Process for Prospectus Reviews in Multiple Jurisdictions (“ NP 11-202 ”) and the time the Common Shares are listed for trading except, subject to prior acceptance of the Exchange, where appropriate registration and prospectus exemptions are available under securities legislation or where the applicable securities commission grants a discretionary order.

Risk Factors

There is no market through which the Common Shares offered by this prospectus may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell the Common Shares purchased under this prospectus. This may affect the pricing of the Common Shares in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the Common Shares, and the extent of issuer regulation. See “Risk Factors”.

Investment in the Common Shares offered by this prospectus is highly speculative due to the proposed nature of the Corporation’s business and its present stage of development. The Offering is suitable only to those investors who are prepared to risk the loss of their entire investment. See “Risk Factors”.

Upon completion of the Offering, purchasers will suffer an immediate dilution (based on the gross proceeds from this and prior issues without deduction of selling and related expenses) per Common Share of approximately $0.018 or 18% if the Offering is completed. The Corporation does not currently own any assets other than cash.

The business objective of the Corporation is to identify and evaluate assets or businesses with a view to completing the Qualifying Transaction and in the case of a Non-Arm’s Length Qualifying Transaction, Majority of the Minority Approval of the Corporation’s shareholders; however, there can be no assurance that the Corporation will be able to identify or successfully complete the Qualifying Transaction. The Corporation has commenced the process of identifying potential acquisitions, but to date, the Corporation has not identified any potential acquisitions. The Corporation may determine that current markets, terms of acquisition, or pricing conditions make such potential acquisitions uneconomic. The Corporation may find that even if the terms of a potential acquisition are economic, the Corporation may not be able to finance such acquisition and additional funds may be required. The Qualifying Transaction may involve the acquisition of a business located outside of Canada and, as such, investors should be aware that it may be difficult or may not be possible to effect service or notice to commence legal proceedings upon any directors, officers and experts outside of Canada and that it may not be possible to enforce against such persons or companies, judgments obtained in Canadian courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions of applicable securities laws in Canada. Where the investment or acquisition is financed by the issuance of shares from the Corporation’s treasury, control of the Corporation may change and shareholders may suffer further dilution of their investment. The Corporation will be in competition with other entities with greater resources.

The Corporation does not currently own any assets other than cash. The Corporation has neither a history of earnings nor has it paid any dividends and it is unlikely to generate earnings or pay dividends in the immediate or foreseeable future. Investors must rely solely on the expertise of the Corporation’s Promoter, as hereinafter defined, directors and officers for any possible return on their investment.

The Corporation’s directors, officers and, as applicable, Control Persons, as hereinafter defined, and their Associates, as hereinafter defined, and Affiliates, as hereinafter defined, as a group, beneficially own or control, directly or indirectly, 2,000,000 Common Shares, which represents 54.8% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares before giving

LEGAL*53010697.1

  • iii -

effect to the Offering, and 35.4% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares in the event the Offering is completed. The directors and officers of the Corporation will only devote part of their time to the affairs of the Corporation and there are potential conflicts of interest to which some of the directors and officers of the Corporation will be subject in connection with the operations of the Corporation. See “Business of the Corporation”, “Use of Proceeds”, “Capitalization”, “Officers, Directors and Promoters”, “Dilution”, “Risk Factors” and “Conflicts of Interest”.

Maximum Investment

Research Capital Corporation (previously defined as the “ Agent ”), as agent, hereby conditionally offers these Common Shares, on a “commercially reasonable efforts” basis, if, as and when subscriptions are accepted by the Corporation, subject to prior sale, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agency Agreement referred to under “Plan of Distribution” and subject to the approval of certain legal matters by Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, on behalf of the Corporation and by Vantage Law Corporation, on behalf of the Agent.

The number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under the Option Plan may not exceed 10% of the total issued and outstanding Common Shares at the time of issuance. The Share Options will vest immediately and each Share Option will be exercisable into one Common Share at $0.10 per Common Share for a period of ten years. See “Other Securities to be Distributed” and “Options to Purchase Securities”.

Use of Proceeds: The net proceeds of the Offering to the Corporation will be $180,000. The net proceeds of the Offering plus the proceeds from prior sales of Common Shares will be used to provide the Corporation with funds with which to identify and evaluate assets or businesses for acquisition with a view to completing the Qualifying Transaction. The Corporation may not have sufficient funds to secure such businesses or assets once identified and evaluated and additional funds may be required. See “Use of Proceeds” for details of the restrictions and prohibitions on the Corporation’s use of funds, “Business of the Corporation” and “Risk Factors”.

Management and Directors: Doug McFaul – Director, CEO, CFO, President and Corporate Secretary

Brent Ackerman – Director

Rick Cox – Director

Doug McFaul is considered to be the Promoter of the Corporation. See “Directors, Officers and Promoters” and “Promoter”.

Escrowed Securities: The 2,000,000 Common Shares issued to the founders, have been deposited in escrow, and all of the Share Options, being 565,000 will be deposited in escrow, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement and will be released from escrow in stages over a period of 18 months after the date of the Final QT Exchange Bulletin. See “Escrowed Securities” and “Options to Purchase Securities”

Risk Factors: Investment in the Common Shares must be regarded as highly speculative due to the proposed nature of the Corporation’s business and its present stage of development. The Corporation was only recently incorporated and has no active business or assets other than cash. It does not have a history of earnings, nor has it paid any dividends and will not generate earnings or pay dividends until at least after the Completion of the Qualifying Transaction. The Offering is only suitable to investors who are prepared to rely entirely on the directors and management of the Corporation and can afford to risk the loss of their

LEGAL*53010697.1

9

entire investment. The directors and officers of the Corporation will only devote part of their time and attention to the affairs of the Corporation and there are potential conflicts of interest to which some of the directors and officers of the Corporation will be subject in connection with the operations of the Corporation. Assuming completion of the Offering, an investor will suffer an immediate dilution on investment of approximately 18% or $0.018 per Common Share. There can be no assurance that an active and liquid market for the Common Shares will develop and an investor may find it difficult to resell the Common Shares. Until Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, the Corporation will not carry on any business other than the identification and evaluation of assets or businesses with a view to completing the Qualifying Transaction. The Corporation has only limited funds with which to identify and evaluate possible Qualifying Transactions and there can be no assurance that the Corporation will be able to identify or complete a suitable Qualifying Transaction. The Qualifying Transaction may involve the acquisition of a business or assets located outside of Canada. It may therefore be difficult or impossible to effect service or notice to commence legal proceedings upon any directors, officers and experts outside of Canada and it may not be possible to enforce against such persons or companies judgments obtained in Canadian courts predicated upon the civil liability provisions applicable to securities laws in Canada. See “Business of the Corporation”, “Use of Proceeds”, “Officers, Directors and Promoters”, “Capitalization”, “Dilution”, “Plan of Distribution”, “Risk Factors” and “Conflicts of Interest”.

  • 10 -

THE CORPORATION

The Corporation was incorporated on January 14, 2021 by a Certificate of Incorporation issued pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) under the name “ECC Ventures 4 Corp.”.

The head office of the Corporation is located at 1600-609 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V7Y 1C3 and the registered office of the Corporation is located at Suite 2200 – 885 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 3E8.

BUSINESS OF THE CORPORATION

Preliminary Expenses

Other than the corporate finance fee of the Agent of $12,600 (inclusive of GST), part of the agent’s legal fees of up to $9,000 (exclusive of disbursements and taxes), audit and audit related fees of $7,875 (inclusive of GST), and the payment of the minimum listing fee to the Exchange of $15,750 (inclusive of GST), the Corporation has not incurred any additional expenses to date in proceeding with the Offering. However, certain of the Offering proceeds will be utilized to satisfy the obligations of the Corporation related to the Offering, including the expenses of its auditor and legal expenses of the Corporation and the Agent. See “Use of Proceeds”.

Proposed Operations until Completion of the Qualifying Transaction

The Corporation proposes to identify and evaluate businesses and assets with a view to completing the Qualifying Transaction. Any proposed Qualifying Transaction must be accepted by the Exchange and in the case of a Non-Arm’s Length Qualifying Transaction is also subject to Majority of the Minority Approval in accordance with the CPC Policy. The Corporation has not conducted commercial operations. The Corporation is not specifically considering pursuing a company, asset or business in any specific business or industry sector, or in any particular geographical area, and the Corporation anticipates reviewing companies, assets and businesses in a broad range of industry sectors and geographical areas.

Until Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, the Corporation will not carry on any business other than the identification and evaluation of businesses or assets with a view to completing a potential Qualifying Transaction. With the consent of the Exchange, this may include the raising of additional funds in order to finance an acquisition. Except as described under “Use of Proceeds”, the funds raised pursuant to the Offering and any subsequent financing will be utilized only for the identification and evaluation of potential Qualifying Transactions and not for any deposit, loan or direct investment in a potential acquisition.

Although the Corporation has commenced the process of identifying potential acquisitions with a view to completing the Qualifying Transaction, the Corporation has not yet entered into an Agreement in Principle.

Method of Financing

The Corporation may use cash, bank financing, the issuance of treasury shares, public debt or equity financing or a combination of these for the purpose of financing its proposed Qualifying Transaction. A Qualifying Transaction financed by the issue of treasury shares could result in a change in the control of the Corporation and may cause the shareholders’ interest in the Corporation to be further diluted.

Criteria for the Qualifying Transaction

The Corporation will consider acquisitions of assets or businesses operated or located both inside and outside of Canada, as permitted by the CPC Policy. All potential acquisitions will be screened initially by management of the Corporation to determine their economic viability.

The board of directors will examine proposed acquisitions having regard to sound business fundamentals and to the expertise and experience of the directors. The board of directors of the Corporation must approve any proposed Qualifying Transaction. In exercising their powers and discharging their duties in relation to a proposed Qualifying Transaction, the directors will act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation and will exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances.

Filings and Shareholder Approval of a Qualifying Transaction

Upon the Corporation reaching a Qualifying Transaction Agreement, the Corporation must issue a comprehensive news release, at which time the Exchange generally will halt trading in the Common Shares until the filing requirements of the Exchange have been satisfied as set forth under “Trading Halts, Suspensions and Delisting”. Within 75 days

LEGAL*53010697.1

11

after issuance of such news release, the Corporation shall be required to submit for review to the Exchange a Disclosure Document that complies with Exchange requirements containing prospectus level disclosure of the Significant Assets and the Corporation, assuming Completion of the Qualifying Transaction. Where the proposed Qualifying Transaction is a Non-Arm’s Length Qualifying Transaction, the Corporation must obtain Majority of the Minority Approval of the Qualifying Transaction. Where the proposed Qualifying Transaction is not a Non-Arm’s Length Qualifying Transaction, the Exchange will not require the Corporation to obtain Shareholder approval of the Qualifying Transaction provided that it files the CPC Filing Statement or a Prospectus.

Once the Conditional Acceptance Documents have been accepted for filing, the Exchange will advise the Corporation that it is cleared to file the final Disclosure Document on SEDAR and:

  1. where Shareholder approval of the Qualifying Transaction is not required, the Corporation must file the final CPC Filing Statement or Prospectus on SEDAR at least seven business days prior to:

  2. a. the resumption of trading in the securities of the Resulting Issuer following the Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, if the securities of the Corporation are halted from trading; or

  3. b. the Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, if the securities of the Corporation are not halted from trading;

  4. where Shareholder approval is required and is to be obtained at a meeting of Shareholders, the Corporation will file on SEDAR and mail to its Shareholders the notice of meeting, CPC Information Circular and form of proxy, together with any other required documents; and

  5. where Shareholder approval is required and is to be obtained by written consent, the Corporation will file on SEDAR the final Disclosure Document.

If required by the Exchange, the Corporation will retain a Sponsor, who must be a Member of the Exchange or a Participating Organization of the Toronto Stock Exchange, and who will be required to submit to the Exchange a Sponsor Report prepared in accordance with the Policies of the Exchange. The Corporation will no longer be considered to be a CPC upon the Exchange having issued the Final QT Exchange Bulletin. The Exchange will generally not issue the Final QT Exchange Bulletin until the Exchange has received:

  1. confirmation of Shareholder approval of the Qualifying Transaction, if required;

  2. confirmation of closing of the Qualifying Transaction; and

  3. all post-meeting or final documentation, as applicable, otherwise required to be filed with the Exchange pursuant to the CPC Policy.

Upon issuance of the Final QT Exchange Bulletin, the CPC Policy will generally cease to apply, with the exception of the escrow provisions of the CPC Policy.

Initial Listing Requirements

The Resulting Issuer must satisfy the Exchange’s Initial Listing Requirements for the particular industry sector in either Tier 1 or Tier 2 as prescribed under the applicable policies of the Exchange.

Trading Halts, Suspensions and Delisting

The Exchange will generally halt trading in the Common Shares from the date of the public announcement of a Qualifying Transaction Agreement until all filing requirements of the Exchange have been satisfied, which includes the submission of a Sponsorship Acknowledgment Form where the Qualifying Transaction is subject to sponsorship. In addition, personal information forms, or, if applicable, declarations for all individuals who may be directors, senior officers, Promoters, or Insiders of the Resulting Issuer must be filed with the Exchange and any preliminary background searches that the Exchange considers necessary or advisable must also be completed before the trading halt will be lifted by the Exchange.

Even if all filing requirements have been satisfied and preliminary background checks completed, the Exchange may continue or reinstate a halt in trading of the Common Shares for public policy reasons including:

  1. the unacceptable nature of the business of the Resulting Issuer; or

LEGAL*53010697.1

12

  1. the number of conditions precedent to, or the nature and number of deficiencies required to be resolved prior to, Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, are so significant or numerous as to make it appear to the Exchange that the halt should be reinstated or continued.

A trading halt may also be imposed by the Exchange where the Corporation fails to file the supporting documents relating to the Qualifying Transaction within a period of 75 days after public announcement of the Qualifying Transaction Agreement or if the Corporation fails to file post-meeting or final documents, as applicable, within the time required. A trading halt may also be imposed if a Sponsor terminates its sponsorship.

In the event that the Common Shares are delisted by the Exchange, within 90 days from the date of such delisting, the Corporation shall wind up and shall make a pro rata distribution of its remaining assets to its shareholders, unless shareholders, pursuant to a majority vote exclusive of the votes of Non-Arm’s Length Parties to the Corporation, determine to deal with the issuer or its remaining assets in some other manner. See “Filings and Shareholder Approval of a Non-Arm’s Length Qualifying Transaction.”

Refusal of Qualifying Transaction

The Exchange, in its sole discretion, may not accept a Qualifying Transaction where:

  1. the Resulting Issuer fails to satisfy the applicable Initial Listing Requirements of the Exchange;

  2. the Resulting Issuer will be a mutual fund, as defined in the securities legislation; or

  3. notwithstanding the definition of a Qualifying Transaction, there is any other reason for denying acceptance of the Qualifying Transaction.

There is no assurance that the foregoing Agent’s Option or Share Options will be exercised.

The total dollar amount of funds available upon completion of the Offering will be $365,650.

Until required for the Corporation’s purposes, the proceeds will only be invested in securities of, or those guaranteed by, the Government of Canada or any province or territory of Canada or the Government of the United States of America, in certificates of deposit or interest-bearing accounts of Canadian chartered banks, trust companies or credit unions.

LEGAL*53010697.1

Generally, the only securities issuable pursuant to such a private placement will be Common Shares and Agent’s Options. Subject to certain limited exceptions, any Common Shares issued pursuant to the private placement to Non-Arm’s Length Parties to the Corporation and to Principals of the Resulting Issuer will be subject to escrow.

Any holding company must sign an undertaking to the Exchange that, to the extent reasonably possible, it will not permit or authorize securities to be issued or transferred if it could reasonably result in a change of control of the holding company. In addition, the Exchange may require an undertaking from any control person of the holding company not to transfer the shares of that company.

Under the Escrow Agreement:

  • a) all Share Options granted prior to the date of the Final QT Exchange Bulletin and all Common Shares that were issued pursuant to the exercise of such Share Options prior to the date of the Final QT Exchange Bulletin will be released from escrow on the date of the Final QT Exchange Bulletin, other than Share Options that were granted prior to the Offering with an exercise price that is less than the issue price of the Common Shares under this prospectus and any Common Shares that were issued pursuant to the exercise of such Share Options which will be released from escrow in accordance with (b);

If a Final QT Exchange Bulletin is not issued, the escrowed Common Shares will not be released. Under the Escrow Agreement, upon the issuance by the Exchange of a bulletin delisting the Corporation, the Transfer Agent is irrevocably authorized to:

  1. immediately cancel all of the escrowed Common Shares held by each Non-Arm’s Length Party to the Corporation that were issued at a price below the Offering price under this prospectus and all Share Options and common shares issued upon exercise of Share Options held by such persons; and

  2. no commissions or other extraordinary consideration will be paid to such directors and officers; and

  3. business opportunities formulated by or through other entities in which the directors and officers are involved should not be offered to the Corporation except on the same or better terms than the basis on which they are offered to third party participants.

The performance evaluation by the Committee shall be conducted in such manner as the Committee deems appropriate. The report to the Board may take the form of an oral report by the Chair or any other member of the Committee designated by the Committee to make this report.

  • (b) A summary of the actions taken at each Committee meeting, which shall be presented to the Board at the next Board meeting.

Item 2: Composition of the Audit Committee

National Instrument 52-110 Audit Committees, (“ NI 52-110 ”) provides that a member of an audit committee is "independent" if the member has no direct or indirect material relationship with the Corporation, which could, in the view of the Corporation's Board, reasonably interfere with the exercise of the member's independent judgment.

NI 52-110 provides that an individual is “financially literate” if he or she has the ability to read and understand a set of financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of the issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Corporation's financial statements. The following sets out the members of the audit committee and their education and experience that is relevant to the performance of his responsibilities as an audit committee member.

The current members of the Audit Committee are Doug McFaul, Brent Ackerman and Rick Cox, all of whom are financially literate as defined by NI 52-110, with Messrs. Brent Ackerman and Rick Cox acting as independent directors.

Item 3: Relevant Education and Experience

The Instrument provides that an individual is “financially literate” if he or she has the ability to read and understand a set of financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of the issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Corporation’s financial statements.

All current and proposed members of the Audit Committee have received relevant education in financial literacy and have been involved in enterprises which publicly report financial results, each of which requires a working understanding of, and ability to analyze and assess, financial information (including financial statements).

Further, each member has the requisite education and experience that has provided the member with:

  • (a) an understanding of the accounting principles used by the Corporation to prepare the Corporation's financial statements;

  • (b) the ability to assess the general application of the above-noted principles in connection with estimates, accruals and reserves;

  • (c) experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Corporation's financial statements, or experience actively supervising individuals engaged in such activities; and

  • (d) an understanding of internal controls and procedures for financial reporting.

Item 4: Audit Committee Oversight

At no time since incorporation was a recommendation of the Audit Committee to nominate or compensate an external auditor not adopted by the Board.

LEGAL*53010697.1

Item 5: Reliance on Certain Exemptions

Item 6: Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee has not adopted formal policies and procedures for the engagement of non-audit services. Subject to the requirements of the NI 52-110, the engagement of non-audit services is considered by, as applicable, the Board and the Audit Committee, on a case by case basis.

Item 7: External Auditor Service Fees (By Category)

The following table sets out the aggregate fees charged to the Corporation by the external auditor since incorporation of the Corporation for the category of fees described.

Following Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, it is anticipated that the Corporation shall pay compensation to its directors and officers.

PROMOTER

Doug McFaul may be considered to be the Promoter of the Corporation in that he took initiative in establishing the Corporation.

DILUTION

Purchasers of Common Shares under this prospectus will suffer an immediate dilution of approximately $0.018 per Common Share or 18% if the Offering is completed. Dilution has been computed on the basis of there being 5,650,000 Common Shares issued and outstanding following completion of the Offering and total gross proceeds to be raised by this prospectus and from sales of securities prior to filing of this prospectus, without deduction of commissions or related expenses incurred by the Corporation.

RISK FACTORS

Investment in the Common Shares must be regarded as highly speculative and there are a number of risks inherent in making such an investment. The following are some of the risk factors associated with the Corporation:

  1. the Corporation was only recently incorporated, has not commenced commercial operations and has no assets other than cash. It has no history of earnings, and shall not generate earnings or pay dividends until at least after Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, see “Business of the Corporation” and “Use of Proceeds”;

  2. investment in the Common Shares offered by the prospectus is highly speculative given the proposed nature of the Corporation’s business and present stage of development, see “Business of Corporation”;

  3. the directors and officers of the Corporation will only devote a portion of their time to the business and affairs of the Corporation and some of them are or will be engaged in other projects or businesses such that conflicts of interest may arise from time to time, see “Officers and Directors”;

  4. assuming completion of the Offering, an investor will suffer an immediate dilution to its investment of approximately $0.018 or 18% per Common Share, see “Dilution”;

  5. there is no market through which the Common Shares offered by this prospectus may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell the Common Shares purchased under this prospectus. This may affect the pricing of the Common Shares in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the Common Shares and the extent of issuer regulation.

  6. there can be no assurance that an active and liquid market for the Corporation’s Common Shares will develop and an investor may find it difficult to resell its Common Shares;

  7. until Completion of the Qualifying Transaction, the Corporation is not permitted to carry on any business other than the identification and evaluation of potential Qualifying Transactions, see “Business of the Corporation”;

LEGAL*53010697.1

32

  1. the Corporation has only limited funds with which to identify and evaluate potential Qualifying Transactions and there can be no assurance that the Corporation will be able to identify a suitable Qualifying Transaction, see “Plan of Distribution”;

  2. even if a proposed Qualifying Transaction is identified, there can be no assurance that the Corporation will be able to successfully complete the transaction, see “Business of the Corporation”;

  3. Completion of the Qualifying Transaction is subject to a number of conditions including acceptance by the Exchange and, in the case of a Non-Arm’s Length Qualifying Transaction, Majority of the Minority Approval, see “Business of the Corporation”;

  4. unless the shareholder has the right to dissent and be paid fair value in accordance with applicable corporate or other law, a shareholder who votes against a proposed Non-Arm’s Length Qualifying Transaction for which Majority of the Minority Approval by shareholders has been given, will have no rights of dissent and no entitlement to payment by the Corporation of fair value for the Common Shares, see “Business of the Corporation”;

  5. upon public announcement of a proposed Qualifying Transaction, trading in the Common Shares (if listed on the Exchange) will be halted and will remain halted for an indefinite period of time, typically until a Sponsor has been retained (if required) and certain preliminary reviews have been conducted. If listed on the Exchange, the Common Shares may be reinstated to trading before the Exchange has reviewed the transaction and before the Sponsor has completed its full review. Reinstatement to trading provides no assurance with respect to the merits of the transaction or the likelihood of the Corporation completing the proposed Qualifying Transaction, see “Business of the Corporation”;

  6. if listed on the Exchange, trading in the Common Shares may be halted at other times for other reasons, including for failure by the Corporation to submit documents to the Exchange in the time periods required, see “Business of the Corporation”;

  7. neither the Exchange nor any securities regulatory authority passes upon the merits of the proposed Qualifying Transaction;

  8. in the event that management of the Corporation resides outside of Canada or the Corporation identifies a foreign business as a proposed Qualifying Transaction, investors may find it difficult or impossible to effect service or notice to commence legal proceedings upon any management resident outside of Canada or upon the foreign business and may find it difficult or impossible to enforce against such persons, judgments obtained in Canadian courts;

  9. the Qualifying Transaction may be financed in whole or in part by the issuance of additional securities by the Corporation and this may result in further dilution to the investor, which dilution may be significant and which may also result in a change of control of the Corporation; and

  10. subject to prior acceptance by the Exchange, the Corporation may be permitted to loan or advance up to the greater of $250,000 and 20% of its working capital to a target business without shareholder approval and there can be no assurance that the Corporation will be able to recover that loan, see “Use of Proceeds”; and

  11. if the Corporation does not list the Common Shares on the Exchange prior to the time of Closing or does not make an election to be a “public corporation” for purposes of the Tax Act in the manner contemplated under “Eligibility for Investment”, adverse tax consequences will arise with respect to any Common Shares held in RRSPs, RRIFs, TFSAs or other deferred plans.

As a result of these factors, the Offering is only suitable to investors who are willing to rely solely on management of the Corporation and who can afford to lose their entire investment. Those investors who are not prepared to do so should not invest in the Common Shares.

INTERESTS OF MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS IN MATERIAL TRANSACTIONS

Certain directors and officers of the Corporation have acquired Common Shares in the Seed Capital phase of the Corporation. See “Principal Shareholders”.

ELIGIBILITY FOR INVESTMENT

In the opinion of Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, counsel to the Corporation, based on the current provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the “ Act ”) and the regulations thereunder, in force as of the date hereof, the Common Shares, if, as and when listed on a designated stock exchange (which includes Tier 2 of the Exchange) or the Corporation is a “public corporation” (other than a mortgage investment corporation), as defined in the Act, will be qualified investments for a trust governed by a registered retirement savings plan (“ RRSP ”), a registered retirement income fund (“ RRIF ”), a registered education savings plan (“ RESP ”), a deferred profit sharing plan, a registered disability savings plan (“ RDSP ”) and a tax-free savings account (“ TFSA ”), each as defined under the Act.

Notwithstanding that the Common Shares may be a qualified investment for a trust governed by an RRSP, RRIF, RESP, RDSP or TFSA (a “ Plan ”), the annuitant of the RRSP or RRIF, the subscriber under an RESP or the holder of a TFSA or RDSP, as the case may be, (the “ Controller ”) will be subject to a penalty tax in respect of Common Shares acquired by a Plan if such Common Shares are a “prohibited investment” for the particular Plan. The Common Shares will generally be a “prohibited investment” of a Plan if the Controller of the Plan does not deal at arm's length with the Corporation for the purposes of the Act or has a “significant interest” (as defined in subsection 207.01(4) of the Act) in the Corporation. In addition, the Common Shares will not be a "prohibited investment" if the Common Shares are "excluded property" as defined in the Act for a Registered Plan.

Prospective investors are urged to consult their own tax advisors.

OTHER MATERIAL FACTS

There are no other material facts about the securities being distributed that are not disclosed under the preceding items and are necessary in order for the prospectus to contain full, true and plain disclosure of all material facts relating to the securities being distributed.

ECC VENTURES 4 CORP.

Financial Statements (Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

For the period from incorporation on January 14, 2021 to February 5, 2021

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Directors of ECC Ventures 4 Corp.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of ECC Ventures 4 Corp. (the “Company”), which comprise the statement of financial position as at February 5, 2021, and the statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the period from incorporation on January 14, 2021 to February 5, 2021, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, these financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at February 5, 2021, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the period then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Canada, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audit is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 1 of the financial statements, which indicates that the Company has an accumulated deficit of $19,429 as at February 5, 2021, and the Company’s ability to continue its operations is dependent upon obtaining additional financing sufficient to cover its operating costs. As stated in Note 1, these events and conditions indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Erez Bahar.

ECC VENTURES 4 CORP. Notes to the Financial Statements For the period from January 14, 2021 (incorporation) to February 5, 2021 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND CONTINUING OPERATIONS

ECC Ventures 4 Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated on January 14, 2021 under the laws of British Columbia and is applying to be a Capital Pool Company (“CPC”) as defined in the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSX-V” or the “Exchange”) Policy 2.4. The head office is located at 1600 – 609 Granville Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V7Y 1C3, and the records and registered office is located at 2200 HSBC Building 885 West Georgia Street, British Columbia, V6C 3E8.

Since incorporation on January 14, 2021, the Company has had no active business operations. As a CPC, the Company’s business objective will be to identify and evaluate assets or businesses with a view to potential acquisition or participation by completing a Qualifying Transaction (“QT”), as defined in Exchange Policy 2.4 subject, in certain cases, to shareholder approval and acceptance by the TSXV.

As a CPC, the proceeds raised from the issuance of share capital may only be used to identify and evaluate assets or businesses for future investment, with the exception that up to $3,000 per month may be used for reasonable general and administrative expenses of the Company. These restrictions will apply until completion of a QT by the Company as defined under the policies of the Exchange.

The Company has an accumulated deficit of $19,429 as at February 5, 2021. The Company's ability to continue its operations is dependent upon obtaining additional financing sufficient to cover its operating costs. All of the preceding indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and therefore be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in the accompanying financial statements.

In March 2020 the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. To date, COVID-19 has not had an adverse impact on the Company.

2. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and Interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).

8

ECC VENTURES 4 CORP. Notes to the Financial Statements For the period from January 14, 2021 (incorporation) to February 5, 2021 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)

3. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss, which are stated at their fair value. The financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is also the Company’s functional currency. In addition, the financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting except for cash flow information. The preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires management to make certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement of complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 4.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Income taxes

Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or loss or directly in equity, in which case it is recognized in other comprehensive income or loss or equity.

Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at year end, adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years.

Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realization or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period applicable to the period of expected realization or settlement.

A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority and the group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

(b) Share capital

Common shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. Transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares and share purchase options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(b) Share capital

The proceeds from the issue of units is allocated between common shares and common share purchase warrants based on the residual value method. Under this method, the proceeds are allocated to share capital based on the fair value of the common shares and any residual value is allocated to common share purchase warrants.

(c) Basic and diluted loss per share

The Company presents basic and diluted loss per share data for its common shares, calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Diluted loss per share does not adjust the loss attributable to common shareholders or the weighted average number of common shares outstanding when the effect is anti-dilutive.

(d) Financial instrument measurement and valuation

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liability either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 Inputs that are not based on observable market data.

The measurement of the Company’s financial instruments is disclosed in Note 10 to these financial statements. Any financial instrument that is valued using level 2 or 3 inputs will involve estimation uncertainty.

Financial assets

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”) or at amortized cost. The determination of the classification of financial assets is made at initial recognition. Equity instruments that are held for trading (including all equity derivative instruments) are classified as FVTPL; for other equity instruments, on the day of acquisition the Company can make an irrevocable election (on an instrument-by-instrument basis) to designate them as at FVTOCI.

The Company’s accounting policy for each of the categories is as follows:

Financial assets at FVTPL: Financial assets carried at FVTPL are initially recorded at fair value and transaction costs are expensed in the statement of income (loss). Realized and unrealized gains

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

(d) Financial instrument measurement and valuation (continued)

and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the financial assets held at FVTPL are included in the statement of income (loss) in the period.

Financial assets at FVTOCI: Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently they are measured at fair value, with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) in which they arise.

Financial assets at amortized cost: A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if the objective of the business model is to hold the financial asset for the collection of contractual cash flows, and the asset's contractual cash flows are comprised solely of payments of principal and interest. They are classified as current assets or non-current assets based on their maturity date and are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently carried at amortized cost less any impairment.

Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost: The Company assesses all information available, including on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit losses associated with its assets carried at amortized cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. To assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk, the Company compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset as the reporting date, with the risk of default as at the date of initial recognition, based on all information available, and reasonable and supportive forward-looking information.

(e) Financial liabilities and equity

Debt and equity instruments are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

(f) Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses. Estimates and associated assumptions applied in determining asset or liability values are based on historical experience and various other factors including other sources that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances but are not necessarily readily apparent or recognizable at the time such estimate or assumption is made. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions used in determining asset and liability values are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the

(f) Critical accounting estimates and judgements

estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Information about critical accounting estimates and judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities recognized in the financial statements are discussed below:

Judgements

Going Concern

The Company’s management has made an assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and is satisfied that the Company has the resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future. The factors considered by management are disclosed in Note 1.

Estimates

Deferred tax assets and liabilities

The estimation of income taxes includes evaluating the recoverability of deferred tax assets based on an assessment of the Company’s ability to utilize the underlying future tax deductions against future taxable income prior to expiry of those deductions. Management assesses whether it is probable that some or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income, which in turn is dependent upon the successful discovery, extraction, development and commercialization of mineral reserves. To the extent that management’s assessment of the Company’s ability to utilize future tax deductions changes, the Company would be required to recognize more or fewer deferred tax assets, and future income tax provisions or recoveries could be affected.

5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities. A transaction is considered to be a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties.

As of February 5, 2021, $Nil was due to related parties.

6. SHARE CAPITAL (continued)

(c) Escrowed shares (continued)

All common shares acquired on exercise of stock options granted to directors and officers of the Company prior to completion of the QT, must also be deposited in escrow until the Final Exchange Bulletin is issued.

All common shares acquired in the secondary market prior to completion of a QT by a Control Person (as defined in the policies of the Exchange), are required to be deposited in escrow. Subject to certain permitted exemptions, all securities of the Company held by principals of the resulting issuer will also be subject to escrow.

(d) Stock options

On February 5, 2021, the Company adopted a stock option plan (the “Stock Option Plan”) whereby it can grant incentive stock options to directors, officers, employees, and technical consultants of the Company. The maximum numbers of shares that may be reserved for issuance under the Stock Option Plan is limited to 10% of the issued common shares of the Company at any time. The vesting period for all options is at the discretion of the Board of Directors. The exercise price will be set by the Board of Directors at the time of grant and cannot be less than the discounted market price of the Company’s common shares.

The Stock Option Plan provides that the number of common shares that may be reserved for the issuance to any one individual upon exercise of all stock options held by such an individual may not exceed 5% of the issued common shares, if the individual is a director or officer, or 2% of the issued common shares, if the individual is a consultant or engaged in providing investor relations services, on a yearly basis. All options granted under the Stock Option Plan will expire not later than the date that is ten years from the date that such options are granted. Options terminate earlier as follows: (i) immediately in the event of dismissal with cause; (ii) 90 days from date of termination other than for cause; or (iii) one year from the date of death or disability. Options granted under the Stock Option Plan are not transferable or assignable other than by will or other testamentary instrument or pursuant to the laws of succession. All common shares acquired on exercise of stock options granted to directors and officers prior to the completion of a QT must be deposited in escrow until the final exchange bulletin relating to a QT is issued.

The Company did not grant any options during the period from incorporation on January 14, 2021 to February 5, 2021.

7. BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER SHARE

As at February 5, 2021, the Company had approximately $19,429 of non-capital loss carry forwards available to reduce taxable income for future years. The non-capital losses start to expire in 2041.

9. MANAGEMENT OF CAPITAL

Capital is comprised of the Company’s shareholders’ equity and any debt that it may issue. The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to maintain financial strength and to protect its ability to meet its ongoing liabilities, to continue as a going concern, to maintain creditworthiness and to maximize returns for shareholders over the long term. Protecting the ability to pay current and future liabilities includes maintaining capital above minimum regulatory levels, current financial strength rating requirements and internally determined capital guidelines and calculated risk management levels.

The proceeds raised from the issuance of share capital may only be used to identify and evaluate assets or businesses for future investment, with the exception that up to $3,000 per month may be used for reasonable general and administrative expenses of the Company. These restrictions apply until completion of a QT by the Company as defined under the policies of the Exchange.

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company is exposed in varying degrees to a variety of financial instrument related risks. The Board of Directors approves and monitors the risk management processes. The type of risk exposure and the way in which such exposure is managed is provided as follows:

ECC VENTURES 4 CORP. Notes to the Financial Statements For the period from January 14, 2021 (incorporation) to February 5, 2021 (Expressed in Canadian dollars)

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows from a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices or prevailing conditions. Market risk comprises three types of risk: currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk and are disclosed as follows:

(i) Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company holds no financial instruments that are denominated in a currency other than Canadian dollars. As at February 5, 2021, the Company is not exposed to currency risk.

(ii) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows will fluctuate as a result of changes in market risk. The Company’s sensitivity to interest rates relative to its cash balances is currently immaterial. The Company also has no long-term debt with variable interest rates so it has no negative exposure to changes in the market interest rate.

(iii) Price rate risk

The Company has no exposure to price risk with respect to equity prices as the Company is not listed. Equity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on the Company's earnings due to movements in individual equity prices or general movements in the level of the stock market.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its liquid financial assets including cash. The Company limits the exposure to credit risk by only investing its cash with high-credit quality financial institutions. Management believes that the credit risk related to its cash is negligible.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they become due. At February 5, 2021, the Company has no sources of revenue but has a cash balance of $264,994 to settle current liabilities of $19,423. As such, management feels the Company has sufficient

10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

Liquidity Risk (continued)

cash to fund corporate overhead costs and the repayment of the Company’s debt obligations for the next year. The Company’s exposure to liquidity risk is currently negligible.

Fair Value Measurements

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified into one of three levels in the fair value hierarchy according to the relative reliability of the inputs used to estimate the fair values. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:

  • Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

  • Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, and

  • Level 3 – Inputs that are not based on observable market date.

The fair value of cash is determined based on Level 1 inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

As at February 5, 2021 the Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Cash is classified as amortized cost. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities are classified as amortized cost. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values because of their short-term nature and/or the existence of market related interest rates on the instruments.

11. PROPOSED TRANSACTION

The Company is in the process of filing its prospectus, and on February 3, 2021, the Company entered into an engagement agreement with Mackie Research Capital Corp. (the “Agent”) in relation to its initial public offering (“IPO”), whereby it proposes to issue to the public 2,000,000 common shares at $0.10 per common share for total proceeds of $200,000 (the “Offering”). The Agent will be paid a cash commission of $20,000, a corporate finance fee of $12,000, and will be issued agent’s options to acquire up to 200,000 common shares of the Company at $0.10 per common share for a period of 24 months from the day the common shares of the Company are listed on the Exchange. The Company is also required to reimburse the Agent’s reasonable expenses, including legal fees, which are estimated at $9,000, related to the Offering. The purpose of the IPO is to provide the Company with funds with which to identify and evaluate businesses or assets with a view to completing a Qualifying Transaction. Immediately prior to the listing on the Exchange, the Company also proposes to grant an aggregate of 565,000 stock options to directors and officers of the Company, exercisable at $0.10 per common share for a period of ten years from the date of grant.
