Each Broker Special Warrant shall be automatically exercised, without payment of additional consideration, into one broker warrant (each, a “ Broker Warrant ” and collectively, the “ Broker Warrants ”) on the Qualification Date (as defined below). Each such Broker Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share (each, a “ Broker Warrant Share ”) at the Offering Price for a period of two years from the Closing Date. The Prospectus qualifies the distribution of any Broker Warrants upon the automatic exercise of the Broker Special Warrants.

  • (3) After deducting the Agents’ Fee, but before deducting the expenses of the Offering, including the preparation and filing of the Prospectus, which expenses are estimated to be $350,000 and have been or will be paid from the net proceeds of the Offering.

  • (4) The distribution of the Special Warrant Shares upon the exercise or deemed exercise of the Special Warrants will not result in any proceeds being received by the Company.

Each Special Warrant entitles the holder thereof to receive, upon exercise or deemed exercise, one Special Warrant Share at no additional consideration. Each Special Warrant shall be voluntarily exercisable at any time for no additional consideration by any holder thereof by providing written notice to the Special Warrant Agent of such exercise. To the extent that any Special Warrants remain unexercised, each such Special Warrant shall be automatically exercised (without any further action on the part of the holder thereof) on the date (the “ Qualification Date ”) that is the earlier of: (i) the third business day after the Prospectus Qualification (as defined below); and (ii) 4:59 p.m. (Toronto time) on June 26, 2021 (the “ Deemed Exercise Date ”).

If the Qualification Date does not occur before the Qualification Deadline, each holder of a Special Warrant shall be entitled to receive, without payment of additional consideration, 1.1 Special Warrant Shares per Special Warrant (in lieu of 1.0 Special Warrant Shares per Special Warrant) upon the exercise or deemed exercise of the Special Warrants (the additional 0.1 of a Common Share to be issued upon the deemed exercise of each Special Warrant after the Qualification Deadline are collectively referred to as the “ Additional Shares ”). The Prospectus qualifies the distribution of any Additional Shares upon the exercise or deemed exercise of the Special Warrants.

In the event that a holder of Special Warrants voluntarily exercises such securities prior to the Qualification Date, the Special Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of such Special Warrants will be subject to statutory hold periods under applicable securities legislation and shall bear such legends as required by securities laws.

Agents’ Position Number of securities available Exercise period Exercise price
Broker Special Warrants(1) 3,500,000 Broker Warrants February 25, 2023 $0.40 per Broker Warrant

Notes:

(1) Each Broker Special Warrant shall be automatically exercised, without payment of additional consideration, into one Broker Warrant on the Qualification Date.

Certain legal matters in connection with the Offering have been reviewed on behalf of the Company by Minden Gross LLP and on behalf of the Agents by Stikeman Elliott LLP.

On the Closing Date, the Company deposited the Special Warrants issued pursuant to the Offering (other than Special Warrants issued to purchasers on the President’s List) with CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. (“ CDS ”) in electronic non-certificated form. Special Warrant Shares to be issued upon deemed exercise of the Special Warrants issued to such purchasers will also be electronically held by CDS and such purchasers will not receive a definitive certificate representing the Special Warrant Shares. All other holders of Special Warrants were issued directly electronically registered Special Warrants registered in the system maintained by the Special Warrant Agent for that purpose, and notified by delivery of an advice of such position (“ DRS Advices ”) for their Special Warrants. It is anticipated that Special Warrant Shares issued to such holders upon deemed exercise of the Special Warrants held by them will be similarly directly electronically registered in the system maintained by the Special Warrant Agent for that purpose, and DRS Advices will be issued to such holders notifying them of their directly electronically registered position. See “Plan of Distribution” .

Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “management” in the Prospectus means the persons acting in the capacities of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Any statements in the Prospectus or incorporated by reference herein made by or on behalf of management are made in such persons’ capacities as officers of the Company and not in their personal capacities.

Readers should rely only on information contained or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus. The Company has not authorized anyone to provide the reader with information different from that contained or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus. The Company is not making an offer of these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer is not permitted. Readers should not assume that the information contained or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus is accurate as of any date other than the date on the front of the Prospectus or the respective dates of the documents incorporated by reference herein. The Company does not undertake to update the information contained or incorporated by reference herein, except as required by applicable securities laws.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Prospectus and all documents incorporated by reference herein contain “forward looking statements” or “forwardlooking information” within the meaning of applicable securities legislation. Forward- looking information is provided as of the date of the Prospectus and the Company does not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update this forward-looking information, except as required by applicable securities law.

In some cases, these forward-looking statements can be identified by words or phrases such as “may”, “believe”, “expects”, “will”, “intends”, “projects”, “anticipates”, “estimates”, “continues”, “plan”, “believe”, “aim”, “seek” or the negative of these terms, or other similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. The Company has based these forward-looking statements on current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that they believe may affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs, as the case may be.

Forward-looking statements are based on certain key assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light of its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments and other factors the Company believes are appropriate, and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Such assumptions include, among others:

  • the performance of Eguana's businesses, including current business and economic trends;

  • capital expenditure programs and other expenditures by Eguana and its customers;

  • Eguana’s ability to retain and hire qualified personnel;

  • Eguana’s ability to obtain parts, consumables, equipment, technology and supplies in a timely manner to carry out its activities;

  • risks associated with international operations such as political, economic and other uncertainties;

  • Eguana’s ability to maintain good working relationships with key suppliers;

  • Eguana’s ability to market its services and products successfully to existing and new customers;

  • Eguana’s ability to raise additional capital in a timely manner on acceptable terms;

  • currency exchange and interest rates;

  • changes under governmental regulatory regimes and tax, environmental and other laws in Canada, the United States and globally;

  • fluctuations in market value for energy storage power conversion;

  • changes to the Company’s leadership position with regards to residential storage technology;

  • Eguana’s ability to achieve business objectives and milestones;

8

DocuSign Envelope ID: 42047EEA-E13D-4188-AB08-A4E99B0BC7D8

  • uncertainty in Eguana’s ability to develop relationships with other companies;

  • the uncertainty surrounding the spread of COVID-19 and the impact it will have on the Company’s operations and economic activity in general;

  • Eguana’s ability to implement its growth strategy; and

  • a stable competitive environment.

Although management believes that the assumptions underlying these statements are reasonable, they may prove to be incorrect. Given these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, shareholders and prospective purchasers of the Company’s securities should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

The above list of forward-looking statements is not exhaustive and 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 factors discussed in the sections entitled “ Risk Factors ” in the Prospectus and in the Company’s Annual Information Form (as defined below) which is incorporated by reference herein.

Forward-looking information in the Prospectus includes, among other things, disclosure regarding:

  • Eguana’s ability to develop, introduce and implement new products as well as enhancements or improvements for existing products that respond, in a timely fashion, to market demand and rapid technological change;

  • anticipated costs and timelines to achieve goals, such as those necessary to achieve the planned expansions of products and production capabilities;

  • Eguana’s ability to sell products on favorable terms, as well as the desirability of Eguana’s current and future products;

  • the achievement of, as well as receipt of the anticipated benefits of, Eguana’s long term business objectives such as product development and research and development improvements;

  • the receipt, in a timely manner, of regulatory and other required approvals and clearances for the Prospectus;

  • the use of the net proceeds of the Offering;

  • Eguana’s future outlook; and

  • the issuance of the Special Warrant Shares pursuant to the Offering.

Forward-looking information has also been incorporated by reference through the Annual Information Form. Other documents incorporated by reference, such as the Audited Annual Financial Statements and Annual MD&A, include forward-looking information with respect to, among other things, the Company’s corporate development and strategy.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The financial statements of the Company incorporated by reference in the Prospectus have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and are reported in Canadian dollars.

All currency amounts in the Prospectus are expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated. References to “US$” are to United States dollars. On April 23, 2021, the rate of exchange for the United States dollar in terms of Canadian dollars, as quoted by the Bank of Canada, was US$1.00 = C$1.2489.

ELIGIBILITY FOR INVESTMENT

In the opinion of Minden Gross LLP, counsel to the Company, and Stikeman Elliott LLP, counsel to the Agents, based on the current provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the regulations thereunder (collectively, the “ Tax Act ”),

9

DocuSign Envelope ID: 42047EEA-E13D-4188-AB08-A4E99B0BC7D8

in force as of the date hereof, the Special Warrant Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise or deemed exercise of the Special Warrants, if issued on the date hereof, would be qualified investments for a trust governed by a “registered retirement savings plan”, “registered retirement income fund”, “registered education savings plan”, “registered disability savings plan” or “tax-free savings account”, as those terms are defined in the Tax Act (collectively referred to as “ Registered Plans ”) or a “deferred profit sharing plan” (as defined in the Tax Act), provided that the Special Warrant Shares are listed on a “designated stock exchange” as defined in the Tax Act (which currently includes Tier 1 and Tier 2 of the TSXV) or the Company qualifies as a “public corporation” other than a “mortgage investment corporation” (as each such term is defined in the Tax Act).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the holder or subscriber of, or an annuitant under, a Registered Plan, as the case may be, (the “ Controlling Individual ”) will be subject to a penalty tax in respect of the Special Warrant Shares held in the Registered Plan if such securities are a “prohibited investment” (as defined in the Tax Act) for the particular Registered Plan. A Special Warrant Share generally will not be a “prohibited investment” for a Registered Plan if the Controlling Individual (i) deals at arm’s length with the Company for the purposes of the Tax Act and (ii) does not have a “significant interest” (within the meaning of the Tax Act) in the Company. However, the Special Warrant Shares will generally not be a “prohibited investment” if such securities are “excluded property” (within the meaning of the Tax Act) for the Registered Plan.

Controlling Individuals should consult their own tax advisors as to whether the Special Warrant Shares will be a prohibited investment in their particular circumstances. Purchasers who hold or intend to hold the Special Warrant Shares in a Registered Plan should consult their own tax advisors as to whether such securities will be a “prohibited investment” in their particular circumstances, including with respect to whether such securities would be “excluded property” in their particular circumstances.

Notes:

  • (1) Assuming no Additional Shares are issued and giving effect to the exercise of the Broker Special Warrants.

  • (2) The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of convertible $10, 8% redeemable first preferred shares (the “ First Preferred Shares ”), issuable in series. Holders of the First Preferred Shares may convert their First Preferred Shares, at any time, into that number of Common Shares equal to the then applicable series redemption price divided by the conversion price. The conversion for the First Preferred Shares includes a fixed conversion price on the initial subscription plus the conversion of accreted dividends to Common Shares. The accreted dividend conversion price is based on the closing price of the Common Shares on the day prior to the conversion. The fixed conversion price for the First Preferred Shares Series 8 is $1.00 and is $0.24 for the First Preferred Shares Series A.

  • (3) On June 21, 2019, the Company closed a first tranche issuance of 3,012 unsecured convertible debentures (the “ CD Debentures ”) at a price of $1,000 per CD Debenture. The CD Debentures were to mature and were repayable on June 21, 2022 and feature accrued interest of 10% per annum payable in cash compounded and payable semi-annually or on such earlier date on which the CD Debentures were converted. At any time prior to June 21, 2022, the CD Debentures were convertible into Common Shares at a price of $0.15 per Common Share. Following the date that is four months and one day from the date of issuance, and upon 30 days’ notice, the Company could require holders of CD Debentures to convert their CD Debentures into Common Shares in the event the daily volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares was greater than $0.30 for 20 consecutive trading days. On August 8, 2019, the Company closed the second tranche offering of the CD Debentures. The Company issued an additional 1,215 non-brokered CD Debentures at a price of $1,000 per debenture. The second tranche of the CD Debentures were to mature on August 8, 2022, with all other terms remaining identical to the first tranche. As of the date hereof, the principal amount outstanding under all CD Debentures, including those issued on August 8, 2019, have been converted into Common Shares.

On March 13, 2020, the Company issued 5,000 unsecured convertible debentures to ITOCHU Corporation (“ ITOCHU ”) at a price of $1,000 per debenture (the “ ITOCHU Debentures ”). Each ITOCHU Debenture was convertible into units of Eguana (each, a “ Unit ”) at a price of $0.15 per Unit, with each Unit consisting of one Common Share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant of the Company (each whole common share purchase warrant, an “ ITOCHU Warrant ”). Each whole ITOCHU Warrant entitled the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.20 per Common Share until March 13, 2023. The ITOCHU Debentures earned interest at 10% per annum, paid semi-annually in cash and were to mature on March 13, 2023. As of the date hereof, the principal amount owing to ITOCHU under the ITOCHU Debentures has been converted into 33,333,333 Common Shares and 16,666,666 ITOCHU Warrants.

Notes:

  • (1) After deducting the Agents’ Fee, but before deducting the expenses of the Offering, including the preparation and filing of the Prospectus, which expenses are estimated to be $350,000 and have been or will be paid from the net proceeds of the Offering.

The Company currently intends to spend the funds available as stated in the Prospectus, however, there may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, a reallocation of funds may be deemed prudent or necessary. The

14

DocuSign Envelope ID: 42047EEA-E13D-4188-AB08-A4E99B0BC7D8

actual amount that the Company spends in connection with each of the intended uses of proceeds may vary significantly from the amounts specified above and will depend on a number of factors, including those referred to under “Risk Factors” .

Until applied, the net proceeds of the Offering will be held as cash balances in the Company’s savings bank account. Unallocated funds from the Offering will be added to the working capital of the Company, and will be expended at the discretion of management. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company are responsible for the supervision and execution of the Company’s investment policies.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had working capital of approximately $11,532,333 including a cash balance of $15,028,463.

Business Objectives and Milestones

The primary business objectives for the Company over the next six months that the Company intends to accomplish using the net proceeds include:

  • strategically positioning raw material inventory to reduce the impact of global logistics congestion and deliver additional predictability towards revenue targets. Eguana anticipates this investment to provide the ability to transition the Company’s business from a batch manufacturing model to a flow manufacturing model, which provides more consistent supply availability to Eguana’s customers and drives revenue growth;

  • expanding the research and development lab from a two station setup to a six station setup, thus providing additional capacity and test capability of new products, including higher power product solutions, battery module and battery management system development. This expansion is expected to take place over the next six to nine months; and

  • in the long term, developing a new lithium technology based battery module along with a battery management system. This development is expected to take place over the next 18-24 months with the expectation to deliver a module with up to a 30% cost savings target when compared to the current lithium-nickel-manganesecobalt-oxide battery pricing.

The Company will require additional financing over and above the Offering in order to meet its long-term business objectives and there can be no assurances that such financing sources will be available as and when needed. The Company will have further capital requirements and other expenditures as it proceeds to expand its business or take advantage of opportunities for acquisitions or other business opportunities that may be presented to it. The Company may incur major unanticipated liabilities or expenses. The Company can provide no assurance that it will be able to obtain financing to meet the growth needs of its operations. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available in the amount required at any time or for any period or, if available, that it can be obtained on terms satisfactory to the Company. See “ Risk Factors ”.

During the last financial year the Company had negative operating cash flow because its revenues did not exceed its operating expenses. The Company expects cash flow from operations to be negative until revenues improve to offset its operating expenditures. The Company’s cash flow from operations may be affected in the future by expenditures incurred by the Company to continue to progress its business objectives. The amounts set out above for use as working capital may be used to offset this anticipated negative operating cash flow. See “ Risk Factors ”.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Prospectus is being filed in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Ontario to qualify the distribution of 50,000,000 Special Warrant Shares upon the deemed exercise of 50,000,000 Special Warrants previously issued on February 25, 2021. The Special Warrants were issued pursuant to the Special Warrant Indenture.

15

DocuSign Envelope ID: 42047EEA-E13D-4188-AB08-A4E99B0BC7D8

An aggregate of 50,000,000 Special Warrants were issued to purchasers resident in each of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick and Ontario pursuant to prospectus exemptions under applicable securities legislation on a best efforts private placement basis on the Closing Date pursuant to the terms of the Agency Agreement.

On the Closing Date, the Company deposited the Special Warrants issued pursuant to the Offering (other than Special Warrants issued to purchasers on the President’s List) with CDS in electronic non-certificated form. Special Warrant Shares to be issued upon deemed exercise of the Special Warrants issued to such purchasers will also be electronically held by CDS and such purchasers will not receive a definitive certificate representing the Special Warrant Shares. All other holders of Special Warrants were issued directly electronically registered Special Warrants registered in the system maintained by the Special Warrant Agent for that purpose, and notified by delivery of DRS Advices for their Special Warrants. It is anticipated that Special Warrant Shares issued to such holders upon deemed exercise of the Special Warrants held by them will be similarly directly electronically registered in the system maintained by the Special Warrant Agent for that purpose, and DRS Advices will be issued to such holders notifying them of their directly electronically registered position.

Each Special Warrant entitles the holder thereof to receive, upon exercise or deemed exercise, one Special Warrant Share at no additional consideration. Each Special Warrant shall be voluntarily exercisable at any time by the holder thereof by providing written notice to the Special Warrant Agent of such exercise. To the extent that any Special Warrants remain unexercised, each such Special Warrant shall be automatically exercised (without any further action on the part of the holder thereof) on the earlier of: (i) the third business day after the Prospectus Qualification; and (ii) 4:59 p.m. (Toronto time) on June 26, 2021. The Company has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a receipt for a final short form prospectus qualifying the distribution of the Special Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Special Warrants on or before the Qualification Deadline. If the Qualification Date does not occur before the Qualification Deadline, each holder of a Special Warrant shall be entitled to receive, without payment of additional consideration, 1.1 Special Warrant Shares per Special Warrant (in lieu of 1.0 Special Warrant Shares per Special Warrant) upon the exercise or deemed exercise of the Special Warrants. The Prospectus qualifies the distribution of any Additional Shares upon the exercise or deemed exercise of the Special Warrants.

In the event that a holder of Special Warrants voluntarily exercises such securities prior to the Qualification Date, the Special Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of Special Warrants will be subject to statutory hold periods under applicable securities legislation and shall bear such legends as required by securities laws.

In consideration for the services rendered by the Agents in connection with the Offering, the Company paid the Agents an aggregate cash commission of $1,400,000, being: (i) 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of subscriptions for Special Warrants from purchasers introduced to the Offering by the Agents; and (ii) 7.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds of subscriptions for Special Warrants from purchasers under the President’s List.

The Company also issued to the Agents an aggregate of 3,500,000 Broker Special Warrants, being: (i) 7.0% of the number of Special Warrants issued to purchasers introduced to the Offering by the Agents; and (ii) 7.0% of the number of Special Warrants issued under the President’s List, with each such Broker Special Warrant automatically exercised, without payment of additional consideration, into one Broker Warrant on the Qualification Date. Each such Broker Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one Broker Warrant Share of the Company at the Offering Price for a period of two years from the Closing Date. The Prospectus qualifies the distribution of any Broker Warrants upon the automatic exercise of the Broker Special Warrants.

The Offering Price was determined by arm’s length negotiation between the Company and Stifel GMP on behalf of the Agents. The Company agreed to reimburse the Agents for certain expenses incurred by the Agents related to the Offering.

The obligations of the Agents under the Agency Agreement may be terminated at their discretion upon the occurrence of certain stated events. The Agency Agreement also provides that the Company will indemnify the Agents and their affiliates and each of the partners, directors, officers and employees of the Agents against certain liabilities and expenses or will contribute to payments that the Agents may be required to make in respect thereof.

On the Closing Date, the Company agreed in favour of the Agents that, during the period ending 90 days after the Closing Date, it shall not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Lead Agents, such consent

16

DocuSign Envelope ID: 42047EEA-E13D-4188-AB08-A4E99B0BC7D8

not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, issue, sell, offer, grant an option or right in respect of, or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any derivative transaction that has the effect of the foregoing, or agree to or announce any intention to issue, sell, offer, grant an option or right in respect of, or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any derivative transaction that has the effect of the foregoing, any additional Common Shares, equity securities or debt securities, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares, equity securities or debt securities, in each case by way of a brokered or non-brokered transaction, except in conjunction with: (i) the Agency Agreement; (ii) any existing Option, Warrant or convertible debenture obligations; (iii) the grant or exercise of Options and other similar issuances pursuant to any stock option plan or similar share compensation arrangements of the Company in place prior to the date of the Agency Agreement (provided that in the case of new grants, the exercise price of such stock options or compensation arrangement will be no less than the Offering Price); (iv) the grant of restricted share units; (v) the Offering; or (vi) any arrangements in existence prior to the date of the Agency Agreement provided such arrangements have been disclosed to the Agents.

On the Closing Date, each of the Company’s directors and officers (the “ Locked-Up Persons ”) entered into lock-up agreements in favour of the Agents evidencing their agreement not to directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the Agents, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, offer, sell, contract to sell, lend, swap, or enter into any other agreement to transfer the economic consequences of, or otherwise dispose of or deal with, or publicly announce any intention to offer, sell, contract to sell, grant or sell any option to purchase, hypothecate, pledge, transfer, assign, purchase any option or contract to sell, lend, swap, or enter into any agreement to transfer the economic consequences of, or otherwise dispose of or deal with, whether through the facilities of a stock exchange, by private placement or otherwise, any Common Shares or other equity securities of the Company (or securities convertible or exercisable into Common Shares or other equity securities) held by them, directly or indirectly, on the Closing Date (the “ Locked-Up Securities ”) for a period of 90 days following the Closing Date (such period being the “ Lock-up Period ”), except in respect of the following: (a) transfers to affiliates of the Locked-up Persons, or any company, trust or other entity owned by or maintained for the benefit of the Locked-up Persons, or (b) transfers occurring by operation of law or in connection with transactions arising as a result of the death of the Locked-up Persons; provided, in each of (a) and (b), that any such transferee shall first execute a lock-up agreement in substantially the same form agreed to with the Agents covering the remainder of the Lock-up Period, or (c) transfers made pursuant to a bona fide takeover bid made to all holders of voting securities of the Company or similar acquisition or merger transaction, provided that in the event that the take-over or acquisition or merger transaction is not completed, any securities shall remain subject to the restrictions contained in the undertaking, (d) transfers to any nominee or custodian where there is no change in beneficial ownership, for bona fide tax planning purposes including, but not limited to, transfers into a registered retirement savings plan and where the Locked-Up Securities are still subject to and governed by the original lock-up agreement, or (e) sales to satisfy tax obligations on the exercise of convertible securities.

The Agents and their affiliates have performed investment banking, commercial banking and advisory services for the Company from time to time for which they have received customary fees and expenses. The Agents and their affiliates may, from time to time, engage in transactions with and perform services for the Company in the ordinary course of their business.

The TSXV has conditionally approved the listing of the Special Warrant Shares distributed under the Prospectus on the TSXV.

United States Offering Restrictions

The Prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the Special Warrant Shares offered hereby in the United States.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in securities of the Company is highly speculative and involves significant risks. The risks described herein and in the documents incorporated by reference in the Prospectus are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to the Company, or that the Company currently deems immaterial, may also materially and adversely affect its business.

Discretion in the Use of Proceeds

Management will have discretion concerning the use of proceeds of the Offering as well as the timing of their expenditures. As a result, holders of Special Warrants will be relying on the judgment of management as to the application of the proceeds of the Offering. Management may use the net proceeds of the Offering in ways that holders of Special Warrants may not consider desirable. The results and effectiveness of the application of the proceeds are uncertain. If the proceeds are not applied effectively, the Company’s results of operations may suffer.

Future Sales or Issuances of Securities

The Company may sell additional Common Shares or other securities in subsequent offerings. The Company may also issue additional securities to finance future activities. The Company cannot predict the size of future issuances of securities or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of securities will have on the market price of the Common Shares. Sales or issuances of substantial numbers of Common Shares, or the perception that such sales could occur,

21

may adversely affect prevailing market prices of the Common Shares. With any additional sale or issuance of Common Shares, holders of Common Shares will suffer dilution to their voting power and the Company may experience dilution in its earnings per Common Share.

The Company’s auditor is BDO Canada LLP and is located at 1100 – 1055 West Georgia St., Vancouver BC V6E 3P3. Such auditor is independent in accordance with the Code of Professional Conduct of the Chartered Professional Accountants of British Columbia.

STATUTORY RIGHTS OF WITHDRAWAL AND RESCISSION

Securities legislation in certain of the provinces 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 of Canada, the securities legislation further provides a purchaser with remedies for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revision 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 of the price or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal advisor.

The Company and the Agents hereby confirm that purchasers who acquired Special Warrants through the Company have the same rights and remedies for rescission and/or damages against Company and the Agents, as the case may be, as purchasers who acquired Special Warrants through the Agents.

CONTRACTUAL RIGHT OF RESCISSION

The Company has granted each holder of a Special Warrant a contractual right of rescission of the prospectus-exempt transaction under which the Special Warrant was initially acquired. The contractual right of rescission provides that if a holder of a Special Warrant who acquires Special Warrant Shares on the exercise or deemed exercise of the Special Warrant as provided for in the Prospectus is, or becomes, entitled under the securities legislation of a jurisdiction to the remedy of rescission because of the Prospectus or an amendment to the Prospectus containing a misrepresentation:

  • (a) the holder is entitled to rescission of both the holder’s exercise or deemed exercise of its Special Warrant and the private placement transaction under which the Special Warrant was initially acquired;

  • (b) the holder is entitled in connection with the rescission to a full refund of all consideration paid to the Company on the acquisition of the Special Warrant; and

  • (c) if the holder is a permitted assignee of the interest of the original Special Warrant subscriber, the holder is entitled to exercise the rights of rescission and refund as if the holder was the original subscriber.

The contractual rights of action described above are in addition to and without derogation from any other right or remedy that a purchaser of Special Warrants may have at law.
