(dated as of July 31, 2025)
This disclosure document (this “Disclosure Document”) has been prepared by Sanatana Resources Inc. (“Sanatana” or the “Company”) and is being furnished to holders (the “Shareholders”) of common shares of the Company (the “Common Shares”) in connection with the accompanying form of minority shareholder consent (the “Consent”) to be signed by certain Shareholders in respect of a purchase agreement dated July 1, 2025 (the “Definitive Agreement”), entered into among Sanatana, LIRECA Resources Inc. (“LIRECA”) and LIRECA’s affiliate, Florin Resources Inc. (“Florin” and, together with LIRECA, the “Florin Group”), pursuant to which Sanatana will, among other things, acquire the Gold Strike One Project (Yukon) and the Abitibi Property (Quebec) (the “Proposed Acquisition”) and enter into the Royalty Agreements (as defined below) with the Royalty Holder (as defined below), an affiliate of the Florin Group (collectively, the “Proposed Transactions”).
Each of LIRECA, Florin and the Royalty Holder is considered a “related party” of Sanatana pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws, and therefore, the Proposed Transactions are “related party transactions” pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (g) of the definition of “related party transaction” under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”) and TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) Policy 5.9 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“Policy 5.9”).

Proposed Acquisition
The Proposed Acquisition will proceed by way of an asset purchase by Sanatana, as purchaser, from the Florin Group, as vendors, with respect to the purchase of the Gold Strike One Project (Yukon) (the “Gold Strike One Project”) and the Abitibi Property (Québec) (the “Abitibi Property” and, together with the Gold Strike One Project, the “Target Assets”).
Consideration
Under the terms of the Definitive Agreement, the consideration payable by Sanatana for the Proposed Acquisition consists of: (i) an aggregate cash payment of $2,000,000 (the “Consideration Cash”), of which $1,800,000 shall be paid to LIRECA as partial consideration for the Gold Strike One Project and $200,000 shall be paid to Florin as full consideration for the Abitibi Property; and (ii) 24,745,620 Common Shares (the “Consideration Shares”), which shall be issued to LIRECA as partial consideration for the Gold Strike One Project.
Bonus Payments
The Definitive Agreement also provides for certain bonus payments (the “Bonus Payments”) payable by Sanatana upon certain triggering events, as further described below.
In the event Sanatana, or any subsequent purchaser of the Gold Strike One Project, publicly announces a resource estimate on any portion of the project, prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”), that estimates the presence of Gold Ounces (as defined below), Sanatana or such purchaser, as applicable, shall deliver to an affiliate of LIRECA (or its assignee), the greater monetary value of US$1,000,000 in immediately available funds or 500 ounces of physical gold, for every million Gold Ounces delineated by such resource estimate. Such Bonus Payment is due for each million Gold Ounce delineated by such resource estimate and any additional resource estimate. “Gold Ounces” means gold or gold equivalent ounces in any resource category (that is, an inferred mineral resource, an indicated mineral resource, and/or a measured mineral resource).
Further, in the event Sanatana, or any subsequent purchaser of the Abitibi Property, publicly announces a resource estimate on any portion of the project, prepared in accordance with NI 43-101, that estimates the presence of Gold Ounces, Sanatana or such purchaser, as applicable shall deliver to Florin (or its assignee), the greater monetary value of US$1,000,000 in immediately available funds or 500 ounces of physical gold, for the first million Gold Ounces delineated by such resource estimate. Such Bonus Payment is due for only the first million Gold Ounce delineated by such resource estimate and not any additional resource estimate.
Royalty Agreements
As a condition to closing of the Proposed Acquisition, Sanatana and 1079170 B.C. Ltd. (the “Royalty Holder”) will enter into a royalty agreement in respect of the Gold Strike One Project (the “Gold Strike One Royalty Agreement”) and a royalty agreement in respect of the Abitibi Property (the “Abitibi Royalty Agreement” and, together with the Gold Strike One Royalty Agreement, the “Royalty Agreements”), the terms of which are summarized below.
Under the terms of the Gold Strike One Royalty Agreement, Sanatana will grant a 2% net smelter returns royalty (the “Gold Strike One NSR”) in favour of the Royalty Holder. At any time prior to the commencement of commercial production, Sanatana can reduce the Gold Strike One NSR from 2% to 1%, by paying the Royalty Holder 1,000 ounces of physical gold or US$2,000,000 (whichever is greater in monetary value). Sanatana will also pay to Royalty Holder an annual advance royalty payment in the
amount of the greater monetary value of US$20,000 and seven ounces of gold (the “Gold Strike One Annual Advance Royalty”). The Gold Strike One Annual Advance Royalty shall be payable on or before each subsequent anniversary of the date of the Definitive Agreement. Subject to the terms of the Gold Strike One Royalty Agreement, the Gold Strike One Annual Advance Royalty will cease upon the commencement of commercial production and the Gold Strike One Annual Advance Royalty payments shall constitute prepayment of the Gold Strike One NSR payments. In the event Sanatana intends to abandon any of the mining claims, concessions or leases comprising the Gold Strike One Project, such abandoned property shall, subject to LIRECA’s written approval, be conveyed to LIRECA for no additional consideration.
Under the terms of the Abitibi Royalty Agreement, Sanatana will grant a 3% net smelter returns royalty (the “Abitibi NSR”) in favour of the Royalty Holder. At any time prior to the commencement of commercial production, Sanatana can reduce the Abitibi NSR by 1% increments, from 3% to 1%, by paying the Royalty Holder 500 ounces of physical gold or US$1,000,000 (whichever is greater in monetary value) for each 1% reduction, provided that the Abitibi NSR does not fall below 1%. In the event Sanatana intends to abandon any of the mining claims, concessions or leases comprising the Abitibi Property, such abandoned property shall, subject to Florin’s written approval, be conveyed to Florin for no additional consideration.
Private Placement Financing
Concurrent with the Proposed Acquisition, the Company will complete a non-brokered private placement (the “Private Placement Offering”), whereby the Company will issue up to 8,800,000 units of the Company (the “Units”) at a price of $0.60 per Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $5,280,000. The Private Placement Offering is subject to an over-allotment right (the “Over-allotment Right”) pursuant to which Sanatana may increase the size of the Private Placement Offering by up to 1,320,000 Units for additional gross proceeds of up to $792,000, such that gross proceeds of the Private Placement Offering, inclusive of the exercise of the Over-Allotment Right, would be up to a maximum of $6,072,000. The minimum gross proceeds to be raised pursuant to the Private Placement Offering will be $4,100,000, representing the sale of at least 6,833,334 Units.
Each Unit will be comprised of one (1) Common Share and one-half (1/2) of one share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.95 per Common Share for a period of 36 months from the date of closing of the Private Placement Offering, subject to an acceleration provision.
The Units offered pursuant to the Private Placement Offering will be distributed in reliance on the accredited investor exemption from the prospectus requirement in subsection 2.3(1) of National Instrument 45-106 Prospectus Exemptions and/or subsection 73.3(2) of the Securities Act (Ontario) or other available exemptions from the prospectus requirement.
The proceeds from the Private Placement Offering will be used to satisfy the Consideration Cash and for general expenses, exploration expenses and as a possible reserve for an investor relations program.
No “related party” of the Company (as defined in MI 61-101) will participate in the Private Placement Offering; therefore, the Private Placement Offering does not constitute a “related party transaction” under MI 61-101.
Pro Forma Share Capitalization of the Company
After giving effect to the Proposed Transactions, the issued and outstanding Common Shares as of closing of the Proposed Transactions (the “Closing”) is expected to be comprised as follows:

(2) Assumes the full exercise of the Over-allotment Right.
Upon completion of the Proposed Transactions, LIRECA and its joint actors will have beneficial ownership of and control or direction over, 31,235,999 Common Shares and 295,000 Common Share purchase warrants representing percentages of the total issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis and a partially diluted basis as follows:

Notes:
(1) Assumes no exercise of the Over-allotment Right.
(2) Assumes the full exercise of the Over-allotment Right.
Reverse Takeover and Application of TSXV Policies
As the issuance of the Consideration Shares to LIRECA is expected to result: (i) in the creation of LIRECA as a new “Control Person” of Sanatana pursuant to the policies of the TSXV, and (ii) in new shareholders of Sanatana holding more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities of the Company, following the closing of the Proposed Acquisition and the Private Placement Offering; the Proposed Acquisition is therefore considered a “Reverse Takeover” pursuant to TSXV Policy 5.2 - Changes of Business and Reverse Takeovers (“Policy 5.2”). As the Proposed Acquisition will be a non-arm’s length “Reverse Takeover” for Sanatana, as such term is defined in Policy 5.2, Minority Approval will be required from the shareholders of the Company under TSXV policies. Pursuant to Section 4.3 of Policy 5.2, Sanatana is permitted to obtain Minority Approval for the Proposed Transactions by way of executed Consents, excluding the votes attaching to Common Shares held by “Non-Arm’s Length Parties to the COB or RTO” (as those terms are defined in the TSXV policies) and Common Shares held by Non-Arm’s Length Parties to Sanatana who are receiving any “collateral benefit” (as defined in MI 61-101).
As of the date hereof, the Company has not yet obtained conditional approval from the TSXV with respect to the Proposed Transactions and there is no assurance that such approval will be provided for the Proposed Transactions as currently contemplated or at all.
Upon completion of the Proposed Transactions, the Company (referred to as the “Resulting Issuer” post-closing of the Proposed Transactions) will continue to carry on the business of Sanatana and is expected to be listed on Tier 2 of the TSXV as a “Mining Issuer”.
Concurrent with the closing of the Proposed Transactions, Sanatana expects to change its name to “Gold Strike Resources Corp.” to better reflect the Resulting Issuer’s mineral properties in Yukon and British Columbia.
Additional Details of the Proposed Transactions
More information on the Proposed Transactions can be found in the Press Releases, the Definitive Agreement (including the forms of Royalty Agreements attached as schedules thereto) and the material change report dated and filed on the Company’s SEDAR+ profile on July 11, 2025. All documents filed on SEDAR+ are available at www.sedarplus.ca. In addition, the Company is preparing a comprehensive disclosure document, the Filing Statement (as defined herein), in compliance with TSXV Form 3D2, with respect to the Proposed Transactions and the Resulting Issuer. The Filing Statement will be filed on the Company’s SEDAR+ profile upon approval from the TSXV.
APPLICATION OF MI 61-101
The Company is subject to MI 61-101, which regulates certain transactions between an issuer and related parties which raise the potential for conflicts of interest and is intended to ensure that all securityholders are treated in a manner that is fair and that is perceived to be fair. Generally, MI 61-101 requires enhanced disclosure, approval by a majority of shareholders excluding “interested parties” (as defined in MI 61-101) and their related parties and joint actors and, in certain instances, independent valuations.
LIRECA is a “related party” of the Company, as it has beneficial ownership of, or control or direction over, directly or indirectly, securities of the Company carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all of the Company’s outstanding voting securities. Each of Florin and the Royalty Holder is a related party of the Company as each is an affiliated entity of LIRECA.
Accordingly, the Proposed Transactions constitute “related party transactions” pursuant to paragraphs (a) and (g) of the definition of “related party transaction” under MI 61-101 and, consequently, MI 61-101 requires that the Company obtain a formal valuation and minority approval of the Proposed Transactions (the “Minority Approval”) in the absence of exemptions therefrom.
Under Part 5 of MI 61-101, the Company is exempt from the formal valuation requirement pursuant to paragraph 5.5(b) of MI 61-101 as the securities of the Company are not listed or quoted on a specified market. No exemption is applicable from the Minority Approval requirements of section 5.3(2) of MI 61-101.
MINORITY APPROVAL
As the Proposed Transactions are related party transactions, it is subject to the Minority Approval requirements of MI 61-101. Minority Approval entails a simple majority of the votes cast by all holders of a class of “affected securities” (as defined in MI 61-101), voting as a single class, other than: (i) interested parties; (ii) any related party of an interested party, unless the related party meets that description solely in
7
its capacity as a director or senior officer of one or more persons that are neither an interested party nor “issuer insiders” (as defined in MI 61-101) of the Company; and (iii) any person that is a “joint actor” (as defined in MI 61-101) with any of the foregoing.
To the knowledge of the Company, after reasonable inquiry, LIRECA and its joint actors beneficially own and control or direct, 6,490,379 Common Shares, all of which are to be excluded from the Minority Approval of the Proposed Transactions.
As of the date of this Disclosure Document, the Company has received written support from shareholders holding 14,171,643 Common Shares, representing approximately 41.14% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares (without giving effect to the Proposed Acquisition and the Private Placement Offering) and approximately 50.69% of the Common Shares eligible to vote for the purposes of the Minority Approval, confirming that they will consent to the Proposed Transactions. See “Shareholder Support” for additional information. Accordingly, the Company is confident that Minority Approval will be obtained, and any marginal benefit of the Company calling a meeting of shareholders and mailing an information circular is outweighed by the unnecessary time and resources required of the Company to do so.
On the basis of the foregoing support, the Company has applied for exemptive relief (the “Exemptive Relief”) from the Ontario Securities Commission under section 9.1 of MI 61-101 from the requirements of section 5.3(2) of MI 61-101 to: (a) call a meeting of its shareholders to consider the Proposed Transactions, and (b) send an information circular to its shareholders in connection with such meeting. The requested Exemptive Relief is expected to provide that the Company is instead permitted to obtain Minority Approval by way of written consent by shareholders holding a majority of the Common Shares eligible to vote for the purposes of Minority Approval by executing and delivering a Consent in the form attached to this Disclosure Document as Schedule A. The Exemptive Relief has not been granted as of the date hereof. There can be no assurance that the Exemptive Relief will be granted.
If the Exemptive Relief is not granted, the Company will call a meeting of shareholders to seek Minority Approval and send an information circular to shareholders in accordance with MI 61-101, which would result in a delay in timing of the completion of the Proposed Transactions. The Consents will not be executed until the Exemptive Relief has been granted, the Filing Statement has been filed on the Company’s SEDAR+ profile, and a copy of the Exemptive Relief has been provided to the shareholders executing the Consent.
The Company is seeking the Exemptive Relief as the completion of the Proposed Transactions is conditional upon the Company obtaining the Minority Approval. The Company believes that if the Proposed Transactions are delayed by the requirement to hold a shareholder meeting, it would have a negative impact on the business and would increase costs.
FORMAL VALUATION
Completion of the Proposed Transactions is exempt from MI 61-101’s formal valuation requirement pursuant to paragraph 5.5(b) of MI 61-101, on the basis that no securities of the Company are listed or quoted on the Toronto Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Stock Market, or a stock exchange outside of Canada and the United States other than the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange or the PLUS market operated by PLUS Markets Group plc.

SHAREHOLDER SUPPORT
To date, the Company has contacted and has received written support from a small group of shareholders, being certain shareholders who participated in the recently closed June 4, 2025 private placement offerings (the “June 2025 Offerings”) and certain long-term shareholders (collectively, the “Supporting Shareholders”). All the Supporting Shareholders are eligible to vote to approve the Proposed Transactions in accordance with Part 8 of MI 61-101. The Supporting Shareholders hold an aggregate of 11,329,876 Common Shares, representing approximately 32.89% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares (without giving effect to the Proposed Acquisition and the Private Placement Offering) and approximately 40.52% of the Common Shares eligible to vote for the purposes of the Minority Approval. Although no formal support agreements have been entered into, the Supporting Shareholders have provided written comfort to the Company that they are prepared to execute the Consent required, subject to review of this Disclosure Document and the form of Consent.
In addition to the Supporting Shareholders, each director and officer of the Company, being Peter Miles, Buddy Doyle, Simon Anderson, Rose Zanic, and Anthony Dutton, all of whom are eligible to vote to approve the Proposed Transactions in accordance with Part 8 of MI 61-101 (the “Supporting Directors and Officers”), are supportive of the Proposed Transactions. The Supporting Directors and Officers collectively hold 2,841,767 Common Shares and are each expected to execute the Consent.

In light of the foregoing, the Company anticipates that it will receive executed Consents from all Supporting Shareholders and all Supporting Directors and Officers, who hold an aggregate of 14,171,643 Common Shares, representing an aggregate total of approximately 50.69% of the Common Shares eligible to be voted for purposes of the Minority Approval.

BACKGROUND TO TRANSACTION, BOARD APPROVAL AND RECOMMENDATION
On May 5, 2025, Sanatana and LIRECA entered into a quartz claim purchase agreement dated May 5, 2025 (the “Gold Strike Two Agreement”) pursuant to which Sanatana agreed to purchase the Gold Strike Two Project (Yukon) (the “Gold Strike Two Project”) from LIRECA in consideration for: (i) a cash payment in the amount of $250,000 payable as of closing and $250,000 to be held in escrow for 90 days, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Gold Strike Two Agreement; and (ii) the issuance of 6,000,000 Common Shares to LIRECA.
On June 4, 2025, LIRECA and its joint actors acquired the following securities of Sanatana (collectively, the “Security Acquisition”) in connection with the closing of the acquisition of the Gold Strike Two Project (the “Gold Strike Two Transaction”): (a) 6,000,000 Common Shares; and (b) 295,000 Common Share purchase warrants of the Company were acquired pursuant to a private placement completed concurrently with the closing of the Gold Strike Two Transaction.
In the press release issued by Sanatana on June 4, 2025 announcing the closing of the Gold Strike Two Transaction, the Company and John Fiorino, Principal of the Florin Group, publicly stated their intention to engage in further discussion regarding additional mineral property acquisitions amongst the parties. Up until this point, the parties had preliminary discussions regarding the Gold Strike One Project, and other
projects in the Florin Group’s stable of mineral properties, but were focused on completing the Gold Strike Two Transaction.
On June 6, 2025, Peter Miles, Chief Executive Officer of Sanatana, reached out to John Fiorino, resulting in the parties having an in-person meeting to further discuss potential transactions, specifically the acquisition by Sanatana of the Gold Strike One Project from LIRECA. The parties discussed general terms of a transaction in respect of the Gold Strike One Project, including the consideration, royalty, and bonus payments. The discussions and terms of the consideration and payments were guided and based on precedent transactions that legal counsel of the Company had provided to Peter Miles for similar types of transactions.
Throughout June 6, 2025 to July 1, 2025, the representatives and legal advisors of the parties continued to meet and hold discussions to negotiate the terms of the Definitive Agreement and finalize the transaction terms, including packaging the Abitibi Property into the possible transaction. The anticipated quantum of the Consideration Cash and Consideration Shares were not materially changed throughout the negotiations as, at the outset of discussions, Peter Miles and John Fiorino were aligned in the values of such figures.
During this period, Sanatana reviewed the historical information regarding the Gold Strike One Project and the Abitibi Property and focused its review of the Gold Strike One Project as that was the material property that Sanatana was seeking to acquire. Sanatana also reviewed a draft technical report with respect to the Gold Strike One Project that was prepared for Sanatana, authored by Derek Torgerson, P. Geo (Summit Geosciences Ltd.) and titled “NI 43-101 Technical report for the Gold Strike One Project, Yukon Territory” (the “Technical Report”).
Peter Miles led the negotiation for Sanatana, and kept the board of directors of Sanatana (the “Board”) abreast of the transaction terms and any material updates regarding the Gold Strike One Project and the Abitibi Property. While LIRECA has the right, but not the obligation, to nominate one director to the Board pursuant to the Gold Strike Two Agreement, LIRECA had not exercised such Board nomination right as of the date of the Definitive Agreement.
As such, the Board consists of four (4) directors, each of whom is independent in connection with the Proposed Transactions and the Private Placement Offering within the meaning of Part 7 of MI 61-101. Therefore, the Board did not deem it necessary to establish a special committee of independent directors to evaluate the Proposed Transactions.
At a meeting of the Board held on June 25, 2025, the Board discussed the economic terms of the Proposed Transactions and the implications of the Proposed Transactions being considered related party transactions under MI 61-101 and Policy 5.9. At this meeting, the Board asked questions to Peter Miles (and Buddy Doyle regarding the Gold Strike One Project) regarding the financial plan and the anticipated capital structure of the Company upon completion of the Proposed Transactions. The Board authorized Peter to finalize and enter into the Definitive Agreement once settled. The Definitive Agreement was ultimately finalized on July 1, 2025, and the parties executed the Definitive Agreement in the evening (Pacific time) on July 1, 2025. The Board unanimously ratified, confirmed, and approved the Definitive Agreement and the Proposed Transactions by consent resolutions dated July 2, 2025. See the sections “Benefits of the Proposed Transaction” and “Risks and Potentially Negative Factors” for a summary of factors that the Board considered in its discussions leading up to the entry into the Definitive Agreement.
Benefits of the Proposed Transactions
In reaching the determination that Proposed Transactions was in the best interests of the Company, the Board considered a number of substantive benefits:
11
Significant Presence in Yukon: Upon the acquisition of the Gold Strike One Project, Sanatana's presence in the Rogue Plutonic Complex (Yukon), which was recently recognized due to Snowline Gold Corp's discovery relating to its Valley Deposit, materially increases and provides expanded opportunities for the Company to pursue an expanded planned exploration program in Yukon.¹ By holding both the Gold Strike Two Project and Gold Strike One Project, the Company would realize cost efficiencies when conducting exploration activities on both properties.
Consideration Payable: The Consideration Cash would be funded through the Private Placement Offering, thereby not straining the Company's working capital or abilities to pursue exploration activities on its newly acquired properties. In addition, Florin Group's willingness to receive a substantial portion of the consideration via the Consideration Shares also demonstrated a vote of confidence to the Board from the Florin Group and its intent to maintain an equity interest in the Gold Strike One Project that aligned with the interests of the Company's shareholders.
Timing of the Definitive Agreement: Although the mining exploration season in Yukon is susceptible to extreme seasonality, the Company felt they had the support and resources to enable the Company to close the Proposed Transactions on an expedited basis and commence mining exploration activities in 2025 before the seasonality in Yukon would completely prevent any such activities from taking place for the rest of the year.
Control Person. The Board discussed the implications of LIRECA becoming a "Control Person" (as such term is defined under the policies of the TSXV) of the Company upon completion of the Proposed Acquisition. The Board considered that since John Fiorino, as principal of LIRECA, has a commendable track record in the Canadian mining exploration industry and experience with mining activities in Yukon, he could bring value to the Company as a significant shareholder, especially as it relates to the Company's anticipated focus on exploration activities in Yukon.
Certain of these anticipated benefits and factors are based on various assumptions and are subject to various risks. See the section of the Disclosure Document entitled "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information".
Risks and Potentially Negative Factors
Closing Conditions and Approvals. The completion of the Proposed Acquisition is subject to several conditions that must be satisfied or waived, including obtaining Minority Approval and approval from the TSXV. Obtaining such approvals will require resources and are additional costs that the Company must incur. In addition, as the Proposed Acquisition is considered a Reverse Takeover under Policy 5.2, the Company is preparing a comprehensive disclosure document in compliance with TSXV Form 3D2 (a "Filing Statement"). The Company recognizes that the preparation and approval of the Filing Statement may require significant time and costs and there is no guarantee that the TSXV approves the Proposed Acquisition as currently contemplated. The failure to complete the Proposed Acquisition could negatively impact the value of the Common Shares.
Timing Risk. Although the Company believes it will be able to close the Proposed Acquisition on a timely basis in order to conduct exploration activities at the Gold Strike One Project in August 2025, there is no guarantee that the Proposed Acquisition can be completed as of such timeline. Absent the Proposed Acquisition closing by mid-August 2025, the Company will likely be prevented from conducting any exploration activities on the Gold Strike One Project until late spring next year (i.e., in or around May
¹ See press release of Snowline Gold Corp. dated June 17, 2024.
2026), thereby incurring nearly a year of unnecessary expenses and carrying costs for the Gold Strike One Project without moving exploration forward on the project.
The foregoing factors are not intended to be exhaustive but include the material factors considered by the Board in making its determinations and recommendations. The Board did not consider it practicable to, and did not assign specific weights to, any of the factors considered in reaching their determinations and recommendations, and individual members of the Board may have given different weights to different factors. The conclusions and recommendation of the Board were made after considering the totality of the information and factors involved. The above factors are not presented in any order of priority.
The foregoing discussion of the information and factors considered by the Board contains forward-looking information and statements, all of which are subject to various risks and assumptions. This information should be read in light of the factors described under the section entitled "cautionary statement regarding forward-looking statements".
PRIOR VALUATIONS
