Investors should read the Prospectus and any applicable Prospectus Supplement carefully before investing in the Securities.
This Prospectus constitutes a public offering of the Securities only in those jurisdictions where they may be lawfully offered for sale and only by persons permitted to sell the Securities in such jurisdictions. The Company may offer and sell Securities to, or through, underwriters or dealers, directly to one or more other purchasers, or through agents pursuant to exemptions from registration or qualification under applicable securities laws. A Prospectus Supplement relating to each issue of Securities will set forth the
names of any underwriters, dealers or agents involved in the offering and sale of the Securities and will set forth the terms of the offering of the Securities, the initial issue price (in the event that the offering is a fixed price distribution), the method of distribution of the Securities, including, to the extent applicable, the proceeds to the Company and any fees, discounts, concessions or other compensation payable to the underwriters, dealers or agents, and any other material terms of the plan of distribution.

If offered on a non-fixed price basis, Securities may be offered at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices determined by reference to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices, which prices may vary as between purchasers and during the period of distribution of the Securities.
This Prospectus may qualify an "at-the-market" distribution (as such term is defined in National Instrument 44-102 – Shelf Distributions ("NI 44-102"). In connection with any offering of the Securities (unless otherwise specified in a Prospectus Supplement), other than an "at-the-market distribution", the underwriters or agents may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities offered at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be interrupted or discontinued at any time. A purchaser who acquires Securities forming part of the underwriter's over allocation position acquires those securities under this Prospectus and the relevant prospectus supplement, regardless of whether the over-allocation position is filled through the exercise of the over-allotment option or secondary market purchases. See "Plan of Distribution".
The Company's outstanding Common Shares are listed and posted for trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE") under the symbol "NXT" and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol "Z12".

The Company has negative operating cash flow for the year ended March 31, 2024 and the nine months ended December 31, 2024. To the extent that the Company has negative operating cash flow in future periods, it may need to allocate a portion of its cash reserves to fund such negative cash flow. The Company may also be required to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or debt securities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate positive cash flow from its operations, that additional capital or other types of financing will be available when needed or that these financings will be on terms favourable to the Company.

THE COMPANY
The Company is a Canadian technology company specializing in the development and acquisition of revenue-generating Micro-technology digital platforms. The Company’s first business was the website and business of PCS, an e-commerce platform facilitating direct wholesaler-to-consumer sales of premium gaming electronics and other specialized hardware. Recently, the Company has focused its efforts on developing its Cloud AI Hosting business, which is a business line for cloud AI hosting, a hardware-as-a-service business whereby the computing power of NextGen’s specialized hardware workstations are leased to third-party end users for artificial intelligence applications, via a cloud-based portal. The Company anticipates potential synergies between PCS and Cloud AI Hosting through shared marketing and the potential resale of workstations on PCS. From time to time the Company also intends to evaluate and acquire or develop other Micro-technology platforms.
The Company’s e-commerce platform, PCS, offers a variety of premium PC gaming technologies and other specialized hardware, including productivity hardware, from well-known brands such as ASUS, Corsair, Dell, and others. The Company sources its products from reputable manufacturers and suppliers in the industry. The Company’s initial competitive strategy is centred on pricing, wherein products are sourced from suppliers offering the most cost-effective rates. Additionally, limited-time discounts or other promotions are offered from time to time to attract new customers. The Company demonstrates a proactive approach to managing its product mix by closely monitoring evolving market trends and customer preferences. In addition to PCS, the Company is building a business line referred to as Cloud AI Hosting, a hardware-as-a-service business whereby the computing power of NextGen’s specialized hardware workstations are leased, for an hourly rental fee, to third-party end users for artificial intelligence applications, via a cloud-based portal.
The Company’s core competencies include managing and optimizing high-performance computing infrastructure, with a focus on delivering scalable, technology-driven services. The Company is seeking to expand its fleet of computing workstations for its Cloud AI Hosting business and is exploring potential, value-additive asset acquisitions.
In line with its existing capabilities and business strategy, the Company is expanding its operations into the digital asset ecosystem, including cryptocurrency mining, staking, and blockchain infrastructure support (collectively, “Digital Asset Infrastructure Operations”). This expansion represents a strategic extension of the Company’s current business activities, forming a third operational segment that complements its Cloud AI Hosting and e-commerce lines.
As part of this expansion, the Company plans to acquire or purchase digital assets (cryptocurrency) specifically for use in staking activities. These assets will be deployed as part of the Company’s infrastructure operations to validate blockchain transactions, earn staking rewards, and enhance network
4
security. The acquisition of cryptocurrency for staking purposes is an operational input, similar to acquiring hardware or computing resources, rather than a passive financial investment.
The Company's expansion into Digital Asset Infrastructure Operations is not only a strategic extension of its business but also reflects the Company's expertise in managing and optimizing complex, technology-driven operations. The Company's experience with GPU fleets and technology infrastructure is expected to position the Company to actively contribute to the growing digital asset economy, creating value by providing infrastructure services and securing decentralized networks.
This initiative aligns with the Company's strategy of maximizing the utilization of its hardware assets and capitalizing on growth opportunities within the broader digital ecosystem.

Conflicts Of Interest
The directors of the Company are required by law to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and to disclose any interests which they may have in any project or opportunity of the Company. If a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the board of directors, any director in a conflict will disclose his interest and abstain from voting on such matter.
There are no known existing or potential conflicts of interest among the Company, its promoters, directors and officers or other members of management of the Company or of any proposed promoter, director, officer or other member of management as a result of their outside business interests except that certain of the directors and officers serve as directors and officers of other companies and, therefore, it is possible that a conflict may arise between their duties to the Company and their duties as a director or officer of such other companies.
CONSOLIDATED CAPITALIZATION
There have been no material changes in the Company's share and loan capitalization, on a consolidated basis, since March 31, 2025, being the date of the Company's most recently filed financial statements incorporated by reference in this Prospectus other than as described under "Prior Sales".
USE OF PROCEEDS
The use of proceeds from the sale of Securities will be described in a Prospectus Supplement relating to a specific issuance of Securities. This information will include the net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Securities, the use of those proceeds and the specific business objectives that the Company expects to accomplish with those proceeds. Unless otherwise specified in a Prospectus Supplement, the net proceeds from the sale of Securities will be used for working capital, sales and marketing, and general corporate purposes. More detailed information regarding any determinable milestones at the applicable time will be described in any applicable Prospectus Supplement.
9
All expenses relating to an offering of Securities and any compensation paid to underwriters, dealers or agents, as the case may be, will be paid out of our general funds, unless otherwise stated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.
The Company has negative operating cash flow for the year ended March 31, 2025. To the extent that the Company has negative operating cash flow in future periods, it may need to allocate a portion of its cash reserves to fund such negative cash flow. The Company may also be required to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or debt securities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate a positive cash flow from its operations, that additional capital or other types of financing will be available when needed or that these financings will be on terms favourable to the Company.

Description of Debt Securities
This section describes the general terms that will apply to any Debt Securities that may be offered by the Company pursuant to a Prospectus Supplement to this Prospectus. Debt Securities may be offered separately or together with other Securities. The specific terms of the Debt Securities, and the extent to which the general terms described in this section apply to those Debt Securities, will be set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.
The Debt Securities will be direct obligations of the Company and may be guaranteed by the Company and/or an affiliate or associate of the Company. The Debt Securities may be senior or subordinated indebtedness of the Company and may be secured or unsecured, all as described in the relevant Prospectus Supplement. In the event of the insolvency or winding up of the Company, the subordinated indebtedness of the Company, including the subordinated Debt Securities, will be subordinate in right of

The Debt Securities will be issued under one or more trust indentures (each, a “Trust Indenture”), in each case between the Company and a trustee (each, an “Indenture Trustee”). The statements made hereunder relating to any Trust Indenture and the Debt Securities to be issued thereunder are only references to the customary anticipated provisions and may differ materially for any final Trust Indenture to which reference will need to be made by any investor.
A Trust Indenture will provide that Debt Securities may be issued thereunder up to a stated aggregate principal amount or may provide that amounts may be authorized from time to time by the Company.
The particular terms of each issue of Debt Securities will be described in the related Prospectus Supplement. Such description will include, as applicable:

- the percentage of the principal amount at which such Debt Securities will be issued;
- the date or dates on which such Debt Securities will mature and be due for repayment;
- the rate or rates per annum at which such Debt Securities will bear interest (if any), or the method of determination of such rates (if any);

- any exchange or conversion terms into other Securities;
- whether the Debt Securities will be subordinated to other liabilities of the Company and, if so, to what extent;
13

Debt Securities may be issued at various times with different maturity dates, may bear interest at different rates and may otherwise vary.
Units
This section describes the customary terms that will apply to Units that may be offered by the Company pursuant to a Prospectus Supplement to this Prospectus.
The following sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the Units under this Prospectus. The following sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the Units offered pursuant to an accompanying Prospectus Supplement, and the extent to which the general terms described in this section apply to those Units, will be set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.
The Units may be comprised of one or more of the other Securities described in the Prospectus in any combination. Each Unit will be issued so that the holder of the Unit is also the holder of each of the Securities included in the Unit. Thus, the holder of a Unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included Security. The unit agreement, if any, under which a Unit is issued may provide that the Securities included in the Unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any time before a specified date.
The particular terms of each issue of Units will be described in the related Prospectus Supplement. Such description will include, where applicable:
a) the number of Units offered;
b) the price or prices, if any, at which the Units will be issued;
c) the currency at which the Units will be offered;
d) the Securities comprising the Units;
e) whether the Units will be issued with any other Securities and, if so, the amount and terms of these Securities;
f) any minimum or maximum subscription amount;
g) whether the Units and the Securities comprising the Units are to be issued in registered form, "book-entry only" form, non-certificated inventory system form, bearer form or in the form of temporary or permanent global securities and the basis of exchange, transfer and ownership thereof;
h) any material risk factors relating to such Units or the Securities comprising the Units;
i) any other rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the Units or the Securities comprising the Units; and
14
j) any other material terms or conditions of the Units or the Securities comprising the Units, including whether and under what circumstances the Securities comprising the Units may be held or transferred separately.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Company may offer and sell Securities directly to one or more purchasers, to underwriters or dealers acting as principal or through agents, underwriters or dealers designated by us from time to time. The Company may distribute the Securities from time to time in one or more transactions at fixed prices (which may be changed from time to time), at market prices prevailing at the times of sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices, including sales in transactions that are deemed to be "at-the-market distributions" (as defined in NI 44-102). A description of such manner of sale and pricing will be disclosed in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. The Company may offer different classes of Securities in the same offering, or the Company may offer different classes of Securities in separate offerings.
In addition, the Securities may be offered and issued by the Company in consideration for the acquisition of other businesses, assets or securities by the Company. The consideration for any such acquisition may consist of the Securities separately, a combination of Securities or any combination of, among other things, Securities, cash and assumption of liabilities.
A Prospectus Supplement will describe the terms of each specific offering of Securities, including: (i) the terms of the Securities to which the Prospectus Supplement relates, including the type of Security being offered; (ii) the name or names of any agents, underwriters or dealers involved in such offering of Securities; (iii) the purchase price of the Securities offered thereby and the proceeds to, and the portion of expenses borne by, the Company from the sale of such Securities; (iv) a description to be provided by agents, underwriters or dealers in relation to the offering; (v) any agents' commission, underwriting discounts and other items constituting compensation payable to agents, underwriters or dealers; and (vi) any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to agents, underwriters or dealers.
If underwriters are used in an offering, the Securities offered thereby will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase Securities will be subject to the conditions precedent agreed upon by the parties and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all Securities under that offering if any are purchased. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to agents, underwriters or dealers may be changed from time to time.
In connection with any offering of Securities, other than an "at-the-market distribution", unless otherwise specified in a Prospectus Supplement, underwriters or agents may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of Securities offered at levels other than those which might otherwise prevail on the open market. Such transactions may be commenced, interrupted or discontinued at any time. A purchaser who acquires securities forming part of an underwriter's over allocation position, acquires those securities under this Prospectus and the relevant prospectus supplement, regardless of whether the over-allocation position is filled through the exercise of the over-allotment option or secondary market purchases. No underwriter of the at-the-market distribution, and no person or company acting jointly or in concert with an underwriter, may, in connection with the distribution, enter into any transaction that is intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities or securities of the same class as the Securities distributed under the Prospectus, including selling an aggregate number or principal amount of Securities that would result in the underwriter creating an over-allocation position in the Securities.
15
The Securities may also be sold: (i) directly by the Company at such prices and upon such terms as agreed to; or (ii) through agents designated by the Company from time to time. Any agent involved in the offering and sale of the Securities in respect of which this Prospectus is delivered will be named, and any commissions payable by the Company to such agent will be set forth, in the Prospectus Supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in the Prospectus Supplement, any agent is acting on a “best efforts” basis for the period of its appointment.
The Company may agree to pay the underwriters a commission for various services relating to the issue and sale of any Securities offered under any Prospectus Supplement. Agents, underwriters or dealers who participate in the distribution of the Securities may be entitled under agreements to be entered into with the Company to indemnification by the Company against certain liabilities, including liabilities under securities legislation, or to contribution with respect to payments which such agents, underwriters and dealers may be required to make in respect thereof. Such underwriters, and dealers and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for, the Company in the ordinary course of business.
Each class or series of Warrants, Subscription Receipts and Units will be a new issue of Securities with no established trading market. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, Warrants, Subscription Receipts or Units will not be listed on any securities or stock exchange. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, there is no market through which the Warrants, Subscription Receipts or Units may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell Warrants, Subscription Receipts or Units purchased under this Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement. This may affect the pricing of the Warrants, Subscription Receipts or Units in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the Securities, and the extent of issuer regulation. Subject to applicable laws, certain dealers may make a market in the Warrants, Subscription Receipts or Units, as applicable, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given that any dealer will make a market in the Warrants, Subscription Receipts or Units or as to the liquidity of the trading market, if any, for the Warrants, Subscription Receipts or Units.
The Securities have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or any state securities laws. Accordingly, the Securities may not be offered, sold or delivered within the United States, and each underwriter or agent for any offering of Securities will agree that it will not offer, sell or deliver the Securities within the United States, except pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act provided by Rule 144A thereunder (“Rule 144A”) and in compliance with applicable state securities laws. In addition, until 40 days after the commencement of the offering of Securities, any offer or sale of such Securities within the United States by a dealer (whether or not participating in the offering) may violate the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act if such offer or sale is made otherwise than in accordance with Rule 144A.
This Prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the Securities in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in the securities of the Company is speculative and subject to risks and uncertainties. The occurrence of any one or more of these risks or uncertainties could have a material adverse effect on the value of any investment in the Company and the business, prospects, financial position, financial condition or operating results of the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems immaterial may also impair the Company's business operations.
Prospective investors should carefully consider all information contained in this Prospectus, including all documents incorporated by reference, and in particular should give special consideration to the risk factors under the section titled "Risk Factors" in the Long Form Prospectus and in the section entitled "Trends, Risks and Uncertainties" in the Interim Financial Statements which are incorporated by reference in this Prospectus and which may be accessed on the Company's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca, and the information contained in the section entitled "Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information". Additionally, purchasers should consider the risk factors set forth below.
The risks and uncertainties described or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus are not the only ones the Company may face. Additional risks and uncertainties that the Company is unaware of, or that the Company currently deems not to be material, may also become important factors that affect the Company. If any such risks actually occur, the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected, with the result that the trading price of the Common Shares could decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment.
Use of Proceeds
While information regarding the use of proceeds from the sale the Securities will be described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Company will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from an offering of Securities. Because of the number and variability of factors that will determine the use of such proceeds, the Company's ultimate use might vary substantially from its planned use. Purchasers of Securities may not agree with how the Company allocates or spends the proceeds from an offering of Securities. The Company may pursue acquisitions, collaborations or other opportunities that do
not result in an increase in the market value of our Securities, including the market value of the Common Shares, and that may increase our losses.
Return on Investment is not Guaranteed
There is no government or other guarantee that an investment in the Securities described herein will provide any positive return in the short term or long term. An investment in the Securities of the Company is speculative and involves a high degree of risk and should be undertaken only by investors whose financial resources are sufficient to enable them to assume such risks and who have no need for immediate liquidity in their investment. An investment in the securities of the Company described herein is appropriate only for holders who have the capacity to absorb a loss of some or all of their investment.
Negative Cash Flow from Operations
During the year ended March 31, 2025, the Company had negative cash flow from operating activities. The Company anticipates it will have negative cash flow from operating activities in future periods. To the extent that the Company has negative cash flow in any future period, certain of the net proceeds from the Offering may be used to fund such negative cash flow from operating activities, if any.
Cryptocurrencies Risk
Cryptocurrencies have a limited history; their fair values have historically been volatile, and the value of cryptocurrencies held by the Company could decline rapidly. A decline in the market prices of cryptocurrencies could negatively impact the Company's future operations. Historical performance of cryptocurrencies is not indicative of their future performance.
Many cryptocurrency networks are online end-user-to-end-user networks that host a public transaction ledger (blockchain) and the source code that comprises the basis for the cryptographic and algorithmic protocols governing such networks. In many cryptocurrency transactions, the recipient or the buyer must provide its public key, which serves as an address for a digital wallet, to the seller. In the data packets distributed from cryptocurrency software programs to confirm transaction activity, each party to the transaction user must sign transactions with a data code derived from entering the private key into a hashing algorithm, which signature serves as validation that the transaction has been authorized by the owner of the cryptocurrency. This process is vulnerable to hacking and malware and could lead to theft of the Company's digital wallets and the loss of the Company's cryptocurrency.
Cryptocurrencies are loosely regulated and there is no central marketplace for exchange. Supply is determined by a computer code, not a central bank. Additionally, exchanges may suffer from operational issues, such as delayed execution, which could have an adverse effect on the Company.
The cryptocurrency exchanges on which the Company may trade on are relatively new and, in many cases, largely unregulated, and therefore may be more exposed to fraud and failure than regulated exchanges for other assets. Any financial, security, or operational difficulties experienced by such exchanges may result in an inability of the Company to recover money or cryptocurrencies being held on the exchange. Further, the Company may be unable to recover cryptocurrencies awaiting transmission into or out of the exchange, all of which could adversely affect an investment of the Company. Additionally, to the extent that the digital asset exchanges representing a substantial portion of the volume in digital asset trading are involved in fraud or experience security failures or other operational issues, such digital asset exchanges' failures may result in loss or less favorable prices of cryptocurrencies, or may adversely affect the Company, its operations, and its investments.
19
Furthermore, crypto-exchanges engage in commingling their client's assets in exchange wallets. When crypto-assets are commingled transactions are not recorded on the applicable blockchain ledger but are only recorded by the exchange. Therefore, there is a risk around the occurrence of transactions or existence of period end balances represented by exchanges.
Loss of Access Risk
The loss of access to the private keys associated with the Company's cryptocurrency holdings may be irreversible and could adversely affect an investment. Cryptocurrencies are controllable only by an individual that posses both the unique public key and private key or keys relating to the "digital wallet" in which the cryptocurrency is held. To the extent a private key is lost, destroyed, or otherwise compromised and no backup is accessible the Company may be unable to access the cryptocurrency. Irrevocability of transactions Cryptocurrency transactions are irrevocable and stolen or incorrectly transferred cryptocurrencies may be irretrievable. Once a transaction has been verified and recorded in a block that is added to the blockchain, an incorrect transfer or theft generally will not be reversible, and the Company may not be capable of seeking compensation.
No Certainty of a Trading Market (other than for Common Shares)
There is currently no market through which the Securities (other than Common Shares) may be sold and purchasers of such Securities may not be able to resell such Securities purchased under a Prospectus Supplement to this Prospectus. Unless otherwise provided in such Prospectus Supplement, there can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop for such Securities after an offering or, if developed, that such market will be sustained. This may affect the pricing of such Securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of such Securities and the extent of issuer regulation. The public offering prices of the Securities may be determined by negotiation between the Company and underwriters based on several factors and may bear no relationship to the prices at which the Securities will trade in the public market subsequent to such offering. See "Plan of Distribution".
Future Sales May Affect the Market Price of the Company Shares
In order to finance future operations, the Company will need to raise funds through the issuance of either additional Common Shares or the issuance of debt instruments or other securities which may or may not be convertible into Common Shares. The Company cannot predict the size of future issuances of Common Shares or the issuance of debt instruments or other securities convertible into Common Shares or the dilutive effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of the Company's securities will have on the market price of the Common Shares. These sales may have an adverse impact on the market price of the Common Shares.

STATUTORY RIGHTS OF WITHDRAWAL AND RECISSION
Securities legislation in certain of the provinces and territories of Canada provides purchasers with the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase Securities. This right may be exercised within two business days after receipt or deemed receipt of a prospectus or a Prospectus Supplement (including a pricing supplement) relating to the Securities purchased by a purchaser and any amendment thereto. In several of the provinces and territories of Canada, the securities legislation further provides a purchaser with remedies for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, damages, if the prospectus or Prospectus Supplement
(including a pricing supplement) relating to the Securities purchased by a purchaser and any amendment thereto contains a misrepresentation or is not delivered to the purchaser, provided that the remedies for rescission or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser's province or territory. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser's province or territory for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal adviser.
In an offering of convertible, exchangeable or exercisable Securities, investors are cautioned that the statutory right of action for damages for a misrepresentation contained in the prospectus is limited, in certain provincial or territorial securities legislation, to the price at which the convertible, exchangeable or exercisable Securities is offered to the public under the prospectus offering. This means that, under the securities legislation of certain provinces or territories, if the purchaser pays additional amounts upon conversion, exchange or exercise of the security, those amounts may not be recoverable under the statutory right of action for damages that applies in those provinces. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser's province or territory for the particulars of this right of action for damages or consult with a legal adviser.
CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS OF RESCISSION
In addition to statutory rights of withdrawal and rescission, original purchasers of Warrants (if offered separately from other Securities) and Subscription Receipts (or Units comprised partly thereof) will have a contractual right of rescission against the Company in respect of the exercise of such Warrant or Subscription Receipt, as the case may be.
The contractual right of rescission will entitle such original purchasers to receive, in addition to the amount paid on original purchase of the Warrant or Subscription Receipt (or Units comprised partly thereof), as the case may be, the amount paid upon exercise upon surrender of the underlying Securities gained thereby, in the event that this Prospectus (as supplemented or amended) contains a misrepresentation, provided that: (i) the conversion, exchange or exercise takes place within 180 days of the date of the purchase of the Warrant or Subscription Receipt under this Prospectus; and (ii) the right of rescission is exercised within 180 days of the date of purchase of the Warrant or Subscription Receipt under this Prospectus. This contractual right of rescission will be consistent with the statutory right of rescission described under Section 131 of the Securities Act (British Columbia) and is in addition to any other right or remedy available to original purchasers under Section 131 of the Securities Act (British Columbia) or otherwise at law.
Original purchasers are further advised that, in certain provinces, the statutory right of action for damages in connection with a prospectus misrepresentation is limited to the amount paid for the security that was purchased under a prospectus, and therefore a further payment at the time of exercise may not be recoverable in a statutory action for damages. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser's province for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal adviser.
