Each Compensation Warrant is exercisable into one Common Share at an exercise price of C$0.11 and expires June 23, 2025.
Crescat Capital LLC (“ Crescat ”), an insider of the Company, participated in the Private Placement. Accordingly, the Private Placement constitutes a “related-party transaction” under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“ MI 61-101 ”). The Private Placement is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as the Company is not listed or quoted on any of the stock exchanges or markets listed in subsection 5.5(b) of MI 61-101, and the fair market value of the securities to be distributed and the consideration to be received for the securities issued to Crescat under the Offering does not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
Prior to the Private Placement, Crescat, together with any person acting jointly and in concert with Crescat, owned and controlled 46,670,249 Common Shares of Tectonic and held common share purchase warrants entitling Crescat to acquire an additional 16,933,332 Common Shares.

The Warrants issued to Crescat contain a restriction that the holder may not exercise the Warrant if the exercise would result in Crescat, together with any person acting jointly in concert with Crescat, owning more than 19.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares following the exercise.
The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing of the Private Placement as the details of the Private Placement and the participation therein by Crescat was not settled until shortly prior to closing of the Private Placement.
