Risks and Uncertainties
The Corporation has a limited history of existence. There can be no assurance that a Qualifying Transaction will be completed. Equity or debt financing may be required to complete a Qualifying Transaction. There can be no assurance that the Corporation will be able to obtain adequate financing to continue operations. The securities of the Corporation should be considered a highly speculative investment. The following risk factors should be given special consideration when evaluating an investment in any of the Corporation's securities:
- (a) until completion of a Qualifying Transaction, the Corporation is not permitted to carry on any business other than the identification and evaluation of potential Qualifying Transactions;
- (b) the Corporation has only limited funds with which to identify and evaluate potential Qualifying Transactions and there can be no assurance that the Corporation will be able to identify a suitable Qualifying Transaction;
- (c) even if a proposed Qualifying Transaction is identified, there can be no assurance that the Corporation will be able to successfully complete the transaction;
- (d) the Qualifying Transaction may be financed in all or part by the issuance of additional securities by the Corporation and this may result in further dilution to the investor, which dilution may be significant and which may also result in a change of control of the Corporation;
- (e) there can be no assurance that an active and liquid market for the Corporation's common shares will develop and an investor may find it difficult to resell its common shares;
- (f) upon public announcement of a proposed Qualifying Transaction, trading in the Corporation's common shares will be halted and will remain halted for an indefinite period of time, typically until a Sponsor has been retained and certain preliminary reviews have been conducted. The Corporation's common shares will be reinstated to trading before the Exchange has reviewed the transaction and before the Sponsor has completed its full review. Reinstatement to trading provides no assurance with respect to the merits of the transaction or the likelihood of the Corporation completing the proposed Qualifying Transaction; and
- (g) trading in the Corporation's common shares may be halted at other times for other reasons, including for failure by the Corporation to submit documents to the Exchange in the time periods required.
