In addition, it is contemplated that the common shares of Giyani will be consolidated on a basis to be determined by the parties.
The Transaction is an arms length transaction and is expected to be structured as a Reverse Takeover ("RTO") pursuant to Policy 5.2 - of the TSXV. However, the legal structure for the Transaction will be determined after the parties have considered all applicable tax, securities law, and accounting efficiencies.

We have reviewed many potential transactions over the past year and I have every confidence that pursuing this opportunity with Crystal will be rewarding for all stakeholders.
