Existing Shareholders will be eligible to purchase Units under the Financing pursuant to the "existing security holder" prospectus exemption recently adopted in all Canadian jurisdictions other than Ontario and Newfoundland. As a result of the adoption of the new instruments, there is no longer a need for an Existing Shareholder to qualify under the "accredited investor" or other exemption in order to participate in the Financing, however Existing Shareholders who do not receive advice regarding the suitability of their investment from a registered investment dealer may not purchase more than $15,000 of securities of the Company under this exemption in any 12 month period.
