Related Party Transaction

Certain of the directors, officers and other related parties of the Company hold an aggregate of 8,230,000 Options subject to the Option Repricing.

It is expected that pursuant to sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, the Company will be exempt from obtaining a formal valuation and minority approval of the Company's shareholders as the fair market value of repriced Options held by related parties of the Company is expected to be below 25% of the Company's market capitalization as determined in accordance with MI 61-101.
