The Agents will be paid a cash commission (the “Agents’ Fee”) equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds from the Offering.

The Agents shall receive a 2% Agents’ Fee and 6% Broker Warrants in respect of specified gross proceeds from the President’s List.
The Offering is expected to close on or about August 11, 2020 and will be subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals. The Units and securities underlying them will be subject to a six month hold period in accordance with applicable securities laws.
