Pursuant to the financing, the Company will pay a finder’s fee equal to 5% of a portion of the gross proceeds of the sale of the Shares and issue 124,811 non-transferable finder’s warrants. Each finder’s warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Share at $0.70 for a period of 24 months after the date the private placement closes.
