Each Unit consists of one (1) common share of the Company (a "Common Share") and one half (1/2) of one warrant ("Warrant"). Each full Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share of the Company at a price of $0.10 per Common Share for a period of 18 months from the closing date. The term of the Warrants is subject to an acceleration right at the option of the Company, provided that the common shares of the Company trade at or above $0.25 for a full 20 consecutive trading days after March 1, 2013 and the Company has provided Warrant holders with 30 days prior written notice of the accelerated Warrant exercise date. The securities are subject to a four month hold period expiring March 1, 2013.
Yannis Banks, Quia's CEO, said: "We're very pleased to have closed on this initial amount despite the trying market conditions. We thank our subscribers for their continued commitment to Quia and the San Lucas project and are particularly pleased to have the continued support of our largest shareholders."
