The proceeds raised from the Private Placement will be used for general corporate and working capital requirements.
The Shares are subject to a four month hold period expiring on August 9, 2016.
The Private Placement constitutes a related party transaction under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company relied upon exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 available pursuant to sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(b) of MI 61-101, as the Company is not listed on a senior specified stock exchange and the Private Placement raised proceeds of less than Cdn$2,500,000.
The first tranche of the Private Placement closed shortly after the completion of the share purchase transaction between Mr. Lin and Cheng Kam On, previously the controlling shareholder and former Chairman of the Company, pursuant to which Mr. Lin acquired beneficial ownership of 51,333,333 common shares of the Company. As a result of this transaction and the Private Placement, Mr. Lin holds approximately 65.98% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company.
