Finders' fees may be payable in connection with the Offering and those qualified persons involved as finders will receive a cash fee of up to 7% of the proceeds raised and non-transferable warrants (having the same terms as the warrants forming part of the Units) of up to 7% of the total number of Units sold.

All securities issued under the private placement will be subject to a four month hold period from the closing date under applicable Canadian securities laws, in addition to such other restrictions as may apply under applicable securities laws of jurisdictions outside Canada. The private placement is subject to all necessary regulatory approvals including from the TSX Venture Exchange.

Lincoln intends to use the proceeds raised from the private placement for general working capital.
