Each full warrant entitles the holder to purchase an additional common share at $0.25 for two years from closing of the private placement. Each NFTU will consist of one common share and one (1) share purchase warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase an additional common share at $0.25 for two years from the closing of the private placement.
