The offering of the AF Subscription Receipts and the FT Share Subscription Receipts (each a "Subscription Receipt" and collectively the "Subscription Receipts Financing") is anticipated to close on or before April 15, 2019. The funds received from the Subscription Receipts Financing will be held in escrow pending completion of the Transaction.

Upon satisfaction of the Conditions, each Subscription Receipt will, for no additional consideration, be automatically converted into one common share of Rockcliff. Securities issued pursuant to the Additional Financing will be subject to a statutory four month and one day hold period from the closing of the Subscription Receipts Financing.

Existing Shareholder Offering

The Additional Financing will be open to participation by existing shareholders of Rockcliff (the "Existing Shareholder Offering") resident in Canada as of the record date of February 5, 2019 (the "Record Date"). The Existing Shareholder Offering consists of up to $450,000 of the Additional Financing or 3,000,000 AF Subscription Receipts priced at $0.15 per Subscription Receipt. The Existing Shareholder Offering will be open until April 15, 2019. In respect of the Existing Shareholder Offering, there is no minimum offering and the maximum offering is $450,000. All securities issued pursuant to the Existing Shareholder Offering are subject to a statutory four month hold period and regulatory approval.

The Existing Shareholder Offering will proceed by way of an offering of subscription receipts of Rockcliff (each, a "Subscription Receipt") issued at a price of $0.15 per AF Subscription Receipt. Upon satisfaction of the Conditions, each AF Subscription Receipt will, for no additional consideration, be automatically converted into one common share of Rockcliff.

The Company intends to use the proceeds raised from the Existing Shareholder Offering for general working capital.

Shareholders interested in participating in the Existing Shareholder Offering should contact, or have their registered broker contact, Bill Johnstone, Corporate Secretary of Rockcliff, at bjohnstone@grllp.com or (416) 865-6605 to obtain a copy of the subscription agreement for Subscription Receipts. Requests should be received by no later than April 9, 2019 so that subscription agreements can be signed and funds can be received by Rockcliff by no later than April 11, 2019.

In the existing shareholder subscription agreements, subscribers will be required to represent that they held common shares of Rockcliff on the Record Date and will continue to hold common shares on closing, indicate the total number of Subscription Receipts they wish to subscribe for at the price of $0.15 per Subscription Receipt and provide funds (certified cheque or wire transfer) for the purchase of the Subscription Receipts. The Existing Shareholder Offering is being allocated to existing shareholder subscribers on a "first come, first served" basis wherein the subscribers who are first to submit a completed subscription agreement and pay the corresponding subscription proceeds will be accepted up until the maximum amount of the Existing Shareholder Offering is reached. The sale of the Subscription Receipts will remain open until April 15, 2019.

In the event that there is an over-subscription for Subscription Receipts as at April 11, 2019, subscriptions will be adjusted pro rata (in proportion to the aggregate amount of cleared funds received) to reduce the Existing Shareholder Offering to a maximum of $450,000 for Subscription Receipts. Although the Existing Shareholder Offering is not being offered pro rata, all shareholders of Rockcliff effective as of the Record Date will be treated equally. However, Rockcliff reserves the right not to accept subscription amounts of less than $1,800 (12,000 Subscription Receipts) in respect of Subscription Receipts to avoid disproportionate administrative costs. Rockcliff is using other available exemptions to place the Additional Financing.

The Existing Shareholder Offering is being made under Ontario Securities Commission Rule 45-501 - Ontario Prospectus and Registration Exemptions relating to distributions to existing security holders and under Multilateral CSA Notice 45-313 - Prospectus Exemption for Distributions to Existing Security Holders and the legislation adopted pursuant thereto in other jurisdictions in Canada, as well as under other applicable exemptions without issuing a prospectus. The existing shareholder exemption limits a shareholder to a maximum investment of $15,000 in a 12-month period for all investments made under this exemption unless the shareholder has obtained advice regarding the suitability of the investment from a person registered as an investment dealer, in which case the investment can exceed $15,000.
