Upon receipt of such notice, the holders of the Warrants will have 30 days to exercise their Warrants. Any Warrants which remain unexercised at the end of the Accelerated Exercise Period will automatically expire at that time. The Company may also exercise an overallotment option of up to 15% of the Units sold under the offering (being up to an additional 1.5 million units for additional proceeds of up to $225,000) to address any oversubscription of the offering, at any time prior to the closing of the offering. The units will be subject to a four-month-and-one-day hold period, from the closing date, in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.
The Company also issued 268,333 Compensation Option Units (the "Finders Option") and paid an aggregate of $39,250 to qualified finders. Each Unit consists of one common share and one-half share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Finder's Warrant") exercisable to acquire one Unit at a purchase price of $0.15 per Unit for a five year period. Each Finder's Warrant will be exercisable to acquire an additional common share at $0.25 per share for a two year period from the date of exercise of the Finders Option.
