The Amendment Agreement states that the purchase price payable to Rome shareholders shall now be £11,757,897 or C$20,223,583 using a 1.72 GBP-CAD foreign exchange rate. Pathfinder will now settle the Purchase Price through the issuance of 2,351,579,421 Consideration Shares, which will still constitute in aggregate 68.98% of the enlarged share capital of Pathfinder. Pursuant to the Amendment Agreement, for every Rome share held Rome shareholders will receive 19.54 Consideration Shares.
