The Convertible Notes shall be convertible in tranches as follows:
- 33.3% – commencing on the 12 month anniversary of the Offering Date;
- a further 33.3% – commencing on the 18 month anniversary of the Offering Date; and

Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a “Warrant Share”) for an exercise price of $8.00 per Warrant Share for a period of five years following the Offering Date. If exercised during the first 12 months after the Offering Date, the underlying shares shall be subject to a 365-day contractual hold from the Offering Date, subject to adjustment in certain events.
The Convertible Notes will be unsecured obligations of the Company and shall rank pari passu in right of payment of principal and interest with all other Convertible Notes issued in the Offering and all other unsecured indebtedness of the Company.
The Company has granted the Agents an option to purchase up to an additional 3,000 Convertible Note Units (representing 15% of the gross proceeds of the Offering) exercisable by the Agents at any time up to 48 hours prior to the Offering Date.
Closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about February 19, 2019.
