Proposed Consolidation
In addition the Company announces that it has mailed meeting materials in connection with a special meeting of shareholders of the Company to be held on January 10, 2022 (the “Meeting”) to consider a resolution approving a consolidation (the “Consolidation Proposal“) of the Company’s outstanding common shares (the “Common Shares“) on the basis of up to one (1) post consolidation Common Share for every ten (10) pre-consolidation Common Shares.
In the opinion of management, the current share structure of the Company may make it more difficult for the Company to attract business opportunities or the additional equity financing required to maintain the Company or to allow for the funding of its ongoing operations and business. Management is of the opinion that a consolidation of the Common Shares may increase its flexibility and present additional opportunities with respect to potential business transactions, including equity financings, if determined by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board“) to be necessary.
Approval of the Consolidation Proposal will provide the Board with discretion to determine the actual consolidation ratio within the above stated range and whether to proceed with any consolidation at all. The approval of the Consolidation Proposal does not mean that a consolidation will occur, as the Board will have the discretion not to proceed with a consolidation if it is deemed to be in the best interests of the Company not to do so.
The Company currently has 215,446,649 Common Shares issued and outstanding. Following the completion of a consolidation, the number of Common Shares of the Company issued and outstanding will depend on the consolidation ratio selected by the Board. The following table sets out the approximate number of Common Shares that would be outstanding after the completion of a consolidation at the ratios suggested below, and if such consolidation were to be effected as at the date hereof:
| SelectedProposed Consolidation Ratios(1) | ApproximateNumber of Outstanding CommonShares (Post Consolidation)(2)(3) |
| 1 for 2 | 107,723,325 |
| 1 for 3 | 71,815,550 |
| 1 for 5 | 43,089,330 |
| 1 for 7 | 30,778,093 |
| 1 for 10 | 21,544,665 |
Notes:
- The ratios above are forillustrative purposes only and are not indicative of the actual ratio that may be adopted by the Board.
- The exact numberof Common Shares outstanding after the Consolidation will vary based on the elimination of fractional shares, and certain otherfactors.
- Based on the number of outstanding Common Shares as at the date hereof, being 215,446,649 which is subject to change prior to the date any consolidation is effected.
The Board is recommending that shareholders approve the Consolidation Proposal at the Meeting. The Company is not expected to change its name or trading symbol in conjunction with any consolidation; however, it may be required to apply for a new ISIN and CUSIP number for any post consolidated Common Shares. The exercise price and number of Common Shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of any outstanding convertible securities, including stock options and warrants, will also be adjusted in accordance with the Board’s chosen consolidation ratio if a consolidation is effected pursuant to the Consolidation Proposal, if approved.
Any consolidation that the Board decides to effect is subject to the approval of the Consolidation Proposal at the Meeting and any required regulatory approvals including the approval of the TSXV.
