There may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, a reallocation of funds may be deemed prudent or necessary in the Company’s sole discretion.
The Common Shares are subject to a hold period of four months plus one day from the closing of the Private Placement. The Common Shares described herein have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold within the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of such Act.
