Following completion of the Initial Public Offering, the Corporation has 16,250,000 Common Shares issued and outstanding, of which 10,000,000 are subject to escrow in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) and 2,250,000 are subject to voluntary pooling restrictions. The Corporation has an aggregate of 1,625,000 stock options outstanding, all of which have been granted to directors of the Corporation, with each such option exercisable to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.10 until August 16, 2031.
In connection with the Initial Public Offering, the Agent received a cash commission of $32,000 equal to 8% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering. The Corporation also granted warrants to the Agent and its selling agents entitling the holders to purchase up to an aggregate of 320,000 Common Shares at a price of $0.10 per Common Share until August 16, 2023, being 24 months from the listing of the Common Shares on the Exchange, subject to acceleration at the option of the Corporation in the event that the 10day volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares as traded on the Exchange exceeds $0.50 for a period of 10 consecutive days. In addition, the Agent was paid a corporate finance fee of $15,000 plus applicable taxes and disbursements in connection with the Initial Public Offering.
The board of directors of the Corporation consists of Chase Taylor-Robins, James Paterson, Jay Sujir and John Robins. Mr. Taylor-Robins also acts as CEO of the Corporation and Mr. Paterson acts as CFO and Corporate Secretary of the Corporation.

The net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, together with the proceeds from prior sales of Common Shares, will be used by the Corporation to identify and evaluate assets or businesses for acquisition with a view to completing a "Qualifying Transaction" under the capital pool company program pursuant to Policy 2.4 of the Exchange, pursuant to which the Corporation has 24 months to identify and close a Qualifying Transaction. Investors are cautioned that trading in the securities of a capital pool company should be considered highly speculative.
