such insiders in the IPO constitutes a “ related party transaction ” as defined under Multilateral
Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”)
and is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-

by the insiders exceeded 25% of the Company’s market capitalization. The Company did not file a
material change report less than 21 days before the expected closing date of the IPO as the insider
participation was not settled until shortly prior to closing and the Company wished to close on an
expedited basis for sound business reasons.
