(ii) 50,000 Shares on or before the earlier of:
A. 18 months from the Listing Date, or

Disclaimer for Forward-Looking Information
Certain statements in this release are forward-looking statements, which reflect the expectations of management regarding the Company’s proposed qualifying transaction. Forward-looking statements consist of statements that are not purely historical, including any statements regarding beliefs, plans, expectations or intentions regarding the future. Such information can generally be identified by the use of forwarding-looking wording such as “may”, “expect”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “believe” and “continue” or the negative thereof or similar variations and includes statements that the Company will complete its qualifying transaction, acquire the Sedex Property free and clear of all encumbrances, satisfy its payment obligations with respect to the Sedex Property, use its working capital to make cash payments to Megastar, pay finder’s fees in connection with the Transaction, appoint the new directors and officers, and that the insiders of the Company following completion of the Transaction will be as set forth in this news release and that there will be no additional insiders, other than the new directors and officers. Since forward-looking statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature, they involve inherent risks and uncertainties such as the risk that the closing of the Transaction may not occur for any reason. Actual results in each case could differ materially from those currently anticipated in such statements due to factors such as: (i) the refusal of the Exchange to accept the proposed Transaction for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the inability of the parties to obtain approval of any third parties or shareholders, as required; (iii) the inability of the Sedex Property to satisfy Exchange Initial Listing Requirements; and (iv) the inability to complete the Offering in whole or in part for any reason whatsoever. Except as required by law, the Company does not intend to update any changes to such statements.
