In connection with completion of the Transaction and the conversion of the Receipts, the Company will issue 100,530 common shares to Winchester Advisory Ltd., and 100,530 to Fiore Management and Advisory Corp., an arms’-length third parties, for administrative services rendered in connection with the Financing.

The company will also pay an aggregate finders’ fee of $175,000 cash and issue an aggregate of 350,000 common share purchase warrants (the "Broker Warrants") (collectively, the “Finders’ Fee”) to certain arms’-length third parties who assisted in introducing the parties to the Financing (the “Finders”). Each Broker Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share at a price of $1.25 until March 7, 2026.

Completion of the Transaction remains subject to several conditions, including the completion of satisfactory due diligence, the negotiation and finalization of definitive documentation, receipt of any required regulatory and third-party consents, approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange, and the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions. Trading in the Company’s common shares is currently halted, and it is anticipated that trading will remain halted until completion of the Transaction.
