The
Real Brokerage Inc.
US$100,000,000
Common Shares Offered by the Company
and
45,000,000
Common Shares Offered by the Selling Shareholders
The
Real Brokerage Inc. (the “Company” or the “Registrant”) may use this prospectus, from time to time,
to offer and sell up to an aggregate amount of US$100,000,000 of the Company’s common shares, no par value
(“Common Shares”), and the selling shareholders named in this prospectus (the “Selling Shareholders”) may
use this prospectus, from time to time, to offer and sell up to 45,000,000 Common Shares as described in this prospectus.
The Common Shares will be offered in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined at the time of their offering, which may be
described in a supplement to this prospectus. We will not receive any proceeds from sales of our Common Shares by the Selling
Shareholders.
This
prospectus provides you with a general description of the Common Shares and the manner in which they may be sold. If necessary, the specific
manner in which these securities may be offered and sold will be described in one or more supplements to this prospectus. Any prospectus
supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. You should carefully read this prospectus, and any
applicable prospectus supplement, before you invest in the securities registered hereunder.
We
may offer and sell the Common Shares on a delayed or continuous basis through agents, underwriters, or dealers as designated from time
to time, directly to purchasers, or through a combination of these methods. In addition, the Selling Shareholders may offer and sell
our Common Shares from time to time. If any underwriters, dealers or agents are involved in the sale of any Common Shares, then,
to the extent required, their names, and any applicable purchase price, fee, commission or discount arrangement between or among them
will be set forth, or will be calculable from the information set forth, in the applicable prospectus supplement. See “Plan of
Distribution.”
Our
Common Shares are traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “REAX.” On October 15,
2024 the last reported sales price of the Common Shares was U.S.$5.40 per Common Share.
See
“Risk Factors” on page 6 to read about factors you should consider before investing in our Common Shares.
Neither
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state, provincial or territorial securities commission nor any other regulatory
body has approved or disapproved of these Common Shares or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation
to the contrary is a criminal offense.
There
can be no assurance that United States investors will be able to enforce against the Company, its board of directors, officers or certain
experts named herein who are residents of Canada or other countries outside the United States, any judgments in civil and commercial
matters, including judgments under the federal securities laws. There is uncertainty with respect to whether a Canadian court would take
jurisdiction on a matter of liability predicated solely upon United States federal securities laws, and uncertainty with respect to whether
a Canadian court would enforce a foreign judgment on liabilities predicated upon the securities laws of the United States. See “Limitations
on Enforcement of U.S. Laws Against the Company, Its Management and Others.”

TABLE

ABOUT
THIS PROSPECTUS
This
prospectus is part of a registration statement on Form F-3 that we filed with the SEC using a “shelf” registration process.
Under this shelf registration process, we may use this prospectus, from time to time, to offer and sell up to an aggregate amount of
US$100,000,000 of Common Shares, and the Selling Shareholders may use this prospectus, from time to time, to offer and sell up
to 45,000,000 Common Shares as described in this prospectus.
We
will receive proceeds from the sale by us of any Common Shares offered by us but will not receive any proceeds from the sale by
the Selling Shareholders of any Common Shares offered by them, as described in this prospectus. Neither we nor the Selling
Shareholders have authorized anyone to provide you with any information or to make any representations other than those contained in
this prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement, or any applicable free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of us or to
which we have referred you. Neither we nor the Selling Shareholders take responsibility for, and can provide no assurance as to the reliability
of, any other information that others may give you. Neither we nor the Selling Shareholders will make an offer to sell these Common Shares
in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted.
We
may also provide a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the registration statement to add information to, or update or
change information contained in, this prospectus. You should read both this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment to the registration statement together with the additional information incorporated herein by reference or to which we refer
you in the section of this prospectus entitled “Where You Can Find More Information.” You should assume that the information
contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus or any prospectus supplement is accurate only as of the date on the front of
those documents, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus or any applicable prospectus supplement, or any sale of a security.
Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates.
This
prospectus and the information incorporated herein by reference contains summaries of certain provisions contained in some of the documents
described herein, but reference is made to the actual documents for complete information. All of the summaries are qualified in their
entirety by the actual documents. Copies of some of the documents referred to herein have been filed, will be filed or will be incorporated
by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and you may obtain copies of those documents
as described below under “Where You Can Find More Information.”
Unless
the context indicates otherwise, the terms “Company,” “Registrant,” “we,” “us”
and “our” refer to The Real Brokerage Inc.
WHERE
YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION
In
addition to the continuous disclosure obligations under the securities laws of the provinces and territories of Canada, we are subject
to the informational reporting requirements of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”),
and in accordance therewith file reports and other information with the SEC. Under a multi-jurisdictional disclosure system adopted by
the United States and Canada, such reports and other information may be prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of the
provincial and territorial securities regulatory authorities of Canada, which requirements are different from those of the United States.
As a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from the rules under the Exchange Act prescribing the furnishing and content of proxy statements,
and our officers and directors are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16
of the Exchange Act. Our reports and other information filed with or furnished to the SEC are available, and reports and other information
filed or furnished in the future with or to the SEC will be available, to the public over the Internet free of charge from the SEC’s
EDGAR System (http://www.sec.gov). Information about us is also available on our website at www.onereal.com. All Internet references
in this prospectus are inactive textual references and we do not incorporate website contents into this prospectus. Our reports and
other information filed with or furnished to the Canadian provincial and territorial securities regulators are available on SEDAR+ at
www.sedarplus.ca.
We
have filed with the SEC, under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), a registration statement
on Form F-3 with respect to the securities offered by this prospectus. This prospectus forms a part of that registration statement.
DOCUMENTS
INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE
The
SEC allows us to “incorporate by reference” the information we file with it, which means we can disclose important information
to you by referring you to those documents. The information incorporated by reference is considered to be a part of this prospectus and
should be read with the same care. When we update the information contained in documents that have been incorporated by reference by
making future filings with the SEC, the information incorporated by reference in this prospectus is considered to be automatically updated
and superseded. The modifying or superseding statement need not state that it has modified or superseded a prior statement or include
any other information set forth in the document that it modifies or supersedes. In other words, in the case of a conflict or inconsistency
between information contained in this prospectus and information incorporated by reference into this prospectus, you should rely on the
information contained in the document that was filed later. The making of a modifying or superseding statement shall not be deemed an
admission for any purposes that the modified or superseded statement, when made, constituted a misrepresentation, an untrue statement
of a material fact or an omission to state a material fact that is required to be stated or that is necessary to make a statement not
misleading in light of the circumstances in which it was made. Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as
so modified or superseded to constitute a part of this prospectus.

we will incur nonrecurring costs that affect earnings in one or more reporting periods; the impact of the industry antitrust litigation
on the industry generally and specifically to us with respect to the lawsuit in which we were named, as well as potential future lawsuits
in which we are named; increased legal and financial compliance requirements and costs in connection with being a public company and
expected loss of “emerging growth company” status; a reduction in customary commission rates and reduction in the Company’s

or pandemic that could have a negative impact on the economy and on our businesses; the effects of negative publicity; our ability to
successfully estimate the impact of certain accounting and tax matters, including related to transfer pricing; changes in law that have
a negative impact on our business; and our ability to successfully estimate the impact of regulatory and litigation matters.
The
foregoing list of assumptions is not exhaustive. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements
as a result of various events and circumstances, including, among other things, the risk factors identified under the heading “Risks
Factors.”
Should
one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should assumptions underlying the forward-looking information prove incorrect,
actual results, performance or achievement may vary materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking information contained

SUMMARY
This
summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus and should be read together with the information contained in other
parts of this prospectus, any prospectus supplement and the documents we incorporate by reference. It may not contain all the information
that may be important to you. You should carefully read this prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement and the documents referred
to in “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Documents Incorporated by Reference” for more information
about us, including our financial statements.
Our
Company
We
are a growing real estate technology company located in the United States and Canada. As a licensed real estate brokerage, our revenue
is generated primarily by processing real estate transactions which entitle us to commissions. We pay a portion of our commission revenue
to real estate agents that are affiliated with us. We are taking a first principles approach to redefining the role of a real estate
brokerage in the lives of agents and within the broader housing ecosystem. We focus on developing technology to enhance real estate agent
performance while building a scalable, efficient brokerage operation that allows for technologically supported brokerage oversight that
is not dependent on a cost-heavy brick and mortar presence in the markets in which we operate. Our goal is to establish ourselves as
the destination brokerage for agents, by offering an unmatched combination of technology, support, and financial incentives. Our vision
is to transform home buying under the guidance of an agent through an integrated consumer application, while growing our ancillary services,
including mortgage broker and title insurance services. In addition, we plan to expand our suite of tools and products tailored for
agents, including Real branded financial products.
We
have grown our presence to all 50 states and the District of Columbia. In 2021, we launched operations in Alberta, Canada, and currently
have operations in four Canadian provinces. As of October 4, 2024, over 21,967 real estate agents were affiliated with the Company or
its subsidiaries, an increase of more than 8,000 agents since the end of 2023.
Corporate
Information
The
Real Brokerage Inc. (formerly ADL Ventures Inc.) was incorporated under the laws of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia)
(“BCBCA”) on February 27, 2018, and was a capital pool company. On June 5, 2020, ADL Ventures Inc. acquired all of
the issued and outstanding common shares of Real Technology Broker Ltd., a private corporation incorporated under the laws of Israel,
and changed its name to The Real Brokerage Inc. On June 15, 2021, the Common Shares commenced trading on the Nasdaq under the trading
symbol “REAX.” The Company’s principal executive office is located at 701 Brickell Avenue, 17th Floor,
Miami, Florida, 33131 and our registered office is located at 550 Burrard Street, Suite 2300, Bentall 5, Vancouver, British Columbia,
V6C 2B5, Canada. The Company is a “reporting issuer” in all the provinces and territories of Canada (the “Reporting Jurisdictions”).
Implications
of Being an Emerging Growth Company
We
qualify as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. As
an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other burdens that are otherwise applicable generally
to public companies. These provisions include:
| ● | an
exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control
over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”); and |
| | |
| ● | reduced
disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and other
filings and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive
compensation, including golden parachute compensation. |
We
may take advantage of these provisions for up to five years or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We
will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross
revenues of $1.235 billion or more; (ii) December 31, 2026; (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible
debt during the previous three years; and (iv) the date on which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the
SEC, which means the market value of our Common Shares that are held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $700,000,000 as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter.
Implications
of Being a Foreign Private Issuer
We
are also considered a “foreign private issuer.” Accordingly, we report under the Exchange Act, as a non-U.S. company with
foreign private issuer status. This means that, even after we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, as long as we qualify
as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we will be exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act that are applicable
to U.S. domestic public companies, including:
| ● | the
sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations
in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act; |
| | |
| ● | the
sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their stock ownership
and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short
period of time; and |
| | |
| ● | the
rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form
10-Q containing unaudited financial and other specified information, or current reports on
Form 8-K, upon the occurrence of specified significant events. |
We
may take advantage of these exemptions until such time as we are no longer a foreign private issuer. We would cease to be a foreign
private issuer if, as of the last business day of our then most recently completed second fiscal quarter, (i) more than 50% of our
outstanding voting securities are owned by U.S. residents and (ii) a majority of our directors or executive officers are U.S.
citizens or residents, or we fail to meet additional requirements necessary to avoid the loss of foreign private issuer
status.
In
this prospectus and in the documents and information incorporated by reference in this prospectus, we have taken advantage of certain
of the reduced reporting requirements as a result of being an emerging growth company and a foreign private issuer. Accordingly, the
information contained in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus may be different than the
information you receive from other public companies in which you hold equity securities.
Additional
information with respect to our businesses is included in the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus. See “Documents
Incorporated by Reference.”
RISK
FACTORS
Investment
in these Common Shares is subject to various risks. Before deciding whether to invest in any Common Shares, you should consider carefully
the risks described in the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus (including subsequently filed documents incorporated
by reference) and, if applicable, those described in a prospectus supplement relating to a specific offering of Common Shares. You should
consider the categories of risks identified and discussed in the management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and
results of operations included in our Annual Report, our 2024 First Quarter Report and our 2024 Second Quarter Report, including those
summarized under “Cautionary Statement with respect to Forward-Looking Statements.” The following risk factors are
additional to the risk factors referenced in the prior sentence.
If
we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, our ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements or comply
with applicable regulations could be impaired.
As
a public company and foreign private issuer, we are subject to many of the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, SOX, the securities laws of the Reporting Jurisdictions
and the rules and regulations of the listing standards of Nasdaq. We expect that the requirements of these rules and regulations
will continue to increase our legal, accounting, and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult,
time-consuming, and costly, and place significant strain on our personnel, systems, and resources. In particular, in connection with
the Company’s loss of “emerging growth company” status, which is expected to occur by the end of 2024, we have
incurred, and expect to continue, to incur significant expenses and devote substantial management effort toward ensuring compliance
with the requirements of Section 404 of SOX, which involve annual assessments of a company’s internal controls over financial
reporting as well as annual independent registered public accounting firm attestation report on our internal controls over
financial reporting. SOX requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and
internal controls over financial reporting. We are continuing to develop and refine our disclosure controls and other procedures
that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we will file with the SEC is
recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that information
required to be disclosed in reports under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive and financial
officers. Our current controls and any new controls that we develop may become inadequate because of changes in conditions and
rapid growth of our business.
Any
failure to develop or maintain effective controls or any difficulties encountered in their implementation or improvement could harm our
results of operations or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations and may result in a restatement of our financial statements
for prior periods. Any failure to implement and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting also could adversely affect
the results of periodic management evaluations and annual independent registered public accounting firm attestation reports. Ineffective
disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting could also cause investors to lose confidence in our
reported financial and other information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our Common Shares. In addition,
if we are unable to continue to meet these requirements, we may not be able to remain listed on Nasdaq.
We
may lose our foreign private issuer status in the future, which could result in significant additional costs and expenses to us.
We
are a foreign private issuer, and therefore, we are not required to comply with all of the periodic disclosure and current reporting
requirements of the Exchange Act. In the future, we would lose our foreign private issuer status if, as of the last business day
of our then most recently completed second fiscal quarter, (i) more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities are owned by
U.S. residents and (ii) a majority of our directors or executive officers are U.S. citizens or residents, or we fail to meet
additional requirements necessary to avoid the loss of foreign private issuer status. If we lose our foreign private issuer status,
we will be required to file with the SEC periodic reports and registration statements on U.S. domestic issuer forms, which are more
detailed and extensive than the forms available to a foreign private issuer. We will also have to comply with U.S. federal proxy
requirements, and our executive officers, directors and 10% shareholders will become subject to the short-swing profit disclosure
and recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. As a U.S. listed public company that is not a foreign private issuer, we
will incur significant additional legal, accounting and other expenses that we do not incur as a foreign private
issuer.

MATERIAL
INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
Canadian
Taxation
The following is a summary of the material Canadian
federal income tax consequences under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the regulations thereto (collectively, the “Canadian Tax
Act”) generally applicable as of the date hereof to the acquisition, holding and disposition of Common Shares by a purchaser who
acquires the Common Shares as beneficial owner at the time of their issuance pursuant to this prospectus and who for the purposes of
the Canadian Tax Act and any applicable income tax treaty and at all relevant times: (a) is neither resident nor deemed to be resident
in Canada; (b) deals at arm’s length and is not affiliated with the Company; (c) acquires and holds the Common Share
as capital property; and (d) does not use or hold and is not deemed to use or hold the Common Share in, or in the course of, carrying
on a business in Canada (a “Non-Resident Holder”). This summary does not apply to a Non-Resident Holder that carries on an
insurance business in Canada and elsewhere or that is an authorized foreign bank (as defined in the Canadian Tax Act) and such holders
should consult their own tax advisors.
This
summary is based upon the current provisions of the Canadian Tax Act and an understanding of the current administrative policies and
assessing practices published in writing by the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) prior to the date hereof. This summary takes
into account all specific proposals to amend the Canadian Tax Act publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada)
prior to the date hereof (the “Proposals”) and assumes that all Proposals will be enacted in the form currently proposed.
However, no assurance can be given that the Proposals will be enacted as proposed or at all. This summary does not otherwise take into
account any changes in law or in administrative policies or assessing practices of the CRA, whether by legislative, administrative or
judicial action, nor does it take into account any provincial, territorial or foreign income tax legislation or considerations, which
may differ from those discussed herein.
For
the purposes of the Canadian Tax Act, all amounts not otherwise expressed in Canadian dollars must generally be converted into Canadian
dollars based on the exchange rate as quoted by the Bank of Canada for the applicable day or such other rate of exchange acceptable to
the Minister of National Revenue (Canada).
This
summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be legal or tax advice to any particular Non-Resident Holder. This summary
is not exhaustive of all Canadian federal income tax considerations. Accordingly, Non-Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors
with respect to their particular circumstances.
Canadian
federal income tax consequences applicable to Common Shares may be described particularly when such Common Shares are offered in the
applicable prospectus supplement or pricing supplement related thereto and, in that event, the comments following will be superseded
in such prospectus supplement or pricing supplement to the extent indicated therein.
Common
Shares
Dividends.
Dividends paid or credited or deemed to be paid or credited to a Non-Resident Holder on Common Shares, will be subject to Canadian non-resident
withholding tax of 25% but such rate may be reduced under the terms of an applicable income tax treaty.
Dispositions.
A Non-Resident Holder will not be subject to tax under the Canadian Tax Act on any capital gain realized on a disposition or deemed disposition
of any Common Shares unless such shares constitute “taxable Canadian property” to the Non-Resident Holder for purposes of
the Canadian Tax Act at the time of their disposition, and such Non-Resident Holder is not entitled to relief pursuant to the provisions
of an applicable income tax treaty. Generally, the Common Shares will not constitute taxable Canadian property to a Non-Resident Holder
provided that they are listed on a designated stock exchange (which currently includes Nasdaq, the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New
York Stock Exchange) at the time of the disposition, unless, at any particular time during the 60 month period that ends at that time,
the following conditions are met concurrently: (i) one or any combination of (a) the Non-Resident Holder, (b) persons with whom the Non-Resident Holder did not deal at arm’s length, or (c) partnerships in which the Non-Resident Holder or a person described in (b)
holds a membership interest directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships, owned 25% or more of the issued shares of any class
or series of the Company’s share capital and (ii) more than 50% of the fair market value of the Common Shares was derived directly
or indirectly from one or any combination of (a) real or immovable property situated in Canada, (b) Canadian resource properties (as
defined in the Canadian Tax Act), (c) timber resource properties (as defined in the Canadian Tax Act), and (d) an option in respect of,
or an interest in, or for civil law rights in, any of the foregoing property, whether or not the property exists. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, a Common Share may be deemed to be “taxable Canadian property” in certain other circumstances. Non-Resident Holders
whose Common Shares may constitute taxable Canadian property should consult their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances.
United
States Taxation
The
following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences that could be applicable to the acquisition, ownership and
disposition of the Common Shares being offered by a U.S. Holder (as defined below). This description only applies to Common Shares held as capital assets within the
meaning of Section 1221 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
This
summary does not address, except as set forth below, aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be applicable to U.S. Holders that
are subject to special tax rules, such as:
| ● | financial
institutions; |
| | |
| ● | insurance
companies; |
| | |
| ● | real
estate investment trusts; |
| | |
| ● | regulated
investment companies; |
| | |
| ● | grantor
trusts; |
| | |
| ● | tax-exempt
organizations; |
| | |
| ● | persons
that will own Common Shares through partnerships or other pass-through entities; |
| | |
| ● | dealers
or traders in Common Shares or currencies; |
| | |
| ● | certain
former citizens or long-term residents of the United States; |
| | |
| ● | holders
subject to special tax accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the Code; |
| | |
| ● | holders
that will hold a Common Share as part of a position in a straddle or as part of a hedging,
conversion or integrated transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes; |
| | |
| ● | holders
that will hold or sell Common Shares as part of a wash sale for U.S. federal income tax purposes; |
| | |
| ● | holders
that actually or constructively own 10% or more of the combined voting power of our voting
stock or of the total value of our stock; or |
| | |
| ● | holders
that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar. |
This
summary does not address the U.S. federal estate and gift tax, alternative minimum tax, or Medicare tax consequences of the acquisition,
ownership or disposition of the Common Shares. This summary only addresses the U.S. federal income tax treatment of holders that acquire
Common Shares as part of the initial distribution at their issue price.
Each
prospective purchaser should consult its tax advisor with respect to the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences of
acquiring, owning and disposing of the Common Shares and any consequences arising on account of the purchaser’s particular circumstances.
This
summary is based on the Code, existing and proposed U.S. Treasury Regulations, administrative pronouncements and judicial decisions,
as well as on the income tax treaty between the United States of America and Canada (the “Treaty”), each as available and
as of the date hereof. All of the foregoing are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, or differing interpretations which
could affect the tax consequences described herein.
For
purposes of this summary, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of Common Shares who for U.S. federal income tax purposes
is any of the following:
| ● | an
individual citizen or resident of the United States; |
| | |
| ● | a
corporation (or any other entity that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income
tax purposes) organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, including
the District of Columbia; |
| | |
| ● | an
estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source;
or |
| | |
| ● | a
trust (1) that validly elects to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax
purposes or (2) (a) the administration over which a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision
and (b) all of the substantial decisions of which one or more U.S. persons have the authority
to control. |
If
a partnership (or any other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds the Common Shares,
the tax treatment of the partnership and a partner in such partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities
of the partnership. Such partner or partnership should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences
of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Common Shares.
Tax
Consequences to U.S. Holders of Common Shares
This
subsection discusses tax consequences relevant to the purchase, ownership and disposition of our Common Shares.
The
tax treatment of your Common Shares will depend in part on whether or not we are classified as a passive foreign investment company
(“PFIC”) for United States federal income tax purposes. Except as discussed below under “—PFIC
Rules,” this discussion assumes that we are not classified as a PFIC for United States federal income tax purposes.
Taxation
of Distributions
Under
the United States federal income tax laws, the gross amount of any distribution we pay out of our current or accumulated earnings
and profits (as determined for United States federal income tax purposes), other than certain pro rata distributions of our Common
Shares, will be treated as a dividend that is subject to United States federal income taxation. If you are a noncorporate U.S.
Holder, dividends that constitute qualified dividend income will be taxable to you at the preferential rates applicable to long-term
capital gains provided that you hold the Common Shares for more than 60 days during the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the
ex-dividend date and meet other holding period requirements. Dividends we pay with respect to the Common Shares generally will be
qualified dividend income if, in the year that you receive the dividend, either the Common Shares are readily tradable on an
established securities market in the United States or we are eligible for the benefits of the Treaty. Our Common Shares are listed
on Nasdaq and we believe that we are currently eligible for the benefits of the Treaty. We therefore expect that dividends on the
Common Shares will be qualified dividend income.
You
must include any Canadian tax withheld from the dividend payment in this gross amount even though you do not in fact receive it. The
dividend is taxable to you when you receive the dividend, actually or constructively. The dividend will not be eligible for the dividends-received
deduction generally allowed to United States corporations in respect of dividends received from other United States corporations. Distributions
in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for United States federal income tax purposes, will be treated
as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of your basis in the Common Shares and thereafter as capital gain.
Subject
to certain limitations, the Canadian tax withheld in accordance with the Treaty and paid over to Canada will be creditable or deductible
against your United States federal income tax liability. Special rules apply in determining the foreign tax credit limitation with respect
to dividends that are subject to the preferential tax rates. To the extent a refund of the tax withheld or a reduction of the applicable
withholding rate is available to you under Canadian law or under the Treaty, the amount of tax withheld that is refundable or that could
have been reduced will not be eligible for credit against your United States federal income tax liability.
Dividends
will generally be income from sources outside the United States and will generally be “passive” income for purposes of computing
the foreign tax credit allowable to you.
Sale
or Exchange of Common Shares
Subject
to the PFIC rules described below, if you are a U.S. Holder and you sell or otherwise dispose of your Common Shares, you will recognize
capital gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes equal to the difference between the U.S. dollar value of the amount
that you realize and your tax basis, determined in U.S. dollars, in your Common Shares. Capital gain of a noncorporate U.S. Holder is
generally taxed at preferential rates where the property is held for more than one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject
to limitations. The gain or loss will generally be income or loss from sources within the United States for foreign tax credit limitation
purposes.
PFIC
Rules
We
believe that our Common Shares should not currently be treated as stock of a PFIC for United States federal income tax purposes, and
we do not expect to become a PFIC in the foreseeable future. However, this conclusion is a factual determination that is made annually
and thus may be subject to change. It is therefore possible that we could become a PFIC in a future taxable year. Any subsequent determinations
that we make with respect to our PFIC status will be discussed in an applicable supplement.
In
general, if you are a U.S. Holder, we will be a PFIC with respect to you if for any taxable year in which you held our Common Shares:
| ● | at
least 75% of our gross income for the taxable year is passive income; or |
| | |
| ● | at
least 50% of the value, determined on the basis of a quarterly average, of our assets is
attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. |
Passive
income generally includes dividends, interest, royalties, rents (other than certain rents and royalties derived in the active conduct
of a trade or business), annuities and gains from assets that produce passive income. If a foreign corporation owns at least 25% by value
of the stock of another corporation, the foreign corporation is treated for purposes of the PFIC tests as owning its proportionate share
of the assets of the other corporation, and as receiving directly its proportionate share of the other corporation’s income.
If
we are treated as a PFIC, and you are a U.S. Holder that did not make a mark-to-market election, as described below, you will generally
be subject to special rules with respect to:
| ● | any
gain you realize on the sale or other disposition of your Common Shares; and |
| | |
| ● | any
excess distribution that we make to you (generally, any distributions to you during a single
taxable year, other than the taxable year in which your holding period in the Common Shares
begins, that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by you in
respect of the Common Shares during the three preceding taxable years or, if shorter, your
holding period for the Common Shares that preceded the taxable year in which you receive
the distribution). |
Under
these rules:
| ● | the
gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over your holding period for the Common
Shares; |
| | |
| ● | the
amount allocated to the taxable year in which you realized the gain or excess distribution
or to prior years before the first year in which we were a PFIC with respect to you will
be taxed as ordinary income; |
| | |
| ● | the
amount allocated to each other prior year will be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect
for that year; and |
| | |
| ● | the
interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of
the tax attributable to each such year. |
Special
rules apply for calculating the amount of the foreign tax credit with respect to excess distributions by a PFIC.
If
we are a PFIC in a taxable year and our Common Shares are treated as “marketable stock” in such year, you may make a mark-to-market
election with respect to your Common Shares. If you make this election, you will not be subject to the PFIC rules described above. Instead,
in general, you will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of your Common Shares at the end
of the taxable year over your adjusted basis in your Common Shares. You will also be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect of the
excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of your Common Shares over their fair market value at the end of the taxable year (but only to
the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the mark-to-market election). Your basis in the Common Shares
will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts. Any gain that you recognize on the sale or other disposition of your Common
Shares would be ordinary income and any loss would be an ordinary loss to the extent of the net amount of previously included income
as a result of the mark-to-market election and, thereafter, a capital loss.
Your
Common Shares will generally be treated as stock in a PFIC if we were a PFIC at any time during your holding period in your Common Shares,
even if we are not currently a PFIC.
In
addition, notwithstanding any election you make with regard to the Common Shares, dividends that you receive from us will not constitute
qualified dividend income to you if we are a PFIC (or are treated as a PFIC with respect to you) either in the taxable year of the distribution
or the preceding taxable year. Dividends that you receive that do not constitute qualified dividend income are not eligible for taxation
at the preferential rates applicable to qualified dividend income. Instead, you must include the gross amount of any such dividend paid
by us out of our accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for United States federal income tax purposes) in your gross income,
and it will be subject to tax at rates applicable to ordinary income.
If
you own shares during any year that we are a PFIC with respect to you, you may be required to file Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”)
Form 8621.
U.S.
Backup Withholding and Information Reporting
Backup
withholding and information reporting requirements apply to certain payments of dividends on Common Shares to proceeds of the sale or
redemption of Common Shares, to certain non-corporate holders of Common Shares that are U.S. persons. Information reporting generally
will apply to payments of dividends on Common Shares and to proceeds from the sale or redemption of, Common Shares within the United
States, or by a U.S. payor or U.S. middleman, to a holder of Common Shares that is a U.S. person (other than an exempt recipient, including
a corporation, and certain other persons). The payor will be required to backup withhold on payments made within the United States, or
by a U.S. payor or U.S. middleman, on Common Shares to a holder of Common Shares that is a U.S. person, other than an exempt recipient,
such as a corporation, if the holder fails to furnish its correct taxpayer identification number or otherwise fails to comply with, or
establish an exemption from, the backup withholding requirements.
Backup
withholding is not an additional tax. You generally will be entitled to credit any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules
against your U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner.
Additionally,
U.S. Holders that are individuals (and, to the extent provided in future regulations, certain entities) may be required to disclose information
about their Common Shares on Form 8938 — Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets — if the aggregate value of their
Common Shares and their “specified financial assets” exceeds US$50,000 (or other thresholds depending on the individual’s
exact circumstances). Significant penalties can apply if a U.S. Holder fails to disclose its specified foreign financial assets. U.S.
Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the possible implications of this legislation in their particular circumstances.
Foreign
Account Tax Compliance Act
The
Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (commonly known as “FATCA”) imposes a reporting regime and a 30% withholding tax with
respect to certain payments to any non-U.S. financial institution (a “foreign financial institution,” or “FFI”
(as defined by FATCA)) that does not become a “Participating FFI” by entering into an agreement with the IRS to, among other
things, provide the IRS with certain information in respect of its account holders and investors or is not otherwise exempt from or in
deemed compliance with FATCA.
This
withholding regime will apply to “foreign passthru payments” (a term not yet defined) no earlier than the date that is two
years after the date on which final U.S. Treasury regulations defining the term foreign passthru payment are published in the Federal
Register. In the case of “foreign passthru payments,” this withholding would potentially apply to payments in respect of
our Common Shares that are not “grandfathered obligations.” A grandfathered obligation includes any obligation that is executed
on or before the date that is six months after the date on which final U.S. Treasury regulations defining the term “foreign passthru
payment” are filed with the Federal Register, and such obligation is not materially modified after such date.
If
an amount in respect of FATCA withholding were to be deducted or withheld from dividends, interest, principal or other payments made
in respect of the Common Shares, neither we nor any paying agent nor any other person would be required to pay additional amounts as
a result of the deduction or withholding. As a result, investors may receive less dividends, interest or principal than expected.
LIMITATIONS
ON ENFORCEMENT OF U.S. LAWS AGAINST THE COMPANY, ITS MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS
We
are a company incorporated under the BCBCA. Certain
of our directors and executive officers, including certain of the persons who signed the registration statement, of which
this prospectus forms a part, and some of the experts named in this document, reside outside the United States, and a portion of the
Company’s assets and all or a substantial portion of the assets of such persons are located outside the United States. As a result,
it may be difficult for United States investors to effect service of process within the United States upon such persons to enforce against
them judgments of the courts of the United States predicated upon, among other things, the civil liability provisions of the federal
securities laws of the United States. In addition, it may be difficult for United States investors to enforce, in original actions brought
in courts in jurisdictions located outside the United States, among other things, civil liabilities predicated upon such securities laws.
There
can be no assurance that United States investors will be able to enforce against the Company, its board of directors, officers or certain
experts named herein who are residents of Canada or other countries outside the United States, any judgments in civil and commercial
matters, including judgments under the federal securities laws. There is uncertainty with respect to whether a Canadian court would take
jurisdiction on a matter of liability predicated solely upon United States federal securities laws, and uncertainty with respect to whether
a Canadian court would enforce a foreign judgment on liabilities predicated upon the securities laws of the United States.
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
We,
or the Selling Shareholders, may sell the Common Shares from time to time pursuant to underwritten public offerings, negotiated transactions,
block trades or a combination of these methods or through underwriters or dealers, through agents and/or directly to one or more purchasers.
The Common Shares may be distributed from time to time in one or more transactions:
| ● | at
a fixed price or prices, which may be changed; |
| ● | at
market prices prevailing at the time of sale; |
| ● | at
prices related to such prevailing market prices; or |
Each
prospectus supplement will indicate if the Common Shares offered thereby will be listed on any securities exchange.
Offers
to purchase the Common Shares being offered by this prospectus may be solicited directly. Agents may also be designated to solicit offers
to purchase the Common Shares from time to time. Any agent involved in the offer or sale of our Common Shares will be identified in a
prospectus supplement.
If
a dealer is utilized in the sale of the Common Shares being offered by this prospectus, the Common Shares will be sold to the dealer,
as principal. The dealer may then resell the Common Shares to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time
of resale.
If
an underwriter is utilized in the sale of the Common Shares being offered by this prospectus, an underwriting agreement will be executed
with the underwriter at the time of sale and the name of any underwriter will be provided in the prospectus supplement that the underwriter
will use to make resales of the Common Shares to the public. In connection with the sale of the Common Shares, we, the Selling Shareholders
or the purchasers of Common Shares for whom the underwriter may act as agent, may compensate the underwriter in the form of underwriting
discounts or commissions. The underwriter may sell the Common Shares to or through dealers, and those dealers may receive compensation
in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for which they may
act as agent. Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, an agent will be acting on a best efforts basis and a dealer will
purchase Common Shares as a principal, and may then resell the Common Shares at varying prices to be determined by the dealer.
Any
compensation paid to underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering of the Common Shares, and any discounts, concessions
or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers will be provided in the applicable prospectus supplement. Underwriters,
dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the Common Shares may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the
Securities Act, and any discounts and commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of the Common Shares may
be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions. We, or the Selling Shareholders, may enter into agreements to indemnify underwriters,
dealers and agents against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments they may be
required to make in respect thereof and to reimburse those persons for certain expenses.
The
Common Shares may or may not be listed on a national securities exchange. To facilitate the offering of Common Shares, certain persons
participating in the offering may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the Common Shares.
This may include over-allotments or short sales of the Common Shares, which involve the sale by persons participating in the offering
of more Common Shares than were sold to them. In these circumstances, these persons would cover such over-allotments or short positions
by making purchases in the open market or by exercising their over-allotment option, if any. In addition, these persons may stabilize
or maintain the price of the Common Shares by bidding for or purchasing Common Shares in the open market or by imposing penalty bids,
whereby selling concessions allowed to dealers participating in the offering may be reclaimed if Common Shares sold by them are repurchased
in connection with stabilization transactions. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of the
Common Shares at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.
If
indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, underwriters or other persons acting as agents may be authorized to solicit offers
by institutions or other suitable purchasers to purchase the Common Shares at the public offering price set forth in the prospectus supplement,
pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on the date or dates stated in the prospectus supplement. These
purchasers may include, among others, commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment companies and educational
and charitable institutions. Delayed delivery contracts will be subject to the condition that the purchase of the Common Shares covered
by the delayed delivery contracts will not at the time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of any jurisdiction in the United States
to which the purchaser is subject. The underwriters and agents will not have any responsibility with respect to the validity or performance
of these contracts.
We,
or the Selling Shareholders, may engage in at-the-market
offerings into an existing trading market in accordance with the Securities Act. In addition, we, or the Selling Shareholders, may enter
into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated
transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement so indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell
Common Shares covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third
party may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us, the Selling Shareholders or others to settle those sales or to close out
any related open borrowings of Common Shares, and may use securities received from us or the Selling Shareholders in settlement
of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of our Common Shares. In addition, we, or the Selling Shareholders,
may loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities using this prospectus
and an applicable prospectus supplement. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to
investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.
The
underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with us, or perform services for us, in the ordinary course of business for
which they receive compensation.
We
have agreed with Insight pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement to use reasonable best efforts to keep the registration
statement of which this prospectus forms a part effective until the “registrable securities” described thereunder have ceased
to be registrable securities.
In
connection with one or more offerings of the securities registered hereunder, we and certain of our directors, officers and/or stockholders
may enter into lock-up agreements. Specific terms of the lock-up restrictions will be provided in the applicable prospectus supplements.

MATTERS
Certain
legal matters related to our Common Shares offered by this prospectus will be passed upon on our behalf by Gowling WLG (Canada) LLP,
with respect to matters of Canadian law.

PART
II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item
8. | Indemnification
of Directors and Officers |
The
Registrant is subject to the provisions of Part 5, Division 5 of the BCBCA.
Under
Section 160 of the BCBCA, a company may, subject to Section 163 of the BCBCA:
|
(a) |
indemnify an individual who: |
| (i) | is
or was a director or officer of the company; |
| (ii) | is
or was a director or officer of another corporation (A) at a time when such corporation is
or was an affiliate of the company; or (B) at the company’s request; or |
| (iii) | at
the company’s request, is or was, or holds or held a position equivalent to that of,
a director or officer of a partnership, trust, joint venture or other unincorporated entity; |
including,
subject to certain specified exceptions, the heirs and personal or other legal representatives of that individual (collectively, an “eligible
party”), against all eligible penalties, defined below, to which the eligible party is or may be liable; and
|
(b) |
after final disposition of
an eligible proceeding (defined below), pay the expenses (defined below) actually and reasonably incurred by an eligible party in respect
of that proceeding, where, under Part 5, Division 5 of the BCBCA: |
| (i) | “eligible
penalty” means a judgment, penalty or fine awarded or imposed in, or an amount paid
in settlement of, an eligible proceeding; |
| (ii) | “eligible
proceeding” means a proceeding (defined below) in which an eligible party or any of
the heirs and personal or other legal representatives of the eligible party, by reason of
the eligible party being or having been a director or officer of, or holding or having held
a position equivalent to that of a director or officer of, the company or an associated corporation
(A) is or may be joined as a party, or (B) is or may be liable for or in respect of a judgment,
penalty or fine in, or expenses related to, the proceeding; |
| (iii) | “expenses”
includes costs, charges and expenses, including legal and other fees, but does not include
judgments, penalties, fines or amounts paid in settlement of a proceeding; and |
| (iv) | “proceeding”
includes any legal proceeding or investigative action, whether current, threatened, pending
or completed. |
Under
Section 161 of the BCBCA, and subject to Section 163 of the BCBCA, a company must, after the final disposition of an eligible
proceeding, pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by an eligible party in respect of that proceeding if the eligible party:
(a) has not been reimbursed for those expenses; and (b) is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the outcome of the proceeding
or is substantially successful on the merits in the outcome of the proceeding. Under Section 162 of the BCBCA, and subject to
Section 163 of the BCBCA, a company may pay, as they are incurred in advance of the final disposition of an eligible proceeding,
the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by an eligible party in respect of the proceeding, provided that a company must not make
such payments unless the company first receives from the eligible party a written undertaking that, if it is ultimately determined that
the payment of expenses is prohibited under Section 163 of the BCBCA, the eligible party will repay the amounts advanced.
Under
Section 163 of the BCBCA, a company must not indemnify an eligible party or pay the expenses of an eligible party in respect of
the foregoing, if any of the following circumstances apply:
| (a) | if
the indemnity or payment is made under an earlier agreement to indemnify or pay expenses
and, at the time that the agreement to indemnify or pay expenses was made, the company was
prohibited from giving the indemnity or paying the expenses by its memorandum or Articles; |
| (b) | if
the indemnity or payment is made otherwise than under an earlier agreement to indemnify or
pay expenses and, at the time that the indemnity or payment is made, the company is prohibited
from giving the indemnity or paying the expenses by its memorandum or Articles; |
| (c) | if,
in relation to the subject matter of the eligible proceeding, the eligible party did not
act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the company or the associated
corporation, as the case may be; or |
| (d) | in
the case of an eligible proceeding other than a civil proceeding, if the eligible party did
not have reasonable grounds for believing that the eligible party’s conduct in respect
of which the proceeding was brought was lawful. |
Additionally,
if an eligible proceeding is brought against an eligible party by or on behalf of the company or by or on behalf of an associated corporation,
the company must neither indemnify the eligible party nor pay the expenses of the eligible party in respect of the proceeding.
Whether
or not payment of expenses or indemnification has been sought, authorized or declined under Part 5, Division 5 of the BCBCA, Section
164 of the BCBCA provides that, on application of a company or an eligible party, the Supreme Court of British Columbia may do
one or more of the following:
| (a) | order
a company to indemnify an eligible party against any liability incurred by the eligible party
in respect of an eligible proceeding; |
| (b) | order
a company to pay some or all of the expenses incurred by an eligible party in respect of
an eligible proceeding; |
| (c) | order
the enforcement of, or any payment under, an agreement of indemnification entered into by
a company; |
| (d) | order
the Corporation to pay some or all of the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by any
person in obtaining an order under Section 164 of the BCBCA; or |
| (e) | make
any other order the court considers appropriate. |
Section
165 of the BCBCA provides that a company may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of an eligible party or the heirs
and personal or other legal representatives of the eligible party against any liability that may be incurred by reason of the eligible
party being or having been a director or officer of, or holding or having held a position equivalent to that of a director or officer
of, the company or an associated corporation.
Under
its Articles, and subject to the BCBCA, the Registrant must indemnify a director, former director or alternate director and his
or her heirs and legal personal representatives against all eligible penalties to which such person is or may be liable, and the Registrant
must, after the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in respect
of that proceeding. Each director and alternate director is deemed to have contracted with the Registrant on the above terms.
Under
the Registrant’s Articles, subject to any restrictions in the BCBCA, the Registrant may indemnify any person. The Registrant
has entered into indemnity agreements with certain of its directors and officers.
Pursuant
to the Articles, the failure of a director, alternate director or officer of the Registrant to comply with the BCBCA or the Registrant’s
Notice of Articles, or, if applicable, any former Companies Act or former articles of the Registrant, does not invalidate any indemnity
to which he or she is entitled under the Registrant’s Articles.
Under
the Registrant’s Articles, the Registrant may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any person (or his or her heirs
or legal personal representatives) who:
| ● | is
or was a director, alternate director, officer, employee or agent of the Registrant; |
| ● | is
or was a director, alternate director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation at a time
when such corporation is or was an affiliate of the Registrant; |
| ● | at
the Registrant’s request, is or was, a director, alternate director, officer, employee
or agent of a corporation or of a partnership, trust, joint venture or other unincorporated
entity; or |
| ● | at
the Registrant’s request, holds or held a position equivalent to that of, a director,
alternate director or officer of a partnership, trust, joint venture or other unincorporated
entity, |
against
any liability incurred by him or her as such director, alternate director, officer, employee or agent or person who holds or held such
equivalent position.
The
Registrant maintains directors’ and officers’ liability insurance which insures directors and officers for losses as a result
of claims against the directors and officers of the Registrant in their capacity as directors and officers.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the U.S. Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling
the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is therefore unenforceable.
The
exhibit index attached hereto is incorporated herein by reference.
(a)
The Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i)
to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)
to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most
recent post-effective amendment thereof) which individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set
forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the
estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate,
the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation
of Filing Fee Tables” in the effective Registration Statement; and
(iii)
to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement
or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
provided,
however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included
in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant
to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement, or is contained
in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of this Registration Statement;
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering;
(4)
To file a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A of Form 20-F
at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial Statements and information otherwise required by
Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act need not be furnished, provided that the Registrant includes in the prospectus, by means
of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph and other information necessary to ensure that
all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
with respect to registration statements on Form F-3, a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and
information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act or Item 8.A of Form 20–F if such financial statements and information
are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the Form F-3;
(5)
That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
(i)
Each prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant
to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of this Registration Statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and
included in this Registration Statement; and
(ii)
Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to
Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to
Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be
deemed to be part of and included in this Registration Statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used
after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided
in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be
a new effective date of this Registration Statement relating to the securities in this Registration Statement to which the prospectus
relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided,
however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of this Registration Statement or made in a document
incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement or prospectus that is part of this Registration Statement
will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made
in this Registration Statement or prospectus that was part of this Registration Statement or made in any such document immediately prior
to such effective date;
(6)
That, for the purpose of determining liability of a registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution
of the securities, the Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the Registrant pursuant to this Registration
Statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold
to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered
to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: (i) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the Registrant relating to the offering
required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (ii) any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the
Registrant or used or referred to by the Registrant; (iii) the portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering
containing material information about the Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the Registrant; and (iv) any other
communication that is an offer in the offering made by the Registrant to the purchaser.
(b)
The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s
annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit
plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that
a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification
by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

USA |
Matter No. T1036945 |
Dear
Sirs:
Re: | The Real Brokerage
Inc. (the “Company”) - Registration Statement on Form F-3 |
We
have acted as Canadian counsel to the Company in connection with the filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “Commission”) under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),
of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form F-3 to be filed on the date hereof (the “Registration Statement”),
relating to the Company’s offers and sales from time to time of up to an aggregate amount of US$100,000,000 of the Company’s
common shares (the “Offered Shares” and each common share of the Company, a “Common Share”), and
the offers and sales from time to time by certain shareholders of the Company set forth in the Registration Statement (collectively,
the “Selling Shareholders”) of up to 45,000,000 Common Shares (the “Secondary Shares”).
The
Registration Statement includes a prospectus (the “Prospectus”), which provides that it will be supplemented in the
future by one or more prospectus supplements (each a “Prospectus Supplement”). The Offered Shares may be offered and
sold by the Company in primary offerings from time to time, subject to the limitations described in the Registration Statement and the
terms and conditions to be set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement(s); and the Selling Shareholders may offer and sell Secondary
Shares in secondary offerings from time to time, as contemplated by the Registration Statement and described in the applicable Prospectus
Supplement.
We
are qualified to practice law in the Province of British Columbia, and we do not express any opinion with respect to the laws of any
jurisdiction other than the laws of the Province of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein (including in
respect of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “BCBCA”)), in each case, in force at the date
of this opinion letter (the “Applicable Law”). Notwithstanding the foregoing and our opinion set forth below, we express
no opinion with respect to the compliance or non-compliance with applicable privacy laws in connection with the issuance and sale of

WLG (Canada) LLP is a member of Gowling WLG, an international law firm which consists of independent and autonomous entities providing
services around the world. Our structure is explained in more detail at gowlingwlg.com/legal. |
| (b) | a
certificate of officers of the Company dated the date hereof regarding certain factual matters
(the “Officers’ Certificate”), to which is attached a certified
copy of: |
| (i) | the
Company’s Notice of Articles (the “Notice of Articles”), as in effect
on the date hereof; |
| (ii) | the
Company’s Articles (together with the Notice of Articles, the “Constating
Documents”), as in effect on the date hereof; and |
| (iii) | a
copy of the resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”)
relating to the Registration Statement, the allotment and issuance of the Secondary Shares
and other matters. |
We
have also examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such records of the Company and such
other documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinion set forth herein.
In
our examination, we have assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all
documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed,
photostatic, electronic, or facsimile copies and the authenticity of the originals of such documents. In making our examination of executed
documents or documents which may be executed, we have assumed that the parties thereto, other than the Company, had or will have the
power, corporate or other, to enter into and perform all obligations thereunder and have also assumed the due authorization by all requisite
action, corporate or other, and execution and delivery by such parties, of such documents and that (except to the extent we have opined
on such matters below) such documents constitute or will constitute valid and binding obligations of the parties thereto.
As
to any facts material to the opinion expressed herein which we have not independently established or verified, we have relied exclusively
on the Officers’ Certificate with respect to the accuracy of the factual matters contained herein. We have also assumed that, at
the time of issuance and sale of any Offered Shares or at the time of sale of any of the Secondary Shares, as the case may be:
| (a) | the
Constating Documents and the Applicable Law shall not have been amended so as to affect the
validity of the issuance of such Offered Shares; |
| (b) | the
Board, together with any designated committee thereof, shall have duly established the terms
of sale of such Offered Shares and shall have duly authorized the issuance and sale of such
Offered Shares, and such authorizations shall not have been modified or rescinded; |
| (c) | the
Registration Statement, as finally amended (including all necessary post-effective amendments),
shall have become effective and such effectiveness shall not have been terminated or rescinded; |
| (d) | a
Prospectus Supplement with respect to the Offered Shares or the Secondary Shares, as the
case may be, has been prepared, delivered, and filed in compliance with the Securities Act
and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder; |
| (e) | the
Offered Shares or the Secondary Shares, as the case may be, will be offered, issued and sold,
as the case may be, in compliance with applicable United States federal and state securities
laws and in the manner stated in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus and the appropriate
Prospectus Supplement; and |
| (f) | if
the Offered Shares or the Secondary Shares, as the case may be, are to be sold pursuant to
a brokered offering, the underwriting, purchase or agency agreement with respect to the sale
of such Offered Shares or Secondary Shares, as the case may be, will have been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by the Company (if the Company is a party thereto) and the other parties
thereto, and will be a legally valid and binding obligation of the parties thereto. |
Based
and relying upon and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:
1. | With
respect to any Offered Shares which may be offered pursuant to the Registration Statement,
when: |
| (a) | the
allotment, issuance and sale of the Offered Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate action in conformity with the Constating Documents (as then in effect) and the
BCBCA (as then in effect), and will not violate any Applicable Law or result in a default
under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon the Company or any of its subsidiaries
and comply with any requirement or restriction imposed by any court or governmental body
of Canada or British Columbia having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its subsidiaries; |
| (b) | the
full consideration, determined to be adequate by the Company’s Board of Directors (or
a duly authorized committee thereof), and as provided pursuant to the applicable agreements
pursuant to which the Offered Shares are to be issued, in the manner contemplated in the
applicable Prospectus Supplement relating thereto, has been received by the Company in respect
of such Offered Shares; and |
| (c) | if
certificated, the certificates representing the Offered Shares have been duly executed and
delivered by the proper officers of the Company to the purchasers thereof against payment
of the agreed-upon consideration therefor in the manner contemplated in the Registration
Statement or any Prospectus Supplement relating thereto, |
the
Offered Shares will be validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.
2. | With
respect to any Secondary Shares which may be offered by Selling Shareholders pursuant to
the Registration Statement, such Secondary Shares have been validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable. |
This
opinion has been prepared for your use in connection with the Registration Statement and is expressed as of the date hereof. Our opinion
is expressly limited to the matters set forth above and we render no opinion, whether by implication or otherwise, as to any other matters
relating to the Company, the Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the Offered Shares or the Secondary Shares.
This
opinion is expressed as of the date hereof unless otherwise expressly stated, and we disclaim any undertaking to advise you of any subsequent
changes of the facts stated or assumed herein or any subsequent changes in Applicable Law.
We
hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and to the use of our name under the caption
“Legal Matters” in the Registration Statement. By the giving of such consent, we do not admit that we are experts with respect
to any part of the Registration Statement, or otherwise, within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the Commission.
