The issuances of Units to insiders pursuant to the Brokered Offering and Non-Brokered Offering will also be considered related party transactions within the meaning of TSXV Policy 5.9 and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). CPS intends to rely on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements in sections 5.5(c) and 5.7(b) of MI 61-101 in respect of such insider participation on the basis that neither the fair market value of the securities to be distributed in the Brokered Offering and Non-Brokered Offering nor the consideration to be received for those securities, in so far as the Brokered Offering and Non-Brokered Offering involves the Insiders, exceeds $2,500,000. Further details will be provided in the Company’s material change report to be filed on SEDAR. The Company expects to file a material change report in respect of the related party transaction less than 21 days prior to the closing of the Brokered Offering and Non-Brokered Offering, which the Company deems reasonable in the circumstances so as to be able to avail itself of the proceeds.
