The offering was led by a syndicate of underwriters, with Eight Capital acting as lead underwriter and sole bookrunner, and including National Bank Financial Inc., Clarus Securities Inc. and Stifel GMP. In connection with the offering, the underwriters received an aggregate cash commission in the amount of approximately $565,000 and an aggregate of 1,527,075 non-transferable broker warrants. Each broker warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one unit at an exercise price of 37 cents until June 6, 2024.

The offering was completed pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption (as defined in National Instrument 45-106 -- Prospectus Exemptions) and the securities issued to purchasers in the offering are not subject to a hold period pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws.
