In connection with the Offering, the Company paid to the Agents a cash commission equal to 6% of the gross proceeds of the Offering, including any proceeds raised pursuant to the exercise of the Over-Allotment Option. The Company also granted the Agents non-transferable options (the "Compensation Options") entitling the Agents to purchase such number of Common Shares equal to 6% of the aggregate number of Units issued by the Company under the Offering, each such Compensation Option entitling the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.75 for a period of 18 months from the closing date of the Offering.
