Key Financial and Capitalization Information

  • The company issued a $5.0 million non-convertible debenture to an investor on January 23, 2024.
  • The debenture bears interest at 4.0% per annum.
  • Principal and accrued interest are repayable in full upon the earlier of the closing of the related subscription transaction or June 30, 2024.
  • The debenture payment will offset the $5.0 million aggregate purchase price under a previously reported private placement subscription agreement.

Material Changes Versus the Prior Comparable Period

  • The related private placement consists of units containing one common share and one pre-funded warrant to purchase 0.3 shares at an exercise price of $0.001 per share.
