Material Changes and Related Agreements

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing does not contain forward-looking guidance, revenue outlook, or management commentary regarding future operational performance. Key risks and contingencies include:
- Registration Timing: The resale of the new shares and warrant shares depends on the effectiveness of a registration statement, which the Company must file within 15 days and have declared effective within 30 days of the agreement.
- Ownership Limits: Warrant exercises are restricted if they would cause the holder to beneficially own more than 4.99% of outstanding shares (increasable to 9.99% at the holder's election).
- Cashless Exercise: Warrants may only be exercised on a cashless basis if a registration statement is not effective or available.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the effective date of the Resale Registration Statement to confirm when the new shares and warrant shares can be publicly traded.
- Confirm the exact net proceeds received after deducting the 8% placement fee and reimbursed expenses.
- Review the specific increased exercise prices for the amended warrants issued to Denis Suggs, KCGM, and Charcoal Investment Ltd.
- Monitor shareholder approval status required for the KCGM pre-funded warrant to become exercisable.
- Check for any subsequent filings regarding the 30-day lock-up period on new issuances.
