Material Changes
The primary material change reported is the execution of the Second Purchase Agreement dated December 11, 2017, resulting in the issuance of 10 million common shares. This transaction triggered an adjustment to the terms of existing Warrants issued under the June 11, 2014 Warrant Agreement. Additionally, the filing notes that the issuance of Series C Convertible Preferred Shares constitutes an issuance of Variable Price Securities, granting warrant holders the right to adopt the Variable Price of those preferred shares as the Exercise Price for their warrants.
