Material Changes
On May 3, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to its Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (SEPA) originally signed on January 26, 2023, with YA II PN, Ltd. ("Yorkville"). Key changes include:
- Deletion or revision of provisions related to TSX listing requirements following the Company's delisting from the TSX.
- Removal of certain limitations on the number of advances the Company is permitted to effect under the agreement.
- The original SEPA allows the Company to issue and sell common shares up to a maximum aggregate value of $65,000,000 (the "Commitment Amount").
- The agreement term remains effective until the earliest of April 1, 2026, full payment of the Commitment Amount, or termination per the agreement terms.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing does not provide specific financial guidance, management commentary on future performance, or a discussion of general business risks. The primary contingency noted is the successful execution of the SEPA amendment to facilitate capital raising post-TSX delisting. The Company is not an emerging growth company.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the specific terms of the removed TSX-related provisions in Exhibit 10.1 (Amendment No. 1).
- Confirm the current status of the $65,000,000 Commitment Amount and any draws made to date under the SEPA.
