Pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 — Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ('MI 61-101'), the Debt Settlement constitutes a 'related party transaction' as a company controlled by an officer and director of the Company was involved in the Debt Settlement. The Company is exempt from the formal valuation requirement of MI 61-101 in connection with the debt settlement in reliance of section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101, as no securities of the Company are listed or quoted for trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange, Aequitas NEO Exchange Inc., the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market, or a stock exchange outside of Canada and the United States, other than the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange or the Plus makets operated by Plus Markets Group plc. Additionally, the Company is exempt from obtaining minority approval in connection with the Debt Settlement in reliance on section 5.7(e) of MI 61-101 as the Company is in financial difficulty. The Debt Settlement was approved by a quorum of the board of directors of Company (the 'Board') on September 6, 2018. The Board, acting in good faith, and the independent members of the Board, acting in good faith, determined that Company is in serious financial difficulty, that the Debt Settlement is designed to improve the Company's financial position and that the terms of the Debt Settlement are reasonable in the Company's circumstances. The Company anticipates it will file a material change report less than 21 days before the closing of the Debt Settlement.
