Each Unit is comprised of one common share (each, a “Common Share”) and one common share purchase warrant (each, a “Warrant”).

In addition to other prospectus exemptions commonly relied on in private placements, the Offering will be available to existing shareholders of the Company who, as of the close of business on May 2, 2022 held common shares of the Company (and who continue to hold such common shares as of the closing date), pursuant to the prospectus exemption set out in BC Instrument 45-534 - Exemption from prospectus requirement for certain trades to existing security holders and in similar instruments in other jurisdictions in Canada (the “Existing Shareholder Exemption”). The Existing Shareholder Exemption limits a shareholder to a maximum investment of $15,000 in a 12-month period unless the shareholder has obtained advice regarding the suitability of the investment and, if the shareholder is resident in a jurisdiction of Canada, that advice has been obtained from a person that is registered as an investment dealer in the jurisdiction.

 

The Company will also make the Offering available to certain subscribers pursuant to BC Instrument 45-536 – Exemption from prospectus requirement for certain distributions through an investment dealer (the “Investment Dealer Exemption”). In accordance with the requirements of the Investment Dealer Exemption, the Company confirms that there is no material fact or material change about the Company that has not been generally disclosed.

 

The Company plans to allocate the net proceeds of the Offering for the production of SWMBRDs for sale, the production of two (2) additional SWMBRD molds in different sizes, expenses related to listings on the OTCQB and Frankfurt Exchange and as general working capital. The Company may increase or decrease the size of the Offering in its sole discretion. The Offering will be non-brokered, but the Company may, as determined in its sole discretion, pay reasonable customary brokers’ and/or finders fees, as applicable, in connection with the completion of the Offering.

 

All securities issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to applicable resale restrictions, including a four month hold from the date of issuance.

 

The securities being offered in the Offering have not been, nor will they be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit, of U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.
