Concurrent with the Offering, the Company also intends to complete a private placement offering (the "Concurrent Private Placement") of units (the "Private Placement Units") at a price of $0.12 per Private Placement Unit for gross proceeds of approximately $500,000.

The Agent will act on a "best-efforts" agency basis in connection with the Offering and Concurrent Private Placement.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds raised from the Offering and Concurrent Private Placement for the further development and commercialization of its Credissential and Credissential Dealerflow products, and for general corporate and administrative purposes.
Subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and in accordance with NI 45-106, the Unit Shares issuable under the Offering will be offered for sale to purchasers resident in Canada, other than Quebec, pursuant to the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption and will not be subject to resale restrictions in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws.
