The private placement is exempt from the formal valuation approval requirements of MI 61-101 and exempt from the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as at the time the private placement was announced and closed, neither the fair market value of the private placement, nor the fair market value of the consideration for the private placement, in the aggregate or insofar as it involves interested parties, exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization.
