Certain insiders of the Company, namely Christian Jon Grainger, a director and the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Evan Jones, a director and the Chairman of the Company, and Kerry Francis Griffin, the former Interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company (collectively, the “Insiders”), participated in the Offering (collectively, the “Insider Participation”).

Mr. Jones participated in the Offering for a total of 3,000,000 Common Shares (1,000,000 shares of which were subscribed for personally, and 2,000,000 shares of which were subscribed for by Synacy Inc, a private company which is indirectly owned by a trust of which Mr. Jones is a beneficiary) for a total of C$150,000. Mr. Griffin participated in the Offering for a total of 600,000 Common Shares for C$30,000.
