Each unit consists of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share in the company at a price equal to $10.00 until February 23, 2023.

The units were offered and sold by way of a final short form prospectus dated February 17, 2021, filed in each of the provinces of Canada and offered and sold elsewhere outside of Canada on a private placement basis.
