Unless the Company determines to increase the gross proceeds of the Offering, if subscriptions received for the Offering based on all available exemptions exceed the maximum Offering amount of $1,200,000 then they will be allocated pro rata among all subscribers qualifying under all available exemptions.This advertisement has not loaded yet.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.Completion of the Offering is subject to regulatory approval including, but not limited to, the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
