The distribution will be made in reliance on statutory exemptions from the prospectus requirements of Canadian securities laws applicable in each of the Offering Jurisdictions and, in particular, the Notes will only be sold in:

 

a)             the province of Alberta, pursuant to the “accredited investor exemption” (as defined in National Instrument 45-106 — Prospectus Exemptions (“NI 45-106”)) and therefore only to purchasers that are “accredited investors” (as such term is defined in NI 45-106) who purchase the Notes as principal (or are deemed to be purchasing as principal) that are not individuals unless those individuals are also “permitted clients” (as such term is defined in National Instrument 31-103 — Registration Requirements, Exemptions and Ongoing Registrant Obligations); and

 

b)             the Offering Jurisdictions other than the province of Alberta, pursuant to the C$150,000 minimum amount investment exemption, and therefore only to purchasers that are not individuals and that are purchasing as principal, Notes with an acquisition cost to each purchaser of not less than C$150,000 paid in cash at the time of closing, unless such a purchaser is a person acting on behalf of a fully managed account described in paragraph (p) or (q) of the definition of “accredited investor” in section 1.1 of NI 45-106 in which case the Notes may only be sold on a private placement basis to such purchaser pursuant to the “accredited investor exemption”.

 



 

Resale Restrictions:

 

Resale of the Notes will be subject to restrictions under applicable Canadian securities laws. Unless permitted under applicable Canadian securities laws, holders of the Notes must not trade the Notes before the date that is four months and a day after the later of (i) May 4, 2017 and (ii) the date the issuer becomes a reporting issuer in Canada. Prospective purchasers should consult their own independent legal advisors with respect to such restrictions. The Notes are a new issue of securities for which no established trading market exists.
