The special committee was comprised of one director who is independent within the meaning of MI 61-101.There are three directors who are independent within the meaning of MI 61-101.
The participation by Daniel Wettreich in the Private Placement is considered to be a related party transaction as defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). A special committee consisting of an independent director established by the board of directors determined the related party transaction is fair and reasonable in the circumstances to the Company. The Company has relied on sections 5.5(b) and (c) of MI 61-101 for an exemption from the formal valuation requirement, and section 5.7(b) of MI 61-101 for an exemption from the minority shareholder approval requirements. A material change report in respect of the related party transaction will not be filed at least 21 days in advance of the closing of the Private Placement due to the Company’s immediate need to address its financial situation, which omission is both reasonable and fair in the circumstances. MI 61-101 requires if a material change report is filed less than 21 days before the expected date of the closing of the transaction, an explanation is to be provided as to why the shorter period is reasonable or necessary in the circumstances.
