Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On March 12, 2018, we completed a private placement of an aggregate of 5,896,359 subscription receipts at a price of $0.60 per subscription receipt for an aggregate gross proceeds of $3,537,815.40. In the event of the occurrence of the escrow release condition (as defined below), each subscription receipt will automatically convert into one share of our common stock, for no additional consideration. The subscription amounts will be held by an escrow agent until the escrow release condition. The escrow release condition is the receipt by our company of conditional approval for the listing of the shares of our common stock on a Canadian stock exchange. In the event that the escrow release condition is satisfied prior to 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on May 31, 2018, we will deliver a notice to the escrow agent confirming the escrow release condition has been satisfied. Upon receipt of the notice, the escrow agent will, as soon as practicable thereafter, release the subscription amounts to our company and each subscription receipt will automatically convert into one share of our common stock without payment of any additional consideration. If the escrow release condition is not satisfied by 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on May 31, 2018 or if we deliver a written default notice to the escrow agent that the escrow release condition will not be satisfied by that time, the subscription receipts will expire and be of no further force and effect, effective as of the earlier of (i) 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on May 31, 2018 and (ii) the date of the receipt of the default notice, and the subscribers will be entitled to receive from the escrow agent a refund of the subscription amounts held in escrow, without interest and less applicable expenses. In connection with the closing of the private placement, we paid cash commissions in the aggregate amount of $29,399.97.

In connection with this private placement, we agreed with each subscriber who purchased these subscription receipts to prepare and file a registration statement with respect to 50% of the shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the subscription receipts with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 90 days following the closing of the private placement and agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission as soon as possible after filing.

Of the 5,896,359 subscription receipts we issued: (i) 358,333 subscription receipts were issued pursuant to the exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended provided by Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended to 11 investors who were “accredited investors” within the respective meanings ascribed to that term in Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; and (ii) 5,538,026 subscription receipts were issued to 105 non-U.S. persons (as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) in an offshore transaction relying on Regulation S and/or Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
