approximately 18.2% of the issued and outstanding common shares of
the Corporation, and (ii) 18,247,344 common share purchase

61-101”). It is exempt from the requirements to obtain (i) a formal
valuation and (ii) minority approval, pursuant to section 5.5(a)

The independent directors of the Corporation
have approved the Royalty Transaction and the board members who are
