(collectively, the “Underwriters”), the Company has closed on the previously announced partial exercise by the Underwriters of their option to increase the size of the Offering (the “Underwriter’s Option”), purchasing an additional 545,500 flow-through units (each, a “FT Unit”) at a price of $1.80 per FT Unit. The underlying common shares qualify as “flow-through shares” (within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) and section 359.1 of the Taxation Act (Québec)).
