To do so, send a notice to Enertopia Corporation stating that you want to cancel your purchase.

PLEASE REVIEW THE INFORMATION ON PAGE 2 OF THIS RISK ACKNOWLEDGMENT
You are buying Exempt Market Securities
They are called exempt market securities because two parts of securities law do not apply to them. If an issuer wants to sell exempt market securities to you:
-
the issuer does not have to give you a prospectus (a document that describes the investment in detail and gives you some legal protections), and
-
the securities do not have to be sold by an investment dealer registered with a securities regulatory authority.
There are restrictions on your ability to resell exempt market securities. Exempt market securities are more risky than other securities.
You will receive an offering memorandum
Read the offering memorandum carefully because it has important information about the issuer and its securities. Keep the offering memorandum because you have rights based on it. Talk to a lawyer for details about these rights.
You will not receive advice
You will not get professional advice about whether the investment is suitable for you. But you can still seek that advice from a registered adviser or registered dealer. In Alberta, Manitoba, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Island, Québec, Saskatchewan and Yukon to qualify as an eligible investor, you may be required to obtain that advice.
