If any of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the opinions, estimates or assumptions underlying the forward-looking information prove incorrect, actual results or future events might vary materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking information. The opinions, estimates or assumptions referred to above and described in greater detail in “Risk Factors” in the US Offering Circular should be considered carefully by readers.
Although management has attempted to identify important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information, there may be other risk factors not presently known to the Company or that it presently believes are not material that could also cause actual results or future events to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking information. There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information, which speaks only as of the date made. The forward-looking information contained in this Canadian Private Placement Memorandum represents the Company’s expectations as of the date of this Canadian Private Placement Memorandum (or as the date they are otherwise stated to be made), and are subject to change after such date.

Canadian investors should consult with their own legal advisers concerning the enforceability of civil liabilities and judgements in the United States and other jurisdictions outside of Canada, as applicable, prior to investing in the Shares.

Where used herein, “Misrepresentation” means an untrue statement of a material fact or an omission to state a material fact that is required to be stated or that is necessary to make any statement not misleading in light of the circumstances in which it was made.

Ontario
Section 130.1 of the Securities Act (Ontario) provides that every investor of Shares pursuant to an offering memorandum (such as this Canadian Private Placement Memorandum) shall have a statutory right of action for damages or rescission against the Company in the event that the offering memorandum contains a Misrepresentation. An investor who purchases Shares offered by the offering memorandum during the period of distribution has, without regard to whether the investor relied upon the Misrepresentation, a right of action for damages or, alternatively, while still the owner of the Shares, for rescission against the Company provided that:
| (a) |
if the investor exercises its right of rescission, it shall cease to have a right of action for damages as against the Company;
|
| (b) |
the Company will not be liable if they prove that the investor purchased the Shares with knowledge of the Misrepresentation;
|
| (c) |
the Company will not be liable for all or any portion of damages that it proves do not represent the depreciation in value of the Shares as a result of the Misrepresentation relied upon; and
|
| (d) |
in no case shall the amount recoverable exceed the price at which the Shares were offered.
|
Section 138 of the Securities Act (Ontario) provides that no action shall be commenced to enforce these rights more than:
| (a) |
in the case of an action for rescission, 180 days after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action; or
|
| (b) |
in the case of an action for damages, the earlier of:
|
| (i) |
180 days after the date that the investor first had knowledge of the facts giving rise to the cause of action; or
|
| (ii) |
three years after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action.
|
This Canadian Private Placement Memorandum is being delivered to Ontario investors in reliance on the exemption from the prospectus requirements contained under section 2.3 of National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions (the “accredited investor exemption”). The rights referred to in section 130.1 of the Securities Act (Ontario) do not apply in respect of an offering memorandum (such as this Canadian Private Placement Memorandum) delivered to a prospective investor in connection with a distribution made in reliance on the accredited investor exemption if the prospective investor is:
| (a) |
a Canadian financial institution or a Schedule III bank (each as defined in NI 45-106);
|
| (b) |
the Business Development Bank of Canada incorporated under the Business Development Bank of Canada Act (Canada); or
|
| (c) |
a subsidiary of any person referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b), if the person owns all of the voting securities of the subsidiary, except the voting securities required by law to be owned by directors of that subsidiary.
|
The foregoing summary is subject to the express provisions of the securities legislation referred to above and the rules, regulations and other instruments thereunder, and reference is made to the complete text of such provisions. Such provisions may contain limitations and statutory defences on which the Company may rely. The enforceability of these rights may be limited as described herein under section entitled “Enforcement of Legal Rights”.
The rights of action for damages or rescission discussed above are in addition to, and without derogation from, any other right or remedy which investors may have at law.
