Issuance of POCO Exchange Stock to PUREBASE Stockholders. As consideration for the transfer, assignment, conveyance and delivery of the PUREBASE Capital Stock hereunder, POCO shall, at the Closing, issue to the PUREBASE Stockholders, pro rata in accordance with each Stockholder’s percentage ownership of PUREBASE immediately prior to the Closing, certificates representing an aggregate of Forty Five Million Eight Hundred and Seventeen Thousand Eight Hundred and Two (45,817,802) shares of POCO common stock (the “POCO Exchange Stock”). The “Exchange Ratio” shall be one-to-one (1-for-1) whereby one (1) share of POCO Stock will be exchanged for one (1) share of PUREBASE Capital Stock. The parties intend that the POCO Exchange Shares being issued will be used to acquire all outstanding PUREBASE Capital Stock. The transfer of PUREBASE Capital Stock and the issuance of POCO Exchange Stock described in this Agreement shall be referred to as the “Exchange Transaction”.
|
1.3
|
PUREBASE Stock Options. PUREBASE will have no outstanding options, warrants or any other right to purchase PUREBASE’s common stock on the Closing Date.

|
POCO Exchange Stock to be Restricted. None of the POCO Exchange Stock issued to the PUREBASE Stockholders, nor any of the PUREBASE Capital Stock transferred to POCO hereunder shall, at the time of Closing, be registered under U.S. securities laws but, rather, shall be issued pursuant to an exemption therefrom and be considered “restricted stock” within the meaning of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). All of the issued POCO Exchange Stock shall bear a legend worded substantially as follows:
|
“The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) and are ‘restricted securities’ as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Act. The shares may not be offered for sale, sold or otherwise transferred except pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act, the availability of which is to be established to the satisfaction of the Company.”
|
The respective transfer agents of POCO and PUREBASE shall annotate their records to reflect the restrictions on transfer embodied in the legend set forth above. There shall be no requirement that POCO register the POCO Exchange Stock under the 1933 Act, nor shall PUREBASE or the PUREBASE Stockholders be required to register any PUREBASE Capital Stock under the 1933 Act.
