The purchase price for each Series E Share was $25.00, resulting in total gross proceeds of $162,500. Emerging Growth Equities, Ltd. served as the Company’s exclusive placement agent in connection with the private placement. Fees payable to Emerging Growth Equities, Ltd. at completion of the transaction were 5% of gross proceeds, plus warrants to purchase 5% of the number of common shares into which the Series E shares can be converted (100 common shares) at an exercise price of $0.25 per share.
