RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described below, the risks described under the heading "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, and under similar headings in our subsequently filed reports on Form 8-K, and other information contained in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes, as well as our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes, before you decide whether to purchase our securities. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. As a result, the trading price of our common shares could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment in our securities.
Risks Related to this Offering and our Securities
The market price of our common shares has been, and may continue to be, volatile, and the value of your investment could decline significantly.
The trading price for our common shares has been, and we expect it to continue to be, volatile. The price at which our common shares trade depends upon a number of factors, including our historical and anticipated operating results, regulatory approvals, our financial condition, our ability or inability to raise the additional capital we may need and the terms on which we raise it, and general market and economic conditions, most of which are beyond our control. The foregoing factors, among others, may contribute to the volatility of the market price of our common shares, leading to broad market fluctuations that could lower the market price of our common shares, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment in our common shares.
Management will have broad discretion as to the use of the net proceeds from this offering, and we may not use the proceeds effectively.
Our management will have broad discretion as to the application of the net proceeds from this offering and could use them for purposes other than those contemplated at the time of this offering, as described in "Use of Proceeds". Our shareholders may not agree with the manner in which our management chooses to allocate and spend the net proceeds. Moreover, our management may use the net proceeds for corporate purposes that may not increase our market value.
We do not intend to pay dividends or other distributions to our stockholders.
We currently do not, and do not intend to, pay cash dividends on our common shares in the foreseeable future. We expect that we will retain cash generated from operations, if any, for working capital purposes and to fund the continued expansion of our business. Moreover, future payment of dividends may be restricted by credit or other agreements to which we are a party. Our stockholders may not be able to receive a return on their investment unless they sell our common shares.
You will experience immediate and substantial dilution.
The offering price for the common shares offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement is substantially higher than the net tangible book value of each outstanding share of our common shares. Purchasers of common shares in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution on a book value basis. Following this offering, there will be an immediate increase in net tangible book value of approximately $0.17 per share to our existing shareholders, and an immediate dilution of $1.17 per share to investors purchasing shares in this offering, based on an offering price of $2.00 per common share and associated investor warrant, and after deducting the placement agent fees and other estimated offering expenses payable by us. If the holders of outstanding options or other securities convertible into our common shares exercise those options or other such securities at prices below the offering price, you will incur further dilution. Please see the section in the prospectus supplement entitled "Dilution" for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur in this offering.
Sales of a substantial number of our common shares, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely affect the trading price of our common shares.
As of September 18, 2023, we had 6,847,095 common shares outstanding, excluding common shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and shares that are issuable under our existing equity compensation plans as well as the common shares issuable to the shareholders of Franchise pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement. Sales of common shares underlying stock options, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our common shares. A decline in the price of our common shares might impede our ability to raise capital through the issuance of additional common shares or other equity securities and could result in a decline in the value of your investment in our common shares.
There is no public market for the warrants being offered in this offering.
There is no established public trading market for the warrants being offered in this offering, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply for listing of the warrants on any national securities exchange or other trading market. Without an active market, the liquidity of the investor warrants will be extremely limited.
Holders of our warrants will have no rights as a common shareholder until such holders exercise their warrants and acquire our common shares.
Until you acquire common shares upon exercise of your warrants, you will have no rights with respect to the common shares underlying such warrants, except as set forth in the warrants. Upon exercise of your warrants, you will be entitled to exercise the rights of a common shareholder only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise date.
The warrants may never have any value.
The investor warrants being sold in the concurrent private placement have an exercise price of $2.50 per common share and the placement agent warrants have an exercise price of $2.39 per common share. The investor warrants will expire after five and one-half years from the issuance date, and the placement agent warrants will expire after five years from the issuance date. In the event our common share price does not exceed the per share exercise price of the investor warrants during the period when the warrants are exercisable, the warrants may not have any value.
A substantial number of common shares are being sold in this offering and the concurrent private placement, which could cause the price of our common shares to decline.
In this registered offering we are selling 1,369,000 common shares. In addition, in the concurrent private placement, we are also selling investor warrants to purchase 1,369,000 common shares and private placement warrants to purchase 54,760 common shares. In the aggregate, excluding the unregistered shares underlying the investor warrants and placement agent warrants, the shares issued in this registered offering represent approximately 19% of our outstanding common shares as of September 18, 2023, before giving effect to the sale of the common shares in this registered offering. This sale and any future sales of a substantial number of common shares in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the price of our common shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of those common shares or the availability of those common shares for sale will have on the market price of our common shares.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This prospectus supplement contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other U.S. Federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements may include projections and estimates concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, financial condition, business strategies and plans, market opportunity, competitive position, industry environment, and potential growth opportunities. In some cases, you can identify forward- looking statements by terms such as "may", "will", "should", "believe", "expect", "could", "intend", "plan", "anticipate", "estimate", "continue", "predict", "project", "potential", "target," "goal" or other words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, because forward-looking statements relate to matters that have not yet occurred, they are inherently subject to significant business, competitive, economic, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. These and other important factors, including, among others, those discussed under the caption "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this prospectus supplement. Some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements include:
- our limited operating history and net losses;
- unpredictable events, such as the COVID-19 outbreak, and associated business disruptions;
- our ability to complete acquisitions and the successful integration of such acquisitions;
- changes in cannabis laws, regulations and guidelines;
- decrease in demand for cannabis and derivative products due to certain research findings, proceedings, or negative media attention;
- damage to our reputation as a result of negative publicity;
- exposure to product liability claims, actions and litigation;
- risks associated with product recalls;
- product viability;
- continuing research and development efforts to respond to technological and regulatory changes;
- shelf life of inventory;
- our ability to successfully close and integrate businesses that we acquire;
- maintenance of effective quality control systems;
- changes to energy prices and supply;
- risks associated with expansion into new jurisdictions;
- regulatory compliance risks;
- opposition to the cannabinoid industry; and
- potential delisting resulting in reduced liquidity of our common shares.
Given the foregoing risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements in this prospectus supplement. The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus supplement are not guarantees of future performance and our actual results of operations and financial condition may differ materially from such forward- looking statements. In addition, even if our results of operations and financial condition are consistent with the forward-looking statements in this prospectus supplement, they may not be predictive of results or developments in future periods.
Any forward-looking statement that we make in this prospectus supplement speaks only as of the date of this prospectus supplement. Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise, or to publicly announce any update or revision to, any of the forward-looking statements in this prospectus supplement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date of this prospectus supplement.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We estimate that the net proceeds to us from this offering of securities will be approximately $2.4 million, after deducting the placement agent fees and other estimated expenses relating to the offering.
We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for capital expenditures, to increase operating capacity, working capital and general corporate purposes. Our net proceeds will be utilized for certain capital expenditures and operating expenditures across all of our divisions.
This expected use of the net proceeds from this offering represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions. Our management will have discretion in allocating the net proceeds in accordance with the above priorities and purposes. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend upon numerous factors, including the progress of our expansion and development efforts, whether or not we enter into strategic transactions, our general operating costs and expenditures, and the changing needs of our business.
DILUTION
If you invest in the securities being offered by this prospectus supplement, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per common share. Our net tangible book value as of June 30, 2023 was approximately $4.5 million, or approximately $0.66 per share. Net tangible assets per share represents our total tangible assets less total tangible liabilities, divided by the number of common shares outstanding as of June 30, 2023.
Dilution in net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the offering price per share paid by purchasers in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of our common shares immediately after this offering. After giving effect to the sale by us of shares in this offering at an offering price of $2.00 per common share, after deducting the placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our net tangible book value as of June 30, 2023 would have been approximately $6.8 million, or approximately $0.83 per common share. This represents an immediate increase of $0.17 in net tangible book value per share to our existing shareholders and an immediate dilution of $1.17 per share to purchasers of securities in this offering. The following table illustrates this per share dilution:
Offering price per share | | $ | 2.00 |
Net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2023 | | $ | 0.66 |
Increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to new investors | | $ | 0.17 |
Adjusted net tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2023, after giving effect to the offering | | $ | 0.83 |
Dilution per share to new investors in the offering | | $ | 1.17 |
The above discussion and tables do not include the following:
- Approximately 220,000 options held by our employees, directors and certain consultants to purchase common shares under the Company’s Option Plan at a weighted average exercise price of $36.79 per share, of which approximately 203,000 options were exercisable as of June 30, 2023, at a weighted average exercise price of $38.86 per share;
- Common shares issuable upon the exercise of approximately 960,000 warrants outstanding as of June 30, 2023 at a weighted average exercise price of $24.84 per share;
- 1,369,000 common shares issuable upon exercise of the investor warrants in the concurrent private placement at an exercise price of $2.50 per share; and
- 54,760 common shares issuable upon exercise of the placement agent warrants at an exercise price of $2.39 per share.

The placement agent warrants will be on or after the 181st day immediately following the issuance date exercisable and may be exercised until the fifth anniversary of the issuance date. The exercise price and number of common shares issuable upon exercise is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting common shares. The placement agent warrants will be issued separately from the common shares offered hereby and may be transferred separately immediately thereafter, subject to FINRA Rule 5110(g). The placement agent warrants will be issued in certificated form only.
Exercisability
The placement agent warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of common shares purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise as discussed below). Unless otherwise specified in the placement agent warrants, the holder will not have the right to exercise the placement agent warrants, in whole or in part, if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% or 9.99%, as applicable, of the number of our common shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage is determined in accordance with the terms of the placement agent warrants (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”).
Cashless Exercise
If, at the time a holder exercises its placement agent warrants, a registration statement registering the issuance of common shares underlying the placement agent warrants under the Securities Act is not then effective or available for the issuance of such shares, then in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of common shares determined according to a formula set forth in the placement agent warrant.
Fundamental Transactions
In the event of any fundamental transaction, as described in the placement agent warrants and generally including any merger with or into another entity, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, tender offer or exchange offer, or reclassification of common shares, upon any subsequent exercise of a placement agent warrant, the holder will have the right to receive as alternative consideration, for each common share that the holder would have received upon such holder’s exercise of the placement agent warrant into common shares (without giving effect to any limitation as a result of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately prior to the occurrence of such fundamental transaction, the number of common shares of the successor or acquiring corporation or of our company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration receivable upon or as a result of such transaction by a holder of the number of common shares for which the holder would have received upon such holder’s exercise of the placement agent warrant into common shares (without giving effect to any limitation as a result of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately prior to the occurrence of such fundamental transaction. In addition, in certain circumstances, upon a fundamental transaction, the holder will have the right to require us to repurchase their warrants at their fair value using the Black Scholes option pricing formula.
Transferability
The placement agent warrants will not be transferable for 180 days from the date of effectiveness or the commencement of sales of this offering, except in certain circumstances described in the placement agent warrants. Following such period, subject to applicable laws and a standard legend with regard to restriction on transfer only in compliance with a public offering or an available exemption therefrom, the placement agent warrants may be transferred at the option of the holder upon surrender of a placement agent warrant to us together with the appropriate instruments of transfer.
Right as a Shareholder
Except as otherwise provided in the placement agent warrants or by virtue of the holder’s ownership of common shares, such holder of placement agent warrants does not have the rights or privileges of a holder of common shares, including any voting rights, until such holder exercises such holder’s placement agent warrants.
Waivers and Amendments
No term of the placement agent warrants may be amended or waived without the written consent of the holder of such warrant.
Amendment to December 2022 and November 2021 Common Share Purchase Warrants

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We have engaged A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (“A.G.P.” or the “placement agent”) to act as our exclusive placement agent in connection with this offering of our securities pursuant to this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus. Under the terms of the engagement agreement, the placement agent has agreed to be our exclusive placement agent, on a reasonable best efforts basis, in connection with the issuance and sale by us of the securities in this takedown from our shelf registration statement. The terms of this offering were subject to market conditions and negotiations between us, the placement agent and the investors. The engagement agreement does not give rise to any commitment by the placement agent to purchase any of our securities, and the placement agent will have no authority to bind us by virtue of the engagement agreement. Further, the placement agent does not guarantee that it will be able to raise new capital in any prospective offering. The placement agent may engage sub-agents or selected dealers to assist with the offering.
The placement agent proposes to arrange for the sale of the shares we are offering pursuant to this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus and in the concurrent private placement to one or more investors through a securities purchase agreement directly between the investors and us. We will only sell to investors who have entered into the securities purchase agreement.
We expect to deliver the securities being offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement on or about September 21, 2023, subject to satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions.
Fees and Expenses
We have agreed to pay the placement agent a total cash fee equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds of this offering and the concurrent private placement. We will also reimburse the placement agent for legal fees and other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the offering up to $75,000, as well as for non-accountable expenses of $15,000.
We estimate the total expenses payable by us for this offering will be approximately $500,000, which amount includes the placement agent fees (excluding fees payable on any warrant exercises) and expenses.
Placement Agent’s Warrants
We have agreed to issue to A.G.P. placement agent warrants to purchase up to 54,760 common shares, representing 4.0% of the aggregate number of common shares sold in this offering. The placement agent warrants will have an exercise price equal to $2.39, and will be exercisable on or after the 181st day immediately following the issuance date and may be exercised for five years from the issuance date. Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(g), the placement agent warrants and any common shares issued upon exercise of the placement agent warrants shall not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of effectiveness or commencement of sales of this offering, except the transfer of any security: (i) by operation of law or by reason of our reorganization; (ii) to any FINRA member firm participating in the offering and the officers or partners thereof, if all securities so transferred remain subject to the lock-up restriction set forth above for the remainder of the time period; (iii) if the aggregate amount of our securities held by the placement agent or related persons do not exceed 1% of the securities being offered; (iv) that is beneficially owned on a pro-rata basis by all equity owners of an investment fund, provided that no participating member manages or otherwise directs investments by the fund and the participating members in the aggregate do not own more than 10% of the equity in the fund; or (v) the exercise or conversion of any security, if all securities remain subject to the lock-up restriction set forth above for the remainder of the time period.
Lock-up Restrictions
Pursuant to the securities purchase agreement with the investors, we have agreed that, for a period of 90 days following the closing of this offering, subject to certain exceptions, we will not issue, enter into an agreement to issue or announce the issuance or proposed issuance of our common shares or common shares equivalents.
Indemnification
We have agreed to indemnify the placement agent and specified other persons against certain liabilities relating to or arising out of the placement agent’s activities under the engagement agreement and to contribute to payments that the placement agent may be required to make in respect of such liabilities.
Regulation M
The placement agent may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by it and any profit realized on the resale of the securities sold by it while acting as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. As an underwriter, the placement agent would be required to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act and Rule 10b-5 and Regulation M under the Exchange Act. These rules and regulations may limit the timing of purchases and sales of common shares and warrants by the placement agent acting as principal. Under these rules and regulations, the placement agent:
- may not engage in any stabilization activity in connection with our securities; and
- may not bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities,
other than as permitted under the Exchange Act, until it has completed its participation in the distribution.
Other Relationships
The placement agent and its respective affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment banking and other commercial dealings in the common course of business with us or our affiliates. The placement agent has received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions for these transactions.

In a concurrent private placement, we are selling to the same investors unregistered warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,369,000 common shares, and issuing warrants to purchase up to 54,760 common shares to A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners. For each common share sold pursuant to this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus, an accompanying investor warrant will be issued to the purchaser thereof. Each investor warrant will be exercisable for one common share at an exercise price of $2.50 per share, will be exercisable following the six-month anniversary of the issuance date and will expire on the date that is five and one-half years following the issuance date. The placement agent warrants will be exercisable on or after the 181st day following the issuance date and may be exercised until the fifth anniversary of the issuance date. The shares offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the investor warrants offered in the concurrent private placement are being offered at combined public offering price of $2.00 per share and accompanying investor warrant.
The investor warrants, placement agent warrants, and shares issuable upon the exercise of the investor warrants are not being registered under the Securities Act, nor are they being offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and base prospectus. The investor warrants, placement agent warrants, and underlying shares are being offered pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) promulgated thereunder.
Accordingly, the investors in the concurrent private placement and the placement agent may sell the investor warrants and placement agent warrants and exercise the investor warrants and placement agent warrants and sell the underlying shares only pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the resale of those shares, an exemption under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or another applicable exemption under the Securities Act or, if and only if there is no effective registration statement registering the resale of the underlying shares, or no current prospectus available for such shares, the investors may exercise the investor warrants or the placement agent may exercise thri placement agent warrants by means of a “cashless exercise.”
In the event of any fundamental transaction, as described in the investor warrants and placement agent warrants and generally including any merger with or into another entity, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, tender offer or exchange offer, or reclassification of common shares, upon any subsequent exercise of an investor warrant or placement agent warrant, the holder will have the right to receive as alternative consideration, for each common share that the holder would have received upon such holder’s exercise of the investor warrant or placement agent warrant into common shares (without giving effect to any limitation as a result of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately prior to the occurrence of such fundamental transaction, the number of common shares of the successor or acquiring corporation or of our company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration receivable upon or as a result of such transaction by a holder of the number of common shares for which the holder would have received upon such holder’s exercise of the investor warrant or placement agent warrant into common shares (without giving effect to any limitation as a result of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately prior to the occurrence of such fundamental transaction. In addition, in certain circumstances, upon a fundamental transaction, the holder will have the right to require us to repurchase their warrants at their fair value using the Black Scholes option pricing formula.
Each purchaser will be an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act.
Except as otherwise provided in the investor warrants and placement agent warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of our common shares, the holders of the investor warrants and placement agent warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of our common shares, including any voting rights, until they exercise their investor warrants or placement agent warrants, as applicable.
The investor warrants and placement agent warrants are not and will not be listed for trading on any national securities exchange.
As part of the concurrent private placement, we have agreed to register for resale the shares issuable upon exercise of the investor warrants and the placement agent warrants sold in the concurrent private placement.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities involves risks. Before deciding whether to purchase our securities, you should carefully consider the risk factors incorporated by reference from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the "2022 Annual Report") filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023, as amended on April 28, 2023, under the heading "Item 1A.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other U.S. Federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements may include projections and estimates concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, financial condition, business strategies and plans, market opportunity, competitive position, industry environment, and potential growth opportunities. In some cases, you can identify forward- looking statements by terms such as "may", "will", "should", "believe", "expect", "could", "intend", "plan", "anticipate", "estimate", "continue", "predict", "project", "potential", "target," "goal" or other words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, because forward-looking statements relate to matters that have not yet occurred, they are inherently subject to significant business, competitive, economic, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. These and other important factors, including, among others, those discussed under the heading "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our 2022 Annual Report, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus, may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this prospectus. Some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements include:
• Our limited operating history and net losses;
• changes in cannabis laws, regulations and guidelines;
• decrease in demand for cannabis and derivative products due to certain research findings, proceedings, or negative media attention;
• damage to our reputation as a result of negative publicity;
• exposure to product liability claims, actions and litigation;
• risks associated with product recalls;
• product viability;
• continuing research and development efforts to respond to technological and regulatory changes;
• shelf life of inventory;
• our ability to successfully integrate businesses that we acquire;
• maintenance of effective quality control systems;
• changes to energy prices and supply;
• risks associated with expansion into new jurisdictions;
• regulatory compliance risks;
• opposition to the cannabinoid industry;
• unpredictable events, such as the COVID-19 outbreak, and associated business disruptions;
• risks related to our operations in Colombia, including the closing of the sale thereof; and
• potential delisting resulting in reduced liquidity of our common shares.
Given the foregoing risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements in this prospectus. The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus are not guarantees of future performance and our actual results of operations and financial condition may differ materially from such forward- looking statements. In addition, even if our results of operations and financial condition are consistent with the forward-looking statements in this prospectus, they may not be predictive of results or developments in future periods. Any forward-looking statement that we make in this prospectus speaks only as of the date of this prospectus. Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise, or to publicly announce any update or revision to, any of the forward-looking statements in this prospectus, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date of this prospectus.

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS
General
We may issue warrants to purchase our common shares. The warrants may be issued independently or together with common shares offered by this prospectus and may be attached to or separate from those common shares.
While the terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any warrants we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any warrants that we may offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of any warrants we offer under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms we describe below, and you should refer to the applicable prospectus supplement for the specific terms of any warrants that we offer.
We may issue the warrants under a warrant agreement, which we will enter into with a warrant agent to be selected by us. Each warrant agent will act solely as our agent under the applicable warrant agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any holder of any warrant. A single bank or trust company may act as warrant agent for more than one issue of warrants. A warrant agent will have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by us under the applicable warrant agreement or warrant, including any duty or responsibility to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise, or to make any demand upon us. Any holder of a warrant may, without the consent of the related warrant agent or the holder of any other warrant, enforce by appropriate legal action its right to exercise, and receive the common shares purchasable upon exercise of, its warrants.
We may issue warrants in such numerous distinct series as we determine.
We will incorporate by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part the form of warrant agreement, including a form of warrant certificate, that describes the terms of the series of warrants we are offering before the issuance of the related series of warrants. The following summaries of material provisions of the warrants and the warrant agreements are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the warrant agreement applicable to a particular series of warrants. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplements related to the warrants that we sell under this prospectus, as well as the complete warrant agreements that contain the terms of the warrants.
We will set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the warrants in respect of which this prospectus is being delivered, including, when applicable, the following:
• the title of the warrants;
• the aggregate number of the warrants;
• the price or prices at which the warrants will be issued;
• the designation, number, and terms of common shares purchasable upon exercise of the warrants;
• the date, if any, on and after which the warrants and the related common shares will be separately transferable;
• the price at which each common share purchasable upon exercise of the warrants may be purchased;
• the date on which the right to exercise the warrants will commence and the date on which such right will expire;
• the minimum or maximum amount of the warrants that may be exercised at any one time;
• any information with respect to book-entry procedures;
• the effect of any merger, consolidation, sale, or other disposition of our business on the warrant agreement and the warrants;
• any other terms of the warrants, including terms, procedures, and limitations relating to the transferability, exchange, and exercise of such warrants;
• the terms of any rights to redeem or call, or accelerate the expiration of, the warrants;
• the date on which the right to exercise the warrants begins and the date on which that right expires;
• the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding or exercising the warrants; and
• any other specific terms, preferences, rights, or limitations of, or restrictions on, the warrants.
Unless specified in an applicable prospectus supplement, warrants will be in registered form only.
A holder of warrant certificates may exchange them for new certificates of different denominations, present them for registration of transfer, and exercise them at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement. Until any warrants are exercised, holders of the warrants will not have any rights of holders of the underlying common shares, including any rights to receive dividends or to exercise any voting rights, except to the extent set forth under the heading "Warrant Adjustments" below.
Exercise of Warrants
Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase for cash common shares at the applicable exercise price set forth in, or determined as described in, the applicable prospectus supplement. If we so indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the warrants may surrender securities as all or a part of the exercise price for the warrants. Warrants may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date of the warrants, as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised warrants will become void.
Warrants may be exercised by delivering to the corporation trust office of the warrant agent or any other officer indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement (a) the warrant certificate properly completed and duly executed and (b) payment of the amount due upon exercise. As soon as practicable following exercise, we will issue the underlying common shares subject to such exercise to the applicable warrant holder. If less than all of the warrants represented by a warrant certificate are exercised, a new warrant certificate will be issued for the remaining warrants.
Amendments and Supplements to the Warrant Agreements
We may amend or supplement a warrant agreement without the consent of the holders of the applicable warrants to cure ambiguities in the warrant agreement, to cure or correct a defective provision in the warrant agreement, or to provide for other matters under the warrant agreement that we and the warrant agent deem necessary or desirable, so long as, in each case, such amendments or supplements do not materially and adversely affect the interests of the holders of the warrants.
Warrant Adjustments
Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, the exercise price of, and the number of common shares covered by, a warrant will be adjusted proportionately if we subdivide or combine our common shares. In addition, unless the prospectus supplement states otherwise, if we, without payment:
• issue capital stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for common shares, or any rights to subscribe for, purchase, or otherwise acquire common shares, as a dividend or distribution to holders of our common shares;
• pay any cash to holders of our common shares other than a cash dividend paid out of our current or retained earnings;
• issue any evidence of our indebtedness or rights to subscribe for or purchase our indebtedness to holders of our common shares; or
• issue common shares or additional stock or other securities or property to holders of our common shares by way of spinoff, split-up, reclassification, combination of shares, or similar corporate rearrangement,
then the holders of warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the warrants, in addition to the common shares otherwise receivable upon exercise of the warrants and without paying any additional consideration, the amount of stock and other securities and property such holders would have been entitled to receive had they held the common shares issuable under the warrants on the dates on which holders of those securities received or became entitled to receive such additional stock and other securities and property.
Except as stated above, the exercise price and number of securities covered by a warrant, and the amounts of other securities or property to be received, if any, upon exercise of those warrants, will not be adjusted or provided for if we issue those securities or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for those securities, or securities carrying the right to purchase those securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable for those securities.
Holders of warrants may have additional rights under the following circumstances:
• certain reclassifications, capital reorganizations, or changes of the common shares;
• certain share exchanges, mergers, or similar transactions involving us and which result in changes of the common shares; or
• certain sales or dispositions to another entity of all or substantially all of our property and assets.
If one of the above transactions occurs and holders of our common shares are entitled to receive stock, securities, or other property with respect to or in exchange for their common shares, the holders of the warrants then outstanding, as applicable, will be entitled to receive upon exercise of their warrants the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities or property that they would have received upon the applicable transaction if they had exercised their warrants immediately before the transaction.
DESCRIPTION OF UNITS
The following description, together with the additional information we include in any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes the material terms and provisions of the units that we may offer under this prospectus. Units may be offered independently or together with common shares and warrants offered by any prospectus supplement, and may be attached to or separate from those securities. While the terms we have summarized below will generally apply to any units that we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any series of units that we may offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of any units offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below, and you should refer to the applicable prospectus supplement for the specific terms of any units that we offer.
We will incorporate by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part the form of unit agreement, including a form of unit certificate, if any, that describes the terms of the series of units we are offering before the issuance of the related series of units. The following summaries of material provisions of the units and the unit agreements are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the unit agreement applicable to a particular series of units. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplements related to the units that we sell under this prospectus, as well as the complete unit agreements that contain the terms of the units.
General
We may issue units consisting of common shares and warrants. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each security included in the unit. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit are immediately separable or otherwise may not be held or transferred separately, at any time, or at any time before a specified date.
We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the series of units, including the following:
• the designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances those securities may be held or transferred separately;
• any provisions of the governing unit agreement that differ from those described below; and
• any provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer, or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units.
The provisions described in this section, as well as those described under "Description of Common Shares" and "Description of Warrants," will apply to each unit and to any common share or warrant included in each unit, respectively.
Issuance in Series
We may issue units in such amounts and in such numerous distinct series as we determine.
Enforceability of Rights by Holders of Units
Each unit agent, if any, will act solely as our agent under the applicable unit agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any holder of any unit. A single bank or trust company may act as unit agent for more than one series of units. A unit agent will have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by us under the applicable unit agreement or unit, including any duty or responsibility to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise, or to make any demand upon us. Any holder of a unit, without the consent of the related unit agent or the holder of any other unit, may enforce by appropriate legal action its rights as holder under any security included in the unit.
Title
We, the unit agent, and any of their agents may treat the registered holder of any unit certificate as an absolute owner of the units evidenced by that certificate for any purposes and as the person entitled to exercise the rights attaching to the units so requested, despite any notice to the contrary.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
We may sell the securities offered hereby from time to time pursuant to underwritten public offerings, negotiated transactions, block trades or a combination of these methods. We may sell the securities (1) through underwriters or dealers, (2) through agents and/or (3) directly to one or more purchasers. We may distribute the securities from time to time in one or more transactions:
• at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed;
• at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;
• at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or
• at negotiated prices.
We may directly solicit offers to purchase the securities being offered by this prospectus. We may also designate agents to solicit offers to purchase the securities from time to time. We will name in a prospectus supplement any agent involved in the offer or sale of our securities.
If we utilize a dealer in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, we will sell the securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale.
If we utilize an underwriter in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, we will execute an underwriting agreement with the underwriter at the time of sale and provide the name of any underwriter in the prospectus supplement that the underwriter will use to make resales of the securities to the public. In connection with the sale of the securities, we, or the purchasers of securities for whom the underwriter may act as agent, may compensate the underwriter in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions. The underwriter may sell the securities to or through dealers, and the underwriter may compensate those dealers in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions.
We will provide in the applicable prospectus supplement any compensation we pay to underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering of the securities, and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers. Underwriters, dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and any discounts and commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions. We may enter into agreements to indemnify underwriters, dealers and agents against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments they may be required to make in respect thereof.
An underwriter may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, short covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with applicable securities laws. Over-allotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which creates a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bidders to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Short covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution is completed to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the prices of the securities to be higher than they would otherwise be. The underwriters may engage in these activities on any exchange or other market in which the securities may be traded. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue these activities at any time. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.
The underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with us, or perform services for us, in the ordinary course of business.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the securities offered hereby will be passed upon for us by Miller Thompson LLP.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
We are a corporation organized under the laws of the Province of Ontario.

There is doubt as to the enforceability in Canada, either in original actions or in actions for enforcement of judgments of U.S. courts, of civil liabilities predicated solely on the federal securities laws of the United States or the securities laws of any state of the United States.
