Order of importance, starting with the
most important, the main risks of investing in the issuer's
business for the purchasers:
Investment in the Special Share Warrants is highly speculative given the proposed nature of the Issuer’s business and its present stage of development. The following are risk factors associated with the Issuer, but are not intended to be all inclusive: (a) The Issuer was only recently incorporated, has not commenced commercial operations, and has no assets other than cash. It has no history of earnings and will not generate earnings or pay dividends in the near future. (b) Investment in the Special Share Warrants is highly speculative given the proposed nature of the Issuer’s business and its present stage of development. (c) The directors and officers of the Issuer will only devote a portion of their time to the business and affairs of the Issuer and some of them are or will be engaged in other projects or businesses such that conflicts of interest may arise from time to time. (d) There can be no assurance that the Issuer will be successful in filing a prospectus, in which case the Special Share Warrants will have no economic value. The Special Share Warrants are subject to an indefinite hold period and the investor may have no ability to sell its Special Share Warrants. (e) If the Special Share Warrants are converted to common shares, there can be no assurance that an active and liquid market for the Issuer’s common shares will develop and an investor may find it difficult to resell its common shares. (f) Any transaction may be financed in all or part by the issuance of additional securities by the Issuer and this may result in dilution to the investor, which dilution may be significant and which may also result in a change of control of the Issuer. As a result of these factors, an investment in the Special Share Warrants is only suitable for those investors who are willing to rely solely on the management of the Issuer and who can afford to lose their entire investment. Those investors who are not prepared to do so should not invest in the Special Share Warrants.
