The Interested Persons are each considered a “related party” of PureGold and the sale of the Units under the Offering to the Interested Persons constitutes a “related party transaction” within the meaning of MI 61-101– Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions .
The Offering is expected to close on or about May 13, 2022 and is subject to certain conditions including receipt of all applicable regulatory approvals including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. There is no certainty that the Offering will close. The securities to be issued under the Offering will be issued on a private placement basis and will have a hold period of four months and one day from the applicable closing date in accordance with applicable securities laws.
