Item 3.02 |
Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities.

On February 19, 2013, we issued an aggregate of 2,224,499 units
(each a Unit) pursuant to private placement to 12 individuals/entities at a
price of CAD$0.18 per Unit for total gross proceeds of CAD$400,499.82. Each Unit
consists of one common share and one-half of one common share purchase warrant
(each a Warrant). Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one
additional common share (each a Warrant Share) at a price of CAD$0.25 per
Warrant Share for a period of five years expiring on February 19, 2018. In
connection with this private placement we paid a cash finders fee of CAD$315
and 1,750 common share purchase warrants (each a Finders Warrant) to and
entity in British Columbia, Canada, a cash finders fee of CAD$6,300 to an
entity in Florida, and a cash finders fee of CAD$1,399.86 and 7,777 Finders
Warrants to and entity in Lancashire, U.K. The Finders Warrants have the same
terms as the Warrants. We relied on exemptions from registration under the U.S.
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the U.S. Securities Act) provided by Rule
506 of Regulation D and/or Section 4(2) for US purchasers as well as Regulation
S for Canadian and offshore purchasers, based on representations and warranties
provided by the purchasers of the Units in their respective subscription
agreements entered into between us and each purchaser.
Concurrently, on February 19, 2013, we issued an aggregate of
US$5,305,540 in convertible debentures (each a Debenture and collectively, the
Debentures) having a term until February 19, 2014 (the Maturity Date) and an
interest rate of 15% per annum which shall accrue and be payable on the earlier
of the Maturity Date or the date the entire principal amount of each Debenture
is converted. The principal amount of the Debentures is convertible into shares
of our common stock at the option of the holder, in whole or in part, at a price
of US$0.19 (the Conversion Price) per share until the Maturity Date. The
Conversion Price of the shares of common stock underlying each Debenture is
subject to adjustment upon a reclassification or other change in our outstanding
common stock and certain distributions to all holders of our common stock. In
addition, each holder of a Debenture received five common share purchase
warrants (each a Warrant) for each US$1.00 of principal amount of Debenture,
entitling the holder to acquire one share of our common stock for each Warrant
at an exercise price of US$0.19 per share for a period of one year from the date
of issuance. The Debentures are secured by a first ranking floating charge
security on all of our assets. In connection with this private placement of
Debentures, we paid a cash finders fee of US$54,600 to an entity in New York, a
cash finders fee of US$2,197.86 and 11,567 common share purchase warrants (each
a Finders Warrant) to an entity in British Columbia, Canada, and a cash
finders fee of US$17,159.94 and 90,315 Finders Warrants to an entity in
Lancashire, U.K. The Finders Warrants have the same terms as the Warrants. We relied on
exemptions from registration under the U.S. Securities Act provided by Rule 506
of Regulation D and/or Section 4(2) for US investors as well as Regulation S for
Canadian and offshore investors, based on representations and warranties
provided by the investors in the Debentures in their respective subscription
agreements entered into between us and each investor.
