Max Mind owns 14.1% of the outstanding shares of the Company and the sale transaction was considered to be a “related party transaction” under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (the “Rule”) and TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 (the “Policy”).
