Dr. Carman plans to maintain his remaining holdings in Tinka for investment purposes and may, in the future, take such actions in respect to his holdings as he deems appropriate in light of circumstances then existing. Any additional acquisitions or dispositions by Dr. Carman will be reported in accordance with National Instrument 55 – 104.
The Company also announces it has cancelled a total of 500,000 incentive stock options that were originally granted on August 28, 2017, at an exercise price of $0.65 per common share, to a director of the Company. The cancelled stock options were voluntarily surrendered by the director for no consideration.
