In connection with the LIFE Offering, the Company paid an aggregate cash finder's fee of $1,500 to an eligible finder, equal to 6% of the cash proceeds raised from subscribers introduced by such finder, in accordance with applicable securities laws and Canadian Securities Exchange requirements. Certain insiders of the Company participated in the LIFE Offering for an aggregate of 1,319,000 HD Shares for aggregate proceeds of $131,900.

The Company did not file a material change report with respect to the insider participation more than 21 days before the expected closing of the LIFE Offering, as the details and amounts of the insider participation were not finalized until shortly prior to closing and the Company wished to close the transaction as soon as practicable for sound business reasons.
