("DMG") and the Company have engaged Canaccord Genuity Corp. (the "Canaccord") to act as lead agent and sole bookrunner, on its own behalf and on behalf of a syndicate of agents, who have agreed to sell on a commercially reasonable efforts basis through private placement subscription receipts (each, a "Subscription Receipt") at a price of C$0.80 per Subscription Receipt, subject to the approval by the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"), for gross proceeds up to C$10,000,000 (the "Offering"). The Offering is being completed in connection with the proposed qualifying transaction (the "Transaction") between AIM and DMG.  The Company and DMG have also granted Canaccord an option to increase the Offering by up to an additional fifteen percent (15%) at any time up to forty-eight (48) hours prior to the Closing Date (as defined below).
