Each Subscription Receipt will be automatically exchanged, without additional consideration on the exchange date for one Unit of the company.
Each Unit consists of one share of common stock of the company and one half of one common stock purchase warrant. Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one additional share of common stock of the company for a period of 24 months following the closing of the offering for US $1.75 per share of common stock.
