The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to build out its Indian operations, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The Offering is expected to close on or about November 17^th, 2022 and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV").
