As of January 31, 2013, the Company has 125,910,402 warrants with a current exercise price of $0.03 and an expiry date of March 31, 2016, 6,041,893 warrants with a current exercise price of $0.03 and an expiry date of July 11, 2016, 27,272,720 warrants with a current exercise price of $0.03 and an expiry date of September 30, 2016, 7,524,145 warrants with a current exercise price of $0.03 and an expiry date of February 2, 2017, 24,565,367 warrants with a current exercise price of $0.03 and an expiry date of August 10, 2017 and 24,999,999 warrants with a current exercise price of $0.03 and an expiry date of December 10, 2017 (216,314,526 warrants in total), which have price protection provisions that allow for the reduction in the current exercise price upon the occurrence of certain events, including the Company’s issuance of common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, such as options and warrants, at a price per share less than the exercise price then in effect. For instance, if the Company issues shares of its common stock or options exercisable for or securities convertible into common stock at an effective price per share of common stock less than the exercise price then in effect, the exercise price will be reduced to the effective price of the new issuance. Simultaneously with any reduction to the exercise price, the number of shares of common stock that may be purchased upon exercise of each of these warrants shall be increased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate exercise price payable for the adjusted number of warrants shall be the same as the aggregate exercise price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.
