The placement agent warrants will have the same terms as the investor warrants except that the exercise price will be $0.44 per common share (which represents 110% of the offering price per common share sold in this offering).The common shares underlying the investor warrants and placement agent warrants are also being offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement.

 

Our common shares are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “FLGC.”  The last reported sale price of our common shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market on December 8, 2022 was $0.44 per share.

 

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined under the U.S. federal securities laws and, as such, have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements.

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk.  See the risks described in the “Risk Factors” section on page S-4 of this prospectus supplement, and in the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, respectively.

 

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus.  Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

 

We have retained A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (the “placement agent” or “A.G.P.”) to act as our exclusive placement agent. The placement agent has agreed to use its “reasonable best efforts” to arrange for the sale of the securities offered by this prospectus supplement. The placement agent has no obligation to buy any of the securities from us or to arrange for the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of the securities.

Our Company

 

Overview

 

We are an all-outdoor cultivator and manufacturer of global cannabis products and brands, building a connected, design-led collective of plant-based wellness and lifestyle brands. As the operator of an extensive outdoor cannabis cultivation facility, Flora leverages natural, cost-effective cultivation practices to supply cannabis derivatives to its diverse business units. The foundation of our business strategy is built on three core pillars: commercial/wholesale, house of brands, and life sciences. Below is a brief summary of these three key pillars:

 

Commercial & Wholesale

 

The Commercial and Wholesale pillar encompasses our cultivation, extraction, manufacturing and distribution of cannabis, its derivatives, plant-based extracts, and white-label or custom formulations with the intent to supply both domestic and international markets for both internal and third-party applications. This business is supported by existing cultivation on 249 acres and onsite laboratory facilities in Bucaramanga, Colombia, together with two manufacturing and processing laboratories in Bogotá, Colombia and one in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

 

House of Brands

 

Flora’s “House of Brands” consists of a connected ecosystem of wellness and lifestyle consumer packaged goods that are designed to deliver unique experiences to its customers. These brands consist of a mix of products across multiple categories including food and beverage, nutraceuticals, cannabis accessories and technology, personal care, and pet wellness, that allow us to gain meaningful access to global markets. This brand strategy allows the Company to collect customer data through first-party relationships via each brand, creating an opportunity for customer acquisition, cross-promotion, consumer insights, and a database of opted-in consumers for new brand and product development opportunities.

 

Our House of Brands includes: 

  

 

·

JustCBD / Wellness, CBD

 

·

Vessel / Consumer Accessories & Technology

 

·

Mind Naturals / Personal Care (Skincare)

 

·

Mambe / Food & Beverage

 

·

Stardog / Lifestyle

 

·

Kalaya / Medical-OTC

Life Sciences

 

Flora’s Life Sciences pillar is focused on providing scientific-based research connected to molecules found in the cannabis plant. Through the Life Sciences pillar, the Company works to create education platforms as well as to initiate research studies, clinical trials, and the development of plant-based, medical-grade pharmaceuticals, phytotherapeutics, and dietary supplements for use in target and broad-based use cases leveraging multiple modalities. We are currently working on a study in conjunction with the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom to assess the benefits of a proprietary CBD formulation on patients suffering from fibromyalgia and pain-related illnesses. Additionally, Flora is seeking approval from INVIMA, Colombia’s equivalent to the FDA, for a patent-pending cannabinoid formulation for use as medicine.

 

Recent Developments

 

Arrangement Agreement to Acquire Franchise Global Health Inc.

 

On October 21, 2022, Flora and Franchise Global Health Inc., a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (“Franchise”) entered into an Arrangement Agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) pursuant to which Flora intends to acquire all the issued and outstanding common shares of Franchise by way of a statutory plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).  As consideration for the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding Franchise common shares, at the completion of the Arrangement, Flora will issue between 36,515,060 and 43,525,951 of its common shares, based upon a formula set forth in the Arrangement Agreement.  In accordance with the terms set forth in the Arrangement Agreement, upon the completion of the Arrangement, all Flora common shares to be delivered to the former shareholders of Franchise shall be restricted from being sold for a period of ninety (90) days following the completion of the Arrangement. Upon the completion of the Arrangement, Flora shall expand the size of its board of directors from seven to nine directors and Clifford Starke shall have the right to designate two individuals to serve on Flora’s board of directors.  It is anticipated that Clifford Starke will be one of such designees.

 

Completion of the Arrangement is subject to certain closing conditions customary for transactions of this nature including, among other things, approval of the Arrangement by the Supreme Court of British Columbia and the approval of at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast by shareholders of Franchise at a meeting of Franchise shareholders.  The preceding description of the Arrangement Agreement and Arrangement is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the summary, and complete text, of the Arrangement Agreement, which Flora has included and filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Report on Form 6-K filed with Securities and Exchange Commission on October 24, 2022, which is incorporated herein.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described below, the risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021, as amended, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, and under similar headings in our subsequently filed reports on Form 6-K, and other information contained in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, including our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes, as well as our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes, before you decide whether to purchase our securities. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and prospects could be materially and adversely affected. As a result, the trading price of our common shares could decline and you could lose all or part of your investment in our securities.

 

Risks Related to our Proposed Acquisition of Franchise

 

As previously disclosed, Flora has entered into Arrangement Agreement with Franchise pursuant to which Flora intends to acquire all the issued and outstanding common shares of Franchise by way of the Arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The Arrangement is subject to certain conditions that may be outside Flora’s control, including, without limitation, the receipt of the approval by the Supreme Court of British Columbia, the conditional approval by the Nasdaq Capital Market of the listing of the Flora Shares that may be issuable pursuant to the Arrangement, and the approval of at least 66 2/3% of the votes cast by shareholders of Franchise at a meeting of Franchise shareholders. There can be no certainty, nor can Flora provide any assurance, that these conditions will be satisfied or waived or, if satisfied or waived, when they will be satisfied or waived. If the Arrangement is not completed, the market price of our common shares may decline to the extent that the market price reflects a market assumption that the Arrangement will be completed.

 

Risks Related to this Offering and our Securities

 

The market price of our common shares has been, and may continue to be, volatile, and the value of your investment could decline significantly.

 

The trading price for our common shares has been, and we expect it to continue to be, volatile. The price at which our common shares trade depends upon a number of factors, including our historical and anticipated operating results, regulatory approvals, our financial condition, our ability or inability to raise the additional capital we may need and the terms on which we raise it, and general market and economic conditions, most of which are beyond our control. The foregoing factors, among others, may contribute to the volatility of the market price of our common shares, leading to broad market fluctuations that could lower the market price of our common shares, resulting in a loss of all or part of your investment in our common shares.

 

Management will have broad discretion as to the use of the net proceeds from this offering, and we may not use the proceeds effectively.

 

Our management will have broad discretion as to the application of the net proceeds from this offering and could use them for purposes other than those contemplated at the time of this offering, as described in “Use of Proceeds”. Our shareholders may not agree with the manner in which our management chooses to allocate and spend the net proceeds. Moreover, our management may use the net proceeds for corporate purposes that may not increase our market value.

 

We do not intend to pay dividends or other distributions to our stockholders.

 

We currently do not, and do not intend to, pay cash dividends on our common shares in the foreseeable future.  We expect that we will retain cash generated from operations, if any, for working capital purposes and to fund the continued expansion of our business. Moreover, future payment of dividends may be restricted by credit or other agreements to which we are a party.  Our stockholders may not be able to receive a return on their investment unless they sell our common shares.

 

 
S-4

Table of Contents

 

You will experience immediate and substantial dilution.

 

The offering price for the common shares offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement is substantially higher than the net tangible book value of each outstanding share of our common shares. Purchasers of common shares in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution on a book value basis. Following this offering, there will be an immediate increase in net tangible book value of approximately $0.03 per share to our existing shareholders, and an immediate dilution of $0.21 per share to investors purchasing shares in this offering, based on an offering price of $0.40 per common share and associated investor warrant, and after deducting the placement agent fees and other estimated offering expenses payable by us. If the holders of outstanding options or other securities convertible into our common shares exercise those options or other such securities at prices below the offering price, you will incur further dilution. Please see the section in the prospectus supplement entitled “Dilution” for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur in this offering.

 

Sales of a substantial number of our common shares, or the perception that such sales might occur, could adversely affect the trading price of our common shares.

   

As of September 30, 2022, we had 77,379,469 common shares outstanding, excluding common shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and shares that are issuable under our existing equity compensation plans as well as the common shares issuable to the shareholders of Franchise pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement. Sales of common shares underlying stock options, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our common shares. A decline in the price of our common shares might impede our ability to raise capital through the issuance of additional common shares or other equity securities and could result in a decline in the value of your investment in our common shares.

 

There is no public market for the warrants being offered in this offering.

 

There is no established public trading market for the warrants being offered in this offering, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply for listing of the warrants on any national securities exchange or other trading market. Without an active market, the liquidity of the investor warrants will be extremely limited.

 

Holders of our warrants will have no rights as an common shareholder until such holders exercise their warrants and acquire our common shares.

 

Until you acquire common shares upon exercise of your warrants, you will have no rights with respect to the common shares underlying such warrants, except as set forth in the warrants. Upon exercise of your warrants, you will be entitled to exercise the rights of a common shareholder only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise date.

 

The warrants may never have any value.

 

The investor warrants being sold in this offering have an exercise price of $0.40 per common share and the placement agent warrants have an exercise price of $0.44 per common share. The warrants will expire on the fifth anniversary from the issuance date. In the event our common share price does not exceed the per share exercise price of the investor warrants during the period when the warrants are exercisable, the warrants may not have any value.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

 

This prospectus supplement contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other U.S. Federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements may include projections and estimates concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, financial condition, business strategies and plans, market opportunity, competitive position, industry environment, and potential growth opportunities. In some cases, you can identify forward- looking statements by terms such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “believe”, “expect”, “could”, “intend”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “continue”, “predict”, “project”, “potential”, “target,” “goal” or other words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, because forward-looking statements relate to matters that have not yet occurred, they are inherently subject to significant business, competitive, economic, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. These and other important factors, including, among others, those discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this prospectus supplement. Some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements include:

 

 

·

our limited operating history and net losses;

 

·

unpredictable events, such as the COVID-19 outbreak, and associated business disruptions;

 

·

our ability to complete acquisitions and the successful integration of such acquisitions, including the Company’s contemplated acquisition of Franchise; changes in cannabis laws, regulations and guidelines;

 

·

decrease in demand for cannabis and derivative products due to certain research findings, proceedings, or negative media attention;

 

·

damage to our reputation as a result of negative publicity;

 

·

exposure to product liability claims, actions and litigation;

 

·

risks associated with product recalls;

 

·

product viability;

 

·

continuing research and development efforts to respond to technological and regulatory changes;

 

·

shelf life of inventory;

 

·

our ability to successfully close and integrate businesses that we acquire;

 

·

maintenance of effective quality control systems;

 

·

changes to energy prices and supply;

 

·

risks associated with expansion into new jurisdictions;

 

·

regulatory compliance risks;

 

·

opposition to the cannabinoid industry;

 

·

risks related to our operations in Colombia; and

 

·

potential delisting resulting in reduced liquidity of our common shares.

 

Given the foregoing risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements in this prospectus supplement. The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus supplement are not guarantees of future performance and our actual results of operations and financial condition may differ materially from such forward- looking statements. In addition, even if our results of operations and financial condition are consistent with the forward-looking statements in this prospectus supplement, they may not be predictive of results or developments in future periods.

 

Any forward-looking statement that we make in this prospectus supplement speaks only as of the date of this prospectus supplement. Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise, or to publicly announce any update or revision to, any of the forward-looking statements in this prospectus supplement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date of this prospectus supplement.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We estimate that the net proceeds to us from this offering of securities will be approximately $4.5 million, after deducting the placement agent fees and other estimated expenses relating to the offering.

 

We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for capital expenditures, to increase operating capacity, working capital and general corporate purposes. Our net proceeds will be utilized for certain capital expenditures and operating expenditures across all of our divisions. 

 

This expected use of the net proceeds from this offering represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions. Our management will have discretion in allocating the net proceeds in accordance with the above priorities and purposes.  The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend upon numerous factors, including the progress of our expansion and development efforts, whether or not we enter into strategic transactions, our general operating costs and expenditures, and the changing needs of our business.

DILUTION

 

If you invest in the securities being offered by this prospectus supplement, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per common share. Our net tangible deficit as of September 30, 2022 was approximately $12.7 million, or approximately $0.16 per share. Net tangible assets per share represents our total tangible assets less total tangible liabilities, divided by the number of common shares outstanding as of September 30, 2022.

 

Dilution in net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the offering price per share paid by purchasers in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of our common shares immediately after this offering. After giving effect to the sale by us of shares in this offering at an offering price of $0.40 per common share, after deducting the placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2022 would have been approximately $17.2 million, or approximately $0.19 per common share. This represents an immediate increase of $0.03 in net tangible book value per share to our existing shareholders and an immediate dilution of $0.21 per share to purchasers of securities in this offering. The following table illustrates this per share dilution:

Additionally, we urge you to review the form of investor warrant, which will be included as an exhibit to a report on Form 6-K filed with the SEC in connection with this offering and incorporated by reference herein, for a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to the investor warrants. The investor warrants will have the terms described under the caption “Investor Warrants” below.

 

This prospectus supplement also relates to the offering of the placement agent warrants to purchase up to 500,000 common shares (and the common shares issuable upon the exercise of the placement agent warrants). The placement agent warrants will have the terms described under the caption “Placement Agent Warrants” below. We urge you to review the form of placement agent warrant, which will be included as an exhibit to a report on Form 6-K filed with the SEC in connection with this offering and incorporated by reference herein, for a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to the placement agent warrants.

 

The following brief summary of the material terms and provisions of the investor warrants and the placement agent warrants is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by the form of investor warrants and form of placement agent warrant, respectively.

 

Common Shares

 

The material terms and provisions of our common shares are described under the heading “Description of Common Shares” starting on page 7 of the accompanying prospectus.

 

Investor Warrants

 

The material terms and provisions of the investor warrants are substantially the same as the placement agent warrants described immediately below under the heading “Placement Agent Warrants,” with the exception of the following terms:

 

 

·

The exercise price of the investor warrants is $0.40 per share;

 

·

Holders of investor warrants can elect to set the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (defined below) at 4.99% or 9.99%;

 

·

Holders of investor warrants are entitled to receive cash dividends or distribution or return of capital in the form of cash made to holders of common shares (as, if and when declared by our Board of Directors);

 

·

The investor warrants may be held in book-entry form; and

 

·

The investor warrants are immediately transferrable.

  

Placement Agent Warrants

 

We have also agreed to issue to the placement agent in the offering the placement agent warrants to purchase up to 500,000 common shares, which represent 4.0% of the aggregate number of common shares sold in this offering.

 

Duration and Exercise Price

 

Each placement agent warrant offered hereby will have an exercise price equal to $0.44 per common share, which represents 110% of the offering price per common share in this offering. The placement agent warrants will be immediately exercisable and may be exercised until the fifth  anniversary of the issuance date. The exercise price and number of common shares issuable upon exercise is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting common shares.

The placement agent warrants will be issued in certificated form only.

 

 
S-9

Table of Contents

 

Exercisability

 

The placement agent warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of common shares purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise as discussed below).  Unless otherwise specified in the placement agent warrants, the holder will not have the right to exercise the placement agent warrants, in whole or in part, if the holder (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of our common shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage is determined in accordance with the terms of the placement agent warrants (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”).

 

Cashless Exercise

 

If, at the time a holder exercises its placement agent warrants, a registration statement registering the issuance of common shares underlying the placement agent warrants under the Securities Act is not then effective or available for the issuance of such shares, then in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of common shares determined according to a formula set forth in the placement agent warrant.

 

Fundamental Transactions

 

In the event of any fundamental transaction, as described in the placement agent warrants and generally including any merger with or into another entity, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, tender offer or exchange offer, or reclassification of common shares, upon any subsequent exercise of a placement agent warrant, the holder will have the right to receive as alternative consideration, for each common share that the holder would have received upon such holder’s exercise of the placement agent warrant into common shares (without giving effect to any limitation as a result of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately prior to the occurrence of such fundamental transaction, the number of common shares of the successor or acquiring corporation or of our company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration receivable upon or as a result of such transaction by a holder of the number of common shares for which the holder would have received upon such holder’s exercise of the placement agent warrant into common shares (without giving effect to any limitation as a result of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately prior to the occurrence of such fundamental transaction. In addition, in certain circumstances, upon a fundamental transaction, the holder will have the right to require us to repurchase their warrants at their fair value using the Black Scholes option pricing formula.

 

Transferability

 

The placement agent warrants will not be transferable for 180 days from the date of effectiveness or the commencement of sales of this offering, except in certain circumstances described in the placement agent warrants. Following such period, subject to applicable laws and a standard legend with regard to restriction on transfer only in compliance with a public offering or an available exemption therefrom, the placement agent warrants may be transferred at the option of the holder upon surrender of a placement agent warrant to us together with the appropriate instruments of transfer.

 

Right as a Shareholder

 

Except as otherwise provided in the placement agent warrants or by virtue of the holder’s ownership of common shares, such holder of placement agent warrants does not have the rights or privileges of a holder of common shares, including any voting rights, until such holder exercises such holder’s placement agent warrants.

 

Waivers and Amendments

 

No term of the placement agent warrants may be amended or waived without the written consent of the holder of such warrant.

     

Amendment to November 2021 Common Share Purchase Warrants

 

In connection with the offering, the Company agreed to amend the terms of the common share purchase warrants previously issued to certain institutional investors participating in this offering in connection with the Company’s November 2021 public offering to reduce the exercise price of such warrants to $0.40.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other U.S. Federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements may include projections and estimates concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, financial condition, business strategies and plans, market opportunity, competitive position, industry environment, and potential growth opportunities. In some cases, you can identify forward- looking statements by terms such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “believe”, “expect”, “could”, “intend”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “continue”, “predict”, “project”, “potential”, “target,” “goal” or other words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, because forward-looking statements relate to matters that have not yet occurred, they are inherently subject to significant business, competitive, economic, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. These and other important factors, including, among others, those discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus, may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this prospectus. Some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements include:

 

 

·

Our limited operating history and net losses;

 

·

unpredictable events, such as the COVID-19 outbreak, and associated business disruptions;

 

·

changes in cannabis laws, regulations and guidelines;

 

·

decrease in demand for cannabis and derivative products due to certain research findings, proceedings, or negative media attention;

 

·

damage to our reputation as a result of negative publicity;

 

·

exposure to product liability claims, actions and litigation;

 

·

risks associated with product recalls;

 

·

product viability;

 

·

continuing research and development efforts to respond to technological and regulatory changes;

 

·

shelf life of inventory;

 

·

our ability to successfully integrate businesses that we acquire;

 

·

maintenance of effective quality control systems;

 

·

changes to energy prices and supply;

 

·

risks associated with expansion into new jurisdictions;

 

·

regulatory compliance risks;

 

·

opposition to the cannabinoid industry;

 

·

risks related to our operations in Colombia; and

 

·

potential delisting resulting in reduced liquidity of our common shares.

 

Given the foregoing risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements in this prospectus. The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus are not guarantees of future performance and our actual results of operations and financial condition may differ materially from such forward- looking statements. In addition, even if our results of operations and financial condition are consistent with the forward-looking statements in this prospectus, they may not be predictive of results or developments in future periods.

 

Any forward-looking statement that we make in this prospectus speaks only as of the date of this prospectus. Except as required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise, or to publicly announce any update or revision to, any of the forward-looking statements in this prospectus, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, after the date of this prospectus.

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

 

General

 

We may issue warrants to purchase our common shares. The warrants may be issued independently or together with common shares offered by this prospectus and may be attached to or separate from those common shares.

 

While the terms we have summarized below will apply generally to any warrants we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any warrants that we may offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of any warrants we offer under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms we describe below, and you should refer to the applicable prospectus supplement for the specific terms of any warrants that we offer.

 

We may issue the warrants under a warrant agreement, which we will enter into with a warrant agent to be selected by us. Each warrant agent will act solely as our agent under the applicable warrant agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any holder of any warrant. A single bank or trust company may act as warrant agent for more than one issue of warrants. A warrant agent will have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by us under the applicable warrant agreement or warrant, including any duty or responsibility to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise, or to make any demand upon us. Any holder of a warrant may, without the consent of the related warrant agent or the holder of any other warrant, enforce by appropriate legal action its right to exercise, and receive the common shares purchasable upon exercise of, its warrants.

 

We may issue warrants in such numerous distinct series as we determine.

 

We will incorporate by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part the form of warrant agreement, including a form of warrant certificate, that describes the terms of the series of warrants we are offering before the issuance of the related series of warrants. The following summaries of material provisions of the warrants and the warrant agreements are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the warrant agreement applicable to a particular series of warrants. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplements related to the warrants that we sell under this prospectus, as well as the complete warrant agreements that contain the terms of the warrants.

 

We will set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the warrants in respect of which this prospectus is being delivered, including, when applicable, the following:

 

 

·

the title of the warrants;

 

·

the aggregate number of the warrants;

 

·

the price or prices at which the warrants will be issued;

 

·

the designation, number, and terms of common shares purchasable upon exercise of the warrants;

 

·

the date, if any, on and after which the warrants and the related common shares will be separately transferable;

 

·

the price at which each common share purchasable upon exercise of the warrants may be purchased;

 

·

the date on which the right to exercise the warrants will commence and the date on which such right will expire;

 

·

the minimum or maximum amount of the warrants that may be exercised at any one time;

 

·

any information with respect to book-entry procedures;

 

·

the effect of any merger, consolidation, sale, or other disposition of our business on the warrant agreement and the warrants;

 

·

any other terms of the warrants, including terms, procedures, and limitations relating to the transferability, exchange, and exercise of such warrants;

 

·

the terms of any rights to redeem or call, or accelerate the expiration of, the warrants;

 

·

the date on which the right to exercise the warrants begins and the date on which that right expires;

 

·

the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding or exercising the warrants; and

 

·

any other specific terms, preferences, rights, or limitations of, or restrictions on, the warrants.

Table of Contents

 

Unless specified in an applicable prospectus supplement, warrants will be in registered form only.

 

A holder of warrant certificates may exchange them for new certificates of different denominations, present them for registration of transfer, and exercise them at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement. Until any warrants are exercised, holders of the warrants will not have any rights of holders of the underlying common shares, including any rights to receive dividends or to exercise any voting rights, except to the extent set forth under the heading “Warrant Adjustments” below.

 

Exercise of Warrants

 

Each warrant will entitle the holder to purchase for cash common shares at the applicable exercise price set forth in, or determined as described in, the applicable prospectus supplement. If we so indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, holders of the warrants may surrender securities as all or a part of the exercise price for the warrants. Warrants may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date of the warrants, as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised warrants will become void.

 

Warrants may be exercised by delivering to the corporation trust office of the warrant agent or any other officer indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement (a) the warrant certificate properly completed and duly executed and (b) payment of the amount due upon exercise. As soon as practicable following exercise, we will issue the underlying common shares subject to such exercise to the applicable warrantholder. If less than all of the warrants represented by a warrant certificate are exercised, a new warrant certificate will be issued for the remaining warrants.

 

Amendments and Supplements to the Warrant Agreements

 

We may amend or supplement a warrant agreement without the consent of the holders of the applicable warrants to cure ambiguities in the warrant agreement, to cure or correct a defective provision in the warrant agreement, or to provide for other matters under the warrant agreement that we and the warrant agent deem necessary or desirable, so long as, in each case, such amendments or supplements do not materially and adversely affect the interests of the holders of the warrants.

 

Warrant Adjustments

 

Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, the exercise price of, and the number of common shares covered by, a warrant will be adjusted proportionately if we subdivide or combine our common shares. In addition, unless the prospectus supplement states otherwise, if we, without payment:

 

 

·

issue capital stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for common shares, or any rights to subscribe for, purchase, or otherwise acquire common shares, as a dividend or distribution to holders of our common shares;

 

·

pay any cash to holders of our common shares other than a cash dividend paid out of our current or retained earnings;

 

·

issue any evidence of our indebtedness or rights to subscribe for or purchase our indebtedness to holders of our common shares; or

 

·

issue common shares or additional stock or other securities or property to holders of our common shares by way of spinoff, split-up, reclassification, combination of shares, or similar corporate rearrangement,

 

then the holders of warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the warrants, in addition to the common shares otherwise receivable upon exercise of the warrants and without paying any additional consideration, the amount of stock and other securities and property such holders would have been entitled to receive had they held the common shares issuable under the warrants on the dates on which holders of those securities received or became entitled to receive such additional stock and other securities and property.

 

 
10

Table of Contents

 

Except as stated above, the exercise price and number of securities covered by a warrant, and the amounts of other securities or property to be received, if any, upon exercise of those warrants, will not be adjusted or provided for if we issue those securities or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for those securities, or securities carrying the right to purchase those securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable for those securities.

 

Holders of warrants may have additional rights under the following circumstances:

 

 

·

certain reclassifications, capital reorganizations, or changes of the common shares;

 

·

certain share exchanges, mergers, or similar transactions involving us and which result in changes of the common shares; or

 

·

certain sales or dispositions to another entity of all or substantially all of our property and assets.

 

If one of the above transactions occurs and holders of our common shares are entitled to receive stock, securities, or other property with respect to or in exchange for their common shares, the holders of the warrants then outstanding, as applicable, will be entitled to receive upon exercise of their warrants the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities or property that they would have received upon the applicable transaction if they had exercised their warrants immediately before the transaction.

DESCRIPTION OF UNITS

 

The following description, together with the additional information we include in any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes the material terms and provisions of the units that we may offer under this prospectus. Units may be offered independently or together with common shares and warrants offered by any prospectus supplement, and may be attached to or separate from those securities. While the terms we have summarized below will generally apply to any units that we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any series of units that we may offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of any units offered under a prospectus supplement may differ from the terms described below, and you should refer to the applicable prospectus supplement for the specific terms of any units that we offer.

 

We will incorporate by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part the form of unit agreement, including a form of unit certificate, if any, that describes the terms of the series of units we are offering before the issuance of the related series of units. The following summaries of material provisions of the units and the unit agreements are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the unit agreement applicable to a particular series of units. We urge you to read the applicable prospectus supplements related to the units that we sell under this prospectus, as well as the complete unit agreements that contain the terms of the units.

 

General

 

We may issue units consisting of common shares and warrants. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each security included in the unit. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit are immediately separable or otherwise may not be held or transferred separately, at any time, or at any time before a specified date.

 

We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the series of units, including the following:

 

 

·

the designation and terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether and under what circumstances those securities may be held or transferred separately;

 

·

any provisions of the governing unit agreement that differ from those described below; and

 

·

any provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer, or exchange of the units or of the securities comprising the units.

 

The provisions described in this section, as well as those described under “Description of Common Shares” and “Description of Warrants,” will apply to each unit and to any common share or warrant included in each unit, respectively.

 

Issuance in Series

 

We may issue units in such amounts and in such numerous distinct series as we determine.

 

Enforceability of Rights by Holders of Units

 

Each unit agent, if any, will act solely as our agent under the applicable unit agreement and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with any holder of any unit. A single bank or trust company may act as unit agent for more than one series of units. A unit agent will have no duty or responsibility in case of any default by us under the applicable unit agreement or unit, including any duty or responsibility to initiate any proceedings at law or otherwise, or to make any demand upon us. Any holder of a unit, without the consent of the related unit agent or the holder of any other unit, may enforce by appropriate legal action its rights as holder under any security included in the unit.

 

Title

 

We, the unit agent, and any of their agents may treat the registered holder of any unit certificate as an absolute owner of the units evidenced by that certificate for any purposes and as the person entitled to exercise the rights attaching to the units so requested, despite any notice to the contrary.

TAXATION

 

The material Canadian and U.S. federal income tax consequences relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of any of the securities offered by this prospectus will be set forth in the prospectus supplement offering those securities or incorporated by reference from our Annual Report on Form 20-F or other public filings we make with the SEC.

Table of Contents

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We may sell the securities offered hereby from time to time pursuant to underwritten public offerings, negotiated transactions, block trades or a combination of these methods. We may sell the securities (1) through underwriters or dealers, (2) through agents and/or (3) directly to one or more purchasers. We may distribute the securities from time to time in one or more transactions:

 

 

·

at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed;

 

 

 

 

·

at market prices prevailing at the time of sale;

 

 

 

 

·

at prices related to such prevailing market prices; or

 

 

 

 

·

at negotiated prices.

 

We may directly solicit offers to purchase the securities being offered by this prospectus. We may also designate agents to solicit offers to purchase the securities from time to time. We will name in a prospectus supplement any agent involved in the offer or sale of our securities.

 

If we utilize a dealer in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, we will sell the securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale.

 

If we utilize an underwriter in the sale of the securities being offered by this prospectus, we will execute an underwriting agreement with the underwriter at the time of sale and provide the name of any underwriter in the prospectus supplement that the underwriter will use to make resales of the securities to the public. In connection with the sale of the securities, we, or the purchasers of securities for whom the underwriter may act as agent, may compensate the underwriter in the form of underwriting discounts or commissions. The underwriter may sell the securities to or through dealers, and the underwriter may compensate those dealers in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions.

 

We will provide in the applicable prospectus supplement any compensation we pay to underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering of the securities, and any discounts, concessions or commissions allowed by underwriters to participating dealers. Underwriters, dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and any discounts and commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions. We may enter into agreements to indemnify underwriters, dealers and agents against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments they may be required to make in respect thereof.

 

An underwriter may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing transactions, short covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with applicable securities laws. Over-allotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which creates a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bidders to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum. Short covering transactions involve purchases of the securities in the open market after the distribution is completed to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the prices of the securities to be higher than they would otherwise be. The underwriters may engage in these activities on any exchange or other market in which the securities may be traded. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue these activities at any time. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.

 

The underwriters, dealers and agents may engage in transactions with us, or perform services for us, in the ordinary course of business.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

 

We are a corporation organized under the laws of the Province of Ontario. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons or us, or to enforce against them or us judgments obtained in U.S. courts, whether or not predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or of the securities laws of any state of the United States.
