The Company relied on section 5.5(b) of Multilateral Instrument 61-101- Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") as the exemption from the formal valuation requirements of MI 61-101 and TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 in respect of the Options grant to the directors and officers of Hemostemix, as no securities of the Company are listed on a specified market as defined in MI 61-101. Hemostemix relied on section 5.7(a) of MI 61-101 as the exemption from the minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 and TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 in respect of the Options grant to the directors and officers of the Company, as neither the fair market value of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the Options granted to the directors and officers of the Company exceeded 25% of Hemostemix' market capitalization. The Compensation Committee and Board of Directors of the Company have approved the Options grant and no materially contrary view or abstention was expressed or made by any director in relation to the Options grant. The material change report to be filed in relation to the Options grant will not be not filed at least 21 days prior to the completion of the Options grant as contemplated by MI 61-101. The Company believes that this shorter period is reasonable and necessary in the circumstances as the completion of the Options grant occurred shortly before the issuance of this news release and the filing of such material change report.
