The Structure of the Offering
In this offering, each Unit will consist of one Common Share and one Common Share purchase warrant, also known as a Warrant.

Detailed offering documents will soon be available through the Company’s profile on the appropriate regulatory platforms and on its official website.

The majority of the capital will be invested in purchasing inventory necessary for the production and advancement of Liberty's HEXWAVE technology units. This allocation is critical for ramping up the production capabilities to meet growing market demands. Furthermore, a portion of the proceeds will be dedicated to investor relations, marketing initiatives, operational needs, and general working capital. These investments are essential for promoting the Company’s innovative offerings in the security sector.
