Each Unit will consist of one common share and one common share purchase warrant (the “ Warrant ”), with each Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one common share of the Corporation at the price of $0.25, for a period of 36 months following the closing of the private placement.
Groupe Lune Rouge Inc., currently an insider of the Corporation by virtue of owning 21,228,572 common shares (approximately 18.51% of the outstanding common shares) is expected to subscribe for Units in the amount of $500,000.

Pursuant to Regulation 61-101 Respecting protection of minority security holders in special transactions , this investment constitutes a "related party transaction" however, the Corporation anticipates that this transaction will be exempt from the obligations of obtaining minority shareholder approval and a formal valuation, as the fair market value of the consideration for the transaction, as it involves Groupe Lune Rouge Inc., does not exceed 25% of Earth Alive’ market capitalization, in accordance with Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of Regulation 61-101. A material change report in respect of this transaction will be filed however, the Corporation could not do so 21 days prior to the anticipated closing as their intent to participate was known at such time.
