Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
On February 9, 2022, the Issuer granted 200,000 stock options to the reporting person. The options have an exercise price of CAD$1.76 (or approximately $1.39 in U.S. dollars based on the Bank of Canada exchange rate on that date), and each option is exercisable to acquire one Common Share for a five-year term commencing on the applicable vesting date. The options vest in three equal installments beginning on the date of grant and thereafter on April 1, 2022, and July 1, 2022.
As of the date hereof, and except as otherwise disclosed herein, the reporting person does not have any plans or proposals which relate to or would result in:
(a) | The acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer; |
(b) | An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; |
3
(c) | A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; |
(d) | Any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board; |
(e) | Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; |
(f) | Any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure; |
(g) | Changes in the Issuer’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions that may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person; |

Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer. |
(a) | As of the date of this statement, the reporting person beneficially owned a total of 5,319,203 Common Shares, which is 12.6% of the Issuer’s class of Common Shares, as calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As of February 9, 2022, the Issuer had a total of 41,568,697 Common Shares outstanding. The Common Shares beneficially owned by the reporting person includes 4,810,869 outstanding Common Shares and 508,334 Common Shares underlying stock options that are currently exercisable or that can be exercised within the next 60 days. Rule 13d-3 provides, in part, that shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option or warrant) within 60 days. In computing the percentage ownership of any person under Rule 13d-3, the a number of shares outstanding is deemed to include the number of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of the person does not necessarily reflect a person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares actually outstanding. |
(b) | The reporting person has sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the securities of the Issuer beneficially owned by him. |
(c) | Not applicable. |

(e) | Not applicable. |
Item 6. | Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer. |
Not applicable.
Item 7. | Material to be Filed as Exhibits. |
Not applicable.
