Additionally, the Company will issue 8,000,000 common shares, which will be subject to a 24 month escrow period, with scheduled releases in 25% installments every six months commencing June 1, 2022, in addition to any other resale restrictions or escrow requirements under applicable laws or CSE policies.
Application will be made for 8,000,000 common shares to be admitted to trading on Aquis Stock Exchange and such admission is expected to occur at 8:00am on or around 7 December 2021.
Following the issuance of the above-mentioned common shares, the Company's issued share capital will comprise 64,640,365 common shares without par value, with each share carrying the right to one vote.
Kodoku and its shareholders are not “related parties” (as such term is defined under CSE policies) of the Company.
