(1) We have engaged Digital Offering, LLC (“Digital Offering”) to act as lead selling agent (the “Lead Selling Agent”) to offer our common shares (the “Shares”) to prospective investors in this offering (the “Offering”) on a “best efforts” basis, which means that there is no guarantee that any minimum amount will be received by us in this Offering. In addition, the Lead Selling Agent may engage one or more sub-agents or selected dealers to assist in its marketing efforts (Digital Offering, together with such sub-agents and/or dealers collectively, the “Selling Agents”). Furthermore, we have engaged Research Capital Corporation (“RCC”) to act as the selling agent of Shares to prospective investors in the Offering solely in Canada on a “best efforts” basis. Digital Offering and RCC are not purchasing the Shares offered by us and are not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of Shares in this Offering before a closing occurs. We will pay a cash commission of 7.0% to Digital Offering on sales of the Shares in this Offering in jurisdictions other than Canada, and we will pay a cash commission of 7.0% to RCC on sales of the Shares in this Offering in Canada. We will also issue a warrant to Digital Offering and a warrant to RCC to purchase a number of Shares equal to 2.5% of the total number of Shares sold in this Offering depending on the jurisdiction of the investors, exercisable for five years at an exercise price equal to 125% of the public offering price, subject to adjustments (the “Agent Warrants”). Digital Offering has agreed to remit .50% of this cash commission to the Company as a rebate to be applied towards the Company’s platform and marketing fees. See “Plan of Distribution” for details of compensation payable to the Lead Selling Agent and RCC in connection with the Offering.

 

 

 

(2) Does not account for the expenses of the Offering. See “Use of Proceeds” for estimated Offering expenses payable by the Company in connection with this offering.
(3) The Agent Warrants are being issued as partial compensation to the Lead Selling Agent and RCC. The value of the Agent Warrants set forth in the table above is based on the number of Shares underlying the Agent Warrants multiplied by the offering price of the Shares in this Offering of $4.25 per Share. The actual value of the Agent Warrants utilizing an options pricing model would be less than the amount indicated in the table.
(4) We estimate that, in addition to the selling commission payable to the Lead Selling Agent, total expenses of the Offering will be approximately $2,378,334, assuming this Offering is fully subscribed. Includes (i) the $45,000 onboarding fee paid by the Company to Equifund Technologies LLC (“Equifund”), (ii) an estimated $666,667 in investor fees of $50 per investor payable by the Company to Equifund (assuming 13,333 investors in this Offering), (iii) payment processing fees payable by the Company to Equifund of approximately $866,667, and (iv) estimated expenses of the Offering (including the EDGARization, filing, printing, legal, marketing, accounting and other miscellaneous expenses) of approximately $800,000. See “Plan of Distribution” for further details.

 

Modern Mining Technology Corp., a corporation formed under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (the “Company”, “we,” or “our”), is offering up to $39,999,997 or 9,411,764 Shares (the “Maximum Offering”) at a purchase price of $4.25 USD per share on a “best efforts” basis. Although the Company, may raise up to $39,999,997 in this offering, it may, in its sole discretion, decide to terminate the offering earlier, including after the Company reaches its internal target amount of $15,000,001.  We are selling our Shares in the United States through a Tier 2 offering pursuant to Regulation A (Regulation A+) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and, in Canada, pursuant to a long form prospectus in accordance with National Instrument 41-101 – General Prospectus Requirements being filed with the securities regulatory authority in the Provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario (the “Provinces”), which long form prospectus also qualifies our Shares being sold in the United States, and we intend to sell the Shares through the Selling Agents in the United States and RCC in the Provinces.

 

Up to 941,176 of the Shares will be offered for sale in the Provinces pursuant to an agency agreement with RCC.

 

We have applied to have the Shares listed on the NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American”) under the symbol “MDRN.” To qualify for such listing, this Offering must meet the following minimum quantitative standards of NYSE American: (i) completion of the Offering at a price per Share of at least $4.00; (ii) at least 400 public shareholders; (iii) public float of at least 1,000,000 Shares; (iv) an aggregate market value of publicly held Shares of $15.0 million; (v) aggregate stockholders’ equity of at least $4 million; and (vi) at least two years of operating history (the “Minimum Quantitative Standards”). The fact that an applicant company for listing may meet the Minimum Quantitative Standards does not necessarily mean that its application will be approved. NYSE American retains broad discretion to consider other factors including, but are not limited to, the applicant’s historical record and pattern of growth, its financial integrity (including the applicant’s ability to meet its anticipated financial liquidity requirements for at least 12 months following listing), and its future outlook (the “Minimum Qualitative Standards" and together with the Minimum Quantitative Standards, the “Minimum Listing Standards”). If our application is approved, we intend to request that the listing of the Shares will be made effective upon NYSE American’s certification of our Form 8-A, which we plan to file concurrently with qualification of, or a post-qualification amendment to, the offering statement (the “Offering Statement”) of which this offering circular forms a part. If the Shares are not approved for listing on NYSE American, we will not complete the Offering contemplated hereby. No assurance can be given that our application to list on NYSE American will be approved or that an active trading market for the Shares will develop. The Shares are not currently listed or quoted on any exchange.

 

We will issue Agent Warrants to the Lead Selling Agent for Shares sold in the United States and issue Agents Warrants to RCC for Shares sold in the Provinces, whereby the Agent Warrants will entitle the holder thereof to purchase such number of Shares equal to 2.5% of the total number of Shares sold in the United States for the Lead Selling Agent and sold in Canada for RCC, at a per Share price equal to 125% of the per Share price of the Shares offered hereby (subject to adjustments). The Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part also registers the issuance of the Shares issuable upon exercise of the Agent Warrants (although the Lead Selling Agent has agreed not to sell the Agent Warrant or any of the shares issuable upon exercise of the Agent Warrant until six months after the commencement of the Offering). We do not intend to list the Agent Warrant on a national securities exchange or an over-the-counter quotation system. See “Plan of Distribution” for a description of these arrangements.

This summary is not complete and does not contain all the information that you should consider before deciding whether to invest in our Shares. You should read this entire Offering Circular carefully, including the “Risk Factors” section, our historical consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, each included elsewhere in this Offering Circular.

Our Company

 

Modern Mining Technology Corp. (formerly known as Urban Mining International Inc.) is a “landfill-to-commodity” focused business venture, offering a cleaner, safer, and lower-cost alternative compared to traditional mining operations. Our core business is aimed at processing and extracting strategic commodities from the vast, growing, and largely ignored global resource of electronic waste (“E-Waste”), and transforming these end-of-life landfill-bound materials into high-value resources. Value is captured by using our aqueous based processes to recover, process and refine commodity metals such as: gold, palladium, silver, copper and potentially 30 other metals.

 

Our Market

 

Our market consists of two parts — E-Waste feed supply and produced commodity sales.

 

E-Waste Feed Supply

 

The report, entitled Global E-Waste Monitor 2024 (the “Report”), provides that the world generated a staggering, and a record high, 62 million tonnes (Mt) (1,000 kg per tonne) of E-waste in 2022, representing billions of dollars of strategically-valuable resources dumped, squandered, and wasted1. This is up 82% from 2010. In volume, this 62 million tonnes of E-waste would fill 1.55 million Semi Trucks, roughly enough pickup trucks to form a bumper-to-bumper line encircling the Earth’s equator. The Report also predicts global E-Waste will rise another 30% and reach 82 million tonnes annually by 2030 driven by increased technology use, shorter device life spans, and fewer repair options. The U.S. is the second largest generator of E-Waste in the world. The Report further indicates that in 2022 alone, approximately $62 billion worth of gold, silver, copper, platinum and other high-value, recoverable materials were wasted through landfill dumping or incineration burning, rather than being collected for treatment and reuse. It is Modern Mining’s business objective to address this situation and recover lost commodity materials from this E-Waste.

 

Commodity Sales

 

The Journal of Management Science and Engineering2 (the “Journal”) also produced findings that the cost to recycle E-Waste is significantly less than the cost of traditional mining. Lower production costs is a strategic advantage compared to traditional commodity producers. In addition to an increasing world demand for commodities, a number of large companies have announced their planned roadmaps to a more socially responsible supply chain. For example, in 2025, Apple announced that 24% of the materials it shipped in Apple products came from recycled or renewable sources3, and it intends to use 100% renewable or recyclable materials in its products in the future, while Dell reemphasized its commitment to over 50% of product content being made from recycled, renewable or low emission materials by 20304. Also in 2025, Google announced that it used 20% recycled content in 2024 products with a goal to increase recycled materials usage5. These are three examples of a growing trend of companies being more aware of their supply chains.

Our Business, Our Products and Services

 

Our wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary, Modern Mining Technology Corp. (formerly, Urban Mining International Inc.), largely focusing on research and development in the E-Waste sector, conducted internal and external bench scale and pilot plant testing from its former facilities in Raleigh, North Carolina to demonstrate proof of concept. The external tests were done to ensure that we would be able to liberate metals and separate them from the plastic in which they are imbedded. Metallic Sand Concentrate (“MSC”) was successfully created by this process. The internal tests were done to ensure that high-grade/upgraded E-waste feedstock would be able to undergo purification, which it was, and we were able to produce a doré bar. The test work was aimed at generating technical inputs needed for our proposed plan to design a commercial scale E-Waste processing facility using our proposed proprietary two-step Pre-Concentration Plant (“PCP”) and Aqueous Purification Plant (“APP”) process.

 

To achieve our objectives, we have developed a two-step propriety process while our envisioned value-chain can be broken down into 3 main stages:

 

  1) We secure quality E-Waste feedstock from primary recyclers.

 

  2) We separate the plastics from the metals using our proprietary pre-concentration methods. The plastics are then shipped to downstream third-party recyclers, suppliers, and certified waste handlers.

 

  3) The concentrated metals streams can be sold as intermediate products, or treated though our proprietary aqueous purification process, and the purified metal products can then be sold into industrial supply chains.

 

The following depicts the Company’s three main processing steps:

 

 

We plan to sell final products produced by the PCP and APP on the metal commodities markets into both domestic and international supply chains.

 

We have engaged a third-party process modelling and industrial optimization firm to assist in layout optimization, three dimensional (“3D”) modelling, and dynamic simulation studies on our first commercial scale PCP and APP. These plants will be co-located in our future commercial facility in North Carolina. Our current Greenville facility presently serves only as a pilot and demonstration plant that we intend to use to continue to optimize our processes that we ultimately plan to move to commercial scale production at a future location, or expand our current facility. In the long-term, we intend to secure a larger facility in the Raleigh or Greenville area of North Carolina to serve as our commercial-scale production facility although such future facility has yet to be identified as our current pilot plant facility still has significant capacity that we foresee being adequate in the short-term. The commercial PCP will be designed to treat approximately 8,000 tonnes of E-Waste per year and the commercial APP will be designed to be able to process concentrate from up to four PCPs.

 

2

 

 

After commercial start-up of our initial PCP and APP plants (expected to take approximately 18 months inclusive of a 6 month build-out, a 6-month commissioning program, and a 6 month ramp-up period), we believe that we can be a commercial producer of commodity materials, supplying both domestic and international supply chains with strategic metals. The processes we have developed for recycling E-Waste are environmentally beneficial compared to material going to landfill. Furthermore, we believe that the design of our proprietary processes (PCP and APP) will allow for the ability to scale and grow our business, and take advantage of a worldwide resource, E-Waste.

 

Our Competitive Strengths

 

  Combining Four Core Market Trends

 

Modern Mining anticipates benefiting from the overlap of four core market trends: (a) the growing global demand for commodity metals (examples — global push for electrification, growth in China, Ukraine rebuilding); (b) the importance of strengthening and developing transparent and socially responsible domestic supply chains, and onshoring the supply of critical materials; (c) the importance of developing sustainable and environmentally friendly driven solutions to support a ‘circular’ economy given the projected growth in global E-waste generation; and (d) the increasing importance of hedging against inflationary pressures.

 

  Benefit from Proprietary Technology

 

We have developed proprietary technologies that we believe set us apart from other E-Waste processors and from other commodity producers. We believe that our two-step approach of regional pre-concentration and centralized purification, combined with our modular and scalable design, will reduce capital and operating costs and will allow for a rapid expansion into other future potential major E-Waste generating locations.

 

  Designed to Comply with Government Mandates

 

Due to our anticipated high recovery rates and sustainable, environmentally friendly processes, and low/non-toxic controlled effluent, we believe we are well-positioned to comply with environmental guidelines around the world6.

 

Our E-Waste recycling processes are environmentally friendly and do not generate any significant gaseous, liquid, or solids emissions only noise, air borne dust, and sewer discharges at this time. Our pre-concentration processes are purely water based with no chemical addition, and our purification methods utilize controlled aqueous based reagent blends in connection with our refined metal production. To that end, we have noise control and dust control systems in place and we currently use a closed-loop water recirculation system to manage effluent discharge. We envision that we will be well positioned to meet any environmental guidelines around the world when and if we expand our operations from our current facility in Greenville, North Carolina.

 

Global environmental guidelines that may be applicable to our operations include (a) the Basel Convention, which monitors the transboundary movements of hazardous and other wastes; (b) the UN Sustainable Development Goals encompassing E-Waste, such as SDG 6, which covers clean waste and sanitation, and SDG 12, which covers sustainable consumption and production patterns; (c) E-Waste legislation implemented around the world, such as Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programs to shift the burden of e-waste management from local municipalities to producers (d) U.S. Inflation Reduction Act; and (e) U.S. Senate hearings banning the export of E-waste7.

  Superior to Current Standard E-Waste Recycling Processes

 

We believe that our business plan sets us apart from others in the industry, in particular given our ability to be one of the low/non-carbon generating processors in the space with our proprietary aqueous based pre-concentration and purification technologies, versus the incineration-based methods of others in the industry. E-waste contains numerous toxic additives and hazardous substances that pose significant risk to human health and our environment if not disposed of and treated properly (examples — mercury, lead, heavy metals, brominated flame retardants, chlorofluorocarbons, hydrochlorofluorocarbons, dioxins). In China and other parts of the world, recycling of E-Waste can be a major hazard. Other locations include India and Ghana, Liberia, and Nigeria. Informal and primitive E-Waste recycling occurs regularly, where workers and others are exposed to dangerous chemicals with potentially long-term adverse health effects8. Modern Mining plans to cleanly and safely process these substances, Incineration methods are extremely energy intensive methods9. The plastics are burned off resulting in major carbon dioxide and other hazardous emissions. Attempts to separate metals using pyrometallurgical methods result in significant metal losses as not all metals can be economically recovered. Modern Mining’s process, being aqueous-based, is largely carbon neutral, safer for both workers and for the environment, and allows for the recovery of a broader range of metals as separation and recovery is driven by physical methods and simple reagent addition, not complex pyrometallurgy.

 

  Decreased Risk Profile

 

Traditional exploration and mining projects are inherently layered with significant risk as a consequence of having to deal with the earth’s crust and all of its natural variability. Major risks include: (a) exploration risk (the success rate of making a new discovery is low); (b) geological risk (the made grades of newly discovered deposits are generally decreasing); (c) engineering risk (the nature of newly discovered deposits is complex) and (d) geopolitical risk (various commodity resources are hosted in politically unstable and hostile jurisdictions).

 

In contrast, E-Waste is a man-made engineered product. It contains a very prescriptive blend and known quantity of strategic metals. As a result, the processing of E-Waste carries negligible exploration, geological, and geopolitical risk. Furthermore, as industry standard payment terms for our feedstock E-Waste are linked to the proportions of metals recovered, the impact and risk of fluctuating commodity prices are reduced as well. We believe feedstock E-Waste can also deliver 100 times better10 grades than traditional mined ores and the processing of E-Waste can carry less than 1/70th the capital expenditures11 of a traditional gold mine. Modern Mining aims to provide our stakeholders with the potential upside value associated with commodities investments, all the while minimizing downside risk exposure common to conventional mining projects.

 

  Availability of Supply

 

The amount of E-Waste produced by the world in 2016 was approximately 50 million tonnes12. With 5% of that E-Waste being printed circuit boards (“PCBs’), that amounts to 2.5 million tonnes of potential feedstock, of which only 17.4% was being recycled. At our current plant design capacity of approximately 8,000 tonnes per PCP, capturing “wasted” E-Waste would require over 250 concentrator plants. It is envisioned that 1 tonne of PCBs is equivalent in volume to three gaylord pallet boxes.

 

We currently have non-binding letters of intent to secure two times the quantity of feedstock needed to operate our initial PCP at 100% capacity, however, there are no guaranteed obligations for such suppliers to provide any amount of such feedstock to us.

See S&P Capital IQ data publicly available which reports grade and tonnage values for the reserves and resources of every active primary gold mine currently in production across the world up to the date September 5, 2025. The average gold grade of global reserves and resources is approximately 1.24 g/t Au. We anticipate the average grade of our feedstock to be approximately136 g/t Au, which represents a grade 100 times better than traditional mined ores like gold.

See S&P Capital IQ data publicly available. The average capital expenditure for every operating and/or feasibility complete primary gold project in North America between August 2020 and August 2025 is approximately $700 million. Our estimated capital expenditure costs are anticipated to be approximately 10 million, yielding a figure of 1/70th the capital expenditure of traditional ore mines.

  Positioned to Benefit from Raising Commodity Prices

 

We further believe we are positioned to benefit from any rise in commodity metal prices for our recovered metals: Gold, Silver, Copper, Platinum and Palladium.

 

  Continuous Process Research and Development Plans

 

We plan to have a continuing research and development program. This program will have two main goals. The first goal will be to optimize our proprietary processes to increase recoveries and reduce costs. The second goal will be to expand our core technology to be able to recover additional metals and to be able to process additional types of E-Waste feedstock.

 

Our Growth Strategy

 

The Company intends to expand its footprint to other locations around the United States and internationally (target of 1 PCP per year over 4 years), so that multiple concentrator plants are strategically located geographically near major third-party, primary recycling facilities, significantly reducing raw material transportation costs. Our plan is that the first additional PCPs will feed into the initial APP in North Carolina. Expansion of our aqueous purification capacity will be undertaken as material supply and economics dictate.

 

Our North Carolina Plant

 

In September 2022, we secured a facility lease containing approximately 10,000 square feet of effective working space in nearby Greenville, North Carolina to serve as our pilot plant and demonstration facility.

 

It is anticipated that this facility will allow us to operate at approximately up to 5% (avg. plant capacity of 1 tonne per day in short term ramp-up) of the processing capacity envisioned for our future planned commercial-scale plant. We intend to use this facility to house both our pilot PCP and APP equipment. We intend to operate our pilot and demonstration plant as needed for the following business purposes:

 

  To demonstrate the operability and scalability of our full end-to-end process;

 

  To generate additional operating data for detailed engineering and scale-up studies for our commercial plant;

 

  To conduct process expansion studies;

 

  To optimize the performance objectives of our technology; and

 

  To serve as an operations training platform to help streamline the commissioning and start-up activities of our commercial plant.

 

We elected to make North Carolina our U.S. processing home as a logical extension of our past local research efforts, favorable incentives, proximity to major logistics networks, and direct access to some of the world’s largest supplies of E-Waste through proximity to the densely populated eastern U.S. seaboard.

 

In the long-term, we intend to secure a larger facility in the Raleigh or Greenville area of North Carolina to serve as our commercial-scale production facility although such future facility has yet to be identified as our current pilot plant and demonstration facility still has significant capacity that we foresee being adequate in the short-term.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Foreign Private Issuer

 

As an issuer with less than $1.235 billion in total annual gross revenues during our last fiscal year, we will qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) and this status will be significant if and when we become subject to the ongoing reporting requirements of the Exchange Act upon filing and effectiveness of a Form 8-A. An emerging growth company may take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements and is relieved of certain other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. In particular, as an emerging growth company we: 

 

  will not be required to obtain an auditor attestation on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended;

 

  will not be required to provide a detailed narrative disclosure discussing our compensation principles, objectives and elements and analyzing how those elements fit with our principles and objectives (commonly referred to as “compensation discussion and analysis”);

 

  will not be required to obtain a non-binding advisory vote from our members on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements (commonly referred to as the “say-on-pay,” “say-on-frequency” and “say-on-golden-parachute” votes);

 

  will be exempt from certain executive compensation disclosure provisions requiring a pay-for-performance graph and CEO pay ratio disclosure;

 

  may present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, or MD&A; and

 

  will be eligible to claim longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards.

 

6

 

 

We intend to take advantage of all of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions, including the longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards, and hereby elect to do so. Our election to use the phase-in periods may make it difficult to compare our financial statements to those of non-emerging growth companies and other emerging growth companies that have opted out of the phase-in periods under Section 107 of the JOBS Act.

 

Under the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of the above-described reduced reporting requirements and exemptions for up to five years after our initial sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or such earlier time that we no longer meet the definition of an emerging growth company. Note that this Offering, while a public offering, is not a sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement, since the Offering is conducted pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements. In this regard, the JOBS Act provides that we would cease to be an “emerging growth company” if we have more than $1.235 billion in annual revenues, have more than $700 million in market value of our common shares held by non-affiliates, or issue more than $1.07 billion in principal amount of non-convertible debt over a three-year period.

 

In addition, upon the consummation of this Offering, we will report in accordance with the rules and regulations applicable to a “foreign private issuer.” As a foreign private issuer, we will take advantage of certain provisions under the rules that allow us to follow the applicable laws of the Province of British Columbia for certain corporate governance matters. Even when we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, as long as we continue to qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we will be exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act that are applicable to U.S. domestic public companies, including:

 

  the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations with respect to a security registered under the Exchange Act;

 

  the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing unaudited financial and other specified information, and current reports on Form 8-K upon the occurrence of specified significant events; and

 

  Regulation Fair Disclosure (“Regulation FD”), which regulates selective disclosures of material information by issuers.

 

As a foreign private issuer, we will have four months after the end of each fiscal year to file our annual report on Form 20-F with the SEC. In addition, as a result of the Holding Foreign Insiders Accountable Act (the “HFIAA”) our executive officers and directors will be required to report transactions in our equity securities in accordance with section 16(a) of the Exchange Act upon our class of common shares becoming registered pursuant to section 12 of the Exchange Act, however, on March 5, 2026, the SEC issued an order exempting directors and officers of a Canadian issuer that is a foreign private issuer, which is subject to Canada’s National Instrument 55-104 – Insider Reporting Requirements and Exemptions and National Instrument 55-102 – System for Electronic Disclosure by Insiders, from having to report under section 16(a) of the Exchange Act if the directors or officers are (i) required to report transactions in the issuer’s securities pursuant to such securities laws, and (ii) any report filed pursuant to such securities laws must be made publicly available in English within two business days of public posting. Also, our executive officers and directors will continue to be exempt from the short-swing profit liability provisions contained in section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.

 

7

 

 

Foreign private issuers, like emerging growth companies, are exempt from certain more stringent executive compensation disclosure rules. As such, even when we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, as long as we continue to qualify as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we will continue to be exempt from the more stringent compensation disclosures required of public companies that are not foreign private issuers.

 

We may take advantage of these exemptions until such time as we are no longer a foreign private issuer. We are required to determine our status as a foreign private issuer on an annual basis at the end of our second fiscal quarter. We would cease to be a foreign private issuer at such time as more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities are held by U.S. residents and any of the following three circumstances applies:

 

  (i) the majority of our executive officers or directors are U.S. citizens or residents;

 

  (ii) more than 50% of our assets are located in the United States; or

 

  (iii) our business is administered principally in the United States.

 

In this Offering Circular, we have taken advantage of certain of the reduced reporting requirements as a result of being an emerging growth company and a foreign private issuer. Accordingly, the information that we provide in this Offering Circular may be different than the information you may receive from other public companies in which you hold equity interests. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the prices of our securities may be more volatile.

RISK FACTORS SUMMARY

 

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

 

  we are an early-stage company with limited operating history and may never become profitable;

 

  our revenue depends on maintaining and increasing feedstock of E-Waste supply commitments as well as securing new customers and off-take agreements;

 

  in addition to commodity prices, our revenues will be primarily driven by the volume and composition of E-Waste feedstock materials to be processed at our future facilities and changes in the volume or composition of E-Waste feedstock processed could significantly impact our revenues and results of operations;

 

  our success will depend on our ability to economically source, extract and recover E-Waste, and to meet the market demand for sustainable and environmentally driven solutions for E-Waste processing;

 

  we may not be able to successfully implement our growth strategy, on a timely basis or at all;

 

  the development of our Greenville, North Carolina facility, and any future projects are subject to risks, including with respect to engineering, permitting, procurement, construction, commissioning and ramp-up, and we cannot guarantee that these projects will be completed in a timely manner, that our costs will not be significantly higher than estimated, or that the completed projects will meet expectations with respect to their productivity or the specifications of their and products, among others;

 

  we may be unable to manage future growth effectively;

 

  failure to materially increase recycling capacity and efficiency could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition;

 

  future acquisitions and strategic investments could be difficult to integrate, divert the attention of key management personnel, disrupt our business, dilute shareholder value, and harm our results of operations and financial conditions; and

 

  expanding internationally involves risks that could delay our expansion plans and/or prohibit us from entering markets in certain jurisdictions, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

 

  Using a credit card to purchase Shares may impact the return on your investment as well as subject you to other risks inherent in this form of payment.

 

9

 

 

Risks Related to our Regulatory Framework

 

  We may not be able to obtain or maintain the necessary permits, licenses, or regulatory approvals required to operate or expand our business, which could curtail our operations. 

 

  Changes in laws, regulations, or their enforcement could require costly operational changes or result in material liabilities. 

 

Risks Related to our Shares and this Offering

 

  Significant shareholders, including holders of Investor Rights Warrants and Convertible Debentures, may exert substantial control over the company, potentially leading to conflicts of interest with other shareholders.

 

  As a foreign private issuer, we are subject to less stringent U.S. reporting and governance requirements, which may reduce transparency and shareholder protections compared to U.S. domestic companies. 

 

  Listing on NYSE American will increase our regulatory burden and compliance costs, and failure to meet listing requirements could result in delisting and reduced liquidity for our shares. 

 

  We may issue additional shares or equity securities without shareholder approval, diluting existing shareholders’ ownership and potentially depressing our share price. 

 

  We are likely to be treated as a U.S. corporation for federal tax purposes, potentially resulting in double taxation and complex tax compliance obligations. 

 

  Using a credit card to purchase shares may increase investment costs and expose investors to additional financial risks.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our Shares involves a high degree of risk. The SEC requires that we identify risks that are specific to our business and our financial condition. You should carefully consider the following risk factors and the other information in this Offering Circular before investing in our securities. Our business and results of operations could be seriously harmed by any of the following risks. The risks set out below are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, reputation, financial condition, results of operations, revenue and future prospects could be materially adversely affected and you could lose all or part of your investment in the Shares. In such case, the value of our securities could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

 

Risks Related to our Business and Industry

 

We are an early-stage company with limited operating history and may never become profitable.

 

We are a development stage company with no meaningful commercial revenues and only net losses. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, our revenue was $Nil and we recorded a net loss of $23,093,986 and for the year ended December 31, 2025, our revenue was $Nil and we recorded a net loss of $38,368,833. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, our revenue was $Nil and we recorded a net loss of $488,968 and for the year ended December 31, 2024, our revenue was $Nil and we recorded a net loss of $2,305,221. Our primary sources of liquidity are currently the funds raised from the issuance of the offering of the Urban Mining International, Inc. UMI Warrants, our common shares, the 2022 Debenture Offering, the 2024 Debenture Offering, the SAFE Notes, the funds borrowed from Blue Bird Capital Enterprises, LLC, the funds borrowed from certain other shareholders and the funds borrowed from former directors and officers. We expect both our capital and operating expenditures will increase significantly in connection with our ongoing activities.

 

We expect to require adequate proceeds generated from this Offering and additional funding to expand our operations and develop our sales and distribution channels. However, there can be no assurance that additional funding will be available to us for the development of our business, which will require the commitment of substantial resources. Accordingly, you should consider our prospects in light of the costs, uncertainties, delays and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the early stages of development. Potential investors should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties that an early-stage company with a very limited operating history will face. In particular, potential investors should consider that we may be unable to:

 

  successfully implement or execute our business plan if our business plan is not sound or for other reasons;

 

  obtain sufficient and affordable quantities of high quality feedstock;

 

  effectively process the E-Waste we obtain to produce sufficient quantities of commercially saleable commodities;

 

  develop our proposed facilities;

 

  effectively pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions;

 

  adjust to changing conditions or keep pace with increased demand;

 

  attract and retain an experienced management team; or

 

  raise sufficient funds in the capital markets to effectuate our business plan, including building production capacity.

We believe that our performance and future success is dependent on multiple factors that present significant opportunities for us to increase revenues, but also pose risks and challenges. If we cannot successfully develop, manufacture and distribute our products, or if we experience difficulties in the development process, such as capacity constraints, quality control problems or other disruptions, we may not be able to develop or offer market-ready commercial products at acceptable costs, which would adversely affect our ability to effectively enter the market or expand our market share. A failure by us to achieve a low-cost structure through economies of scale or improvements in cultivation, manufacturing or distribution processes would have a material adverse effect on our commercialization plans and our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Our revenue depends on obtaining, maintaining and increasing feedstock of E-Waste supply commitments as well as securing new customers and off-take agreements.

 

We must obtain, maintain and grow our E-Waste feedstock supply commitments as well as new customers (including through entry into off-take agreements for our concentrates and products) in order to generate revenue. As of the date of this Offering Circular, we have no firm commitments for the supply of E-Waste feedstock to our operating facility, and only have non-binding letters of intent from numerous suppliers. Such suppliers have no contractual obligation to provide us any E-waste feedstock for our current operations. Going forward, we may be unable to secure contracts with such E-Waste feedstock vendors and even if we do secure such contracts, E-Waste feedstock suppliers may change or delay supply contracts for any number of reasons, such as force majeure or government approval factors that are unrelated to Modern Mining. Likewise, we do not currently have any off-take agreements for the sale of our products. Even if we do secure such off-take contracts, suppliers may fail to perform under their contracts for similar reasons outlined above.

 

As a result, in order to operate our business, we must develop and obtain feedstock supply and product off-take agreements. However, it is difficult to predict whether and when we will secure such commitments and/or contracts due to competition for suppliers and the lengthy process of negotiating supplier agreements as well as buyer contracts, all of which may be affected by factors that we do not control, such as market and economic conditions, financing arrangements, commodity prices, environmental issues and government approvals.

 

In addition to commodity prices, our revenues will be primarily driven by the volume and composition of E-Waste feedstock materials to be processed at our future facilities and changes in the volume or composition of E-Waste feedstock processed could significantly impact our revenues and results of operations.

 

Our future revenues depend on processing high volumes of E-Waste feedstock, and our revenues will be directly impacted by the chemistry of the feedstock processed, particularly as market chemistries shift. Certain feedstock chemistries produce raw materials for which we receive higher prices than others. A decline in overall volume of E-Waste feedstock processed, or a decline in volume of chemistries with higher priced content relative to other chemistries, could result in a significant decline in our revenues, which in turn would have a material impact on our results of operations.

 

Our success will depend on our ability to economically source, extract, and recover E-Waste, and to meet the market demand for sustainable and environmentally driven solutions for E-Waste processing.

 

Our future business depends in large part on our ability to economically and effectively process and recover strategic metals and materials from E-Waste, and to meet the market demand for sustainable and environmentally driven solutions for E-Waste processing. Although we have conducted research and development (“R&D”) and testing of our proprietary two-step PCP and APP process, we will need to scale our processing capacity in order to successfully implement our growth strategy and plan to do so in the future by, among other things, successfully building and developing our first commercial facility in Greenville, North Carolina. Although we have experience in processing E-Waste materials in our previous facilities, such operations were conducted on a limited scale, and we have not yet developed or operated a facility on a commercial scale to produce and sell end products. We do not know whether we will be able to develop efficient and low-cost processing capabilities, or whether we will be able to secure reliable sources of supply, in each case that will enable us to meet the production standards, costs and volumes required to successfully process E-Waste and meet our business objectives and customer needs. Even if we are successful in high-volume recycling and processing in our future facilities, we do not know whether we will be able to do so in a manner that avoids significant delays and cost overruns, including as a result of factors beyond our control, such as problems with suppliers, or in time to meet the commercialization schedules of future recycling needs or to satisfy the requirements of our customers. Our ability to effectively reduce our cost structure over time is limited by the fixed nature of many of our planned expenses in the near-term, and our ability to reduce long-term expenses is constrained by our need to continue investment in our growth strategy. Any failure to develop and scale such manufacturing processes and capabilities within our projected costs and timelines could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

 

16

 

 

We may not be able to successfully implement our growth strategy, on a timely basis or at all.

 

Our future growth, results of operations and financial condition depend upon our ability to successfully implement our growth strategy, which, in turn, is dependent upon a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control, including our ability to:

 

  economically process E-Waste and recover strategic metals and materials and meet customers’ business needs;

 

  effectively introduce methods for higher extraction and higher recovery rates of strategic metals, including metals recovery from R&D initiatives;

 

  complete the construction of our future facilities, including the Greenville, North Carolina facility, at a reasonable cost and on a timely basis;

 

  effectively ramp-up our facilities to expected performance targets;

 

  invest and keep pace in technology, research and development efforts, and the expansion into additional commodities recovery beyond gold, silver, copper, and palladium;

 

  secure and maintain required strategic supply arrangements, and obtain appropriate operating environmental and industrial quality certifications;

 

  effectively compete in the markets in which we operate; and

 

  attract and retain management or other employees who possess specialized knowledge and technical skills.

 

There can be no assurance that we can successfully achieve any or all of the above initiatives in the manner or time period that we expect. Further, achieving these objectives will require investments that may result in both short-term and long-term costs without generating any current revenue and therefore may be dilutive to earnings. We cannot provide any assurance that we will realize, in full or in part, the anticipated benefits we expect to generate from our growth strategy. Failure to realize those benefits could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

 

The development of our Greenville, North Carolina facility, and future projects, if any, are subject to risks, including with respect to engineering, permitting, procurement, construction, commissioning and ramp-up, and we cannot guarantee that these projects will be completed in a timely manner, that our costs will not be significantly higher than estimated, or that the completed projects will meet expectations with respect to their productivity or the specifications of their end products, among others.

 

Our Greenville, North Carolina facility (herein, the “Facility”), and future projects, if any, are subject to development risks, including with respect to engineering, permitting, procurement, construction, commissioning and ramp-up. Because of the uncertainties inherent in estimating construction and labor costs and the potential for the scope of a project to change, it is relatively difficult to evaluate accurately the total funds that will be required to complete the Facility, or future projects. Further, our estimate of the amount of time it will take to complete the Facility, or future projects, are based on assumptions about the timing of engineering studies, permitting, procurement, construction, commissioning and ramp-up, all of which can vary significantly from the time an estimate is made to the time of completion. We cannot guarantee that the costs of the Facility, or future projects, will not be higher than estimated, or that we will have sufficient capital to cover any increased costs, or that we will be able to complete the Facility, or future projects, within expected timeframes. Any such cost increases or delays could negatively affect our results of operations and ability to continue to grow, particularly if the Facility, or any future project, cannot be completed. Further, there can be no assurance that the Facility will perform at the expected production rates or unit costs, or that the end products will meet the intended specifications.

 

17

 

 

We may be unable to manage future growth effectively.

 

Even if we can successfully implement our growth strategy, any failure to manage our growth effectively could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. We intend to expand our operations around the United States, and internationally in the long-term, which will require us to hire and train new employees; accurately forecast supply and demand, production and revenue; control expenses and investments in anticipation of expanded operations; establish new or expand current design, production, and sales and service facilities; and implement and enhance administrative infrastructure, systems and processes. Future growth may also be tied to acquisitions, and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to effectively acquire other businesses or integrate businesses that we acquire. Failure to efficiently manage any of the above could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

 

Failure to materially increase recycling capacity and efficiency could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

 

Although our future commercial facility in North Carolina is expected to have an annual total processing capacity of approximately 8,000 tonnes of E-Waste, the future success of our business depends in part on our ability to significantly increase our recycling capacity and efficiency. We may be unable to expand our business, satisfy demand from customers, maintain our competitive position and achieve profitability if we are unable to build and operate any future facilities. The construction of future facilities will require significant cash investments and management resources and may not meet our expectations with respect to increasing capacity and efficiency. For example, if there are delays in any future planned facilities, or if our facilities do not meet expected performance standards or are not able to produce materials that meet the quality standards we expect, we may not meet our target for adding capacity, which would limit our ability to increase sales and result in lower-than-expected sales and higher than expected costs and expenses. Failure to drastically increase recycling and processing capacity or otherwise satisfy customers’ demands may result in a loss of market share to competitors, damage our relationships with our key customers, a loss of business opportunities or otherwise materially adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.

 

We have not yet demonstrated commercial-scale metal recoveries from E-Waste, and actual operating results may differ materially from our laboratory and pilot-plant projections.

 

Although our proprietary PCP and APP processes have produced encouraging bench-scale and pilot-scale results, we have no experience operating these processes at the throughput rates, metal concentrations and continuous-run durations contemplated for our first commercial facility. Scale-up frequently introduces unanticipated engineering challenges, lower recoveries, higher reagent consumption, fouling, wear, downtime and maintenance costs. Should recoveries or unit costs deviate adversely from our current projections, we may be unable to meet offtake specifications, satisfy lender covenants or achieve positive operating margins, any of which would have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

Future acquisitions and strategic investments could be difficult to integrate, divert the attention of key management personnel, disrupt our business, dilute shareholder value, and harm our results of operations and financial condition.

 

We may in the future seek to acquire or invest in, businesses, products, or technologies that we believe could complement our operations or expand our breadth, enhance our capabilities, or otherwise offer growth opportunities. While our growth strategy includes broadening our product offerings, implementing an aggressive marketing plan and employing product diversification, there can be no assurance that our systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support our operations as they expand. We cannot assure you that our personnel, systems, procedures or controls will be adequate to support our operations in the future or that we will be able to successfully implement appropriate measures consistent with our growth strategy. As part of our planned growth and diversified product offerings, we may have to implement new operational and financial systems, procedures and controls to expand, train and manage our employee base, and maintain close coordination among our staff. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so, or that if we are able to do so, we will be able to effectively integrate them into our existing staff and systems.

 

18

 

 

Additionally, the integration of our acquisitions and pursuit of potential future acquisitions may divert the attention of management and cause us to incur various expenses in identifying, investigating, and pursuing suitable acquisitions, whether or not they are consummated. Any acquisition, investment or business relationship may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures. In addition, we have limited experience in acquiring other businesses. Specifically, we may not successfully evaluate or utilize the acquired products, assets or personnel, or accurately forecast the financial impact of an acquisition transaction, including accounting charges. Moreover, the anticipated benefits of any acquisition, investment, or business relationship may not be realized, or we may be exposed to unknown risks or liabilities associated with our acquisitions.

 

We may not be able to find and identify desirable acquisition targets or we may not be successful in entering into an agreement with any one target. Acquisitions could also result in dilutive issuances of equity securities or the incurrence of debt, which could harm our results of operations. In addition, if an acquired business fails to meet our expectations, our business, results of operations, and financial condition may suffer. In some cases, minority shareholders may exist in certain of our non-wholly-owned acquisitions and may retain minority shareholder rights which could make a future change of control or necessary corporate approvals for actions more difficult to achieve and/or more costly.

 

We may also make strategic investments in early-stage companies developing products or technologies that we believe could complement our business or expand our breadth, enhance our technical capabilities, or otherwise offer growth opportunities. These investments may be in early-stage private companies for restricted shares. Such investments are generally illiquid and may never generate value. Further, the companies in which we invest may not succeed, and our investments could lose their value.

 

Expanding internationally involves risks that could delay our expansion plans and/or prohibit us from entering markets in certain jurisdictions, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

 

At present, we have no immediate intention to expand our operations outside of North America. If we were to expand more broadly and pursue international operations, those operations would be subject to certain risks inherent in doing business abroad, including:

 

  political, civil and economic instability;

 

  corruption risks;

 

  trade, customs and tax risks;

 

  currency exchange rates and currency controls;

 

  limitations on the repatriation of funds;

 

  insufficient infrastructure;

 

  restrictions on exports, imports and foreign investment;

 

  increases in working capital requirements related to long supply chains;

 

  changes in labor laws and regimes and disagreements with the labor force;

 

  difficulty in protecting intellectual property rights and complying with data privacy and protection laws and regulations; and

 

  different and less established legal systems.

 

19

 

 

We will be dependent on our facilities. If one or more of our facilities become inoperative, capacity constrained or if operations are disrupted, our business, results of operations or financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

 

Our revenue will be dependent on the continued operations of our facilities, including our Greenville, North Carolina head office/processing facility and any other facilities we may develop in the future. To the extent that we experience any operational risk including, among other things, fire and explosions, severe weather and natural disasters (such as floods and hurricanes), failures in water supply, major power failures, equipment failures (including any failure of our information technology, air conditioning, and cooling and compressor systems), a cyber-attack or other incident, failures to comply with applicable regulations and standards, labor force and work stoppages, including those resulting from local or global pandemics or otherwise, or if our current or future facilities become capacity constrained, we may be required to make capital expenditures even though we may not have sufficient available resources at such time.

 

Additionally, there is no guarantee that the proceeds available from our insurance policies will be sufficient to cover such capital expenditures. Our insurance coverage and available resources may prove to be inadequate for events that may cause significant disruption to our operations. Any disruption in our recycling processes could result in production delays, scheduling problems, increased costs or production interruption, which, in turn, may result in our customers deciding to send their E-Waste feedstock to our competitors. We will be dependent on our future facilities, which will require a high degree of capital expenditures. If one or more of our future facilities become inoperative, capacity constrained or if operations are disrupted, our business, results of operations or financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

 

Our insurance coverage may prove inadequate, may not be available on acceptable terms, or may not cover all operating risks, which could leave us exposed to significant uninsured losses.

 

We carry property, general liability, environmental impairment, cyber-security and directors’ and officers’ insurance in amounts we believe are customary for a company at our stage of development. However, insurance markets for specialty recycling operations are limited, premiums are volatile, and policy exclusions can be significant. Certain catastrophic events—such as major equipment failure, chemical release, explosions, severe weather, natural disasters, terrorism or cyber-attacks—may be uninsurable, not economically insurable, or subject to sub-limits, high deductibles or coverage exclusions. If we were to incur a significant uninsured or under-insured loss, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected, and we might be forced to seek additional capital on unfavorable terms or cease the affected operations.

 

We may need to raise additional funds in the future to meet our capital requirements and such funds may not be available to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all, which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.

 

Our operations are highly capital-intensive. Although we believe that we will have sufficient funds to meet our capital requirements for the next 24 months, we may in the future need to raise additional funds, including through the issuance of equity, equity linked or debt securities or through obtaining credit from government or financial institutions, and the availability of additional funds to us will depend on a variety of factors, some of which are outside of our control. Additional funds may not be available to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all, which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. If additional funds are raised by issuing equity or equity-linked securities, our shareholders may incur dilution. As of March 31, 2026, we have also issued interest bearing promissory notes in the aggregate amount of $1,991,598 comprised of $1,732,962 in principal and $258,636 in accrued interest, due on demand, which sum shall be payable on demand at any time after the date of the issuance. We may not have sufficient funds to pay the amounts due under the outstanding promissory notes if payment is demanded prior to the completion of the Offering.

 

Our financial situation creates substantial doubt as to whether we will continue as a going concern.

 

We are a development stage company with no meaningful commercial revenues and incurred a net loss of $23,093,986 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, $38,368,833 for the year ended December 31, 2025, a net loss of $2,305,221 for the year ended December 31, 2024 and expect to incur a net loss for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, primarily as a result of the costs of listing, building processing plants as well as increased operating expenses to execute our business plan and growth strategy. There can be no assurances that we will be able to achieve a level of revenues adequate to generate sufficient cash flow from operations or obtain funding from this Offering or additional financing through private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing necessary to support our working capital requirements. To the extent that funds generated from any private placements, public offerings and/or bank financing are insufficient, we will have to raise additional working capital. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available, or if available, will be on acceptable terms. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If adequate working capital is not available, we may be forced to discontinue operations, which would cause investors to lose their entire investment.

 

20

 

 

Our business is subject to operational risks that could disrupt our business, some of which may not be insured or fully covered by insurance.

 

Our operations are subject to risks inherent in the E-Waste industry, including potential liability which could result from, among other circumstances, personal injury, environmental claims or property damage some of which may not be insured or fully covered by insurance. The availability of, and the ability to collect on, insurance coverage is subject to factors beyond our control and is not guaranteed to cover any or all of our losses in every circumstance. Our insurance coverage may also be inadequate to cover liabilities related to such operational risks. We have no control over changing conditions and pricing in the insurance marketplace and the cost or availability of various types of insurance may change dramatically in the future. Moreover, we may not be able to maintain adequate insurance in the future at rates we consider reasonable and commercial justifiable, and insurance may not continue to be available on terms as favorable as our current arrangements. The occurrence of a significant uninsured claim, or a claim in excess of the insurance coverage limits maintained by us could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

We are subject to the inherent risk of exposure to environmental pollution claims.

 

The electronics-recycling and metals-processing industries are subject to intense public and regulatory scrutiny regarding environmental justice, worker safety, greenhouse-gas emissions, water usage and supply-chain transparency. Non-governmental organizations, local community groups, labor activists, socially responsible investment funds or the media may allege, whether or not justified, that our operations, suppliers or customers have adverse environmental or social impacts. As a concentrator and refiner of E-Waste containing metals and user of chemical products, we face an inherent risk of exposure to pollution and environmental liability claims, regulatory action and litigation if our processes are alleged to have caused bodily harm or injury. Adverse reactions resulting from contamination of air, soil, and water sources could occur. We may be subject to various liability claims, including, among others, that our concentrator and refinery facilities caused injury or illness, including inadequate disposal of chemicals, discharge of chemicals into the air, possible side effects or interactions with such chemical substances. Liability claims or regulatory actions against us could result in increased costs, could adversely affect our reputation with our clients and consumers generally, and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. There can be no assurances that we will be able to obtain or maintain environmental liability insurance on acceptable terms or with adequate coverage against potential liabilities. Such insurance is expensive and may not be available in the future on acceptable terms, or at all. The inability to obtain sufficient insurance coverage on reasonable terms or to otherwise protect against potential liability claims could prevent or inhibit the concentration and processing of E-Waste and separation of minerals.

 

The mining and metal recycling industries face strong opposition.

 

Many political and social organizations oppose mining and mineral/metal recycling for their environmental risks. Our business will need support from local governments, industry participants, consumers and residents to be successful. Additionally, there are large, well-funded businesses and industry groups that may have a strong opposition to the mining and mineral/metal recycling industries. For example, the pharmaceutical and alcohol industries have traditionally opposed mining and mineral/metal recycling. Any efforts by these or other industries opposed to mining and mineral/metal recycling to halt or impede mining and mineral/metal recycling could have detrimental effects on our business.

 

Decreases and fluctuations in benchmark prices for the metals contained in our offtake could significantly impact our revenues and results of operations.

 

The prices that we obtain for our offtake are generally tied to commodity prices for their principal contained metals, such as gold, silver, copper and palladium. Fluctuations in the prices of these commodities will affect our revenues and declines in the prices of these commodities could have a material adverse impact on our revenues. Any significant decline in our revenues will have a material impact on our results of operations.

 

Fluctuations in commodities prices, such as the metals/minerals we are extracting from E-Waste, are caused by varied and complex factors beyond our control or the control of our suppliers, including global supply and demand balances and inventory levels; global economic and political conditions; international regulatory, trade and tax policies, including national tariffs; commodities investment activity and speculation; interest rates; the strength of the U.S. dollar compared to foreign currencies; the price and availability of substitute products; and changes in technology. Volatility in global economic growth, particularly in developing economies, has the potential to adversely affect future demand and prices for commodities. Geopolitical uncertainty and protectionism, such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the conflict between Israel and Hamas, and the new US tariff policy implemented in 2025, all have the potential to inhibit international trade and negatively impact business confidence, which creates the risk of constraints on our ability to trade in certain markets and has the potential to increase price volatility.

 

21

 

 

Metals and Mineral prices may be affected by supply from China, which has become the largest producer of minerals in the world, and by changes in demand for products that require certain minerals. Rising trade tensions between the U.S. and China and efforts by the Chinese government to reduce debt levels contributed to slowdowns in China’s growth. A continued slowing in China’s economic growth and demand and continued trade tensions between the U.S. and China could result in lower production of minerals and higher mineral prices which could have a material adverse impact on our operations, including cash flow and the ability to purchase raw materials from our suppliers if they raise prices as well. The adoption and expansion of trade restrictions, changes in the state of China-U.S. relations, including the current trade war, or other governmental action related to tariffs or trade agreements, or policies are difficult to predict and could adversely affect demand for our minerals, our costs, our customers, our suppliers, and the U.S. economy, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition. Additionally, our suppliers could be raising prices of materials which could in turn have a material adverse effect on our operations.

 

Disruptions in our supply chain could adversely affect our business.

 

Our initial commercial facility will rely on specialized shredders, sensor-based sorters, dissolution vessels, filtration systems, reagents and control software that are sourced from a small number of vendors, many of whom have long lead times or are located outside the United States. Global shortages of semiconductors, stainless steel, pumps, or critical reagents; transportation bottlenecks; trade restrictions; labor disputes; outbreaks of disease; or geopolitical tensions could delay delivery of equipment, increase capital expenditures, and impair our ability to achieve planned throughput rates. If key suppliers default, we may be unable to obtain suitable replacement components on acceptable terms, which could materially delay commissioning schedules and raise operating costs.

 

Global trade conditions, inflation and consumer trends that originated during the COVID-19 pandemic continue to persist and have created significant disruptions to the global supply chain, which may impact our ability to obtain equipment and other supplies necessary for our business on a timely basis and at anticipated costs. Any continued supply chain disruptions, inflation or shortages in the availability of equipment from our suppliers, could adversely affect our business and operating results. Circumstances such as another Pandemic, or a global recession may result in lost or delayed sales orders, as many of our targeted customers may cut back their proposed capital spending in the face of economic uncertainty and limited access to financing. This would impact the ability of us to grow our business and, as a result, sales orders may be lower than expected. Any decrease in sales would negatively impact our cash flows and other financial results. Different markets and different geographies in which we operate may be impacted to different extents, making it difficult to forecast the likely impact.

 

Our reliance on the experience and expertise of our management may cause adverse impacts to us if a management member departs.

 

Our success is dependent upon the ability, expertise, judgment, discretion and good faith of our senior management and key employees, including, without limitation: (i) Kuljit (Jeet) Basi, Director, Chief Executive Officer and President; (ii) Austin Thornberry, Chief Financial Officer; (iii) Darrell Campanella, General Manager; (iv) Chris Oppel, Production Manager; and (v) Mark Zorko, Chairman of the Board of Directors. Our business may be severely disrupted if we lose the services of our key executives and employees or fail to add new senior and middle managers to our management. Our future success is heavily dependent upon the continued service of our key executives. We also rely on a number of key technology staff for our continued operation. Our future success is also dependent upon our ability to attract and retain qualified senior and middle managers to our management team. If one or more of our current or future key executives or employees are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, we may not be able to easily replace them, and our business may be severely disrupted. In addition, if any of these key executives or employees joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we could lose customers and suppliers and incur additional expenses to recruit and train personnel.

 

22

 

 

We are subject to the risk of litigation or regulatory proceedings, which could impact our financial results.

 

All industries, including the E-Waste recycling industry, are subject to legal claims, with or without merit. We are not currently, nor have we ever been, party to any legal proceedings, but we could be involved in various litigation and regulatory proceedings arising in the normal course of business in the future. Due to the inherent uncertainty of the litigation process, we may not be able to predict with any reasonable degree of certainty the outcome of any litigation or the potential for future litigation. Regardless of the outcome, any legal or regulatory proceeding could have an adverse impact on our business, prospects, financial conditions, and operating results due to defense costs, the diversion of management resources and other factors.

 

We operate in an emerging, competitive industry and if we are unable to compete successfully our revenue and profitability will be adversely affected.

 

The E-Waste recycling market is competitive. As the industry evolves and the demand increases, we anticipate that competition will increase. We also compete against companies that have a substantial competitive advantage because of longer operating histories and larger budgets, as well as greater financial and other resources. National or global competitors could enter the market with more substantial financial and workforce resources, stronger existing customer relationships, and greater name recognition, or could choose to target medium to small companies in our traditional markets. Competitors could focus their substantial resources on developing a more efficient recovery solution than our solutions. Competition also places downward pressure on our contract prices and profit margins, which presents us with significant challenges in our ability to maintain strong growth rates and acceptable profit margins. If we are unable to meet these competitive challenges, we could lose market share to our competitors and experience an adverse impact to our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Increases in income tax rates, changes in income tax laws or disagreements with tax authorities could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

We are subject to income taxes in the United States and Canada. Increases in income tax rates or other changes in income tax laws that apply to our business could reduce our after-tax income from such jurisdiction and could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

Our operating and financial results may vary significantly from period to period due to fluctuations in our operating costs and other factors.

 

We expect our period-to-period operating and financial results to vary based on a multitude of factors, some of which are outside of our control. We expect our period-to-period financial results to vary based on operating costs, which we anticipate will fluctuate with the pace at which we increase our operating capacity. As a result of these factors and others, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our operating or financial results, especially in the short term, are not necessarily meaningful and that these comparisons cannot be relied upon as indicators of future performance. Moreover, our financial results may not meet the expectations of equity research analysts, ratings agencies, or investors, who may be focused only on quarterly financial results. If any of this occurs, the trading price of our Shares could fall substantially, either suddenly or over time.

 

We may not be able to achieve and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, a failure of which may prevent us from accurately reporting our financial results or detecting and preventing fraud.  

 

We are subject to reporting obligations under the U.S. securities laws.  We are required to prepare a management report on our internal control over financial reporting containing our management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.  In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm must report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.  Our management may conclude that our internal control over our financial reporting is not effective.  Moreover, even if our management concludes that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, our independent registered public accounting firm may conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective. Our reporting obligations as a public company may place a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources and systems for the foreseeable future.

 

23

 

 

Effective internal controls over financial reporting are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and, together with adequate disclosure controls and procedures, are designed to prevent fraud. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations.

 

A “material weakness” is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

 

In preparing our consolidated financial statements for the ended December 31, 2025, we and our independent registered public accounting firm identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as related to inappropriately designed and executed management review controls over both routine and subjective areas.

 

To remediate our material weaknesses, we expect to incur additional costs for addressing our material weaknesses and deficiencies. We intend to implement a remediation plan designed to strengthen the design, execution and documentation of our management review controls, which may include, among other things, enhancing the precision of review procedures, establishing formal review thresholds and expectations, documenting the specific evidence reviewed and conclusions reached by management, implementing standardized checklists and month-end close procedures, improving segregation of preparer and reviewer responsibilities, providing additional training to finance and accounting personnel, engaging external accounting or internal control advisors where appropriate, and increasing oversight by senior management and the audit committee. We expect to continue evaluating the operating effectiveness of these controls over future reporting periods and will consider the material weakness remediated only after the enhanced controls have been designed, implemented and operated effectively for a sufficient period.

 

Natural disasters, unusually adverse weather, epidemic or pandemic outbreaks, cyber incidents, boycotts and geopolitical events could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.

 

The occurrence of one or more natural disasters, such as fires, hurricanes and earthquakes, unusually adverse weather, epidemic or pandemic outbreaks, cyber incidents such as ransomware attacks, boycotts and geo-political events, such as tariffs, civil unrest and acts of terrorism (including cyber terrorism or other cyber incidents), or similar disruptions could materially adversely affect our business, power supply, results of operations or financial condition. These events could result in physical damage to property, an increase in energy prices, temporary or permanent closure of the Facility, temporary lack of an adequate workforce in a market, temporary or long-term disruption in the supply of raw materials, temporary disruption in transport from overseas, or disruption to our information systems. We may incur expenses or delays relating to such events outside of our control, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results and financial condition.

 

We may be subject to intellectual property rights claims by third parties, which could be costly to defend, could require payment of significant damages and could limit our ability to use certain technologies.

 

We are subject to the risk of third parties asserting claims of infringement of intellectual property rights or violation of other statutory, license or contractual rights in technology or data. Any such claim by a third party, even if without merit, could cause us to incur substantial costs defending against such claim and could distract our management and development teams from our business.

 

Although third parties may offer a license to their technology or data, the terms of any offered license may not be acceptable or commercially reasonable and the failure to obtain a license or the costs associated with any license could cause our business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results to be adversely affected. In addition, some licenses may be non-exclusive, and therefore our competitors may have access to the same technology or data licensed to us. Alternatively, we may be required to develop non-infringing technology or data, which could require significant effort and expense and ultimately may not be successful. Furthermore, a successful claimant could secure a judgment, or we may agree to a settlement that prevents us from selling certain products or performing certain services in a given country or countries or that requires us to pay royalties, substantial damages, including treble damages if we are found to have willfully infringed the claimant’s patents, copyrights, trade secrets or other statutory rights, or other fees. Any of these events could have an adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, and operating results.

 

24

 

 

The laws of some foreign countries do not protect proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States, and we may encounter significant problems and costs in protecting our proprietary rights in these foreign countries.

 

Directors, executive officers and consultants may be subject to conflicts of interest.

 

We may be subject to various potential conflicts of interest because of the fact that some of our officers, directors and consultants may be engaged in a range of business activities, including certain officers, directors and consultants that provide services to other companies involved material development. Our executive officers, directors and consultants may devote time to their outside business interests, so long as such activities do not materially or adversely interfere with their duties to us. In some cases, our executive officers, directors and consultants may have fiduciary obligations associated with these business interests that may interfere with their ability to devote time to our business and affairs and that could adversely affect our operations. In addition, we may also become involved in other transactions which conflict with the interests of our directors, officers and consultants who may from time to time deal with persons, firms, institutions or corporations with which we may be dealing, or which may be seeking investments similar to those desired by us. The interests of these persons could conflict with ours. Conflicts of interest, if any, will be subject to the procedures and remedies provided under applicable laws. In particular, in the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of our directors, a director who has such a conflict will abstain from voting for or against the approval of such participation or such terms. In accordance with applicable laws, our directors are required to act honestly, in good faith and in our best interests.

 

We could be subject to a security breach that could result in significant damage or theft of products and equipment.

 

We rely on sophisticated information technology systems to operate our plants, manage inventory, control proprietary process parameters, and safeguard commercially sensitive and personal data. Breaches of security at our facilities may occur and could result in damage to or theft of products and equipment which is not covered by any of our insurance policies. A security breach at our facilities could result in a significant loss of inventory or work in process, expose us to liability under applicable regulations and increase expenses relating to the investigation of the breach and implementation of additional preventative security measures, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, we must comply with an increasingly complex web of U.S. federal, state and foreign data-protection laws. Failure to comply, or to timely implement new requirements, could result in significant penalties and litigation.

 

If we sustain cyber-attacks or other privacy or data security incidents that result in security breaches that disrupt our operations or result in the unintended dissemination of protected personal information or proprietary or confidential information, or if we are found by regulators to be non-compliant with statutory requirements for the protection and storage of personal data, we could suffer a loss of revenue, increased costs, exposure to significant liability, reputational harm and other serious negative consequences.

 

As our operations expand, we may process, store and transmit large amounts of data in our operations, including protected personal information as well as proprietary or confidential information relating to our business and third parties. Experienced computer programmers and hackers may be able to penetrate our layered security controls and misappropriate or compromise our protected personal information or proprietary or confidential information or that of third parties, create system disruptions or cause system shutdowns. They also may be able to develop and deploy viruses, worms and other malicious software programs that attack our systems or otherwise exploit any security vulnerabilities. Hardware, software, or applications we develop or procure from third parties may contain defects in design or manufacture or other problems that could unexpectedly compromise information security. Our facilities may also be vulnerable to security incidents or security attacks, acts of vandalism or theft, coordinated attacks by activist entities, misplaced or lost data, human errors, or other similar events that could negatively affect our systems and our customer’s data.

Risks Related to our Regulatory Framework

 

Our business is subject to environmental and employee health and safety regulations and risks.

 

Our operations are subject to environmental and safety laws and regulations concerning, among other things, emissions and discharges to water, air and land, the handling and disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous materials and wastes, and employee health and safety. We will incur ongoing costs and obligations related to compliance with environmental and employee health and safety matters. Failure to comply with environmental and safety laws and regulations may result in additional costs for corrective measures, penalties or in restrictions on our operations. Government approvals and permits are currently and may in the future be required in connection with our operations. To the extent such approvals are required and not obtained, we may be curtailed from proceeding with the development of our operations as currently proposed.

 

There are risks associated with the regulatory regime and permitting requirements of our operations.

 

Achievement of our business objectives is contingent, in part, upon compliance with regulatory requirements enacted by governmental authorities and obtaining all regulatory approvals, where necessary, for the concentration and metal separation and sale of our products. As our only facility in operation is our pilot and demonstration plant in Greenville, North Carolina, we must comply with local and State ambient air quality standards in respect to emissions from any stack, vent, or outlet, of sulfur oxides, suspended particulates, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, etc. Furthermore, we must comply with National Ambient Air Quality Standards (“NAAQS”), water quality standards under the Clean Water Act and local noise regulations. We may not be able to obtain or maintain the necessary licenses, permits, quotas, authorizations, certifications or accreditations to operate our business going forward, or may only be able to do so at great cost. We cannot predict the time required to secure all appropriate regulatory approvals for our concentrator and purification plants, or the extent of testing and documentation that may be required by local governmental authorities in other states and other countries.

 

Our officers and directors must rely, to a great extent, on our local legal counsel and local consultants retained in such jurisdictions in order to keep abreast of material legal, regulatory and governmental developments as they pertain to and affect our business operations, and to assist us with governmental relations. We must rely, to some extent, on those members of management and the Board of Directors who have previous experience working and conducting business in the United States or abroad in order to enhance our understanding of and appreciation for the local business culture and practices in such jurisdictions.

 

We also rely on the advice of local experts and professionals in connection with any current and new regulations that develop in respect of banking, financing and tax matters in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Any developments or changes in such legal, regulatory or governmental requirements or in local business practices in such jurisdictions are beyond our control and may adversely affect our business.

 

We will incur ongoing costs and obligations related to regulatory compliance. Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions. We may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of our operations and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations. In addition, changes in regulations, more vigorous enforcement thereof or other unanticipated events could require extensive changes to our operations, increased compliance costs or give rise to material liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

26

 

 

Any failure on our part to comply with applicable regulations or to obtain and maintain the necessary licenses and certifications could prevent us from being able to carry on our business, and there may be additional costs associated with any such failure.

 

Our business activities are heavily regulated in all jurisdictions where we will do business. Our operations are subject to various laws, regulations and guidelines by governmental authorities relating to the handling, processing, management, distribution, transportation, storage, sale, and disposal of chemicals and minerals. In addition, we are subject to laws and regulations relating to employee health and safety, insurance coverage and the environment. Laws and regulations, applied generally, grant government agencies and self-regulatory bodies broad administrative discretion over our activities, including the power to limit or restrict business activities as well as impose additional disclosure requirements on our materials and products.

 

Any failure by us to comply with applicable regulatory requirements could:

 

  require extensive changes to our operations;

 

  result in regulatory or agency proceedings or investigations;

 

  result in the revocation of our licenses and permits, the imposition of additional conditions on licenses to operate our business, and increased compliance costs;

 

  result in damage awards, civil or criminal fines or penalties;

 

  result in the suspension or expulsion from a particular market or jurisdiction of our key personnel;

 

  result in restrictions on our operations or the imposition of additional or more stringent inspection, testing and reporting requirements;

 

  harm our reputation; or

 

  give rise to material liabilities.

 

There can be no assurance that any future regulatory or agency proceedings, investigations or audits will not result in substantial costs, a diversion of management’s attention and resources or other adverse consequences to our business.

 

In addition, changes in regulations, government or judicial interpretation of regulations, or more vigorous enforcement thereof or other unanticipated events could require extensive changes to our operations, increase compliance costs or give rise to material liabilities or a revocation of our licenses and other permits. Furthermore, governmental authorities may change their administration, application or enforcement procedures at any time, which may adversely affect our ongoing regulatory compliance costs. There is no assurance that we will be able to comply or continue to comply with applicable regulations.

 

We cannot predict the impact of any new environmental laws or regulations or of changes in current environmental laws or regulations on our business and operations in the future.

 

We believe we possess all material environmental permits and licenses necessary for the operation of our business and that our operations will be in substantial compliance with the terms of all applicable environmental laws and regulations. We cannot predict the impact of any new environmental laws or regulations or of changes in current environmental laws or regulations on our operations. The government may in future take steps towards the adoption of more stringent environmental regulations in respect of our business. Due to the possibility of unanticipated regulatory or other developments, the amount and timing of future environmental expenditures may vary substantially from those currently anticipated. If there is any unanticipated change in the environmental regulations, we may need to incur substantial capital expenditures to install, replace, upgrade or supplement our equipment or make operational changes to limit any adverse impact or potential adverse impact on the environment in order to comply with any new environmental protection laws and regulations. If such costs become prohibitively expensive, this may adversely affect our business operations.

Risks Related to our Shares and this Offering

 

The trading price of our Shares could be subject to wide fluctuations due to a variety of factors, including:

 

  our actual or anticipated operating performance and the operating performance of our competitors;

 

  failure of securities analysts to initiate or maintain coverage of us, changes in financial estimates by any securities analysts who follow our company, or our failure to meet the estimates or the expectations of investors;

 

  any major change in our Board of Directors, management, or key personnel;

 

  market conditions in our industry;

 

  general economic conditions such as recessions, interest rates, fuel prices, trade policies, international currency fluctuations;

 

  the effectiveness of the Company’s marketing efforts;

 

  rumors and market speculation involving us or other companies in our industry;

 

  announcements by us or our competitors of significant innovations, new products, services or capabilities, acquisitions, strategic investments, partnerships, joint venture or capital commitments;

 

  the legal and regulatory landscape and changes in the application of existing laws or adoption of new laws that impact our business;

 

  legal and regulatory claims, litigation, or pre-litigation disputes and other proceedings;

 

  other events or factors, including those resulting from war, incidents of terrorism, or responses to these events; and

 

  sales or expected sales of our Shares by us, our officers, directors, significant shareholders, and employees.

 

In addition, stock markets have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. The stock market in general and NYSE American have experienced price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the particular companies affected. These fluctuations may be even more pronounced in the trading market for our Shares as a result of the supply and demand forces for newly public companies. In the past, shareholders have instituted securities class action litigation following periods of share volatility.

 

Holders of our Investor Rights Warrants may exert significant control over us, which may limit your ability to influence corporate matters and may give rise to conflicts of interest.

 

As of the date of this Offering Circular, holders of our Investor Rights Warrants (as defined herein) held 9,705,696 Investor Rights Warrants representing 63.6% of our combined shares and Investor Rights Warrants. One holder, Blue Bird Capital Enterprises, LLC (“Blue Bird”) held 33.6% of our Investor Rights Warrants. The Investor Rights Warrants will automatically convert on a cashless basis to Shares or, assuming at least one of the IRA Warrant Triggers (as defined herein) is satisfied, IRA Unit Warrants, upon completion of this Offering and assuming an Offering Price of $4.25 and a $0.34 (C$0.425) exercise price, holders of the Investor Rights Warrants will receive 0.92 Shares or 0.92 IRA Unit Warrants, as applicable, per Investor Rights Warrant held, subject to the IRA Blocker (as defined herein). Each IRA Unit Warrant will automatically convert into additional Shares on a cashless basis upon closing of this Offering and assuming an Offering Price of $4.25 and a $0.085 (C$0.106) exercise price, holders of the Investor Rights Warrants will receive 0.98 Shares per IRA Unit Warrant held, subject to the IRA Blocker provisions. Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, holders of our Investor Rights Warrants shall be entitled to receive notice of and to attend any meeting of the shareholders of the Company and to vote on any matter at any meetings of shareholders of the Company. The Investor Rights Agreement will terminate upon completion of the Offering, and consequently, the voting rights granted under the Investor Rights Agreement to the holders of the Investor Rights Warrants will also terminate at such time. Each Investor Rights Warrant entitles the holder thereof to one vote per Investor Rights Warrant. Further, the holders of our Investor Rights Warrants, through their Warrantholder Representative, Kuljit (Jeet) Basi, shall be entitled to nominate three (3) directors to the Board subject to the provisions of the Investor Rights Agreement. See a discussion of the Investor Rights Agreement under “Business — Recent Developments.” Accordingly, holders of our Investor Rights Warrants will exert significant influence over us and any action requiring the approval of our shareholders and/or our Board prior to completion of the Offering. Significant holders of our Investor Rights Warrants, whose Investor Rights Warrants will automatically convert into Shares upon the closing of the Offering will continue to exert significant influence over us and any action requiring the approval of our shareholders following completion of the Offering. Furthermore, the interests of the holders of our Investor Rights Warrants may not always coincide with your interests or the interests of other shareholders and they may, prior to the completion of this Offering, act in a manner that advances their best interests and not necessarily those of other shareholders.

 

28

 

 

Holders of our Convertible Debentures may exert significant control over us, which may limit your ability to influence corporate matters and may give rise to conflicts of interest.

 

On April 7, 2022, the Company issued (herein, the “2022 Debenture Offering”) $3,331,390 principal amount of 5% unsecured convertible debentures (“2022 Debentures”) in a private placement. The 2022 Debentures were issued pursuant to an indenture made as of April 7, 2022, as supplemented May 26, 2025 (the “2022 Debenture Indenture”), between the Company and Computershare Trust Company of Canada (“Computershare”) as trustee. The 2022 Debenture Indenture provides that in the event that we complete a U.S. listing, such as this Offering, the principal amount of the 2022 Debentures plus any accrued unpaid interest will automatically convert into Shares at a conversion price equal to the lessor of (A) a 40% discount to the Offering Price, and (B) $5.00, and shall be subject to a six (6) month hold period from the listing of the Shares on a stock exchange in the United States. Up to 50% of the securities subject to the six (6) month hold period may be released early in accordance with the Pooling Agreement.

 

On August 31, 2022, we entered into the Convertible Debentures IRA, pursuant to which holders of our Convertible Debentures shall be entitled to receive notice of and to attend any meeting of the shareholders of the Company and to vote on any matter at any meetings of shareholders of the Company. For the purpose of the Convertible Debentures IRA, each $2.40 of Convertible Debentures is equal to one Share, entitling the holder thereof to one vote. See a discussion of the Convertible Debentures IRA under “Business — Recent Developments.” Accordingly, holders of our Convertible Debentures will exert significant influence over us and any action requiring the approval of our shareholders and/or our Board prior to the completion of this Offering and conversion of the Debentures into Shares. Furthermore, the interests of the holders of our Debentures may not always coincide with your interests or the interests of other shareholders and they may, prior to the completion of this Offering, act in a manner that advances their best interests and not necessarily those of other shareholders.

 

On June 28, 2024, the Company issued $92,300 principal amount of 5% unsecured convertible debentures (the “2024 Debentures") in a private placement (the “2024 Debenture Offering"). The 2024 Debentures bear interest at five percent (5%) per annum. The 2024 Debentures are due thirty-six (36) months following their issuance (on June 28, 2027). The 2024 Debenture Indenture executed in relation to the 2024 Debentures also provides that in the event the Company completes a U.S. listing (such as the Offering), the principal amount plus any accrued unpaid interest will automatically convert into Shares at a conversion price equal to the lessor of (A) a 40% discount to the Offering Price, and (B) $5.00. In connection with the 2024 Debenture Offering, the Company paid $2,100 in commissions to an investment dealer/broker.

 

We are a foreign private issuer and intend to take advantage of the less frequent and less detailed reporting obligations applicable to foreign private issuers.

 

We are a “foreign private issuer”, as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, and are not subject to the same requirements that are imposed upon U.S. domestic issuers by the SEC. Under the Exchange Act, we will be subject to reporting obligations that, in certain respects, are less detailed and less frequent than those of U.S. domestic reporting companies. As a result, we will not file the same reports that a U.S. domestic issuer would file with the SEC, although we will be required to file with or furnish to the SEC the continuous disclosure documents that we are required to file in Canada under Canadian securities laws. In addition, as a result of the HFIAA our executive officers and directors will be required to report transactions in our equity securities in accordance with section 16(a) of the Exchange Act upon our class of common shares becoming registered pursuant to section 12 of the Exchange Act, however, on March 5, 2026, the SEC issued an order exempting directors and officers of a Canadian issuer that is a foreign private issuer, which is subject to Canada’s National Instrument 55-104 – Insider Reporting Requirements and Exemptions and National Instrument 55-102 – System for Electronic Disclosure by Insiders, from having to report under section 16(a) of the Exchange Act if the directors or officers are (i) required to report transactions in the issuer’s securities pursuant to such securities laws, and (ii) any report filed pursuant to such securities laws must be made publicly available in English within two business days of public posting. Also, our executive officers and directors will continue to be exempt from the short-swing profit liability provisions contained in section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. Therefore, since the SEC has granted an exemption for foreign private issuers whose insiders are subject to SEDI filing requirements in Canada, our shareholders may not know on as timely a basis when our officers, directors and principal shareholders purchase or sell shares, as the reporting deadlines under the corresponding Canadian insider reporting requirements are longer.

 

29

 

 

As a foreign private issuer, we will be exempt from the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act related to the furnishing and content of proxy statements. We will also be exempt from Regulation FD, which prohibits issuers from making selective disclosures of material non-public information. While we will comply with the corresponding requirements relating to proxy statements and disclosure of material non-public information under Canadian securities laws, these requirements differ from those under the Exchange Act and Regulation FD and shareholders should not expect to receive the same information at the same time as such information is provided by U.S. domestic companies. In addition, we will have more time than U.S. domestic companies after the end of each fiscal year to file our annual report with the SEC and will not be required under the Exchange Act to file quarterly reports with the SEC.

 

In addition, as a foreign private issuer, we have the option to follow certain Canadian corporate governance practices, except to the extent that such laws would be contrary to U.S. securities laws, and provided that we disclose the requirements we are not following and describe the Canadian practices we follow instead. We may in the future elect to follow home country practices in Canada with regard to certain corporate governance matters.

 

As a result, our shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of U.S. domestic companies that are subject to all corporate governance requirements.

 

We may lose our status as a foreign private issuer in the United States, which would result in increased costs related to regulatory compliance under United States securities laws.

 

We will cease to qualify as a “foreign private issuer,” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act and Rule 3b-4 under the Exchange Act, if, as of the last business day of our second fiscal quarter, more than 50% of our outstanding Shares are directly or indirectly owned by residents of the United States and any of the following three circumstances applies: (i) the majority of our executive officers or directors are U.S. citizens or residents; (ii) more than 50% of our assets are located in the United States; or (iii) our business is administered principally in the United States. If we determine that we fail to qualify as a foreign private issuer, we will cease to be eligible to avail ourselves of the forms and rules designated for foreign private issuers beginning on the first day of the fiscal year following such determination. Among other things, this will result in loss of the exemption from registration under the Exchange Act provided by Rule 12g3-2(b) thereunder, and, if we are required to register our Shares under section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, we will have to do so as a domestic issuer. Further, any securities that we issue in unregistered or unqualified offerings both within and outside the United States will be “restricted securities” (as defined in Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act) and will continue to be subject to United States resale restrictions notwithstanding their resale in “offshore transactions” pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. As a practical matter, this will likely require us to register more offerings of our securities under the Securities Act on either a primary offering or resale basis, even if they take place entirely outside the United States. The resulting legal and administrative costs of complying with the resulting regulatory requirements are anticipated to be substantial, and to subject us to additional exposure to liability for which we may not be able to obtain insurance coverage on favorable terms, or at all.

 

After the completion of this Offering, we may be at an increased risk of securities class action litigation.

 

Historically, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company following a decline in the market price of its securities. If the price of our Shares decreases and we were sued, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could harm our business.

 

Listing our Shares on a securities exchange will increase our regulatory burden.

 

We have applied to have our Shares listed for trading on NYSE American under the symbol “MDRN.” There is no guarantee that our application will be approved in connection with this Offering. Although to date we have not been subject to the continuous and timely disclosure requirements of exchange rules, regulations and policies of the NYSE American, we are working with our legal, accounting and financial advisors to identify those areas in which changes should be made to our financial management control systems to manage our obligations as a public company listed on NYSE American. These areas include corporate governance, corporate controls, disclosure controls and procedures and financial reporting and accounting systems. We have made, and will continue to make, changes in these and other areas, including our internal controls over financial reporting. However, we cannot assure holders of our Shares that these and other measures that we might take will be sufficient to allow us to satisfy our obligations as a public company listed on NYSE American on a timely basis and that we will be able to achieve and maintain compliance with applicable listing requirements. In addition, compliance with reporting and other requirements applicable to public companies listed on NYSE American will create additional costs for us and will require the time and attention of management. We cannot predict the amount of the additional costs that we might incur, the timing of such costs or the effects that management’s attention to these matters will have on our business.

 

30

 

 

NYSE American may delist our Shares, which could limit investors’ ability to engage in transactions in our Shares and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

 

If NYSE American were to delist our Shares as a result of a failure to meet its listing requirements, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

 

  a limited availability of market quotations for our Shares;

 

  a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for the Company; and

 

  a decreased ability to obtain capital or pursue acquisitions by issuing additional equity or convertible securities.

 

We will incur increased costs as a result of operating as a public company and our management will be required to devote substantial time to new compliance initiatives.

 

As a public company, particularly after we are no longer an emerging growth company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and rules implemented by the SEC and NYSE American, impose various requirements on public companies, including requirements to file periodic and event-driven reports with respect to our business and financial condition and operations and establish and maintain effective disclosure and financial controls and corporate governance practices. Our management and other personnel have limited experience operating a public company, which may result in operational inefficiencies or errors, or a failure to improve or maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures necessary to ensure timely and accurate reporting of operational and financial results. Our existing management team will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives, and we may need to hire additional personnel to assist us with compliance. Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time consuming and costly.

 

Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we will be required to furnish a report by our management on our ICFR, which, after we are no longer an emerging growth company, may be accompanied by an attestation report on ICFR issued by our independent registered public accounting firm if we are an “accelerated filer” or a “large accelerated filer” under the Exchange Act. To achieve compliance with Section 404 within the prescribed period, we will document and evaluate our ICFR, which is both costly and challenging. In this regard, we will need to continue to dedicate internal resources, potentially engage outside consultants, and adopt a detailed work plan to assess and document the adequacy of our ICFR, continue steps to improve control processes as appropriate, validate through testing that controls are functioning as documented, and implement a continuous reporting and improvement process for ICFR. If our management and/or auditors determine that there are one or more material weaknesses in our ICFR, such a determination could cause an adverse reaction in the financial markets due to a loss of confidence in the reliability of our consolidated financial statements.

 

In addition, changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure are creating uncertainty for public companies, increasing legal and financial compliance costs and making some public company required activities more time consuming. These laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, in many cases due to their lack of specificity and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. We intend to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and divert management’s time and attention from revenue generating activities to compliance activities. If our efforts to comply with new laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies, regulatory authorities may initiate legal proceedings against us and our business may be harmed.

 

We also expect that being a public company and complying with applicable rules and regulations will make it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified executive officers and members of our Board.

 

31

 

 

We may issue additional Shares or other equity securities without shareholder approval, which would dilute the ownership interests of existing shareholders in the Company and may depress the market price of our Shares.

 

We may issue additional Shares or other equity securities in the future in connection with, among other things, capital raises, future acquisitions, repayment of outstanding indebtedness or grants under our 2022 Plan without shareholder approval in a number of circumstances. The issuance of additional Shares or other equity securities could have one or more of the following effects:

 

  our existing shareholders’ proportionate ownership will decrease;

 

  the amount of cash available per share, including for payment of dividends in the future, may decrease;

 

  the relative voting strength of each previously issued and outstanding Share may be diminished; and

 

  the market price of our Shares may decline.

 

Our ability to meet expectations and projections in any research or reports published by securities or industry analysts, or a lack of coverage by securities or industry analysts, could result in a depressed market price and limited liquidity for our Shares.

 

The trading market for our Shares will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about us, our business, our market, or our competitors. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of us, our share price would likely be less than that which would be obtained if we had such coverage and the liquidity, or trading volume of our Shares may be limited, making it more difficult for a shareholder to sell shares at an acceptable price or amount. If any analysts do cover us, their projections may vary widely and may not accurately predict the results we actually achieve. Our share price may decline if our actual results do not match the projections of research analysts covering us. Similarly, if one or more of the analysts who write reports on us downgrades our shares or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our share price could decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of us or fails to publish reports on us regularly, our share price or trading volume could decline.

 

We may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on our financial condition, results of operations and share price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

 

We may be forced to later write down or write off assets, restructure our operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in losses. Unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and not have an immediate impact on our liquidity, the fact that we may report charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about our or its securities. In addition, charges of this nature may cause us to be unable to obtain future financing on favorable terms or at all.

 

We should be treated as a U.S. corporation for all U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

Section 7874 of the of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), provides a rule pursuant to which a foreign-incorporated entity may, in certain circumstances, be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such corporation an “inverted corporation.” We should be treated as an inverted corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 7874 of the Code. This means that, notwithstanding that we are a company incorporated in Canada, we should be treated for all U.S. federal income tax purposes as if we are a U.S. corporation and you will be treated for all U.S. federal income tax purposes as holding the shares of a U.S. corporation. As such, we should be subject to U.S. federal income tax as If we were organized under the laws of the United States or a state thereof. Generally, we should be required to file a U.S. federal income tax return annually with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. We are also subject to tax in Canada. It is unclear how the foreign tax credit rules under the Code will operate in certain circumstances, given our treatment as a U.S. domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the taxation of the Company in Canada. Accordingly, it is possible that we will be subject to double taxation with respect to all or part of our taxable income.

 

32

 

 

The rules under Section 7874 are complex and require analysis of all relevant facts and circumstances, and there is limited guidance and significant uncertainties as to aspects of their application. If it were determined that we should be taxed as a foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 7874 of the Code, the U.S. federal income tax consequences described herein could be materially and adversely affected. For example, U.S. Holders (as defined below in “Material Tax Considerations — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”) could be subject to the rules applicable to passive foreign investment companies. Beneficial owners of our shares should consult their own tax advisors with respect the tax consequences if we were classified as a foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The remainder of this Offering Circular assumes that we will be treated for all U.S. federal income tax purposes as if we are a U.S. corporation. For a more detailed discussion on tax considerations, see “Material Tax Considerations — Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” below.

 

We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

 

We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our Shares and do not currently intend to do so in the foreseeable future. We currently anticipate that we will retain future earnings for the development, operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, the success of an investment in our Shares will depend upon any future appreciation in their value. There is no guarantee that our Shares will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which you purchased them.

 

This Offering is being conducted on a “best efforts” basis and we may not be able to execute our growth strategy if the $39,999,997 maximum is not sold.

 

If you invest in our Shares and less than all of the offered Shares are sold, the risk of losing your entire investment will be increased. We are offering our Shares on a “best efforts” basis and we can give no assurance that all of the offered Shares will be sold. If less than $39,999,997 of Shares are sold, we may be unable to fund all the intended uses described in this Offering Circular from the net proceeds anticipated from this Offering without obtaining funds from alternative sources or using working capital that we generate. Alternative sources of funding may not be available to us at what we consider to be a reasonable cost, and the working capital generated by us may not be sufficient to fund any uses not financed by the net proceeds of this Offering. No assurance can be given to you that any funds will be invested in this Offering other than your own.

 

This is a fixed price offering and the fixed offering price may not accurately represent the current value of us or our assets at any particular time. Therefore, the purchase price you pay for our shares may not be supported by the value of our assets at the time of your purchase.

 

This is a fixed price offering, which means that the offering price for the Shares is fixed and will not vary based on the underlying value of our assets at any time. Our board of directors has determined the offering price in its sole discretion without the input of an investment bank or other third party. The fixed offering price for the Shares has not been based on appraisals of any assets we own or may own, or of our Company as a whole, nor do we intend to obtain such appraisals. Therefore, the fixed offering price established for the Shares may not be supported by the current value of our Company or our assets at any particular time.

As our initial public offering price is substantially higher than our net tangible book value per share, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution.

 

If you purchase Shares in this Offering, you will pay more for your Shares than the amount paid by our existing stockholders for their shares on a per share basis. As a result, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution in net tangible book value per share in relation to the price that you paid for your Shares. We expect the dilution as a result of the offering to be $3.40 Per Share to new investors purchasing our Shares in this Offering. In addition, you will experience further dilution to the extent that we issue Shares upon the exercise of any warrants, including the Agent Warrants issued in this Offering, or exercise of stock options under any stock incentive plans. See “Dilution” for a more complete description of how the value of your investment in our Shares will be diluted upon completion of this Offering.

 

Using a credit card to purchase Shares may impact the return on your investment as well as subject you to other risks inherent in this form of payment.

 

Investors in this Offering may have the option of paying for their investment with a credit card, which is not usual in the traditional investment markets. Transaction fees charged by your credit card company (which can reach 5% of transaction value if considered a cash advance) and interest charged on unpaid card balances (which can reach almost 25% in some states) add to the effective purchase price of the Shares you buy. The cost of using a credit card may also increase if you do not make the minimum monthly card payments and incur late fees. Using a credit card is a relatively new form of payment for securities and will subject you to other risks inherent in this form of payment, including that, if you fail to make credit card payments (e.g. minimum monthly payments), you risk damaging your credit score and payment by credit card may be more susceptible to abuse than other forms of payment. Moreover, where a third-party payment processor is used, as in this Offering, your recovery options in the case of disputes may be limited. The increased costs due to transaction fees and interest may reduce the return on your investment.

 

The SEC’s Office of Investor Education and Advocacy issued an Investor Alert dated February 14, 2018, entitled: Credit Cards and Investments – A Risky Combination, which explains these and other risks you may want to consider before using a credit card to pay for your investment.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Offering Circular contains forward-looking statements. In addition, from time to time, we or our representatives may make forward-looking statements orally or in writing. We base these forward-looking statements on our expectations and projections about future events, which we derive from the information currently available to us. Such forward-looking statements relate to future events or our future performance, including: our financial performance and projections; our growth in revenue and earnings; and our business prospects and opportunities. You can identify forward-looking statements by those that are not historical in nature, particularly those that use terminology such as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “contemplates,” “estimates,” “believes,” “plans,” “projected,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “hopes” or the negative of these or similar terms. In evaluating these forward-looking statements, you should consider various factors, including: our ability to change the direction of the Company; our ability to keep pace with new technology and changing market needs; and the competitive environment of our business. These and other factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement. Forward-looking statements are only predictions. The forward-looking events discussed in this document and other statements made from time to time by us or our representatives, may not occur, and actual events and results may differ materially and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us. We are not obligated to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed in this document and other statements made from time to time by us or our representatives might not occur.

 

While we believe we have identified material risks, these risks and uncertainties are not exhaustive. Other sections of this Offering Circular describe additional factors that could adversely impact our business and financial performance. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all risks and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this Offering Circular include, without limitation:

 

  we have a limited operating history in an evolving industry, making it difficult for us to forecast revenue, plan expenses, and evaluate our business and future prospects;
 

we have a history of losses and we may never achieve profitability;

 

 

our ability to raise capital and the availability of future financing;

 

 

our business involves significant risks and uncertainties that may not be covered by insurance;

 

 

our business with governmental entities is subject to the policies, regulations, mandates, and funding levels of such entities and may be negatively impacted by any change thereto;

 

  we operate in competitive industries in various jurisdictions across the world;

 

  our revenue depends on maintaining and increasing feedstock of E-Waste (as defined herein) supply commitments as well as securing new customers and off-take agreements;

 

  in addition to commodity prices, our revenues will be primarily driven by the volume and composition of E-Waste feedstock materials to be processed at our future facilities and changes in the volume or composition of E-Waste feedstock processed could significantly impact our revenues and results of operations;

 

  our success will depend on our ability to economically source, extract and recover E-Waste, and to meet the market demand for sustainable and environmentally driven solutions for E-Waste processing;

 

  we may not be able to successfully implement our growth strategy, on a timely basis or at all;

 

  the development of our Greenville, North Carolina facility, and future projects, if any, are subject to risks, including with respect to engineering, permitting, procurement, construction, commissioning and ramp-up, and we cannot guarantee that these projects will be completed in a timely manner, that our costs will not be significantly higher than estimated, or that the completed projects will meet expectations with respect to their productivity or the specifications of their and products, among others;

 

  we may be unable to manage future growth effectively;

 

35

 

 

  our inability to materially increase recycling capacity and efficiency could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition;

 

  future acquisitions and strategic investments could be difficult to integrate, diver the attention of key management personnel, disrupt our business, dilute shareholder value, and harm our results of operations and financial conditions;

 

  expanding internationally involves risks that could delay our expansion plans and/or prohibit us from entering markets in certain jurisdictions, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
 

our ability to obtain or maintain the necessary permits, licenses, or regulatory approvals required to operate or expand our business;

 

 

changes in laws, regulations, or their enforcement could require costly operational changes or result in material liabilities;

 

 

significant shareholders, including holders of Investor Rights Warrants and Convertible Debentures, may exert substantial control over us, potentially leading to conflicts of interest with our shareholders;

 

 

as a foreign private issuer, we are subject to less stringent U.S. reporting and governance requirements, which may reduce transparency and shareholder protections compared to U.S. domestic companies;

 

 

listing on NYSE American will increase our regulatory burden and compliance costs, and failure to meet listing requirements could result in delisting and reduced liquidity for our Common Shares;

 

 

the issuance of additional shares or equity securities without shareholder approval, will dilute existing shareholders’ ownership and potentially depressing the price of our Common Shares; and

 

  the treatment of us as a U.S. corporation for federal tax purposes, could potentially result in double taxation and complex tax compliance obligations.

 

Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We are under no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this Offering Circular to conform our prior statements to actual results or revised expectations, and we do not intend to do so.

 

Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:

 

  current or future financial performance;

 

  management’s plans and objectives for future operations;

 

  uncertainties associated with product research and development;

 

  uncertainties associated with dependence upon the actions of government regulatory agencies;

 

  product plans and performance;

 

  management’s assessment of market factors; and

 

  statements regarding our strategy and plans.

 

We caution you not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Offering Circular.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

Assuming a maximum raise of $39,999,997, we estimate that the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares in this Offering will be approximately $34,821,663, after deducting underwriting commissions and estimated Offering expenses. If we raise the minimum amount required to satisfy the Minimum Quantitative Standards of $15 million, we estimate that the net proceeds we will receive from this offering will be approximately $12,580,000.

 

We intend to use the net proceeds from this Offering for the following purposes: (i) capital expenditures (50%), (ii) working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include repayment of one or more of certain interest bearing promissory notes that are payable on demand, in the event we do not have any other available capital (30%), (iii) marketing expenditures (15%) and (iv) research and development expenses (5%). Notwithstanding the foregoing, we and the Selling Agent and RCC are offering the Shares on a “best efforts” basis and are not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of Shares in this Offering. As such, we, the Selling Agent and RCC may sell less than the maximum number of Shares offered hereby, and we may receive net proceeds of less than $34,821,663.

(4)Minimum Offering Amount.

 

We believe that the expected net proceeds from this Offering and our existing cash, will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months, although we cannot assure you that this will occur.

 

The expected use of the net proceeds from this Offering represents our intentions based upon our current plans, financial condition and business conditions. Predicting the cost to be used in Modern Mining Technology Corp. and its subsidiaries’ businesses can be difficult and the amounts and timing of their actual expenditures may vary significantly depending on numerous factors including the status of our development efforts, sales and marketing activities and the amount of cash generated or used by our operations. We may find it necessary or advisable to use portions of the proceeds for other purposes. As a result, Modern Mining Technology Corp.’s management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from this Offering.

 

Pending our use of the net proceeds from this Offering, we intend to invest the net proceeds in short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing instruments, and government securities. We will not close this Offering until we can establish that the Offering meets the Minimum Quantitative Standards, however, we cannot assure that all or any portion of the Common Shares will be sold.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

 

Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Shares. The initial public offering price has been determined by negotiation between us, the Selling Agent and RCC. The principal factors considered in determining the initial public offering price include:

 

  the information set forth in this Offering Circular and otherwise available to the Selling Agent and RCC;

 

  our history and prospects and the history of and prospects for the industry in which we compete;

 

  our past and present financial performance;

 

  our prospects for future earnings and the present state of our development;

 

  an assessment of our management;

  the recent market prices of, and demand for, publicly traded common stock of generally comparable companies; and

 

  other factors deemed relevant by the Selling Agent, RCC and us. 

 

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

We have never paid dividends on our Shares. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings to support operations and to finance the growth and development of our business. As such, we do not intend to declare or pay cash dividends on our Shares in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay dividends will be made at the discretion of our Board of Directors subject to applicable laws and will depend upon, among other factors, our earnings, operating results, financial condition and current and anticipated cash needs. Our future ability to pay cash dividends on our Shares may be limited by the terms of any then-outstanding debt or preferred securities.

DILUTION

 

As of the date of this Offering Circular, an aggregate of 5,552,200 shares of Common Shares are issued and outstanding.

 

If you invest in our Shares, your ownership interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the initial public offering price per Share and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per Share immediately after this Offering.

 

As of March 31, 2026, our pro forma net tangible book value was ($69,492,450), or ($13.67) per Common Share, based on 5,082,200 outstanding Common Shares.

 

If the Maximum Offering, at an offering price of $4.25 per Common Share is sold in this Offering, after deducting approximately $2,800,000 in selling commissions, $666,667 in investor fees, and $1,711,667 in other offering expenses, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value at the closing date would be approximately $30,106,398 or $0.85 per Common Share. This amount represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of $14.52 per Common Share to our existing shareholders as of the date of this Offering Circular, and an immediate dilution in pro forma net tangible book value of approximately $3.40 per Common Share to new investors purchasing Common Shares in this Offering at a price of $4.25 per Common Share. These amounts incorporate the automatic conversion of the Investor Right Warrants, convertible debentures and SAFE Notes.

 

Net tangible book value per Share represents our total tangible assets, which are total assets less our right of use assets, less our total liabilities, divided by the number of outstanding Shares.

 

Dilution represents the difference between the amount per Share paid by investors in this Offering and the pro forma net tangible book value per Share after the Offering. The following table illustrates the approximate dilution in pro forma net tangible book value per Share to new investors as of March 31, 2026, as adjusted to give effect to the sale of, respectively, 100%, 75%, 50% and 37.5% of our Shares in this Offering, after deducting underwriting commissions, investor fee and other offering expenses. The following table also incorporates the automatic conversion of the Investor Rights Warrants, convertible debentures and SAFE Notes.

Notes:
(1)

The Company completed 41 product-lot settlements at the Greenville Facility between December 21, 2023 and June 17, 2026, with each row representing a separate lot sold from demonstration plant operations. The “settlement date” is the date on which the applicable lot sale was settled with the customer, which may be later than the date on which the lot was produced or shipped.

(2)

“Lot weight” refers to the weight, in pounds, of the individual product lot sold in that settlement.

(3)

“Gold-Equivalent Ounces Sold per Tonne of Feedstock Processed” is a normalized performance metric that indicates the number of gold-equivalent ounces represented by the sold lot for each tonne of feedstock processed in the applicable campaign. Accordingly, this column should not be read as the total number of ounces sold in the lot. Rather, it expresses the relative GEO yield on a per-tonne-of-feedstock basis, which allows comparison across lots and campaigns of different sizes. Higher values indicate higher normalized GEO output per tonne processed, while lower values indicate lower normalized GEO output per tonne processed. The variation in both lot weight and this normalized GEO metric from one settlement to the next reflects the pilot and demonstration nature of operations at the Greenville Facility, including differences in campaign size, feedstock characteristics, and process performance.

On June 18, 2025, the Company entered into an investment agreement (the “OR Investment Agreement”) with OR Royalties Inc. (“OR”) pursuant to which OR agreed to subscribe for 47,058 Common Shares at a price of $4.25 per share for gross proceeds of $200,000. The OR Investment Agreement provides that the Company will use the proceeds to commission a third-party technical study on the Company’s first commercial scale E-Waste recovery facility to be located in Greenville, North Carolina. Subject to favorable outcomes from the study, the Company and OR have agreed to negotiate a royalty agreement pursuant to which the Company will grant OR a perpetual royalty on all metals produced at the facility in exchange for a portion of the funding required for construction of the facility.

 

The Company engaged a third-party to prepare a technical study report, which is currently being prepared and reviewed, to preliminarily evaluate the technical and economic potential of the Company’s proposed commercial-scale electronic-waste recycling operations. The proposed initial facility would consist of an integrated Pre-Concentration Plant and Aqueous Purification Plant. The PCP would use size reduction and physical separation processes to upgrade printed circuit board feedstock into a metal-rich metallic sands concentrate, which would then be processed through the APP using hydrometallurgical operations, including anode casting, copper electrorefining and selective leaching, precipitation and adsorption, to produce copper cathode, gold, silver and palladium products. The commercial design basis is approximately one tonne per hour, or 8,000 tonnes of feedstock annually. The Company’s existing demonstration facility has an estimated capacity of approximately 400 tonnes annually, or approximately 5% of the proposed commercial PCP capacity, and has been used to conduct pre-concentration, leaching and electrorefining test work. Based on this work and the preliminary process design and mass balance, the study estimates overall recoveries of approximately 89% for gold, 85% for silver, 78% for copper and 89% for palladium and concludes that the project is technically feasible and has financial merit under the base-case assumptions. However, the study is preliminary in nature, full end-to-end testing of all APP operations has not been completed, and commercial implementation remains subject to additional test work, detailed engineering, equipment sizing and specification, building and utility upgrades, permitting, process-safety studies, feedstock contracting and project and operational readiness assessments. 

 

Between August 24, 2023 and the date of this Offering Circular, certain shareholders made short-term working capital loans (the “Bridge Loans”) to the Company on approximately a monthly basis, evidenced by promissory notes. The aggregate principal amount of the Bridge Loans as of the date of this Offering Circular is C$1,918,250 and US$275,500. The Bridge Loans bear interest at a rate of eight percent (8%) per annum, compounded annually, and are due on demand.

 

The Company amended the 2022 Debentures, whereby the Company extended the maturity date from April 7, 2025 to April 7, 2027, with the interest rate on the 2022 Debentures increased from 5% per annum to 7% per annum.

 

On December 17, 2025, the Company issued SAFE notes in the principal amount of $85,000.

 

On January 21, 2026, the Company issued SAFE notes in the principal amount of $1,681,956.

 

On February 23, 2026, the Company issued SAFE notes in the principal amount of $910,000.

 

On February 26, 2026, the Company issued SAFE notes in the principal amount of $225,000.

 

On April 29, 2026, the Company issued 470,000 Shares at a deemed price of $4.25 per share to an entity pursuant to a consulting agreement.

 

On June 12, 2026, Michael Hepworth resigned as a director of the Company effective June 12, 2026.

 

On June 24, 2026, David Whitney resigned as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and on June 25, 2026, Austin Thornberry was appointed as Chief Financial Officer.

 

Our Company

 

The Company is a “landfill-to-commodity” focused business venture, offering a cleaner, safer, and lower-cost alternative compared to traditional mining operations. Our core business is aimed at processing and extracting strategic commodities from the vast, growing, and largely ignored global resource of E-Waste, and transforming these end-of-life landfill-bound materials into high-value resources. Value is captured by using our aqueous based processes to recover, process and refine commodity metals such as gold, palladium, silver, copper and potentially 30 other metals.

 

Our Market

 

Our market consists of two parts: E-Waste feed supply and produced commodity sales.

 

44

 

 

E-Waste Feed Supply

 

The report, entitled Global E-Waste Monitor 2024 (the “Report”), provides that the world generated a staggering, and a record high, 62 million tonnes (Mt) of E-waste in 2022, representing billions of dollars worth of strategically-valuable resources dumped, squandered, and wasted13. This is up 82% from 2010. This 62 million tonnes of E-waste would fill 1.55 million semi trucks, roughly enough pickup trucks to form a bumper-to-bumper line encircling the Earth’s equator. The Report also predicts global E-Waste will rise another 30% and reach 82 million tonnes annually by 2030 driven by increased technology use, shorter device life spans, and fewer repair options. The U.S. is the second largest generator of E-Waste in the world. The Report further indicates that in 2022 alone, approximately $62 billion worth of gold, silver, copper, platinum and other high-value, recoverable materials were wasted through landfill dumping or incineration burning, rather than being collected for treatment and reuse. It is Modern Mining’s business objective to address this situation and recover lost commodity materials from this E-Waste.

 

Commodity Sales

 

The Journal of Management Science and Engineering14 (the “Journal”) also produced findings that the cost to recycle E-Waste is significantly less than the cost of traditional mining. Lower production costs is a strategic advantage compared to traditional commodity producers. In addition to an increasing world demand for commodities, a number of large companies have announced their planned roadmaps to a more socially responsible supply chain. For example, in 2025, Apple announced that 24% of the materials it shipped in Apple products came from recycled or renewable sources15, and it intends to use 100% renewable or recyclable materials in its products in the future, while Dell reemphasized its commitment to over 50% of product content being made from recycled, renewable or low emission materials by 203016. Also in 2025, Google announced that it used 20% recycled content in 2024 products with a goal to increase recycled materials usage17. These are three examples of a growing trend of companies being more aware of their supply chains.

 

Our Business, Our Products and Services

 

Our wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary, Urban Mining International Inc., largely focusing on research and development in the E-Waste sector, conducted internal and external bench scale and pilot plant testing from its former facilities in Raleigh, North Carolina to demonstrate proof of concept. The external tests were done to ensure that we would be able to liberate metals and separate them from the plastic. Metallic Sand Concentrate (“MSC”) was successfully created by this process. The internal tests were done to ensure that high-grade/upgraded E-waste feedstock was able to undergo purification, which it was, and we were able to produce a doré bar. The test work was aimed at generating technical inputs needed to for our proposed plan to design a commercial scale E-Waste processing facility using our proposed proprietary two-step Pre-Concentration Plant (“PCP”) and Aqueous Purification Plant (“APP”) process.

 

To achieve our objectives, we have developed a two-step propriety process while our envisioned value-chain can be broken down into 3 main stages:

 

  1) We secure quality E-Waste feedstock from primary recyclers.

 

  2) We separate the plastics from the metals using our proprietary pre-concentration methods. The plastics can then be sold to downstream third-party recyclers and suppliers.

 

  3) The concentrated metals streams are treated though our proprietary aqueous purification process, and the metal products can then be sold into industrial supply chains.

The following depicts the Company’s three main processing steps:

 

 

The first step in our process is securing quality E-Waste feedstock from established primary recyclers through stringent but practical contracts to ensure source consistent quality and quantities. These recyclers collect and break down bulk products and combine the E-Waste into separate product streams for downstream processing. Our initial focus is Printed-Circuit-Boards (PCBs)

 

By its nature, the feedstock will be variable, due to the large variety of PCBs that exist. To give a basis for the plant design, we calculated a “typical” feedstock composition. This was done by assigning the feedstock into one of five categories (low grade, low to mid-grade, mid-grade, mobile phone PCBs, and ram PCBs). Metal concentration values were collected from public literature for each of these categories. The lowest non-zero published concentration for each metal and for each category was used in the typical feed stock calculations. With these metal concentration numbers, we calculated a weighted average, based on our existing non-binding supplier LOIs, and calculated a global “typical” feedstock composition. The “typical” metal concentrations was used in the typical feedstock calculations. The “typical” metal concentrations are: Cu 150.7 kg/t; Sn:14.1 kg/t; Au: 136.11 g/t; Ag: 619.65 g/t and Pd: 60.17 g/t. The calculated typical gold grade of 136 g/t is 100 times higher than the average gold mine grade.

 

Pre-Concentration Plant

 

The second step in our process is the PCP. The primary purpose of the PCP is to isolate and separate the high-value metals from the plastics, epoxy resins, and fiberglass contained in the feedstock. Building on our bench and pilot plant process designs, target commodities in the incoming feedstock will be liberated using various mechanical methods and then recovered into MSC. This will be done using various combinations of advanced beneficiation techniques, such as sensor-based sorting, gravimetric discretization, electromagnetic scanning and physical separation. By locating PCPs close to suppliers of E-Waste, we aim to reduce transportation costs of both our incoming feedstock and the MSC for downstream processing at our centralized APP.

 

The PCP design was tested at both the low grade and ram PCB (high grade) ends of the supply spectrum and was found to produce comparable recovery results, independent of the feedstock type.

 

46

 

 

Aqueous Purification Plant

 

The third step in our process is the APP itself. The primary purpose of the APP is to isolate the high-value metals within the MSC, separate them from each other, and then convert the individual metals into enriched and refined products for sale. Target commodities from the incoming MSC (such as gold, silver, copper, palladium) will be liberated and separated using liquid-based methods, and then purified into further enriched and/or refined products using specialized combinations of advanced hydrometallurgical techniques, such as precipitation reactions, ionic dissolution, lixiviant saturation and selective concentration. APPs will be strategically located in centralized hubs to take advantage of logistical and infrastructure related synergies. Commercial APPs will be expected to process MSCs from multiple PCPs, thus, they will be designed to allow the facility to operate across a wide range of metal recovery and product grade conditions.

 

Test work, coupled with published literature18, indicate that an overall plant performance objective of greater than 90% recovery of economic metals is achievable for our combined processes. For illustrative purposes, based on the envisioned “typical” feedstock metal concentrations, coupled with our recovery performance objectives, it is anticipated that on average every 1,000lbs of processed feedstock will yield approximately 135 pounds of copper, 13 pounds of tin, 1.8 ounces of gold, 8.2 ounces of silver, and 0.8 ounces of palladium. Each tonne processed is envisioned to yield a potential of 4 – 8 Gold-Equivalent-Ounces (GEOs) of metal product. This anticipated feedstock estimation is based on third-party published literature19 and internal test work. GEOs refers to a quantity of a Metal having an economic value expressed in ounces of Gold.

 

We plan to sell final products produced by the APPs on the metal commodities markets into both domestic and international supply chains.

 

The Company aims to target an All-In Sustainable Cost (AISC) of $1,650 per Gold Equivalent Ounce (GEO) produced from start-up through commercialization, and will seek to reduce AISC and grow margins post commercialization through the implementation of prescriptive growth, optimization, and R&D plans.

 

We engaged a third-party process modelling and industrial optimization firm to assist in layout optimization, 3D modelling, and dynamic simulation studies on our first commercial scale PCP and APP. These proposed plants will be co-located in our future commercial facility in North Carolina. Our current Greenville facility presently serves only as a pilot and demonstration plant that we intend to use to continue to optimize our recovery processes that we ultimately plan to move to commercial scale production at a future location. In the long-term, we intend to secure a larger facility in the Raleigh or Greenville area of North Carolina to serve as our commercial-scale production facility although such future facility has yet to be identified as our current pilot plant facility still has significant capacity that we foresee being adequate in the short-term. The commercial PCP will be designed to treat approximately 8,000 tonnes of E-Waste per year and the commercial APP will be designed to be able to process concentrate from up to four future PCPs.

 

After commercial start-up of our initial PCP and APP plants (expected to take approximately 18 months inclusive of a 6 month build-out, a 6-month commissioning program, and a 6 month ramp-up period), we believe that we can be a commercial producer of commodity materials, supplying both domestic and international supply chains with strategic metals. The processes we have developed for recycling E-Waste are environmentally beneficial compared to material going to landfill. Furthermore, we believe that the design of our proprietary processes (PCP and APP) will allow for the ability to scale and grow our business, and take advantage of a worldwide resource, E-Waste

 

To this end, the Company intends to seek external accreditation to become certified in meeting current “Reuse and Recycling Standards”( R2 or equivalent). The R2 Standard, now in its third version, was developed by a group of recycling stakeholders and industry experts. The R2v3 standard sets forth a list of voluntary principles and guidelines designed to promote and assess responsible practices for electronics recyclers. The R2v3 standard requires implementing a management system which is accountable for practices affecting worker health and safety, data security, the environment, and the downstream management of end-of-life electronic material and equipment, both domestically and internationally. The R2 Standard prioritizes reuse over recovery or disposal processes in a global effort to minimize electronic waste streams and promotes standardized testing and grading protocols for consistency across the industry.

Our Competitive Strengths

 

  Combining Four Core Market Trends

 

Modern Mining anticipates benefiting from the overlap of four core market trends: (a) the growing global demand for commodity metals (examples — global push for electrification, growth in China, Ukraine rebuilding); (b) the importance of strengthening and developing transparent and socially responsible domestic supply chains, and onshoring the supply of critical materials; (c) the importance of developing sustainable and environmentally friendly driven solutions to support a ‘circular’ economy given the projected growth in global E-waste generation; and (d) the increasing importance of hedging against inflationary pressures.

 

  Benefit from Proprietary Technology

 

We have developed proprietary technologies that we believe set us apart from other E-Waste processors and from other commodity producers. We believe that our two-step approach of regional pre-concentration and centralized purification, combined with our modular and scalable design, will reduce capital and operating costs and will allow for a rapid expansion into other future potential major E-Waste generating locations.

 

  Designed to Comply with Government Mandates

 

Due to our anticipated high recovery rates and sustainable, environmentally friendly processes, and low/non-toxic controlled effluent, we believe we are well-positioned to comply with environmental guidelines around the world20.

 

We believe our E-Waste recycling processes are environmentally friendly and should not generate any significant gaseous, liquid, or solids emissions only noise, air borne dust, and sewer discharges at this time. Our current pilot and demonstration pre-concentration processes are purely water based with no chemical addition, and our purification methods utilize controlled aqueous based reagent blends in connection with our refined metal production. To that end, we will have noise control and dust control systems in place and we will aim to use a closed-loop water recirculation system to manage effluent discharge in our commercial scale facility. We envision that we will be well positioned to meet any environmental guidelines around the world when and if we expand our operations from our current facility in Greenville, North Carolina.

 

Global environmental guidelines that may be applicable to our operations include (a) the Basel Convention, which monitors the transboundary movements of hazardous and other wastes; (b) the UN Sustainable Development Goals encompassing E-Waste, such as SDG 6, which covers clean waste and sanitation, and SDG 12, which covers sustainable consumption and production patterns; (c) E-Waste legislation implemented around the world, such as Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programs to shift the burden of e-waste management from local municipalities to producers (d) U.S. Inflation Reduction Act; and (e) U.S. Senate hearings banning the export of E-waste21.

 

  Superior to Current Standard E-Waste Recycling Processes

 

We believe that our business plan sets us apart from others in the industry, in particular given our ability to be one of the low/non-carbon generating processors in the space with our proprietary aqueous based pre-concentration and purification technologies, versus the incineration-based methods of others in the industry. E-waste contains numerous toxic additives and hazardous substances that pose significant risk to human health and our environment if not disposed of and treated properly (examples — mercury, lead, heavy metals, brominated flame retardants, chlorofluorocarbons, hydrochlorofluorocarbons, dioxins). In China and other parts of the world, recycling of E-Waste can be a major hazard. Other locations include India and Ghana, Liberia, and Nigeria. Informal and primitive E-Waste recycling occurs regularly, where workers and others are exposed to dangerous chemicals with potentially long-term adverse health effects22. Modern Mining plans to cleanly and safely process these substances, Incineration methods are extremely energy intensive methods23. The plastics are burned off resulting in major carbon dioxide and other hazardous emissions. Attempts to separate metals using pyrometallurgical methods result in significant metal losses as not all metals can be economically recovered. Modern Mining’s process, being aqueous-based, is largely carbon neutral, safer for both workers and for the environment, and allows for the recovery of a broader range of metals as separation and recovery is driven by physical methods and simple reagent addition, not complex pyrometallurgy.

  Decreased Risk Profile

 

Traditional exploration and mining projects are inherently layered with significant risk as a consequence of having to deal with the earth’s crust and all of its natural variability. Major risks include: (a) exploration risk (the success rate of making a new discovery is low); (b) geological risk (the made grades of newly discovered deposits are generally decreasing); (c) engineering risk (the nature of newly discovered deposits is complex) and (d) geopolitical risk (various commodity resources are hosted in politically unstable and hostile jurisdictions).

 

In contrast, E-Waste is a man-made engineered product. It contains a very prescriptive blend and known quantity of strategic metals. As a result, the processing of E-Waste carries negligible exploration, geological, and geopolitical risk. Furthermore, as industry standard payment terms for our feedstock E-Waste are linked to the proportions of metals recovered, the impact and risk of fluctuating commodity prices are reduced as well. We believe feedstock E-Waste can also deliver 100 times better24 grades than traditional mined ores and the processing of E-Waste can carry less than 1/70th the capital expenditures25 of a traditional gold mine. Modern Mining aims to provide our stakeholders with the potential upside value associated with commodities investments, all the while minimizing downside risk exposure common to conventional mining projects.

 

  Availability of Supply

 

The amount of E-Waste produced by the world in 2016 was approximately 50 million tonnes26. With 5% of that E-Waste being printed circuit boards (“PCBs’), that amounts to 2.5 million tonnes of potential feedstock, of which only 17.4% was being recycled. At our current plant target design capacity of approximately 8,000 tonnes per PCP, capturing “wasted” E-Waste would require over 250 concentrator plants. It is envisioned that 1 tonne of PCBs is equivalent in volume to three gaylord pallet boxes.

 

We currently have non-binding letters of intent to secure two times the quantity of feedstock needed to operate our initial PCP at 100% capacity, however, there are no guaranteed obligations for such suppliers to provide any amount of such feedstock to us.

 

  Positioned to Benefit from Raising Commodity Prices

 

We further believe we are positioned to benefit from any rise in commodity metal prices for our recovered metals: Gold, Silver, Copper, Platinum and Palladium.

  Continuous Process Research and Development Plans

 

We plan to have a continuing research and development program. This program will have two main goals. The first goal will be to optimize our proprietary processes to increase recoveries and reduce costs. The second goal will be to expand our core technology to be able to recover additional metals and to be able to process additional types of E-Waste feedstock.

 

Our Growth Strategy

 

The Company intends to expand its footprint to other locations around the U.S. and internationally (target of 1 PCP per year over 4 years) so that multiple concentrator plants are strategically located geographically near major third-party, primary recycling facilities, significantly reducing raw material transportation costs. The first additional PCPs will feed into the initial APP in North Carolina. Expansion of our aqueous purification capacity will be undertaken as material supply and economics dictate.

 

Corporate Structure

 

The current corporate structure of the Company is as follows:

 

 

Our Property

 

In September 2022, the Company secured a facility lease containing approximately 10,000 square feet of effective working space in nearby Greenville, North Carolina to serve as its pilot plant facility.

 

It is anticipated that this facility will allow the Company to operate at approximately 5% of the processing capacity envisioned for its future planned commercial-scale plant. The Company intends to use this facility to house both its pilot PCP and APP equipment. The Company intends to operate the pilot and demonstration plant as needed for the following business purposes:

 

  To demonstrate the operability and scalability of its full end-to-end process;

 

  To generate additional operating data for detailed engineering and scale-up studies for its commercial plant;

 

  To conduct process expansion studies;

 

  To optimize the performance objectives of its technology; and

 

  To serve as an operations training platform to help streamline the commissioning and start-up activities of its commercial plant.

The Company elected to make North Carolina its U.S. processing home as a logical extension of its past local research efforts, favorable incentives, proximity to major logistics networks, and direct access to some of the world’s largest supplies of E-Waste through proximity to the densely populated eastern U.S. seaboard.

 

The Company retained a third-party full service process modelling and industrial optimization firm to provide the Company with various studies with a view to enabling the Company to maximize its manufacturing capabilities in the long term. In particular, such company provided the following studies to Modern Mining:

 

  1. Plan for Every Part (PFEP): build a complete and thorough PFEP study which will include the use of all raw materials, work-in-progress and finished goods;

 

  2. Process Flow: perform a process flow studies that will be used as inputs for various simulations. Such studies are intended to identify options to increase the design capacity of our planned commercial facilities;

 

  3. Material Flow: perform a material flow studies to identify the movement and efficiencies of material movement through the facilities;

 

  4. Layout: design new layouts as the future state simulations are built, and each layout to include the material flows to be used at each stage of production; and

 

  5. Future State Dynamic Simulations: build a number of future state dynamic simulators. Each simulator will include the new layout, new material flow and the new process flow for each option of the input process.

 

The above studies were completed in February 2023.

 

Our Employees

 

We currently have three full-time employees. Our main operational employees located in Greenville, North Carolina include: Darrell Campanella, General Manager; Chris Oppel, Production Manager; and David Gordon, Procurement Manager.

 

Kuljit (Jeet) Basi, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Austin Thornberry, the Chief Financial Officer of the Company and Viktoriya Griffin, Controller, are located in Vancouver, British Columbia.

 

Intellectual Property

 

The individual unit operations of the Company’s two-step process are common within their various typical industries. The Company has used the equipment in a potentially non-traditional way and has developed an overall process sequence that it believes is unique. To the Company’s knowledge, there are no other pure aqueous based E-Waste processors operating at a commercial scale.

 

At this time and except as set out below, the Company has not filed any applications in connection with its intellectual property (including in respect to its proprietary two-step process further described under the section entitled “Our Business, Our Products and Services”) and there is no present intention to do so. The Company currently protects its process by trade secret.

 

The Company’s wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary has one registered trademark for GOLD CONCIERGE in the USA.

REGULATION OF OUR INDUSTRY

 

Regulatory Framework in the United States

 

The Company’s only facility in operation is its pilot and demonstration plant in Greenville, North Carolina. As such, the Company is subject to regulation in the State of North Carolina and federally in the United States in respect to its operations including, but not limited to, complying with local and State ambient air quality standards in respect to emissions from any stack, vent, or outlet, of sulfur oxides, suspended particulates, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, etc. Additionally, the company must comply with the NAAQS. Of the six principal pollutants that NAAQS sets levels for, the Company’s process only produces particulate matter.

 

The Company is also mandated to meet water quality standards as required by the Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) under applicable legislation including, but not limited to, the Clean Water Act. The Company is required by the local authority to comply with noise regulations, mandating a maximum sound level below 100dB, outside the building while in operation. Internally completed noise level measurements show that the operating plant pilot produced approximately 70dB outside of the building. The Company believes it has been fully compliant with these standards in the past and intends to be fully compliant in its future operations.

 

The Company’s E-Waste recycling processes are environmentally friendly and do not generate any significant gaseous, liquid, or solids emissions only noise, air borne dust, and sewer discharges at this time. Its pre-concentration processes are purely water based with no chemical addition, and its purification methods utilize controlled aqueous based reagent blends in connection with its refined metal production. To that end, the Company has noise control and dust control systems in place and currently uses a closed-loop water recirculation system to manage effluent discharge.

 

The Company requires a business license to operate which is issued by the local state authority. The Company, so far, has had no local or state regulatory matters to address in connection with its operations and the Company intends to continue to operate its main processing facility in North Carolina in accordance with all applicable local and state laws. In addition, when and if the Company’s operations expand beyond North Carolina, the Company will continue to ensure it operates it facilities in accordance with all applicable laws.

 

In addition, the government may in future impose additional environmental laws or specific regulations applicable to the Company’s business. The Company cannot predict the impact of any new environmental laws or regulations or of changes in current environmental laws or regulations on its operations. However, any such unanticipated changes may materially affect the Company’s business and operations. See “Risk Related to Our Regulatory Framework.”

 

Conflict Minerals Rule

 

The Company will be subject to the Conflict Minerals Rule, adopted under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which requires that publicly traded companies that manufacture or contract to manufacture products containing tantalum, tin, tungsten or gold (“3TG”) that is necessary to the functionality or production of such products take certain steps to determine the origin of such necessary 3TG, and to report their findings annually to the SEC.

 

In compliance with the Conflict Minerals Rule, the Company has adopted a Conflict Minerals Policy that outlines a process to conduct a reasonable country of origin inquiry based on a review of its business operations to determine whether any of the 3TG contained in its products came from recycled or scrap sources or if it did not, whether the 3TG originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) region and adjoining countries.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the section of this Offering Circular entitled “Business”, and our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto, included elsewhere in this Offering Circular. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our current plans, expectations, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Offering Circular, particularly in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

 

This Management Discussion and Analysis supplements, but does not form part of, the Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Consequently, the following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations for the Company should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, and the related notes therein, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, consistently applied.

 

Corporate Overview

 

The Company was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “BCBCA”) on January 26, 2021.

 

On August 19, 2021, the Company and Urban Mining International, Inc. (“UMI”) entered into a merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”), providing for the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding common shares of UMI (the “RTO Transaction”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, UMI and Urban Mining Merger Sub, Inc. (a subsidiary of UMI, created for the Transaction) amalgamated and continued under the name of UMI. As a result of the Merger, UMI became a wholly owned subsidiary of MMTC on September 1, 2021. These Consolidated Financial Statements are presented as a continuance of UMI and MMTC as at the Acquisition. Subsequently, UMI changed its name to Modern Mining Technology Corp. as of December 8, 2021.

 

UMI was incorporated in the State of Delaware, USA on August 8, 2017 for the purpose of refining precious metals from electronic waste. UMI’s principal operating facility is located in Greenville, NC.

 

Modern Mining is a “landfill-to-commodity” business aiding the transition away from traditional mining to a cleaner, safer and profitable process to mine valuable metals from a vast, growing and largely ignored global resource, electronic waste or E-Waste (or sometimes also referred in the waste industry as “EEE” for Electrical and Electronic Equipment or “WEEE” for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment). E-Waste includes all items of electrical and electronic equipment that have been discarded as waste (including a wide range of products; almost any household or business item with circuitry or electrical components). Once concentrated, the resulting material serves as feedstock for the Company’s purification process.

 

Our U.S. wholly-owned operating subsidiary (formerly, “Urban Mining International Inc.”, and subsequent to the completion of the Merger, “Modern Mining Technology Corp.”) was originally incorporated in August, 2017. Since 2017, management has been focused on research and development activities relating to the feasibility of its business of the treatment of electronic waste and the processes associated therewith. To that end, the Company purchased and installed certain equipment that allowed for the testing of the Company’s E-Waste recovery processes. Such research and development activities resulted in the sale of recovered gold in 2020 in the amount of $23,586.

 

The Company formerly operated out of a 14,400 square foot facility located at 5905 Triangle Dr., Raleigh, North Carolina, 27617 pursuant to a lease dated July 29, 2020 (the “Former Facility Lease”). On October 22, 2021, the Company, with the consent of the landlord thereunder, surrendered the Former Facility Lease due to the fact that the Company determined it needed a larger facility to accommodate its anticipated growth and scale-up plans. On September 22, 2022, the Company entered into a lease agreement with Grand Ventures, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company, for the lease of the Company’s North Carolina facility for E-Waste feedstock processing. The lease term is for three years, with a right to extend it for three additional one year terms. Annual rent during the first three lease years is $120,000, payable in monthly installments of $10,000. This is subject to adjustment upon extension of the lease term.

Significant events and transactions during the Year ended December 31, 2025

 

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company received a total of CAD $688,250 ($502,152) in new CAD denominated short-term loans (December 31, 2024 – CAD $886,000 ($615,748)). Also, the Company received a total of $275,500 in new USD denominated short-term loans.

 

On June 18, 2025, the Company entered into an Investment Agreement with OR Royalties Inc. (“OR”) to support development of the Company’s initial electronic-waste recovery project in Greenville, North Carolina (the “Initial Project”). Under the agreement, OR purchased for 47,058 common shares of the Company for gross proceeds of $200,000 (the “Initial Investment”). In addition to the cash consideration, the Company is also required to undertake a third-party study report of the Company’s technology (“Study”), the scope, and the estimated budget and timeline of the Company’s recycling facility project. In addition to the delivery of the report, the Company also agreed to grant potential future royalty rights to the investor. In the case where the Company decided to not pursue the future royalty arrangement but OR wishes to proceed, the Company is required to pay a break up fee in the amount of $100,000. In the case where OR does not wish to proceed with the future royalty arrangement but the Company wishes to proceed, the investor is required to render the 47,058 common shares issued to the Company.

 

The Company’s operating facility lease expired on September 22, 2025 and the Company used its first right and renewed the lease for an additional one-year term.

 

The Company amended the Debentures that were issued during the year ended 2022, whereby the Company extended the maturity date from April 7, 2025 to April 7, 2027, with the interest rate on the Debentures increased from 5% per annum to 7% per annum.

 

Significant events and transactions subsequent to the Year ended December 31, 2025

 

The Company approved the issuance of one or more Simple Agreements for Future Equity (“SAFE Agreements”) with certain investors for aggregate proceeds of up to $3,000,000. Under the SAFE Agreements, the holders are entitled to receive common shares upon the occurrence of a qualifying equity financing or other liquidity events, including the Company’s Regulation A initial public offering. Upon such event, the SAFE converts into common shares, with the number of shares issued equal to the investment amount divided by a discounted conversion price, calculated as the public offering price per share multiplied by a contractual discount rate of 75%. Until conversion, the SAFE Agreements do not represent issued equity instruments and do not provide voting or ownership rights. In addition to $85,000 issued SAFE Agreements as of December 31, 2025, subsequently, the Company had issued additional $2,816,956, bringing total SAFE proceeds raised to $2,901,956.

 

On March 1, 2026, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Madrina Communications Corp. (“Madrina”) to provide investor relations and advisory services in connection with a planned listing of the Company’s common stock on a U.S. or foreign national securities exchange. The agreement continues until the completion of the listing, unless terminated earlier by either party upon 30 days’ written notice. Upon successful completion of the listing, the Company will pay Madrina a base fee $165,000 for each 30-day period falling within the term (prorated for partial periods), plus $150 per hour for required after-hours services, payable within 30 days of the listing completion. Madrina may also be eligible for a discretionary, merit-based bonus. All fees are expressly contingent upon the completion of the listing; if the Company abandons the listing prior to completion, no fees will be owed other than pre-approved, out-of-pocket expenses.

 

On March 19, 2026, the Company entered into a Selling Agency Agreement with Digital Offering, LLC (“Digital Offering”), pursuant to which Digital Offering agreed to act as the Company’s selling agent, on a best efforts basis only, in connection with a Regulation A offering of the Company’s common shares. Under the agreement, Digital Offering is not obligated to underwrite or purchase any securities for its own account and may engage other FINRA-member broker-dealers to assist in the offering. The Company agreed to pay Digital Offering a cash commission equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds received from the sale of the common shares and to issue warrants to purchase a number of common shares equal to 2.5% of the total number of shares sold in the offering, exercisable at 125% of the public offering price commencing on the date of issuance and expiring on the fifth anniversary of the commencement of sales in the offering.

On April 2, 2026, the Company entered into a twelve-month consulting agreement with Skeleton Crew Labs LLC (“SCL”) for advisory services related to the Company’s Form 1-A offering. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company issued 470,000 shares of common stock to SCL as a non-refundable retainer. The shares are subject to a six-month contractual hold period following the listing of the Company’s common shares on a national securities exchange in the United States.

 

On May 11, 2026, the Company entered into a Pooling Agreements under which, upon the IPO, “pooled securities,” defined to include all Common Shares, all Investor Rights Warrants, all Convertible Debentures, as applicable, and all securities underlying the Investor Rights Warrants and Convertible Debentures held by the participating securityholders are subject to contractual resale restrictions for 180 days. Under the agreements, 45% of the shares remain restricted during the lock-up period, 25% may be released early if specified share price and trading volume thresholds are achieved, and the remaining 30% may be progressively released in 5% tranches after 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 days following the IPO, provided additional trading price and volume conditions are satisfied.

 

Operating Segments

 

The Company operates in one operating segment, namely the refinement of precious metals from E-Waste.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had no revenues due to the Company focusing on revamping its business operations, facility, and financing opportunities.

 

The Company has and expects to continue to report negative earnings until the Company’s E-Waste processing program ramps up to full-scale production. The Company will continue to utilize proceeds from financing and equity issuances to fund its business operations and general and administrative operating costs.

 

Plan of Operations

 

The continuation of our current plan of operations requires us to raise significant additional capital. If we are successful in raising capital through the sale of Shares pursuant to this Offering, we believe that the Company will have sufficient cash resources to fund its plan of operations for the next 12 months. If we are unable to do so, we may have to curtail and possibly cease some operations. The Company intends to receive proceeds from the Offering to carry out the following near term and longer-term goals. The approximate timing and costs associated with these target milestones are also summarized below. These target dates and cost estimates may change subject to multiple factors including, but not limited to, the following: (i) the timing of the Offering and quantity of capital raised; (ii) key equipment availability, cost, and delivery timing; (iii) supply chain fluctuations; (iv) availability and access to labor markets (skilled and unskilled); (v) permitting processes; and (vi) availability and costs of E-Waste feedstock supply. See also “Risk Factors.”

We will continually evaluate our plan of operations to determine the manner in which we can most effectively utilize our limited cash resources. The timing of completion of any aspect of our plan of operations is highly dependent upon the availability of cash to implement that aspect of the plan and other factors beyond our control. There is no assurance that we will successfully obtain the required capital or revenues, or, if obtained, that the amounts will be sufficient to fund our ongoing operations.

 

Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

 

Results of Operations

 

The Company remains in the development and pre-commercialization stage and has not yet commenced revenue-generating commercial operations. Any amounts received during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 related to incidental testing or pilot activities were not considered part of the Company’s principal business operations and were therefore classified as other income in the financial statements rather than revenue.

 

During these periods, the Company’s activities were primarily focused on research and development, pilot-scale testing, facility development, process optimization, operational planning and financing initiatives related to its electronic waste processing and precious metal recovery technology.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company continued research and development activities that were primarily conducted at its Greenville, North Carolina facility, where management continued pilot-scale process testing and operational development intended to support future commercial operations. Work during the year included process optimization, equipment testing, feedstock evaluation, recovery analysis, process engineering support, and assessment of operational parameters associated with the Company’s planned recycling and recovery operations.

 

The Company also continued development planning related to a future demonstration and commercial-scale processing facility. As part of these efforts, the Company engaged third-party engineering and technical consultants to assist in evaluating technical feasibility, recycling facility development requirements, process design considerations, expected capital requirements and implementation timelines.

 

Research and development expenditures during the year totaled approximately $80,334 compared to $26,375 during the prior year. The increase primarily reflects expanded technical development activities, engineering support, operational testing and commercialization planning initiatives associated with the Company’s pilot-scale and recycling facility development activities.

 

Management believes these activities are important steps toward validating the Company’s technology and advancing toward future commercial operations; however, the Company has not yet commenced revenue-generating operations and there can be no assurance that commercialization efforts will be successful.

 

The net loss reported during the year ended December 31, 2025 was $38,368,833 compared to net loss of $2,305,221 in the prior comparative periods. The main fluctuations in costs are as follows:

 

Professional fees   Year Ended

2025
    Year Ended
December 31,
2024
 
    $ 384,900     $ 209,578  
Variance   $ 175,322       -  

 

Professional fees primarily consisted of legal, accounting, audit, regulatory and corporate advisory services. The increase during the year was primarily attributable to additional legal and professional services associated with financing initiatives, regulatory matters, the Company’s proposed Regulation A offering and ongoing corporate development activities.

    $ 583,883     $ 506,374  
Variance   $ 77,509       -  

 

Consulting fees for the year ended December 31, 2025 primarily related to technical consultants, operational advisory services, commercialization planning, investor relations and strategic development activities. The increase during the year primarily reflected expanded development and operational planning activities.

Variance   $ (36,512,077     -  

 

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the IPO probability increased from a nominal level at December 31, 2024 due to significant progress in the IPO process by December 31, 2025. As of that date, the Company had engaged a lead selling agent and filed a preliminary offering circular with the Securities and Exchange Commission to issue common shares at $4.25 per share, thus, the Company fair valued the warrant liability based on an estimated IPO share price of $4.25, approximately 50% probability of an IPO, and an expected IPO timing of mid-2026. The increase in the estimated fair value of the warrant liability was primarily attributable to progress made toward the Company’s proposed Regulation A offering, including engagement of a lead selling agent and filing of offering materials which increased the probability of a future public offering and resulted in a higher estimated fair value of the warrants.

Outstanding Shares

 

As at December 31, 2025, the Company had 5,082,200 Shares issued and outstanding on a non-diluted basis.

 

As at December 31, 2025, the Company had 12,596,814 warrants that were issued and outstanding. These warrants remained anti-dilutive as at December 31, 2025 and as at the date hereof, and therefore, were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

 

As at December 31, 2025, potentially dilutive securities for the diluted earnings per share calculations consist of 1,608,752 contingently issuable shares of convertible debt at an assumed conversion price of $2.55 per Share and 12,596,814 share purchase warrants.

On March 1, 2026, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Madrina Communications Corp. (“Madrina”) to provide investor relations and advisory services in connection with a planned listing of the Company’s common stock on a U.S. or foreign national securities exchange.

Operating Segments

 

The Company operates in one operating segment, namely the refinement of precious metals from E-Waste.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company had no revenues due to the Company focusing on revamping its business operations, facility, and financing opportunities.

 

The Company has and expects to continue to report negative earnings until the Company’s E-Waste processing program ramps up to full-scale production. The Company will continue to utilize proceeds from financing and equity issuances to fund its business operations and general and administrative operating costs.

 

Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025

 

Results of Operations

 

The Company remains in the development and pre-commercialization stage and has not yet commenced revenue-generating commercial operations. Any amounts received during the periods ended March 31, 2026, 2025 related to incidental testing or pilot activities were not considered part of the Company’s ordinary activities and were therefore classified as other income in the financial statements rather than revenue.

 

During these periods, the Company’s activities were primarily focused on research and development, pilot-scale testing, facility development, process optimization, operational planning and financing initiatives related to its electronic waste processing and precious metal recovery technology.

 

During the period ended March 31, 2026, the Company continued research and development activities that were primarily conducted at its Greenville, North Carolina facility, where management continued pilot-scale process testing and operational development intended to support future commercial operations. Work during the year included process optimization, equipment testing, feedstock evaluation, recovery analysis, process engineering support, and assessment of operational parameters associated with the Company’s planned recycling and recovery operations.

 

The Company also continued development planning related to a future demonstration and commercial-scale processing facility. As part of these efforts, the Company continued with third-party engineering and technical consultants to assist in evaluating technical feasibility, recycling facility development requirements, process design considerations, expected capital requirements and implementation timelines.

 

Management believes these activities are important steps toward validating the Company’s technology and advancing toward future commercial operations; however, the Company has not yet commenced revenue-generating operations and there can be no assurance that commercialization efforts will be successful.

 

The net loss reported during the period ended March 31, 2026 was $23,093,986 compared to net loss of $488,968 in the prior comparative periods. The main fluctuations in costs are as follows:

Investor relations expenses for the period ended March 31, 2026 increased by $359,660 mainly due to expanded development activities and new investor relations agreements with Madrina to provide investor relations, marketing, shareholder communications, roadshows, and strategic introduction services for the Company.

Professional fees primarily consisted of legal, accounting, audit, regulatory and corporate advisory services.

During the period ended March 31, 2026, the IPO probability increased from a nominal level at March 31, 2025 due to significant progress in the IPO process by March 31, 2026. As of that date, the Company had engaged a lead selling agent and filed a preliminary offering circular with the Securities and Exchange Commission to issue common shares at $4.25 per share, thus, the Company fair valued the warrant liability based on an estimated IPO share price of $4.25, approximately 75% probability of an IPO, and an expected IPO timing of mid-2026. The increase in the estimated fair value of the warrant liability was primarily attributable to progress made toward the Company’s proposed Regulation A offering, including engagement of a lead selling agent and filing of offering materials which increased the probability of a future public offering and resulted in a higher estimated fair value of the warrants.

Cash raised in financing activities during the period ended March 31, 2026 totaled $2,739,041 (March 31, 2025: $142,857). The primary sources of liquidity are the funds raised through SAFEs.

 

Trend Information

 

Because we are still in the start-up phase of our operations, we are unable to identify any recent trends in revenue or expenses. Thus, we are unable to identify any known trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events involving our business that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our revenues, income from operations, profitability, liquidity or capital resources, or that would cause the reported financial information in this Offering Circular to not be indicative of future operating results or financial condition.

 

Going Concern

 

The Company is in the preliminary stages of its planned operations and has not yet determined whether its processes and business plans are economically viable. The continued operations of the Company are dependent upon the ability of the Company to obtain sufficient funding to carry out its business plans, the existence of future profitable production, or alternatively, upon the Company’s ability to dispose of its assets on an advantageous basis, all of which are uncertain.

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company will need to raise additional capital in the near term to fund its ongoing operations and business activities. There can be no assurance that this Offering will conclude or that other financings will be available on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. As a result of these circumstances, there are material uncertainties that cast substantial doubt as to the appropriateness of the going concern presumption.

 

66

 

 

The business of environmental recycling and processing involves a high degree of risk, and there can be no assurance that current business development programs will result in profitable operations. The Company’s continued existence is dependent upon the acquisition of assets, preservation of its interest in the underlying assets, acquisition of various licenses, the achievement of profitable operations, or the ability of the Company to raise alternative financing, if necessary, or alternatively upon the Company’s ability to dispose of its assets and operations on an advantageous basis.

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and classifications in the statement of financial position that may be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern, and these adjustments could be material.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Direct Capital Expenditures

 

Our contractual obligations for ongoing capital expenditures are described below. With the proceeds from the 2022 Debenture Offering, we have entered into a facility lease in Greenville, North Carolina and acquired various pieces of production equipment.

 

The Company estimates that to equip the facility with the required processing equipment (including laboratory equipment) to run its main US processing operations, will require an initial investment of approximately $6.5-$7.4 million in direct capital. Such equipment includes, but is not limited to, gas scrubbers, conveyor belt systems, sensor based sorters, air compressors, various shredders and sizers, drying units, dissolution and precipitate vessels, various chemical process tanks, induction melting systems, vacuum filtration units, security systems, etc. The Company understands that such capital costs and timelines could change, and as such, it continues to review and update major equipment quotes ahead of any advance procurement strategies.

 

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to pursue the Company’s objectives. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business.

 

In the management of capital, the Company includes its cash balances and components of shareholders’ equity. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue additional shares, issue debt, acquire or adjust the amount of cash and investments.

 

At this stage of the Company’s development, in order to maximize ongoing development efforts, the Company does not pay out dividends. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.

Financial instruments of the Company carried on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position are carried at amortized cost, with the exception of warrant liability and simple agreement for future equity, classified and held at fair value through profit or loss. There are no significant differences between the carrying value of financial instruments and their estimated fair values as at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, due to the immediate or short-term maturities of the financial instruments and their subjectivity to interest rates that are similar to the market interest rates of a similar item with similar security.

 

67

 

 

The Company classifies the fair value of these transactions according to the following hierarchy:

 

  Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments.

 

  Level 2 - quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

 

  Level 3 - valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

The Company’s warrant liability is classified at level 3 with a fair value of $57,716,399 as of March 31, 2026 (December 31, 2025 - $36,183,565). The Company’s simple agreements for future equity liability are classified at level 3 with a fair value of $2,901,956 as of March 31, 2026 (December 31, 2025 $85,000).

 

a) Market risk

 

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices will affect the Company’s earnings or the value of its financial instruments. Market risk is comprised of other price risk, currency risk, and interest rate risk. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control exposures within acceptable limits, while maximizing returns. These market risks are evaluated by monitoring changes in key economic indicators and market information on an on-going basis, adjusting operations and budgets accordingly. The Company is not subject to market risk.

 

b) Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company’s primary exposure to credit risk is on its cash. The Company’s cash is held with major banks in Canada and the United States. Accordingly, the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk.

 

c) Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or manage its obligations associated with financial liabilities. In the management of liquidity risk, the Company maintains a balance between continuity of funding and the flexibility through the use of borrowings. Management closely monitors the liquidity position and expects to have adequate sources of funding to finance the Company’s projects and operations. The Company is dependent on external financing and will be required to raise additional capital in the future to fund its operations (Note 1).

 

As at March 31, 2026, the Company had a cash balance of $2,370,279 (December 31, 2025 - $313,208) to settle current liabilities of $68,216,624 (December 31, 2025 - $43,044,024). So far, the Company is not profitable and has had to rely on the issuance of equity securities for cash, primarily through private placements and from related and other parties. The Company’s access to financing is uncertain. There can be no assurance of continued access to significant equity or debt financing.

d) Interest rate risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk on the variable rate of interest earned on its cash. The cash flow interest rate risk on cash is insignificant since deposits are short term in nature. The Company does not hold any other financial assets or liabilities with variable interest rates that will have significant impact arising from interest rate risk. The fair value interest rate risk on the Company’s other assets and liabilities are deemed to be insignificant.

 

The Company has not entered into any derivative instruments to manage interest rate fluctuations, thus, the Company is not subject to interest rate risk.

 

e) Foreign currency risk

 

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.

 

The Company’s certain operating expenses and acquisition costs are denominated in US$ and incurred by MMTC Delaware, and a large portion of the expenses of the Company are in Canadian dollars. The Company’s corporate office is based in Canada, and the exposure to exchange rate fluctuations arises mainly on foreign currencies, which are the US$.

 

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk. The Company has not entered into any derivative instruments to manage foreign exchange fluctuations; however, management monitors foreign exchange exposure, and if rates continue to fall, management will look at entering into derivative contracts. Should the US dollar and Canadian dollar exchange rate have changed by 5% at the period end, the impact to profit or loss would be +/- $98,000.

 

The Company’s monetary assets and liabilities denominated in Canadian dollars are shown here in US$:

There is an investor and consultant who is considered as a related party to the Company due to his significant voting rights through his common share ownership, Investor Right Warrants ownership and the short-term loans outstanding. These facts resulted in the investor and consultant having significant influence over the Company. As at March 31, 2026, the Company had a total of $862,644 of short-term loans (inclusive of interest payable) (December 31, 2025 - $854,518) balance owing to this investor and consultant. The terms of the short-term loans are payable on demand and bear interest at 8% per annum, compounded annually. As at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, this investor and consultant owned a total of 3,260,237 of Investor Rights Warrants of the Company. The Company incurred consulting fees and office subleasing fees to this investor and consultant of $93,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 (March 31, 2025 - $33,000). These amounts were recorded in consulting fees and general and administrative expenses respectively on the statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

 

There are investors who are considered related parties to the Company due to their collective ownership of Investor Rights Warrants, common shares, and outstanding short-term loans. These factors result in these individuals having significant influence over the Company. As at March 31, 2026, the Company had a total of CAD$1,307,321 of short-term loans (inclusive of interest payable) (December 31, 2025 – CAD$1,248,048) outstanding to these individuals. The terms of the short-term loans are payable on demand and bear interest at 8% per annum, compounded annually. As at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, these individuals held a total of 2,712,694 Investor Rights Warrants of the Company.

 

Capital Management

 

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to pursue the Company’s objectives. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business.

 

In the management of capital, the Company includes its components of equity (deficit). The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, issue debt, acquire or adjust the amount of cash and investments.

 

At this stage of the Company’s development, in order to maximize ongoing development efforts, the Company does not pay out dividends. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. The Company’s capital is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The preparation of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

The accounting estimates and assumptions discussed in this section are those that the Company considers to be the most critical in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. An accounting estimate or assumption is considered critical if both

 

  a) the nature of the estimate or assumption is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment involved, and

 

  b) the impact within a reasonable range of outcomes of the estimate and assumption is material to the financial condition.

 

The Company measurement of the warrant liability is considered to be a critical accounting estimate, given the Company is not publicly traded. Certain of the Company’s warrants are remeasured at fair value at the end of every reporting period given they are settled on a cashless basis. Key assumptions include the share price, probability of an initial public offering and timing of an initial public offering.

Board Practices

 

Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight

 

The Board of Directors oversees our business and considers the risks associated with our business strategy and decisions. The Board of Directors currently implements its risk oversight function as a whole.

 

Terms of Office

 

Each of our officers holds office until his or her successor is elected and qualified. Directors are appointed to serve for one year until the meeting of the Board of Directors following the annual meeting of shareholders and until their successors have been elected and qualified.

 

Director Independence

 

As a result of our expectation that our securities will be listed on NYSE American, we have elected to adhere to the rules of such exchange in determining whether a director is independent. The NYSE American Company Guide generally defines an “independent director” as a person other than an executive officer or employee of a Company, and that no director qualifies as independent unless the Company’s board of directors affirmatively determine that the directors does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Under Canadian National Instrument 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices, a director is considered to be independent if he or she is independent within the meaning of Section 1.4 of Canadian National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees, or “NI 52-110.”

 

Under such definition, Sean Bromley, Matt Chatterton and Mark Zorko are independent directors on the Company’s Board. However, our Shares are not currently quoted or listed on any national exchange or interdealer quotation system with a requirement that a majority of our Board be independent and, therefore, the Company is not subject to any director independence requirements as of the date hereof.

Each member of our Audit Committee can read and understand fundamental financial statements in accordance with applicable requirements. In arriving at these determinations, the Board has examined each Audit Committee member’s scope of experience and the nature of their employment in the corporate finance sector.

 

The Audit Committee is governed by an updated charter approved by our Board of Directors, a copy of which is attached as exhibit 99.9 to this Post-Qualification Amendment to Offering Statement on Form 1-A. The Audit Committee is responsible for, among other things:

The Compensation Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities relating to officer and director compensation, succession planning for senior management, development and retention of senior management and such other duties as directed by the Board.

 

Each of the Compensation Committee members satisfies the “independence” requirements of Section 803(A)(2) of the NYSE American Company Guide. The Compensation Committee will be responsible for, among other things:

Recovery (Clawback) Policy

 

On June 26, 2026, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the Modern Mining Technology Corp. Policy for the Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Incentive-Based Compensation (the “Recovery Policy”), with an effective date of June 26, 2026, which complies with Section 10D of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), Rule 10D-1 of the Exchange Act (“Rule 10D-1”), and the listing rules adopted by NYSE American (collectively, the “Final Clawback Rules”). The Board has designated the Compensation Committee of the Board as the administrator of the Recovery Policy.

 

77

 

 

The Recovery Policy provides for the mandatory recovery of erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation from current and former executive officers as defined in Rule 10D-1 (“Covered Officers”) of the Company in the event that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement, in accordance with the Final Clawback Rules. The recovery of such compensation applies regardless of whether a Covered Officer engaged in misconduct or otherwise caused or contributed to the requirement of an accounting restatement. Under the Recovery Policy, the Company may recoup from the Covered Officers erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation received within a lookback period of the three completed fiscal years preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement.

 

A copy of our Recovery Policy is filed as Exhibit 99.7 to this Post-Qualification Amendment to Offering Statement on Form 1-A.

 

Insider Trading Policy

 

Our Board adopted a written Insider Trading Policy on May 19, 2022, which is designed to ensure full compliance with the prohibitions against insider trading contained in Section 10(b) of, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and with comparable provisions of applicable Canadian securities legislation. The policy establishes comprehensive safeguards to prevent any director, officer, employee, household member, or entity controlled by such persons from trading the Company’s securities while in possession of material non-public information. The Insider Trading Policy will be made publicly available on the Company’s website at www.modernmining.com.

 

Corporate Governance Practices

 

We are a “foreign private issuer” under the federal securities laws of the United States and the NYSE American Company Guide. Under the federal securities laws of the United States, foreign private issuers are subject to different disclosure requirements than U.S.-domiciled registrants. We intend to take all actions necessary for us to maintain compliance as a foreign private issuer under the applicable corporate governance requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the rules adopted by the SEC and the NYSE American Company Guide.

 

Under the SEC rules and NYSE American Company Guide Section 110, a foreign private issuer is subject to less stringent corporate governance requirements. Subject to certain exceptions, the SEC and NYSE American permit a foreign private issuer to follow its home country practice in lieu of their respective rules and listing standards. Following our home country governance practices, as opposed to the requirements that would otherwise apply to a company listed on NYSE American, may provide less protection than is accorded to investors under the NYSE American Company Guide applicable to U.S. domestic issuers.

 

The Canadian securities regulatory authorities have issued corporate governance guidelines pursuant to National Policy 58-201 — Corporate Governance Guidelines (the “Corporate Governance Guidelines”), together with certain related disclosure requirements pursuant to Canadian National Instrument 58-101 — Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices. The Corporate Governance Guidelines are recommended as “best practices” for issuers to follow. We recognize that good corporate governance plays an important role in our overall success and in enhancing shareholder value and, accordingly, we have adopted, or in connection with the closing of this Offering will adopt, certain corporate governance policies and practices which reflect our consideration of the recommended Corporate Governance Guidelines.

Our three independent directors receive, effective from September 1, 2021, an annual cash retainer of $20,000 to be paid quarterly in arrears and an annual equity retainer equal to $30,000 to be granted in the form of RSUs under the 2022 Plan, with vesting requirements of one year from date of grant. In addition, the Chair of each Committee (Audit, Compensation and N&CG) will receive an additional $5,000 cash retainer while the Chair of the Board of Directors will receive an additional $12,500 cash retainer. As at March 31, 2026, $393,619 has been accrued related to the cash component of director compensation.

Kuljit (Jeet) Basi’s services as Chief Executive Officer of the Company are provided pursuant to a consulting agreement (the “Basi Consulting Agreement”) made effective March 8, 2022 between the Company and SVK. Mr. Basi is the principal of SVK. Pursuant to the Basi Consulting Agreement, Mr. Basi is paid a consulting fee of $15,000 per month and is entitled to be reimbursed for expenses incurred in connection with his services to the Company.

 

The Basi Consulting Agreement continues on an ongoing basis until otherwise terminated in accordance with the provisions thereof. In the event the Basi Consulting Agreement is terminated for any reason (other than for “Cause” (as such term is defined in the Basi Consulting Agreement)), the Company must provide SVK with 30 days’ written notice of such termination and must pay SVK a lump sum equivalent to 18 months’ worth of consulting fees. Mr. Basi has agreed to defer his compensation from October 1, 2022 until the completion of the Offering.

 

The Company and Mr. Basi, through SVK, entered into a new consulting agreement (the “New Basi Consulting Agreement”) dated July 9, 2026, which will become effective upon completion of the Offering. Pursuant to the New Basi Consulting Agreement, Mr. Basi (i) will be paid an annual consulting fee of $440,000, (ii) is entitled to an additional bonus of at least 50% of the annual fee, subject to certain key performance indicators and targets set by the Board, (iii) will be granted an aggregate of 2,340,000 equity awards, subject to the approval of the Board and, if necessary, the shareholders of the Company, with performance metrics to be determined by the Board at the time of the grant, and (iv) is entitled to be reimbursed for expenses incurred in connection with his services to the Company.

 

The New Basi Consulting Agreement continues on an ongoing basis until otherwise terminated in accordance with the provisions thereof.

In the event the New Basi Consulting Agreement is terminated by the Company within 12 months of a Change of Control, or Mr. Basi resigns for Good Reason (as each such term is defined in the New Basi Consulting Agreement), the Company shall pay SVK the Basi Break-Up Payment and any of Mr. Basi’s unvested equity awards granted under the Company’s equity incentive plan shall immediately vest in full.

The Thornberry Consulting Agreement continues on an ongoing basis until otherwise terminated in accordance with the provisions thereof. In the event the Thornberry Consulting Agreement is terminated for any reason (other than for cause, being any conduct that would justify termination of an employee at law), the Company must provide Thornberry with 30 days’ written notice of such termination and must pay Thornberry a lump sum equivalent to 12 months’ worth of consulting fees (the “Thornberry Break-Up Payment”). In the event the Thornberry Consulting Agreement is terminated by the Company within 12 months of a Change of Control, or Mr. Thornberry resigns for Good Reason (as each such term is defined in the Thornberry Consulting Agreement), the Company shall pay Mr. Thornberry the Thornberry Break-Up Payment and any of Mr. Thornberry’s unvested equity awards granted under the Company’s equity incentive plan shall immediately vest in full.

 

Basil Botha served as Principal Technical Advisor to the Company as provided pursuant to a transition letter (the “Botha Transition Letter”) entered into as of February 28, 2022 between Basil Botha, his personal services company (616538 BC Ltd.) and the Company. Pursuant to the Botha Transition Letter, the Company agreed to: (1) pay all outstanding expenses previously incurred by Mr. Botha on behalf of the Company in the amount of approximately $13,000; (2) pay all accrued salary owing to him from September 1, 2021 to February 28, 2022 in the amount of $78,000; and (3) commencing March 1, 2022, pay Mr. Botha and/or his consulting company, $14,000 per month. Such salary will be payable until eighteen (18) months following the date of completion of the Reg A Offering; (4) and a one-time bonus of $50,000 if the IPO is successful, and (5) pay all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Mr. Botha on behalf of the Company and in accordance with the Company’s reimbursement policies. It has also been further agreed that Mr. Botha’s $78,050 in shareholder advances he made to the Company would be repaid withing ten (10) days of closing of the Reg A Offering.

 

Pursuant to the Botha Transition Letter, Mr. Botha had agreed to ensure that the Company has a solid basis for the ordering of equipment and commissioning of the Greenville Facility. In addition, Mr. Botha had agreed to provide the following scope of work to the Company: human resources; staff training and recruitment; security; safety; procurement of feedstock; instituting production metrics for quality control and recoveries; set-up the laboratory and any other aspects relating to the operation of the Greenville Facility. From March 1, 2022 onward, Mr. Botha devoted 100% of his time to the Company’s affairs which included spending two to three weeks per month at the Greenville Facility.

 

81

 

 

On June 15 and 16, 2023, Mr. Botha filed claims against the Company in the small claims court of British Columbia, Canada, for approximately $30,000 for his unpaid consulting invoices for April and May 2023. On June 30, 2023, Mr. Botha and the Company entered into an amending agreement whereby Mr. Botha agreed to defer his compensation from April 2023 until the closing of the Reg A Offering. Any unpaid invoices will accrue interest at 2% compounded monthly. Additionally, following the closing of the Offering, Mr. Botha’s salary will be increased to $15,000 per month for a period of twenty-four (24) months following the completion of the Reg A Offering. Mr. Botha also withdrew his claims and agreed not to file any more claims against the Company so long as payments due to him are paid within thirty (30) days of the completion of the Reg A Offering.

 

In February 2026, Mr. Botha passed away. Any outstanding obligations owing by the Company to Mr. Botha will be paid to his estate; however, future obligations of both parties, including performance-based compensation, have terminated. Mr. Botha’s expertise and responsibilities were passed on to other team members prior to his death, therefore the loss of Mr. Botha is not anticipated to have an impact on the Company’s future plans.

 

David Whitney’s services as Chief Financial Officer of the Company were provided pursuant to a consulting agreement (the “CFO Agreement”) made effective August 27, 2024 between the Company and Sea Island Consulting Ltd. (“Sea Island”). Mr. Whitney is the principal of Sea Island. Pursuant to the CFO Agreement, Mr. Whitney was paid a consulting fee of $4,250 per month and is entitled to be reimbursed for expenses incurred in connection with his services to the Company. Mr. Whitney resigned as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer on June 24, 2026, and the CFO Agreement was terminated on the same date.

 

Equity Incentive Plan

 

Introduction

 

The principal features of our equity incentive plan (the “2022 Plan”) are summarized below. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual text of the 2022 Plan, which is filed as an exhibit to the Offering Circular.

 

The 2022 Plan was approved by the Company’s shareholders on July 6, 2022.

 

The principal purpose of the 2022 Plan is to assist us in securing and retaining the services of eligible employees, officers, directors and consultants and motivate such Participants so that they may increase their equity participation in the Company and benefit from increases in the value of the Shares.

 

Eligibility

 

Our 2022 Plan provides for the grant of incentive share options (“ISOs”) to employees, including employees of any parent or subsidiary, and for the grant of non-incentive share options (“NIOs”), share appreciation rights, restricted share unit awards and other forms of share awards to employees, directors, and consultants, including employees and consultants of our affiliates. There are additional restrictions on the awards of ISOs to shareholders who own greater than 10% of our Shares.

 

Share Reserve

 

The maximum number of Shares available for grant under the 2022 Plan and our other security-based compensation arrangements will be determined from time to time by the Board of Directors, but in any event, will not exceed 15% of the total Shares issued and outstanding from time to time. As at the date hereof, we have no securities convertible into Shares outstanding under the 2022 Plan.

 

The calculation of the share reserve does not limit the granting of awards that do not involve the issuance of Shares to the Participant, such as share appreciation rights. The following counting provisions will be in effect in the calculation of the share reserve under the 2022 Plan:

 

  to the extent that an award (or a portion thereof) is exercised, terminates, expires or lapses for any reason or an award is settled in cash without the delivery of Shares, any Shares subject to the award at such time will be available for future grants under the 2022 Plan;

 

  to the extent that Shares awarded by us are forfeited back to or repurchased by us prior to vesting, such Shares will be available for future grants under the 2022 Plan;

 

  to the extent that Shares are reacquired or withheld by us to satisfy the grant, exercise price or tax withholding obligation with respect to any award under the 2022 Plan, such Shares will be available for future grants under the 2022 Plan; and

 

  to the extent that Shares are issued through the assumption or substitution of equity-based awards by an acquired company, the number of Shares issuable under the 2022 Plan shall not be reduced.

 

82

 

 

Plan Administration

 

The 2022 Plan provides that the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors may administer the 2022 Plan. The Board of Directors may delegate its authority to one or more officers to (i) designate employees other than officers of the Company to receive specified share awards; and (ii) determine the number of Shares to be subject to those awards.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of the 2022 Plan, the administrator has the authority to select the persons to whom awards are to be made, to determine the number of Shares to be subject to awards, and the terms and conditions of awards, and to make all other determinations and to take all other actions necessary or advisable for the administration of the 2022 Plan. The administrator generally has the authority to effect, with the consent of any adversely affected Participant: (i) the reduction of the exercise, purchase, or strike price of any outstanding award; (ii) the cancellation of any outstanding award and the grant in substitution therefore of other awards, cash, or other consideration, as determined by the Board of Directors in its full discretion; or (iii) any other action that is treated as a repricing under generally accepted accounting principles.

 

The administrator may terminate, amend, or modify the 2022 Plan, provided that such action does not materially impair the existing rights of any Participant without such Participant’s written consent. However, we must generally obtain shareholder approval to the extent required by applicable law, rule, or regulation (including any applicable stock exchange rule).

 

Awards

 

Share Options

 

ISOs and NIOs are granted under share option agreements adopted by the plan administrator. Each grant of share options will specifically designate the options are either ISOs or NIOs at the date of grant. The plan administrator determines the term and the exercise price for share options, within the terms and conditions of the 2022 Plan, provided that (i) the term of a share option may not exceed ten (10) years from the date of grant; and (ii) the exercise price of a share option generally cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Shares on the date of grant. Share options granted under the 2022 Plan will vest at the discretion of the administrator at the rate specified in the share option agreement and may vest in one or more installments after the grant date and need not be in equal amounts. Unless otherwise set out in the award agreement or consented to by the Board of Directors, share options are not assignable or transferable.

 

An ISO may be purchased by the option holder by cash, certified cheque, bank draft, money order or in any other form of consideration set forth in the option agreement. In addition to the above, an NIO may be purchased by the option holder by a “net exercise” arrangement pursuant to which we will reduce the number of Shares issuable upon exercise by the largest whole number of shares with a market value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price.

 

The aggregate fair market value, determined at the time of grant, of the Shares with respect to ISOs that are exercisable for the first time by an option holder during any calendar year under all of our equity compensation plans may not exceed $100,000. Share options or portions thereof that exceed such limit will generally be treated as NIOs.

 

No ISO may be granted to any person who, at the time of the grant, owns or is deemed to own Shares possessing more than 10% of our total combined voting power or that of any of our affiliates unless (i) the option exercise price is at least 110% of the fair market value of the shares subject to the option on the date of grant; and (ii) the option is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date of grant.

 

Restricted Share Units

 

Restricted share units are granted under restricted share unit award agreements adopted by the plan administrator. At the time of the grant of each restricted share unit, the Board of Directors will determine the consideration, if any, to be paid by the Participant upon delivery of the Shares. The consideration, if any, can be in any form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board of Directors and permissible under applicable law. The plan administrator will determine any vesting restrictions on the restricted share units, at its sole discretion.

 

83

 

 

A restricted share unit may be settled by cash, delivery of Shares, a combination of cash and Shares, as deemed appropriate by the plan administrator, or in any other form of consideration set forth in the restricted share unit agreement. Additionally, dividend equivalents may be credited in respect of shares covered by a restricted share unit.

 

Share Appreciation Rights

 

Share appreciation rights are granted under share appreciation grant agreements adopted by the plan administrator. The plan administrator determines the purchase price or strike price for a share appreciation right, which generally cannot be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Shares on the date of grant. A share appreciation right granted under the 2022 Plan vests at the rate specified in the share appreciation right agreement as determined by the plan administrator.

 

To exercise a share appreciation right, the Participant must provide written notice of exercise to us as provided for in the share appreciation right agreement. Upon exercise, the share appreciation right payable may be settled by cash, delivery of Shares, a combination of cash and Shares, as deemed appropriate by the plan administrator, or in any other form of consideration set forth in the share appreciation right agreement.

 

Unless otherwise set out in the award agreement or consented to by the Board of Directors, share appreciation rights are not assignable or transferable.

 

Other Share-Based Awards

 

Under the 2022 Plan, the plan administrator may grant other awards based in whole or in part by reference to our Shares. The plan administrator will set the number of Shares under the share award and all other terms and conditions of such awards.

 

Termination of Employee, Death or Disability

 

Share Options and Share Appreciation Rights

 

Except as otherwise provided in the award agreement, a Participant’s share options or share appreciation rights will expire 90 days after a Participant ceases to act as a Participant, other than by reason of death, disability or termination for cause, and subject to amendment at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Under the 2022 Plan, in the event of the death or disability of a participant, the participant (in the case of disability) or the participant’s estate (in the case of death) shall have 12 months in which to exercise the outstanding share options or share appreciation rights, subject to their earlier expiry in accordance with the award agreement.

 

Except as otherwise provided in the award agreement, if a Participant is terminated for cause, the share options or share appreciation rights, as applicable, will terminate immediately and the Participant will not be eligible to exercise the options or share appreciation rights from the date of termination.

 

Restricted Share Units

 

Except as otherwise provided in the applicable restricted share unit agreement, restricted share units that have not vested will be forfeited once the participant’s continuous service ends for any reason.

 

Adjustments

 

The 2022 Plan contains typical adjustment provisions in the event that certain events occur, including a corporate transaction, a change in our capital structure or a change of control of the Company.

 

84

 

 

Change in Capital Structure

 

In the event there is a specified type of change in our capital structure, such as a share split, reverse share split, or recapitalization, appropriate adjustments will be made to (i) the class and maximum number of Shares reserved for issuance under the 2022 Plan, (ii) the class and maximum number of Shares by which the share reserve may increase automatically each year, (iii) the class and maximum number of Shares that may be issued on the exercise of ISOs, and (iv) the class and number of Shares and exercise price, strike price, or purchase price, if applicable, of all outstanding share awards.

 

Corporate Transactions

 

The following applies to share awards under the 2022 Plan in the event of a corporate transaction, unless otherwise provided in a participant’s share award agreement or other written agreement with us or one of our affiliates or unless otherwise expressly provided by the plan administrator at the time of grant.

 

Under the 2022 Plan, a corporate transaction is defined to include: (i) a sale of all or substantially all of our assets; (ii) the sale or disposition of more than 50% of our outstanding securities; (iii) the consummation of a merger or consolidation where we do not survive the transaction; and (iv) the consummation of a merger or consolidation where we do survive the transaction but the shares of our Shares outstanding before such transaction are converted or exchanged into other property by virtue of the transaction.

 

In the event of a corporate transaction, the Board of Directors may take one or more of the following actions with respect to the awards:

 

  arrange for any share awards outstanding under the 2022 Plan to be assumed, continued or substituted for by any surviving or acquiring corporation (or its parent company), and/or arrange for any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by us with respect to the share award to assigned to the successor (or its parent company);

 

  accelerate the vesting of any awards to a date prior to the effective time of the corporate transaction, with any such award terminating if not exercised prior to the effective time of the corporate transaction;

 

  arrange for the lapse, in whole or in part, of any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by us with respect to the awards;

 

  cancel or arrange for the cancellation of the awards to the extent not vested or exercised prior to the effective time of the corporate transaction in exchange for cash consideration as determined by the Board of Directors; or

 

  that the holder of such share award may not exercise such share award but instead will receive a payment equal in value to the excess (if any) of (i) the value of the property the Participant would have received upon the exercise of the share award over (ii) any exercise price payable by such holder in connection with such exercise.

 

The Board of Directors does not need to take the same actions with respect to all awards or with respect to all Participants. The Board of the Directors may also take different actions with respect to the vested and unvested portions of an award.

 

Change of Control

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

 

The following table and accompanying footnotes set forth certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of the Company’s Shares, the Investor Rights Warrants and the Convertible Debentures, immediately prior to and immediately after the completion of this Offering, by:

 

  each of our named executive officers and directors;

 

  all of our current executive officers and directors as a group; and

 

  each person or entity (or group of affiliated persons or entities) known by us to be the beneficial owner of 5% or more of our Shares, the Investor Rights Warrants and the Convertible Debentures (by number or by voting power).

 

As described in “Description of Share Capital and Articles of Incorporation–Warrants,” the Company granted to holders of Investor Rights Warrants the right to vote, voting together with Shares as a single class, on any matter at any meeting of shareholders of the Company. Each of the Investor Rights Warrants entitles the holder thereof to one vote per Investor Rights Warrant. The Investor Rights Agreement will terminate upon completion of the Offering, at which time the Investor Rights Warrants will automatically convert to Shares as described elsewhere in this Offering Circular, and consequently, the voting rights granted under the Investor Rights Agreement to the holders of the Investor Rights Warrants will also terminate at such time. Pursuant to the Convertible Debentures IRA, the Company also granted holders of the Convertible Debentures a vote on any matter at any meetings of shareholders of the Company, voting together with Shares as a single class. For the purposes of the Convertible Debenture IRA, each $2.40 of Convertible Debentures will equal to one Share, entitling the holder thereof to one vote.

 

To our knowledge, each person or entity named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to our Shares, the Investor Rights Warrants and the Convertible Debentures “beneficially owned” (as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) by such person or entity, subject to applicable community property laws and except as otherwise set forth in the footnotes to the table. The SEC has defined “beneficial” ownership of a security to mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of voting power and/or investment power. Pursuant to the rules of the SEC, common shares which an individual or group has a right to acquire within 60 days pursuant to the exercise of options or warrants are deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of such individual or group, but are not deemed to be beneficially owned and outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any person shown in the table.

 

The percentages ownership for the Shares, Convertible Debentures and Investor Rights Warrants immediately prior to this Offering, are based on 5,552,200 Shares, 9,705,696 Investor Rights Warrants outstanding and $3,423,690 principal amount of Convertible Debentures outstanding, respectively, and as of the date immediately prior to the completion of this Offering. Such ownership percentages do not represent the voting percentages of each individual holder. Holders of the Shares, Convertible Debentures and Investor Rights Warrants all vote together as a single class. The Investor Rights Warrants and the Convertible Debentures will automatically convert to Shares upon completion of the Offering as described elsewhere in this Offering Circular.

  On 26 May 2023, the Company modified the terms of the Investor Rights Warrants, allowing them to automatically convert into common shares upon the closing of an IPO on a cashless basis and based on the IPO share price. This resulted in the shares issuable under the warrants to be variable, thus the instrument does not meet the “fixed-for-fixed” criteria. As a result, the Company reclassified the warrants from equity instrument into financial liabilities during the year ended 31 December 2023.

During the year ended December 31, 2024

The 2024 Debenture Indenture executed in relation to the 2024 Debentures also provides that in the event the Company completes a U.S. listing (such as the Offering), the principal amount plus any accrued unpaid interest will automatically convert into Shares at a conversion price equal to the lessor of (A) a 40% discount to the Offering Price, and (B) $5.00. In connection with the 2024 2024 Debenture Offering, the Company paid $2,100 in commissions to an investment dealer/broker.

If an IRA Warrant Trigger is satisfied, the IRA Unit Warrants will automatically convert on a cashless basis and assuming an Offering Price of $4.25 and a $0.085 (C$0.10625) exercise price, holders of the IRA Unit Warrants will receive 0.98 Shares per IRA Unit Warrant held, subject to the IRA Blocker (as defined herein).

  The Company entered into an investment agreement pursuant to which the Company issued 47,058 common shares to the investor in exchange for $200,000 in cash.

Shares

 

General

 

All of our Shares are fully paid and non-assessable. Our Shares are issued in registered form and may or may not be certificated although every shareholder is entitled at their option to a share certificate that complies with the BCBCA. Except as provided in the Investment Canada Act (Canada), there are no limitations on the rights of shareholders who are not residents of Canada to hold and vote Shares.

 

Dividends

 

Holders of our Shares are entitled to receive, from funds legally available therefor, dividends when and as declared by the Board of Directors, subject to any prior rights of the holders of shares with special rights if issued. The BCBCA provides that a corporation may not declare or pay a dividend if there are reasonable grounds for believing that the corporation is, or would be after the payment of the dividend, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due or the realizable value of its assets would thereby be less than the aggregate of its liabilities and stated capital of all classes of shares of its capital. These rights are subject to the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to any other series or class of shares ranking senior in priority to or on a pro rata basis with the holders of Shares with respect to dividends.

 

Voting Rights

 

Each Share is entitled to one vote on all matters upon which the Shares are entitled to vote.

 

Liquidation

 

With respect to a distribution of assets in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, whether voluntary or involuntary, or any other distribution of our assets for the purposes of winding up our affairs, assets available for distribution among the holders of Shares shall be distributed among the holders of the Shares on a pro rata basis, subject to any prior rights of the holders of shares with special rights if issued.

Shareholders’ Rights

 

The BCBCA, our notice of articles and our articles govern us and our relations with our shareholders. The following is a summary of certain rights of holders of our Shares under our articles and the BCBCA. This summary is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the BCBCA, our notice of articles and articles.

 

Stated Objects or Purposes

 

Our articles do not contain any stated objects or purposes and do not place any limitations on the business that we may carry on.

 

94

 

 

Shareholder Meetings

 

Pursuant to the BCBCA, we must hold an annual meeting of our shareholders at least once every calendar year at a time and place determined by the Board of Directors, provided that the meeting must not be held later than 15 months after the preceding annual meeting. A meeting of our shareholders may be held at any place within British Columbia or, if determined by our directors, any location outside British Columbia.

 

Subject to any special rights or restrictions attached to any shares, voting at a meeting of shareholders may be conducted by way of poll or by show of hands or, in certain other circumstances as required by the BCBCA, in any other manner that adequately discloses the intentions of the shareholders present. Accordingly, the articles provide that: (a) on a poll, every shareholder entitled to vote has one vote in respect of each share held by that shareholder that carries the right to vote on that poll and may exercise that vote either in person or by proxy; and (b) on a vote by show of hands, every person present who is a shareholder or proxy holder and entitled to vote at the meeting has one vote.

 

A poll may be demanded by the chairman of the meeting or by any shareholder present in person or by proxy. However, if such a poll is demanded, the poll must be taken at the meeting or within seven days after the date of the meeting, as the chair of the meeting so directs, and in the manner, at the time and at the place that the chair of the meeting directs.

 

A special resolution is a resolution passed by not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by the shareholders entitled to vote on the resolution at a meeting at which a quorum is present. An ordinary resolution is a resolution passed by not less than a simple majority of the votes cast by the shareholders entitled to vote on the resolution at a meeting at which a quorum is present.

 

Notice of Meeting of Shareholders

 

Our articles provide that we must send notice of the date, time and location of any meeting of shareholders (including, without limitation, any notice specifying the intention to propose a resolution as an exceptional resolution, a special resolution or a special separate resolution, and any notice to consider approving an amalgamation into a foreign jurisdiction, an arrangement or the adoption of an amalgamation agreement, and any notice of a general meeting, class meeting or series meeting), in the manner provided in the articles, or in such other manner, if any, as may be prescribed by ordinary resolution (whether previous notice of the resolution has been given or not), to each shareholder entitled to attend the meeting, to each director and to the auditor of the Company, unless the articles otherwise provide, at least 21 days before the meeting.

 

Quorum

 

Our articles provide that, subject to the special rights and restrictions attached to the shares of any affected class or series of shares, the quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of shareholders is one or more persons, present in person or by proxy and together holding or representing by proxy shares carrying at five percent of the votes entitled to be voted at the meeting.

 

95

 

 

Record Date for Notice of Meeting of Shareholders

 

Our board may fix, in advance, a date as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive notice of a meeting of shareholders, but such record date shall not precede by more than two months or by less than 21 days the date on which the meeting is to be held. If no record date is fixed, the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive notice of a meeting of shareholders shall be 5:00 p.m. on the day immediately preceding the day on which the notice is given or, if no notice is given, the beginning of the meeting.

 

Ability to Requisition Special Meetings of the Shareholders

 

The BCBCA provides that the holders of not less than five percent of the issued shares of a corporation that carry the right to vote at a meeting sought to be held may give notice to the directors requiring them to call a meeting for the purposes stated in the requisition.

 

Authorization of Certain Corporate Action

 

Under the BCBCA, certain substantive changes to the charter documents of the corporation, such as an alteration of the restrictions, if any, on the business carried on by the corporation, a change in the name of the corporation, an increase, reduction or elimination of the maximum number of shares that the corporation is authorized to issue out of any class or series of shares, or an alteration of the special rights and restrictions attached to issued shares, require a resolution of the type specified in the articles. Accordingly, if the articles fail to specify the type of resolution or, if the articles do not contain such a provision, a special resolution passed by at least two-thirds of the votes cast by shareholders on the resolution. Other fundamental changes such as a proposed amalgamation or arrangement require a similar special resolution passed by the holders of shares of each class entitled to vote at a general meeting and the holders of all classes of shares adversely affected by such changes.

 

Under the Company’s articles, the directors have the authority to exercise all such powers of the Company as are not, by the BCBCA or by its articles, required to be exercised by the shareholders of the Company. Such powers include the power to alter the restrictions, if any, on the business carried on by the Company, to change the name of the Company, to subdivide or consolidate all or any of the Company’s unissued, or fully paid issued, shares, and to alter the identifying name of any of its shares.

 

Dissent Rights

 

The BCBCA provides that our shareholders are entitled to exercise dissent rights and demand payment of the fair value of their shares in certain circumstances and provided that the procedures set out in the BCBCA are followed. For this purpose, there is no distinction between listed and unlisted shares. Dissent rights of holders of any class of our shares exist when we resolve to:

 

  (a) alter the articles to alter restrictions on our powers or on the business we are permitted to carry on;

 

  (b) adopt an amalgamation agreement;

 

96

 

 

  (c) approve an amalgamation into a foreign jurisdiction;

 

  (d) approve an arrangement, the terms of which arrangement permit dissent;

 

  (e) authorize or ratify the sale, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all our’ undertaking;

 

  (f) authorize our continuation into a jurisdiction other than British Columbia; or

 

  (g) pass any other resolution, if dissent is authorized by the resolution. In addition, a court order in connection with an arrangement proposed by us may permit shareholders to dissent if the arrangement is adopted.

 

Action by Written Consent

 

Under the BCBCA, shareholders can take action by written resolution and without a meeting only if all shareholders sign the written resolution.

 

Directors

 

Number of Directors and Election

 

Under the BCBCA, our charter documents consist of (i) the notice of articles, which sets forth the name of the corporation, the corporation’s registered and records office, the names and addresses of our directors and the amount and type of authorized capital, and (ii) the articles, which govern the management of the corporation, set out any special rights or restrictions attached to our shares and establishes the procedures for changing the number of directors on our board.

 

Accordingly, as we will become a “public company” upon completion of the Offering, as such term is defined in the BCBCA, the articles provide that the Board of Directors must consist of the greater of: (i) three directors; and (ii) such number of directors equal to the number of directors most recently elected by ordinary resolution at a meeting of shareholders. Our Board of Directors currently consists of four directors. Our articles provide that our board may appoint one or more additional directors, who shall hold office for a term expiring not later than the close of the next annual meeting of shareholders, to fill any casual vacancy occurring on the Board of Directors provided the total number of directors so appointed may not exceed one-third the number of directors elected at the previous annual meeting of shareholders. Shareholders of a corporation governed by the BCBCA elect directors by ordinary resolution at each annual meeting of shareholders at which such an election is required.

 

Director Qualifications

 

Under the BCBCA a director must not be:

 

  (a) under eighteen years of age;

 

  (b) found by a court, in Canada or elsewhere, to be incapable of managing their own affairs;

 

  (c) an undischarged bankrupt; or

 

97

 

 

  (d) convicted in or out of the Province of British Columbia of an offence in connection with the promotion, formation or management of a corporation or unincorporated business, or of an offence involving fraud, unless:

 

  (i) a court orders otherwise,

 

  (ii) 5 years have elapsed since the last to occur of: (A) the expiration of the period set for suspension of the passing of sentence without a sentence having been passed; (B) the imposition of a fine; (C) the conclusion of the term of any imprisonment; and (D) the conclusion of the term of any probation imposed, or

 

  (iii) a pardon was granted or issued, or a record suspension was ordered, under the Criminal Records Act (Canada) and the pardon or record suspension, as the case may be, has not been revoked or ceased to have effect.

 

Removal of Directors

 

Under the BCBCA, a corporation’s shareholders may, by special resolution, remove any director before the expiration of their term of office, and may, by ordinary resolution, elect or appoint a director to fill the resulting vacancy. If the shareholders do not contemporaneously elect or appoint a director to fill the vacancy created by the removal of a director, then the directors may appoint, or the shareholders may elect or appoint by ordinary resolution, a director to fill that vacancy for the remainder of such term. Under the BCBCA, a director’s term expires at the next annual meeting of shareholders. A director may be nominated for re-election to the Board of Directors at the end of the director’s term.

 

Vacancies on the Board of Directors

 

Under the BCBCA, vacancies that exist on the Board of Directors, except a vacancy resulting from an increase in the number or the minimum or maximum number of directors or a failure to elect the number or minimum number of directors provided for in the articles, may be filled by the Board of Directors if the remaining directors constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum, the remaining directors may only act for the purpose of appointing directors up to such number so as to establish a quorum or summon a meeting of shareholders to fill any vacancies on the Board of Directors or for any other purpose permitted by the BCBCA.

 

Limitation of Personal Liability of Directors and Officers

 

Under the BCBCA, in exercising their powers and discharging their duties, directors and officers must act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the corporation and exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances. No provision in the corporation’s articles, resolutions or contracts can relieve a director or officer from the duty to act in accordance with the BCBCA or relieve a director from liability for a breach thereof. However, a director will not be liable for breaching his or her duty to act in accordance with the BCBCA if the director relied in good faith on: (i) financial statements represented to them by an officer or in a written report of the auditor to fairly reflect the financial condition of the corporation; or (ii) a report of a person whose profession lends credibility to a statement made by such person.

 

98

 

 

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

Under Division 5 of Part 5 of the BCBCA, we may indemnify any present or former director or officer or an individual who acts or has acted at our request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another corporation or entity, against all judgments, penalties or fines awarded or imposed in, or amounts paid in settlement of, a proceeding in which any such director, officer or other individual, by reason of him or her being or having been a director of officer of, or holding or having held a position equivalent to that of a director or officer of, our company or an associated corporation (a) is or may be joined as a party, or (b) is or may be liable for or in respect of a judgment, penalty or fine in, or expenses related to, the proceeding. In addition we may, after the final disposition of any such proceeding, pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by any such director, officer or other individual in respect of that proceeding, or in certain circumstances we may pay such expenses as they are incurred. However, Division 5 of Part 5 of the BCBCA also provides that we must not provide such indemnification or payment of expenses in certain circumstances including if, in relation to the subject matter of the proceeding, such director, officer or other individual did not act honestly and in good faith with a view to our best interests, or, as the case may be, to the best interests of the associated corporation, and if, in the case of a proceeding other than a civil proceeding, such director, officer or other individual did not have reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful.

 

Under our articles, our Board of Directors must cause us to indemnify our directors and officers and former directors and officers, and their respective heirs and personal or other legal representatives to the greatest extent permitted by Division 5 of Part 5 of the BCBCA.

 

We have entered into indemnity agreements with each of our directors and officers agreeing to indemnify them, to the fullest extent permitted by law, against all liability, loss, harm damage cost or expense, reasonably incurred by the director in respect of any threatened, pending, ongoing or completed claim or civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other action or proceeding made or commenced against him or in which he is or was involved by reason of the fact that he is or was a director of our Company.

 

Sources of Dividends

 

Dividends may be declared at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Under the BCBCA, the directors may not declare, and we may not pay, dividends if there are reasonable grounds for believing that (i) we are, or would after such payment be unable to pay our liabilities as they become due or (ii) the realizable value of our assets would be less than the aggregate of our liabilities and of our stated capital of all classes of shares.

 

Amendments to the Notice of Articles and Articles

 

Subject to the articles and the BCBCA, our directors may by resolution:

 

  (a) change the name of the corporation or adopt or change any translation of that name;

 

  (b) create one or more classes or series of shares or, if none of the shares of a class or series of shares are allotted or issued, eliminate that class or series of shares;

 

99

 

 

  (c) increase, reduce or eliminate the maximum number of shares that we are authorized to issue out of any class or series of shares or establish a maximum number of shares that we are authorized to issue out of any class or series of shares for which no maximum is established;

 

  (d) if we are authorized to issue shares of a class of shares with par value: (i) decrease the par value of those shares, (ii) if none of the shares of that class of shares are allotted or issued, increase the par value of those shares, (iii) subdivide all or any of its unissued or fully paid issued shares with par value into shares of smaller par value, or (iv) consolidate all or any of its unissued or fully paid issued shares with par value into shares of larger par value;

 

  (e) change all or any of our unissued or fully paid issued shares with par value into shares without par value or all or any of its unissued shares without par value into shares with par value;

 

  (f) alter the identifying name of any of our shares; or

 

  (g) otherwise alter our shares or authorized share structure when required or permitted to do so by the BCBCA.

 

Interested Directors Transactions

 

Under the BCBCA, a director or senior officer of a company holds a disclosable interest in a contract or transaction if (a) the contract or transaction is material to the company, (b) the company has entered, or proposes to enter, into the contract or transaction, and (c) either the director or senior officer has a material interest in the contract or transaction, or the director or senior officer is a director or senior officer of, or has a material interest in, a person who has a material interest in the contract or transaction. A director who has a disclosable interest in a contract or transaction is not entitled to vote on any directors’ resolution to approve that contract or transaction. Further, subject to the BCBCA, generally a director or senior officer of the company is liable to account to the company for any profit that accrues to him or her under or as a result of a contract or transaction in which he or she holds a disclosable interest. However in certain circumstances a director or senior officer of the company will not be liable to account for and may retain any such profit including if the contract or transaction is approved by the directors after the nature and extent of the disclosable interest has been disclosed to the directors, or if the contract or transaction is approved by a special resolution of the shareholders after the nature and extent of the disclosable interest has been disclosed to the shareholders entitled to vote on that resolution. The disclosure of the nature and extent of a disclosable interest may be made to the company in writing or be evidenced in a consent resolution, the minutes of a meeting or other record deposited in the company’s records office.

 

Committees

 

Under the BCBCA and our articles, our directors may, by way of resolution, appoint one or more committees consisting of directors from their number or other persons, as desired, and delegate to such committee members certain powers of the directors.

 

100

 

 

Derivative Actions

 

Under the BCBCA, a complainant (as defined below) may, with leave of the court, prosecute or defend a legal proceeding in the name and on behalf of the corporation to enforce a right, duty or obligation owed to the corporation that could be enforced by the corporation itself or to obtain damages for any breach of such a right, duty or obligation. A “complainant” includes, in relation to us, a shareholder or director of the corporation. Accordingly, no such action may be brought and no such intervention in an action may be made unless the court is satisfied that:

 

  (a) the complainant has made reasonable efforts to cause our directors to prosecute or defend the legal proceeding;

 

  (b) notice of the application for leave has been given to us and to any other person the court may order;

 

  (c) the complainant is acting in good faith; and

 

  (d) it appears to the court that it is in the best interests of the company for the legal proceeding to be prosecuted or defended.

 

Under the BCBCA, the court in a derivative action may make any order it thinks fit, including orders pertaining to the awarding of costs and the indemnification of certain individuals, including the complainant. Further, no legal proceeding prosecuted or defended in regards to a derivative action brought forward by a complainant may be discontinued, settled or dismissed without the approval of the court under the BCBCA.

 

Oppression Remedy

 

Under the BCBCA, a shareholder of a corporation or any other person who, in the discretion of the court, is an appropriate person to make an application has the right to apply to the court on the grounds that:

 

  (a) the affairs of the corporation are being or have been conducted, or that the powers of the directors are being or have been exercised, in a manner oppressive to one or more of the shareholders, including the applicant; or

 

  (b) some act of the corporation has been done or is threatened, or that some resolution of the shareholders or of the shareholders holding shares of a class or series of shares has been passed or is proposed, that is unfairly prejudicial to one or more of the shareholders, including the applicant.

 

On such an application, the court can grant a variety of remedies, ranging from an order restraining the conduct complained of to an order requiring the corporation to repurchase the shareholder’s shares or an order liquidating the corporation.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The Company is offering up to 9,411,764 Shares on a “best efforts” basis at a price of $4.25 per Share. The minimum subscription per investor is $850.00, or 200 Shares. In order to satisfy the Minimum Quantitative Requirements, we must sell at least 3,529,412 Shares in order to conduct a closing in this Offering.

 

The Company intends to market the Shares in this Offering using both online and offline means. Online marketing may take the form of contacting potential investors through electronic media, television broadcast advertising and posting our Offering Circular or “testing the waters” materials on an online investment platform. All advertising will direct investors to the online investment platform. This Offering Circular will be furnished to prospective investors via download from the Company’s website (www.modernmining.com) on a landing page that relates to the offering.

 

This is a continuous offering pursuant to Rule 251(d)(3)(i)(F) of Regulation A. We will commence this Offering within two calendar days of the qualification by the SEC of the offering statement of which this offering circular forms a part and will continue to offer the Shares for an indefinite period of time (which may exceed 30 days from the date of qualification) until the Offering is terminated. This Offering will terminate at the earliest of (i) the date at which the Maximum Offering amount has been sold, (ii) one year from the date upon which the SEC qualifies the offering statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part, and (iii) the date at which this offering is earlier terminated by the Company, in its sole discretion, including after the Company reaches its internal target amount raised of $15,000,001 (such earliest date, the “Termination Date”).

 

We intend to complete one closing for this Offering and will determine the closing date at our discretion based on our review of subscriptions received and consultation with Digital Offering. While we intend to close the Offering as soon as possible following the qualification by the SEC of the offering statement of which this offering circular forms a part, we will not close the Offering until the Shares are approved for listing on NYSE American.

On the closing date, funds tendered by investors with their subscriptions will be made available to us and we will issue such investors their respective Shares.

 

Engagement Agreement with Digital Offering

 

We are currently party to an engagement agreement dated August 27, 2025, with Digital Offering. Digital Offering has agreed to act as our lead managing selling agent for the Offering. Digital Offering has made no commitment to purchase all or any part of the Shares but has agreed to use its best efforts to sell such Shares in the Offering. As such, Digital Offering is an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. Digital Offering is under no obligation to purchase any of the Shares or arrange for the sale of any specific number or dollar amount of Shares. The term of the engagement agreement will continue until the earliest to occur of: (a) the date that either party gives the other at least ten (10) days written notice of the termination of the engagement agreement, which termination may occur with or without cause, (b) July 31, 2026, and (c) the date that the Offering is consummated (such applicable date, the “Termination Date”). The engagement agreement provides that Digital Offering may engage other Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) member broker-dealers that are registered with the Commission to participate as soliciting dealers for this Offering. We refer to these other broker-dealers as soliciting dealers or members of the selling group. Upon engagement of any such soliciting dealer, Digital Offering will be permitted to re-allow all or part of its fees and expense allowance as described below. Such soliciting dealer will also be entitled to receive the benefits of our engagement agreement with Digital Offering, including the indemnification rights arising under the engagement agreement upon their execution of a soliciting dealer agreement with Digital Offering that confirms that such soliciting dealer is so entitled. As of the date hereof, we have been advised that Digital Offering has retained RF Lafferty and AOS Inc. dba MyIPO to participate in this Offering as soliciting dealers. We will not be responsible for paying any placement agency fees, commissions or expense reimbursements to any soliciting dealers retained by Digital Offering. None of the soliciting dealers is purchasing any of the Shares in this Offering or is required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of Shares but will instead arrange for the sale of Shares to investors on a “best efforts” basis, meaning that they need only use their best efforts to sell the Shares. In addition to the engagement agreement, we plan to enter into a definitive selling agency agreement with Digital Offering prior to the commencement of the offering.

The $25,000 payment for legal fees already made will be reimbursed to us to the extent not actually incurred, in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(4)(a).

 

Reimbursable Expenses in the Event of Termination

 

In the event the Offering does not close, or the selling agency agreement is terminated for any reason, we have agreed to reimburse Digital Offering for its legal fees not to exceed $100,000.

 

Other Expenses of the Offering

 

In addition, the Company has engaged Equifund to create and maintain the online subscription processing platform for the Offering. After the Company’s Post-Qualification Offering Statement is qualified by the Commission, the Offering will be conducted, in part, using Equifunds online subscription processing platform through the Company’s website at https://invest.equifund.com/offering/modernmining/details, whereby investors will receive, review, execute and deliver subscription agreements electronically as well as make purchase price payments through a third-party processor by ACH debit transfer, wire transfer or credit card to an account we designate.

 

The Company has paid Equifund a $45,000 onboarding fee and will pay Equifund (i) an estimated $666,667 in investor fees of $50 per investor payable by the Company to Equifund (assuming 13,333 investors in this Offering).

 

In addition, the Company intends to pay these fees and will reimburse Equifund for transaction fees and return fees that it incurs for returns and chargebacks in the amounts of credit card processing fees (3.8% per swipe) plus any charge back fees or expenses and 1.25% for each ACH transfer fee and 1.25% for Express wires to all purchasers in lieu of charges to investors.

 

Please be advised that different payment methods take different amounts of time to clear.

 

  Wires: 24 hours (one business day) following receipt of funds;

 

  ACH: 10 days following receipt of funds; and

 

  Credit and Debit Cards: 24 hours (one business day) following receipt of funds.

 

104

 

 

The Company maintains the right to accept or reject subscriptions in whole or in part, for any reason or for no reason, including, but not limited to, in the event that an investor fails to provide all necessary information, even after further requests, in the event an investor fails to provide requested follow up information to complete potential background checks or fails background checks, and in the event the Offering is oversubscribed in excess of the Maximum Offering amount. If a subscription is rejected, funds will not be accepted by wire transfer or ACH, and payments made by debit card or check will be returned to subscribers within 30 days of such rejection without deduction or interest.

 

Selling Agents’ and RCC’s Commission

 

We have agreed that the definitive selling agency agreement will provide for us to pay a cash commission of 7.0% of the gross proceeds received by us in the Offering in jurisdictions other than Canada, which shall be allocated by Digital Offering to members of the selling group and soliciting dealers in its sole discretion (we sometimes refer to Digital Offering and such members and dealers collectively as the “Selling Agents”). In addition, Digital Offering has agreed to remit .50% of the gross proceeds of the Offering received by the Company from Digital Offering’s cash commission to the Company as a rebate to be applied towards the Company’s platform and marketing fees. Also, we have agreed that the agency agreement with RCC will provide for us to pay a cash commission of 7.0% of the gross proceeds received by us in the Offering from Canada.

 

The following table shows the total commissions payable to Digital Offering on a per-share basis in connection with this Offering, assuming a fully subscribed offering.

 

    Per Share  
Public offering price   $ 4.25  
Digital Offering commission (7.0%)*   $ 0.2975  
Proceeds, before expenses, to us, per share   $ 3.9525  

 

*Assuming a fully subscribed Offering after qualification of the Post Qualification Amendment and that all sales are in the United States, Digital Offering would receive total cash commissions of $2,799,999.79. Digital Offering has agreed to remit $199,999.99 of this cash commission to the Company as a rebate to be applied towards the Company’s platform and marketing fees.

 

Selling Agent’s Warrants

 

Upon the closing of the Offering, we have agreed to issue the Agent Warrants to the Lead Selling Agent for Shares sold in the United States and issue Agent Warrants to RCC for Shares sold in the Provinces in Canada, whereby the Agent Warrants will entitle the holder thereof to purchase such number of Shares equal to 2.5% of the total number of Shares sold in the United States for the Lead Selling Agent and sold in the Provinces in Canada for RCC. The Agent Warrants will be immediately exercisable upon issuance and will be exercisable until the fifth anniversary of the date of commencement of sales in the offering (in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1)). The exercise price for the Agent Warrants will be the amount that is 25% greater than the public offering price, or $5.3125 per share. The Agent Warrants will not be redeemable. The Agent Warrants will provide for cashless exercise in the event there is not a qualified offering statement covering the shares underlying the Agent Warrants, and immediate “piggyback” registration rights, with a duration of seven years from the date of commencement of sales in the offering (in compliance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(D)), with respect to the registration of the Shares underlying the warrants. We have qualified the Shares underlying the Agent Warrants in this Offering. Under certain circumstances, we may enter into an agreement with the Selling Agents to provide the Selling Agents with a demand registration right. Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(B)-(D), under any such agreement, the Selling Agents shall not be entitled to more than one demand registration right and the duration of this registration right shall not exceed five years from the effective date of the related registration statement.

 

105

 

 

The Agent Warrants and the Shares underlying the Agent Warrants have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to Rule 5110(e)(1) of FINRA. The Selling Agents or permitted assignees under such rule, may not exercise, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or hypothecate the Agent Warrants or the Shares underlying the Agent Warrants, nor will the Selling Agents or permitted assignees engage in any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the Agent Warrants or the underlying Shares for a period of 180 days from the date of closing of the Offering, except that they may be transferred, in whole or in part, by operation of law or by reason of our reorganization, or to any Selling Agent or selected dealer participating in the Offering and their officers, partners or registered representatives if the Agent Warrants or the underlying Shares so transferred remain subject to the foregoing lock-up restrictions for the remainder of the time period. The Agent Warrants will provide for adjustment in the number and price of such warrants (and the Shares underlying such Agent Warrant) to prevent dilution in the event of a stock dividend, stock split or other reclassification of the Shares.

Certain of the holders of our Shares, with Kuljit Basi acting as their representative, have entered into a pooling agreement with the Company, dated May 11, 2026, and the holders of the Investor Rights Warrants and the Convertible Debentures, with Kuljit Basi acting as their representative, have entered into pooling agreements with the Company dated September 11, 2025, as amended and restated on May 11, 2026 (collectively, the “Pooling Agreements”).

Exchange Listing

 

We have applied to NYSE American to list our Shares under the symbol “MDRN” on NYSE American. Neither we nor Digital Offering, however, can guarantee that NYSE American will approve our listing application. If the Shares are not approved for listing on NYSE American, we will not complete the Offering contemplated hereby. As a result, we will not close this Offering until we can establish that the offering meets the Minimum Listing Standards. Assuming our NYSE American listing application is approved, our Shares will not commence trading on NYSE American until each of the following conditions is met: we have filed a post-qualification amendment to the Offering Statement, which post-qualification amendment is qualified by the Commission; and we have filed a registration statement on Form 8-A, which Form 8-A has become effective. Pursuant to applicable rules under Regulation A, the Form 8-A will not become effective until the later of the filing of the Form 8-A with the Commission, the qualification of the post-qualification amendment to the Offering Statement, or the receipt by the Commission of certification from the national securities exchange listed on the Form 8-A. We intend to file the post-qualification amendment and request its qualification immediately prior to the closing of this Offering in order that the Form 8-A may become effective as soon as practicable. Exchange trading of our Shares on NYSE American will not commence until after the Offering has closed. No assurance can be given that our application to list on NYSE American will be approved or that an active trading market for our Shares will develop.

Pricing of the Offering

 

Prior to the Offering, there has been no public market for the Shares. The initial public offering price has been determined by negotiation between us and Digital Offering. The principal factors considered in determining the initial public offering price include:

 

  the information set forth in this Offering Circular and otherwise available to Digital Offering;

 

  our history and prospects and the history of and prospects for the industry in which we compete;

 

  our past and present financial performance;

 

  our prospects for future earnings and the present state of our development;

 

  the general condition of the securities markets at the time of this offering;

 

  the recent market prices of, and demand for, publicly traded common stock of generally comparable companies; and

 

  other factors deemed relevant by Digital Offering and us.

 

Indemnification

 

We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Agent, its affiliates and controlling persons and members of the selling group against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. If we are unable to provide this indemnification, we will contribute to the payments the Selling Agent, its affiliates and controlling persons as may be required to make in respect of these liabilities.

 

Our Relationship with the Lead Selling Agent

 

The Selling Agent and its affiliates are engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. The Selling Agent and its affiliates may in the future perform various financial advisory and investment banking services for us, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses.

 

In the ordinary course of their various business activities, Digital Offering and its affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of the Company. Digital Offering and its affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

Investment Limitations if We Do Not Obtain a Listing on a National Securities Exchange

 

As set forth in Title IV of the JOBS Act, there would be no limit on how many shares an investor may purchase if this Offering results in a listing of our Shares on NYSE American or other national securities exchange.

Other Procedures for Subscribing

 

Syndicate members clear through various clearing firms as do other broker-dealers who may participate in this Offering. We refer to such other broker-dealers that clear through their respective clearing firms and who may participate in this Offering as Other Broker-Dealers. Other Broker-Dealers with clearing agreements shall provide the Selling Agents with executed subscription agreements and delivery sheets from their customers and shall settle the transaction with the Selling Agents through DTC at closing. In the event that the Company does not qualify or list on NYSE American, soliciting dealers who are unable to participate in an over-the-counter security may withdraw their subscriptions prior to closing.

 

Prospective investors investing through Other Broker-Dealers will acquire Shares through book-entry order by opening an account with an Other Broker-Dealer, or by utilizing an existing account with an Other Broker-Dealer. In each such case, the account will be an account owned by the investor and held at the clearing firm of such Other Broker-Dealer, as the clearing firm for the exclusive benefit of such investor. The investor will also be required to complete and submit a subscription agreement. Subscriptions for Shares acquired through an account at an Other Broker-Dealer can be provided directly by the Broker-Dealers. Subscriptions will be effective only upon our acceptance, and we reserve the right to reject any subscription in whole or in part.

Our transfer agent will record and maintain records of the Shares issued of record by us, including shares issued of record to the Depositary Trust Corporation, which we refer to as the DTC, or its nominee, Cede & Co., for the benefit of broker-dealers, including the clearing firms. The clearing firm, as the clearing firm, will maintain the individual shareholder beneficial records for accounts at Other Broker-Dealers. All other investors that participate through the Enterprise Bank & Trust Escrow Account shall have their shares held at Equity Stock Transfer, LLC in digital book entry. Such shares may be transferred to the investor’s outside brokerage account by requesting their outside broker dealer to effect such transfer.

During such period, we have the right to review and accept or reject your subscription in whole or in part, for any reason or no reason. The Lead Selling Agent will conduct customary know-your-customer and AML checks on investors, including background checks for financial crimes and fraud. We anticipate rejecting subscriptions if (i) such subscriptions are received after we have already received and accepted subscription agreements for the maximum offering amount or (ii) the know-your-customer and AML checks raise concerns regarding investor suitability for participation in the offering. While we will endeavor to close this Offering as soon as feasible following the qualification by the SEC of the offering statement of which this offering circular forms a part, there may be a significant amount of time between your execution of the subscription agreement and tendering of funds and closing of this Offering. During such time, you will be entitled to revoke your subscription as disclosed above under “-Right to Revoke Subscriptions.” We will return all monies from rejected subscriptions immediately to you, without interest or deduction.

Under Rule 251 of Regulation A, unless a company’s offered securities are listed on a national securities exchange, non-accredited, non-natural person investors are subject to the investment limitation and may only invest funds which do not exceed 10% of the greater of the purchaser’s revenue or net assets (as of the purchaser’s most recent fiscal year end). As a result, for so long as our Shares are not listed on NYSE American, non-accredited, natural person may only invest funds in our Shares which do not exceed 10% of the greater of the purchaser’s annual income or net worth (please see below on how to calculate your net worth).

 

How to Calculate Net Worth

 

For the purposes of calculating your net worth, it is defined as the difference between total assets and total liabilities. This calculation must exclude the value of your primary residence and may exclude any indebtedness secured by your primary residence (up to an amount equal to the value of your primary residence). In the case of fiduciary accounts, net worth and/or income suitability requirements may be satisfied by the beneficiary of the account or by the fiduciary, if the fiduciary directly or indirectly provides funds for the purchase of the Shares.

 

In order to purchase the Shares and prior to the acceptance of any funds from an investor, for so long as our Shares are not listed on NYSE American, an investor in our Shares will be required to represent, to the Company’s satisfaction, that he or she is either an accredited investor or is in compliance with the 10% of net worth or annual income limitation on investment in this offering.

 

No Selling Security Holders

 

No securities are being sold for the account of security holders; all net proceeds of this Offering will go to the Company.

 

Transfer Agent and Registrar

 

The Company has engaged Equity Stock Transfer, LLC, a registered transfer agent with the SEC, who will serve as transfer agent to maintain shareholder information on a book-entry basis.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

 

Prior to this Offering, there has been no market for our Shares. Future sales of substantial amounts of our Shares in the public market or the perception that such sales might occur could adversely affect market prices prevailing from time to time. Furthermore, because only a limited number of Shares will be available for sale shortly after this Offering due to existing contractual and legal restrictions on resale as described below, there may be sales of substantial amounts of our Shares in the public market after the restrictions lapse. This may adversely affect the prevailing market price of our Shares and our ability to raise equity capital in the future.

 

After completion of this Offering, we will have 14,493,964 Shares issued and outstanding (excluding shares issuable pursuant to the conversion of Debentures (1,631,762 shares), SAFE Notes (910,418 shares) and Investor Rights Warrants (18,440,822 shares) as described elsewhere in this Offering Circular).

 

All of the Shares sold in this Offering will be freely tradable without restrictions or further registration under the Securities Act, unless the shares are purchased by our “affiliates” as that term is defined in Rule 144 and except certain shares that will be subject to an applicable lock-up period. Any shares owned by our affiliates may not be resold except in compliance with Rule 144 volume limitations, manner of sale and notice requirements, pursuant to another applicable exemption from registration or pursuant to an effective registration statement.

 

Rule 144

 

Affiliate Resales of Restricted Securities

 

Affiliates of ours must generally comply with Rule 144 if they wish to sell any of our Shares in the public market, whether or not those shares are “restricted securities.” “Restricted securities” are any securities acquired from us or one of our affiliates in a transaction not involving a public offering. The Shares sold in this Offering are not considered to be restricted securities.

 

Non-Affiliate Resales of Restricted Securities

 

Any person or entity who is not an affiliate of ours and who has not been an affiliate of ours at any time during the three months preceding a sale is only required to comply with Rule 144 in connection with sales of restricted shares. Subject to the lock-up agreements described above, those persons may sell our Shares that they have beneficially owned for at least one year without any restrictions under Rule 144 immediately following the effective date of the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is a part.

 

115

 

 

Further, beginning 90 days after the effective date of the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is a part, a person who is not an affiliate of ours at the time such person sells our Shares, and has not been an affiliate of ours at any time during the three months preceding such sale, and who has beneficially owned such our Shares, as applicable, for at least six months but less than a year, is entitled to sell such shares so long as there is adequate current public information, as defined in Rule 144, available about us.

 

Resales of restricted Shares by non-affiliates are not subject to the manner of sale, volume limitation or notice filing provisions of Rule 144, described above.

 

Rule 701

 

Rule 701 generally allows a shareholder who purchased our Shares pursuant to a written compensatory plan or contract and who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of ours during the immediately preceding 90 days to sell such shares in reliance upon Rule 144, but without being required to comply with the public information, holding period, volume limitation, or notice provisions of Rule 144.

 

Rule 701 also permits affiliates of ours to sell their Rule 701 shares under Rule 144 without complying with the holding period requirements of Rule 144. All holders of Rule 701 shares, however, are required to wait until 90 days after the date of this Offering Circular before selling such shares pursuant to Rule 701 and until expiration of any applicable lock-up period.

 

Equity Incentive Awards

 

We intend to file a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act after the closing of this Offering to register the Shares that are issuable pursuant to our Plan. The registration statement is expected to be filed and become effective as soon as practicable after the completion of this Offering. Accordingly, shares registered under the registration statement will be available for sale in the open market following its effective date, subject to Rule 144 volume limitations and any applicable lock-up arrangements.

MATERIAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS

 

The following description is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of all tax consequences relating to the ownership or disposition of our Shares, including the Shares. You should consult your own tax advisor concerning the tax consequences of your particular situation, as well as any tax consequences that may arise under the laws of any local, state, foreign (including Canada), or other taxing jurisdiction.

 

Taxation in Canada

 

Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations

 

The following summary describes the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the regulations thereunder (the “Tax Act”) generally applicable as at the date hereof to the acquisition, holding and disposition of the Shares by a holder who acquires, as beneficial owner, the Shares pursuant to the Offering and who, for purposes of the Tax Act and at all relevant times, holds the Shares as capital property, deals at arm’s length with the Company and each underwriter and is not affiliated with the Company or any underwriter (a “Holder”). Generally, the Shares will be considered to be capital property to a Holder provided the Holder does not acquire or hold the Shares in the course of carrying on a business of trading or dealing in securities and has not acquired them in one or more transactions considered to be an adventure or concern in the nature of trade.

 

This summary does not apply to a Holder (i) that is a “financial institution” for the purposes of the mark-to-market rules contained in the Tax Act; (ii) that is a “specified financial institution” as defined in the Tax Act; (iii) an interest in which would be, or for whom a Share would be, a “tax shelter investment” as defined in the Tax Act; (iv) that has made a functional currency reporting election under the Tax Act to report its “Canadian tax results” (as defined in the Tax Act) in a currency other than the Canadian currency; (v) that has or will enter into a “derivative forward agreement”, a “synthetic disposition arrangement” or a “dividend rental arrangement”, each as defined in the Tax Act, with respect to the Shares; or (vi) that carries on, or is deemed to carry on, an insurance business in Canada or elsewhere. Such Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to an investment in the Shares.

 

Additional considerations, not discussed herein, may be applicable to a Holder that is a corporation resident in Canada and that is or becomes, or does not deal at arm’s length for purposes of the Tax Act with a corporation resident in Canada that is or becomes, as part of a transaction or event or series of transactions or events that includes the acquisition of the Shares, controlled by a non-resident person or group of non-resident persons not dealing with each other at arm’s length for purposes of the “foreign affiliate dumping” rules in section 212.3 of the Tax Act. Such Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the possible application of these rules.

 

In addition, this summary does not address the deductibility of interest by a Holder who has borrowed money or otherwise incurred debt in connection with the acquisition of the Shares.

 

This summary is based upon the provisions of the Tax Act in force as of the date hereof, all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act that have been publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the “Proposed Amendments”) and counsel’s understanding of the current administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency (“CRA”) made publicly available prior to the date hereof. This summary assumes the Proposed Amendments will be enacted in the form proposed; however, no assurance can be given that the Proposed Amendments will be enacted in the form proposed, if at all. This summary is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax considerations and, except for the Proposed Amendments, does not take into account or anticipate any changes in law or the administrative policies or assessing practices of the CRA, whether by legislative, governmental or judicial action or decision, nor does it take into account provincial, territorial or foreign tax considerations, which may differ significantly from those discussed herein.

 

117

 

 

Subject to certain exceptions that are not discussed in this summary, for the purposes of the Tax Act, all amounts relating to the acquisition, holding or disposition of Shares, including dividends, must be determined in Canadian dollars using the relevant exchange rate determined in accordance with the Tax Act.

 

This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular holder or prospective holder of the Shares, and no representations with respect to the income tax consequences to any holder or prospective holder are made. Consequently, holders and prospective holders of the Shares should consult their own tax advisors for advice with respect to the tax consequences to them of acquiring the Shares, having regard to their particular circumstances.

 

Holders Resident in Canada

 

This portion of the summary applies to a Holder who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable income tax treaty or convention, is or is deemed to be resident in Canada (a “Resident Holder”).

 

Certain Resident Holders who might not otherwise be considered to hold their Shares as capital property may, in certain circumstances, be entitled to have the Shares, and all other “Canadian securities” (as defined in the Tax Act) owned by such Resident Holders in the taxation year of the election and any subsequent taxation year, treated as capital property by making the irrevocable election permitted by subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act. Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability or advisability of this election.

 

Dividends on the Shares

 

Dividends received or deemed to be received on the Shares by a Resident Holder who is an individual (other than certain trusts) will generally be included in the individual’s income and will be subject to the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules applicable to taxable dividends received from taxable Canadian corporations, including the enhanced dividend tax credit rules applicable to any dividends designated by the Company as “eligible dividends” in accordance with the Tax Act. There may be limitations on the ability of the Company to designate dividends as “eligible dividends.”

 

In the case of a Resident Holder that is a corporation, the amount of any such taxable dividend that is included in its income for a taxation year will generally also be deductible in computing its taxable income for that taxation year. In certain circumstances, a dividend received or deemed to be received by a Resident Holder that is a corporation may be deemed to be proceeds of disposition or a capital gain pursuant to subsection 55(2) of the Tax Act. Resident Holders that are corporations should consult their own tax advisors having regard to their own particular circumstances.

 

A Resident Holder that is a “private corporation” or a “subject corporation”, each as defined in the Tax Act, may be liable under Part IV of the Tax Act to pay an additional tax (refundable in certain circumstances) on dividends received or deemed to be received on the Shares to the extent such dividends are deductible in computing its taxable income for the taxation year.

 

118

 

 

Dispositions of Shares

 

Upon a disposition (or a deemed disposition) of a Share, a Resident Holder generally will realize a capital gain (or a capital loss) equal to the amount, if any, by which the proceeds of disposition of such Share, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, are greater (or are less) than the adjusted cost base of such Share to the Resident Holder.

 

The adjusted cost base to a Resident Holder of Shares acquired hereunder will be determined by averaging the cost of such Shares to the Resident Holder with the adjusted cost base of any other Shares held by the Resident Holder as capital property immediately before the acquisition.

 

Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses

 

Generally, one-half of any capital gain (a “taxable capital gain”) realized by a Resident Holder in a taxation year must be included in the Resident Holder’s income for the year. Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Act, one-half of any capital loss (an “allowable capital loss”) realized by a Resident Holder in a taxation year must be deducted from taxable capital gains realized by the Resident Holder in that year. Allowable capital losses in excess of taxable capital gains realized in a taxation year generally may be carried back and deducted in any of the three preceding taxation years or carried forward and deducted in any subsequent taxation year against net taxable capital gains realized in such years, to the extent and under the circumstances described in the Tax Act.

 

The amount of any capital loss realized by a Resident Holder that is a corporation on the disposition of a Share may be reduced by the amount of any dividends received or deemed to be received by it on such Share, to the extent and under the circumstances described in the Tax Act. Similar rules may apply where a Share is owned by a partnership or trust of which a corporation, trust or partnership is a member or beneficiary. Resident Holders to whom these rules may be relevant should consult their own tax advisors.

 

Aggregate Investment Income

 

A Resident Holder that is a “Canadian-controlled private corporation” (as defined in the Tax Act) throughout the relevant taxation year, or a “substantive CCPC” (as defined in the Tax Act) at any time in the relevant year, may be liable to pay a refundable tax on its “aggregate investment income”, which is defined in the Tax Act to include an amount in respect of taxable capital gains and dividends or deemed dividends that are not deductible in computing such corporation’s income. Resident Holders to whom these rules may be relevant should consult their tax advisors regarding their particular circumstances.

 

Alternative Minimum Tax

 

Capital gains realized and dividends received or deemed to be received by an individual (including certain trusts) may give rise to liability for alternative minimum tax as calculated under the detailed rules set out in the Tax Act. Resident Holders who are individuals should consult their own tax advisors in this regard.

 

119

 

 

Holders Not Resident in Canada

 

This portion of the summary applies to a Holder who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable income tax treaty or convention (i) is neither resident nor deemed to be resident in Canada, and (ii) does not, and is not deemed to, use or hold the Shares in a business carried on in Canada (a “Non-Resident Holder”). In addition, this portion of the summary does not apply to an insurer who carries on an insurance business or an “authorized foreign bank” (as defined in the Tax Act) and such Non-Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors.

 

Dividends on the Shares

 

Any dividends paid or credited, or deemed to be paid or credited, on the Shares, as the case may be, to a Non-Resident Holder will generally be subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25% of the gross amount of the dividend, subject to any reduction in the rate of withholding to which that Non-Resident Holder may be entitled under an applicable income tax treaty or convention. For instance, where the Non-Resident Holder is a resident of the United States that is entitled to applicable benefits under the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (1980), as amended, and is the beneficial owner of the dividends, the rate of Canadian withholding tax applicable to dividends is generally reduced to 15%. The rate of withholding tax is generally further reduced to 5% if the beneficial owner of such dividend is a company that owns, directly or indirectly, at least 10% of the voting shares of the Company. Non-Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors to determine their entitlement to relief under an applicable income tax treaty or convention.

 

Disposition of the Shares

 

A Non-Resident Holder will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of any capital gain realized by such Non-Resident Holder on a disposition of a Share unless such share constitutes “taxable Canadian property” (as defined in the Tax Act) of the Non-Resident Holder at the time of disposition and the Non-Resident Holder is not entitled to relief under an applicable income tax treaty or convention.

 

Generally, the Shares will not constitute “taxable Canadian property” of a Non-Resident Holder at any particular time provided that the Shares are then listed on a “designated stock exchange” for the purposes of the Tax Act (which currently includes NYSE American), unless at any time during the 60-month period immediately preceding such time the following 2 conditions are satisfied concurrently: (i) at least 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of the capital shares of the Company were owned by or belonged to any combination of (x) the Non-Resident Holder, (y) persons with whom the Non-Resident Holder did not deal at arm’s length (for the purposes of the Tax Act), and (z) partnerships in which the Non-Resident Holder or a person described in (y) holds a membership interest directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships; and (ii) more than 50% of the fair market value of such shares was derived directly or indirectly from one, or any combination of, real or immovable property situated in Canada, Canadian resource property (as defined in the Tax Act), timber resource property (as defined in the Tax Act) or options in respect of, interests in or for civil law rights in, any such property (whether or not such property exists). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Shares may also be deemed to be “taxable Canadian property” in certain circumstances.

 

120

 

 

In cases where a Non-Resident Holder disposes (or is deemed to have disposed) of a Share that is “taxable Canadian property” to that Non-Resident Holder, and the Non-Resident Holder is not entitled to an exemption under an applicable income tax treaty or convention, the consequences described above under the headings “Holders Resident in Canada — Dispositions of Shares” and “Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses” will generally be applicable to such disposition. Non-Resident Holders for whom a Share is, or may be, “taxable Canadian property” should consult their own tax advisors.

 

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

 

The following discussion is a general summary of material U.S. federal income tax considerations with respect to the ownership and disposition of shares of our Shares. This summary is based on current U.S. federal income tax laws (including provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder and administrative rulings and court decisions, all in effect as of the date hereof), all of which are subject to change at any time, possibly with retroactive effect. Any such change or differing interpretation may be applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect owners of our Shares.

 

For purposes of this discussion, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of one or more of our Shares that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes one of the following:

 

  an individual citizen or resident of the United States, including individuals treated as residents of the United States solely for tax purposes;

 

  a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof;

 

  an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source, or;

 

  a trust if (1) a court within the United States can exercise primary supervision over it, and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (2) the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.

 

This discussion applies only to a U.S. Holder that holds Shares as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). Unless otherwise provided, this summary does not discuss reporting requirements. This discussion is of a general nature only and does not take into account the particular facts and circumstances, with respect to U.S. federal income tax issues, of any particular U.S. Holder. In addition, this discussion does not address any tax consequences other than U.S. federal income tax consequences, such as U.S. state and local tax consequences, U.S. estate and gift tax consequences, and non-U.S. tax consequences, and does not describe all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant in light of a U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances, including alternative minimum tax consequences, and tax consequences to holders that are subject to special provisions under the Code, including, but not limited to, holders that:

 

  are tax exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts, or other tax deferred accounts;

 

121

 

 

  are financial institutions, underwriters, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, or regulated investment companies;

 

  are brokers or dealers in securities or currencies or holders that are traders in securities that elect to apply a mark-to-market accounting method;

 

  have a “functional currency” for U.S. federal income tax purposes that is not the U.S. dollar;

 

  own Shares as part of a straddle, hedging transaction, conversion transaction, constructive sale, or other arrangement involving more than one position;

 

  acquire Shares in connection with the exercise of employee share options or otherwise as compensation for services;

 

  are partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes (or investors in such partnerships and entities);

 

  are required to accelerate the recognition of any item of gross income with respect to the Shares as a result of such income being recognized on an applicable financial statement;

 

  are controlled foreign corporations;

 

  are passive foreign investment companies;

 

  hold the Shares in connection with trade or business conducted outside of the United States or in connection with a permanent establishment or other fixed place of business outside of the United States; or

 

  are former U.S. citizens or former long-term residents of the United States.

 

If an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds shares of our securities, the tax treatment of a person treated as a partner for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Persons that for U.S. federal income tax purposes are treated as a partner in a partnership holding shares of our securities should consult their tax advisors.

 

We have not sought, and do not expect to seek, a ruling from the United States Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), as to any United States federal income tax consequence described herein. The IRS may disagree with the discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulations, administrative rulings or court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.

 

122

 

 

PROSPECTIVE HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION OF THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR INDIVIDUAL SITUATIONS, AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF UNITS ARISING UNDER THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL ESTATE OR GIFT TAX RULES OR UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN OR OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE TAX TREATY.

 

U.S.  Tax Status of the Company

 

Although the Company is incorporated under Canadian law, as a result of the consummation of the Merger, the Company should be treated, pursuant to Section 7874 of the Code, as a U.S. corporation for all purposes under the Code. As a result, since the Company should be treated as a U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we do not intend to treat the Company as a “passive foreign investment company,” as such rules apply only to non-U.S. corporations that are treated as such for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Since the Company is a taxable corporation in Canada, it would likely be subject to income taxation in both the United States and Canada on the same income, which could reduce the amount of income available for distribution to shareholders. The ability of the Company to take foreign tax credits against its U.S. tax liability in respect of taxes paid in Canada may be limited.

 

The rules under Section 7874 are complex and require analysis of all relevant facts and circumstances, and there is limited guidance and significant uncertainties as to aspects of their application. If it were determined that we should be taxed as a foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 7874 of the Code, the U.S. federal income tax consequences described herein could be materially and adversely affected. For example, U.S. Holders could be subject to the rules applicable to passive foreign investment companies. Beneficial owners of our shares should consult their own tax advisors with respect the tax consequences if we were classified as a foreign corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

The remainder of this discussion assumes that the Company is treated as a U.S. corporation for all U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

U.S. Holders

 

Taxation of Distributions

 

If we pay distributions in cash or other property (other than certain distributions of our Share or rights to acquire our Share) to U.S. Holders of our Shares, such distributions generally will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our Shares. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the Shares and will be treated as described under “U.S. Holders — Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Our Shares” below.

 

Dividends we pay to a U.S. Holder that is a taxable corporation generally will qualify for the dividends received deduction if the requisite holding period is satisfied. With certain exceptions and provided certain holding period requirements are met, dividends we pay to a non-corporate U.S. Holder may constitute “qualified dividend income” that will be subject to tax at the applicable tax rate accorded to long-term capital gains. If the holding period requirements are not satisfied, then a corporation may not be able to qualify for the dividends received deduction and would have taxable income equal to the entire dividend amount, and non-corporate holders may be subject to tax on such dividend at regular ordinary income tax rates instead of the preferential rate that applies to qualified dividend income. If a U.S. Holder is subject to Canadian withholding tax on dividends paid on the holder’s securities to the U.S. Holder, the dividends will be considered U.S. source income, which could limit the ability of a U.S. Holder to claim a foreign tax credit for the Canadian withholding taxes imposed in respect of such a dividend. See “U.S. Holders — Foreign Tax Credit Limitations” below.

 

123

 

 

Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Our Shares

 

Subject to the discussion below under “U.S. Holders — Redemption of Our Shares,” upon a sale, taxable exchange or other taxable disposition of our Shares, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such Shares. Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Shares so disposed of exceeds one year. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders currently will be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

 

To the extent a U.S. Holder pays any Canadian tax on a sale, exchange or disposition of our Shares, a U.S. foreign tax credit may not be available. See “U.S. Holders — Foreign Tax Credit Limitations” below.

 

Foreign Tax Credit Limitations

 

Because the Company is subject to tax both as a U.S. domestic corporation and as a Canadian corporation, a U.S. Holder may pay, through withholding, Canadian tax, as well as U.S. federal income tax, with respect to dividends paid on its securities. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, a U.S. Holder may elect for any taxable year to receive either a credit or a deduction for all foreign income taxes paid by the holder during the year. Complex limitations apply to the foreign tax credit, including a general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of a taxpayer’s U.S. federal income tax that the taxpayer’s foreign source taxable income bears to the taxpayer’s worldwide taxable income. In applying this limitation, items of income and deduction must be classified, under complex rules, as either foreign source or U.S. source.

 

The status of the Company as a U.S. domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes will cause dividends paid by the Company to be treated as U.S. source rather than foreign source income for this purpose. As a result, a foreign tax credit may be unavailable for any Canadian tax paid on dividends received from the Company. Similarly, to the extent a sale or disposition securities by a U.S. Holder results in Canadian tax payable by the U.S. Holder (for example, because the Shares constitute taxable Canadian property within the meaning of the Tax Act), a U.S. foreign tax credit may be unavailable to the U.S. Holder for such Canadian tax. In each case, however, the U.S. Holder may be able to take a deduction for the U.S. Holder’s Canadian tax paid, provided that the U.S. Holder has not elected to credit other foreign taxes during the same taxable year. The foreign tax credit rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding these rules.

 

Foreign Currency

 

The amount of any distribution or proceeds paid in Canadian dollars to a U.S. Holder in connection with the ownership of the Shares, or on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of the Shares, generally will be equal to the U.S. dollar value of such Canadian dollars based on the exchange rate applicable on the date of receipt (regardless of whether such Canadian dollars are converted into U.S. dollars at that time). A U.S. Holder that receives Canadian dollars and converts such Canadian dollars into U.S. dollars at a conversion rate other than the rate in effect on the date of receipt may have a foreign currency exchange gain or loss, which generally would be treated as U.S. source ordinary income or loss for foreign tax credit purposes.

 

Different rules apply to U.S. Holders who use the accrual method. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own U.S. tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of receiving, owning, and disposing of Canadian dollars.

 

124

 

 

Additional Tax on Passive Income

 

Certain U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates, or trusts (other than trusts that are exempt from tax) will be subject to a 3.8% tax on all or a portion of their “net investment income,” which includes dividends on the Shares and net gains from the disposition of the Shares.

 

Treasury Regulations provide that, subject to the election described in the following paragraph, solely for purposes of this additional tax, distributions of previously taxed income will be treated as dividends and included in net investment income subject to the additional 3.8% tax.

 

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

 

In general, information reporting requirements may apply to dividends paid to a U.S. Holder and to the proceeds of the sale, taxable exchange or other taxable disposition of our Shares unless the U.S. Holder is an exempt recipient. Backup withholding may apply to such payments if the U.S. Holder fails to provide a taxpayer identification number, a certification of exempt status or has been notified by the IRS that it is subject to backup withholding (and such notification has not been withdrawn).

 

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

 

Non-U.S. Holders

 

This section applies to you if you are a “Non-U.S. Holder.” As used herein, the term “Non-U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of our Shares that is for United States federal income tax purposes not a U.S. Holder, as defined above.

 

The following summary does not address aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to a Non-U.S. Holder subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws, including, but not limited to, any of the following:

 

(i)dealers in securities;

 

(ii)banks and other financial institutions;

 

(iii)insurance companies;

 

(iv)tax-exempt organizations plans or accounts;

 

(v)persons holding their Shares as part of a ’‘hedge,’’ ’’straddle’’ or other risk reduction transaction; and

 

(vi)controlled foreign corporations or passive foreign investment companies, as those terms are defined in the Code.

 

Anysuch Non-U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor with respect to an investment in the Shares.

 

This summary also does not address the tax consequences resulting to a holder of the Shares that is an entity treated as a pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes or any investors or equity holders in such entities. The tax treatment of an investor in such an entity will generally depend upon the status of the investor and the activities of the partnership or other pass-through entity. We urge any Non-U.S. Holder of the Shares that is a partnership or other pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes and partners, investors, members and other equity holders in such entities to consult their tax advisors about the tax consequences relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of the Shares.

 

125

 

 

The following discussion is a general summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the Shares applicable to Non-U.S. Holder. This summary does not consider specific facts and circumstances that may be relevant to a particular Non-U.S. Holder’s tax position and does not consider U.S. state and local or non-U.S. tax consequences and also does not consider U.S. federal estate and gift tax considerations. Because the Shares and will be treated as shares of a U.S. domestic corporation, the U.S. gift, estate, generation-skipping transfer tax, and other relevant tax rules generally apply to Non-U.S. Holder of such shares. Each Non-U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding these rules.

 

Taxation of Distributions

 

If we pay distributions in cash or other property (other than certain distributions of our Shares or rights to acquire our Shares) to Non-U.S. Holders of our Shares, such distributions generally will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our Shares. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the Shares and will be treated as described under “Non-U.S. Holders — Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Our Shares.”

 

Subject to the discussions below on effectively connected income, dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder of our Shares will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30% of the gross amount of the dividends (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty, provided the Non-U.S. Holder furnishes a valid IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable documentation) certifying qualification for the lower treaty rate). A Non-U.S. Holder that does not timely furnish the required documentation, but that qualifies for a reduced treaty rate, may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS.

 

If dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the Non-U.S. Holder maintains a permanent establishment in the United States to which such dividends are attributable), the Non-U.S. Holder will be exempt from the U.S. federal withholding tax described above. To claim the exemption, the Non-U.S. Holder generally must furnish to the applicable withholding agent a valid IRS Form W-8ECI, certifying that the dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States.

 

Any such effectively connected dividends will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net basis at the regular graduated rates. A Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation also may be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on such effectively connected dividends, as adjusted for certain items.

 

Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding any applicable tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

 

126

 

 

Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Our Shares

 

Subject to the discussion below under “Non-U.S. Holders — Redemption of Our Shares,” a Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized upon the sale, taxable exchange or other taxable disposition of our Shares unless:

 

  the gain is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the Non-U.S. Holder maintains a permanent establishment in the United States to which such gain is attributable);

 

  the Non-U.S. Holder is a nonresident alien individual present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year of the disposition and certain other requirements are met; or

 

  our Shares constitute a U.S. real property interest (“USRPI”) by reason of our status as a U.S. real property holding corporation (“USRPHC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

Gain described in the first bullet point above generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular graduated rates. A Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation also may be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on such effectively connected gain, as adjusted for certain items.

 

Gain described in the second bullet point above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty), which may be offset by U.S. source capital losses of the Non-U.S. Holder, provided the Non-U.S. Holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses.

 

With respect to the third bullet point above, we believe we currently are not, and do not anticipate becoming, a USRPHC. Because the determination of whether we are a USRPHC depends, however, on the fair market value of our USRPIs relative to the fair market value of our non-U.S. real property interests and our other business assets, there can be no assurance we currently are not a USRPHC or will not become one in the future. Even if we are or were to become a USRPHC, gain arising from the sale or other taxable disposition by a Non-U.S. Holder of our Shares will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax if our Shares are “regularly traded,” as defined by applicable Treasury Regulations, on an established securities market, and such Non-U.S. Holder owned, actually and constructively, 5% or less of our Shares throughout the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the sale or other taxable disposition and the Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period.

 

Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding potentially applicable income tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

 

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

 

Payments of dividends on our Shares will not be subject to backup withholding, provided the applicable withholding agent does not have actual knowledge or reason to know the Non-U.S. Holder is a United States person and the Non-U.S. Holder either certifies its non-U.S. status, such as by furnishing a valid IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI, or otherwise establishes an exemption. However, information returns are required to be filed with the IRS in connection with any dividends on our Shares paid to the Non-U.S. Holder, regardless of whether any tax was actually withheld. In addition, proceeds of the sale, taxable exchange or other taxable disposition of our Shares within the United States or conducted through certain U.S.-related brokers generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting, if the applicable withholding agent receives the certification described above and does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such Non-U.S. Holder is a United States person, or the Non-U.S. Holder otherwise establishes an exemption. Proceeds of a disposition of our Shares conducted through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting.

 

127

 

 

Copies of information returns that are filed with the IRS may also be made available under the provisions of an applicable treaty or agreement to the tax authorities of the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides or is established.

 

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

 

All Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of information reporting and backup withholding to them.

 

FATCA Withholding Taxes

 

Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance promulgated thereunder (commonly referred to as the “Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act” or “FATCA”) generally impose withholding of 30% on payments of dividends (including constructive dividends) on our Shares to “foreign financial institutions” (which is broadly defined for this purpose and in general includes investment vehicles) and certain other non-U.S. entities unless various U.S. information reporting and due diligence requirements (generally relating to ownership by U.S. persons of interests in or accounts with those entities) have been satisfied by, or an exemption applies to, the payee (typically certified as to by the delivery of a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN-E). The IRS has issued proposed regulations (on which taxpayers may rely until final regulations are issued) that provide that these withholding requirements would generally not apply to gross proceeds from sales or other dispositions of our Shares. However, there can be no assurance that final Treasury regulations will provide the same exceptions from FATCA withholding as the proposed Treasury regulations. Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules. Under certain circumstances, a Non-U.S. Holder might be eligible for refunds or credits of such withholding taxes, and a Non-U.S. Holder might be required to file a U.S. federal income tax return to claim such refunds or credits. Similarly, dividends in respect of our Shares held by an investor that is a non-financial non-U.S. entity that does not qualify under certain exceptions will generally be subject to withholding at a rate of 30%, unless such entity either (1) certifies to us or the applicable withholding agent that such entity does not have any “substantial United States owners” or (2) provides certain information regarding the entity’s “substantial United States owners,” which will in turn be provided to the U.S. Department of Treasury. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the effects of FATCA on their investment in our Shares.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

 

We are a corporation organized under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. Most of our directors and executive officers reside in Canada, and significantly all of our assets and the assets of such persons are located outside of the United States. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon these persons or us, or to enforce against them or us judgments obtained in U.S. courts, whether or not predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or of the securities laws of any state of the United States. There is doubt as to the enforceability in Canada, either in original actions or in actions for enforcement of judgments of U.S. courts, of civil liabilities predicated solely on the federal securities laws of the United States or the securities laws of any state of the United States.

 

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES LIABILITIES

 

The Company’s Articles, subject to the provisions of British Columbia law, contain provisions which allow the corporation to indemnify its officers and directors against liabilities and other expenses incurred as the result of defending or administering any pending or anticipated legal issue in connection with service to the Company if it is determined that person acted in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed was in the best interest of the Company. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, may be unenforceable.

 

LEGAL MATTERS

 

We are being represented by McMillan LLP with respect to certain legal matters as to United States federal securities law. The validity of the Shares offered in this Offering and certain legal matters as to Canadian law will be passed upon for us by McMillan LLP, of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

 

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

 

MNP LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has audited our consolidated financial statements as of, and for the years ended, December 31, 2025 and 2024, as set forth in their report thereon. We have included such consolidated financial statements in this Offering Circular in reliance on the report of such firm given on their authority as experts in accounting and auditing. MNP is independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the PCAOB on auditor independence. MNP’s offices are located at 1 Adelaide Street East, Suite 1900, Toronto, ON, M5C 2V9.

To the Shareholders of Modern Mining Technology Corp.:

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, including responsibility for significant accounting judgments and estimates in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. This responsibility includes selecting appropriate accounting principles and methods, and making decisions affecting the measurement of transactions in which objective judgment is required.

The Board is responsible for overseeing management in the performance of its financial reporting responsibilities, and for approving the financial information included in the annual report. The Board fulfils these responsibilities by reviewing the financial information prepared by management and discussing relevant matters with management and the external auditors.

The Audit Committee is also responsible for recommending the appointment of Modern Mining Technology Corp.’s external auditors.

 

We draw attention to Note 1 in the Unaudited Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements which indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

1)Nature of operations and going concern

 

Modern Mining Technology Corp. (the “Company” or “MMTC”) was incorporated under British Columbia Business Corporations Act on 26 January 2021. The Company’s registered office is held at 1500 – 1055 West Georgia Street, Royal Centre, PO Box 11, Vancouver, BC V6E 4N7, Canada.

 

On 19 August 2021, the Company and Urban Mining International, Inc. (“UMI”) entered into a merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”), providing for the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding common shares of UMI by the Company. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, UMI and Urban Mining Merger Sub, Inc. (a subsidiary of UMI, created for the transaction) amalgamated and continued under the name of UMI. As a result of the Merger Transaction, UMI became a wholly owned subsidiary of MMTC on 1 September 2021. Subsequently, UMI changed its name to Modern Mining Technology Corp. as of 8 December 2021.

 

UMI was incorporated in the State of Delaware, USA on 8 August 2017 for the purpose of refining precious metals from electronic waste. UMI’s principal operating facility is located in Greenville, NC.

 

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements (the “Financial Statements”) have been prepared on the basis of the accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes the Company will be able to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. There are several adverse conditions such as the Company has not generated revenue to date and has a net working capital deficiency that cast substantial doubt upon the soundness of this assumption. These Financial Statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations.

 

Management believes that the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital. There cannot be any assurance that the Company will achieve profitable operations. Furthermore, no assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on the Company’s operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for the existing shareholders, in case of equity financing. These factors represent material uncertainties that cast substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

 

These Financial Statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and thus be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in these Financial Statements. Any such adjustments could be material.

2)Basis of presentation – Statement of Compliance

 

These Financial Statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”), specifically International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”). The term “IFRS” is used throughout these Financial Statements to refer collectively to all standards issued by the IASB, including those originally issued as International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) and those issued as International Financial Reporting Standards. The Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit and loss, which are stated at their fair value.

 

3)Material accounting policy information

 

The accounting policies and methods of computation followed in preparing these Financial Statements are the same as those followed in preparing the most recent audited annual consolidated financial statements. For a complete summary of significant accounting policies, please refer to the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.

 

The Financial Statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, these Financial Statements should be read together with the annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2025.

 

4)Significant accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty

 

The preparation of the Company’s Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the Financial Statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from these estimates.

 

Management must make significant judgments or assessments as to how financial assets and liabilities are categorized. The following are the critical judgments and areas involving estimates that management have made in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amount recognized in the Financial Statements.

 

a)Significant accounting estimates:

 

Significant assumptions about the future that management has made and about other sources of estimation uncertainty at the financial position reporting date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities relate to but are not limited to the following:

 

Fair value measurement of warrants

 

Certain of the Company’s warrants are re-measured at fair value at the end of every reporting period given they are settled on a cashless basis, which is an area of significant judgement given the Company is not publicly traded. Key assumptions include the share price, probability of an initial public offering and timing of an initial public offering.

 

b)Significant accounting judgments:

 

Significant judgments about the future that management has made and about other sources of judgment uncertainty at the financial position reporting date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities relate to but are not limited to:

 

Functional currency: The determination of the functional currency of the Company as the Canadian dollar and it’s subsidiary as the US$.

 

Going concern: The Company’s ability to execute its strategy by funding future working capital requirements requires judgment. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, such as expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

5)New standards, amendments and interpretations not yet adopted

 

The following amendments to standards and interpretations became effective for the annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026. The application of these amendments and interpretations had no significant impact on the Company’s interim consolidated financial position or results of operations. The IASB and the IFRIC have issued the following new and revised standards and interpretations that are not yet effective for the relevant reporting periods and the Company has not early adopted these standards, amendments and interpretations. However, the Company is currently assessing what impact the application of these standards or amendments will have on the interim consolidated financial statements of the Company. The Company intends to adopt these standards, if applicable, when the standards become effective:

 

-Effective 1 January 2027, the Company will adopt IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements. The new standards replace IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, and for all entities will

 

Introduce a new defined structure for the statement of profit and loss and require the classification of income and expenses in that statement into one of five categories: operating; investing; financing; income taxes; and discontinued operations. IFRS 18 introduces definitions of these categories for purposes of the statement of profit and loss. Specific categorization requirements will apply to entities whose ‘main business activity’ is to provide financing to customers or to invest in specified assets. Entities will also be required to present new subtotals for ‘operating profit or loss’ and ‘profit or loss before financing and income taxes;

 

Require disclosure of ‘management-defined performance measures’ (MPMs) in a single note to the financial statements. MPMs are subtotals of income and expenses that an entity uses in public communications outside of its financial statements, to communicate management’s view of an aspect of the financial performance of the entity as a whole to users. Entities must disclose a reconciliation between the measure and the most directly comparable total or subtotal specifically required to be disclosed by IFRS Accounting Standards or subtotal listed in IFRS 18;

 

Enhance guidance about how to group information within the financial statements; and

 

For the statement of cash flows, require that ‘operating profit or loss’ be used as the starting point for determining cash flows from operating activities under the indirect method, and remove the optionality around classification of cash flows from interests and dividends.

 

IFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, including for interim financial statements. Earlier application is permitted. The new standards is to be applied retrospectively, and, in the period of adoption, a reconciliation is required between how the statement of profit or loss was presented in the comparative period under IAS 1 and how it is presented in the current period under IFRS 18.

 

6)Financial instruments and risk management

 

In common with all other businesses, the Company is exposed to risk that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the method used to measure them. Further quantitative information in respect to these risks is presented throughout the Financial Statements.

 

Risk management is carried out by the Company’s management team under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors also provided regular guidance for overall risk management.

 

a)Financial instrument classification and measurement

 

Financial instruments of the Company are carried at amortized cost, with the exception of warrant liability and simple agreement for future equity, classified and held at fair value through profit or loss.

6)Financial instruments and risk management (continued)

 

The Company classifies the fair value of these transactions according to the following hierarchy:

 

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments.

 

Level 2 - quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

 

Level 3 - valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

The Company’s warrant liability is classified at level 3 with a fair value of $57,716,399 as of 31 March 2026 (31 December 2025 - $36,183,565). See note 12.

 

The Company’s simple agreements for future equity liability are classified at level 3 with a fair value of $2,901,956 as of 31 March 2026 (31 December 2025 - $85,000). See note 13.

 

b)Market risk

 

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices will affect the Company’s earnings or the value of its financial instruments. Market risk is comprised of other price risk, currency risk, and interest rate risk. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control exposures within acceptable limits, while maximizing returns. These market risks are evaluated by monitoring changes in key economic indicators and market information on an on-going basis, adjusting operations and budgets accordingly. The Company is not subject to market risk.

 

c)Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company’s primary exposure to credit risk is on its cash. The Company’s cash are held with major banks in Canada and the United States. Accordingly, the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk.

 

d)Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or manage its obligations associated with financial liabilities. In the management of liquidity risk, the Company maintains a balance between continuity of funding and the flexibility through the use of borrowings. Management closely monitors the liquidity position and expects to have adequate sources of funding to finance the Company’s projects and operations. The Company is dependent on external financing and will be required to raise additional capital in the future to fund its operations (Note 1).

 

As at 31 March 2026 and 31 December 2025, the Company had a cash balance of $ 2,370,279 (31 December 2025 - $313,208) to settle current liabilities of $68,216,624 (31 December 2025 - $43,044,024). So far, the Company is not profitable and has had to rely on the issuance of equity securities for cash, primarily through private placements and from related and other parties. The Company’s access to financing is uncertain. There can be no assurance of continued access to significant equity or debt financing.

 

e)Interest rate risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk on the variable rate of interest earned on its cash. The cash flow interest rate risk on cash is insignificant since deposits are short term in nature. The Company does not hold any other financial assets or liabilities with variable interest rates that will have significant impact arising from interest rate risk. The fair value interest rate risk on the Company’s other assets and liabilities are deemed to be insignificant.

 

The Company has not entered into any derivative instruments to manage interest rate fluctuations, thus, the Company is not subject to interest rate risk.

6)Financial instruments and risk management (continued)

 

f)Foreign currency risk

 

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.

 

The Company’s certain operating expenses and acquisition costs are denominated in US$ and incurred by MMTC Delaware, and a large portion of the expenses of the Company are in Canadian dollars. The Company’s corporate office is based in Canada, and the exposure to exchange rate fluctuations arises mainly on foreign currencies, which are the US$.

 

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk. The Company has not entered into any derivative instruments to manage foreign exchange fluctuations; however, management monitors foreign exchange exposure, and if rates continue to fall, management will look at entering into derivative contracts. Should the US dollar and Canadian dollar exchange rate have changed by 5% at the period end, the impact to profit or loss would be +/- $98,000.

 

The Company’s monetary assets and liabilities denominated in Canadian dollars are shown here in US$:

12)Warrant liability

 

On 7 August 2021, the Company issued 9,705,696 warrants to investors in a private placement for consideration of gross proceeds of C$173,250 ($137,365), each warrant allowing the holder to purchase one common share at a price of $0.34 (CAD$0.425) (the “Investor Rights Warrants” or “IRW”) for a period of three-periods from the date the Company completed an initial public offering (“IPO”). On 26 May 2023, the Company modified the terms of the Investor Rights Warrants, allowing them to automatically convert into common shares upon the closing of an IPO on a cashless basis and based on the IPO share price.

 

On 6 July 2024, the Board of the Company approved further modification, in the event that the Company either (a) completes a financing or series of financings or enters into a royalty streaming agreement to raise aggregate gross proceeds of not less than US$5,000,000 at any time between May 1, 2024 and IPO, or (b) completes an IPO where the market value of the Company is not less than US$100,000,000, then in lieu of each common share the subscriber would have otherwise received, the subscriber shall receive a unit (a “Unit”) consisting of one common share and one additional warrant (an “Underlying Warrant”) to purchase one additional common share (an “Underlying Share”) at a price of $0.085 per share which automatically converts on a cashless basis at the time of IPO.

 

As at 31 March 2026, the fair value of the warrant liability has been determined to be $57,716,399 (31 December 2025 - $36,183,565). The Company recognized a total of $21,532,834 fair value loss on the valuation of warrant liability for the period ended 31 March 2026 (31 December 2025 – loss of $36,183,565) and the loss has been included in the interim consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

12)Warrant liability (continued)

 

The warrants were classified as a Level 3 financial instrument. Their fair value was based on an estimated IPO share price of $4.25, approximately 75% probability of an IPO, and an expected IPO timing of mid-2026. The IPO probability increased from 31 December 2025 due to continued progress in the IPO process. As of 31 March 2026, the Company had engaged a lead selling agent, made progress on its Regulation A offering, filed a preliminary offering circular with the Securities and Exchange Commission to issue common shares at $4.25 per share. The warrant liability was discounted from the expected timing of the IPO to 31 March 2026 using a risk-free interest rate of 3.72%.

13)Simple agreement for future equity (“SAFE”)

 

During the year ended 31 December 2025, the Company entered SAFEs with various investors for gross proceeds of $85,000. Until conversion, the SAFE do not represent issued equity instruments and do not provide voting or ownership rights. The Company issued an additional $2,816,956 SAFE during the 3 months ended 31 March 2026.

 

The SAFEs entitle investors to receive common shares upon the occurrence of a qualifying event, such as an initial public offering, at a 25% discount to the future offering price. The number of shares to be issued is variable as it depends on the future share price at the time of conversion. The agreements also include provisions for cash settlement in the event of a liquidity or dissolution event.

 

The SAFE issuances were all with consistent pricing and terms in effect the 3 months ended 31 March 2026; accordingly, no fair value changes were recognized as at 31 March 2026.

 

The SAFE liability of $2,901,956 (31 December 2025 $85,000) is classified as a current liability as at 31 March 2026. During the period ended 31 March 2026, the Company incurred total expenditures of $47,915 related to SAFEs, which were recorded within the general and administration expenses.

There is an investor and consultant who is considered as a related party to the Company due to his significant voting rights through his common share ownership, Investor Right Warrants ownership, the short-term loans outstanding. These facts resulted in the investor and consultant having significant influence over the Company. As at 31 March 2026, the Company had a total of $862,644 of short-term loans (inclusive of interest payable) (31 December 2025 - $854,518) balance owing to this investor and consultant. The terms of the short-term loans are payable on demand and bear interest at 8% per annum, compounded annually. As at 31 March 2026 and 31 December 2025, this investor and consultant owned a total of 3,260,237 of IRW of the Company. The Company incurred consulting fees and office subleasing fees to this investor and consultant of $93,000 for the three months ended 31 March 2026 (31 March 2025 - $33,000). These amounts were recorded in consulting fees and general and administrative expenses respectively on the statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

 

There are investors who are considered related parties to the Company due to their collective ownership of Investor Rights Warrants, common shares, and outstanding short-term loans. These factors result in these individuals having significant influence over the Company. As at 31 March 2026, the Company had a total of CAD $1,307,321 of short-term loans (inclusive of interest payable) (31 December 2025 – CAD $1,248,048) outstanding to these individuals. The terms of the short-term loans are payable on demand and bear interest at 8% per annum, compounded annually. As at 31 March 2026 and 31 December 2025, these individuals held a total of 2,712,694 Investor Rights Warrants of the Company.

16)Capital management

 

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to pursue the Company’s objectives. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business.

 

In the management of capital, the Company includes its components of equity (deficit). The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, issue debt, acquire or adjust the amount of cash and cash equivalents and investments.

 

At this stage of the Company’s development, in order to maximize ongoing development efforts, the Company does not pay out dividends. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. The Company’s capital is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

 

17)Segmented information

18)Commitments

 

In February 2022, the Company has entered into the transition agreement with the former CEO & Director, to provide technical advisory services at $14,000 per month payable until eighteen (18) months following the date of completion of the Company’s IPO; and a one-time bonus of $50,000 if the IPO is successful. It was further agreed to repay the short-term loan of $78,050 plus interest within ten (10) days of closing of the offering. In September 2023, the Company agreed to increase the monthly fee to $15,000 per month following the closing of the IPO for twenty four (24) months and consulting invoices to be paid within seven (7) days of IPO proceeds including interest of 2% compounded monthly. Subsequent to period-end, the former CEO & Director passed away due to an illness. Under the common-law doctrine of frustration, the transition agreement has ceased as performance has become unachievable. Amounts accrued and accruing up to the date of his passing will be paid out in accordance with the transition agreement with all other performance-based compensation nulled.

 

On 8 September 2025, the Company entered into a posting agreement with Equifund Technologies LLC to provide online offering platform services for its Regulation A capital raise. The agreement includes a $45,000 onboarding fee payable upon the first closing and transaction-based administrative fees thereafter. The agreement is for a term of 12 months and may be terminated by mutual consent

 

On 1 March 2026, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Madrina Communications Corp. (“Madrina”) to provide investor relations and advisory services in connection with a planned listing of the Company’s common stock on a U.S. or foreign national securities exchange. The agreement continues until the completion of the listing, unless terminated earlier by either party upon 30 days’ written notice. Upon successful completion of the listing, the Company will pay Madrina a base fee $165,000 for each 30-day period falling within the term (prorated for partial periods), plus $150 per hour for required after-hours services, payable within 30 days of the listing completion. Madrina may also be eligible for a discretionary, merit-based bonus. All fees are expressly contingent upon the completion of the listing; if the Company abandons the listing prior to completion, no fees will be owed other than pre-approved, out-of-pocket expenses. As of 31 March 2026, the Company had accrued consulting fees of $165,000 in connection with the agreement, representing one monthly service period in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

 

On 19 March 2026, the Company entered into a Selling Agency Agreement with Digital Offering, LLC (“Digital Offering”), pursuant to which Digital Offering agreed to act as the Company’s selling agent, on a best efforts basis only, in connection with a Regulation A offering of the Company’s common shares. Under the agreement, Digital Offering is not obligated to underwrite or purchase any securities for its own account and may engage other FINRA-member broker-dealers to assist in the offering. The Company agreed to pay Digital Offering a cash commission equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds received from the sale of the common shares and to issue warrants to purchase a number of common shares equal to 2.5% of the total number of shares sold in the offering, exercisable at 125% of the public offering price commencing on the date of issuance and expiring on the fifth anniversary of the commencement of sales in the offering.

 

19)Subsequent events

 

The Company has evaluated all events occurring through 29 June 2026, the date on which the financial statements were issued, and during which time, nothing has occurred outside the normal course of business operations that would require disclosure except the following:

 

On 2 April 2026, the Company entered into a twelve-month consulting agreement with Skeleton Crew Labs LLC ("SCL") for advisory services related to the Company’s Form 1-A offering. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company issued 470,000 shares of common stock to SCL as a non-refundable retainer. The shares are subject to a six-month contractual hold period following the listing of the Company’s common shares on a national securities exchange in the United States.

 

On 11 May 2026, the Company entered into a Pooling Agreement under which, upon the IPO, “pooled securities,” defined to include all Common Shares, all Investor Rights Warrants, all Convertible Debentures, as applicable, and all securities underlying the Investor Rights Warrants and Convertible Debentures held by the participating securityholders are subject to contractual resale restrictions for 180 days. Under the agreement, 45% of the shares remain restricted during the lock-up period, 25% may be released early if specified share price and trading volume thresholds are achieved, and the remaining 30% may be progressively released in 5% tranches after 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 days following the IPO, provided additional trading price and volume conditions are satisfied.

Management’s Responsibility

 

To the Shareholders of Modern Mining Technology Corp.:

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements, including responsibility for significant accounting judgments and estimates in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. This responsibility includes selecting appropriate accounting principles and methods, and making decisions affecting the measurement of transactions in which objective judgment is required.

 

In discharging its responsibilities for the integrity and fairness of the Consolidated Financial Statements, management designs and maintains the necessary accounting systems and related internal controls to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are authorized, assets are safeguarded and financial records are properly maintained to provide reliable information for the preparation of financial statements.

 

The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee are composed primarily of Directors who are neither management nor employees of the Company. The Board is responsible for overseeing management in the performance of its financial reporting responsibilities, and for approving the financial information included in the annual report. The Board fulfils these responsibilities by reviewing the financial information prepared by management and discussing relevant matters with management and the external auditors. The Audit Committee has the responsibility of meeting with management, and the external auditors to discuss the internal controls over the financial reporting process, auditing matters and financial reporting issues. The Audit Committee is also responsible for recommending the appointment of Modern Mining Technology Corp.’s external auditors.

 

We draw attention to Note 1 in the Consolidated Financial Statements which indicates the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast substantial doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

MNP LLP, an independent firm of Chartered Professional Accountants, is appointed by the shareholders to audit the Consolidated Financial Statements and report directly to them; their report follows. The external auditors have full and free access to meet periodically and separately with the Board of Directors, Audit Committee, and management to discuss their audit findings.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Modern Mining Technology Corp.

 

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Modern Mining Technology Corp. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its consolidated operations and its consolidated cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with IFRS® Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

 

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

1)Nature of operations and going concern

 

Modern Mining Technology Corp. (the “Company” or “MMTC”) was incorporated under British Columbia Business Corporations Act on 26 January 2021. The Company’s registered office is held at 1500 – 1055 West Georgia Street, Royal Centre, PO Box 11, Vancouver, BC V6E 4N7, Canada.

 

On 19 August 2021, the Company and Urban Mining International, Inc. (“UMI”) entered into a merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”), providing for the acquisition of all the issued and outstanding common shares of UMI by the Company. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, UMI and Urban Mining Merger Sub, Inc. (a subsidiary of UMI, created for the transaction) amalgamated and continued under the name of UMI. As a result of the Merger Transaction, UMI became a wholly owned subsidiary of MMTC on 1 September 2021. Subsequently, UMI changed its name to Modern Mining Technology Corp. as of 8 December 2021.

 

UMI was incorporated in the State of Delaware, USA on 8 August 2017 for the purpose of refining precious metals from electronic waste. UMI’s principal operating facility is located in Greenville, NC.

 

These consolidated financial statements (the “Financial Statements”) have been prepared on the basis of the accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which assumes the Company will be able to continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of operations. There are several adverse conditions such as the Company has not generated revenue to date and has a net working capital deficiency that cast substantial doubt upon the soundness of this assumption. These Financial Statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations.

 

Management believes that the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital. There cannot be any assurance that the Company will achieve profitable operations. Furthermore, no assurance can be given that any future financing will be available or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to the Company. Even if the Company is able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on the Company’s operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for the existing shareholders, in case of equity financing. These factors represent material uncertainties that cast substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

 

These Financial Statements do not give effect to any adjustments which would be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern and thus be required to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in other than the normal course of business and at amounts different from those reflected in these Financial Statements. Any such adjustments could be material.

2)Basis of presentation – Statement of Compliance

 

These Financial Statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”). The term “IFRS” is used throughout these Financial Statements to refer collectively to all standards issued by the IASB, including those originally issued as International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) and those issued as International Financial Reporting Standards. The Financial Statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments classified as financial instruments at fair value through profit and loss, which are stated at their fair value.

Modern Mining Technology Corp., (“MMTC Delaware”), formerly known as UMI, which was incorporated on 8 August 2017 in the state of Delaware in the United States, wholly owned by the Company.

 

Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain returns from its activities. The financial activities of the subsidiary are included in these Financial Statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

b)Foreign Currency

 

These Financial Statements are presented in the U.S. dollar (“US$”). The functional currency for the Company is the Canadian dollar. The functional currency of MMTC Delaware is the US$. The functional currency determinations were conducted through an analysis of the consideration factors identified in IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates.

 

Items included in the financial statements of each consolidated entity are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “Functional Currency”). Foreign currency transactions are translated into the Functional Currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of the reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities of the Company which are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the period-end exchange rate. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at rates in effect at the date the assets were acquired, and liabilities incurred. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities not denominated in the Functional Currency of an entity are recognized in profit or loss in the year in which the gain or loss arises.

 

Assets and liabilities of operations with a Functional Currency other than the US$ are translated at the reporting period end rates of exchange, and the results of its operations are translated at average rates of exchange for the year. The resulting translation adjustments are recognized in other comprehensive loss. Additionally, foreign exchange gains and losses related to certain intercompany amounts that are neither planned nor likely to be settled in the foreseeable future are included in other comprehensive loss.

3)Material accounting policy information (continued)

 

c)Loss per share

 

The Company presents basic and diluted loss per share data for its ordinary shares. Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is determined by adjusting the loss attributable to common shareholders and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for the effects of all dilutive potential common shares. Instruments which would be anti-dilutive are not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share.

 

d)Cash

 

Cash include cash on hand and deposits held with banks.

 

e)Property and equipment and leasehold improvements

 

Property and equipment are initially recorded at cost. As assets are available for use, they are depreciated over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis at the following rates: equipment 3 years; leasehold improvements over the term of the lease. The depreciation method, useful life and residual values are assessed annually.

 

In determining amounts of depreciation, the Company is required to estimates how long the assets will be available for use.

 

f)Leases and right-of-use assets

 

The Company has accounted for leases in accordance with IFRS 16 Leases. Contract arrangements are reviewed to determine if the agreement includes identifiable assets that the Company has the right to obtain sustainably all the economic benefits from the use of the asset during the period of use.

 

A right-of-use asset and lease liability are recognized at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date.

 

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term. The right-of-use asset is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability.

 

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate which the Company would have to pay to borrow, over a similar term and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset. The lease liability is subsequently measured by reducing the carrying amount to reflect lease payments made and to reflect any reassessments or modifications. The Company has included the estimated extension of the lease in the lease term in assessing the present value of future lease payments where the exercise of the extension options is reasonably certain.

 

A change in the scope of a lease contract, or the consideration for a lease, that was not part of its original terms and conditions is considered a lease modification. A lease modification is assessed to determine whether it meets the criteria of a separate lease that would require a separate right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the effective date of the modification. If the lease modification is not a separate lease, the Company remeasures the lease liability to reflect changes to the lease payments and adjusts the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset.

g)Impairment of long-lived assets:

 

At the end of each reporting period the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets are impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment, if any. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Fair value is determined as the amount that would be obtained from the sale of the asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount and the impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss for the period. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs.

 

Where an impairment subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate and its recoverable amount, but to an amount that does not exceed the carrying amount, net of accumulated depreciation, that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset (or cash generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

 

Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization are tested annually for impairment.

 

h)Financial instruments

 

Financial liabilities

 

Recognition and initial measurement

 

The Company recognizes a financial liability when it becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. At initial recognition, the Company measures financial liabilities at their fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to their issuance, with the exception of financial liabilities subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss for which transaction costs are immediately recorded in profit or loss.

 

Classification and subsequent measurement

 

Financial liabilities are subsequently classified as measured at amortized cost unless they fall into one of the following categories: financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition, financial guarantee contracts, commitments to provide a loan at a below-market interest rate, or contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination. Interest, gains and losses relating to a financial liability held at amortized cost are recognized in profit or loss.

 

Derecognition of financial liabilities

 

The Company derecognizes a financial liability only when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired.

 

The financial instruments of the Company are classified as follows:

3)Material accounting policy information (continued)

 

Convertible debenture

 

Upon initial recognition, the Company determines whether the convertible debenture consists of liability and equity components, or if both components represent liabilities. The Company evaluated the terms and conditions of the contingent settlement provision determined that the instrument does not contain an equity component. The Company also evaluated the terms and conditions of the conversion feature and determined that the conversion feature does not meet the definition of derivative liability, therefore the entire instrument should be treated as financial liabilities. The convertible debenture was initially recorded at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the instrument to their initial carrying amount. See Note 12.

 

Warrant liability

 

During the year ended 31 December 2023, the Company amended certain terms of the warrants that were issued during the year ended 31 December 2021, and post amendment, the terms of the warrants enabled the holders to exercise the warrants on a “cashless” basis. This resulted in the shares issuable under the warrants to be variable, thus the instrument does not meet the “fixed-for-fixed” criteria. As a result, the Company reclassified the warrants from equity instrument into financial liabilities during the year ended 31 December 2023. The warrant liability has been recognized at the fair value on the date of the amendment and subsequently measured at FVTPL. Any fair value changes in the fair value of the warrant liability has been recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. (See Note 14).

 

Simple Agreements for Future Equity (“SAFE”)

 

During the year ended 31 December 2025, the Company entered into SAFE. The terms of these agreements entitle the holders to receive a variable number of common shares upon the occurrence of a future financing event at a discount to the offering price and may also require cash settlement upon the occurrence of certain events. The SAFE liability has been recognized at fair value on the date of issuance and is subsequently measured at FVTPL in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. Any changes in the fair value of the SAFE liability are recognized in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. (See Note15).

 

k)Share capital

 

The Company’s shares and share warrants that are not classified as financial liabilities are classified as equity instruments. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are charged directly to share capital. Proceeds received on the issuance of units, comprised of common shares and warrants are allocated to common shares and warrants based on the relative fair value.

 

l)Other income (expense)

 

The Company operates a pilot and demonstration facility primarily for research and development. Sales generated from trial campaigns are not considered ordinary activities under IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

 

For the year ended 31 December 2025, the Company recognized $6,833 of expense (31 December 2025 – $24,915 income) within other income, representing proceeds from processed electronic waste feedstock net of purchasing and processing costs.

4)Significant accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty

 

The preparation of the Company’s Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the date of the Financial Statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from these estimates.

 

Management must make significant judgments or assessments as to how financial assets and liabilities are categorized. The following are the critical judgments and areas involving estimates that management have made in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amount recognized in the Financial Statements.

 

a)Significant accounting estimates:

 

Significant assumptions about the future that management has made and about other sources of estimation uncertainty at the financial position reporting date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities relate to but are not limited to the following:

 

Fair value measurement of warrants

 

Certain of the Company’s warrants are re-measured at fair value at the end of every reporting period given they are settled on a cashless basis, which is an area of significant judgement given the Company is not publicly traded. Key assumptions include the share price, probability of an initial public offering and timing of an initial public offering.

 

b)Significant accounting judgments:

 

Significant judgments about the future that management has made and about other sources of judgment uncertainty at the financial position reporting date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities relate to but are not limited to:

 

Functional currency: The determination of the functional currency of the Company as the Canadian dollar and it’s subsidiary as the US$.

 

Going concern: The Company’s ability to execute its strategy by funding future working capital requirements requires judgment. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, such as expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

 

5)New standards, amendments and interpretations not yet adopted

 

The following amendments to standards and interpretations became effective for the annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026. The application of these amendments and interpretations had no significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. The IASB and the IFRIC have issued the following new and revised standards and interpretations that are not yet effective for the relevant reporting periods and the Company has not early adopted these standards, amendments and interpretations. However, the Company is currently assessing what impact the application of these standards or amendments will have on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. The Company intends to adopt these standards, if applicable, when the standards become effective:

 

Effective 1 January 2027, the Company will adopt IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements. The new standards replace IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, and for all entities will Introduce a new defined structure for the statement of profit and loss and require the classification of income and expenses in that statement into one of five categories: operating; investing; financing; income taxes; and discontinued operations. IFRS 18 introduces definitions of these categories for purposes of the statement of profit and loss. Specific categorization requirements will apply to entities whose ‘main business activity’ is to provide financing to customers or to invest in specified assets. Entities will also be required to present new subtotals for ‘operating profit or loss’ and ‘profit or loss before financing and income taxes;

except share amounts

 

5)New standards, amendments and interpretations not yet adopted (continued)

 

Require disclosure of ‘management-defined performance measures’ (MPMs) in a single note to the financial statements. MPMs are subtotals of income and expenses that an entity uses in public communications outside of its financial statements, to communicate management’s view of an aspect of the financial performance of the entity as a whole to users. Entities must disclose a reconciliation between the measure and the most directly comparable total or subtotal specifically required to be disclosed by IFRS Accounting Standards or subtotal listed in IFRS 18;

 

Enhance guidance about how to group information within the financial statements; and

 

For the statement of cash flows, require that ‘operating profit or loss’ be used as the starting point for determining cash flows from operating activities under the indirect method, and remove the optionality around classification of cash flows from interests and dividends.

 

IFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, including for interim financial statements. Earlier application is permitted. The new standards is to be applied retrospectively, and, in the year of adoption, a reconciliation is required between how the statement of profit or loss was presented in the comparative period under IAS 1 and how it is presented in the current year under IFRS 18.

 

6)Financial instruments and risk management

 

In common with all other businesses, the Company is exposed to risk that arise from its use of financial instruments. This note describes the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing those risks and the method used to measure them. Further quantitative information in respect to these risks is presented throughout the Financial Statements.

 

Risk management is carried out by the Company’s management team under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors also provided regular guidance for overall risk management.

 

a)Financial instrument classification and measurement

 

Financial instruments of the Company carried on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position are carried at amortized cost, with the exception of warrant liability, classified and held at fair value through profit or loss.

 

The Company classifies the fair value of these transactions according to the following hierarchy:

 

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments.

 

Level 2 - quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

 

Level 3 - valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

 

The Company’s warrant liability is classified at level 3 with a fair value of $36,183,565 as of 31 December 2025 (31 December 2024 -$nil). See Note 14. The Company’s simple agreements for future equity liability are classified at level 3 with a fair value of $85,000 as of 31 December 2025 (31 December 2024 -$nil). See Note 15.

6)Financial instruments and risk management (continued)

 

b)Market risk

 

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices will affect the Company’s earnings or the value of its financial instruments. Market risk is comprised of other price risk, currency risk, and interest rate risk. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control exposures within acceptable limits, while maximizing returns. These market risks are evaluated by monitoring changes in key economic indicators and market information on an on-going basis, adjusting operations and budgets accordingly. The Company is not subject to market risk.

 

c)Credit risk

 

Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. The Company’s primary exposure to credit risk is on its cash and restricted cash. The Company’s cash and restricted cash are held with major banks in Canada and the United States. Accordingly, the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk.

 

d)Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to settle or manage its obligations associated with financial liabilities. In the management of liquidity risk, the Company maintains a balance between continuity of funding and the flexibility through the use of borrowings. Management closely monitors the liquidity position and expects to have adequate sources of funding to finance the Company’s projects and operations. The Company is dependent on external financing and will be required to raise additional capital in the future to fund its operations (Note 1).

 

As at 31 December 2025 and 31 December 2024, the Company had a cash balance of $313,208 (31 December 2024 - $101,829) to settle current liabilities of $43,044,024 (31 December 2024 - $8,038,773). So far, the Company is not profitable and has had to rely on the issuance of equity securities for cash, primarily through private placements and from related and other parties. The Company’s access to financing is uncertain. There can be no assurance of continued access to significant equity or debt financing.

 

e)Interest rate risk

 

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk on the variable rate of interest earned on its cash and restricted cash. The cash flow interest rate risk on cash is insignificant since deposits are short term in nature. The Company does not hold any other financial assets or liabilities with variable interest rates that will have significant impact arising from interest rate risk. The fair value interest rate risk on the Company’s other assets and liabilities are deemed to be insignificant.

 

The Company has not entered into any derivative instruments to manage interest rate fluctuations, thus, the Company is not subject to interest rate risk.

 

f)Foreign currency risk

 

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.

 

The Company’s certain operating expenses and acquisition costs are denominated in US$ and incurred by MMTC Delaware, and a large portion of the expenses of the Company are in Canadian dollars. The Company’s corporate office is based in Canada, and the exposure to exchange rate fluctuations arises mainly on foreign currencies, which are the US$.

 

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk. The Company has not entered into any derivative instruments to manage foreign exchange fluctuations; however, management monitors foreign exchange exposure, and if rates continue to fall, management will look at entering into derivative contracts. Should the US dollar and Canadian dollar exchange rate have changed by 5% at the period end, the impact to profit or loss would be +/- $83,866.

11)Right-of-use assets and lease liability

 

The Company has entered into a contractual arrangement that include right-of-use assets that relate to the lease of its operating facility. On 22 September 2022, the Company entered into a lease agreement for the lease of the Company’s North Carolina facility for E-Waste feedstock processing. The lease term is for three years, with a right to extend for three additional one year terms. Annual rent during the first three lease years is $120,000, payable in monthly instalments of $10,000. This is subject to adjustment upon extension of the lease term. A security deposit in the amount of $30,000 was paid upon execution of the lease and will be returned without interest at the end of the term, or upon the earlier termination within the conditions of this lease. The incremental borrowing rate utilized to discount future lease payments was 12%.

 

The Company’s operating facility lease expired on 22 September 2025 and the Company used its first right and renewed the lease for an additional one year term. The extension of this lease was accounted for as follows:

12)Convertible debenture and interest payable

 

In April 2022, MMTC arranged for an offering of unsecured convertible debentures (“Debentures”) in an aggregate principal amount of $3,331,390. The Debentures bear interest at five percent (5%) per annum and are unsecured obligations of the Company. The Debentures were due thirty-six months following their issuance. The Debentures also provide that in the event the Company completes a U.S. Listing (i.e., the offering), the principal amount of the Debentures plus any accrued unpaid interest will automatically convert into Common Shares at a conversion price equal to the lessor of (A) a 40% discount to the price of the offering, and (B) $5.00, and shall be subject to a six (6) month hold period from the completion of the offering. Should the Company complete a Canadian Listing (i.e., the offering), the principal amount of the Debentures plus any accrued unpaid interest will automatically convert into Units, comprised of one common share and one-half warrant at a conversion price equal to the lessor of a 20% discount to the price of the offering price. Each whole warrant shall be exercisable at a price equal to a 218% premium to the offering price for a period of 24 months from the date of the Canadian Listing.

 

The Company evaluated the terms and conditions of the contingent settlement provision and determined that the entire instrument would be treated as a financial liability at amortised cost as there is no unconditional right to avoid delivering cash or another financial asset. The transaction price was determined to be the fair value of the convertible debt. The Company incurred $156,994 in finder’s fees and $26,701 in legal fees which were deducted from the principal value of the convertible debt.

13)Contract liability

 

On 18 June 2025, the Company entered into an investment agreement with OR Royalties Inc. (“OR”) to support development of the Company’s initial electronic-waste recovery project in Greenville, North Carolina (the “Initial Project”). Under the agreement OR purchased 47,058 common shares of the Company for gross proceeds of $200,000 (the “Initial Investment”). In addition to the cash consideration, the Company is also required to undertake a third-party study on the technical study report of the Company’s technology (“the Study”), the scope, and the estimated budget and timeline of the Company’s recycling facility project. In addition to the delivery of the report, the Company also agreed to grant potential future royalty rights to the investor. In the case where the Company decided to not pursue the future royalty arrangement but OR wishes to proceed, the Company is required to pay a break-up fee in the amount of $100,000. In the case where OR does not wish to proceed with the future royalty arrangement but the Company wishes to proceed, the investor is required to render the 47,058 common shares issued to the Company. 

 

At inception, the subscription proceeds were recorded as a contract liability in accordance with IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation, as the Company had a contractual obligation to either (i) deliver the Study or (ii) pay the break fee. The arrangement therefore does not meet the definition of an equity instrument until the performance conditions are resolved. 

 

The liability was initially recognized at $200,000, measured at amortized cost until contractual obligations are delivered.

14)Warrant liability

 

On 7 August 2021, the Company issued 9,705,696 warrants to investors in a private placement for consideration of gross proceeds of C$173,250 ($137,365), each warrant allowing the holder to purchase one common share at a price of $0.34 (CAD$0.425) (the “Investor Rights Warrants” or “IRW”) for a period of three-years from the date the Company completed an initial public offering (“IPO”). On 26 May 2023, the Company modified the terms of the Investor Rights Warrants, allowing them to automatically convert into common shares upon the closing of an IPO on a cashless basis and based on the IPO share price.

 

On 6 July 2024, the Board of the Company approved further modification, in the event that the Company either (a) completes a financing or series of financings or enters into a royalty streaming agreement to raise aggregate gross proceeds of not less than US$5,000,000 at any time between May 1, 2024 and IPO, or (b) completes an IPO where the market value of the Company is not less than US$100,000,000, then in lieu of each common share the subscriber would have otherwise received, the subscriber shall receive a unit (a “Unit”) consisting of one common share and one additional warrant (an “Underlying Warrant”) to purchase one additional common share (an “Underlying Share”) at a price of $0.085 per share which automatically converts on a cashless basis at the time of IPO.

 

As at 31 December 2025, the fair value of the warrant liability has been determined to be $36,183,565 (31 December 2024 - $nil). The Company recognized a total of $36,183,565 fair value loss on the valuation of warrant liability for the period ended 31 December 2025 (31 December 2024 – gain of $328,512) and the loss has been included in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss.

 

The warrants were classified as a Level 3 financial instrument. Their fair value was based on an estimated IPO share price of $4.25, approximately 50% probability of an IPO, and an expected IPO timing of mid-2026. The IPO probability increased from a nominal level at 31 December 2024 due to significant progress in the IPO process by 31 December 2025. As of 31 December 2025, the Company had engaged a lead selling agent and filed a preliminary offering circular with the Securities and Exchange Commission to issue common shares at $4.25 per share. The warrant liability was discounted from the expected timing of the IPO to 31 December 2025 using a risk-free interest rate of 3.48%.

15)Simple agreement for future equity (“SAFE”)

 

During the year ended 31 December 2025, the Company entered into SAFEs with various investors for gross proceeds of $85,000. Subsequent to year end, the Company completed an additional financing (see Note 22 – Subsequent events).

 

The SAFEs entitle investors to receive common shares upon the occurrence of a qualifying event, such as an initial public offering, at a 25% discount to the future offering price. The number of shares to be issued is variable as it depends on the future share price at the time of conversion. The agreements also include provisions for cash settlement in the event of a liquidity or dissolution event.

 

The SAFE issuances subsequent to year-end was consistent with the pricing and terms in effect during 2025; accordingly, no fair value changes were recognized as at 31 December 2025.

 

The SAFE liability of $85,000 is classified as a current liability as at 31 December 2025.

18)Capital management

 

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to pursue the Company’s objectives. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management to sustain future development of the business.

 

In the management of capital, the Company includes its components of equity (deficit). The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may attempt to issue new shares, issue debt, acquire or adjust the amount of cash and investments.

 

At this stage of the Company’s development, in order to maximize ongoing development efforts, the Company does not pay out dividends. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. The Company’s capital is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

On 19 March 2026, the Company entered into a Selling Agency Agreement with Digital Offering, LLC (“Digital Offering”), pursuant to which Digital Offering agreed to act as the Company’s selling agent, on a best efforts basis only, in connection with a Regulation A offering of the Company’s common shares.

_______ __, 20__

 

Digital Offering, LLC
1461 Glenneyre Street, Suite D
Laguna Beach, CA 92651 

 

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

Modern Mining technology Corp., a company organized under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada (the “Company”), proposes, subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Amended and Restated Selling Agency Agreement (this “Agreement”), to issue and sell up to a maximum of 9,411,764 common shares, without par value (the “Common Shares”), to investors (each, an “Investor,” and, collectively, the “Investors”), at a purchase price of $4.25 per share (the “Purchase Price”), in an offering (the “Offering”) exempt from registration pursuant to Tier II of Regulation A (“Regulation A”) as promulgated under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and the other applicable rules, orders and regulations of the Commission (collectively referred to as the “Rules and Regulations”) and under the various state securities laws through Digital Offering LLC (the “Selling Agent”), acting on a best efforts basis only, in connection with such sales. The Comon Shares to be sold in this Offering are referred to herein as the “Shares.” The Shares are more fully described in the Amended Offering Statement (as hereinafter defined). This Agreement amends and restates that certain Selling Agency Agreement between the Company and the Selling Agent dated March 19, 2026 (the “Original Agreement”). The Offering commenced on March 19, 2026, pursuant to the Original Agreement.

 

The Company hereby confirms its agreement with the Selling Agent concerning the offering, purchase, and sale of the Shares as follows:

 

1.Agreement to Act as Selling Agent.

 

(a) Best Efforts Basis. On the basis of the representations, warranties, and agreements of the Company herein contained and subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Selling Agent agrees to act on a best efforts basis only in connection with the issuance and sale by the Company of the Shares to the Investors. Under no circumstances will the Selling Agent be obligated to underwrite or purchase any of the Shares for its own account or otherwise provide any financing.

 

(b) Selling Agent’s Commissions. The Company will pay to the Selling Agent a cash commission equal to 7.0% of the gross offering proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Shares (the “Cash Fee”) after the date of this Agreement in the United States and jurisdictions other than Canada, which shall be allocated by the Selling Agent to Dealers (as hereinafter defined) participating in the Offering, in its sole discretion (subject to Section 1(c)).

 

 

 

 

(c) Selling Agent’s Warrants. The Company hereby agrees to issue to the Selling Agent (and/or its designees) a warrant to purchase a number of Common Shares equal to 2.50% of the total number of Shares sold in the Offering in the United States and jurisdictions other than Canada on the Closing Date for the Shares (“Selling Agent’s Warrant”). The Selling Agent’s Warrant agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Selling Agent’s Warrant Agreement”), shall be exercisable, in whole or in part, commencing on the date of issuance and expiring on the five-year anniversary of the date of commencement of sales in the Offering, at an initial exercise price of $5.3125 per share, which is equal to 125% of the Purchase Price of the Shares. The Selling Agent’s Warrant shall not be redeemable. The Selling Agent’s Warrant and the Common Shares underlying the Selling Agent’s Warrant have been deemed compensation by FINRA and are therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to Rule 5110(e)(1) of FINRA. The Selling Agent, or permitted assignees under such rule, may not exercise, sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or hypothecate the Selling Agent’s Warrants or the Common Shares underlying the Selling Agent’s Warrants (such shares, the “Warrant Shares”), nor will the Selling Agent or permitted assignees engage in any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the Selling Agent’s Warrants or the underlying shares for a period of 180 days from commencement of sales in the Offering, except that they may be transferred, in whole or in part, by operation of law or by reason of our reorganization, or to any selected dealer participating in the offering and their officers, partners or registered representatives if the Selling Agent’s Warrant or the Warrant Shares so transferred remain subject to the foregoing lock-up restrictions for the remainder of the time period. The Selling Agent’s Warrant will provide for adjustment in the number and price of such warrants (and the Common Shares underlying such warrants) to prevent dilution in the event of a stock dividend, stock split or other reclassification of the Common Shares and certain registration rights

 

(d) Selected Dealer Agreements. The Selling Agent shall have the right to enter into selected dealer agreements (collectively, the “Selected Dealer Agreements” and each, a “Selected Dealer Agreement”), with other broker-dealers that are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”), in each case after good faith consultation with the Company regarding such proposed dealer (each dealer being referred to herein as a “Dealer,” and said dealers being collectively referred to herein as the “Dealers”). The Cash Fee shall otherwise be re-allowable, in whole or in part, to the Dealers. The Company will not be liable or responsible for direct payment of compensation to any Dealer, it being the sole and exclusive responsibility of the Selling Agent.

 

2.Delivery and Payment.

 

(a) On November 13, 2025, the Company, the Selling Agent and Enterprise Bank & Trust (the “Escrow Agent”) entered into an Escrow Agreement which is included as an exhibit to the Amended Offering Statement (the “Escrow Agreement”), pursuant to which an escrow account has been established, at the Company’s expense, for Investors that participate in the Offering (the “Escrow Account”).

 

(b) Prior to the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) of the Offering: (i) each applicable Investor will execute and deliver to the Company, pursuant to the instructions provided in the Offering Statement, and the Company will make available to the Selling Agent and the Escrow Agent copies of, a subscription agreement substantially in the forms included as an exhibit to the Amended Offering Statement (each, a “Subscription Agreement”); (ii) each Investor will transfer to the Escrow Account funds in an amount equal to the Purchase Price per Share as shown on the cover page of the Final Amended Offering Circular (as hereinafter defined) multiplied by the number of Shares subscribed by such Investor; (iii) subscription funds received from any Investor will be promptly transmitted to the Escrow Account in compliance with Rule 15c2-4 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and (iv) the Escrow Agent will notify the Company and the Selling Agent in writing as to the balance of the collected funds in the Escrow Account.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 2(b), Investors that maintain an account with a participating Dealer may subscribe for Shares pursuant to the procedures in Section 2(b) without depositing funds with the Escrow Agent; provided that each such Investor maintains sufficient funds in their account with such participating Dealer. At the Closing (as hereinafter defined), any amounts subscribed for and Shares delivered will be settled broker-to-broker and credited to the Company’s account.

 

(d) If the Escrow Agent shall have received written notice from the Company and the Selling Agent on or before 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any date on or before [*], 20[*], or at such other time on such other date thereafter as may be agreed upon by the Company and the Selling Agent (such date, the “Closing Date”), the Escrow Agent will release the balance of the Escrow Account for collection by the Company and the Selling Agent as provided in the Escrow Agreement. and the Company shall deliver the Shares purchased by the Investors to the Investors on the Closing Date, which delivery may be made through the facilities of the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or via book entry with the Company’s securities registrar and transfer agent, Equity Stock Transfer, LLC (the “Transfer Agent”). The closing of the Offering (the “Closing”) shall take place at the office of the Selling Agent or such other location as the Selling Agent and the Company shall mutually agree. All actions taken at the Closing shall be deemed to have occurred simultaneously on the Closing Date.

 

(e) The Company reserves the right in its sole discretion to reject any Subscription Agreement in whole or in part. It is understood that no sale of Shares shall be regarded as effective unless and until accepted by the Company.

9. Indemnification.

 

(a) The Company shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Selling Agent and each of the Dealers and each of their respective affiliates, directors, and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Selling Agent (or a Dealer, as the case may be) within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each a “Selling Agent Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, expenses, and damages (including any and all reasonable and documented investigative, legal, and other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with, and any amount paid in settlement of, any action, suit, or proceeding or any claim asserted (whether or not such Selling Agent Indemnified Party is a party thereto)) to which any of them may become subject under the Securities Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law, or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, liabilities, expenses, or damages arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Amended Offering Statement or the Final Amended Offering Circular or any amendment or supplement thereto necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Amended Offering Statement or the Final Amended Offering Circular or any amendment or supplement thereto a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable to the extent that such loss, claim, liability, expense, or damage arises from the sale of the Shares in the Offering to any person or entity and is based solely on an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance on and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Selling Agent Indemnified Party through the Selling Agent expressly for inclusion in the Amended Offering Statement or the Final Amended Offering Circular or in any amendment or supplement thereto, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Selling Agent Indemnified Party consists of the information described as such in Section 9(b). The indemnification obligations under this Section 9(a) are not exclusive and will be in addition to any liability that the Company might otherwise have and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available at law or in equity to each Selling Agent Indemnified Party.

 

(b) The Selling Agent will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each a “Company Indemnified Party”) to the same extent as the indemnity set forth in Section 9(a) above, insofar as such losses, claims, liabilities, expenses, and damages (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Amended Offering Statement or the Final Amended Offering Circular or any amendment or supplement thereto necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Amended Offering Statement or the Final Amended Offering Circular or any amendment or supplement thereto a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Amended Offering Statement or the Final Amended Offering Circular or any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Selling Agent Indemnified Party through the Selling Agent expressly for use therein; and will reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred. The Company acknowledges that, for all purposes under this Agreement, the statements set forth in the paragraphs under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the Amended Offering Statement and the Final Amended Offering Circular constitute the only information relating to the Selling Agent Indemnified Parties furnished in writing to the Company by the Selling Agent expressly for inclusion in the Amended Offering Statement, any Preliminary Amended Offering Circular, or the Final Amended Offering Circular. In no event shall the Selling Agent indemnify the Company for any amounts in excess of the fees actually received by the Selling Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (which fees shall be deemed to include any portion of the Cash Fee provided to Dealers).

 

17

 

 

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 9(a) or 9(b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; provided that the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such Section. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such Section for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable and documented costs of investigation. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned). No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise, or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability, or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

 

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 9(a) or 9(b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Selling Agent and the Dealers, on the other hand, from the offering of the Shares. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under Section 9(c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Selling Agent and the Dealers, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Selling Agent and the Dealers, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the Offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bears to the Cash Fee and other amounts received by the Selling Agent (inclusive of any amount of the Cash Fee or other amounts paid to the Dealers). The relative fault shall be determined, to the extent applicable, by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, on the one hand, or the Selling Agent or Dealers, on the other hand, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Selling Agent agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this this Section 9(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this this Section 9(d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this this Section 9(d), the Selling Agent will not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amounts received by the Selling Agent pursuant to this Agreement (inclusive of any amount of the Cash Fee or other amounts paid to the Dealers). No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the applicable indemnifying party shall not be obligated to indemnify any indemnified party to the extent that any liabilities, claims, causes of action, losses, damages, penalties, fines, expenses, or damages were a result of fraud, willful misconduct, or bad faith of the indemnified party (in each case as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment).

 

18

 

 

10. Termination.

 

(a) The obligations of the Selling Agent under this Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date, by notice to the Company from the Selling Agent, without liability on the part of the Selling Agent to the Company if, prior to delivery and payment for the Shares, in the sole judgment of the Selling Agent: (i) Material Adverse Effect in the securities markets or any event, act or occurrence that has materially disrupted, or in the opinion of the Selling Agent, will in the immediate future materially disrupt, the securities markets or there shall be such a Material Adverse Effect in general financial, political or economic conditions or the effect of international conditions on the financial markets in the United States is such as to make it, in the reasonable judgment of the Selling Agent, inadvisable or impracticable to market the Shares or enforce contracts for the sale of the Shares; (ii) there has occurred any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial, or economic conditions, including, without limitation, as a result of terrorist activities, such as to make it, in the reasonable judgment of the Selling Agent, inadvisable or impracticable to market the Shares or enforce contracts for the sale of the Shares; (iii) trading generally on NYSE has been suspended or materially limited by NYSE or by order of the Commission, FINRA, or any other applicable governmental or regulatory authority; or (iv) a general banking moratorium has been declared by U.S. federal or New York State authorities.

 

(b) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 10, such termination shall be without the liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 7 hereof.

 

11.

Digital Offering, LLC

1461 Glenneyre Street, Suite D

Laguna Beach, CA 92651 

Re:Modern Mining Technology Corp. – Lock-Up Agreement

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

The undersigned, a holder of common shares without par value (“Common Shares”), or rights to acquire such Common Shares, of Modern Mining Technology Corp., a Province of British Columbia corporation (the “Company”), understands that Digital Offering, LLC (the “Selling Agent”), proposes to enter into an Amended and Restated Selling Agency Agreement (the “Selling Agency Agreement”) with the Company providing for the public offering (the “Public Offering”) of Common Shares.

 

To induce the Selling Agent to continue its efforts in connection with the Public Offering, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the undersigned hereby agrees for the benefit of the Company and the Selling Agent that, without the Selling Agent’s prior written consent, the undersigned will not, during the period commencing on the qualification date of the offering circular (the “Offering Circular”) and ending 180 days following the initial closing date of the Public Offering (the “Lock-Up Period”), directly or indirectly (1) offer, pledge, assign, encumber, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, any Common Shares or any securities directly or indirectly convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares owned either of record or beneficially (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), by the undersigned on the date hereof or hereafter acquired or (2) enter into any swap or other agreement or arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Shares, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, or publicly announce an intention to do any of the foregoing. If the undersigned is an officer or director of the Company, the undersigned further agrees that the foregoing restrictions shall be equally applicable to any issuer-directed Common Shares the undersigned may purchase in the Public Offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Offering is abandoned or does not close by _________ __, 202_, the Lock-up Period shall terminate on such date.

 

The foregoing shall not apply to:

 

(i) the sale of Common Shares pursuant to the Selling Agency Agreement;

 

(ii) transactions relating to Common Shares acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Public Offering;

 

(iii) (a) exercises of stock options or equity awards granted pursuant to an equity incentive or other plan or warrants to purchase Common Shares or other securities (including by cashless exercise to the extent permitted by the instruments representing such stock options or warrants so long as such cashless exercise is effected solely by the surrender of outstanding stock options or warrants to the Company and the Company’s cancellation of all or a portion thereof to pay the exercise price), provided that in any such case the securities issued upon exercise shall remain subject to the provisions of this Agreement; (b) transfers of Common Shares or other securities to the Company in connection with the vesting or exercise of any equity awards granted pursuant to an equity incentive or other plan and held by the undersigned to the extent, but only to the extent, as may be necessary to satisfy tax withholding obligations pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive or other plans

(iv) transfers of Common Shares or any security directly or indirectly convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares as a bona fide gift or in connection with estate planning, including, but not limited to, dispositions to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned and dispositions from any grantor retained annuity trust established for the direct benefit of the undersigned or a member of the immediate family of the undersigned, or by will or intestacy;

(vi) (a) any distributions or transfers without consideration of Common Shares or any security directly or indirectly convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares to limited partners, members, stockholders or affiliates of the undersigned, or to any partnership, corporation or limited liability company controlled by the undersigned or by a member of the immediate family of the undersigned; (b) any transfer made in connection with the sale or other bona fide transfer in a single transaction of all or substantially all of the undersigned’s capital stock, partnership interests, membership interests or other similar equity interests, as the case may be, or all or substantially all of the undersigned’s assets, in any such case not undertaken for the purpose of avoiding the restrictions imposed by this Agreement; or

 

(vii) the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b 5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of Common Shares, provided that such plan does not provide for the transfer of Common Shares during the Lock-Up Period.

 

Provided¸ however, that (a) in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clause (iv) or (vi), each donee or distributee shall sign and deliver a lock-up letter agreement substantially in the form of this letter agreement (the “agreement”) and (b) in the case of any transaction pursuant to clauses (iv), (vi) or (vii), such transaction is not required to be reported during the Lock-Up Period by anyone in any public report or filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise (other than a required filing on Form 5, Schedule 13D or Schedule 13G (or 13D/A or 13G/A) and no such filing shall be made voluntarily during the Lock-Up Period. In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the Selling Agent’s prior written consent, it will not, during the Lock-Up Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any Common Shares or any security directly or indirectly convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares.

 

The undersigned hereby further agrees that, prior to engaging in any transaction or taking any other action that is subject to the terms of this agreement during the Lock-Up Period, it will give notice thereof to the Company and will not consummate such transaction or take such action unless it has received written confirmation from the Company that the Lock-Up Period has expired.

 

In furtherance of the foregoing, (1) the undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with any duly appointed transfer agent for the registration or transfer of the securities described herein against the transfer of any such securities except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions, and (2) the Company, and any duly appointed transfer agent for the registration or transfer of the securities described herein, are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this agreement.

 

24

The undersigned understands that the Company and the Selling Agent are relying upon this agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Public Offering. The undersigned further understands that this agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

 

The undersigned acknowledges that whether or not the Public Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions, that any Public Offering will be made only pursuant to a Selling Agency Agreement the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Company and the Selling Agent and that there is no assurance that the Company and the Selling Agent will enter into an Selling Agency Agreement with respect to the Public Offering or that the Public Offering will be consummated.

 

This agreement shall automatically terminate upon the earliest to occur, if any, of (1) either the Selling Agent, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, advising the other in writing, prior to the execution of the Selling Agency Agreement, that they have determined not to proceed with the Public Offering, (2) termination of the Selling Agency Agreement before the sale of any Common Shares pursuant to the Selling Agency Agreement, (3) the withdrawal of the Offering Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the Public Offering, or (4) _________ __, 202_, in the event that the Selling Agency Agreement has not been executed by that date.

 

This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

(vi) To amend the Plan in any respect the Board deems necessary or advisable, including, without limitation, by adopting amendments relating to Incentive Stock Options and certain nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code and/or bringing the Plan or Awards granted under the Plan into compliance with the requirements for Incentive Stock Options or ensuring that they are exempt from, or compliant with, the requirements for nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code, subject to the limitations, if any, of applicable law. If required by applicable law or listing requirements, and except as provided in Section 9(a) relating to Capitalization Adjustments, the Corporation will seek shareholder approval of any amendment of the Plan that (A) materially increases the number of Common Shares available for issuance under the Plan, (B) materially expands the class of individuals eligible to receive Awards under the Plan, (C) materially increases the benefits accruing to Participants under the Plan, (D) materially reduces the price at which Common Shares may be issued or purchased under the Plan, (E) materially extends the term of the Plan, or (F) materially expands the types of Awards available for issuance under the Plan. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or an Award Agreement, no amendment of the Plan will materially impair a Participant’s rights under an outstanding Award without the Participant’s written consent.

 

(vii) To submit any amendment to the Plan for shareholder approval, including, but not limited to, amendments to the Plan intended to satisfy the requirements of (A) Section 422 of the Code regarding Incentive Stock Options.

 

(viii) To approve forms of Award Agreements for use under the Plan and to amend the terms of any one or more Awards, including, but not limited to, amendments to provide terms more favorable to the Participant than previously provided in the Award Agreement, subject to any specified limits in the Plan that are not subject to Board discretion; provided however, that a Participant’s rights under any Award will not be impaired by any such amendment unless (A) the Corporation requests the consent of the affected Participant, and (B) such Participant consents in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) a Participant’s rights will not be deemed to have been impaired by any such amendment if the Board, in its sole discretion, determines that the amendment, taken as a whole, does not materially impair the Participant’s rights, and (2) subject to the limitations of applicable law, if any, the Board may amend the terms of any one or more Awards without the affected Participant’s consent (A) to maintain the qualified status of the Award as an Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of the Code; (B) to change the terms of an Incentive Stock Option, if such change results in impairment of the Award solely because it impairs the qualified status of the Award as an Incentive Stock Option under Section 422 of the Code; (C) to clarify the manner of exemption from, or to bring the Award into compliance with, Section 409A of the Code; or (D) to comply with other applicable laws or listing requirements.

 

(ix) Generally, to exercise such powers and to perform such acts as the Board deems necessary or expedient to promote the best interests of the Corporation and that are not in conflict with the provisions of the Plan or Awards.

 

(x) To adopt such procedures and sub-plans as are necessary or appropriate to permit participation in the Plan by Employees, Officers, Directors or Consultants who are foreign nationals or employed outside the United States (provided that Board approval will not be necessary for immaterial modifications to the Plan or any Award Agreement that are required for compliance with the laws of the relevant foreign jurisdiction).

 

(xi) To effect, with the consent of any adversely affected Participant, (A) the reduction of the exercise, purchase or strike price of any outstanding Award; (B) the cancellation of any outstanding Award and the grant in substitution therefor of a new (1) Option, (2) Restricted Share Unit Award, and/or (3) Other Award, determined by the Board, in its sole discretion, with any such substituted award (x) covering the same or a different number of Common Shares as the cancelled Award and (y) granted under the Plan or another equity or compensatory plan of the Corporation; or (C) any other action that is treated as a repricing under generally accepted accounting principles.

(c) Delegation to Committee.

 

(i) General. The Board may delegate some or all of the administration of the Plan to a Committee or Committees. If administration of the Plan is delegated to a Committee, the Committee will have, in connection with the administration of the Plan, the powers theretofore possessed by the Board that have been delegated to the Committee, including the power to delegate to a subcommittee of the Committee any of the administrative powers the Committee is authorized to exercise (and references in this Plan to the Board will thereafter be to the Committee or subcommittee, as applicable). Any delegation of administrative powers will be reflected in resolutions, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan, adopted from time to time by the Board or Committee (as applicable). The Committee may, at any time, abolish the subcommittee and/or revest in the Committee any powers delegated to the subcommittee. The Board may retain the authority to concurrently administer the Plan with the Committee and may, at any time, revest in the Board some or all of the powers previously delegated.

 

(d) Delegation to an Officer. The Board may delegate to one or more Officers the authority to do one or both of the following: (i) designate Employees who are not Officers to be recipients of Options and SARs (and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, other Awards) and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the terms of such Awards, and (ii) determine the number of Common Shares to be subject to such Awards granted to such Employees; provided, however, that the Board resolutions regarding such delegation will specify the total number of Common Shares that may be subject to the Awards granted by such Officer and that such Officer may not grant an Award to himself or herself. Any such Awards will be granted on the form of Award Agreement most recently approved for use by the Committee or the Board, unless otherwise provided in the resolutions approving the delegation authority. The Board may not delegate authority to an Officer who is acting solely in the capacity of an Officer (and not also as a Director) to determine the Market Value pursuant to Section 14(w)(i)B below.

 

(e) Effect of Board’s Decision. All determinations, interpretations and constructions made by the Board in good faith will not be subject to review by any person and will be final, binding and conclusive on all persons.

 

3. SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.

 

(a) Share Reserve. Subject to Section 9(a) relating to Capitalization Adjustments and any subsequent amendment to this Plan, the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to Awards granted under this Plan, including any options granted under previous stock option plans outstanding as of the date of this Plan, shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the Corporation’s total issued and outstanding Common Shares from time to time. This Plan is considered an “evergreen” plan, since the shares covered by Awards which have been exercised or terminated shall be available for subsequent grants under the Plan and the number of Awards available to grant increases as the number of issued and outstanding Shares increases.

 

(b) To the extent any Awards (or portion(s) thereof) under this Plan are exercised, terminate or are cancelled for any reason prior to exercise in full, any shares subject to such Awards (or portion(s) thereof) shall be added back to the number of shares reserved for issuance under this Plan and will again become available for issuance pursuant to the exercise of Awards granted under this Plan.

 

(c) Any shares issued by the Corporation through the assumption or substitution of outstanding stock options or other equity-based awards from an acquired company shall not reduce the number of Shares available for issuance pursuant to the exercise of Awards granted under this Plan.

 

- 3 -

 

 

(d) For clarity, the Share Reserve in this Section 3(a) is a limitation on the number of Common Shares that may be issued pursuant to the Plan. Accordingly, this Section 3(a) does not limit the granting of SAR Awards or any Other Award not involving, whether by election or otherwise, the issuance of Common Shares to the Participant.

 

(e) Reversion of Shares to the Share Reserve. If an Award or any portion thereof (i) expires or otherwise terminates without all of the shares covered by such Award having been issued or (ii) is settled in cash (i.e., the Participant receives cash rather than stock), such expiration, termination or settlement will not reduce (or otherwise offset) the number of Common Shares that may be available for issuance under the Plan. If any Common Shares issued pursuant to an Award are forfeited back to or repurchased by the Corporation because of the failure to meet a contingency or condition required to vest such shares in the Participant, then the shares that are forfeited or repurchased will revert to and again become available for issuance under the Plan. Any shares reacquired by the Corporation in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations on an Award or as consideration for the exercise or purchase price of an Award will again become available for issuance under the Plan.

 

(f) Source of Shares. The shares issuable under the Plan will be shares of authorized but unissued Common Shares.

 

4. ELIGIBILITY.

 

(a) Eligibility for Specific Awards. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to applicable employees of the Corporation or a “parent corporation” or “subsidiary corporation” thereof (as such terms are defined in Sections 424(e) and 424(f) of the Code). Awards other than Incentive Stock Options may be granted to Employees, Officers, Directors and Consultants.

 

(b) Ten Percent Shareholders. A Ten Percent Shareholder will not be granted an Incentive Stock Option unless the exercise price of such Option is at least 110% of the Market Value on the date of grant and the Option is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date of grant.

 

5. PROVISIONS RELATING TO OPTIONS AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS.

 

Each Option or SAR will be in such form and will contain such terms and conditions as the Board deems appropriate. All Options will be separately designated Incentive Stock Options or Non-Incentive Stock Options at the time of grant, and, if certificates are issued, a separate certificate or certificates will be issued for Common Shares purchased on exercise of each type of Option. If an Option is not specifically designated as an Incentive Stock Option, or if an Option is designated as an Incentive Stock Option but some portion or all of the Option fails to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option under the applicable rules, then the Option (or portion thereof) will be a Non-Incentive Stock Option. The provisions of separate Options or SARs need not be identical; provided, however, that each Award Agreement will conform to (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the applicable Award Agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:

 

(a) Term. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(b) regarding Ten Percent Shareholders, no Option or SAR will be exercisable after the expiration of 10 years from the date of its grant or such shorter period specified in the Award Agreement.

 

(b) Exercise Price. Subject to the provisions of Section 4(b) regarding Ten Percent Shareholders, the exercise or strike price of each Option or SAR will be not less than 100% of the Market Value of the Common Shares subject to the Option or SAR on the date the Award is granted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option or SAR may be granted with an exercise or strike price lower than 100% of the Market Value of the Common Shares subject to the Award if such Award is granted pursuant to an assumption of or substitution for another option or stock appreciation right pursuant to a Corporate Transaction; provided that such grant is permitted under applicable Securities Laws and Stock Exchange Rules and, to the extent relevant to the Participant, is made in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code and, if applicable, Section 424(a) of the Code. Each SAR will be denominated in Common Share equivalents.

 

- 4 -

 

 

(c) Purchase Price for Options. The purchase price of Common Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an Option may be paid, to the extent permitted by applicable law and as determined by the Board in its sole discretion, by any combination of the methods of payment set forth below. The Board will have the authority to grant Options that do not permit all of the following methods of payment (or otherwise restrict the ability to use certain methods) and to grant Options that require the consent of the Corporation to use a particular method of payment. The permitted methods of payment are as follows:

 

(i) by cash, certified cheque, bank draft or money order payable to the Corporation;

 

(ii) if an Option is a Non-Incentive Stock Option, by a “net exercise” arrangement pursuant to which the Corporation will reduce the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise by the largest whole number of shares with a Market Value that does not exceed the aggregate exercise price; provided, however, that the Corporation will accept a cash or other payment from the Participant to the extent of any remaining balance of the aggregate exercise price not satisfied by such reduction in the number of whole shares to be issued. Common Shares will no longer be subject to an Option and will not be exercisable thereafter to the extent that (A) shares issuable upon exercise are used to pay the exercise price pursuant to the “net exercise,” (B) shares are delivered to the Participant as a result of such exercise, and (C) shares are withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations; or

 

(iii) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board and specified in the applicable Award Agreement.

 

(d) Exercise and Payment of a SAR. To exercise any outstanding SAR, the Participant must provide written notice of exercise to the Corporation in compliance with the provisions of the Stock Appreciation Right Agreement evidencing such SAR. The appreciation distribution payable on the exercise of a SAR will be not greater than an amount equal to the excess of (A) the aggregate Market Value (on the date of the exercise of the SAR) of a number of Common Shares equal to the number of Common Share equivalents in which the Participant is vested under such SAR, and with respect to which the Participant is exercising the SAR on such date, over (B) the aggregate strike price of the number of Common Share equivalents with respect to which the Participant is exercising the SAR on such date. The appreciation distribution may be paid in Common Shares, in cash, in any combination of the two or in any other form of consideration, as determined by the Board and contained in the Award Agreement evidencing such SAR.

 

(e) Transferability of Options and SARs. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement or other agreement between the Participant and the Corporation or as otherwise expressly consented to by the Board, Options and SARs shall not be assignable, transferable or negotiable (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and may not be assigned or transferred other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

 

(f) Vesting Generally. The total number of Common Shares subject to an Option or SAR may vest and therefore become exercisable in periodic installments that may or may not be equal. The Option or SAR may be subject to such other terms and conditions on the time or times when it may or may not be exercised (which may be based on the satisfaction of performance goals or other criteria) as the Board may deem appropriate. The vesting provisions of individual Options or SARs may vary. The provisions of this Section 5(f) are subject to any Option or SAR provisions governing the minimum number of Common Shares as to which an Option or SAR may be exercised.

 

- 5 -

 

 

(g) Termination of Continuous Service. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement or other agreement between the Participant and the Corporation, if a Participant’s Continuous Service terminates (other than for Cause and other than upon the Participant’s death or Disability), the Participant may exercise his or her Option or SAR (to the extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise such Award as of the date of termination of Continuous Service) within the period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date ninety (90) days following the termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service (or such longer or shorter period specified in the applicable Award Agreement, which period will not be less than 30 days if necessary to comply with applicable laws unless such termination is for Cause) and (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option or SAR as set forth in the Award Agreement. If, after termination of Continuous Service, the Participant does not exercise his or her Option or SAR (as applicable) within the applicable time frame, the Option or SAR will terminate.

 

(h) Disability of Participant. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement or other agreement between the Participant and the Corporation, if a Participant’s Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Participant’s Disability, the Participant may exercise his or her Option or SAR (to the extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise such Option or SAR as of the date of termination of Continuous Service), but only within such period of time ending on the earlier of (i) the date 12 months following such termination of Continuous Service (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Award Agreement, which period will not be less than six months if necessary to comply with applicable laws unless such termination is for Cause), and (ii) the expiration of the term of the Option or SAR as set forth in the Award Agreement. If, after termination of Continuous Service, the Participant does not exercise his or her Option or SAR within the applicable time frame, the Option or SAR (as applicable) will terminate.

 

(i) Death of Participant. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement or other agreement between the Participant and the Corporation, if (i) a Participant’s Continuous Service terminates as a result of the Participant’s death, or (ii) the Participant dies within the period (if any) specified in the Award Agreement for exercisability after the termination of the Participant’s Continuous Service (for a reason other than death), then the Option or SAR may be exercised (to the extent the Participant was entitled to exercise such Option or SAR as of the date of death) by the Participant’s estate, by a person who acquired the right to exercise the Option or SAR by bequest or inheritance or by a person designated to exercise the Option or SAR upon the Participant’s death, but only within the period ending on the earlier of (i) the date 12 months following the date of death (or such longer or shorter period specified in the Award Agreement, which period will not be less than six months if necessary to comply with applicable laws unless such termination is for Cause), and (ii) the expiration of the term of such Option or SAR as set forth in the Award Agreement. If, after the Participant’s death, the Option or SAR is not exercised within the applicable time frame, the Option or SAR (as applicable) will terminate.

 

(j) Termination for Cause. Except as explicitly provided otherwise in a Participant’s Award Agreement or other individual written agreement between the Corporation or any Affiliate and the Participant, if a Participant’s Continuous Service is terminated for Cause, the Option or SAR will terminate immediately upon such Participant’s termination of Continuous Service, and the Participant will be prohibited from exercising his or her Option or SAR from and after the date of such termination of Continuous Service.

 

- 6 -

 

 

(k) Non-Exempt Employees. If an Option or SAR is granted to an Employee who is a non-exempt employee for purposes of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, the Option or SAR will not be first exercisable for any Common Shares until at least six months following the date of grant of the Option or SAR (although the Award may vest prior to such date). Consistent with the provisions of the Worker Economic Opportunity Act, (i) if such non- exempt Employee dies or suffers a Disability, (ii) upon a Corporate Transaction in which such Option or SAR is not assumed, continued, or substituted, (iii) upon a Change in Control, or (iv) upon the Participant’s retirement (as such term may be defined in the Participant’s Award Agreement, in another agreement between the Participant and the Corporation, or, if no such definition, in accordance with the Corporation’s then current employment policies and guidelines), the vested portion of any Options and SARs may be exercised earlier than six months following the date of grant. The foregoing provision is intended to operate so that any income derived by a non-exempt employee in connection with the exercise or vesting of an Option or SAR will be exempt from his or her regular rate of pay. To the extent permitted and/or required for compliance with the Worker Economic Opportunity Act to ensure that any income derived by a non-exempt employee in connection with the exercise, vesting or issuance of any shares under any other Award will be exempt from the employee’s regular rate of pay, the provisions of this Section will apply to all Awards and are hereby incorporated by reference into such Award Agreements.

 

(l) Right of Repurchase. Subject to the “Repurchase Limitation” and any applicable Securities Laws and Stock Exchange Rules, the Option or SAR may include a provision whereby the Corporation may elect to repurchase all or any part of the vested Common Shares acquired by the Participant pursuant to the exercise of the Option or SAR.

 

(m) Right of First Refusal. Subject to any applicable Securities Laws and Stock Exchange Rules, the Option or SAR may include a provision whereby the Corporation may elect to exercise a right of first refusal following receipt of notice from the Participant of the intent to transfer all or any part of the Common Shares received upon the exercise of the Option. Such right of first refusal will be subject to the “Repurchase Limitation”. Except as expressly provided in this Section or in the Award Agreement, such right of first refusal will otherwise comply with any applicable provisions of the bylaws of the Corporation.

 

6. PROVISIONS OF AWARDS OTHER THAN OPTIONS AND SARS.

 

(a) Restricted Share Unit Awards. Each Restricted Share Unit Award Agreement will be in such form and will contain such terms and conditions as the will Board deem appropriate. The terms and conditions of Restricted Share Unit Award Agreements may change from time to time, and the terms and conditions of separate Restricted Share Unit Award Agreements need not be identical. Each Restricted Share Unit Award Agreement will conform to (through incorporation of the provisions hereof by reference in the Agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:

 

(i) Consideration. At the time of grant of a Restricted Share Unit Award, the Board will determine the consideration, if any, to be paid by the Participant upon delivery of each Common Share subject to the Restricted Share Unit Award. The consideration to be paid (if any) by the Participant for each Common Share subject to a Restricted Share Unit Award may be paid in any form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Board, in its sole discretion, and permissible under applicable law.

 

(ii) Vesting. At the time of the grant of a Restricted Share Unit Award, the Board may impose such restrictions on or conditions to the vesting of the Restricted Share Unit Award as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate.

 

(iii) Payment. A Restricted Share Unit Award may be settled by the delivery of Common Shares, their cash equivalent, any combination thereof or in any other form of consideration, as determined by the Board and contained in the Restricted Share Unit Award Agreement.

 

- 7 -

 

 

(iv) Additional Restrictions. At the time of the grant of a Restricted Share Unit Award, the Board, as it deems appropriate, may impose such restrictions or conditions that delay the delivery of the Common Shares (or their cash equivalent) subject to a Restricted Share Unit Award to a time after the vesting of such Restricted Share Unit Award.

 

(v) Dividend Equivalents. Dividend equivalents may be credited in respect of Common Shares covered by a Restricted Share Unit Award, as determined by the Board and contained in the Restricted Share Unit Award Agreement. At the sole discretion of the Board, such dividend equivalents may be converted into additional Common Shares covered by the Restricted Share Unit Award in such manner as determined by the Board. Any additional shares covered by the Restricted Share Unit Award credited by reason of such dividend equivalents will be subject to all of the same terms and conditions of the underlying Restricted Share Unit Award Agreement to which they relate.

 

(vi) Termination of Participant’s Continuous Service. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable Restricted Share Unit Award Agreement, such portion of the Restricted Share Unit Award that has not vested will be forfeited upon the Participant’s termination of Continuous Service.

 

(vii) Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, any Restricted Share Unit Award granted under the Plan that is not exempt from the requirements of Section 409A of the Code shall contain such provisions so that such Restricted Share Unit Award will comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Such restrictions, if any, shall be determined by the Board and contained in the Restricted Share Unit Award Agreement evidencing such Restricted Share Unit Award. For example, such restrictions may include, without limitation, a requirement that any Common Share that is to be issued in a year following the year in which the Restricted Share Unit Award vests must be issued in accordance with a fixed pre-determined schedule.

 

(b) Other Awards. Other forms of Awards valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, Common Shares, including the appreciation in value thereof may be granted either alone or in addition to Awards provided for under Section 5 and the preceding provisions of this Section 6. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board will have sole and complete authority to determine the persons to whom and the time or times at which such Other Awards will be granted, the number of Common Shares (or the cash equivalent thereof) to be granted pursuant to such Other Awards and all other terms and conditions of such Other Awards.

 

7. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

 

(a) Availability of Shares. The Corporation will keep available at all times the number of Common Shares reasonably required to satisfy then- outstanding Awards.

 

(b) Securities Law Compliance. The Corporation will seek to obtain from each securities commission or other regulatory body having jurisdiction over the Plan, as necessary, such authority as may be required to grant Awards and to issue and sell Common Shares upon exercise or vesting of the Awards; provided, however, that this undertaking will not require the Corporation to register or qualify by prospectus under applicable Securities Laws, the Plan, any Award or any Common Shares issued or issuable pursuant to any such Award. If, after reasonable efforts and at a reasonable cost, the Corporation is unable to obtain from any such regulatory commission or agency the authority that counsel for the Corporation deems necessary or advisable for the lawful issuance and sale of Common Shares under the Plan, the Corporation will be relieved from any liability for failure to issue and sell Common Shares upon exercise or vesting of such Awards unless and until such authority is obtained. A Participant will not be eligible for the grant of an Award or the subsequent issuance of cash or Common Shares pursuant to the Award if such grant or issuance would be in violation of any applicable securities law.

 

- 8 -

 

 

(c) No Obligation to Notify or Minimize Taxes. The Corporation will have no duty or obligation to any Participant to advise such holder as to the tax treatment or time or manner of exercising such Award. Furthermore, the Corporation will have no duty or obligation to warn or otherwise advise such holder of a pending termination or expiration of an Award or a possible period in which the Award may not be exercised. The Corporation has no duty or obligation to minimize the tax consequences of an Award to the holder of such Award.

 

8. MISCELLANEOUS.

 

(a) Use of Proceeds from Sales of Common Shares. Proceeds from the sale of Common Shares pursuant to Awards will constitute general funds of the Corporation.

 

(b) Corporate Action Constituting Grant of Awards. Corporate action constituting a grant by the Corporation of an Award to any Participant will be deemed completed as of the date of such corporate action, unless otherwise determined by the Board, regardless of when the instrument, certificate, or letter evidencing the Award is communicated to, or actually received or accepted by, the Participant. In the event that the corporate records (e.g., Board consents, resolutions or minutes) documenting the corporate action constituting the grant contain terms (e.g., exercise price, vesting schedule or number of shares) that are inconsistent with those in the Award Agreement or related grant documents as a result of a clerical error in the papering of the Award Agreement or related grant documents, the corporate records will control and the Participant will have no legally binding right to the incorrect term in the Award Agreement or related grant documents.

 

(c) Shareholder Rights. No Participant will be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any Common Shares subject to an Award unless and until (i) such Participant has satisfied all requirements for exercise of, or the issuance of Common Shares under, the Award pursuant to its terms, and (ii) the issuance of the Common Shares subject to the Award has been entered into the books and records of the Corporation.

 

(d) No Employment or Other Service Rights. Nothing in the Plan, any Award Agreement or any other instrument executed thereunder or in connection with any Award granted pursuant thereto will confer upon any Participant any right to continue to serve the Corporation or an Affiliate in the capacity in effect at the time the Award was granted or will affect the right of the Corporation or an Affiliate to terminate (i) the employment of an Employee with or without notice and with or without cause, (ii) the service of a Consultant pursuant to the terms of such Consultant’s agreement with the Corporation or an Affiliate, or (iii) the service of a Director pursuant to the bylaws of the Corporation or an Affiliate, and any applicable provisions of the corporate law of the state of foreign jurisdiction in which the Corporation or the Affiliate is domiciled or incorporated, as the case may be.

 

(e) Change in Time Commitment. In the event a Participant’s regular level of time commitment in the performance of his or her services for the Corporation and any Affiliates is reduced (for example, and without limitation, if the Participant is an Employee of the Corporation and the Employee has a change in status from a full-time Employee to a part-time Employee or takes an extended leave of absence) after the date of grant of any Award to the Participant, the Board has the right in its sole discretion to (x) make a corresponding reduction in the number of shares or cash amount subject to any portion of such Award that is scheduled to vest or become payable after the date of such change in time commitment, and (y) in lieu of or in combination with such a reduction, extend the vesting or payment schedule applicable to such Award. In the event of any such reduction, the Participant will have no right with respect to any portion of the Award that is so reduced or extended.

 

- 9 -

 

 

(f) Incentive Stock Option Limitations. To the extent that the aggregate Market Value (determined at the time of grant) of Common Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Optionholder during any calendar year (under all plans of the Corporation and any Affiliates) exceeds $100,000 (or such other limit established in the Code) or otherwise does not comply with the rules governing Incentive Stock Options, the Options or portions thereof that exceed such limit (according to the order in which they were granted) or otherwise do not comply with such rules will be treated as Non-Incentive Stock Options, notwithstanding any contrary provision of the applicable Option Agreement(s).

 

(g) Investment Assurances. The Corporation may require a Participant, as a condition of exercising or acquiring Common Shares under any Award, (i) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Corporation as to the Participant’s knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and/or to employ a purchaser representative reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation who is knowledgeable and experienced in financial and business matters and that the Participant is capable of evaluating, alone or together with the purchaser representative, the merits and risks of exercising the Award; and (ii) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Corporation stating that the Participant is acquiring Common Shares subject to the Award for the Participant’s own account and not with any present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the Common Shares. The foregoing requirements, and any assurances given pursuant to such requirements, will be inoperative if as to any particular requirement, a determination is made by counsel for the Corporation that such requirement need not be met in the circumstances under the then applicable Securities Laws. The Corporation may, upon advice of counsel to the Corporation, place legends on stock certificates issued under the Plan as such counsel deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with applicable Securities Laws, including, but not limited to, legends restricting the transfer of the Common Shares.

 

(h) Withholding Obligations. Unless prohibited by the terms of an Award Agreement, the Corporation may, in its sole discretion, satisfy any federal, state or local tax withholding obligation relating to an Award by any of the following means or by a combination of such means: (i) causing the Participant to tender a cash payment; (ii) withholding Common Shares from the Common Shares issued or otherwise issuable to the Participant in connection with the Award; provided, however, that no Common Shares are withheld with a value exceeding the maximum amount of tax required to be withheld by law (or such lesser amount as may be necessary to avoid classification of the Award as a liability for financial accounting purposes); (iii) withholding cash from an Award settled in cash; (iv) withholding payment from any amounts otherwise payable to the Participant; or (v) by such other method as may be set forth in the Award Agreement.

 

(i) Deferrals. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board, in its sole discretion, may determine that the delivery of Common Shares or the payment of cash, upon the exercise, vesting or settlement of all or a portion of any Award may be deferred and may establish programs and procedures for deferral elections to be made by Participants. Deferrals by Participants will be made in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. Consistent with Section 409A of the Code, the Board may provide for distributions while a Participant is still an employee or otherwise providing services to the Corporation. The Board is authorized to make deferrals of Awards and determine when, and in what annual percentages, Participants may receive payments, including lump sum payments, following the Participant’s termination of Continuous Service, and implement such other terms and conditions consistent with the provisions of the Plan and in accordance with applicable law.

 

- 10 -

 

 

(j) Clawback/Recovery. All Awards granted under the Plan will be subject to recoupment in accordance with any clawback policy that the Corporation is required to adopt pursuant to the listing standards of any national securities exchange or association on which the Corporation’s securities are listed or as is otherwise required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or other applicable law. In addition, the Board may impose such other clawback, recovery or recoupment provisions in an Award Agreement as the Board determines necessary or appropriate, including but not limited to a reacquisition right in respect of previously acquired Common Shares or other cash or property upon the occurrence of Cause. No recovery of compensation under such a clawback policy will be an event giving rise to a right to voluntary terminate employment upon a “resignation for good reason,” or for a “constructive termination” or any similar term under any plan of or agreement with the Corporation.

 

(k) Compliance with Section 409A of the Code. Unless otherwise expressly provided for in an Award Agreement, the Plan and Award Agreements will be interpreted to the greatest extent possible in a manner that makes the Plan and the Awards granted hereunder exempt from Section 409A of the Code, and, to the extent not so exempt, in compliance with Section 409A of the Code. If the Board determines that any Award granted hereunder is not exempt from and is therefore subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Award Agreement evidencing such Award will incorporate the terms and conditions necessary to avoid the consequences specified in Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code, and to the extent an Award Agreement is silent on terms necessary for compliance, such terms are hereby incorporated by reference into the Award Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Plan (and unless the Award Agreement specifically provides otherwise), if the Common Shares are publicly traded, and if a Participant holding an Award that constitutes “deferred compensation” under Section 409A of the Code is a “specified employee” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, no distribution or payment of any amount that is due because of a “separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A of the Code without regard to alternative definitions thereunder) will be issued or paid before the date that is six months following the date of such Participant’s “separation from service” or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death, unless such distribution or payment can be made in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code, and any amounts so deferred will be paid in a lump-sum on the day after such six month period elapses, with the balance paid thereafter on the original schedule.

 

(l) Repurchase Limitation. The terms of any repurchase right will be specified in the Award Agreement. Subject to any applicable Securities Laws and Stock Exchange Rules, the repurchase price for vested Common Shares will be the Market Value of the Common Shares on the date of repurchase. Subject to any applicable Securities Laws and Stock Exchange Rules, the repurchase price for unvested Common Shares will be the lower of (i) the Market Value of the Common Shares on the date of repurchase or (ii) their original purchase price. However, the Corporation will not exercise its repurchase right until at least six months (or such longer or shorter period of time necessary to avoid classification of the Award as a liability for financial accounting purposes) have elapsed following delivery of Common Shares subject to the Award, unless otherwise specifically provided by the Board.

 

9. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN COMMON SHARES; OTHER CORPORATE EVENTS.

 

(a) Capitalization Adjustments. In the event of a Capitalization Adjustment, the Board will appropriately and proportionately adjust: (i) the class(es) and maximum number of securities subject to the Plan pursuant to Section 3(a), and (ii) the class(es) and number of securities and price per share subject to outstanding Awards. The Board will make such adjustments, and its determination will be final, binding and conclusive.

 

(b) Dissolution or Liquidation. Except as otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, in the event of a dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, all outstanding Awards (other than Awards consisting of vested and outstanding Common Shares not subject to a forfeiture condition or the Corporation’s right of repurchase) will terminate immediately prior to the completion of such dissolution or liquidation, and the Common Shares subject to the Corporation’s repurchase rights or subject to a forfeiture condition may be repurchased or reacquired by the Corporation notwithstanding the fact that the holder of such Award is providing Continuous Service, provided, however, that the Board may, in its sole discretion, cause some or all Awards to become fully vested, exercisable and/or no longer subject to repurchase or forfeiture (to the extent such Awards have not previously expired or terminated) before the dissolution or liquidation is completed but contingent on its completion.

 

- 11 -

 

 

(c) Corporate Transaction. The following provisions will apply to Awards in the event of a Corporate Transaction unless otherwise provided in the instrument evidencing the Award or any other written agreement between the Corporation or any Affiliate and the Participant or unless otherwise expressly provided by the Board at the time of grant of an Award. In the event of a Corporate Transaction, then, notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Board may take one or more of the following actions with respect to Awards, contingent upon the closing or completion of the Corporate Transaction:

 

(i) arrange for the surviving corporation or acquiring corporation (or the surviving or acquiring corporation’s parent company) to assume or continue the Award or to substitute a similar stock award for the Award (including, but not limited to, an award to acquire the same consideration paid to the shareholders of the Corporation pursuant to the Corporate Transaction);

 

(ii) arrange for the assignment of any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by the Corporation in respect of Common Shares issued pursuant to the Award to the surviving corporation or acquiring corporation (or the surviving or acquiring corporation’s parent company);

 

(iii) accelerate the vesting, in whole or in part, of the Award (and, if applicable, the time at which the Award may be exercised) to a date prior to the effective time of such Corporate Transaction as the Board determines (or, if the Board does not determine such a date, to the date that is five days prior to the effective date of the Corporate Transaction), with such Award terminating if not exercised (if applicable) at or prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction; provided, however, that the Board may require Participants to complete and deliver to the Corporation a notice of exercise before the effective date of a Corporate Transaction, which exercise is contingent upon the effectiveness of such Corporate Transaction;

 

(iv) arrange for the lapse, in whole or in part, of any reacquisition or repurchase rights held by the Corporation with respect to the Award;

 

(v) cancel or arrange for the cancellation of the Award, to the extent not vested or not exercised prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction, in exchange for such cash consideration (including no consideration) as the Board, in its sole discretion, may consider appropriate; and

 

(vi) make a payment, in such form as may be determined by the Board equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the value of the property the Participant would have received upon the exercise of the Award immediately prior to the effective time of the Corporate Transaction, over (B) any exercise price payable by such holder in connection with such exercise. For clarity, this payment may be zero ($0) if the value of the property is equal to or less than the exercise price. Payments under this provision may be delayed to the same extent that payment of consideration to the holders of the Corporation’s Common Shares in connection with the Corporate Transaction is delayed as a result of escrows, earn outs, holdbacks or any other contingencies.

 

The Board need not take the same action or actions with respect to all Awards or portions thereof or with respect to all Participants. The Board may take different actions with respect to the vested and unvested portions of an Award.

 

(d) Change in Control. An Award may be subject to additional acceleration of vesting and exercisability upon or after a Change in Control as may be provided in the Award Agreement for such Award or as may be provided in any other written agreement between the Corporation or any Affiliate and the Participant, but in the absence of such provision, no such acceleration will occur.

No Awards may be granted under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated.

 

(b) No Impairment of Rights. Suspension or termination of the Plan will not impair rights and obligations under any Award granted while the Plan is in effect except with the written consent of the affected Participant or as otherwise permitted in the Plan.

 

11. ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHTS.

 

Any and all rights under Awards and Award Agreements shall not be assignable, transferable or negotiable (whether by operation of law or otherwise) by the Participant and may not be assigned or transferred other than by transmission by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

In addition, to the extent required for exemption from or compliance with Section 409A of the Code, the determination of whether there has been a termination of Continuous Service will be made, and such term will be construed, in a manner that is consistent with the definition of “separation from service” as defined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(h) (without regard to any alternative definition thereunder).

EX1A-6 MAT CTRCT 5 ea029675801ex6-22.htm FORM OF CONSENT TO ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON EXERCISE OF WARRANTS

Exhibit 6.22

 

___________________, 2022

 

Modern Mining Technology Corp. (the “Issuer”)

1500-1055 West Georgia Street

Vancouver, BC V6E 4N7

 

To: The Board of Directors of the Issuer

 

From: the undersigned subscriber (the “Subscriber”)

 

RE:Consent to Additional Restrictions on Exercise of Warrants

 

The Subscriber is the registered owner of ________________ common share purchase warrants of the Issuer (each, a “Warrant” and collectively, the “Warrants”) which, when exercised at an exercise price of $0.25 per Warrant in accordance with its terms, entitle the holder to acquire one common share in the capital of the Issuer (each, a “Share” and collectively, the “Shares”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meaning ascribed thereto in the underlying subscription agreement dated July 28, 2021 entered into between the Subscriber and the Issuer. The Subscriber hereby consents to the following provision and/or associated restrictive legend to be added to the certificate evidencing the Warrants:

 

Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the rights represented by this Warrant Certificate will not be exercisable by the Subscriber, in whole or in part, and the Issuer will not give effect to any such exercise, if, after giving effect to such exercise, the Subscriber (together with the Subscriber’s affiliates, and any other persons acting as a group together with the Subscriber or any of the Subscriber’s affiliates (such persons, the “Attribution Parties”)) who would in the aggregate beneficially own, or exercise control or direction over that number of voting securities of the Issuer (the “Voting Securities”) which is 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) or greater of the total issued and outstanding Voting Securities, immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of Voting Securities beneficially owned by the Subscriber and the Attribution Parties will include the number of Voting Securities held by the Subscriber and all of the Attribution Parties plus the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude the number of Shares which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Subscriber or any of the Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Issuer (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred shares or warrants) beneficially owned by the Subscriber subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Paragraph. For purposes of this Paragraph, beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”). For purposes of determining the number of outstanding Shares the Subscriber may acquire upon the exercise of this Warrant without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Subscriber may rely on the number of outstanding Voting Securities as reflected in (x) the Issuer’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Issuer or (3) any other written notice by the Issuer or the Issuer’s transfer agent setting forth the number of Voting Securities outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Voting Securities Number”). If the Issuer receives a Warrant Exercise Form from the Subscriber at a time when the actual number of outstanding Voting Securities of the Issuer is less than the Reported Outstanding Voting Securities Number, the Issuer shall notify the Subscriber in writing of the number of Voting Securities of the Issuer then outstanding and, to the extent that such Warrant Exercise Form would otherwise cause the Subscriber’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Paragraph, to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Subscriber must notify the Issuer of a reduced number of Warrant Shares to be purchased pursuant to such Warrant Exercise Form (the number of shares by which such purchase is reduced, the “Reduction Shares”). For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Subscriber, the Issuer shall within one (1) business day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to the Subscriber the number of Voting Securities then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Voting Securities shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Issuer, including this Warrant, by the Subscriber and any of its affiliates since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Voting Securities Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of Shares to the Subscriber upon exercise of this Warrant results in the Subscriber and its affiliates being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding Shares (as determined under Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Subscriber’s and its affiliates’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Subscriber shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Issuer, the Subscriber may from time to time increase or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61st) day after such notice is delivered to the Issuer and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Subscriber and its affiliates. For purposes of clarity, the Shares issuable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Subscriber for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the 1934 Act. No prior inability to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this Paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this Paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability. The provisions of this Paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Paragraph to the extent necessary to correct this Paragraph or any portion of this Paragraph which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Paragraph or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this Paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor Subscriber of this Warrant.

Attn:Board of Directors

 

Dear Sirs:

 

Re:Modern Mining Technology Corp.

 

We have acted as counsel to Modern Mining Technology Corp., a British Columbia corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the Company’s filing of the Post-Qualification Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Offering Statement on Form 1-A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on the date hereof (the “PQA”), which amends the Offering Circular, dated March 19, 2026 (as so amended, the “Offering Circular”), contained in the Offering Statement on Form 1-A qualified by the SEC on March 19, 2026, pursuant to Regulation A under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). The PQA contemplates the offering (the “Offering”) for sale of up to a maximum of 9,411,764 common shares (the “Common Shares”) of the Company to raise an aggregate total of up to US$39,999,997 at a subscription price of US$4.25 per Common Share.

 

The Company has engaged Digital Offering, LLC, a broker-dealer registered with the SEC and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“Digital Offering”), to act as lead selling agent with respect to the Offering in the United States, and Research Capital Corporation, a Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization member (“RCC”), to act as the selling agent with respect to the Offering solely in certain Provinces of Canada. As compensation for the services of Digital Offering and RCC, the Company has agreed, pursuant to an engagement letter agreement between the Company and Digital Offering dated September 3, 2025 (the “DO Engagement Agreement”), and pursuant to an engagement letter agreement between the Company and RCC dated February 4, 2026 (the “RCC Engagement Agreement”), to pay a cash commission of 7.0% to (i) Digital Offering on sales of the Common Shares in the Offering in jurisdictions other than Canada, and (ii) RCC on sales of the Common Shares in the Offering in Canada. In addition, pursuant to the DO Engagement Agreement and the RCC Engagement Agreement, the Company has agreed to issue warrants (each, an “Agent Warrant”) to Digital Offering for Common Shares sold in the United States and to RCC for Common Shares sold in Canada, in each case equal in number to two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the total number of Common Shares sold, subject to an aggregate cap of 235,294 Agent Warrants. Each Agent Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share (each, an “Agent Warrant Share”) at an exercise price of US$5.3125 per Agent Warrant Share until March 19, 2031.

Administration

 

2.1 This Recovery Policy will be administered by the Compensation Committee which will be empowered to, with consideration of applicable Securities Laws,

 

(a)interpret and administer this Recovery Policy;

Part 3
SCOPE AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS RECOVERY POLICY

 

Effective Period

 

3.1 This Recovery Policy will be applied to all Incentive Based Compensation that is Received by an Executive Officer on or after the Effective Date.

 

Scope of Executive Officers Subject to Recovery Policy

 

3.2 The Compensation Committee will determine from time-to-time the individuals that are deemed to be subject to the Recovery Policy by virtue of being considered an Executive Officer of the Company under Rule 10D-1.

 

Scope of Accounting Restatements Subject to Recovery Policy

 

3.3 The Accounting Restatements that will trigger the obligation to recover Erroneously Awarded Incentive-Based Compensation will include any restatement of any of the financial statements of the Company filed with the SEC under the Exchange Act to correct an error in previously issued financial statements that is material to the previously issued financial statements, or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current period. For clarity, Accounting Restatements include for the purposes of this Recovery Policy both:

 

(a)big “R” restatements, being restatements to correct an error material to previously issued financial statements, and

 

(b)little “r” restatements, being restatements to correct errors that were not material to those previously issued financial statements, but would result in a material misstatement if (i) the errors were left uncorrected in the current report or (ii) the error correction was recognized in the current period.

 

Determination of When Incentive-Based Compensation is Received

 

3.4 Incentive-Based Compensation will be deemed Received in the fiscal period during which the Financial Reporting Measure specified in the Incentive-Based Compensation award was attained, even if the payment or grant occurs after the end of that period.

 

- 4 -

 

 

Part 4
RECOVERY OF ERRONEOUSLY AWARDED INCENTIVE-BASED COMPENSATION

 

Recovery

 

4.1 In that event that the Company is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement, the Company will reasonably promptly take action to recover the amount of any Erroneously Awarded Incentive-Based Compensation that has been Received by each applicable Executive Officer:

 

(a)after beginning services as an Executive Officer;

 

(b)who served as Executive Officer at any time during the performance period for that Incentive-Based Compensation;

 

(c)while the Company has a class of securities listed on NYSE American (or another national securities exchange in the United States); and

 

(d)during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date on which the Company was required to prepare the Accounting Statement, as this three year period is determined under Section 4.4 below.

 

4.2 Recovery will be required on a “no fault” basis, without regard to whether an Executive Officer engaged in any misconduct or whether the Executive Officer was responsible for the erroneous financial statements that led to the Accounting Restatement.

 

Trigger for Recovery of Erroneously Award Compensation

 

4.3 The date on which the Company is deemed to be required to prepare an Accounting Statement for the purposes of determining the Recovery Period under Section 4.1 will be the earlier to occur of:

 

(a)the date that the Board or a committee of the Board concludes, or reasonably should have concluded that the Company, is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement, or

 

(b)the date that a court, regulator or other legally authorized body directs the Company to prepare an Accounting Restatement.

 

Determination of Recovery Period

 

4.4 The recovery period for the determination of Erroneously Awarded Incentive-Based Compensation (the “Recovery Period”) will determined as the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date that the Company is required to prepare an Accounting Restatement, as that date is determined under Section 4.3. In the event of a change in the financial year of the Company, the Recovery Period will also include any transition period that results from a change in the Company’s fiscal year within or immediately following those three completed fiscal years, provided that a transition period between the last day of the Company’s previous fiscal year end and the first day of its new fiscal year that comprises a period of nine to 12 months would be deemed a completed fiscal year.

 

- 5 -

 

 

Scope of Incentive Based Compensation Subject to Recovery

 

4.5 Recovery will be made against each current and former Executive Officer who has Received Incentive-Based Compensation during the three year Recovery Period to the extent that such Incentive-Based Compensation is determined to be Erroneously Awarded Incentive-Based Compensation. Recovery of Incentive-Based Compensation received while an individual was serving in a non-executive capacity prior to becoming an Executive Officer is not subject to this Recovery Policy and recovery will not be required. An award of incentive-based compensation granted to an individual before the individual becomes an Executive Officer will be subject to this Recovery Policy, so long as the Incentive-Based Compensation was received by the individual at any time during the performance period after beginning service as an Executive Officer.

 

Determination of Amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation

 

4.6 The amount of any Erroneously Awarded Incentive-Based Compensation to be recovered under Section 4.1 will be determined as follows for each applicable Executive Officer:

 

(a)the amount of Incentive-Based Compensation that has been Received by the Executive Officer during the Recovery Period to which this Recovery Policy applies, less

 

(b)the amount of the Incentive-Based Compensation that would have been received in respect of the Recovery Period had the Incentive-Based Compensation been determined based on the restated amount.

 

4.7 Erroneously Awarded Incentive-Based Compensation will include any Incentive-Based Compensation that was based on stock price or TSR to the extent that the Incentive-Based Compensation was inaccurate as a result of the Accounting Restatement. For Incentive-Based Compensation based on stock price or TSR, where the amount of Erroneously Awarded Incentive-Based Compensation is not subject to mathematical recalculation directly from the information in the Accounting Restatement:

 

(a)the amount must be based on a reasonable estimate of the effect of the Accounting Restatement on the stock price or TSR upon which the Incentive-Based Compensation was received, and

 

(b)the amount of the Incentive-Based Compensation that would have been received in respect of the Recovery Period had the Incentive-Based Compensation been determined based on the restated amount.

 

4.8 The Compensation Committee shall promptly notify each Executive Officer with a written notice containing the amount of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation and a demand for repayment or return of such compensation.

 

4.9 The amount of any Erroneously Awarded Incentive-Based Compensation will be computed without regard to any taxes paid by the Executive Officer.

 

4.10 To the extent that the Executive Officer has already reimbursed the Company for any Erroneously Awarded Compensation Received under any duplicative recovery obligations established by the Company or applicable law, including Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, it shall be appropriate for any such reimbursed amount to be credited to the amount of Erroneously Awarded Compensation that is subject to recovery under this Recovery Policy.

 

4.11 Notwithstanding anything in this Recovery Policy, in no event will the Company be required to award any Executive Officer an additional payment or other compensation if the Accounting Restatement would have resulted in the grant, payment or vesting of Incentive-Based Compensation that is greater than the Incentive-Based Compensation actually received by the affected Executive Officer. The recovery of Erroneously Awarded Incentive-Based Compensation is not dependent on if or when the restatement is filed.

 

- 6 -

 

 

Part 5
REPORTING

 

Reporting of Erroneously Award Compensation

 

5.1 In the event of an Accounting Restatement pursuant to which the Compensation Committee has considered whether recovery of any Erroneously Awarded Incentive-Based Compensation is required, the Compensation Committee will prepare a report to management of the Company detailing the information required to be reported by the Company with respect to such Accounting Restatement on the Form 10-K or other form of annual report to be filed by the Company under the Exchange Act for the fiscal year in which the Accounting Restatement occurred and in any other filing required to be made by the Company under Securities Laws.

 

Documentation

 

5.2 The Compensation Committee will maintain documentation as to the determination of the amount of any Erroneously Awarded Incentive-Based Compensation, including any reasonable estimates made during the calculation process, and any efforts undertaken to recover Erroneously Awarded Incentive-Based Compensation. The Company will provide this information to NYSE American upon its request.

 

Documentation

 

5.3 Without limiting the above, the Company will comply will all disclosure, documentation and records requirements relating to this Recovery Policy under Section 10D of the Exchange Act, the NYSE American Company Guide and the filings required to be made by the Company under the Exchange Act.

 

Part 6
ENFORCEMENT OF RECOVERY

 

Requirement to Recover

 

6.1 Upon a determination by the Compensation Committee that the Company is obligated to recover Erroneously Awarded Incentive-Based Compensation under Section 4.1, the Company will take steps to recover such Erroneously Awarded Incentive-Based Compensation other than in circumstances where each of (a) and (b) below apply:

 

(a)one of the following circumstances exists:

 

(i)the direct expense paid to a third party to assist in enforcing this Recovery Policy would exceed the amount to be recovered, provided that before concluding that it would be impracticable to recover any amount of Erroneously Awarded Incentive-Based Compensation based on expense of enforcement, the Company has made a reasonable attempt to recover such Erroneously Awarded Incentive-Based Compensation and documented such reasonable attempt(s) to recover (which documentation will be provided to NYSE American at the request of NYSE American); or

 

(ii)recovery would likely cause an otherwise tax-qualified retirement plan, under which benefits are broadly available to employees of the registrant, to fail to meet the requirements of 26 U.S.C. 401(a)(13) or 26 U.S.C. 411(a) and regulations thereunder; and

 

(b)the Compensation Committee, or a majority of the independent directors of the Board, has made a determination that recovery would be impracticable.

 

- 7 -

 

 

Deferred Payment Plans

 

6.2 The Compensation Committee may consider the establishment of a deferred payment where recovery is required from an Executive Officer and where the deferred payment plan allows the Executive Officer to repay the Erroneously Awarded Incentive-Based Compensation as soon as possible without unreasonable economic hardship to the Executive Officer, depending on the facts and circumstances; provided that any such deferred payment plan shall be narrowly tailored to the Erroneously Awarded Incentive-Based Compensation being recovered so as not to constitute a personal loan to the Executive Officer that is prohibited by Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act.

 

Recovery of Costs

 

6.3 If an Executive Officer fails to repay all Erroneously Awarded Incentive-Based Compensation when due, the Company will take all actions reasonable and appropriate to recover the Erroneously Awarded Incentive-Based Compensation from the Executive Officer, and in that case the Executive Officer will be required to reimburse the Company for all reasonable expenses incurred in recovering the Erroneously Awarded Incentive-Based Compensation from the Executive Officer.

 

Other Legal Remedies

 

6.4 Any right of recovery under this Recovery Policy is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies or rights of recovery that may be available to the Company under applicable law, regulation or rule, or under the terms of any similar policy or agreement in any employment agreement, offer letter, compensation plan, equity award agreement, or similar agreement and any other legal remedies available to the Company.

 

6.5 This Recovery Policy does not preclude the Company from taking any other action to enforce an Executive Officer’s obligations to the Company or limit any other remedies that the Company may have available to it and any other actions that the Company may take, including termination of employment, institution of civil proceedings, or reporting of any misconduct to appropriate government authorities.

 

- 8 -

 

 

Part 7
PROHIBITION ON INDEMNIFICATION

 

Prohibition on Indemnification

 

7.1 The Company shall not be permitted to indemnify or insure any Executive Officer against (i) the loss of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation that is repaid, returned or recovered pursuant to the terms of this Policy, or (ii) any claims relating to the Company’s enforcement of its rights under this Recovery Policy. Further, the Company shall not enter into any agreement that exempts any Incentive-based Compensation that is granted, paid or awarded to an Executive Officer from the application of this Recovery Policy or that waives the Company’s right to recovery of any Erroneously Awarded Compensation, and this Recovery Policy shall supersede any such agreement (whether entered into before, on or after the Effective Date of this Recovery Policy).

 

Insurance

 

7.2 The Company will not purchase or pay or reimburse any Executive Officer for any insurance policy to cover losses incurred by any Executive Officer under this Recovery Policy.

 

Other Recovery Rights

 

7.3 This Recovery Policy shall be binding and enforceable against all Executive Officers and, to the extent required by applicable law or guidance from the SEC or NYSE American, their beneficiaries, heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives. The Compensation Committee intends that this Policy will be applied to the fullest extent required by applicable law. Any employment agreement, equity award agreement, compensatory plan or any other agreement or arrangement with an Executive Officer shall be deemed to include, as a condition to the grant of any benefit thereunder, an agreement by the Executive Officer to abide by the terms of this Recovery Policy. Any right of recovery under this Recovery Policy is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies or rights of recovery that may be available to the Company under applicable law, regulation or rule or pursuant to the terms of any policy of the Company or any provision in any employment agreement, equity award agreement, compensatory plan, agreement or other arrangement.

 

- 9 -

 

 

Part 8
AUTHORITY OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

 

Engagement of Professional Advisors

 

8.1 In addition to any authority provided under its charter, the Compensation Committee will have the authority to engage and retain independent legal counsel, independent accounting advisors and any outside professional advisor that it determines necessary to carry out its duties, at the expense of the Company, without the Board’s approval and at any time, and has the authority to determine any such advisor’s fees and other retention terms.

 

Oversight

 

8.2 In the event that the Company is required to recover any Erroneously Awarded Incentive-Based Compensation under this Recovery Policy, such recovery efforts will be undertaken with the supervision of the office of the Chief Financial Officer under oversight of the Compensation Committee, provided that Compensation Committee will directly supervise such efforts in the event of that the Chief Financial Officer is an Executive Officer who is subject to recovery.

 

Review

 

8.3 The Compensation Committee will periodically review legislative developments, regulatory initiatives, and similar matters relating to Securities Laws that may have an impact on this Recovery Policy, and report to the Board any recommendations it may have concerning the Recovery Policy.
