The intent of the parties being that all common shares of eXeBlock prior to the closing of the Transaction will be exchanged for common shares of 1040433 on the basis of two 1040433 shares for each eXeBlock share. eXeBlock currently has 19,050,000 shares outstanding with no warrants or options. The Company will issue 38,100,000 common shares to the shareholders of eXeBlock, representing approximately 87.2% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company after completion of the Acquisition.

The investment will be led by the Toronto-based PowerOne Capital Group and include Halifax-based Numus Capital for up to 10,000,000 common shares of eXeBlock at a price of $0.35, to raise aggregate gross proceeds of up to $3,500,000 (the "Private Placement"). The net proceeds from the Private Placement will be used by eXeBlock to fund its software development. In connection with the Private Placement, eXeBlock will pay to arm's length finders a finder's fee comprised of cash fee qual to 7.5% of funds related to investments in eXeBlock and warrants representing 7.5% of the number of shares issued as introduced by finders in the Private Placement of eXeBlock.
