Before its investment, MSGSV did not hold any securities of Xtract One. As a result of its investment for total gross proceeds of C$8.4 million, MSGSV holds 20,000,000 Common Shares and 20,000,000 Warrants, representing approximately 10.92% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares on a non-diluted basis and 19.69% on a partially diluted basis.

In connection with its investment, MSGSV entered into an investor rights agreement with Xtract One (the “Investor Rights Agreement”) under the terms of which MSGSV has been granted the right to appoint an observer to the board of directors of Xtract One.

Investor Rights Agreement

Under the Investor Rights Agreement, subject to certain limitations set forth therein, MSGSV is also entitled to

(a) certain “demand” registration rights that will allow MSGSV to request that Xtract One:

• qualify for resale under Canadian securities laws and/or,
• register for resale under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, any Common Shares acquired by MSGSV as a result of its investment or upon exercise of the Warrants (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”); and,

(b) certain “piggyback” registration rights that will allow MSGSV to include the Registrable Securities in any public offering of equity securities initiated by Xtract One or another shareholder having registration rights. 

MSGSV acquired ownership of the Common Shares and Warrants for investment purposes and may, from time to time, acquire additional securities of Xtract One, dispose of some or all of the securities of Xtract One that it holds or continue to hold the Common Shares, and Warrants.
