The Debenture matures twelve (12) months from the date of the closing of the Transaction and bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum.

Prior to the Transaction, the Acquiror directly and indirectly owned and controlled 6,242,938 Shares, which represented 8.15% of the issued and outstanding Shares as of December 27, 2018, based on 76,598,286 Shares issued and outstanding as of such date.
