The Offering will be available to accredited investors and to Ivrnet’s existing shareholders resident in Canada (except Newfoundland and Labrador). All Offered Shares to be issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to a statutory four month hold period. The Offering is being made pursuant to the grant of a discretionary waiver from the TSX Venture Exchange, pursuant to its bulletin dated April 7, 2014, of the TSXV’s minimum $0.05 pricing requirement.

Minimum Offering
The minimum amount to be raised pursuant to the Offering is $507,000. Ivrnet has received a non-binding verbal commitment from one investor for $375,000 conditional on the concurrent subscription for $132,000 from certain insiders of the Company [(i) David Snell, the largest shareholder of the Company, a current Director and the former President and CEO ($66,000); (ii) Andrew Watts, the current President and CEO and a Director ($36,000); and (iii) Scott Pickard, the current Chairman of the Board ($30,000)]. If the minimum proceeds of $507,000 are raised, it is anticipated that the proceeds will be used to pay certain trade payables. The proceeds will not be used to repay the debt from wages and other compensation owed to the subscribing insiders.
The aforementioned participation by insiders in the Offering will be exempt from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (“MI 61-101”) by virtue of the exemptions contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in that the fair market value of the Offered Shares to be issued to such insiders does not exceed 25% of Ivrnet’s pre-transaction market capitalization.
Maximum Offering
The maximum amount to be raised pursuant to the Offering is $1,000,000. Ivrnet will complete a first closing of the Offering as soon as subscriptions for the minimum Offering of $507,000 (20,280,000 Offered Shares) are received. Ivrnet will seek to raise the balance of the Offering of $493,000 (19,720,000 Offered Shares) from accredited investors and from existing shareholders resident in Canada (except Newfoundland and Labrador). If the maximum proceeds of $1,000,000 are raised, it is anticipated that the net proceeds will be used approximately as follows: (i) $744,000 to pay certain trade payables and (ii) $256,000 for general working capital. The proceeds will not be used to repay the debt from wages and other compensation owed to the subscribing insiders.
Existing Shareholder OfferingThe Offering will be open to participation by existing shareholders (that portion of the Offering referred to herein as the “Existing Shareholder Offering”) resident in Canada (except Newfoundland and Labrador) as of the record date of September 12, 2019 (the “Record Date”) until October 11, 2019 (the “Expiry Date”).
There is no minimum amount that will be required to be raised pursuant to the Existing Shareholder Offering portion of the Offering. However, after the minimum Offering is successfully completed, for the balance of the Offering priority will be given to existing shareholders such that all existing shareholder subscriptions will be accepted (subject to an over subscription resulting from existing shareholders alone in which case subscriptions from existing shareholders will be accepted on a “first come, first served” basis (the existing shareholder subscribers who are first to submit a completed subscription agreement and pay the corresponding subscription proceeds will be accepted up until the earlier of the Expiry Date and the date that the maximum amount of the Offering is reached). If the balance of the Offering is not subscribed for by existing shareholders by the Expiry Date, subscriptions from other investors will be accepted until the maximum Offering is achieved.
Shareholders interested in participating in the Existing Shareholder Offering should contact, or have their registered broker contact, Jason Myers, Chief Financial Officer of Ivrnet, at j.myers@ivrnet.com to obtain a copy of the subscription agreement for the subscription of Offered Shares by existing shareholders. Requests should be received by no later than October 4, 2019 so that subscription agreements can be signed and funds can be received by Ivrnet by no later than October 9, 2019.
In the existing shareholder subscription agreements, subscribers will be required to represent that they held common shares of Ivrnet on the Record Date and will continue to hold common shares of Ivrnet on closing, indicate the total number of Offered Shares they wish to subscribe for at the price of $0.02 per Offered Share and provide funds (certified cheque or wire transfer) for the purchase of the Offered Shares.
The Existing Shareholder Offering is being made under rules adopted by the various securities commissions in Canada (except in Newfoundland and Labrador) relating to distributions to existing security holders, as well as under other applicable exemptions without issuing a prospectus. The existing shareholder exemption limits a shareholder to a maximum investment of $15,000 in a 12-month period for all investments made under this exemption unless the shareholder has obtained advice regarding the suitability of the investment from a person registered as an investment dealer, in which case the investment can exceed $15,000. However, if an existing shareholder is also an accredited investor, the existing shareholder can purchase Offered Shares under the accredited investor exemption in applicable Canadian securities legislation and thereunder not be subject to an investment limit.
Although the Existing Shareholder Offering is not being offered pro rata, all shareholders of Ivrnet effective as of the Record Date will be treated equally and have an equal opportunity to participate in the Existing Shareholder Offering. However, the Company reserves the right not to accept subscription amounts of less than $1,000 (50,000 Offered Shares) to avoid disproportionate administrative costs.
