The Special Warrants may be transferred by Avenue to arm's length third parties subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange in which case they will be deemed to have been exercised into the underlying Shares by the transferee of such Special Warrants on the date that the transferee acquired the Special Warrants.

Following completion of the acquisition of the Shares and Special Warrants (and assuming the exercise thereof) acquired by Avenue represent approximately 35% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Mint on a partially-diluted basis and approximately 28% of the issued and outstanding common shares on a fully diluted basis.

The Shares and Special Warrants were acquired by Mint in the ordinary course of business in exchange for the satisfaction of an aggregate of $4,233,525 in principal and accrued interest owing to Avenue under the secured credit facility between Mint and Avenue.
