(“NorthStar”) pursuant to which, among other things, NorthStar will complete a “reverse takeover” of the Company (the “Proposed Transaction“) following which, the resulting company (the “Resulting Issuer“) will operate the business of NorthStar., NorthStar has completed a first closing (the “First Closing”) of its offering (the “Offering”) of up to 30,000,000 subscription receipts (the “Subscription Receipts”) by issuing 8,040,000 Subscription Receipts at a price of $0.50 per Subscription Receipt (the “Offering Price”) for gross proceeds of $4,020,000.

The Offering remains open and a further closing is anticipated in September.

The Offering was led by Canaccord Genuity Corp. and Paradigm Capital Inc. (the “Co-Lead Agents”) along with Eight Capital Inc., Cormark Securities Inc. and Echelon Capital Markets (collectively, the “Agents”).

Upon the satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions customary for this type of transaction (the “Escrow Release Conditions”), each Subscription Receipt will, pursuant to its terms and pursuant to the Proposed Transaction, result in the holder thereof being issued, for no additional consideration and without any further action by its holder, one post-consolidation (following a consolidation of Baden’s outstanding common shares on a 3.333333:1 basis) common share of the Resulting Issuer (a “Resulting Issuer Share”). The gross proceeds of the Offering (less all of the Agents’ expenses incurred before the First Closing) will be held in escrow by Odyssey Trust Company (the “Escrow Agent”) and invested pursuant to the terms of a subscription receipt agreement. If the Escrow Release Conditions are not satisfied prior to 5:00 p.m. (EST) on January 6, 2023 (the “Escrow Deadline”), the Escrow Agent will return to holders of Subscription Receipts an amount equal to the aggregate Offering Price of the Subscription Receipts held by them and their pro rata portion of any interest earned thereon. The net proceeds from the Offering are intended to be used for marketing and other costs of developing the business of NorthStar.

In connection with the Offering, the Agents received: (i) a cash commission of $241,200 (the “Cash Commission“), which will be payable upon the satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions, and (ii) broker warrants (the “NorthStar Broker Warrants“) of NorthStar that will, upon conversion into broker warrants of the Resulting Issuer pursuant to the Proposed Transaction, entitle the holder to acquire at the Offering Price 482,400 Resulting Issuer Shares at any time on or prior to the second anniversary of the closing date of the Proposed Transaction.
