Instructions for Completing
Form 45-106F16
Notice of Use of Proceeds

1.           The amount for Line (A) is taken from Line (E) in the prior year's Notice of Use of Proceeds (Notice), if applicable. If a Notice was not required in the prior year, then the amount for Line (A) is $nil.

2.           The amount for Line (B) is the aggregate gross proceeds raised in all jurisdictions in Canada under section 2.9 [Offering memorandum] of National Instrument 45-106 (the OM exemption) during the most recently completed financial year. If an issuer raised funds in reliance on other prospectus exemptions concurrently with the OM exemption during the year and it is impractical to separately track proceeds raised only under the OM exemption, the issuer can provide the disclosure outlined in the table for the aggregate gross proceeds raised under all prospectus exemptions during the most recently completed financial year.

3.           If Line (C) is $nil, then the issuer does not have an obligation to file, deliver or make reasonably available the Notice for that financial year.

4.           In Section 2 of the table, the issuer must provide a breakdown in reasonable detail of the uses of the aggregate gross proceeds during the most recently completed financial year. Issuers should ensure that the disclosure is specific enough and provides sufficient detail for an investor to understand how the proceeds have been used.

5.           Both direct and indirect payments to related parties must be disclosed. An example of an indirect payment could include repayment of a debt that was incurred for a prior payment to a related party.

6.           Proceeds invested on a temporary basis would not generally be considered to have been used.
