(“Lumina”), a company with a head office at 410 – 625 Howe Street, Vancouver BC V6C 2T6, which amended the original credit agreement between the parties dated July 5, 2022 (the “Original Agreement”) to, among other things, increase the maximum principal amount that Lumina could borrow pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement to $15,000,000 (the “Maximum Amount”), extend the maturity date under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and, in consideration therefor, Lumina granted Mr. Beaty the right to convert (the “Conversion Right”) the aggregate principal amount of debt outstanding under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Convertible Debt”), together with accrued interest of $323,534.27 under the Original Agreement (the “Accrued Interest”), into common shares in the authorized share structure of Lumina (“Common Shares”) at a conversion price of C$0.42 per Common Share (the “Conversion Price”).

As at December 15, 2022, the principal amount of the Convertible Debt outstanding pursuant to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is $12,000,000 and, together with the Accrued Interest, the aggregate amount of the Convertible Debt is $12,323,534.27.

The 75,848,082 Common Shares represented approximately 20.15% of the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares prior to the grant of the Conversion Right. If all of the Warrants and Options were exercised, Mr. Beaty would have owned, directly or indirectly, or exercised control or direction over, approximately 21.09% of issued and outstanding Common Shares, on a partially diluted basis, prior to the Conversion Right.

If all of Mr. Beaty’s 1,483,334 Options and 3,000,000 Warrants are exercised, and all of the Convertible Debt is converted into 29,341,748 Common Shares at the Conversion Price, Mr. Beaty would own, directly or indirectly, or exercise control or direction over, approximately 26.74% of the total number of issued and outstanding Common Shares on a partially-diluted basis.
