The SEC requires all Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Section 16(a) ownership reports (Forms 3, 4, and 5) to be created and submitted via the OnlineForms web site located at https://www.onlineforms.edgarfiling.sec.gov/. This web site was built to enable insiders to file their reports directly. Newsfile Corp. is also available to assist filers prepare, proof, and file Forms 3, 4, and 5. Call us at 604-609-0244 for more information.

If you are required to file Section 16 reports, there are several items that must be considered:

• Every entity filing Section 16 reports (i.e. a director, insider, etc) needs to be registered with the SEC. This can be accomplished by completing and submitting a Form ID to the SEC for each entity. Upon successful registration, the SEC will provide the information required to access the OnlineForms web site and submit Section 16 reports. This information includes a CIK, CCC, and Password. Please note:

• Only one CIK is required per individual, i.e. the individual only needs to submit one Form ID. If a director needs to submit Section 16 reports for involvement in multiple companies, the same CIK can be used.

• It might take several days to receive the required information - CIK, CCC, and Password - from the SEC.

• The CIK used to log into the OnlineForms web site will be marked as the entity responsible for filing any reports during that session. Should there be any questions or concerns with the filing of a report, the SEC may contact this entity. If you are filing Section 16 reports on behalf of multiple individuals, keep this in mind.
