In connection with the settlement, the Company and Mr. Serov entered into a technology assignment agreement (the "Technology Assignment Agreement"), pursuant to which Mr. Serov has irrevocably assigned to the Company all of his right, title and interest in and to certain patents, patent applications and related intellectual property associated with the Company's products and business, including an issued U.S. patent and related international applications.

As part of the settlement, an aggregate of 1,777,778 common shares of the Company previously issued to Serov Holdings Inc. will be cancelled and returned to treasury. No cash consideration was paid by the Company in connection with the Settlement Agreement or the Technology Assignment Agreement.

The Settlement Agreement also includes customary confidentiality and non-disparagement provisions, as well as a non-competition covenant in favour of the Company covering key jurisdictions in which it operates, subject to customary exceptions.
