Update on Recent Equity Offering

As previously announced by the Company on November 24, 2021, Southern recently completed an equity financing raising combined gross proceeds of US$10.1 million. Both the prospectus offering that took place in Canada (the "Canadian Offering"), and the private placement that took place in the U.K. (the "UK Placing") involved the assistance of agents. The aggregate compensation paid to agents in connection with the Canadian Offering and the UK Placing was equal to C$324,504.00 and £106,532.35, respectively.

Due to the participation of certain directors, officers and other insiders of Southern, who are related parties of the Company pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), the UK Placing constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of MI 61-101. However, Southern has determined that the UK Placing is exempt from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 on the basis that the fair market value of the UK Placing to related parties did not exceed 25% of the market capitalization for the Company, in accordance with Sections 5.5 and 5.7 of MI 61-101.
