These warrants include an embedded derivative as they are exercisable in U.S. dollars and, therefore, fail the “fixed for fixed” requirements prescribed in IAS 32 Financial Instruments: presentation. As a result, they are classified as a liability and measured at fair value. Their value was estimated at $39.8 million on the issue date using the Black-Scholes model and they are presented as a non-current liability on the consolidated statement of financial position. The liability is revalued at its estimated fair value using the Black-Scholes model at the end of each reporting period, and the variation in the fair value is recognized on the consolidated statements of loss (Note 19). All securities issued under the Non-brokered Private Placement were subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day from the closing date.

Issuance costs allocated to common shares amounted to $2.8 million. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded in other income in the consolidated statement of loss $1 million of issuance costs allocated to the warrants.
