Leli Holland B.V. (“Leli”)

In September 2021, the Company entered into an option agreement whereby the Company received the irrevocable right to acquire an 80% ownership interest (the “Option Agreement”) in Netherlands-based Leli Holland B.V. (“Leli”) upon payment of EUR50,000 (the “Option”). The Option Agreement allows the Company to acquire 80% of Leli’s shares for EUR3,950,000, of which EUR950,000 is due and payable to Leli’s shareholders upon the exercise of the Option and the remainder due in three equal installments subject to the achievement of certain project development milestones. The option is exercisable at the sole discretion of the Company for a period of 5 years.
