As required by National Instrument 62-103 The Early Warning System and Related Take Over Bids and Insider Reporting Issues in connection with the filing of an early warning report (the "Early Warning Report") regarding the acquisition of securities of Cielo by Douglas Allan (the “Offeror”).

 

The Offeror announces that the Offeror has acquired $100,000 of the Convertible Debentures under the Offering.   Together with the 10,075,189 common shares owned by the Offeror (the “Shares”), the Offeror beneficially owns and controls securities of Cielo representing 10.1% of the issued and outstanding shares of Cielo on a non-diluted basis and 11% on a diluted basis.

 

The Debentures (and  Shares) were acquired for investment purposes. The Offeror may, depending on market and other conditions, increase or change its beneficial ownership over the common shares or other securities of Cielo through market transactions, private agreements, treasury issuances, exercise of convertible securities or otherwise. The transactions described in this news release constitute “related party transactions” within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Shareholders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). For these transactions Cielo relied on the exemption from the formal valuation requirements of MI 61-101 contained in section 5.5(a) and (b) of MI 61-101 on the basis that the fair market value of the transaction not being more than Twenty-Five Percent (25%) of the market capitalization of Cielo and no securities of Cielo are listed on a specified market set out in such section, and Cielo relied on the exemption from the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in Section 5.7(1)(a) and 5.7(1)(b) of MI 61-101 on the basis of the fair market value of the transaction not being more than Twenty-Five Percent (25%) of the market capitalization of Cielo and $2,500,000.
