It is expected that 46,000,000 common shares of BCCO will be issued to the shareholders of Spirit on a pro rata basis. 

The completion of the Proposed Transaction is subject to the satisfaction of various conditions that are standard for a transaction of this nature, including but not limited to (i) the completion of the Private Placement (as defined below); (ii) if applicable, the approval of the Proposed Transaction by the shareholders of each of BCCO and Spirit, and (iii) the completion of satisfactory due diligence by each of the parties.
