Each Unit will be comprised of one common share of dynaCERT (a "Common Share") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant (a “Warrant”) will entitle the holder to acquire one additional Common Share at a price of $0.50 for a period of twelve months, provided however that in the event that the Company's Common Shares trade at a price above $1.00 per Common Share on the TSX Venture Exchange for twenty (20) consecutive trading days, dynaCERT shall have the right to give notice to holders that the Warrants shall expire within thirty (30) days of such notice.

Jim Payne, CEO of dynaCERT, states: “dynaCERT is optimistic that 2018 will be the year where dynaCERT begins to expand sales into new diesel engine markets as more governments worldwide continue to recognize the need for direct Carbon Emission Reduction Technologies. With the retirement of all long-term debt, this financial strength will permit us to continue our planned global growth strategy into target markets not yet served by our HydraGEN™ products.”
