SHORT FORM BASE SHELF PROSPECTUS
THE REAL BROKERAGE INC.
US$200,000,000
Common Shares
Warrants
Units
Debt Securities
Subscription Receipts
This short form base shelf prospectus (the “Prospectus”) relates to the offering for sale from time to time (each, an “Offering”) by The Real Brokerage Inc. (the “Company” or “Real”) and/or certain securityholders of the Company (the “Selling Securityholders”) from time to time, during the 25-month period that this Prospectus, including any amendments thereto, remains valid, of up to US$200,000,000 in the aggregate of: (i) common shares in the authorized share structure of the Company (“Common Shares”); (ii) warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase other Securities (as defined below) of the Company; (iii) units (“Units”) comprising of one or more of the other Securities, (iv) senior and subordinated unsecured debt securities (collectively, “Debt Securities”), including debt securities convertible or exchangeable into other securities of the Company, and (v) subscription receipts (“Subscription Receipts” and together with the Common Shares, Warrants, Units and Debt Securities, collectively referred to herein as the “Securities”). The Securities may be offered separately or together, in amounts, at prices and on terms determined based on market conditions at the time of the sale and as set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement (a “Prospectus Supplement”).
All information permitted under applicable laws to be omitted from this Prospectus will be contained in one or more Prospectus Supplements that will be delivered to purchasers together with this Prospectus, except where an exemption from such delivery requirements is available. Each Prospectus Supplement containing the specific terms of any Securities will be incorporated by reference into this Prospectus for the purposes of securities legislation as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement and only for the purposes of the distribution of the Securities to which the Prospectus Supplement pertains.
Real is permitted under a multi-jurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the securities regulatory authorities in Canada and the United States, to prepare this Prospectus in accordance with the disclosure requirements of Canada. Prospective investors in the United States should be aware that such requirements are different from those of the United States. The financial statements incorporated by reference herein have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and thus may not be comparable to financial statements of United States companies.
The enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under the United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that the Company is governed by the laws of British Columbia, Canada, that some of its officers and directors are residents of a foreign country, and the underwriters, dealers or agents named in any Prospectus Supplement may be, residents of a foreign country, and that all or a substantial portion of the assets of the Company and said persons may be located outside of the United States.
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (THE "SEC") NOR ANY STATE OR CANADIAN SECURITIES COMMISSION OR REGULATORY AUTHORITY NOR HAS THE SEC OR ANY STATE OR CANADIAN SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE.
Prospective investors should be aware that the acquisition of the Securities may have tax consequences in Canada and the United States. Such consequences for investors who are resident in, or citizens of, the United States may not be described fully herein or in any applicable Prospectus Supplement. Prospective investors should read the tax discussion contained in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, if any, with respect to a particular offering of Securities.
The specific terms of any Securities offered will be described in a Prospectus Supplement, including: (i) in the case of Common Shares, the number of Common Shares offered, the offering price (in the event the offering is a fixed price distribution), the manner of determining the offering price(s) (in the event the offering is a non-fixed price distribution) and any other specific terms; (ii) in the case of Warrants, the number of Warrants being offered, the offering price (in the event the offering is a fixed price distribution), the manner of determining the offering price(s) (in the event the offering is a non-fixed price distribution), the designation, number and terms of the other Securities purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants, and any procedures that will result in the adjustment of those numbers, the exercise price, the dates and periods of exercise and any other specific terms; (iii) in the case of Units, the number of Units offered, the offering price, the designation, number and terms of the other Securities comprising the Units, and any other specific terms; (iv) in the case of the Debt Securities, the specific designation of the Debt Securities, whether such Debt Securities are senior or subordinate, the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities being offered, the currency or currency unit in which the Debt Securities may be purchased, authorized denominations, any limit on the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of the series being offered, the issue and delivery date, the maturity date, the offering price (at par, at a discount or at a premium), the interest rate or method of determining the interest rate, the interest payment date(s), any conversion or exchange rights that are attached to the Debt Securities, any redemption provisions, any repayment provisions and any other specific terms; and (v) in the case of Subscription Receipts, the number of Subscription Receipts being offered, the offering price (in the event the offering is a fixed price distribution), the manner of determining the offering price(s) (in the event the offering is a non-fixed price distribution), the terms, conditions and procedures for the conversion of the Subscription Receipts into other Securities, the designation, number and terms of such other Securities, and any other specific terms. A Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities may include terms pertaining to the Securities being offered thereunder that are not within the terms and parameters described in this Prospectus. One or more Selling Securityholders may also offer and sell Securities under this Prospectus. See "Plan Of Distribution - Secondary Offering”.
The Securities may be sold through underwriters or dealers, directly by us, and/or by Selling Securityholders in the case of Common Shares, pursuant to applicable statutory exemptions, or through designated agents from time to time. See “Plan Of Distribution”. The Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities will identify each underwriter, dealer or agent, as the case may be, engaged by the Company in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities, and will set forth the terms of the offering of such Securities, including, to the extent applicable, any fees, discounts or any other compensation payable to underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering, the method of distribution of the Securities, the initial issue price (in the event that the offering is a fixed price distribution), the net proceeds to us and any other material terms of the plan of distribution.
The Securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices or at non-fixed prices. This Prospectus may qualify an "at-the-market distribution", as defined in National Instrument 44-102 - Shelf Distributions ("NI 44-102"). However, there may be market-based limitations affecting how much the Company may raise under an “at-the-market” distribution based on the Company’s historical trading activity. The Company has not engaged any investment dealer in respect of an “at-the-market” distribution, and there is a possibility that the Company may not establish an “at-the-market” program at all. If offered on a non-fixed price basis, the Securities may be offered at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices determined by reference to the prevailing price of a specified security in a specified market or at prices to be negotiated with purchasers including sales in transactions that are deemed to be "at-the-market distributions", including sales made directly on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX"), the Nasdaq Capital Market (the "Nasdaq") or other existing trading markets for the Securities, and as set forth in an accompanying Prospectus Supplement, in which case the compensation payable to an underwriter, dealer or agent in connection with any such sale will be decreased by the amount, if any, by which the aggregate price paid for the Securities by the purchasers is less than the gross proceeds paid by the underwriter, dealer or agent to the Company. The price at which the Securities will be offered and sold may vary from purchaser to purchaser and during the period of distribution. See "Plan Of Distribution".
This Prospectus does not qualify the issuance of Debt Securities in respect of which the payment of principal and/or interest may be determined, in whole or in part, by reference to one or more underlying interests including, for example, an equity or debt security, a statistical measure of economic or financial performance including, but not limited to, any currency, consumer price or mortgage index, or the price or value of one or more commodities, indices or other items, or any other item or formula, or any combination or basket of the foregoing items. For greater certainty, this Prospectus may qualify for issuance Debt Securities, in respect of which the payment of principal and/or interest may be determined, in whole or in part, by reference to published rates of a central banking authority or one or more financial institutions, such as a prime rate or bankers' acceptance rate, or to recognized market benchmark interest rates such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), Euro Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("EURIBOR") or a United States federal funds rate.
No underwriter or dealer involved in an "at-the-market distribution" under this Prospectus, no affiliate of such an underwriter or dealer and no person or company acting jointly or in concert with such an underwriter or dealer will over-allot securities in connection with such distribution or effect any other transactions that are intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the offered Securities or securities of the same class as the Securities distributed under the "at-the-market distribution", including selling an aggregate number or principal amount of Securities that would result in the underwriter creating an over-allocation position in the Securities.
In connection with any offering of the Securities, subject to applicable laws and other than an "at-the-market distribution", the underwriters or agents may over-allot or effect transactions that stabilize or maintain the market price of the offered Securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail on the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be interrupted or discontinued at any time. See "Plan Of Distribution".
The Common Shares are listed on the TSX and Nasdaq under the trading symbol “REAX”. On October 19, 2022, the last trading day prior to the filing of this Prospectus, the closing prices of the Common Shares on the TSX was $2.08 and on the Nasdaq was US$1.51.
Unless specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, there is no market through which the Subscription Receipts, Warrants, Units and Debt Securities may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell the Subscription Receipts, Warrants, Units and Debt Securities purchased under this Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement. This may affect the pricing of the Subscription Receipts, Warrants, Units and Debt Securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the Subscription Receipts, Warrants, Units and Debt Securities and the extent of issuer regulation. See "Risk Factors".
Prospective investors should be aware that the purchase of Securities may have tax consequences that may not be fully described in this Prospectus or in any Prospectus Supplement, and should carefully review the tax discussion, if any, in the applicable Prospectus Supplement and in any event consult with a tax advisor.
An investment in the Securities is subject to a number of risks, including those risks described in this Prospectus and documents incorporated by reference into this Prospectus.

COVID-19 Pandemic
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus, commonly referred to as "COVID-19", has spread throughout North America and Europe, causing companies and various international jurisdictions to impose restrictions such as quarantines, business closures and travel restrictions. While these effects are expected to be temporary, the duration of the business disruptions internationally and their impacts on the Company cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company has successfully continued operations under COVID-19 protocols. COVID-19 has not resulted in any material delays in the development or sales of our products. The Company is not currently experiencing any significant delays or interruptions in service or product delivery. The Company's workforce has successfully transitioned to working remotely during COVID-19. The Company has been able to operate relatively unaffected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The most notable impact has been that certain business development pursuits have taken longer to complete as international travel restrictions have hindered the performance and attendance of live product demonstrations, particularly for the Company's newer products.
The Company cautions that it is impossible to fully anticipate or quantify the effect and ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as the situation is rapidly evolving. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company's results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions taken by governments to contain it or treat its impact, including shelter in place directives, which, if extended, may impact the economies in which the Company now operates, or may in the future operate, key markets into which the Company delivers services and the real estate market generally.

Common Shares
The authorized capital of the Company consists of an unlimited number of Common Shares. As at October 20, 2022, the Company had 178,458,763 Common Shares issued and outstanding.
Holders of Common Shares are entitled to dividends if, as and when declared by the board of directors of the Company, to receive notice of and one vote per Common Share at meetings of shareholders and, upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, to share rateably in such assets of the Company as are distributable to the holders of Common Shares.
Common Shares may be sold separately or together with certain other Securities under this Prospectus. Common Shares may also be issuable on conversion, exchange, exercise or maturity of certain other Securities qualified for issuance under this Prospectus.
Warrants
Warrants may be offered separately or together with other Securities, as the case may be. Each series of Warrants may be issued under a separate warrant indenture or warrant agency agreement to be entered into between the Company and one or more banks or trust companies acting as Warrant agent or may be issued as stand-alone contracts. The applicable Prospectus Supplement will include details of such agreements, if any, governing the Warrants being offered. The Warrant agent, if any, will be expected to act solely as the agent of the Company and will not assume a relationship of agency with any holders of Warrant certificates or beneficial owners of Warrants. The following sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the Warrants that may be offered under this Prospectus. The specific terms of the Warrants, and the extent to which the general terms described in this section apply to those Warrants, will be set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.
A copy of any warrant indenture or any warrant agency agreement relating to an offering of Warrants will be filed by the Company with the relevant securities regulatory authorities in Canada and the United States after it has been entered into by the Company.
Each applicable Prospectus Supplement will set forth the terms and other information with respect to the Warrants being offered thereby, which may include, without limitation, the following (where applicable):
the designation of the Warrants;
the aggregate number of Warrants offered and the offering price;
the designation, number and terms of the other Securities purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants, and procedures that will result in the adjustment of those numbers;
the exercise price of the Warrants;
the dates or periods during which the Warrants are exercisable;
the designation and terms of any securities with which the Warrants are issued;
if the Warrants are issued as a unit with another Security, the date on and after which the Warrants and the other Security will be separately transferable;
any minimum or maximum amount of Warrants that may be exercised at any one time;
whether such Warrants will be listed on any securities exchange;
any terms, procedures and limitations relating to the transferability, exchange or exercise of the Warrants;
certain material Canadian and United States tax consequences of owning the Warrants; and
Units
The Company may issue Units comprised of one or more of the other Securities described herein in any combination. Each Unit may be issued so that the holder of the Unit is also the holder of each Security included in the Unit; thus, the holder of a Unit may have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included Security. Any Unit agreement under which a Unit may be issued may provide that the Securities included in the Unit may not be held or transferred separately at any time or at any time before a specified date.
Each applicable Prospectus Supplement will set forth the terms and other information with respect to the Units being offered thereby, which may include, without limitation, the following (where applicable):
any provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the Units or of the Securities comprising the Units;
certain material Canadian and United States tax consequences of owning the Securities comprising the Units; and
any other material terms and conditions of the Units.
Debt Securities
The Debt Securities will be senior or subordinated unsecured indebtedness of the Company as described in the relevant Prospectus Supplement. If the Debt Securities are senior indebtedness, they will rank equally and rateably with all other unsecured indebtedness of the Company, from time to time issued and outstanding, which is not subordinated.
If the Debt Securities are subordinated indebtedness, they will rank equally and rateably with all other subordinated Debt Securities from time to time issued and outstanding. In the event of the insolvency or winding-up of the Company, the subordinated Debt Securities will be subordinated and postponed in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all other liabilities and indebtedness of the Company, other than indebtedness that, by its terms, ranks equally with, or subordinate to, such subordinated Debt Securities.
Any convertible or exchangeable Debt Securities will be convertible or exchangeable only for other securities of the Company.
In conformity with applicable laws of Canada and the United States, for all bonds and notes of companies that are publicly offered, the Debt Securities will be governed by a document called an "indenture". There will be a separate indenture for the senior Debt Securities and the subordinated Debt Securities. An indenture is a contract between a financial institution, acting on your behalf as trustee of the Debt Securities offered, and us. The trustee has two main roles. First, subject to some limitations on the extent to which the trustee can act on your behalf, the trustee can enforce your rights against us if we default on our obligations under the indenture. Second, the trustee performs certain administrative duties for us. The aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities that may be issued under each indenture is unlimited. A copy of the form of each indenture to be entered into in connection with offerings of Debt Securities will be filed with the applicable securities regulatory authorities in Canada when it is entered into. A copy of any indenture or supplement thereto entered into by us will be filed with securities regulatory authorities and will be available on our profile on SEDAR.
This Prospectus does not qualify for issuance Debt Securities in respect of which the payment of principal and/or interest may be determined, in whole or in part, by reference to one or more underlying interests including, for example, an equity or debt security, a statistical measure of economic or financial performance including, but not limited to, any currency, consumer price or mortgage index, or the price or value of one or more commodities, indices or other items, or any other item or formula, or any combination or basket of the foregoing items. For greater certainty, this Prospectus may qualify for issuance Debt Securities in respect of which the payment of principal and/or interest may be determined, in whole or in part, by reference to published rates of a central banking authority or one or more financial institutions, such as a prime rate or bankers' acceptance rate, or to recognized market benchmark interest rates such as SOFR, EURIBOR or a United States federal funds rate.
Selected provisions of the Debt Securities and the indenture(s) under which such Debt Securities will be issued are summarized below. This summary is not complete. The statements made in this Prospectus relating to any indenture and Debt Securities to be issued thereunder are summaries of certain anticipated provisions thereof and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all provisions of the applicable indenture. The indentures will not limit the amount of Debt Securities that we may issue thereunder. We may issue Debt Securities from time to time under an indenture in one or more series by entering into supplemental indentures or by our board of directors or a duly authorized committee authorizing the issuance. The Debt Securities of a series need not be issued at the same time, bear interest at the same rate or mature on the same date.
The Prospectus Supplement for a particular series of Debt Securities will disclose the specific terms of such Debt Securities, including the price or prices at which the Debt Securities to be offered will be issued. The terms and provisions of any Debt Securities offered under a Prospectus Supplement may differ from the terms described below, and may not be subject to or contain any or all of such terms. Those terms may include some or all of the following:
the designation, aggregate principal amount and authorized denominations of such Debt Securities;
the indenture under which such Debt Securities will be issued and the trustee(s) thereunder;
the currency or currency units for which the Debt Securities may be purchased and the currency or currency unit in which the principal and any interest is payable (in either case, if other than Canadian dollars);

the percentage of the principal amount at which such Debt Securities will be issued;
the date or dates on which such Debt Securities will mature;

the place or places where principal, premium and interest will be payable;
the designation and terms of any other Securities with which the Debt Securities will be offered, if any, and the principal amount of Debt Securities that will be offered with each Security;
the securities exchange(s) on which such series of Debt Securities will be listed, if any;
any terms relating to the modification, amendment or waiver of any terms of such Debt Securities or the applicable indenture;
any change in the right of the trustee or the holders to declare the principal, premium and interest with respect to such series of debt securities to be due and payable;
governing law;
any limit upon the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities of such series that may be authenticated and delivered under the indenture;

The Company and Selling Securityholders may from time to time during the 25-month period that this Prospectus, including any amendments and supplements hereto, remains valid, offer for sale and sell up to an aggregate of US$200,000,000 in Securities hereunder.
The Securities may be sold by us, and in the case of Common Shares, by Selling Securityholders, (i) directly pursuant to applicable statutory exemptions, (ii) to or through underwriters or dealers, or (iii) through designated agents. The Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities will identify any underwriter, dealer or agent engaged in connection with the offering and sale of such Securities, and will set forth the terms of the offering of such Securities, including, to the extent applicable, any fees, discounts or any other compensation payable to underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering, the method of distribution of the Securities, the purchase price of the Securities (or the manner of determination thereof if offered on a non-fixed price basis), the net proceeds to us and any other material terms of the plan of distribution (including sales in transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market distributions” as defined in NI 44-102). Any initial offering price and discounts, concessions or commissions allowed or re-allowed or paid to underwriters, dealers or agents may be changed from time to time. Only underwriters named in the Prospectus Supplement are deemed to be underwriters in connection with our Securities offered by that Prospectus Supplement.
The Securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices or at non-fixed prices. If offered on a non-fixed price basis, the Securities may be offered at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices determined by reference to the prevailing price of a specified security in a specified market or at prices to be negotiated with purchasers including sales in transactions that are deemed to be "at-the-market" distributions, including sales made directly on the TSX, NASDAQ, or other existing trading markets for the Securities, in which case the compensation payable to an underwriter, dealer or agent in connection with any such sale will be decreased by the amount, if any, by which the aggregate price paid for the Securities by the purchasers is less than the gross proceeds paid by the underwriter, dealer or agent to the Company. The price at which the Securities will be offered and sold may vary from purchaser to purchaser and during the period of distribution.
Sales of Securities under an "at-the-market distribution", if any, will be made pursuant to an accompanying Prospectus Supplement. Sales of Securities under any "at-the-market" program will be made in transactions that are "at-the-market distributions" as defined in NI 44-102. The volume and timing of any "at-the-market distributions" will be determined at the Company's sole discretion.
No underwriter or dealer involved in an "at-the-market distribution" under this Prospectus, no affiliate of such an underwriter or dealer and no person or company acting jointly or in concert with such an underwriter or dealer will over-allot securities in connection with such distribution or effect any other transactions that are intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the offered Securities or securities of the same class as the Securities distributed under the "at-the-market distribution", including selling an aggregate number or principal amount of Securities that would result in the underwriter creating an over-allocation position in the Securities
In connection with the sale of the Securities, underwriters, dealers or agents may receive compensation from the Company and/or the Selling Securityholders, including in the form of underwriters’, dealers’ or agents’ fees, commissions or concessions. Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of the Securities may be deemed to be underwriters for the purposes of applicable Canadian securities legislation and the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), and any such compensation that they receive from the Company or Selling Securityholders, and any profit that they make on the resale of the Securities, may be deemed to be underwriting commissions.
Underwriters, dealers or agents who participate in the distribution of the Securities may be entitled, under agreements to be entered into with the Company, to indemnification by the Company against certain liabilities, including liabilities under Canadian securities legislation, or to contribution with respect to payments, which such underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make in respect thereof. Such underwriters, dealers and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for, the Company in the ordinary course of business.
In connection with any offering of Securities, subject to applicable laws and other than an "at-the-market distribution", the underwriters, dealers or agents, as the case may be, may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the offered Securities at a level other than those which otherwise might prevail on the open market. Such transactions may be commenced, interrupted or discontinued at any time.
Unless specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, there is no market through which the Subscription Receipts, Warrants, Units and Debt Securities may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell the Subscription Receipts, Warrants, Units and Debt Securities purchased under this Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement. This may affect the pricing of the Subscription Receipts, Warrants, Units and Debt Securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the Subscription Receipts, Warrants, Units and Debt Securities and the extent of issuer regulation. See "Risk Factors".
Secondary Offering
This Prospectus may from time to time relate to the secondary offering of Common Shares by Selling Securityholders.
Selling Securityholders may sell all or a portion of the Common Share beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters or agents. Unless the Company otherwise agrees or is bound, Selling Securityholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions incurred in connection with sales of their Securities through underwriters and agents. The Securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or at non-fixed prices. If offered on a non-fixed price basis, Securities may be offered at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices determined by reference to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices, which prices may vary as between purchasers and during the period of distribution of the Securities.
The Company does not currently expect any Selling Securityholders to sell Common Shares pursuant to an “at-the-market” offering.
The Prospectus Supplement for or including any secondary offering of Securities by a Selling Securityholder will include the following information:
Offerings in the United States
Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, this Prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any Securities to, or for the account or benefit of, persons within the United States or U.S. Persons (as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act). Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Securities have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold to, or for the account or benefit of, persons within the United States or U.S. Persons, unless the Securities are registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration requirements is available.

In addition, until 40 days after the commencement of an offering of Securities under any applicable Prospectus Supplement, an offer or sale of Securities within the United States by any dealer (whether or not participating in the offering of Securities) may violate the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act if such offer is made otherwise than in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act.

The information as to the Common Shares beneficially owned or controlled or directed, directly or indirectly, by the directors and executive officers, not being within the knowledge of the Company, has been furnished by such directors and executive officers.
All of our directors and executive officers are be subject to our insider trading policy (the "Stock Trading Policy"), which prohibits trading in our securities while in possession of material undisclosed information about the Company or during certain prescribed blackout periods. Under the Stock Trading Policy, such individuals will are prohibited from entering into hedging transactions involving our securities, such as short sales, puts and calls.
Penalties and Sanctions
Except as described herein, to the knowledge of the Company, no director or executive officer of the Company, or shareholder holding a sufficient number of securities of the Company to affect materially the control of the Company, or personal holding company of any of them, has been subject to:
On September 15, 2015, the District Court of Harris County, Texas, 215th Judicial District in Cause No. 2011-77806 rendered a civil judgement against Optimum Arbor Oaks, LLC ("Optimum"), among other defendants including Tamir Poleg (a director and officer of the Company), relating to the misappropriation of insurance proceeds and the fraudulent transfer of funds to certain third-parties (the "Arbor Oaks Judgement").
Optimum was principally liable under the Arbor Oaks Judgement and was required to pay the amount of US $1,119,466 to the plaintiffs. Tamir Poleg, together with certain other defendants, were held liable to the plaintiffs for the aggregate amount of US$257,929.25. In connection with an Assumption and Release Agreement and related loan documents executed by Optimum dated April 17, 2008, Mr. Poleg, together with another individual defendant (collectively, the "Guarantors"), were required to sign a personal indemnity and guarantee agreement (the "Indemnity and Guarantee") in favour of certain lenders to Optimum that required that the Guarantors would be personally liable for certain debts associated with a multi-residential apartment complex in Texas, United States owned by Optimum (the "Arbor Oaks Apartments") to the extent that Optimum misappropriated any insurance claims in connection with the Arbor Oaks Apartments. Mr. Poleg was an indirect and passive investor in Optimum and had no operational or managerial control over Optimum. Optimum was contractually responsible to use certain insurance proceeds to improve the Arbor Oaks Apartments or reduce its debt and Optimum had failed to do so. As a result of the Indemnity and Guarantee, Mr. Poleg was contractually bound to pay for any misappropriation of funds by Optimum, irrespective that Mr. Poleg was a passive investor of Optimum.
Conflicts of Interest
The Company is not aware of any potential material conflicts of interest between the Company and its directors and executive officers. The Company has implemented a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, a Corporate Disclosure Policy and a Stock Trading Policy (collectively, the "Policies"). The Policies are reviewed by the Company's board of directors on a periodic basis. The Company believes that the Policies are sufficient to mitigate the risks of any potential material conflicts of interested or any associated risks.
RISK FACTORS
An investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk and must be considered speculative due to the nature of the Company's business and present stage of development. Before making an investment decision, prospective purchasers of Securities should carefully consider the information described in this Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein, including the applicable Prospectus Supplement. There are certain risks inherent in an investment in the Securities, including the factors described below and under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Annual Information Form and under the heading “Risks and Uncertainties” in the Annual MD&A and Interim MD&A, and any other risk factors described herein or in a document incorporated by reference herein, which investors should carefully consider before investing. Additional risk factors relating to a specific offering of Securities will be described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. Some of the factors described herein, in the documents incorporated by reference herein, and/or the applicable Prospectus Supplement are interrelated and, consequently, investors should treat such risk factors as a whole. If any of the risk factors described herein, in the Annual Information Form, in another document incorporated by reference herein or in the applicable Prospectus Supplement occur, it could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties of which the Company currently is unaware or that are unknown or that it currently deems to be immaterial could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operation. The Company cannot assure purchasers that it will successfully address any or all of these risks. There is no assurance that any risk management steps taken will avoid future loss due to the occurrence of the risks described herein, in the Annual Information Form, in the other documents incorporated by reference herein or in the applicable Prospectus Supplement or other unforeseen risks.
Implications of the COVID-19 Pandemic
The ongoing global outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to protect against the spread of the virus. These measures, which include, among other things, limitations on travel, self-imposed quarantine periods and social distancing measures, have caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of any government and/or central bank interventions. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact that they could have on the financial results and condition of the Company and its operating subsidiaries in future periods.
Global pandemics (like the COVID-19 pandemic) and other public health threats, or a fear thereof, could adversely impact our production operations, sales efforts, lead to labour shortages, and severely impact supply chain logistics including travel and shipping disruptions and shutdowns (including as a result of government regulation and prevention measures) affecting production and delivery of the inputs and materials we need to operate and deliver our products to customers. It is unknown whether and how the Company may be affected if such an occurrence persists for an extended period of time but we anticipate that it would have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial performance. In addition, the Company may also be required to incur additional expenses and/or delays relating to such events which could have a further negative impact on our business, operating results and financial performance. The Company is actively addressing the risks to its business from COVID-19 through a broad range of measures throughout its structure and is re-assessing its response to the COVID-19 pandemic on an ongoing basis. For additional information see, "The Company - Recent Developments - COVID-19 Pandemic".
Risks Related to the Offering
An Investment in the Securities is Speculative
An investment in the Securities and the Company's prospects generally, are speculative due to the risky nature of its business and the present state of its development. Investors may lose their entire investment and should carefully consider the risk factors described below and under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Annual Information Form.
Discretion in the Use of Proceeds
While detailed information regarding the use of proceeds from the sale of the Securities will be described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Company will have broad discretion over the use of net proceeds from an offering by the Company of its securities. There may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, a reallocation of funds may be deemed prudent or necessary. In such circumstances, the net proceeds will be reallocated at the Company's sole discretion.
Management will have discretion concerning the use of proceeds as described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement as well as the timing of their expenditures. As a result, an investor will be relying on the judgment of management for the application of the proceeds. Management may use the net proceeds described in a Prospectus Supplement in ways that an investor may not consider desirable. The results and the effectiveness of the application of the proceeds are uncertain. If the proceeds are not applied effectively, the Company's results of operations may suffer.
Additional Financing
The continued development of the Company will require additional financing. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to achieve its business objectives, including with respect to the expansion of its product offerings, completing future acquisitions, and entering into new markets. The Company intends to fund its business objectives by way of additional offerings of equity and/or debt financing as well as through anticipated positive cash flow from operations in the future. The failure to raise or procure such additional funds or the failure to achieve positive cash flow could result in the delay or indefinite postponement of current business objectives. There can be no assurance that additional capital or other types of financing will be available if needed or that, if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company. If additional funds are raised by offering equity securities, existing shareholders could suffer significant dilution.
Volatile Market Price of the Common Shares
The market price of the Common Shares may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control. This volatility may affect the ability of holders of such securities to sell their securities at an advantageous price. Market price fluctuations in the Common Shares may be due to the Company's operating results failing to meet expectations of securities analysts or investors in any period, downward revision in securities analysts' estimates, adverse changes in general market conditions or economic trends, acquisitions, dispositions or other material public announcements by government and regulatory authorities, the Company or its competitors, along with a variety of additional factors. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of the Common Shares.
Financial markets have at times historically experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices of equity securities of companies and that have often been unrelated to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. Accordingly, the market price of the Company's securities may decline even if the Company's operating results, underlying asset values or prospects have not changed. Additionally, these factors, as well as other related factors, may cause decreases in asset values that are deemed to be other than temporary, which may result in impairment losses. There can be no assurance that continuing fluctuations in price and volume will not occur. If such increased levels of volatility and market turmoil continue, the Company's operations could be adversely impacted and the trading price of the Common Shares may be materially adversely affected.
Risk Factors Related to Dilution
The Company may issue additional Common Shares or securities that are convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares in the future, which may dilute a shareholder’s holdings in the Company. The Company’s articles permit the issuance of an unlimited number of Common Shares, and shareholders will have no pre-emptive rights in connection with such further issuance. The directors of the Company have discretion to determine the price and the terms of further issuances. Moreover, additional Common Shares will be issued by the Company on the exercise of options under the Company’s stock option plan, the settlement of restricted share units under the Company’s restricted share unit plan and upon the exercise of any issued and outstanding common share purchase warrants.
Market for Securities
There is currently no market through which the Securities, other than the Common Shares, may be sold. As a consequence, purchasers may not be able to resell the Warrants, Units, Debt Securities or Subscription Receipts purchased under this Prospectus and any Prospectus Supplement. This may affect the pricing of the Securities, other than the Common Shares, in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of these securities and the extent of issuer regulation. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for the Securities, other than the Common Shares, will develop or, if developed, that any such market, including for the Common Shares, will be sustained. Shareholders of the Company may be unable to sell significant quantities of Common Shares into the public trading markets without a significant reduction in the price of their Common Shares, or at all. There can be no assurance that there will be sufficient liquidity of the Common Shares on the trading markets, or that the Company will continue to meet the listing requirements of the TSX, Nasdaq or any other public stock exchange.
Profitability
There is no assurance that the Company will earn profits in the future, or that profitability will be sustained. The Company's industry requires significant financial resources, and there is no assurance that future revenues will be sufficient to generate the funds required to continue the Company's business development and commercial activities. If the Company does not have sufficient capital to fund its operations, it may be required to reduce its research and development efforts or in the future reduce its marketing efforts or forego certain business opportunities.
Debt Securities
The Debt Securities may be unsecured and will rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company's other existing and future unsecured debt. The Debt Securities may be effectively subordinated to all of the Company's existing and future secured debt to the extent of the assets securing such debt. If the Company is involved in any bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization, the secured debt holders would, to the extent of the value of the assets securing the secured debt, be paid before the holders of unsecured debt securities, including the debt securities. In that event, a holder of Debt Securities may not be able to recover any principal or interest due to it under the Debt Securities.
In addition, the collateral, if any, and all proceeds therefrom, securing any Debt Securities may be subject to higher priority liens in favor of other lenders and other secured parties which may mean that, at any time that any obligations that are secured by higher ranking liens remain outstanding, actions that may be taken in respect of the collateral (including the ability to commence enforcement proceedings against the collateral and to control the conduct of such proceedings) may be at the direction of the holders of such indebtedness.
Business in International Emerging Markets
The Company’s subsidiary, Real Technology Broker Ltd., is incorporated in Israel, a country that is considered to be an international emerging market. Although Real Technology Broker Ltd. is a holding company for the Company’s United States operational subsidiaries, its business may be subject to risks associated with the carrying on business in emerging international markets. In connection with its activities in Israel or such other international emerging markets the Company may carry on business in the future, the Company may face new or unexpected risks or significantly increase its exposure to one or more existing risk factors, including economic and political instability, changes in laws and regulations, and the effects of competition. These factors may limit the Company’s ability to expand its activities or continue its business into such jurisdictions and may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial conditions, and results of operations. Inherent risks with conducting foreign operations include, but are not limited to: high rates of inflation; extreme fluctuations in currency exchange rates, military repression; war or civil war; social and labour unrest; organized crime; hostage taking; terrorism; violent crime; expropriation and nationalization; renegotiation or nullification of existing licenses, approvals, permits and contracts; changes in taxation policies; restrictions on foreign exchange and repatriation; and changing political norms, currency controls and governmental regulations that favour or require the Company to award contracts in, employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, the jurisdiction. Governments in certain foreign jurisdictions intervene in their economies, sometimes frequently, and occasionally make significant changes in policies and regulations. Failure to comply strictly with applicable laws, regulations and local practices could result in loss, reduction or expropriation of licenses, or the imposition of additional local or foreign parties as joint venture partners with carried or other interests. The Company continues to monitor developments and policies in the emerging markets in which it will operate and assess the impact thereof to its operations; however, such developments cannot be accurately predicted and could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations or profitability.
PROMOTERS
Tamir Poleg may be considered a “promoter” (as the term is contemplated under applicable corporate and securities laws.) of the Company based on his role as founder of Real. Other than as described in this Prospectus, no promoter of the Company has received or will receive anything of value, including money, property, contracts, options, or rights of any kind from the Company for acting as a promoter of the Company. Mr. Poleg beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, or exercises control or direction over 8,911,142 Common Shares representing 4.99% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.
No promoter of the Company is, as at the date of this Prospectus, or has been within 10 years prior to the date of this Prospectus, a director, chief executive officer, or chief financial officer of any person or company, that:
(a) was subject to an order that was issued while the promoter was acting in such capacity; or
(b) was subject to an order that was issued after the promoter ceased to act in such capacity and which resulted from an event that occurred while the promoter was acting in such capacity.
No promoter of the Company is, as at the date of this Prospectus, or has been within the 10 years prior to the date of this Prospectus, a director or executive officer of any person or company that, while the promoter was acting in that capacity, or within a year of that person ceasing to act in that capacity, became bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or was subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold its assets.
No promoter of the Company has, within the 10 years prior to the date of this Prospectus, become bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, or become subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors, or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold the assets of the promoter.
LEGAL MATTERS
Certain legal matters in connection with the offering of the Securities will be passed upon by Gowling WLG (Canada) LLP on behalf of the Company. As at the date hereof, the designated professionals of Gowling WLG (Canada) LLP, as a group, beneficially own, directly or indirectly, less than one percent of the securities of the Company.
AUDITORS, TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
Brightman Almagor Zohar & Co., a firm in the Deloitte Global Network (the "Auditor"), whose principal office is located at Azrieli Center, Derech Menachem Begin 132, Tel Aviv, Israel, 6701101, are the auditors of the Company and have confirmed that they are independent with respect to the Company within the meaning of the relevant rules and related interpretations prescribed by the relevant professional bodies in Canada, Israel and any applicable legislation or regulations.
The registrar and transfer agent for the Common Shares is Computershare Investor Services Inc. with an office located at 510 Burrard Street, 3rd Floor, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6C 3B9.
ENFORCEMENT OF CERTAIN CIVIL LIABILITIES IN THE UNITED STATES
The Company is a corporation existing under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). Certain of our directors and officers, and all of the experts named in this Prospectus, are resident outside the United States, and all or a substantial portion of their assets, and a majority of the Company's assets, are located outside the United States. We have appointed an agent for service of process in the United States, but it may be difficult for U.S. investors to effect service within the United States upon those directors, officers and experts who are not residents of the United States. It may also be difficult for U.S. investors to realize upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the Company's civil liability and the civil liability of its directors, officers and experts under the United States federal securities laws.
You should not assume that Canadian courts would enforce judgments of United States courts obtained in actions against us or such persons predicated on the civil liability provisions of the United States federal securities laws or the securities or "blue sky" laws of any state within the United States or would enforce, in original actions, liabilities against us or such persons predicated on the United States federal securities or any such state securities or "blue sky" laws.
The Company filed with the SEC, concurrently with the Registration Statement, an appointment of agent for service of process on Form F-X. Under the Form F-X, the Company appointed Cogency Global Inc., with an address at 122 East 42nd Street, 18th Floor, New York, NY 10168; telephone 1-800-221-0102, as its agent for service of process in the United States in connection with any investigation or administrative proceeding conducted by the SEC, and any civil suit or action brought against or involving the Company in a United States court arising out of or related to or concerning the offering of Securities under the Registration Statement.
STATUTORY AND CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS OF WITHDRAWAL AND RESCISSION
Unless provided otherwise in a Prospectus Supplement, the following is a description of a purchaser's statutory rights. Securities legislation in certain of the provinces and territories of Canada provides purchasers of the Securities with the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase the Securities, which right may be exercised within two business days after receipt or deemed receipt of this Prospectus, the accompanying Prospectus Supplement and any amendment relating to the Securities purchased by a purchaser. In several of the provinces and territories, the securities legislation further provides a purchaser with remedies for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price, or damages if the prospectus, prospectus supplement, and any amendment relating to securities purchased by a purchaser contains a misrepresentation or are not sent or delivered to the purchaser, provided that the remedies for rescission, revisions of the price or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser's province or territory. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser's province or territory for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal advisor.
Original purchasers of Securities under this Prospectus (as supplemented or amended) that are convertible, exchangeable or exercisable securities will be granted a contractual right of rescission against the Company in respect of the conversion, exchange or exercise of such Securities. The contractual right of rescission will entitle such original purchasers to receive, in addition to the amount paid on original purchase of any Securities, the amount paid upon conversion, exchange or exercise, upon surrender of the underlying securities gained thereby, in the event that this Prospectus (as supplemented or amended) contains a misrepresentation, provided that both the conversion, exchange or exercise occurs, and the right of rescission is exercised, within 180 days of the date of the purchase of the Securities under this Prospectus (as supplemented or amended).
Purchasers of securities distributed under an "at-the-market distribution" by the Company do not have the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase the securities and do not have remedies of rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price, or damages for non-delivery of the Prospectus, a Prospectus Supplement, and any amendment relating to the securities purchased by such purchaser because the Prospectus, a Prospectus Supplement, and any amendment relating to the securities purchased by such purchaser will not be sent or delivered, as permitted under Part 9 of NI 44-102.
Any remedies under securities legislation that a purchaser of securities distributed under an "at-the-market distribution" by the Company may have against the Company or its agents for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price, or damages if the Prospectus, a Prospectus Supplement, and any amendment relating to securities purchased by a purchaser contain a misrepresentation will remain unaffected by the non-delivery of the Prospectus or a Prospectus Supplement. A purchaser should refer to applicable securities legislation for the particulars of these rights and should consult a legal adviser.
In an offering of Securities, to the extent such securities are convertible, exchangeable or exercisable securities, investors are cautioned that the statutory right of action for damages for a misrepresentation contained in the Prospectus (as supplemented or amended) is limited, in certain provincial and territorial securities legislation, to the price at which the Securities are offered to the public under the prospectus offering. This means that, under the securities legislation of certain provinces and territories of Canada, if the purchaser pays additional amounts upon conversion, exchange or exercise, as applicable, of the Security, those amounts may not be recoverable under the statutory right of action for damages that applies in those provinces and territories of Canada. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of applicable provincial or territorial securities legislation for the particulars of this right of action for damages or consult with a legal advisor.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED TO BE DELIVERED TO
OFFEREES OR PURCHASERS
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
The Registrant is subject to the provisions of Part 5, Division 5 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "Act").
Under Section 160 of the Act, a company may, subject to Section 163 of the Act:
(a) indemnify an individual who:
(i) is or was a director or officer of the company;
(ii) is or was a director or officer of another corporation (A) at a time when such corporation is or was an affiliate of the company; or (B) at the company's request; or
(iii) at the company's request, is or was, or holds or held a position equivalent to that of, a director or officer of a partnership, trust, joint venture or other unincorporated entity;
including, subject to certain specified exceptions, the heirs and personal or other legal representatives of that individual (collectively, an "eligible party"), against all eligible penalties, defined below, to which the eligible party is or may be liable; and
(b) after final disposition of an eligible proceeding (defined below), pay the expenses (defined below) actually and reasonably incurred by an eligible party in respect of that proceeding, where, under Part 5, Division 5 of the Act:
(i) "eligible penalty" means a judgment, penalty or fine awarded or imposed in, or an amount paid in settlement of, an eligible proceeding;
(ii) "eligible proceeding" means a proceeding (defined below) in which an eligible party or any of the heirs and personal or other legal representatives of the eligible party, by reason of the eligible party being or having been a director or officer of, or holding or having held a position equivalent to that of a director or officer of, the company or an associated corporation (A) is or may be joined as a party, or (B) is or may be liable for or in respect of a judgment, penalty or fine in, or expenses related to, the proceeding;
(iii) "expenses" includes costs, charges and expenses, including legal and other fees, but does not include judgments, penalties, fines or amounts paid in settlement of a proceeding; and
(iv) "proceeding" includes any legal proceeding or investigative action, whether current, threatened, pending or completed.
Under Section 161 of the Act, and subject to Section 163 of the Act, a company must, after the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by an eligible party in respect of that proceeding if the eligible party: (a) has not been reimbursed for those expenses; and (b) is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the outcome of the proceeding or is substantially successful on the merits in the outcome of the proceeding. Under Section 162 of the Act, and subject to Section 163 of the Act, a company may pay, as they are incurred in advance of the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by an eligible party in respect of the proceeding, provided that a company must not make such payments unless the company first receives from the eligible party a written undertaking that, if it is ultimately determined that the payment of expenses is prohibited under Section 163 of the Act, the eligible party will repay the amounts advanced.
Under Section 163 of the Act, a company must not indemnify an eligible party or pay the expenses of an eligible party in respect of the foregoing, if any of the following circumstances apply:
(a) if the indemnity or payment is made under an earlier agreement to indemnify or pay expenses and, at the time that the agreement to indemnify or pay expenses was made, the company was prohibited from giving the indemnity or paying the expenses by its memorandum or Articles;
(b) if the indemnity or payment is made otherwise than under an earlier agreement to indemnify or pay expenses and, at the time that the indemnity or payment is made, the company is prohibited from giving the indemnity or paying the expenses by its memorandum or Articles;
(c) if, in relation to the subject matter of the eligible proceeding, the eligible party did not act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the company or the associated corporation, as the case may be; or
(d) in the case of an eligible proceeding other than a civil proceeding, if the eligible party did not have reasonable grounds for believing that the eligible party's conduct in respect of which the proceeding was brought was lawful.
Additionally, if an eligible proceeding is brought against an eligible party by or on behalf of the company or by or on behalf of an associated corporation, the company must neither indemnify the eligible party nor pay the expenses of the eligible party in respect of the proceeding.
Whether or not payment of expenses or indemnification has been sought, authorized or declined under Part 5, Division 5 of the Act, Section 164 of the Act provides that, on application of a company or an eligible party, the Supreme Court of British Columbia may do one or more of the following:
(a) order a company to indemnify an eligible party against any liability incurred by the eligible party in respect of an eligible proceeding;
(b) order a company to pay some or all of the expenses incurred by an eligible party in respect of an eligible proceeding;
(c) order the enforcement of, or any payment under, an agreement of indemnification entered into by a company;
(d) order the Corporation to pay some or all of the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by any person in obtaining an order under Section 164 of the Act; or
(e) make any other order the court considers appropriate.
Section 165 of the Act provides that a company may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of an eligible party or the heirs and personal or other legal representatives of the eligible party against any liability that may be incurred by reason of the eligible party being or having been a director or officer of, or holding or having held a position equivalent to that of a director or officer of, the company or an associated corporation.
Under its Articles, and subject to the Act, the Registrant must indemnify a director, former director or alternate director and his or her heirs and legal personal representatives against all eligible penalties to which such person is or may be liable, and the Registrant must, after the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in respect of that proceeding. Each director and alternate director is deemed to have contracted with the Registrant on the above terms.
Under the Registrant's Articles, subject to any restrictions in the Act, the Registrant may indemnify any person. The Registrant has entered into indemnity agreements with certain of the its directors and officers.
Pursuant to the Registrant's Articles, the failure of a director, alternate director or officer of the Registrant to comply with the Act or the Registrant's Articles, or, if applicable, any former Companies Act or former Articles of the Registrant, does not invalidate any indemnity to which he or she is entitled under the Registrant's Articles.
Under the Registrant's Articles, the Registrant may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any person (or his or her heirs or legal personal representatives) who:
against any liability incurred by him or her as such director, alternate director, officer, employee or agent or person who holds or held such equivalent position.
The Registrant maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance which insures directors and officers for losses as a result of claims against the directors and officers of the Registrant in their capacity as directors and officers.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the U.S. Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the Registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is therefore unenforceable.
