Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of Rock Tech (the “Common Shares”, with such Common Shares comprising the Units, the “Unit Shares”) and one half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole Common Share purchase warrant, a “Warrant”, and together with the Units and the Unit Shares, the “Securities”).
