The New Facility has been issued by Zebra Holdings and Investments S.à.r.l. (the "Lender"), a company controlled by a trust settled by the late Adolf H. Lundin, and an insider of the Company. The terms of the New Facility include the Company issuing to the Lender, subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, an aggregate of 6,000 common shares of Filo (the "Common Shares") and an additional 300 Common Shares per month for each US$50,000 of the New Facility outstanding from time to time up to the Maturity Date. All securities issued in conjunction with the New Facility will be subject to a four-month hold period under applicable securities law.

The New Facility supplements existing credit facilities provided by the Lender, totalling US$10,000,000, which are evidenced by a US$5,000,000 debenture dated as of January 12, 2019, which matures on July 12, 2020, and a second US$5,000,000 debenture dated as of February 28, 2019, which matures on February 28, 2020.

The Common Shares to be issued pursuant to the terms of the New Debenture will be issued at a deemed price of CA$2.85 per share.

The issuance of Common Shares to an insider and the entering into of the Debenture each constitute a "related party transaction", as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101"). The transactions will be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of any shares issued to, or the consideration paid for, the New Debenture will exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

The securities described herein have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any U.S. state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the U.S. or to the account or benefit of a U.S. person or a person in the U.S. absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.
