You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.
In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional Common Shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares at prices that may not be the same as the price per share paid by any investor in an offering in a subsequent Prospectus Supplement. We may sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is less than the price per share or other security paid by any investor in an offering in a subsequent Prospectus Supplement, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to you. The price per share at which we sell additional Common Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares, in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share paid by any investor in an offering under a subsequent Prospectus Supplement.
There can be no assurance as to the liquidity of the trading market for certain Securities or that a trading market for certain Securities will develop.

If these securities are traded after their initial issue, they may trade at a discount from their initial offering prices depending on the market for similar securities, prevailing interest rates and other factors, including general economic conditions and the Company’s financial condition. There can be no assurance as to the liquidity of the trading market for any Warrants or that a trading market for these securities will develop.
There will be no market for the Units.
We have not applied and do not intend to apply to list the Units on any securities exchange. There will be no market through which Units may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell Units purchased in any Offering. If the Units are traded after their initial issue, they may trade at a discount from their initial offering prices depending on the market conditions, prevailing interest rates and other factors, including general economic conditions and our financial condition. There can be no assurance as to the liquidity of the trading market for the Units or that a trading market for such Units will develop.

Our authorized share capital consists of an unlimited number of Common Shares with no par value of which 31,150,237 were issued and outstanding as at March 31, 2019.

The holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive notice of and to attend all annual and special meetings of our shareholders and to one vote in respect of each Common Share held at the record date for each such meeting. The holders of Common Shares are entitled, at the discretion of the Board, to receive out of any or all of our profits or surplus properly available for the payment of dividends, any dividend declared by the Board and payable by us on the Common Shares. The holders of the Common Shares will participate  pro rata  in any distribution of our assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up or other distribution of our assets. Such participation will be subject to the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attached to any of our securities issued and outstanding at such time ranking in priority to the Common Shares upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up. Common Shares are issued, on authorization and approval from the Board, from treasury without par value and only as fully paid and are non-assessable. Common Shares will only be issued through the book-based system administered by CDS in Canada and by DTC in the United States, except in limited circumstances.

MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION
Incorporation

We are an Ontario corporation, being the successor corporation formed pursuant to an amalgamation under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “ OBCA ”) on July 28, 2008.
  Objects and Purposes of the Company
Our articles do not contain and are not required to contain a description of our objects and purposes. There is no restriction contained in our articles on the business that we may carry on.
Voting on Certain Proposal, Arrangement, Contract or Compensation by Directors

Other than as disclosed below, neither our articles nor our corporate by-laws restrict our directors’ power to (a) vote on a proposal, arrangement or contract in which the directors are materially interested or (b) to vote with regard to compensation payable to themselves or any other members of their body in the absence of an independent quorum.
Our corporate by-laws provide that a director or officer who: (a) is a party to; or (b) is a director or an officer of, or has a material interest in, any person who is a party to; a material contract or transaction or proposed material contract or transaction with us shall disclose the nature and extent of such director’s or officer’s interest at the time and in the manner provided by the OBCA. Any such contract or transaction or proposed material contract or transaction shall be referred to our Board or shareholders for approval in accordance with the OBCA even if such contract or proposed material contract or transaction is one that in the ordinary course of our business would not require approval by our Board or shareholders, and a director interested in a contract or transaction so referred to our Board shall not attend any part of a meeting of our Board during which the contract or transaction is discussed and shall not vote on any resolution to approve such contract or transaction except as provided by the OBCA.
Subject to our articles and any unanimous shareholder agreement, our directors shall be paid such remuneration for their services as our Board may from time to time determine. Our directors shall also be entitled to be reimbursed for travelling and other expenses properly incurred by them in attending meetings of our Board or any committee thereof.
The OBCA provides that a director who holds a disclosable interest in a contract or transaction into which we have entered or propose to enter shall not attend any part of a meeting of directors during which the contract or transaction is discussed and shall not vote on any resolution to approve the contract or transaction unless it is a contract or transaction: (i) relating primarily to such director’s remuneration as a director of the company or one of our affiliates; (ii) for indemnity or insurance for the benefit of such director in his/her capacity as a director; or (iii) with one of our affiliates.
A director or officer who holds a disclosable interest in a contract or transaction into which we have entered or propose to enter is not accountable to us or our shareholders for any profit or gain realized from the contract or transaction and the contract or transaction is neither void nor voidable by reason only of that relationship or by reason only that the director is present at or is counted to determine the presence of a quorum at the meeting of directors that authorized the contract or transaction, if the director or officer disclosed his or her interest in accordance with the OBCA and the contract or transaction was reasonable and fair to us at the time it was approved.

The OBCA provides that a director or officer generally holds a disclosable interest in a contract or transaction if either (a) the director or officer is a party to the contract or transaction with us or a proposed contract or transaction with us, and such contract or transaction is material to us; or (b) the director or officer is a director or an officer of, or has a material interest in, any person who is a party to a material contract or transaction or proposed material contract or transaction with us.
14

Borrowing Powers of Directors

Our articles and corporate by-laws provide that, if authorized by our directors, we may:
borrow money upon our credit;
   
issue sell or pledge debt obligations (including bonds, debentures, notes or other similar obligations, secured or unsecured) of the Company; and
   
   
charge, mortgage, hypothecate, pledge all or any of the currently owned or subsequently acquired real or personal, movable or immovable, property of the Company, including book debts, rights, powers, franchises and undertakings, to secure any debt obligations or money borrowed, or other debt or liability of the Company.
Amendment to the borrowing powers described above requires an amendment to our articles and corporate by-laws. Our articles and corporate by-laws do not contain any provisions in connection with amending the by-laws. The OBCA provides that our Board may by resolution, make, amend or repeal any by-laws that regulate our business and affairs and that our Board will submit such by-law, amendment or repeal to our shareholders at the next meeting of shareholders and the shareholders may, by ordinary resolution, confirm, reject or amend the by-law, amendment or repeal.
Qualifications of Directors

Under our articles and corporate by-laws, a director is not required to hold a share in our capital as qualification for his or her office but must be qualified as required by the OBCA to become, act or continue to act as a director. The OBCA provides that the following persons are disqualified from being a director of a corporation: (i) a person who is less than 18 years of age; (ii) a person who has been found under the Substitute Decisions Act, 1992 or under the Mental Health Act to be incapable of managing property or who has been found to be incapable by a court in Canada or elsewhere; (iii) a person who is not an individual; and (iv) a person who has the status of a bankrupt.
Subject to the OBCA, at least 25% of the directors must be resident Canadians. If we have less than four directors, at least one director must be a resident Canadian.
Share Rights
See the discussion in the section of this prospectus entitled “Description of Share Capital” for a summary of our authorized capital and the rights attached to our common shares.
Procedures to Change the Rights of Shareholders

The rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to our shares are contained in our articles and such rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions may be changed by amending our articles. In order to amend our articles, the OBCA requires a resolution to be passed by a majority of not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by the shareholders entitled to vote thereon. In addition, if we resolve to make particular types of amendments to our articles, a holder of our shares may dissent with regard to such resolution and, if such shareholder so elects, we would have to pay such shareholder the fair value of the shares held by the shareholder in respect of which the shareholder dissents as of the close of business on the day before the resolution was adopted. The types of amendments that would be subject to dissent rights include without limitation: (i) to add, remove or change restrictions on the issue, transfer or ownership of shares of a class or series of our shares; and (ii) to add, remove or change any restriction upon the business that we may carry on or upon the powers that we may exercise.
15

Meetings
Each director holds office until our next annual general meeting or until his office is earlier vacated in accordance with our articles or with the provisions of the OBCA. A director appointed or elected to fill a vacancy on our board also holds office until our next annual general meeting.
Annual meetings of our shareholders must be held at such time in each year not more than 15 months after the last annual meeting, as our Board may determine. Notice of the time and place of a meeting of shareholders must be sent not less than twenty-one days and not more than fifty days, before the meeting.
Meetings of our shareholders shall be held at our registered office or, if our Board shall so determine, at some other place in Ontario or, at some place outside Ontario if all the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting so agree.
Our Board, the chair of our Board or our chief executive officer shall have power to call a special meeting of our shareholders at any time.
The OBCA provides that our shareholders may requisition a special meeting in accordance with the OBCA. The OBCA provides that the holders of not less than five percent of our issued shares that carry the right to vote at a meeting may requisition our directors to call a special meeting of shareholders for the purposes stated in the requisition.
Under our by-laws, the quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of our shareholders is one person, present in person or by proxy and holding in aggregate not less than 20% of our issued shares entitled to vote at such meeting.
Limitations on Ownership of Securities

There is no limitation imposed by the laws of Canada or by the Company’s constating documents on the right of a non-resident to hold or vote the Common Shares, other than as provided in the Investment Canada Act . The following discussion summarizes the principal features of the Investment Canada Act for a non-resident who proposes to acquire the Common Shares.
The Investment Canada Act requires each "non-Canadian" (as defined in the Investment Canada Act ) who acquires "control" of an existing "Canadian business", where the acquisition of control is not a reviewable transaction, to file a notification in prescribed form with the responsible federal government department or departments not later than 30 days after closing. Subject to certain exemptions, a transaction that is reviewable under the Investment Canada Act may not be implemented until an application for review has been filed and the responsible Minister of the federal cabinet has determined that the investment is likely to be of "net benefit to Canada" taking into account certain factors set out in the Investment Canada Act .
Under the Investment Canada Act , an investment in the Company’s Common Shares by a non-Canadian who is a World Trade Organization member country investor that is not a state-owned enterprise, would be reviewable only if it were an investment to acquire control of the Company pursuant to the Investment Canada Act and the enterprise value of the Company’s assets (as determined pursuant to the Investment Canada Act and its regulations) was equal to or greater than CAD $1.045 billion, or CAD $1.568 billion in the case of a “trade agreement investor”. The Investment Canada Act contains various rules to determine if there has been an acquisition of control. For example, for purposes of determining whether an investor has acquired control of a corporation by acquiring shares, the following general rules apply, subject to certain exceptions: the acquisition of a majority of the undivided ownership interests in the voting shares of the corporation is deemed to be an acquisition of control of that corporation; the acquisition of less than a majority, but one-third or more, of the voting shares of a corporation or of an equivalent undivided ownership interest in the voting shares of the corporation is presumed to be an acquisition of control of that corporation unless it can be established that, on the acquisition, the corporation is not controlled in fact by the acquirer through the ownership of voting shares; and the acquisition of less than one third of the voting shares of a corporation or of an equivalent undivided ownership interest in the voting shares of the corporation is deemed not to be an acquisition of control of that corporation.
16

Under the Investment Canada Act , a national security review on a discretionary basis may also be undertaken by the federal government with respect to any investment by a non-Canadian to "acquire, in whole or part, or to establish an entity carrying on all or any part of its operations in Canada." No financial threshold applies to a national security review. The relevant test is whether the investment by a non-Canadian could be "injurious to national security." Review on national security grounds may occur on a pre- or post-closing basis.
Certain transactions relating to the Company’s Common Shares will generally be exempt from the Investment Canada Act , subject to the federal government's prerogative to conduct a national security review, including:
(1) the acquisition of the Company’s Common Shares by a person in the ordinary course of that person's business as a trader or dealer in securities;
(2) the acquisition of control of the Company in connection with the realization of security granted for a loan or other financial assistance and not for any purpose related to the provisions of the Investment Canada Act ; and
(3) the acquisition of control of the Company by reason of an amalgamation, merger, consolidation or corporate reorganization following which the ultimate direct or indirect control in fact of the Company, through ownership of the Company’s Common Shares, remains unchanged.
Change in Control

There are no provisions in our articles or by-laws that would have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company, and that would operate only with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring involving the Company or our subsidiaries.
Ownership Threshold

Neither our by-laws nor our articles contain any provisions governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed. In addition, securities legislation in Canada requires that we disclose in our proxy information circular for our annual meeting and certain other disclosure documents filed by us under such legislation, holders who beneficially own more than 10% of our issued and outstanding shares.
Differences in Corporate Law

We are governed by the OBCA, which is generally similar to laws applicable to United States corporations. Significant differences between the OBCA and the Delaware General Corporate Law, or DGCL, which governs companies incorporated in the State of Delaware, include the following:
Board of Director Quorum and Vote Requirements
   
Delaware
 
Ontario
   
Under the DGCL, a majority of the total number of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business unless the certificate or bylaws require a greater number. The bylaws may lower the number required for a quorum to one-third the number of directors, but no less.
 
Under the OBCA, subject to an Ontario corporation’s articles or bylaws, a majority of the number of directors or minimum number of directors required by the articles constitutes a quorum at any meeting of directors. Where a corporation has fewer than three directors, all directors must be present at any meeting to constitute a quorum.
     
Under the DGCL, the board of directors may take action by the majority vote of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present unless the certificate of incorporation or bylaws require a greater vote.
 
Under the OBCA, subject to an Ontario corporation’s articles or bylaws, where there is a vacancy or vacancies in the board of directors, the remaining directors may exercise all the powers of the board so long as a quorum of the board remains in office.
   

17

Transactions with Directors and Officers
   
   
Delaware
 
Ontario
   
The DGCL generally provides that no transaction between a corporation and one or more of its directors or officers, or between a corporation and any other corporation or other organization in which one or more of its directors or officers, are directors or officers, or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the board or committee which authorizes the transaction, or solely because any such director’s or officer’s votes are counted for such purpose, if (i) the material facts as to the director’s or officer’s interest and as to the transaction are known to the board of directors or the committee, and the board or committee in good faith authorizes the transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors be less than a quorum (ii) the material facts as to the director’s or officer’s interest and as to the transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the stockholders; or (iii) the transaction is fair as to the Company as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified, by the board of directors, a committee or the stockholders.
 
The OBCA requires that a director or officer of a corporation who is: (i) a party to a material contract or transaction or proposed material contract or transaction with the Company; or (ii) a director or an officer of, or has a material interest in, any person who is a party to a material contract to or transaction or proposed material contract or transaction with the Company shall disclose in writing to the Company or request to have entered in the minutes of meetings of directors the nature and extent of his or her interest. An interested director is prohibited from attending the part of the meeting during which the contract or transaction is discussed and is prohibited from voting on a resolution to approve the contract or transaction except in specific circumstances, such as a contract or transaction relating primarily to his or her remuneration as a director, a contract or transaction for indemnification or liability insurance of the director, or a contract or transaction with an affiliate of the Company. If a director or officer has disclosed his or her interest in accordance with the OBCA and the contract or transaction was reasonable and fair to the Company at the time it was approved, the director or officer is not accountable to the Company or its shareholders for any profit or gain realized from the contract or transaction and the contract or transaction is neither void nor voidable by reason only of the interest of the director or officer or that the director is present at or is counted to determine the presence of a quorum at the meeting of directors that authorized the contract or transaction.
   
   
The OBCA further provides that even if a director or officer does not disclose his or her interest in accordance with the OBCA, or (in the case of a director) votes in respect of a resolution on a contract or transaction in which he or she is interested contrary to the OBCA, if the director or officer acted honestly and in good faith and the contract or transaction was reasonable and fair to the Company at the time it was approved, the director or officer is not accountable to the Company or to its shareholders for any profit or gain realized from the contract or transaction by reason only of his or her holding the office of the director or officer and the contract or transaction is not by reason only of the director’s or officer’s interest therein void or voidable, if the contract or transaction has been confirmed or approved by the shareholders by special resolution, on the basis of disclosure in reasonable detail of the nature and extent of the director’s or officer’s interest in the notice of meeting or management information circular.

18

 Call and Notice of Stockholder Meetings
   
   
Delaware
 
Ontario
   
Under the DGCL, an annual or special stockholder meeting is held on such date, at such time and at such place as may be designated by the board of directors or any other person authorized to call such meeting under the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws. If an annual meeting for election of directors is not held on the date designated or an action by written consent to elect directors in lieu of an annual meeting has not been taken within 30 days after the date designated for the annual meeting, or if no date has been designated, for a period of 13 months after the later of the last annual meeting or the last action by written consent to elect directors in lieu of an annual meeting, the Delaware Court of Chancery may summarily order a meeting to be held upon the application of any stockholder or director.
 
Under the OBCA, the directors of a corporation are required to call an annual meeting of shareholders no later than fifteen months after holding the last preceding annual meeting. Under the OBCA, the directors of a corporation may call a special meeting at any time. In addition, holders of not less than five percent of the issued shares of a corporation that carry the right to vote at a meeting sought to be held may requisition the directors to call a meeting of shareholders.
Stockholder Action by Written Consent
 
Delaware
 
Ontario
   
Under the DGCL, a majority of the stockholders of a corporation may act by written consent without a meeting unless such action is prohibited by the Company’s certificate of incorporation.
 
Under the OBCA, a written resolution signed by all the shareholders of a corporation who would have been entitled to vote on the resolution at a meeting is effective to approve the resolution.
 
     
Stockholder Nominations and Proposals
   
   
Delaware
 
Ontario
   
Not applicable.
 
Under the OBCA, a shareholder entitled to vote at a shareholders’ meeting may submit a shareholder proposal relating to matters which the shareholder wishes to propose and discuss at a shareholders’ meeting and, subject to such shareholder’s compliance with the prescribed time periods and other requirements of the OBCA pertaining to shareholder proposals, the Company is required to include such proposal in the information circular pertaining to any meeting at which it solicits proxies, subject to certain exceptions. Notice of such a proposal must be provided to the Company at least 60 days before the anniversary date of the last annual shareholders’ meeting, or at least 60 days before any other meeting at which the matter is proposed to be raised.
   
   
In addition, the OBCA requires that any shareholder proposal that includes nominations for the election of directors must be signed by one or more holders of shares representing in the aggregate not less than five per cent of the shares or five per cent of the shares of a class or series of shares of the Company entitled to vote at the meeting to which the proposal is to be presented.
19

Stockholder Quorum and Vote Requirements
 
   
Delaware
 
Ontario
   
Under the DGCL, quorum for a stock corporation is a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting unless the certificate of incorporation or bylaws specify a different quorum, but in no event may a quorum be less than one-third of the shares entitled to vote. Unless the DGCL, certificate of incorporation or bylaws provide for a greater vote, generally the required vote under the DGCL is a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy, except for the election of directors which requires a plurality of the votes cast.
 
Under the OBCA, unless the bylaws otherwise provide, the holders of a majority of the shares of an OBCA corporation entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders, whether present in person or represented by proxy, constitute a quorum.
 
Amendment of Governing Instrument
 
   
Delaware
 
Ontario
   
Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation . Generally, under the DGCL, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding stock entitled to vote is required to approve a proposed amendment to the certificate of incorporation, following the adoption of the amendment by the board of directors of the Company, provided that the certificate of incorporation may provide for a greater vote. Under the DGCL, holders of outstanding shares of a class or series are entitled to vote separately on an amendment to the certificate of incorporation if the amendment would have certain consequences, including changes that adversely affect the rights and preferences of such class or series.
 
Amendment of Articles . Under the OBCA, amendments to the articles of incorporation generally require the approval of not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote on the resolution.
   
Amendment of Bylaws . Under the DGCL, after a corporation has received any payment for any of its stock, the power to adopt, amend or repeal bylaws shall be vested in the stockholders entitled to vote; provided, however, that any corporation nay, in its certificate of incorporation, provide that bylaws may be adopted, amended or repealed by the board of directors. The fact that such power has been conferred upon the board of directors shall not divest the stockholders of the power nor limit their power to adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws.
 
Amendment of Bylaws . Under the OBCA, the directors may, by resolution, make, amend or repeal any bylaws that regulate the business or affairs of a corporation and they must submit the bylaw, amendment or repeal to the shareholders at the next meeting of shareholders, and the shareholders may confirm, reject or amend the bylaw, amendment or repeal.
   
Votes on Mergers, Consolidations and Sales of Assets
   
   
Delaware
 
Ontario
   
The DGCL provides that, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws, the adoption of a merger agreement requires the approval of a majority of the outstanding stock of the Company entitled to vote thereon.
 
Under the OBCA, the approval of at least two-thirds of votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote on the resolution is required for extraordinary corporate actions. Extraordinary corporate actions include: amalgamations; continuances; sales, leases or exchanges of all or substantially all of the property of a corporation; liquidations and dissolutions.
   

20

Dissenter’s Rights of Appraisal
   
   
Delaware
 
Ontario
   
Under the DGCL, a stockholder of a Delaware corporation generally has the right to dissent flume, merger or consolidation in which the Delaware corporation is participating, subject to specified procedural requirements, including that such dissenting stockholder does not vote in favor of the merger or consolidation. However, the DGCL does not confer appraisal rights, in certain circumstances, including if the dissenting stockholder owns shares traded on a national securities exchange and will receive publicly traded shares in the merger or consolidation. Under the DGCL, a stockholder asserting appraisal rights does not receive any payment for his or her shares until the court determines the fair value or the parties otherwise agree to a value. The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the court and assessed against the parties as the court deems equitable under the circumstances.
 
Under the OBCA each of the following matters listed will entitle shareholders to exorcise rights of dissent and to be paid the fair value of their shares: (i) any amalgamation with another corporation (other than with certain affiliated corporations); (ii) an amendment to the Company’s articles to add, change or remove any provisions restricting the issue, transfer or ownership of that class of shares; (iii) an amendment to the Company’s articles to add, change or remove any restriction upon the business or businesses that the Company may carry on; (iv) a continuance under the laws of another jurisdiction; (v) a sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all the property of the Company other than in the ordinary course of business; and (vi) where a court order permits a shareholder to dissent in connection with an application to the court for an order approving an arrangement.
 
However, a shareholder is not entitled to dissent if an amendment to the articles is effected by a court order approving a reorganization or by a court order made in connection with an action for an oppression remedy, unless otherwise authorized by the court. The OBCA provides these dissent rights for both listed and unlisted shares.
 
Under the OBCA, a shareholder may, in addition to exercising dissent rights, seek an oppression remedy for any act or omission of a corporation which is oppressive or unfairly prejudicial to or that unfairly disregards a shareholder’s interests.
 
   
Change of Control Restrictions
   
   
Delaware
 
Ontario
   
Unless an issuer opts out of the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL, Section 203 generally prohibits a public Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with a holder of 15% or more of the Company’s voting stock (as defined in Section 203), referred to as an interested stockholder, for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the interested stockholder became an interested stockholder, except as otherwise provided in Section 203. For these purposes, the term “business combination” includes mergers, assets sales and other similar transactions with an interested stockholder.
 
While the OBCA does not contain specific anti- takeover provisions with respect to “business combinations”, roles and policies of certain Canadian securities regulatory authorities, including Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”), contain requirements in connection with, among other things, ‘related party transactions” and “business combinations”, including, among other things, any transaction by which an issuer directly or indirectly engages in the following with a related party: acquires, sells, leases or transfers an asset, acquires the related party, acquires or issues treasury securities, amends the terms of a security if the security is owned by the related party or assumes or becomes subject to a liability or takes certain other actions with respect to debt.
 
21

     
   
The term “related party” includes directors, senior officers and holders of more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all outstanding voting securities of the issuer or holders of a sufficient number of any securities of the issuer to materially affect control of the issuer.
   
   
MI 61-101 requires, subject to certain exceptions, the preparation of a formal valuation relating to certain aspects of the transaction and more detailed disclosure in the proxy material sent to security holders in connection with a related party transaction including related to the valuation. MI 61-101 also requires, subject to certain exceptions, that an issuer not engage in a related party transaction unless the shareholders of the issuer, other than the related parties, approve the transaction by a simple majority of the votes cast.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Unless otherwise specified in a Prospectus Supplement, the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities will be used to continue developing our single-port robotic surgical system, to prepare our regulatory filings in anticipation of commercialization and for general corporate purposes, including funding working capital, potential future acquisitions and capital expenditures.

We anticipate the successful completion of prerequisite live animal and human cadaver studies early in the third quarter of 2019, and plan to file our IDE application with the FDA by the end of the third quarter of 2019. Although timing of our IDE application approval by the FDA, and Institutional Review Board approvals by each IDE hospital site, cannot be precisely known, we continue to target the filing of a 510(k) application with the FDA by year end 2019.

As a result of this timeline, over the course of the next two quarters, ending September 30 and December 31, 2019, we approximate our cash needs to be $25.7 million and $16.6 million respectively. We estimate that this capital will be sufficient for us to fund our operations through to December 31, 2019, which is the target date for filing our 510(k) application with the FDA.

Anticipated Use of Funding for Third Quarter of 2019

During the third quarter of 2019, we expect to use $25.7 million to complete the following milestones:
Complete and document preclinical live animal (swine) and cadaver studies according to final protocols for FDA submittal;
Submit IDE application to FDA;
Obtain ISO 13485 Certification; and
Receive IDE approval from FDA.

Anticipated Use of Funding for Fourth Quarter of 2019

During the fourth quarter of 2019, we expect to use $16.6 million to complete the following milestones:
Complete and document human confirmatory studies under IDE protocol for FDA submittal;

22

Submit Technical File to European Notified Body for CE Mark; and
Submit 510(k) application to FDA.

Anticipated Use of Funding for the Year 2020

We expect that, given the complexity of our robotic surgical system and the approval process for similar systems, it could take approximately six months to receive final 510(k) clearance from the FDA.  During the first and second quarters of 2020, our investment in research and development will diminish significantly as we transition to manufacturing and approach commercialization. We approximate our cash requirements to be $6.1 and $3.3 million respectively in the first and second quarters of 2020. These funds will be used in connection with preparation for manufacturing and commercialization of our robotic surgical system.

Following receipt of FDA 510(k) clearance, which we project to occur during the third quarter of 2020, we plan to commence commercialization, with initial revenue anticipated to begin during the third or fourth quarter of 2020.
Each Prospectus Supplement will contain further specific information concerning the use of proceeds from the sale of Securities covered in such Prospectus Supplement, and may modify and supersede the expected use of proceeds disclosed in this Prospectus to the extent subsequently required in light of the timeline for achievement of the milestones indicated above. All expenses relating to an Offering of Securities and any compensation paid to underwriters, dealers or agents, as the case may be, will be paid out of our general funds, unless otherwise stated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
We may sell the Securities, separately or together, to or through underwriters or dealers purchasing as principals for public offering and sale by them, and also may sell Securities to one or more other purchasers directly or through agents.  Each Prospectus Supplement will set forth the terms of the Offering, including the name or names of any underwriters or agents, if any, the purchase price or prices of the Securities and the proceeds we will receive from the sale of the Securities.
 
The Securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices which may be changed or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices 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.  The prices at which the Securities may be offered may vary as between purchasers and during the period of distribution.  If, in connection with the Offering of Securities at a fixed price or prices, the underwriters, if any, have made a bona fide effort to sell all of the Securities at the initial offering price fixed in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the public offering price may be decreased and thereafter further changed, from time to time, to an amount not greater than the initial public offering price fixed in such Prospectus Supplement, in which case the compensation realized by the underwriters will be decreased by the amount that the aggregate price paid by purchasers for the Securities is less than the gross proceeds paid to us by the underwriters.
 
Underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of the Securities may be entitled under agreements to be entered into with us to indemnification by us against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 and 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, us in the ordinary course of business.
 
In connection with any Offering of Securities, except as otherwise set out in a Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular Offering of Securities, the underwriters may over-allot or effect transactions intended to maintain or stabilize the market price of the Securities offered at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market.  Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
 
Common Shares
 
We may issue Common Shares.  Shares may be offered separately or together with other Securities and may be attached to or separate from any other Securities.  See “Description of Share Capital” for a description of the general terms that will apply to any Shares issued pursuant to this Prospectus.  The Shares to be issued in connection with any Offering hereunder will be authorized by our Board at such time as the Board determines to conduct an Offering hereunder.
 
Warrants
 
We may issue Warrants to purchase Shares.  This section describes the general terms that will apply to any Warrants issued pursuant to this Prospectus.  Warrants may be offered separately or together with other Securities and may be attached to or separate from any other Securities.
 
Each series of Warrants may be issued under a separate warrant indenture to be entered into between us and one or more banks or trust companies acting as Warrant agent.  The Warrant agent will act solely as our agent and will not assume a relationship of agency with any holders of Warrant certificates or beneficial owners of Warrants.
 
The applicable Prospectus Supplement will include details of the warrant indentures, if any, governing the Warrants being offered.  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 out in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.  The Prospectus Supplement relating to any Warrants we offer will describe the Warrants and the specific terms relating to the Offering.  The description will include, where applicable:

 
the designation and aggregate number of Warrants;
   
 
the price at which the Warrants will be offered;
   
 
the currency or currencies in which the Warrants will be offered;
   
 
the date on which the right to exercise the Warrants will commence and the date on which the right will expire;
   
 
the designation, number and terms of the Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of the Warrants, and the procedures that will result in the adjustment of those numbers;
   
 
the exercise price of the Warrants and any provisions for changes or adjustments in the exercise price;
   
 
the designation and  terms of the Securities, if any, with which the Warrants will be offered, and the number of Warrants that will be offered with each Security;
   
 
if the Warrants are issued as a Unit with another Security, the date, if any, 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;
   
 
any terms, procedures and limitations relating to the transferability, exchange or exercise of the Warrants;
   

24

 
whether the Warrants will be subject to redemption or call and, if so, the terms of such redemption or call provisions;
   
 
as applicable, material United States and Canadian federal income tax consequences of owning the Warrants; and
   
 
any other material terms or conditions of the Warrants.

Warrant certificates will be exchangeable for new Warrant certificates of different denominations at the office indicated in the Prospectus Supplement.  Prior to the exercise of their Warrants, holders of Warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of Shares. We may amend the warrant indenture(s), if any, and the Warrants, without the consent of the holders of the Warrants, to cure any ambiguity, to cure, correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision, or in any other manner that will not prejudice the rights of the holders of outstanding Warrants, as a group.
 
We have not applied and do not intend to apply to list the Warrants on any securities exchange. There will be no market through which the Warrants may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell the Warrants purchased in the Offering. This may affect the pricing of the Warrants in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the Warrants, and the extent of issuer regulation.

Units
 
We may issue Units, which may consist of one or more Shares, Warrants or any combination of Securities as is specified in the relevant Prospectus Supplement.  In addition, the relevant Prospectus Supplement relating to an Offering of Units will describe all material terms of any Units offered, including, as applicable:

 
the designation and aggregate number of Units being offered;
   
 
the price at which the Units will be offered;
   
 
the designation, number and terms of the Securities comprising the Units and any agreement governing the Units;
   
 
the date or dates, if any, on or after which the Securities comprising the Units will be transferable separately;
   
 
whether we will apply to list the Units on any exchange;
   
 
material income tax consequences of owning the Units, including how the purchase price paid for the Units will be allocated among the Securities comprising the Units; and
   
 
any other material terms or conditions of the Units.


TRADING
 
The Common Shares are listed for trading in Canada on the TSX under the symbol “TMD”. The Common Shares are also traded on the Nasdaq in the United States under the symbol “TMDI”.

DILUTION
Purchasers of Securities in an Offering may suffer immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share of Common Shares. Dilution in net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the amount per Share paid by purchasers in an Offering and the net tangible book value per share of Common Shares immediately after an Offering.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. 
MATERIAL CONTRACTS
 
There are no material contracts to which we are a party other than contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business.
 
EXCHANGE CONTROLS
 
There are no governmental laws, decrees, regulations or other legislation, including foreign exchange controls, in Canada which may affect the export or import of capital or that may affect the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to non-resident holders of the Company's securities. Any remittances of dividends to United States residents, however, are subject to a withholding tax pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the Canada-U.S. Income Tax Convention (1980), each as amended. Remittances of interest to U.S. residents entitled to the benefits of such Convention are generally not subject to withholding taxes except in limited circumstances involving participating interest payments. Certain other types of remittances, such as royalties paid to U.S. residents, may be subject to a withholding tax depending on all of the circumstances.
26

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 8.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), we may indemnify a director or officer of the Company, a former director or officer of the Company or another individual who acts or acted at the Company's request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity (each of the foregoing, an "individual"), against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the individual in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which the individual is involved because of that association with the Company or other entity, on the condition that (i) such individual acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company or, as the case may be, to the best interests of the other entity for which the individual acted as a director or officer or in a similar capacity at the Company's request; and (ii) if the matter is a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the Company shall not indemnify the individual unless the individual had reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful.
Further, we may, with the approval of a court, indemnify an individual in respect of an action by or on behalf of the Company or other entity to obtain a judgment in its favor, to which the individual is made a party because of the individual's association with the Company or other entity as a director or officer, a former director or officer, an individual who acts or acted at the Company’s request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, against all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by the individual in connection with such action, if the individual fulfills the conditions in (i) and (ii) above. Such individuals are entitled to indemnification from the Company in respect of all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by the individual in connection with the defense of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding to which the individual is subject because of the individual's association with the Company or other entity as described above, provided the individual seeking an indemnity: (A) was not judged by a court or other competent authority to have committed any fault or omitted to do anything that the individual ought to have done; and (B) fulfills the conditions in (i) and (ii) above.
Our by-laws provide that, Subject to the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), the Company shall indemnify a director or officer of the Company, a former director or officer of the Company or another individual who acts or acted at the Company's request as a director or officer, or an individual acting in a similar capacity, of another entity, and such person's heirs and legal representatives, against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the individual in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which the individual is involved because of that association with the Company or other entity, if: (i) the individual acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company or, as the case may be, to the best interest of the other entity for which the individual acted as a director or officer or in a similar capacity at the Company's request and (ii) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the person had reasonable grounds for believing that the individual's conduct was lawful.
The Company 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 Company in their capacity as directors and officers and also reimburses the Company for payments made pursuant to the indemnity provisions under the by-laws of the Registrant and the Business Corporations Act  (Ontario).

Item 10. Undertakings

(a)              The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
 
 
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form F-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

 
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 
(4)
To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A. of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 need not be furnished, provided, that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (a)(4) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to registration statements on Form F-3, a post-effective amendment need not be filed to include financial statements and information required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 or Rule 3-19 of Regulation S-X if such financial statements and information are contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Form F-3.

 
(5)
That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

         
 (i)
Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

 
(ii)
Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
  
 
(6)
That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:

The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 
(i)
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 
(ii)
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 
(iii)
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 
(iv)
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(b)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
   
(c)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supplement the prospectus, after the expiration of the subscription period, to set forth the results of the subscription offer, the transactions by the underwriters during the subscription period, the amount of unsubscribed securities to be purchased by the underwriters, and the terms of any subsequent reoffering thereof. If any public offering by the underwriters is to be made on terms differing from those set forth on the cover page of the prospectus, a post-effective amendment will be filed to set forth the terms of such offering.

(d)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

4.                 DIRECTORS
4.1   Number of Directors and Quorum – Subject to the articles, the Board shall consist of the number of directors specified in the articles, except that if the articles provide for a minimum and maximum number of directors, the board shall consist of the number of directors determined from time to time by a special resolution of the shareholders (or, if the directors are empowered by a special resolution to determine the number, by a resolution of the Board) within such minimum and maximum.  Subject to Section 4.18, a majority of the number of directors so specified or determined shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of the Board.

4.2   Qualification - No person shall be qualified for election as a director:

4.2.1
if the person is less than 18 years of age;
   
4.2.2
if the person has been found under the Substitute Decisions Act , 1992 (Ontario) or under the Mental Health Act (Ontario) to be incapable of managing property or who has been found to be incapable by a court in Canada or elsewhere;
   
4.2.3
if the person is not an individual; or
   
4.2.4
if the person has the status of a bankrupt.

Subject to the articles, a director need not be a shareholder.  Subject to the Act, at least 25% of the directors must be resident Canadians.  If the Corporation has less than four directors, at least one director must be a resident Canadian.
4.3   Election and Term - The election of directors shall take place at the first meeting of shareholders and at each annual meeting of shareholders and all the directors then in office shall retire but, if qualified, shall be eligible for re-election.  The election shall be by resolution.  If an election of directors is not held at the proper time, the incumbent directors shall continue in office until their successors are elected.
4.4   Removal of Directors - Subject to the Act, the shareholders may by ordinary resolution passed at an annual or special meeting remove any director from office and the vacancy created by such removal may be filled at the same meeting failing which it may be filled by the Board.
4.5   Vacation of Office - A director ceases to hold office when such director: (a) dies or, subject to the Act, resigns; (b) is removed from office by the shareholders in accordance with the Act; or (c) ceases to be qualified for election as a director in accordance with the Act.  A resignation of a director becomes effective at the time a written resignation is sent or delivered to the Corporation or the time specified in such resignation, whichever is later.
4.6   Vacancies - Subject to the Act and the articles, a quorum of the Board may fill a vacancy in the Board, except a vacancy resulting from:
4.6.1
an increase in the number of directors, unless the directors are authorized to determine the number of directors and the appointment of an additional director would not result in a total number of directors greater than one and one-third times the number of directors required to have been elected at the last annual meeting of shareholders;

4.6.2
an increase in the maximum number of directors; or
   
4.6.3
a failure of the shareholders to elect the number of directors required to be elected at any meeting of shareholders.
In the absence of a quorum of the Board, or if the vacancy has arisen from a failure of the shareholders to elect the number of directors required to be elected at any meeting of shareholders, the Board shall forthwith call a special meeting of shareholders to fill the vacancy.  If the Board fails to call such meeting or if there are no directors then in office, any shareholder may call the meeting.
4.7   Action by the Board - Subject to any unanimous shareholder agreement, the Board shall manage, or supervise the management of, the business and affairs of the Corporation.  Subject to Section 4.8, the powers of the Board may be exercised by resolution passed at a meeting at which a quorum is present or by resolution in writing signed by all the directors entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of the Board.  Where there is a vacancy in the Board, the remaining directors may exercise all the powers of the Board so long as a quorum remains in office.  Where the Corporation has only one director, that director may constitute a meeting.

4.8   Meeting by Communications Facilities - If all the directors of the Corporation consent, a meeting of the Board or of a committee of the Board may be held by means of such telephone, electronic or other communications facilities as permit all persons participating in the meeting to communicate with each other simultaneously and instantaneously, and a director participating in such a meeting by such means is deemed to be present at the meeting.  Any such consent shall be effective whether given before or after the meeting to which it relates and may be given with respect to all meetings of the Board and committees of the Board.  If a majority of directors participating in a meeting held under this Section are then in Canada, the meeting shall be deemed to be held in Canada.

4.13              Adjourned Meeting - Notice of an adjourned meeting of the Board is not required if the time and place of the adjourned meeting is announced at the original meeting.

4.14              Regular Meetings - The Board may appoint a day or days in any month or months for regular meetings of the Board at a place and hour to be named.  A copy of any resolution of the Board fixing the place and time of such regular meetings shall be sent to each director forthwith after being passed, but no other notice shall be required for any such regular meeting except where the Act requires the purpose thereof or the business to be transacted thereat to be specified.

4.15              Meetings Without Notice .   A meeting of the Board may be held at any time and place permitted by the Act or the articles or the by-laws without notice or on shorter notice than that provided for in this by-law, and proceedings at such meeting shall not be invalidated if all or if all the directors are present in person (except where a director attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the grounds that the meeting is not lawfully called) or if not so present have received notice, or before or after the meeting or the time prescribed for the notice of such meeting, in writing waive notice of or accept short notice of such meeting.

4.16              Chairman - The chairman of any meeting of the Board shall be the first mentioned of such of the following officers as have been appointed and who is a director and is present at the meeting: chairman of the Board, chief executive officer, president, or a vice-president.  If no such officer is present, the directors present shall choose one of their number to be chairman.

4.17              Votes to Govern - At all meetings of the Board every question shall be decided by a majority of the votes cast on the question of those directors entitled to vote.  In case of an equality of votes the chairman of the meeting shall not be entitled to a second or casting vote.

4.18.1
is a party to; or
4.18.2
is a director or an officer of, or has a material interest in, any person who is a party to;
a material contract or transaction or proposed material contract or transaction with the Corporation shall disclose the nature and extent of such director's or officer's interest at the time and in the manner provided by the Act.  Any such contract or transaction or proposed material contract or transaction shall be referred to the Board or shareholders for approval in accordance with the Act even if such contract or proposed material contract or transaction is one that in the ordinary course of the Corporation's business would not require approval by the Board or shareholders, and a director interested in a contract or transaction so referred to the Board shall not attend any part of a meeting of the Board during which the contract or transaction is discussed and shall not vote on any resolution to approve such contract or transaction except as provided by the Act.

4.19   Remuneration and Expenses - Subject to the articles and any unanimous shareholder agreement, the directors shall be paid such remuneration for their services as the Board may from time to time determine.  The directors shall also be entitled to be reimbursed for travelling and other expenses properly incurred by them in attending meetings of the Board or any committee thereof.  Nothing herein contained shall preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving remuneration therefor in that capacity.
4.20   Nomination of Directors - Subject to the provisions of the Act and the articles of the Corporation, only persons who are nominated in accordance with the following procedures shall be eligible for election as directors of the Corporation. Nominations of an individual for election to the board may be made at any annual general meeting of shareholders, or at any special meeting of shareholders if one of the purposes for which such meeting was called is the election of directors of the Corporation:
(a)
by or at the discretion of the Board or an authorized officer of the Corporation, including pursuant to a notice of meeting;
(b)
by or at the direction or request of one or more shareholders pursuant to a proposal made in accordance with the provisions of the Act or a requisition to call a shareholders meeting made in accordance with the provisions of the Act; or
(c)
by any person (a “ Nominating Shareholder ”) who, (i) at the close of business on the date of the giving of the notice provided for below in this Section 4.20 and on the record date for notice of such meeting, is entered in the securities register as a holder of one or more shares carrying the right to vote at such meeting or who beneficially owns shares that are entitled to be voted at such meeting, and (ii) complies with the notice procedures set forth below in this Section 4.20.
In addition to any other applicable requirements, for a nomination to be made by a Nominating Shareholder, the Nominating Shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the Secretary of the Corporation at the registered office of the Corporation in accordance with this Section 4.20.
To be timely, a Nominating Shareholder’s notice to the Secretary of the Corporation must be made:
(a)
in the case of an annual general meeting of shareholders, not less than 30 nor more than 65 days prior to the date of the annual general meeting of shareholders; provided, however, that in the event that the annual general meeting of shareholders is to be held on a date that is less than 40 days after the date on which the initial Public Announcement (as defined below) of the date of the annual general meeting of shareholders was made, notice by the Nominating Shareholder may be made not later than the close of business on the 10th day following such Public Announcement; and
(b)
in the case of a special meeting of shareholders that is not also an annual general meeting but is called for the purpose of electing directors of the Corporation (whether or not called for other purposes), not later than the close of business on the 15th day following the day on which the initial Public Announcement of the special meeting of shareholders was made.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may, in its sole discretion, waive any requirement in this Section 4.20. In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of a meeting of shareholders of the Corporation or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of a Nominating Shareholder’s notice.
To be in proper written form, a Nominating Shareholder’s notice to the Secretary of the Corporation must set forth:
(a)
as to each individual whom the Nominating Shareholder proposes to nominate for election as a director:

(i)
his or her name, age, business address and residence address;

(ii)
his or her principal occupation or employment;

(iii)
the class or series and number of shares in the capital of the Corporation which are controlled or over which direction is exercised, directly or indirectly, or which are owned beneficially or of record by him or her as of the record date for the meeting of shareholders (if such date shall then have been made publicly available by the Corporation and shall have occurred) and as of the date of such notice;

(iv)
a statement as to whether he or she would be “independent” of the Corporation (within the meaning of Sections 1.4 and 1.5 of National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees of the Canadian Securities Administrators, as such provisions may amended from time to time) if elected as a director of the Corporation at such meeting and the reasons and basis for such determination; and

(v)
any other information relating to him or her that would be required to be disclosed in a dissident’s proxy circular in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to the Act and Applicable Securities Laws (as defined below); and
(b)
as to the Nominating Shareholder giving the notice:

(i)
any proxy, contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship pursuant to which such Nominating Shareholder has the right to vote any shares in the capital of the Corporation;

(ii)
any other information relating to such Nominating Shareholder that would be required to be made in a dissident’s proxy circular in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to the Act and Applicable Securities Laws; and

(iii)
the class or series and number of shares in the capital of the Corporation which are controlled or over which direction is exercised, directly or indirectly, or which are owned beneficially or of record by the Nominating Shareholder as of the record date for the meeting of shareholders (if such date shall then have been made publicly available by the Corporation and shall have occurred) and as of the date of such notice.

The Corporation may require any proposed nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as an independent director of the Corporation or that could be material to a reasonable shareholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such proposed nominee.
No individual shall be eligible for election as a director of the Corporation unless nominated in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.20; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.20 shall be deemed to preclude discussions by a shareholder of the Corporation (as distinct from the nomination of directors) at a meeting of shareholders of any matter in respect of which it would have been entitled to submit a proposal pursuant to the provisions of the Act. The chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination was made in accordance with the procedures set forth in the foregoing provisions and, if any proposed nomination is not determined to be in compliance with such foregoing provisions, to declare that such defective nomination shall be disregarded.
For purposes of this Section 4.20:
(a)
“Applicable Securities Laws” means the applicable securities legislation of each relevant province and territory of Canada, as amended from time to time, the rules, regulations and forms made or promulgated under any such statute and the published national instruments, multilateral instruments, policies, statements, bulletins and notices of the securities commission and similar regulatory authority of each province and territory of Canada; and
(b)
“Public Announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by a national news service in Canada, or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation under its profile on the System of Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval at www.sedar.com.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the by-laws, notice given to the Secretary of the Corporation pursuant to this Section 4.20 may only be given by personal delivery or by facsimile transmission, and shall be deemed to have been given and made only at the time it is served by personal delivery or sent by facsimile transmission (provided that receipt of confirmation of such transmission has been received) to the Secretary of the Corporation at the address of the registered office of the Corporation; provided, that if such delivery or transmission is made on a day which is not a business day or later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on a day which is a business day, then such delivery or transmission shall be deemed to have been made on the subsequent day that is a business day.

8.9   Joint Security Holders - If two or more persons are registered as joint holders of any security, the Corporation shall not be bound to issue more than one certificate in respect thereof, and delivery of such certificate to one of such persons shall be sufficient delivery to all of them.  Any one of such persons may give effectual receipts for the certificate issued in respect thereof or for any dividend, bonus, return of capital or other money payable or warrant issuable in respect of such security.

9.4              Record Date for Dividends and Rights - The Board may fix in advance a date, preceding by not more than 50 days, the date for the payment of any dividend or the date for the issue of any warrant or other evidence of the right to subscribe for securities of the Corporation, as a record date for the determination of the persons entitled to receive payment of such dividend or to exercise the right to subscribe for such securities, provided that notice of any such record date shall be given, not less than 7 days before such record date.  Where no record date is fixed so, the record date for the determination of the persons entitled to receive payment of any dividend or to exercise the right to subscribe for securities of the Corporation shall be at the close of business on the day on which the resolution relating to such dividend or right to subscribe is passed by the Board.

9.5              Unclaimed Dividends - Any dividend unclaimed after the expiry of the applicable limitation period shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Corporation.

10.8          Meetings without Notice - A meeting of shareholders may be held at any time and place permitted by the Act without notice or on shorter notice than that provided for herein, and proceedings thereat shall not be invalidated (a) if all the shareholders entitled to vote thereat are present in person or represented by proxy (other than as expressly to object that the meeting is not lawfully called) or if those not present in person or represented by proxy waive notice before or after the meeting or the time prescribed for the notice thereof, in writing of such meeting being held, and (b) if the auditors and the directors are present or if those not present, waive notice of or otherwise consent to such meeting being held.  At such a meeting any business may be transacted which the Corporation at a meeting of shareholders may transact.  If the meeting is held at a place outside Ontario, shareholders not present in person or represented by proxy, but who have waived notice of such meeting, shall also be deemed to have consented to the meeting being held at such place.
10.9   Chairman, Secretary and Scrutineers - The chairman of any meeting of shareholders shall be the first mentioned of such of the following officers as have been appointed and who is present at the meeting: chief executive officer, president, chairman of the Board, or a vice-president who is a director.  If no such officer is present within 15 minutes from the time fixed for holding the meeting, the persons present and entitled to vote shall choose one of their number to be chairman.  If the secretary of the Corporation is absent, the chairman shall appoint some person, who need not be a shareholder, to act as secretary of the meeting.  If desired, one or more scrutineers, who need not be shareholders, may be appointed by a resolution or by the chairman with the consent of the meeting.

10.10       Persons Entitled to be Present - The only persons entitled to attend a meeting of shareholders shall be those entitled to vote thereat, the directors and auditor of the Corporation and others who, although not entitled to vote, are entitled or required under the Act or the articles or by-laws to be present at the meeting.  Any other person may be admitted only on the invitation of the chairman of the meeting or with the consent of the meeting.
10.11        Quorum - Subject to the Act, a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of shareholders shall be one person present in person, being a shareholder entitled to vote thereat or a duly appointed representative or proxyholder for an absent shareholder so entitled, and holding or representing in the aggregate not less than twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote at the meeting.  If a quorum is present at the opening of any meeting of shareholders, the shareholders present in person or represented by proxy may proceed with the business of the meeting notwithstanding that a quorum is not present throughout the meeting.   If a quorum is not present at the opening of any meeting of shareholders, the shareholders present in person or represented by proxy may adjourn the meeting to a fixed time and place, but may not transact any other business.
10.12        Right to Vote - Subject to the Act as to authorized representatives of any other body corporate or association, at any meeting of shareholders for which the Corporation must prepare a list referred to in Section 10.6, every person who is named in such list shall be entitled to vote the shares shown opposite such person's name.

A proxy shall be in writing executed by the shareholder or such shareholder's attorney and shall conform with the Act.  Every such shareholder which is a body corporate or association may by resolution of its directors or governing body authorize an individual who need not be a shareholder to represent it at a meeting of shareholders and such individual may exercise on the shareholder's behalf all the powers it could exercise if it were an individual shareholder. The authority of such an individual shall be established by depositing with the Corporation a certified copy of such resolution, or in such other manner as may be satisfactory to the secretary of the Corporation or the chairman of the meeting.
10.14       Time for Deposit of Proxies - The Board may specify in a notice calling a meeting of shareholders a time, preceding the time of such meeting by not more than 48 hours exclusive of non-business days, before which time proxies to be used at such meeting must be deposited.  A proxy shall be acted on only if, prior to the time so specified, it shall have been deposited with the Corporation or an agent thereof specified in such notice or, if no such time is specified in such notice, unless it has been received by the secretary of the Corporation or by the chairman of the meeting or any adjournment thereof prior to the time of voting.
10.15       Joint Shareholders - If two or more persons hold shares jointly, one of them present in person or represented by proxy at a meeting of shareholders may, in the absence of the other or others, vote the shares; but if two or more of those persons are present in person or represented by proxy and vote, they shall vote as one on the shares jointly held by them.

10.16       Votes to Govern - At any meeting of shareholders every question shall, unless otherwise required by the articles or by-laws or by law, be determined by a majority of the votes cast on the question.  In case of an equality of votes either on a show of hands or on a ballot or on results of electronic voting, the chairman of the meeting shall not be entitled to a second or casting vote.
10.17      Show of Hands - Subject to the Act, any question at a meeting of shareholders shall be decided by a show of hands unless a ballot thereon is required or demanded as hereinafter provided.  On a show of hands every person who is present and entitled to vote shall have one vote.  Whenever a vote by show of hands shall have been taken on a question, unless a ballot thereon is so required or demanded, a declaration by the chairman of the meeting that the vote on the question has been carried or carried by a particular majority or not carried and an entry to that effect in the minutes of the meeting shall be prima facie evidence of the fact without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or against any resolution or other proceeding in respect of the question, and the result of the vote so taken shall be the decision of the shareholders on the question.
10.18 Ballots - On any question proposed for consideration at a meeting of shareholders, and whether or not a show of hands has been taken thereon, the chairman may require a ballot of any person present or any shareholder or proxyholder entitled to vote on such question at the meeting may demand a ballot.  A ballot so demanded shall be taken in such manner as the chairman shall direct.  A demand for a ballot may be withdrawn at any time prior to the taking of the ballot.  If a ballot is taken each person present shall be entitled, in respect of the shares which such person is entitled to vote at the meeting on the question, to that number of votes provided by the Act or the articles, and the result of the ballot so taken shall be the decision of the shareholders on the question.
10.19       Adjournment - If a meeting of shareholders is adjourned by one or more adjournments for an aggregate of less than 30 days it is not necessary to give notice of the adjourned meeting other than by announcement at the time of an adjournment.  If a meeting of shareholders is adjourned by one or more adjournments for an aggregate of 30 days or more but not more than 90 days, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as for an original meeting but the management of the Corporation shall not be required to send a form of proxy in the form provided by the Act to each shareholder who is entitled to receive notice of the meeting.
10.20      Resolution in Writing - A resolution in writing signed by all the shareholders entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of shareholders is as valid as if it had been passed at a meeting of the shareholders unless a written statement with respect to the subject matter of the resolution is submitted by a director or the auditors in accordance with the Act.
10.21       Only One Shareholder - Where the Corporation has only one shareholder or only one holder of any class or series of shares, the shareholder present in person or by proxy constitutes a meeting.

Titan Medical Inc.
170 University Ave, Suite 1000
Toronto, Ontario M5H 3B3

Dear Sirs/Mesdames:

Re:   Titan Medical Inc. – Registration Statement on Form F-3

We have acted as Ontario counsel to Titan Medical Inc. (the “ Corporation ”) in connection with the preparation of a Registration Statement on Form F-3 (the “ Registration Statement ”) under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Act ”), relating to the potential issuance and sale by the Corporation of (i) up to an aggregate of US$125 million of securities of the Corporation (collectively, the “ Securities ”) pursuant to one or more prospectus supplements (each a “ Prospectus Supplement ”)   to the Registration Statement to be filed by the Corporation from time to time.

The Securities of the Corporation which may be offered under the Registration Statement include the following:

common shares (“ Shares ”),
warrants to purchase Shares (the “ Warrants ”) which may be issued under a warrant indenture to be entered into with a warrant agent to be selected by the Corporation, or
units comprised of a combination of Shares and whole or partial Warrants   (“ Units ”),

We have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise to our satisfaction of such documents and considered such questions of law as we considered necessary as a basis for our opinion, including the Registration Statement and resolutions of the board of directors of the Corporation approving the filing of the Registration Statement and the issuance of the Securities. In all such examinations, we have assumed (i) the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all individuals signing any documents, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies, whether facsimile, photostatic, electronic, certified or otherwise, and (ii) the truthfulness of all facts set forth in the public records and in certificates of public officials.

We have also assumed that in connection with any Securities issued under the Registration Statement, (i) all required filings relating to, and any approvals for,  the Registration Statement, any Prospectus Supplement or any related document, has been made and received prior to the issuance of any such Securities, (ii) any applicable agreement, including any warrant indenture, underwriting agreement or similar document (collectively “ Applicable Agreements ”), has been, or will be prior to the time of the issuance of the applicable Security, duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Corporation and any other party thereto and is enforceable against each such party thereto, and neither the execution and delivery of any such document by any party thereto nor the performance by any party of its obligations thereunder do, or will, violate or conflict with any applicable laws or the constating documents of such party or an requirement or restriction imposed by an court or government body having jurisdiction over such party.  We have assumed that any Applicable Agreement entered into will be governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario.

Our opinion herein is limited to the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein now in effect (the “ Applicable Law ”).

Based on and subject to the foregoing assumptions and qualifications we are of the opinion that:

1.
With respect to the issuance of any Shares, including without limitation Shares issuable upon conversion or exercise of any other Securities that are convertible or exercisable into Shares, which may be offered pursuant to the Registration Statement, when (a) the issuance and sale of the Shares has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action in conformity with the constating documents (as then in effect), and the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “ OBCA ”) (as then in effect), and does not violate any Applicable Law or result in a default under or breach of any agreement or instrument binding upon the Corporation and comply with any requirement or restriction imposed by any court or governmental body of Canada or Ontario having jurisdiction over the Corporation; (b) the full consideration, determined to be adequate by the Corporation’s board of directors (or a duly authorized committee thereto), which is at least equal to the issue price of the Shares, has been received by the Corporation; and (c) if certificated, the certificates representing the Shares have been duly executed and delivered by the proper officers of the Corporation to the purchasers thereof against payment of the agreed-upon consideration therefor in the manner contemplated in the Registration Statement or any Prospectus Supplement relating thereto, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.



2.
