The combined proceeds from the Offering and the Private Placement shall be up to $11,000,000.
The Company has also granted the Agent an option (the “Over-Allotment Option”) to cover over-allotments and for market stabilization purposes, exercisable at any time up to 30 days subsequent to the Closing of the Offering, to increase the size of the Offering by up to 15% in Units on the same terms and conditions of the Offering, exercisable in whole or in part.
The net proceeds received by the Company from the Offering and the Strategic Investment, are specifically intended to be used by the Company to complete the following work program for its 100% owned oil and gas operations in Alberta:

- Drill a multi-well program at Pulse’s Queenstown assets focused on light oil drilling in the Mannville formation; and

For each CEE Flow-Through Share, the Company has covenanted to incur and renounce to the subscriber, effective for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, qualifying "Canadian exploration expenses", within the meaning of the Income Tax Act (Canada), in an amount equal to the purchase price of the CEE Flow-Through Share.
The Offering is being made pursuant to a short-form prospectus filed in the provinces of British Columbia, Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia and Manitoba and otherwise by private placement exemption in other jurisdictions where the Offering can lawfully be made, including the United States and Europe. The securities issued and issuable pursuant to the Offering will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an exemption from the registration requirements.
