4.             The registered office and the head office of the Applicant are located at 10 York Mills Road, Suite 700, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M2P 2G4.

8.             On December 14, 2015, NexJ Systems obtained an interim order from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) providing for the calling and holding of a special meeting of NexJ Systems shareholders to consider, among other things, the Arrangement and other procedural matters.

9.             The Arrangement was put before and approved by shareholders of NexJ Systems at a special shareholder meeting held on January 13, 2016 pursuant to a management information circular of NexJ Systems dated December 14, 2015 (the Circular).

(a)           any cease trade order or similar order, or order that denied access to any exemptions under Ontario securities law, for a period of more than 30 consecutive days, within the past 10 years; or

(b)           any bankruptcy or insolvency proceed-ings, or other proceedings, arrangements or compromises with creditors, or ap-pointment of a receiver, receiver-mana-ger or trustee, within the past 10 years.

16.          As of the date hereof, the Applicant is not on the default list of the securities regulatory authority in any jurisdiction in Canada in which it is a reporting issuer.

17.          Upon becoming a reporting issuer, the Ontario Securities Commission will be the Applicant’s principal regulator.

AND UPON the Commission being satisfied that to do so would be in the public interest;

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED pursuant to clause 1(11)(b) of the Act that the Applicant is a reporting issuer for the purposes of Ontario securities law.
