Unit Structure and Warrant Terms of the Oracle Commodity Offering

Each of the 3,500,000 units offered is priced at $0.03 and comprises one common share and one transferable common share purchase warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional common share at an exercise price of $0.06 for a period of three years from the date of issuance. The structure effectively provides subscribers with leveraged upside exposure should Oracle Commodity's share price trade above the warrant exercise price within the three-year window. The company did not disclose a targeted closing date for the offering in the announcement.

Insider Subscription Triggers Related-Party Transaction Disclosure

Insiders of Oracle Commodity are expected to subscribe for up to 2,000,000 of the 3,500,000 units, representing aggregate gross proceeds of up to $60,000.

Oracle anticipates relying on exemptions from minority shareholder approval and formal valuation requirements, noting that neither the fair market value of the units nor the consideration paid by insiders is expected to exceed 25 per cent of the company's market capitalisation. A material change report will be filed in connection with the related-party transaction.
