The obligations of both StorageVault and the Vendors to complete the closing of the Acquisitions are subject to the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions and include acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”). Neither of the two Vendor group Acquisitions are conditional or contingent on the completion of the other Acquisition.
