Following the completion of a reverse take-over transaction, Liberty Defense Holdings announced that the common shares in the capital of the Company have commenced trading on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol “SCAN”.

Liberty further announces the granting of 4,680,000 options to acquire common shares to certain directors, officers, employees and consultants of the company pursuant to a long-term equity incentive plan, with 700,000 options having been granted to consultants providing certain investor relations and marketing services.

Each option will allow its holders to receive one common share, provided that the number of common shares reserved for issuance under the equity incentive plan does not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares from time to time.

The purpose of the equity incentive plan is to promote greater alignment of interests between employees and shareholders, and to support the achievement of the company’s longer-term performance objectives, while providing a long-term retention element.

“We are delighted to be able to commence trading on the TSX Venture under the symbol “SCAN”. The completion of the recent reverse takeover and associated financing means that we are well placed to be able to achieve our business objectives in 2019,” said Liberty’s Chief Executive Officer Bill Riker.
