Approximately 5.8 million of its warrants having an exercise price of $0.62 and expiring on July 8, 2021 (the “2021 Warrants”) have been exercised, representing 87% of the total number of 2021 Warrants that were outstanding at the start of the Incentive Program which began on June13, 2019 and closed on July 12, 2019. The Incentive Program resulted in Orla issuing 5,842,500 common shares and 5,842,500 full new warrants (the “Incentive Warrant”). Each Incentive Warrant is exercisable into one common share at a price of $1.65 for a period of 3 years, expiring June 12, 2022.

The remaining 895,000 2021 Warrants that were not exercised under the Incentive Program will remain outstanding and continue to entitle the holder to acquire one common share of Orla at the exercise price of $0.62 until July 8, 2021.
