PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
(To the Prospectus Dated August 2, 2019)

TITAN MEDICAL INC.
  
7,000,000 Common Shares
3,500,000 Warrants
 
This prospectus supplement (a “Prospectus Supplement”) of Titan Medical Inc. (the “Company,”  “Titan,” “we,” “us” or “our”) qualifies the offer and issue (the “Offering”) of 7,000,000 common shares (the “Common Shares” or “Shares”), common share purchase warrants to purchase up to 3,500,000 Common Shares (the “Warrants”) and up to 3,500,000 Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”). The Common Shares and Warrants will be sold in a fixed combination at an offering price of $0.17, consisting of one Common Share and one-half Warrant, with each whole Warrant exercisable to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.19 per Share for a period of 5 years following the date of closing of the Offering (the “Closing Date”).  The Common Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares are, collectively, the “Securities”.

Pursuant to this Prospectus Supplement, we will also issue warrants (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) to purchase up to 490,000 Common Shares, and the Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Placement Agent Warrants (the “Placement Agent Shares”), to H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (or its designees) as part of the compensation payable to it for acting as our exclusive placement agent in connection with this Offering. The Placement Agent Warrants will have the same terms as the Warrants except the exercise price will be $0.2125 per Share (which represents 125% of the offering price per Common Share and Warrant combination sold in the Offering) and they will not be transferable for 180 days from the date of effectiveness or the commencement of sales of this Offering.

Our Common Shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) under the symbol “TMD” and the NASDAQ (the “Nasdaq”) under the symbol “TMDI”. On March 24, 2020, the closing price of the Shares on the TSX was CDN$0.31. On March 24, 2020, the closing price of the Shares on the Nasdaq was $0.21. Titan intends to apply to the TSX to list the Shares, the Warrant Shares issuable on exercise of the Warrants and the Placement Agent Shares issuable on exercise of the Placement Agent Warrants offered under this Prospectus Supplement.  Titan will notify Nasdaq of the listing of the Shares, the Warrant Shares and the Placement Agent Shares offered under this Prospectus Supplement. Listing will be subject to our fulfilling all of the listing requirements of the TSX and Nasdaq. There can be no assurance that the Shares, the Warrant Shares and the Placement Agent Shares offered under this Prospectus Supplement will be accepted for trading on the TSX or the Nasdaq. We do not intend to apply to list the Warrants on any national securities exchange or any securities exchange in another jurisdiction. There will be no market through which the Warrants may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell the Warrants purchased in the Offering. This may affect the pricing of the Warrants in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the Warrants, and the extent of issuer regulation. See “Risk Factors”.

We have retained H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the “Placement Agent” or “Wainwright”) to act as our exclusive placement agent. The Placement Agent has agreed to use its “reasonable best efforts” to arrange for the sale of the Securities. The Placement Agent has no obligation to buy any of the Securities from us or to arrange for the purchase or sale of any specific number or dollar amount of the Securities. There is no required minimum number of securities that must be sold as a condition to completion of this Offering. We have agreed to pay the Placement Agent fees set forth in the table below, which assumes that we sell all of the securities we are offering.

PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY

This summary highlights certain information about us, the Offering and information appearing elsewhere in this prospectus supplement and in the documents, we incorporate by reference in this prospectus supplement. This summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in the Shares we are offering. After you read this summary, to fully understand our company and the Offering and its consequences to you, you should read this entire prospectus supplement carefully, including the information referred to under the heading “Risk Factors” in this prospectus beginning on page S-12and any related free writing prospectus as well as the other documents that we incorporate by reference into this prospectus including our financial statements and the exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus Supplement is a part.

Titan Medical Inc. Overview
We are an Ontario corporation, being the successor corporation formed pursuant to an amalgamation under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on July 28, 2008.  We are focused on the design and development of a robotic surgical system for application in MIS.
Our single-port robotic surgical system, currently under development, includes a surgeon-controlled robotic platform that incorporates a 3D high-definition vision system and multi-articulating instruments for performing MIS procedures through a single incision. The surgical system also includes a surgeon workstation that provides a surgeon with an advanced ergonomic interface to the robotic platform for controlling the instruments and viewing the inside of a patient’s body in 3D during MIS procedures. The Company intends to initially pursue gynecologic surgical indications for use of its single-port robotic surgical system.
Our head and registered office is located at 155 University Avenue, Suite 750, Toronto, Ontario M5H 3B7. Our main telephone number is (416) 548-7522. Our corporate website is www.titanmedicalinc.com. Information contained on our website is not part of this prospectus supplement nor is it incorporated by reference herein.

Recent Developments for Titan Medical Inc.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company was unsuccessful in securing sufficient capital to maintain product development and regulatory activities at a pace that would allow accomplishment of its previously stated milestones. As a result, on October 15, 2019, the Company announced that it had withdrawn all forward-looking statements included in its continuous disclosure documents with respect to the cost and timing of the development of its robotic surgical system beyond the fourth quarter of 2019. On November 7, 2019, the Company announced that it had determined not to proceed with the public offering of units of the Company for which it filed a final short form prospectus on October 31, 2019. The Company does not have sufficient capital to continue the development of its robotic surgical system and there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in securing additional financing.
S -9

As of the date of this Prospectus Supplement, the Company’s primary product development supplier (the “Primary Supplier”) has stopped all work with regard to the development of the Company’s robotic surgical system.
Additionally, on October 16, 2019, Naglreiter Consulting, LLC (“Naglreiter”), a service provider to the Company, filed a Complaint for breach of contract against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. The Complaint, which was served on the Company on October 24, 2019, alleges that the Company has not paid amounts owed under several invoices and, further, that the invoices total approximately $5 million.
On December 5, 2019, the Company filed an Answer, Affirmative Defenses and Counterclaim denying the allegations, asserting defenses to the Complaint, and asserting counterclaims against Naglreiter for (i) breach of contract including that the services that were rendered by Naglreiter were not rendered in a satisfactory manner and that Naglreiter failed to return property paid for by the Company, (ii) fraudulent inducement, (iii) negligent misrepresentation, (iv) indemnification and (v) conversion for refusing to return Titan’s property.
On February 13, 2020, Naglreiter filed an Amended Complaint against the Company to add a complaint of unjust enrichment alleging that Naglreiter had conferred benefits on the Company without the Company paying fair market value for them and asked the courts for a constructive trust over certain property of the Company in Naglreiter’s possession.
On March 9, 2020, the Company filed an Answer and Affirmative Defenses to the Amended Complaint and an Amended Counterclaim, denying the allegations, asserting defenses to the Amended Complaint, and bringing additional counterclaims of (i) replevin to recover possession of personal property held by Naglreiter, (ii) civil theft for depriving the Company of its right to certain property in Naglreiter’s possession and (iii) injunctive relief to have Naglreiter cease and desist the violation of confidentiality provisions in the parties’ agreements.
The Company is seeking a return of property having a value of over $4 million as well as the return of amounts paid for work not done or inadequately done by Naglreiter. Court ordered non-binding arbitration is pending. The Company intends to defend itself vigorously in this matter and pursue all relief to which it is entitled (this matter to be referred to herein as the “Civil Claim”). There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in defending against the complaints or in its counterclaims against Naglreiter.
Domenic Serafino resigned as a director of the Company effective February 11, 2020.
As the Company raises additional capital, it continues to make payments on valid past due invoices with current suppliers. Should the Company be successful in raising sufficient capital, which it may not be, the Company plans to complete paying valid past due invoices and then develop a work plan with input from suppliers that is consistent with the Company’s priorities toward milestone achievement having regard to the Company’s available capital resources. As the Company’s Primary Supplier has agreed to waive certain deposit requirements, the Company plans to comply with the specified interim requirements of the supplier until the Company has raised sufficient capital to fund the deposit as described above. In any case in which the Company may be unable to normalize supplier relationships, it has identified alternative suppliers of those services.
The Company will need to replace any product development service provider in the event it should be necessary or desirable to the Company.  However, the engagement of other service providers will be subject to the availability of sufficient capital, successful negotiation of commercial terms, statements of work, payment terms and possibly, require deposits and/or pre-payments.  There is no assurance that the Company will be able to reach any agreement with any alternative supplier on satisfactory terms.
Following the above noted adverse events during second half of 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors established a special committee of independent directors to oversee the global search for strategic alternative transactions. The mandate of the special committee includes a wide range of potential transactions, including financing through equity or debt, licensing, merger or acquisition. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in securing additional capital or completing a suitable strategic alternative transaction. In the event that the Company is unable to secure additional capital or conclude a suitable strategic alternative transaction, it may be unable to pay down past due invoices or restart product development. It is also possible that in such circumstances the Company’s relationships with key service providers may further deteriorate.
S -10

The Company currently does not generate any revenue (other than interest income on its cash balances) and accordingly it is primarily dependent upon equity financing for any additional funding required for development and operating expenses. If additional funding is not available, the pace of the Company’s product development plan will be further reduced. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern if additional funding is not secured.
During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company raised gross proceeds of approximately $35,766,754 ($31,181,983 net of closing costs including cash commission of $2,172,500) through equity offerings and the Company generated a net and comprehensive losses of $41,907,079 (December 31, 2018 - $22,639,272) which included research and development expenditures of $51,418,056 (December 31, 2018 - $32,858,339) and a gain on change in fair value of warrants of $19,800,645 (December 31, 2018 - $17,095,220).
The Company had $478,259 of cash and cash equivalents on hand and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, including the current portion of the lease liability, of $9,666,714 excluding warrant liability at February 29, 2020, compared to $814,492 and $11,433,967 respectively, at December 31, 2019. The Company’s working capital at February 29, 2020 was a deficiency of $8,439,112 excluding warrant liability, compared to a working capital deficiency of $9,684,525 at December 31, 2019. These figures include $2.9 million accrued and outstanding invoices received relating to the Civil Claim.
Our business and prospects are subject to added risks associated with and arising from the outbreak of the global pandemic contagious disease known as the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), and the uncertainty of the impacts, duration and severity of the outbreak.  We believe that our previous market growth projections are rendered unreliable given the severe impact of COVID-19 on the healthcare sector as well as, more broadly, on the economy and the capital markets.  We are therefore withdrawing and disclaiming all prior disclosures and references in our annual information form, management’s discussion and analysis, material change reports, news releases, investor presentations, prospectuses and other regulatory filings, including without limitation the documents incorporated by reference herein, with respect to the following:
market research reports published by external market research firms,
   
market growth projections and any and all product and service pricing estimates and revenue projections by us, and
   
market and revenue growth set forth in news releases or filings of other issuers in the robotic surgical technology sector.


For greater certainty, the documents incorporated into this Prospectus Supplement by reference which contain any of the foregoing disclosures or references are to be read in conjunction with this Prospectus Supplement strictly without the foregoing disclosures or references.

Risk Factors
 
Investing in our Common Shares and Warrants involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-12 of this Prospectus Supplement for a discussion of factors you should consider carefully when making an investment decision.
_____________
(1)
The number of Common Shares to be outstanding immediately after completion of the Offering as shown above is based on 44,816,877 Common Shares outstanding as of March 24, 2020. Unless otherwise indicated, the number of Common Shares presented in this Prospectus Supplement excludes:
 
 
1,714,421 Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of 860,379 Canadian dollar denominated options with a weighted average exercise price of CDN $5.89 and 854,042 US dollar denominated options with a weighted average exercise price of US $2.65 as at December 31, 2019; and
 
 
 
 
21,203,411 Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants having a weighted-average exercise price of $6.52 per warrant as at December 31, 2019.

RISK FACTORS
Investing in our securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks set out below and the other documents incorporated by reference in this Prospectus Supplement that summarize the risks that may materially affect us and our business before making an investment in the Common Shares and Warrants. Please see “Documents Incorporated by Reference”. If any of these risks occur, our business, results of operations or financial condition could be materially adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. The risks set out in this Prospectus Supplement are not the only risks we face. You should also refer to the other information set forth in this Prospectus Supplement as well as those incorporated by reference herein and therein, including financial statements and the related notes, for further risks faced by us.

There can be no assurance that the Offering will be completed.
The completion of the Offering is subject to the completion of definitive binding documentation and satisfaction of a number of conditions. There can be no certainty or guarantee that the Offering will be completed.

There is no guarantee that our Common Shares will earn any positive return in the short term or long term.

Investment in our Shares is speculative and involves a high degree of risk and should be undertaken only by holders whose financial resources are sufficient to enable them to assume such risks and who have no need for immediate liquidity in their investment, and who have the capacity to absorb a loss of some or all of their investment in our Shares.
Our Common Share price will fluctuate and your investment in our Shares could decrease in value.
            Fluctuations in the market price or liquidity of Common Shares may harm the value of your investment in our Shares. You may not be able to resell your Shares at or above the price you pay under the Offering due to fluctuations in the market price caused by changes in our operations or prospects and other factors, including:
S -12

 
actual or anticipated fluctuations in our operating results or future prospects;
 
 
 
 
public reaction to our press releases, our other public announcements and our filings with the SEC;
 
 
 
 
strategic actions by our management or by our competitors;
 
 
 
 
changes in financial markets or general economic conditions;
 
 
 
 
our ability to raise additional capital as needed;
 
 
 
 
developments regarding our patents or proprietary rights; and
 
 
 
 
changes in stock market analyst recommendations or earnings estimates regarding our Common Shares, other comparable companies or our industry generally.
Future sales of our Shares could adversely affect the market price and our future capital-raising activities could involve the issuance of equity securities, which would dilute your investment and holdings, and could result in a decline in the trading price of our Common Shares.
            We are likely to issue and sell securities, including Shares, if and when conditions are favorable, even if we may not have an immediate need for additional capital at that time. Sales of substantial amounts of Shares, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our Common Shares and our ability to raise capital. We may issue additional Shares in future financing transactions or as incentive compensation for our executive management and other key personnel, consultants and advisors. Issuing any equity securities would be dilutive to the equity interests represented by our then-outstanding Common Shares. The market price for our Common Shares could decrease as the market takes into account the dilutive effect of any of these issuances.
We may lose our status as a foreign private issuer.
In order to maintain our status as a foreign private issuer, a majority of our Shares must be either directly or indirectly owned by non-residents of the U.S. unless we also satisfy one of the additional requirements necessary to preserve this status. We may in the future lose our foreign private issuer status if a majority of our Shares are held in the United States and if we fail to meet the additional requirements necessary to avoid loss of our foreign private issuer status. The regulatory and compliance costs under U.S. federal securities laws as a U.S. domestic issuer may be significantly more than the costs incurred as a Canadian foreign private issuer eligible to use the Multijurisdictional Disclosure System (the “MJDS”). If Titan is not a foreign private issuer, it would not be eligible to use the MJDS or other foreign issuer forms and would be required to file periodic and current reports and registration statements on U.S. domestic issuer forms with the SEC, which are more detailed and extensive than the forms available to a foreign private issuer. In addition, we may lose the ability to rely upon exemptions from Nasdaq corporate governance requirements that are available to foreign private issuers.

Titan is an “emerging growth company” and cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make it less attractive to investors.
Titan is an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. We will continue to qualify as an “emerging growth company” until the earliest to occur of: (a) the last day of the fiscal year during which Titan had total annual gross revenues of US$1,070,000,000 or more; (b) the last day of its fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of Titan’s common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the U.S. Securities Act; (c) the date on which Titan, during the previous 3-year period, issued more than US$1,000,000,000 in non-convertible debt; or (d) the date on which Titan is deemed to be a ‘large accelerated filer.’

For so long as Titan continues to qualify as an emerging growth company, it will be exempt from the requirement to include an auditor attestation report relating to internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in its annual reports filed under the U.S. Exchange Act, even if it does not qualify as a “smaller reporting company,” as well as certain other exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies.
S -13


There will be no market for the Warrants purchased under the Offering.
We have not applied and do not intend to apply to list the Warrants on any national securities exchange or a securities exchange in another jurisdiction. There will be no market through which the Warrants may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell the Warrants. This may affect the pricing of the Warrants in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the Warrants, and the extent of issuer regulation.
The price of the Common Shares and Warrants in the Offering (the “Offering Price”) has been determined by negotiations between Titan and the Placement Agent. The allocation of the Offering Price between the Shares and the Warrants comprising has been determined by Titan.
We will have broad discretion in how we use a portion of the net proceeds from the Offering, and we may use the net proceeds in ways in which you disagree.
          You will be relying on the judgment of Titan’s management with regard to the use of these net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. It is possible that the net proceeds will be invested in a way that does not yield a favorable, or any, return for Titan. The failure of our management to use such funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flow. See “Use of Proceeds.”
Titan is likely a ‘‘passive foreign investment company’’, which may have adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences for U.S. investors.

Potential investors in the Common Shares and Warrants who are U.S. taxpayers should be aware that the Company believes it was classified as a ‘‘passive foreign investment company’’ or ‘‘PFIC’’ during the tax year ended December 31, 2019, and based on current business plans and financial expectations, the Company expects that it may be a PFIC for the current tax year and future tax years. If the Company is a PFIC for any year during a U.S. taxpayer’s holding period of Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares, then such U.S. taxpayer generally will be required to treat any gain realized upon a disposition of the Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares or any so-called ‘‘excess distribution’’ received on its Shares and Warrant Shares, as ordinary income, and to pay an interest charge on a portion of such gain or distribution. In certain circumstances, the sum of the tax and the interest charge may exceed the total amount of proceeds realized on the disposition, or the amount of excess distribution received, by the U.S. taxpayer. Subject to certain limitations, these tax consequences may be mitigated if a U.S. taxpayer makes a timely and effective QEF Election or a Mark-to-Market Election. Subject to certain limitations, such elections may be made with respect to the Shares and Warrant Shares. A U.S. taxpayer may not make a QEF Election or Mark-to-Market Election with respect to the Warrants. A U.S. taxpayer who makes a timely and effective QEF Election generally must report on a current basis its share of the Company’s net capital gain and ordinary earnings for any year in which the Company is a PFIC, whether or not the Company distributes any amounts to its shareholders. However, U.S. taxpayers should be aware that there can be no assurance that the Company will satisfy the record keeping requirements that apply to a qualified electing fund, or that the Company will supply U.S. taxpayers with information that such U.S. taxpayers require to report under the QEF Election rules, in the event that the Company is a PFIC and a U.S. taxpayer wishes to make a QEF Election. Thus, U.S. taxpayers may not be able to make a QEF Election with respect to their Shares. A U.S. taxpayer who makes the Mark-to-Market Election generally must include as ordinary income each year the excess of the fair market value of the Shares or Warrant Shares over the taxpayer’s basis therein. This paragraph is qualified in its entirety by the discussion below under the heading ‘‘Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations — Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules.’’ Each potential investor who is a U.S. taxpayer should consult its own tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of the PFIC rules and the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of the Shares, Warrants and the Warrant Shares.
We may be delisted from The NASDAQ Capital Market if we do not satisfy continued listing requirements.
S -14


On November 27, 2019, we received notifications by Nasdaq that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) since the closing bid price for our Common Shares listed on Nasdaq was below $1.00 for 30 consecutive business day, and Nasdaq Rule 5550(b)(2) since the Market Value of Listed Securities for our Common Shares listed on Nasdaq was below $35 million for 30 consecutive business days.  Nasdaq Rules further provide us with a period of 180 calendar days from the date of notification to regain compliance with the above noted Rules.

While these notifications do not currently impact our listing on the Nasdaq, there can be no assurance that we will be able to comply in the future with Nasdaq's bid price, Market Value of Listed Securities, or other continued listing requirements under Nasdaq Rules (the “Continued Listing Requirements”).  If we are unable to satisfy the Continued Listing Requirements for which we received notifications from Nasdaq and continue to be deficient after the applicable grace period(s), Nasdaq may commence procedures to delist our Common Shares from Nasdaq.  If our Common Shares were to be delisted by Nasdaq, the market liquidity of our Shares could be adversely affected and the market price of our Common Shares could decline, even though such Common Shares may continue to be traded "over-the-counter" and/or on the TSX. 

We are party to a Civil Claim, the outcome of which cannot be predicted.

Although we do not expect to be responsible for the amounts set out in the Civil Claim, the outcome of the Civil Claim cannot be predicted. As with any litigation, there is no assurance that we will be successful in defending against the Civil Claim or in our counterclaims asserted against the Service Provider.

Our operations could be affected by the outbreak of the Coronavirus.

If a pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of an infectious disease occurs in Canada, the United States or globally, our business may be adversely affected. In December 2019, a novel strain of COVID-19 was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. The virus continues to spread globally and, at the time of this filing, has spread to over 50 countries, including Canada and the United States. Our operations could be adversely affected to the extent that coronavirus or any other epidemic harms the world economy in general and the capital markets in North America in particular. Our operations may experience disruptions, such as temporary closure of our offices, which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and operational results. The duration of the business disruption and related financial impact cannot be reasonably estimated at this time but may materially affect our ability to operate our business and result in additional costs. Such events could impair our ability to raise necessary capital, cause us to incur additional expenses or disrupt the services of our external engineering and medical technology development and manufacturing firms, as well as service providers. The extent to which the coronavirus or other health epidemic may impact our results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, among others.

The global pandemic creates substantial uncertainty as to the willingness and ability of hospitals, HMOs, ambulatory care facilities and other prospective customers to purchase and implement robotic surgical systems.

The American College of Surgeons has called for hospitals to minimize, postpone or cancel elective procedures until the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak slows down.  An elective surgical procedure slowdown in the robotic surgical space may result in a substantial negative impact on the market prospects for robotic surgical systems and instruments and related services.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to secure and restore relationships with our suppliers and development partners.

The future success of the Company is substantially dependent on funding its research and development program and maintaining the support of its research and development and manufacturing service providers and, in some cases, securing new suppliers and service providers. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in accomplishing any of these goals.

We may not be able to raise sufficient financing on a timely basis.
S -15

Even if the Offering is completed, we may not be able to continue to raise sufficient financing on a timely basis in order to allow us to maintain product development and regulatory activities at a pace that would allow accomplishment of our previously stated milestones.

The Company may face cyber-security risks and threats.

Threats to information technology systems associated with cyber-security risks and cyber incidents or attacks continue to grow. It is possible that our business, financial and other systems or those of the companies, service providers or consultants with which we do business could be compromised, which might not be noticed for some period of time. Risks associated with these threats include, among other things, loss of intellectual property, disruption of business operations and safety procedures, loss or damage to worksite data delivery systems, and increased costs to prevent, respond to or mitigate cyber-security events.


USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that the net proceeds from this Offering will be approximately $0.885 million, after deducting the placement agent fees and estimated offering expenses payable by us, and assuming the sale of all of the Common Shares and Warrants offered hereby.

We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Common Shares and Warrants under the Offering for general corporate purposes including: resuming the development of our single-port robotic surgical system, instruments and accessories; funding working capital (including the reduction of outstanding payables); and capital expenditures.

All expenses relating to the Offering, including fees paid to the Placement Agent, will be paid out of the gross proceeds of the Offering.

DESCRIPTION OF THE SECURITIES
We are offering 7,000,000 Common Shares and one-half Warrants.  The Common Shares and one-half Warrants will be sold in a fixed combination at an offering price of $0.17, consisting of one Common Share and one-half Warrant, with each whole Warrant exercisable to purchase one Common Share. In addition to qualifying the offer and issue of the Common Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares, this Prospectus Supplement also qualifies the issue of Placement Agent Warrants and Placement Agent Shares.

Common Shares
 
The holders of Shares are entitled to receive notice of and to attend all annual and special meetings of our shareholders and to one vote in respect of each Share held at the record date for each such meeting. The holders of Shares are entitled, at the discretion of the Board, to receive out of any or all of our profits or surplus properly available for the payment of dividends, any dividend declared by the Board and payable by us on the Shares. The holders of the Shares will participate pro rata in any distribution of our assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up or other distribution of our assets. Such participation will be subject to the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attached to any of our securities issued and outstanding at such time ranking in priority to the Shares upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up. Shares are issued on authorization and approval from the Board, from treasury without par value and only as fully paid and are non-assessable. Shares will only be issued through the book-based system administered by CDS in Canada and by DTC in the United States, except in limited circumstances.
 
Warrants

Duration and Exercise Price

Each Warrant offered hereby will have an exercise price equal to $0.19 per Share. The Warrants will be immediately exercisable and may be exercised until the fifth anniversary of the issuance date. The exercise price and number of Shares issuable upon exercise is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting Common Shares and the exercise price. The Warrants will be issued separately from the Common Shares. The Warrants will be issued in certificated form only.
S -16


Exercisability

The Warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of Shares purchased upon such exercise (except in the case of a cashless exercise as discussed below). A holder (together with its affiliates) may not exercise any portion of the Warrant to the extent that the holder would own more than 4.99% of the outstanding Common Shares immediately after exercise, except that upon at least 61 days' prior notice from the holder to us, the holder may increase the amount of beneficial ownership of outstanding Shares after exercising the holder's Warrants up to 9.99% of the number of shares of our Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise.  The exercise of Warrants, and the Company’s obligation to issue the Warrant Shares, will not be effective or enforceable if the issuance of the Warrant Shares to the holder would result in the holder and its joint actors and affiliates holding greater than 9.99% of the outstanding Common Shares after giving effect to the exercise and issuance, without the holder having filed and cleared a Personal Information Form (in prescribed form) with the TSX.

Cashless Exercise

If, at the time a holder exercises its Warrants, a registration statement registering the issuance of Shares underlying the Warrants under the Securities Act is not then effective or available for the issuance of such Shares, then in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to us upon such exercise in payment of the aggregate exercise price, the holder may elect instead to receive upon such exercise (either in whole or in part) the net number of Shares determined according to a formula set forth in the Warrant.

Fractional Shares

No fractional Shares will be issued upon the exercise of the Warrants.

Transferability

Subject to applicable laws, a Warrant may be transferred at the option of the holder upon surrender of the Warrant to us together with the appropriate instruments of transfer.

Right as a Shareholder

Except as otherwise provided in the Warrants or by virtue of the holder’s ownership of Common Shares, such holder of Warrants does not have the rights or privileges of a holder of Common Shares, including any voting rights, until such holder exercises such holder’s Warrants.

Fundamental Transaction

In the event of a fundamental transaction, as described in the Warrants and generally including any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification of our Common Shares, the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of our properties or assets, our consolidation or merger with or into another person, the acquisition of more than 50% of our outstanding Common Shares, or any person or group becoming the beneficial owner of 50% of the voting power represented by our outstanding Common Shares, the holders of the Warrants will be entitled to receive upon exercise of the Warrants the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property that the holders would have received had they exercised the Warrants immediately prior to such fundamental transaction.
  
We have not applied and do not intend to apply to list the Warrants on any national securities exchange or a securities exchange in another jurisdiction. There will be no market through which the Warrants may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell the Warrants purchased in the Offering. This may affect the pricing of the Warrants in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the Warrants, and the extent of issuer regulation.
 
Warrant certificates will be exchangeable for new Warrant certificates of different denominations at 155 University Avenue, Suite 750, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 3B7.  Prior to the exercise of their Warrants, holders of Warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of Common Shares. We may amend the Warrants without the consent of the holders of the Warrants, to cure any ambiguity, to cure, correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision, or in any other manner that will not prejudice the rights of the holders of outstanding Warrants, as a group.
S -17


Placement Agent Warrants

We have also agreed to issue to the Placement Agent in the Offering the Placement Agent Warrants to purchase up to 490,000 Common Shares, which represent 7.0% of the aggregate number of Common Shares sold in this Offering. 

The material terms and provisions of the Placement Agent Warrants are substantially the same as the Warrants described above under the heading “Warrants,” with the exception of the following terms:

The exercise price of the Placement Agent Warrants is $0.2125 per share, which represents 125% of the offering price per Common Share and Warrant combination in this Offering;
The Placement Agent Warrants may be exercised until the fifth anniversary from the date of this Prospectus Supplement;
The Beneficial Ownership Limitation is 4.99%; and
The Placement Agent Warrants will not be transferable for 180 days from the date of effectiveness or the commencement of sales of this Offering, except in certain circumstances described in the Placement Agent Warrants. Following such period, subject to applicable laws, the Placement Agent Warrants may be transferred at the option of the holder upon surrender of a Placement Agent Warrant to us together with the appropriate instruments of transfer.

CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a general summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to a U.S. Holder (as defined below) arising from and relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Shares acquired pursuant to this Prospectus Supplement, the exercise, disposition, and lapse of Warrants acquired pursuant to this Prospectus Supplement, and the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Warrant Shares received upon exercise of the Warrants.
  
This summary is for general information purposes only and does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all potential U.S. federal income tax considerations that may apply to a U.S. Holder as a result of the acquisition of Securities pursuant to this Offering. In addition, this summary does not take into account the individual facts and circumstances of any particular U.S. Holder that may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such U.S. Holder, including specific tax consequences to a U.S. Holder under an applicable tax treaty. Accordingly, this summary is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, legal or U.S. federal income tax advice with respect to any particular U.S. Holder. This summary does not address the U.S. federal net investment income, U.S. federal alternative minimum, U.S. federal estate and gift, U.S. state and local, and non-U.S. tax consequences to U.S. Holders of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of  Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares. In addition, except as specifically set forth below, this summary does not discuss applicable tax reporting requirements. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, U.S. federal net investment income, U.S. federal alternative minimum, U.S. federal estate and gift, U.S. state and local, and non-U.S. tax consequences relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Shares, Warrants, and Warrant Shares.
  
No opinion from legal counsel or ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) has been requested, or will be obtained, regarding the U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to U.S. Holders as discussed in this summary. This summary is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS is not precluded from taking a position that is different from, and contrary to, the positions taken in this summary. In addition, because the authorities on which this summary is based are subject to various interpretations, the IRS and the U.S. courts could disagree with one or more of the positions taken in this summary.
 
Scope of this Summary
S -18

 
Authorities
  
This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury Regulations (whether final, temporary, or proposed) promulgated under the Code, published rulings of the IRS, published administrative positions of the IRS and U.S. court decisions, that are in effect and available, as of the date of this document. Any of the authorities on which this summary is based could be changed in a material and adverse manner at any time, and any such change could be applied retroactively. This summary does not discuss the potential effects, whether adverse or beneficial, of any proposed legislation that, if enacted, could be applied on a retroactive or prospective basis. 

U.S. Holders
  
For purposes of this summary, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares acquired pursuant to this Prospectus Supplement that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
 
a citizen or individual resident of the United States;
a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;
an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or
a trust that (1) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and the control of one or more U.S. persons for all substantial decisions or (2) has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

U.S. Holders Subject to Special U.S. Federal Income Tax Rules Not Addressed

This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to U.S. Holders that are subject to special provisions under the Code, including U.S. Holders that: (a) are tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts, or other tax-deferred accounts; (b) are financial institutions, underwriters, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, or regulated investment companies; (c) are brokers or dealers in securities or currencies or U.S. Holders that are traders in securities that elect to apply a mark-to-market accounting method; (d) have a “functional currency” other than the U.S. dollar; (e) own Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares as part of a straddle, hedging transaction, conversion transaction, constructive sale, or other integrated transaction; (f) acquired Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares in connection with the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for services; (g) hold Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares other than as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment purposes); (h) are partnerships and other pass-through entities (and investors in such partnerships and entities); (i) are subject to special tax accounting rules with respect to Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares;  (j) own, have owned or will own (directly, indirectly, or by attribution) 10% or more of the total combined voting power or value of the Company’s outstanding shares; (k) are U.S. expatriates or former long-term residents of the U.S., or (l) are subject to taxing jurisdictions other than, or in addition to, the United States. U.S. Holders that are subject to special provisions under the Code, including U.S. Holders described immediately above, should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal, U.S. federal net investment income, U.S. federal alternative minimum, U.S. federal estate and gift, U.S. state and local, and non-U.S. tax consequences relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares.

If an entity or arrangement that is classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such entity or arrangement and the owners of such entity or arrangement generally will depend on the activities of such entity or arrangement and the status of such owners. This summary does not address the tax consequences to any such entity or arrangement or owner. Owners of entities or arrangements that are classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes should consult their own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences arising from and relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Acquisition of Shares and Warrants
S -19


The offering price of $0.17 for each fixed combination of a Share and one-half Warrant will be allocated between the Share and one-half Warrant in proportion to their relative fair market values at the time of purchase by the U.S. Holder. This allocation of the offering price will establish a U.S. Holder’s initial tax basis for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the Share and Warrant. 

For this purpose, we will allocate $0.0817 of the offering price to the Share and $0.0883 of the offering price to the one-half Warrant. However, the IRS will not be bound by such allocation of the offering price, and therefore, the IRS or a U.S. court may not respect the allocation set forth above. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the allocation of the offering price

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

If the Company is considered a “passive foreign investment company” within the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code (a “PFIC”) at any time during a U.S. Holder’s holding period, the following sections will generally describe the potentially adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to U.S. Holders of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares.
  
The Company believes that it was classified as a PFIC for the tax year ended December 31, 2019, and based on current business plans and financial expectations, the Company expects that it may be a PFIC for the tax year ended December 31, 2020 and may be a PFIC in future tax years. No opinion of legal counsel or ruling from the IRS concerning the status of the Company as a PFIC has been obtained or is currently planned to be requested. The determination of whether any corporation was, or will be, a PFIC for a tax year depends, in part, on the application of complex U.S. federal income tax rules, which are subject to differing interpretations. In addition, whether any corporation will be a PFIC for any tax year depends on the assets and income of such corporation over the course of each such tax year and, as a result, the Company’s PFIC status for the current year and future years cannot be predicted with certainty as of the date of this document. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge any PFIC determination made by the Company. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the Company’s status as a PFIC and the PFIC status of each non-U.S. subsidiary of the Company.
  
In any year in which the Company is classified as a PFIC, a U.S. Holder will be required to file an annual report with the IRS containing such information as Treasury Regulations and/or other IRS guidance may require. In addition to penalties, a failure to satisfy such reporting requirements may result in an extension of the time period during which the IRS can assess a tax. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the requirements of filing such information returns under these rules, including the requirement to file an IRS Form 8621 annually.
  
The Company generally will be a PFIC for any tax year in which (a) 75% or more of the gross income of the Company for such tax year is passive income (the “PFIC income test”) or (b) 50% or more of the value of the assets of the Company either produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income, based on the quarterly average of the fair market value of such assets (the “PFIC asset test”). “Gross income” generally includes sales revenues less the cost of goods sold, plus income from investments and from incidental or outside operations or sources, and “passive income” generally includes, for example, dividends, interest, certain rents and royalties, certain gains from the sale of stock and securities, and certain gains from commodities transactions.
  
For purposes of the PFIC income test and PFIC asset test described above, if the Company owns, directly or indirectly, 25% or more of the total value of the outstanding shares of another corporation, the Company will be treated as if it (a) held a proportionate share of the assets of such other corporation and (b) received directly a proportionate share of the income of such other corporation. In addition, for purposes of the PFIC income test and PFIC asset test described above, “passive income” does not include any interest, dividends, rents, or royalties that are received or accrued by the Company from a “related person” (as defined in Section 954(d)(3) of the Code), to the extent such items are properly allocable to the income of such related person that is not passive income.
S -20

  
Under certain attribution rules, if the Company is a PFIC, U.S. Holders will be deemed to own their proportionate share of any of the Company’s subsidiaries which is also a PFIC (a “Subsidiary PFIC”), and will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax under the “Default PFIC Rules Under Section 1291 of the Code” discussed below on their proportionate share of any (i) distribution on the shares of a Subsidiary PFIC and (ii) disposition or deemed disposition of shares of a Subsidiary PFIC, both as if such U.S. Holders directly held the shares of such Subsidiary PFIC. Accordingly, U.S. Holders should be aware that they could be subject to tax under the PFIC rules even if no distributions are received and no redemptions or other dispositions of Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares are made. In addition, U.S. Holders may be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any indirect gain realized on the stock of a Subsidiary PFIC on the sale or disposition of Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares. 

Default PFIC Rules Under Section 1291 of the Code
  
If the Company is a PFIC, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder of acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares will depend on whether such U.S. Holder makes a “qualified electing fund” or “QEF” election (a “QEF Election”) or makes a mark-to-market election under Section 1296 of the Code (a “Mark-to-Market Election”) with respect to Shares or Warrant Shares. A U.S. Holder that does not make either a QEF Election or a Mark-to-Market Election (a “Non-Electing U.S. Holder”) will be taxable as described below.
  
A Non-Electing U.S. Holder will be subject to the rules of Section 1291 of the Code with respect to (a) any gain recognized on the sale or other taxable disposition of Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares and (b) any excess distribution received on the Shares and Warrant Shares. A distribution generally will be an “excess distribution” to the extent that such distribution (together with all other distributions received in the current tax year) exceeds 125% of the average distributions received during the three preceding tax years (or during a U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Shares and Warrant Shares, if shorter).
  
Under Section 1291 of the Code, any gain recognized on the sale or other taxable disposition of Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares of a PFIC (including an indirect disposition of shares of a Subsidiary PFIC), and any excess distribution received on such Shares and Warrant Shares (or a distribution by a Subsidiary PFIC to its shareholder that is deemed to be received by a U.S. Holder) must be rateably allocated to each day in a Non-Electing U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Shares or Warrant Shares. The amount of any such gain or excess distribution allocated to the tax year of disposition or distribution of the excess distribution and to years before the entity became a PFIC, if any, would be taxed as ordinary income (and not eligible for certain preferential tax rates, as discussed below). The amounts allocated to any other tax year would be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the highest tax rate applicable to ordinary income in each such year, and an interest charge would be imposed on the tax liability for each such year, calculated as if such tax liability had been due in each such year. A Non-Electing U.S. Holder that is not a corporation must treat any such interest paid as “personal interest,” which is not deductible.
  
If the Company is a PFIC for any tax year during which a Non-Electing U.S. Holder holds Shares, Warrant Shares or Warrants, it will continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such Non-Electing U.S. Holder, regardless of whether it ceases to be a PFIC in one or more subsequent tax years. If the Company ceases to be a PFIC, a Non-Electing U.S. Holder may terminate this deemed PFIC status with respect to Shares and Warrant Shares by electing to recognize gain (which will be taxed under the rules of Section 1291 of the Code as discussed above) as if such Shares and Warrant Shares were sold on the last day of the last tax year for which the Company was a PFIC. No such election, however, may be made with respect to the Warrants.
  
Under proposed Treasury Regulations, if a U.S. holder has an option, warrant, or other right to acquire stock of a PFIC (such as the Warrants), such option, warrant or right is considered to be PFIC stock subject to the default rules of Section 1291 of the Code. Under rules described below, the holding period for the Warrant Shares will begin on the date a U.S. Holder acquires the Warrants. This will impact the availability of the QEF Election and Mark-to-Market Election with respect to the Warrant Shares. Thus, a U.S. Holder will have to account for Warrant Shares and Shares under the PFIC rules and the applicable elections differently.
S -21

 
QEF Election
  
A U.S. Holder that makes a QEF Election for the first tax year in which its holding period of its Shares begins generally will not be subject to the rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed above with respect to its Shares. However, a U.S. Holder that makes a QEF Election will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on such U.S. Holder’s pro rata share of (a) the Company’s net capital gain, which will be taxed as long-term capital gain to such U.S. Holder, and (b) the Company’s ordinary earnings, which will be taxed as ordinary income to such U.S. Holder. Generally, “net capital gain” is the excess of (a) net long-term capital gain over (b) net short-term capital loss, and “ordinary earnings” are the excess of (a) “earnings and profits” over (b) net capital gain. A U.S. Holder that makes a QEF Election will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on such amounts for each tax year in which the Company is a PFIC, regardless of whether such amounts are actually distributed to such U.S. Holder by the Company. However, for any tax year in which the Company is a PFIC and has no net income or gain, U.S. Holders that have made a QEF Election would not have any income inclusions as a result of the QEF Election. If a U.S. Holder that made a QEF Election has an income inclusion, such a U.S. Holder may, subject to certain limitations, elect to defer payment of current U.S. federal income tax on such amounts, subject to an interest charge. If such U.S. Holder is not a corporation, any such interest paid will be treated as “personal interest,” which is not deductible.  

A U.S. Holder that makes a timely QEF Election generally (a) may receive a tax-free distribution from the Company to the extent that such distribution represents “earnings and profits” that were previously included in income by the U.S. Holder because of such QEF Election and (b) will adjust such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Shares to reflect the amount included in income or allowed as a tax-free distribution because of such QEF Election. In addition, a U.S. Holder that makes a QEF Election generally will recognize capital gain or loss on the sale or other taxable disposition of Shares.
  
The procedure for making a QEF Election, and the U.S. federal income tax consequences of making a QEF Election, will depend on whether such QEF Election is timely. A QEF Election will be treated as “timely” for purposes of avoiding the default PFIC rules discussed above if such QEF Election is made for the first year in the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Shares in which the Company was a PFIC. A U.S. Holder may make a timely QEF Election by filing the appropriate QEF Election documents at the time such U.S. Holder files a U.S. federal income tax return for such year.
  
A QEF Election will apply to the tax year for which such QEF Election is made and to all subsequent tax years, unless such QEF Election is invalidated or terminated or the IRS consents to revocation of such QEF Election. If a U.S. Holder makes a QEF Election and, in a subsequent tax year, the Company ceases to be a PFIC, the QEF Election will remain in effect (although it will not be applicable) during those tax years in which the Company is not a PFIC. Accordingly, if the Company becomes a PFIC in another subsequent tax year, the QEF Election will be effective and the U.S. Holder will be subject to the QEF rules described above during any subsequent tax year in which the Company qualifies as a PFIC.
  
As discussed above, under proposed Treasury Regulations, if a U.S. holder has an option, warrant or other right to acquire stock of a PFIC (such as the Warrants), such option, warrant or right is considered to be PFIC stock subject to the default rules of Section 1291 of the Code. However, a U.S. Holder of an option, warrant or other right to acquire stock of a PFIC may not make a QEF Election that will apply to the option, warrant or other right to acquire PFIC stock. In addition, under proposed Treasury Regulations, if a U.S. Holder holds an option, warrant or other right to acquire stock of a PFIC, the holding period with respect to shares of stock of the PFIC acquired upon exercise of such option, warrant or other right will include the period that the option, warrant or other right was held.
  
Consequently, under the proposed Treasury Regulations, if a U.S. Holder of Shares makes a QEF Election, such election generally will not be treated as a timely QEF Election with respect to Warrant Shares and the rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed above will continue to apply with respect to such U.S. Holder’s Warrant Shares. However, a U.S. Holder of Warrant Shares should be eligible to make a timely QEF Election if such U.S. Holder elects in the tax year in which such Warrant Shares are received to recognize gain (which will be taxed under the rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed above) as if such Warrant Shares were sold for fair market value on the date such U.S. Holder acquired them by exercising the corresponding Warrant. In addition, gain recognized on the sale or other taxable disposition (other than by exercise) of the Warrants by a U.S. Holder will be subject to the rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed above. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the application of the PFIC rules to the Shares, Warrants, and Warrant Shares.  

For each tax year that the Company qualifies as a PFIC, the Company: (a) intends to make available to U.S. Holders, upon their written request, a PFIC Annual Information Statement as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1295-1(g) (or any successor Treasury Regulation) and (b) upon written request, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such additional information that such U.S. Holder is reasonably required to obtain in connection with maintaining such QEF Election with regard to the Company.  The Company may elect to provide such information on its website. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the availability of, and procedure for making, a QEF Election.
S -22

  
A U.S. Holder makes a QEF Election by attaching a completed IRS Form 8621, including a PFIC Annual Information Statement, to a timely filed U.S. federal income tax return. However, if the Company does not provide the required information with regard to the Company or any of its Subsidiary PFICs, U.S. Holders will not be able to make a QEF Election for such entity and will continue to be subject to the rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed above that apply to Non-Electing U.S. Holders with respect to the taxation of gains and excess distributions.

Mark-to-Market Election
  
A U.S. Holder may make a Mark-to-Market Election with respect to Shares and Warrant Shares only if the Shares and Warrant Shares are marketable stock. The Shares and Warrant Shares generally will be “marketable stock” if the Shares and Warrant Shares are regularly traded on (a) a national securities exchange that is registered with the SEC, (b) the national market system established pursuant to Section 11A of the U.S. Exchange Act or (c) a foreign securities exchange that is regulated or supervised by a governmental authority of the country in which the market is located, provided that (i) such foreign exchange has trading volume, listing, financial disclosure, and other requirements and the laws of the country in which such foreign exchange is located, together with the rules of such foreign exchange, ensure that such requirements are actually enforced and (ii) the rules of such foreign exchange ensure active trading of listed stocks. If such stock is traded on such a qualified exchange or other market, such stock generally will be considered “regularly traded” for any calendar year during which such stock is traded, other than in de minimis quantities, on at least 15 days during each calendar quarter. Provided that the Shares and Warrant Shares are “regularly traded” as described in the preceding sentence, the Shares and Warrant Shares are expected to be marketable stock. The Company believes that its Shares were “regularly traded” in the fourth calendar quarter of 2019. However, there can be no assurance that the Shares will be “regularly traded” in subsequent calendar quarters. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the marketable stock rules.
  
A U.S. Holder that makes a Mark-to-Market Election with respect to its Shares generally will not be subject to the rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed above with respect to such Shares. However, if a U.S. Holder does not make a Mark-to-Market Election beginning in the first tax year of such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Shares and such U.S. Holder has not made a timely QEF Election, the rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed above will apply to certain dispositions of, and distributions on, the Shares.
  
Any Mark-to-Market Election made by a U.S. Holder for the Shares will also apply to such U.S. Holder’s Warrant Shares. As a result, if a Mark-to-Market Election has been made by a U.S. Holder with respect to Shares, any Warrant Shares received will automatically be marked-to-market in the year of exercise. Because, under the proposed Treasury Regulations, a U.S. Holder’s holding period for Warrant Shares includes the period during which such U.S. Holder held the Warrants, a U.S. Holder will be treated as making a Mark-to-Market Election with respect to its Warrant Shares after the beginning of such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Warrant Shares unless the Warrant Shares are acquired in the same tax year as the year in which the U.S. Holder acquired its Warrants. Consequently, the default rules under Section 1291 described above generally will apply to the mark-to-market gain realized in the tax year in which Warrant Shares are received. However, the general mark-to-market rules will apply to subsequent tax years.
  
A U.S. Holder that makes a Mark-to-Market Election will include in ordinary income, for each tax year in which the Company is a PFIC, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the fair market value of the Shares and any Warrant Shares, as of the close of such tax year over (b) such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Shares and any Warrant Shares. A U.S. Holder that makes a Mark-to-Market Election will be allowed a deduction in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Shares and any Warrant Shares, over (ii) the fair market value of such Shares and any Warrant Shares (but only to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the Mark-to-Market Election for prior tax years).
  
A U.S. Holder that makes a Mark-to-Market Election generally also will adjust such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Shares and Warrant Shares to reflect the amount included in gross income or allowed as a deduction because of such Mark-to-Market Election. In addition, upon a sale or other taxable disposition of Shares and Warrant Shares, a U.S. Holder that makes a Mark-to-Market Election will recognize ordinary income or ordinary loss (not to exceed the excess, if any, of (a) the amount included in ordinary income because of such Mark-to-Market Election for prior tax years over (b) the amount allowed as a deduction because of such Mark-to-Market Election for prior tax years).
S -23

  
A U.S. Holder makes a Mark-to-Market Election by attaching a completed IRS Form 8621 to a timely filed U.S. federal income tax return. A timely Mark-to-Market Election applies to the tax year in which such Mark-to-Market Election is made and to each subsequent tax year, unless the Shares and Warrant Shares cease to be “marketable stock” or the IRS consents to revocation of such election. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the availability of, and procedure for making, a Mark-to-Market Election.  

Although a U.S. Holder may be eligible to make a Mark-to-Market Election with respect to the Shares and Warrant Shares, no such election may be made with respect to the stock of any Subsidiary PFIC that a U.S. Holder is treated as owning because such stock is not marketable. Hence, the Mark-to-Market Election will not be effective to eliminate the interest charge and other income inclusion rules described above with respect to deemed dispositions of Subsidiary PFIC stock or distributions from a Subsidiary PFIC to its shareholder.
 
Other PFIC Rules
  
Under Section 1291(f) of the Code, the IRS has issued proposed Treasury Regulations that, subject to certain exceptions, would cause a U.S. Holder that had not made a timely QEF Election to recognize gain (but not loss) upon certain transfers of Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares that would otherwise be tax-deferred (e.g., gifts and exchanges pursuant to corporate reorganizations). However, the specific U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder may vary based on the manner in which Shares, Warrants, or Warrant Shares are transferred.
  
If finalized in their current form, the proposed Treasury Regulations applicable to PFICs would be effective for transactions occurring on or after April 1, 1992. Because the proposed Treasury Regulations have not yet been adopted in final form, they are not currently effective, and there is no assurance that they will be adopted in the form and with the effective date proposed. Nevertheless, the IRS has announced that, in the absence of final Treasury Regulations, taxpayers may apply reasonable interpretations of the Code provisions applicable to PFICs and that it considers the rules set forth in the proposed Treasury Regulations to be reasonable interpretations of those Code provisions. The PFIC rules are complex, and the implementation of certain aspects of the PFIC rules requires the issuance of Treasury Regulations which in many instances have not been promulgated and which, when promulgated, may have retroactive effect. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors about the potential applicability of the proposed Treasury Regulations.
  
Certain additional adverse rules will apply with respect to a U.S. Holder if the Company is a PFIC, regardless of whether such U.S. Holder makes a QEF Election. For example under Section 1298(b)(6) of the Code, a U.S. Holder that uses Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares as security for a loan will, except as may be provided in Treasury Regulations, be treated as having made a taxable disposition of such Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares.
  
In addition, a U.S. Holder who acquires Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares from a decedent will not receive a “step up” in tax basis of such Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares to fair market value.  

Special rules also apply to the amount of foreign tax credit that a U.S. Holder may claim on a distribution from a PFIC. Subject to such special rules, foreign taxes paid with respect to any distribution in respect of stock in a PFIC are generally eligible for the foreign tax credit. The rules relating to distributions by a PFIC and their eligibility for the foreign tax credit are complicated, and a U.S. Holder should consult with their own tax advisor regarding the availability of the foreign tax credit with respect to distributions by a PFIC.
  
The PFIC rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the PFIC rules (including the applicability and advisability of a QEF Election and Mark-to-Market Election) and how the PFIC rules may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Exercise and Disposition of Warrants
S -24

  
The following discussion describes the general rules applicable to the ownership and disposition of the Warrants but is subject in its entirety to the special rules described above under the heading “Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules.”
  
Exercise of Warrants
  
A U.S. Holder should not recognize gain or loss on the exercise of a Warrant and related receipt of a Warrant Share (unless cash is received in lieu of the issuance of a fractional Warrant Share). A U.S. Holder’s initial tax basis in the Warrant Share received on the exercise of a Warrant should be equal to the sum of (a) such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in such Warrant plus (b) the exercise price paid by such U.S. Holder on the exercise of such Warrant. If, as anticipated, the Company is a PFIC, a U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Warrant Share will begin on the date on which such U.S. Holder acquired its Warrants.

In certain limited circumstances, a U.S. Holder may be permitted to undertake a cashless exercise of Warrants into Warrant Shares.  The U.S. federal income tax treatment of a cashless exercise of Warrants into Warrant Shares is unclear, and the tax consequences of a cashless exercise could differ from the consequences upon the exercise of a Warrant described in the preceding paragraph.  U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of a cashless exercise of Warrants.
  
Disposition of Warrants
  
A U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss on the sale or other taxable disposition of a Warrant in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (a) the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received and (b) such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Warrant sold or otherwise disposed of. Subject to the PFIC rules discussed above, any such gain or loss generally will be a capital gain or loss, which will be long-term capital gain or loss if the Warrant is held for more than one year. Deductions for capital losses are subject to complex limitations under the Code.
 
Expiration of Warrants Without Exercise
  
Upon the lapse or expiration of a Warrant, a U.S. Holder will recognize a loss in an amount equal to such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Warrant. Any such loss generally will be a capital loss and will be long-term capital loss if the Warrants are held for more than one year. Deductions for capital losses are subject to complex limitations under the Code.

Certain Adjustments to the Warrants
  
Under Section 305 of the Code, an adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares that will be issued on the exercise of the Warrants, or an adjustment to the exercise price of the Warrants, may be treated as a constructive distribution to a U.S. Holder of the Warrants if, and to the extent that, such adjustment has the effect of increasing such U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in the “earnings and profits” or the Company’s assets, depending on the circumstances of such adjustment (for example, if such adjustment is to compensate for a distribution of cash or other property to the shareholders). Adjustments to the exercise price of Warrants made pursuant to a bona fide reasonable adjustment formula that has the effect of preventing dilution of the interest of the holders of the Warrants should generally not be considered to result in a constructive distribution. Any such constructive distribution would be taxable whether or not there is an actual distribution of cash or other property. (See more detailed discussion of the rules applicable to distributions made by the Company at “Distributions on Shares and Warrant Shares” below).  

General Rules Applicable to U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Acquisition, Ownership, and Disposition of Shares and Warrant Shares
  
The following discussion describes the general rules applicable to the ownership and disposition of the Shares and Warrant Shares but is subject in its entirety to the special rules described above under the heading “Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules.”

Distributions on Shares and Warrant Shares
S -25

  
A U.S. Holder that receives a distribution, including a constructive distribution, with respect to a Share or Warrant Share (as well as any constructive distribution on a Warrant as described above) will be required to include the amount of such distribution in gross income as a dividend (without reduction for any Canadian income tax withheld from such distribution) to the extent of our current and accumulated “earnings and profits”, as computed under U.S. federal income tax principles. A dividend generally will be taxed to a U.S. Holder at ordinary income tax rates if the Company is a PFIC for the tax year of such distribution or the preceding tax year. To the extent that a distribution exceeds the current and accumulated “earnings and profits” of the Company, such distribution will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of a U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Shares or Warrant Shares and thereafter as gain from the sale or exchange of such Shares or Warrant Shares (see “Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Shares and/or Warrant Shares” below). However, the Company may not maintain the calculations of earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles, and each U.S. Holder may be required to assume that any distribution by the Company with respect to the Shares or Warrant Shares will constitute ordinary dividend income. Dividends received on Shares or Warrant Shares generally will not be eligible for the “dividends received deduction” generally applicable to corporations. Subject to applicable limitations and provided the Company is eligible for the benefits of the Convention Between Canada and the United States of America with Respect to Taxes on Income and on Capital, signed September 26, 1980, as amended, or the Shares are readily tradable on a United States securities market, dividends paid by the Company to non-corporate U.S. Holders, including individuals, generally will be eligible for the preferential tax rates applicable to long-term capital gains for dividends, provided certain holding period and other conditions are satisfied, including that the Company not be classified as a PFIC in the tax year of distribution or in the preceding tax year. The dividend rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the application of such rules.
 
Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Shares and/or Warrant Shares
  
Upon the sale or other taxable disposition of Shares or Warrant Shares, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between (a) the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received and (b) such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in such Shares or Warrant Shares sold or otherwise disposed of. Gain or loss recognized on such sale or other taxable disposition generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if, at the time of the sale or other taxable disposition, the Shares or Warrant Shares have been held for more than one year. Preferential tax rates may apply to long-term capital gain of a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate, or trust. There are no preferential tax rates for long-term capital gain of a U.S. Holder that is a corporation. Deductions for capital losses are subject to significant limitations under the Code.

Additional Tax Considerations
  
Receipt of Foreign Currency
  
The amount of any distribution paid to a U.S. Holder in foreign currency or on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares generally will be equal to the U.S. dollar value of such foreign currency based on the exchange rate applicable on the date of receipt (regardless of whether such foreign currency is converted into U.S. dollars at that time). If the foreign currency received is not converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder will have a tax basis in the foreign currency equal to its U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt. Any U.S. Holder who receives payment in foreign currency and engages in a subsequent conversion or other disposition of the foreign currency may have a foreign currency exchange gain or loss that would be treated as ordinary income or loss, and generally will be U.S. source income or loss for foreign tax credit purposes. Different rules apply to U.S. Holders who use the accrual method of tax accounting. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own U.S. tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of receiving, owning, and disposing of foreign currency.  

Foreign Tax Credit
  
Subject to the PFIC rules discussed above, a U.S. Holder that pays (whether directly or through withholding) Canadian income tax with respect to dividends paid on the Shares or Warrant Shares (or with respect to any constructive dividend on the Warrants) generally will be entitled, at the election of such U.S. Holder, to receive either a deduction or a credit for such Canadian income tax paid. Generally, a credit will reduce a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability on a dollar-for-dollar basis, whereas a deduction will reduce a U.S. Holder’s income subject to U.S. federal income tax. This election is made on a year-by-year basis and applies to all foreign taxes paid or accrued (whether directly or through withholding) by a U.S. Holder during a year.  The foreign tax credit rules are complex and involve the application of rules that depend on a U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances.  Accordingly, each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the foreign tax credit rules.
S -26

  
Information Reporting; Backup Withholding Tax
  
Under U.S. federal income tax laws certain categories of U.S. Holders must file information returns with respect to their investment in, or involvement in, a foreign corporation. For example, U.S. return disclosure obligations (and related penalties) are imposed on U.S. Holders that hold certain specified foreign financial assets in excess of certain threshold amounts. The definition of specified foreign financial assets includes not only financial accounts maintained in foreign financial institutions, but also, unless held in accounts maintained by a financial institution, any stock or security issued by a non-U.S. person. U. S. Holders may be subject to these reporting requirements unless their Shares, Warrants, and Warrant Shares are held in an account at certain financial institutions. Penalties for failure to file certain of these information returns are substantial. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the requirements of filing information returns, including the requirement to file IRS Form 8938.  

Payments made within the U.S., or by a U.S. payor or U.S. middleman, of dividends on, and proceeds arising from the sale or other taxable disposition of the Shares, Warrants and Warrant Shares generally may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding tax, currently at the rate of 24%, if a U.S. Holder (a) fails to furnish its correct U.S. taxpayer identification number (generally on Form W-9), (b) furnishes an incorrect U.S. taxpayer identification number, (c) is notified by the IRS that such U.S. Holder has previously failed to properly report items subject to backup withholding tax, or (d) fails to certify, under penalty of perjury, that it has furnished its correct U.S. taxpayer identification number and that the IRS has not notified such U.S. Holder that it is subject to backup withholding tax. However, certain exempt persons, such as U.S. Holders that are corporations, generally are excluded from these information reporting and backup withholding tax rules. Any amounts withheld under the U.S. backup withholding tax rules will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, or will be refunded, if such U.S. Holder furnishes required information to the IRS in a timely manner.
  
The discussion of reporting requirements set forth above is not intended to constitute a complete description of all reporting requirements that may apply to a U.S. Holder. A failure to satisfy certain reporting requirements may result in an extension of the time period during which the IRS can assess a tax and, under certain circumstances, such an extension may apply to assessments of amounts unrelated to any unsatisfied reporting requirement. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisors regarding the information reporting and backup withholding rules.
  
THE ABOVE SUMMARY IS NOT INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE A COMPLETE ANALYSIS OF ALL TAX CONSIDERATIONS APPLICABLE TO U.S. HOLDERS WITH RESPECT TO THE ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP, AND DISPOSITION OF SHARES, WARRANTS AND WARRANT SHARES. U.S. HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE TAX CONSIDERATIONS APPLICABLE TO THEM IN THEIR OWN PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We have engaged H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC, to act as our exclusive placement agent in connection with this Offering of our Securities pursuant to this Prospectus Supplement and the Registration Statement. Under the terms of the engagement agreement, the Placement Agent has agreed to be our exclusive placement agent, on a reasonable best-efforts basis, in connection with the issuance and sale by us of the securities in this takedown from our shelf Registration Statement. The terms of this Offering were subject to market conditions and negotiations between us, the Placement Agent and the investors. The engagement agreement does not give rise to any commitment by the Placement Agent to purchase any of our Securities, and the Placement Agent will have no authority to bind us by virtue of the engagement agreement. Further, the Placement Agent does not guarantee that it will be able to raise new capital in any prospective offering. The Placement Agent may engage sub-agents or selected dealers to assist with the Offering.
S -27


The Placement Agent proposes to arrange for the sale of the Securities we are offering pursuant to this Prospectus Supplement and the Registration Statement to one or more investors through a securities purchase agreement directly between the investors and us. We will only sell to investors who have entered into the securities purchase agreement. We expect to deliver the Securities being offered pursuant to this Prospectus Supplement on or about March 27, 2020, subject to satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions.

Fees and Expenses

We have agreed to pay the Placement Agent a total cash fee equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds of this Offering. We will also pay the Placement Agent up to $75,000 for all reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Placement Agent (including fees and expenses of legal counsel) in connection with the matters contemplated by our agreement with the Placement Agent, as well as $12,900 for clearing fees.

We estimate the total expenses payable by us for this Offering will be approximately $304,600, which amount includes the Placement Agent fees and expenses.

Placement Agent Warrants

We have agreed to issue to Wainwright the Placement Agent Warrants to purchase up to 490,000 Shares, representing 7.0% of the aggregate number of Common Shares sold in this Offering. The Placement Agent Warrants will have an exercise price equal to $0.2125, or 125% of the offering price per Common Share and Warrant combination and will be exercisable for 5 years from the date of this Prospectus Supplement. Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(g), the Placement Agent Warrants and any Shares issued upon exercise of the Placement Agent Warrants shall not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the date of effectiveness or commencement of sales of this Offering, except the transfer of any security: (i) by operation of law or by reason of our reorganization; (ii) to any FINRA member firm participating in the Offering and the officers or partners thereof; (iii) if the aggregate amount of our securities held by the Placement Agent or related persons do not exceed 1% of the securities being offered; (iv) that is beneficially owned on a pro-rata basis by all equity owners of an investment fund, provided that no participating member manages or otherwise directs investments by the fund and the participating members in the aggregate do not own more than 10% of the equity in the fund; or (v) the exercise or conversion of any security.

Right of First Refusal
We have granted the Placement Agent, subject to certain exceptions, for a period of nine months from the Closing Date, a right of first refusal to act as sole U.S. book-running manager or placement agent for future public or private equity offering by us or any of our successors or subsidiaries. We have also agreed to a tail fee equal to the cash and warrant compensation in this Offering if any investor to which the Placement Agent introduced us with respect to this Offering during the term of its engagement provides us with further capital in a public or private offering or capital raising transaction, with certain exceptions, during the six-month period following termination of our engagement of the Placement Agent.
Indemnification
We have agreed to indemnify the Placement Agent and specified other persons against certain liabilities relating to or arising out of the Placement Agent’s activities under the engagement agreement and to contribute to payments that the Placement Agent may be required to make in respect of such liabilities.
Regulation M
The Placement Agent may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, and any commissions received by it and any profit realized on the resale of the securities sold by it while acting as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. As an underwriter, the Placement Agent would be required to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act and Rule 10b-5 and Regulation M under the Exchange Act. These rules and regulations may limit the timing of purchases and sales of Common Shares and warrants by the Placement Agent acting as principal. Under these rules and regulations, the Placement Agent:
S -28

may not engage in any stabilization activity in connection with our securities; and
may not bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities, other than as permitted under the Exchange Act, until it has completed its participation in the distribution.

Other Relationships
The Placement Agent and its respective affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with us or our affiliates. The Placement Agent has received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions for these transactions.

Listing
Our Common Shares are listed on the TSX under the symbol “TMD” and the Nasdaq under the symbol “TMDI”.

DILUTION
If you invest in our Common Shares and Warrants, you will experience dilution to the extent of the difference between the price per Common Share you pay in the Offering and the net tangible book value per share of our Common Share immediately after the Offering.  As of September 30, 2019, we had a net tangible book value of approximately $(18,394,273) or $(0.55) per Common Share, based upon 33,567,399 Common Shares outstanding on such date. Net tangible book value per Share represents the amount of our total tangible assets reduced by the amount of our total liabilities and divided by the total number of Common Shares outstanding.
Dilution in net tangible book value per Share to new investors in the Offering represents the difference between the amount per Share paid by purchasers in the Offering and the net tangible book value per Common Share immediately after the completion of the Offering. After giving effect to  the sale of the Common Shares and Warrants offered by us hereby, as set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus Supplement, and after deducting the Placement Agent fees and commissions and estimated Offering expenses payable by us, in the amount of $304,600, but not giving effect to (i) any exercise of 3,500,000 investor warrants and 490,000 broker warrants from this offering, (ii) estimated non-cash costs of the warrants issued to the Placement Agent, (iii) any exercise of outstanding stock options, (iv) any exercise of outstanding broker warrants and (v) any exercise of outstanding warrants, our net tangible book value as of September 30, 2019, after giving effect to the above, would have been $(17,508,873) or $(0.43) per Common Share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $0.12 per share to existing stockholders and an immediate decrease of $(0.60) per share to new investors in our Common Shares.
New investors will experience further dilution if any of our outstanding stock options are exercised or new stock options are issued and exercised under our equity incentive plan. Additionally, we may choose to raise additional capital through the sale of equity or other securities based on market conditions or strategic considerations. To the end, that we raise additional capital in this manner, the issuance of such securities could result in further dilution to stockholders.

This Prospectus constitutes a public offering of the Securities only in those jurisdictions where they may be lawfully offered for sale and only by persons permitted to sell the Securities in those jurisdictions.  We may offer and sell Securities to, or through, underwriters or dealers and also may offer and sell certain Securities directly to other purchasers or through agents pursuant to exemptions from registration or qualification under applicable securities laws.  A Prospectus Supplement relating to each issue of Securities offered thereby will set forth the names of any underwriters, dealers, or agents involved in the Offering and sale of the Securities and will set forth the terms of the Offering of the Securities, the method of distribution of the Securities including, to the extent applicable, the proceeds we will receive and any fees, discounts or any other compensation payable to underwriters, dealers or agents and any other material terms of the plan of distribution.
 
The outstanding Common Shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) under the symbol “TMD” and the NASDAQ (the “Nasdaq”) under the symbol “TMDI”.  On July 29, 2019 (the last trading day prior to the date of this Prospectus), the closing price of the Common Shares on: (i) the TSX was CAD $2.85; and (ii) the Nasdaq was $2.15.  We will apply to have any Common Shares distributed under this Prospectus listed on the TSX and the Nasdaq provided the Common Shares are currently listed or traded on such exchanges.  Any listing and admission will be subject to Titan fulfilling all of the listing requirements of the TSX and the Nasdaq, respectively.  Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, no Securities, other than Common Shares, will be listed or admitted to trading on any securities exchange.

The enforcement by investors of civil liabilities under United States federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that Titan is incorporated and governed under the laws of the Province of Ontario, Canada, that a number of our officers and directors are residents of countries other than the United States, that some or all of the underwriters, if any, may be residents of a foreign country, and a substantial portion of our assets and some of said persons are located outside the United States.
 
No underwriter has been involved in the preparation of this Prospectus nor has any underwriter performed any review of the contents of this Prospectus.

RISK FACTORS
 
An investment in our Securities is highly speculative and subject to a number of known and unknown risks.  Only those persons who can bear the risk of the entire loss of their investment should purchase our Securities.  You should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below along with the risk factors in the 40-F, the March 2019 MD&A and the other information contained in this Prospectus, as updated by our subsequent filings under the U.S. Exchange Act, and the risk factors and other information contained in any applicable Prospectus Supplement, before purchasing any of our Securities.
 
You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.
In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional Common Shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares at prices that may not be the same as the price per share paid by any investor in an offering in a subsequent Prospectus Supplement. We may sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is less than the price per share or other security paid by any investor in an offering in a subsequent Prospectus Supplement, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to you. The price per share at which we sell additional Common Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares, in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share paid by any investor in an offering under a subsequent Prospectus Supplement.
There can be no assurance as to the liquidity of the trading market for certain Securities or that a trading market for certain Securities will develop.
With the exception of certain warrants previously issued by us and listed on the TSX, there is no public market for our warrants, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Company does not intend to apply for listing of Warrants. If these securities are traded after their initial issue, they may trade at a discount from their initial offering prices depending on the market for similar securities, prevailing interest rates and other factors, including general economic conditions and the Company’s financial condition. There can be no assurance as to the liquidity of the trading market for any Warrants or that a trading market for these securities will develop.
There will be no market for the Units.
We have not applied and do not intend to apply to list the Units on any securities exchange. There will be no market through which Units may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell Units purchased in any Offering. If the Units are traded after their initial issue, they may trade at a discount from their initial offering prices depending on the market conditions, prevailing interest rates and other factors, including general economic conditions and our financial condition.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL

Common Shares
 
Our authorized share capital consists of an unlimited number of Common Shares with no par value of which 31,150,237 were issued and outstanding as at March 31, 2019.

The holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive notice of and to attend all annual and special meetings of our shareholders and to one vote in respect of each Common Share held at the record date for each such meeting. The holders of Common Shares are entitled, at the discretion of the Board, to receive out of any or all of our profits or surplus properly available for the payment of dividends, any dividend declared by the Board and payable by us on the Common Shares. The holders of the Common Shares will participate pro rata in any distribution of our assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up or other distribution of our assets. Such participation will be subject to the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attached to any of our securities issued and outstanding at such time ranking in priority to the Common Shares upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up. Common Shares are issued, on authorization and approval from the Board, from treasury without par value and only as fully paid and are non-assessable. Common Shares will only be issued through the book-based system administered by CDS in Canada and by DTC in the United States, except in limited circumstances.
 
Warrants
As of the date of this prospectus, we have 21,203,411 warrants outstanding to purchase Common Shares at exercise prices ranging from $3.20 to $36.07. The holders of Warrants are entitled to exercise, prior to expiry of the Warrant, a Warrant to purchase an equal number of Common Shares upon delivery to the Company of the aggregate price specified in the Warrant for receiving a Common Share. Only on receipt of a Common Share, and not prior, is a person entitled to the rights that holders of Common Shares (as outlined above) are entitled to.
9

All outstanding warrants are governed by warrant indentures entered into between the Company and Computershare Trust Company of Canada (or its predecessor, Olympia Transfer Services Inc.), as warrant agent thereunder, and/or warrant certificates, as the case may be, dated the date of issue of each series of warrants.

Share Options
 
The Company has established a stock option plan for officers, directors, employees and service providers of the Company, prepared in compliance with the requirements of the TSX, which is administered by the Board.  As of the date of this Prospectus, we have 960,195 Common Share options outstanding with an exercise price that ranges between 1.55 and 43.28.
  
Share Capital History

On June 19, 2018, a share consolidation, on the basis of 30 pre-consolidation Common Shares forming one post-consolidation Common Share, was completed and our outstanding common shares were adjusted from 419,888,250 to 13,996,275.  The number of Common Shares purchasable upon the exercise of each warrant, broker warrant and stock option has been adjusted one to 0.033333 (requiring 30 warrants, 30 broker warrants or 30 options, as the case may be, to purchase one Common Share).  Where appropriate, all references to units, Common Shares, warrants, and stock options have been updated to reflect the 1:30 share consolidation.

MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION
Incorporation

We are an Ontario corporation, being the successor corporation formed pursuant to an amalgamation under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “OBCA”) on July 28, 2008.
 Objects and Purposes of the Company
Our articles do not contain and are not required to contain a description of our objects and purposes. There is no restriction contained in our articles on the business that we may carry on.
Voting on Certain Proposal, Arrangement, Contract or Compensation by Directors

Other than as disclosed below, neither our articles nor our corporate by-laws restrict our directors’ power to (a) vote on a proposal, arrangement or contract in which the directors are materially interested or (b) to vote with regard to compensation payable to themselves or any other members of their body in the absence of an independent quorum.
Our corporate by-laws provide that a director or officer who: (a) is a party to; or (b) is a director or an officer of, or has a material interest in, any person who is a party to; a material contract or transaction or proposed material contract or transaction with us shall disclose the nature and extent of such director’s or officer’s interest at the time and in the manner provided by the OBCA. Any such contract or transaction or proposed material contract or transaction shall be referred to our Board or shareholders for approval in accordance with the OBCA even if such contract or proposed material contract or transaction is one that in the ordinary course of our business would not require approval by our Board or shareholders, and a director interested in a contract or transaction so referred to our Board shall not attend any part of a meeting of our Board during which the contract or transaction is discussed and shall not vote on any resolution to approve such contract or transaction except as provided by the OBCA.
Subject to our articles and any unanimous shareholder agreement, our directors shall be paid such remuneration for their services as our Board may from time to time determine. Our directors shall also be entitled to be reimbursed for travelling and other expenses properly incurred by them in attending meetings of our Board or any committee thereof.
The OBCA provides that a director who holds a disclosable interest in a contract or transaction into which we have entered or propose to enter shall not attend any part of a meeting of directors during which the contract or transaction is discussed and shall not vote on any resolution to approve the contract or transaction unless it is a contract or transaction: (i) relating primarily to such director’s remuneration as a director of the company or one of our affiliates; (ii) for indemnity or insurance for the benefit of such director in his/her capacity as a director; or (iii) with one of our affiliates.
A director or officer who holds a disclosable interest in a contract or transaction into which we have entered or propose to enter is not accountable to us or our shareholders for any profit or gain realized from the contract or transaction and the contract or transaction is neither void nor voidable by reason only of that relationship or by reason only that the director is present at or is counted to determine the presence of a quorum at the meeting of directors that authorized the contract or transaction, if the director or officer disclosed his or her interest in accordance with the OBCA and the contract or transaction was reasonable and fair to us at the time it was approved.

The OBCA provides that a director or officer generally holds a disclosable interest in a contract or transaction if either (a) the director or officer is a party to the contract or transaction with us or a proposed contract or transaction with us, and such contract or transaction is material to us; or (b) the director or officer is a director or an officer of, or has a material interest in, any person who is a party to a material contract or transaction or proposed material contract or transaction with us.
12

Borrowing Powers of Directors

Our articles and corporate by-laws provide that, if authorized by our directors, we may:
borrow money upon our credit;
   
issue sell or pledge debt obligations (including bonds, debentures, notes or other similar obligations, secured or unsecured) of the Company; and
   
   
charge, mortgage, hypothecate, pledge all or any of the currently owned or subsequently acquired real or personal, movable or immovable, property of the Company, including book debts, rights, powers, franchises and undertakings, to secure any debt obligations or money borrowed, or other debt or liability of the Company.
Amendment to the borrowing powers described above requires an amendment to our articles and corporate by-laws. Our articles and corporate by-laws do not contain any provisions in connection with amending the by-laws. The OBCA provides that our Board may by resolution, make, amend or repeal any by-laws that regulate our business and affairs and that our Board will submit such by-law, amendment or repeal to our shareholders at the next meeting of shareholders and the shareholders may, by ordinary resolution, confirm, reject or amend the by-law, amendment or repeal.
Qualifications of Directors

Under our articles and corporate by-laws, a director is not required to hold a share in our capital as qualification for his or her office but must be qualified as required by the OBCA to become, act or continue to act as a director. The OBCA provides that the following persons are disqualified from being a director of a corporation: (i) a person who is less than 18 years of age; (ii) a person who has been found under the Substitute Decisions Act, 1992 or under the Mental Health Act to be incapable of managing property or who has been found to be incapable by a court in Canada or elsewhere; (iii) a person who is not an individual; and (iv) a person who has the status of a bankrupt.
Subject to the OBCA, at least 25% of the directors must be resident Canadians. If we have less than four directors, at least one director must be a resident Canadian.
Share Rights
See the discussion in the section of this prospectus entitled “Description of Share Capital” for a summary of our authorized capital and the rights attached to our common shares.
Procedures to Change the Rights of Shareholders

The rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to our shares are contained in our articles and such rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions may be changed by amending our articles. In order to amend our articles, the OBCA requires a resolution to be passed by a majority of not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by the shareholders entitled to vote thereon. In addition, if we resolve to make particular types of amendments to our articles, a holder of our shares may dissent with regard to such resolution and, if such shareholder so elects, we would have to pay such shareholder the fair value of the shares held by the shareholder in respect of which the shareholder dissents as of the close of business on the day before the resolution was adopted. The types of amendments that would be subject to dissent rights include without limitation: (i) to add, remove or change restrictions on the issue, transfer or ownership of shares of a class or series of our shares; and (ii) to add, remove or change any restriction upon the business that we may carry on or upon the powers that we may exercise.
13

Meetings
Each director holds office until our next annual general meeting or until his office is earlier vacated in accordance with our articles or with the provisions of the OBCA. A director appointed or elected to fill a vacancy on our board also holds office until our next annual general meeting.
Annual meetings of our shareholders must be held at such time in each year not more than 15 months after the last annual meeting, as our Board may determine. Notice of the time and place of a meeting of shareholders must be sent not less than twenty-one days and not more than fifty days, before the meeting.
Meetings of our shareholders shall be held at our registered office or, if our Board shall so determine, at some other place in Ontario or, at some place outside Ontario if all the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting so agree.
Our Board, the chair of our Board or our chief executive officer shall have power to call a special meeting of our shareholders at any time.
The OBCA provides that our shareholders may requisition a special meeting in accordance with the OBCA. The OBCA provides that the holders of not less than five percent of our issued shares that carry the right to vote at a meeting may requisition our directors to call a special meeting of shareholders for the purposes stated in the requisition.
Under our by-laws, the quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of our shareholders is one person, present in person or by proxy and holding in aggregate not less than 20% of our issued shares entitled to vote at such meeting.
Limitations on Ownership of Securities

There is no limitation imposed by the laws of Canada or by the Company’s constating documents on the right of a non-resident to hold or vote the Common Shares, other than as provided in the Investment Canada Act. The following discussion summarizes the principal features of the Investment Canada Act for a non-resident who proposes to acquire the Common Shares.
The Investment Canada Act requires each "non-Canadian" (as defined in the Investment Canada Act) who acquires "control" of an existing "Canadian business", where the acquisition of control is not a reviewable transaction, to file a notification in prescribed form with the responsible federal government department or departments not later than 30 days after closing. Subject to certain exemptions, a transaction that is reviewable under the Investment Canada Act may not be implemented until an application for review has been filed and the responsible Minister of the federal cabinet has determined that the investment is likely to be of "net benefit to Canada" taking into account certain factors set out in the Investment Canada Act.
Under the Investment Canada Act, an investment in the Company’s Common Shares by a non-Canadian who is a World Trade Organization member country investor that is not a state-owned enterprise, would be reviewable only if it were an investment to acquire control of the Company pursuant to the Investment Canada Act and the enterprise value of the Company’s assets (as determined pursuant to the Investment Canada Act and its regulations) was equal to or greater than CAD $1.045 billion, or CAD $1.568 billion in the case of a “trade agreement investor”. The Investment Canada Act contains various rules to determine if there has been an acquisition of control. For example, for purposes of determining whether an investor has acquired control of a corporation by acquiring shares, the following general rules apply, subject to certain exceptions: the acquisition of a majority of the undivided ownership interests in the voting shares of the corporation is deemed to be an acquisition of control of that corporation; the acquisition of less than a majority, but one-third or more, of the voting shares of a corporation or of an equivalent undivided ownership interest in the voting shares of the corporation is presumed to be an acquisition of control of that corporation unless it can be established that, on the acquisition, the corporation is not controlled in fact by the acquirer through the ownership of voting shares; and the acquisition of less than one third of the voting shares of a corporation or of an equivalent undivided ownership interest in the voting shares of the corporation is deemed not to be an acquisition of control of that corporation.
14

Under the Investment Canada Act, a national security review on a discretionary basis may also be undertaken by the federal government with respect to any investment by a non-Canadian to "acquire, in whole or part, or to establish an entity carrying on all or any part of its operations in Canada." No financial threshold applies to a national security review. The relevant test is whether the investment by a non-Canadian could be "injurious to national security." Review on national security grounds may occur on a pre- or post-closing basis.
Certain transactions relating to the Company’s Common Shares will generally be exempt from the Investment Canada Act, subject to the federal government's prerogative to conduct a national security review, including:
(1) the acquisition of the Company’s Common Shares by a person in the ordinary course of that person's business as a trader or dealer in securities;
(2) the acquisition of control of the Company in connection with the realization of security granted for a loan or other financial assistance and not for any purpose related to the provisions of the Investment Canada Act; and
(3) the acquisition of control of the Company by reason of an amalgamation, merger, consolidation or corporate reorganization following which the ultimate direct or indirect control in fact of the Company, through ownership of the Company’s Common Shares, remains unchanged.
Change in Control

There are no provisions in our articles or by-laws that would have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company, and that would operate only with respect to a merger, acquisition or corporate restructuring involving the Company or our subsidiaries.
Ownership Threshold

Neither our by-laws nor our articles contain any provisions governing the ownership threshold above which shareholder ownership must be disclosed. In addition, securities legislation in Canada requires that we disclose in our proxy information circular for our annual meeting and certain other disclosure documents filed by us under such legislation, holders who beneficially own more than 10% of our issued and outstanding shares.
Differences in Corporate Law

We are governed by the OBCA, which is generally similar to laws applicable to United States corporations. Significant differences between the OBCA and the Delaware General Corporate Law, or DGCL, which governs companies incorporated in the State of Delaware, include the following:
Board of Director Quorum and Vote Requirements
   
Delaware
 
Ontario
   
Under the DGCL, a majority of the total number of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business unless the certificate or bylaws require a greater number. The bylaws may lower the number required for a quorum to one-third the number of directors, but no less.
 
Under the OBCA, subject to an Ontario corporation’s articles or bylaws, a majority of the number of directors or minimum number of directors required by the articles constitutes a quorum at any meeting of directors. Where a corporation has fewer than three directors, all directors must be present at any meeting to constitute a quorum.
     
Under the DGCL, the board of directors may take action by the majority vote of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present unless the certificate of incorporation or bylaws require a greater vote.
 
Under the OBCA, subject to an Ontario corporation’s articles or bylaws, where there is a vacancy or vacancies in the board of directors, the remaining directors may exercise all the powers of the board so long as a quorum of the board remains in office.
   

15

Transactions with Directors and Officers
   
   
Delaware
 
Ontario
   
The DGCL generally provides that no transaction between a corporation and one or more of its directors or officers, or between a corporation and any other corporation or other organization in which one or more of its directors or officers, are directors or officers, or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the board or committee which authorizes the transaction, or solely because any such director’s or officer’s votes are counted for such purpose, if (i) the material facts as to the director’s or officer’s interest and as to the transaction are known to the board of directors or the committee, and the board or committee in good faith authorizes the transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors be less than a quorum (ii) the material facts as to the director’s or officer’s interest and as to the transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the stockholders; or (iii) the transaction is fair as to the Company as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified, by the board of directors, a committee or the stockholders.
 
The OBCA requires that a director or officer of a corporation who is: (i) a party to a material contract or transaction or proposed material contract or transaction with the Company; or (ii) a director or an officer of, or has a material interest in, any person who is a party to a material contract to or transaction or proposed material contract or transaction with the Company shall disclose in writing to the Company or request to have entered in the minutes of meetings of directors the nature and extent of his or her interest. An interested director is prohibited from attending the part of the meeting during which the contract or transaction is discussed and is prohibited from voting on a resolution to approve the contract or transaction except in specific circumstances, such as a contract or transaction relating primarily to his or her remuneration as a director, a contract or transaction for indemnification or liability insurance of the director, or a contract or transaction with an affiliate of the Company. If a director or officer has disclosed his or her interest in accordance with the OBCA and the contract or transaction was reasonable and fair to the Company at the time it was approved, the director or officer is not accountable to the Company or its shareholders for any profit or gain realized from the contract or transaction and the contract or transaction is neither void nor voidable by reason only of the interest of the director or officer or that the director is present at or is counted to determine the presence of a quorum at the meeting of directors that authorized the contract or transaction.
   
   
The OBCA further provides that even if a director or officer does not disclose his or her interest in accordance with the OBCA, or (in the case of a director) votes in respect of a resolution on a contract or transaction in which he or she is interested contrary to the OBCA, if the director or officer acted honestly and in good faith and the contract or transaction was reasonable and fair to the Company at the time it was approved, the director or officer is not accountable to the Company or to its shareholders for any profit or gain realized from the contract or transaction by reason only of his or her holding the office of the director or officer and the contract or transaction is not by reason only of the director’s or officer’s interest therein void or voidable, if the contract or transaction has been confirmed or approved by the shareholders by special resolution, on the basis of disclosure in reasonable detail of the nature and extent of the director’s or officer’s interest in the notice of meeting or management information circular.

 Call and Notice of Stockholder Meetings
   
   
Delaware
 
Ontario
   
Under the DGCL, an annual or special stockholder meeting is held on such date, at such time and at such place as may be designated by the board of directors or any other person authorized to call such meeting under the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws. If an annual meeting for election of directors is not held on the date designated or an action by written consent to elect directors in lieu of an annual meeting has not been taken within 30 days after the date designated for the annual meeting, or if no date has been designated, for a period of 13 months after the later of the last annual meeting or the last action by written consent to elect directors in lieu of an annual meeting, the Delaware Court of Chancery may summarily order a meeting to be held upon the application of any stockholder or director.
 
Under the OBCA, the directors of a corporation are required to call an annual meeting of shareholders no later than fifteen months after holding the last preceding annual meeting. Under the OBCA, the directors of a corporation may call a special meeting at any time. In addition, holders of not less than five percent of the issued shares of a corporation that carry the right to vote at a meeting sought to be held may requisition the directors to call a meeting of shareholders.
Stockholder Action by Written Consent
 
Delaware
 
Ontario
   
Under the DGCL, a majority of the stockholders of a corporation may act by written consent without a meeting unless such action is prohibited by the Company’s certificate of incorporation.
 
Under the OBCA, a written resolution signed by all the shareholders of a corporation who would have been entitled to vote on the resolution at a meeting is effective to approve the resolution.
 
     
Stockholder Nominations and Proposals
   
   
Delaware
 
Ontario
   
Not applicable.
 
Under the OBCA, a shareholder entitled to vote at a shareholders’ meeting may submit a shareholder proposal relating to matters which the shareholder wishes to propose and discuss at a shareholders’ meeting and, subject to such shareholder’s compliance with the prescribed time periods and other requirements of the OBCA pertaining to shareholder proposals, the Company is required to include such proposal in the information circular pertaining to any meeting at which it solicits proxies, subject to certain exceptions. Notice of such a proposal must be provided to the Company at least 60 days before the anniversary date of the last annual shareholders’ meeting, or at least 60 days before any other meeting at which the matter is proposed to be raised.
   
   
In addition, the OBCA requires that any shareholder proposal that includes nominations for the election of directors must be signed by one or more holders of shares representing in the aggregate not less than five per cent of the shares or five per cent of the shares of a class or series of shares of the Company entitled to vote at the meeting to which the proposal is to be presented.

Stockholder Quorum and Vote Requirements
 
   
Delaware
 
Ontario
   
Under the DGCL, quorum for a stock corporation is a majority of the shares entitled to vote at the meeting unless the certificate of incorporation or bylaws specify a different quorum, but in no event may a quorum be less than one-third of the shares entitled to vote. Unless the DGCL, certificate of incorporation or bylaws provide for a greater vote, generally the required vote under the DGCL is a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy, except for the election of directors which requires a plurality of the votes cast.
 
Under the OBCA, unless the bylaws otherwise provide, the holders of a majority of the shares of an OBCA corporation entitled to vote at a meeting of shareholders, whether present in person or represented by proxy, constitute a quorum.
 
Amendment of Governing Instrument
 
   
Delaware
 
Ontario
   
Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation. Generally, under the DGCL, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding stock entitled to vote is required to approve a proposed amendment to the certificate of incorporation, following the adoption of the amendment by the board of directors of the Company, provided that the certificate of incorporation may provide for a greater vote. Under the DGCL, holders of outstanding shares of a class or series are entitled to vote separately on an amendment to the certificate of incorporation if the amendment would have certain consequences, including changes that adversely affect the rights and preferences of such class or series.
 
Amendment of Articles. Under the OBCA, amendments to the articles of incorporation generally require the approval of not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote on the resolution.
   
Amendment of Bylaws. Under the DGCL, after a corporation has received any payment for any of its stock, the power to adopt, amend or repeal bylaws shall be vested in the stockholders entitled to vote; provided, however, that any corporation nay, in its certificate of incorporation, provide that bylaws may be adopted, amended or repealed by the board of directors. The fact that such power has been conferred upon the board of directors shall not divest the stockholders of the power nor limit their power to adopt, amend or repeal the bylaws.
 
Amendment of Bylaws. Under the OBCA, the directors may, by resolution, make, amend or repeal any bylaws that regulate the business or affairs of a corporation and they must submit the bylaw, amendment or repeal to the shareholders at the next meeting of shareholders, and the shareholders may confirm, reject or amend the bylaw, amendment or repeal.
   
Votes on Mergers, Consolidations and Sales of Assets
   
   
Delaware
 
Ontario
   
The DGCL provides that, unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws, the adoption of a merger agreement requires the approval of a majority of the outstanding stock of the Company entitled to vote thereon.
 
Under the OBCA, the approval of at least two-thirds of votes cast by shareholders entitled to vote on the resolution is required for extraordinary corporate actions. Extraordinary corporate actions include: amalgamations; continuances; sales, leases or exchanges of all or substantially all of the property of a corporation; liquidations and dissolutions.
   

18

Dissenter’s Rights of Appraisal
   
   
Delaware
 
Ontario
   
Under the DGCL, a stockholder of a Delaware corporation generally has the right to dissent flume, merger or consolidation in which the Delaware corporation is participating, subject to specified procedural requirements, including that such dissenting stockholder does not vote in favor of the merger or consolidation. However, the DGCL does not confer appraisal rights, in certain circumstances, including if the dissenting stockholder owns shares traded on a national securities exchange and will receive publicly traded shares in the merger or consolidation. Under the DGCL, a stockholder asserting appraisal rights does not receive any payment for his or her shares until the court determines the fair value or the parties otherwise agree to a value. The costs of the proceeding may be determined by the court and assessed against the parties as the court deems equitable under the circumstances.
 
Under the OBCA each of the following matters listed will entitle shareholders to exorcise rights of dissent and to be paid the fair value of their shares: (i) any amalgamation with another corporation (other than with certain affiliated corporations); (ii) an amendment to the Company’s articles to add, change or remove any provisions restricting the issue, transfer or ownership of that class of shares; (iii) an amendment to the Company’s articles to add, change or remove any restriction upon the business or businesses that the Company may carry on; (iv) a continuance under the laws of another jurisdiction; (v) a sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all the property of the Company other than in the ordinary course of business; and (vi) where a court order permits a shareholder to dissent in connection with an application to the court for an order approving an arrangement.
 
However, a shareholder is not entitled to dissent if an amendment to the articles is effected by a court order approving a reorganization or by a court order made in connection with an action for an oppression remedy, unless otherwise authorized by the court. The OBCA provides these dissent rights for both listed and unlisted shares.
 
Under the OBCA, a shareholder may, in addition to exercising dissent rights, seek an oppression remedy for any act or omission of a corporation which is oppressive or unfairly prejudicial to or that unfairly disregards a shareholder’s interests.
 
   
Change of Control Restrictions
   
   
Delaware
 
Ontario
   
Unless an issuer opts out of the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL, Section 203 generally prohibits a public Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with a holder of 15% or more of the Company’s voting stock (as defined in Section 203), referred to as an interested stockholder, for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the interested stockholder became an interested stockholder, except as otherwise provided in Section 203. For these purposes, the term “business combination” includes mergers, assets sales and other similar transactions with an interested stockholder.
 
While the OBCA does not contain specific anti- takeover provisions with respect to “business combinations”, roles and policies of certain Canadian securities regulatory authorities, including Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”), contain requirements in connection with, among other things, ‘related party transactions” and “business combinations”, including, among other things, any transaction by which an issuer directly or indirectly engages in the following with a related party: acquires, sells, leases or transfers an asset, acquires the related party, acquires or issues treasury securities, amends the terms of a security if the security is owned by the related party or assumes or becomes subject to a liability or takes certain other actions with respect to debt.
 
19

     
   
The term “related party” includes directors, senior officers and holders of more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all outstanding voting securities of the issuer or holders of a sufficient number of any securities of the issuer to materially affect control of the issuer.
   
   
MI 61-101 requires, subject to certain exceptions, the preparation of a formal valuation relating to certain aspects of the transaction and more detailed disclosure in the proxy material sent to security holders in connection with a related party transaction including related to the valuation. MI 61-101 also requires, subject to certain exceptions, that an issuer not engage in a related party transaction unless the shareholders of the issuer, other than the related parties, approve the transaction by a simple majority of the votes cast.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Unless otherwise specified in a Prospectus Supplement, the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities will be used to continue developing our single-port robotic surgical system, to prepare our regulatory filings in anticipation of commercialization and for general corporate purposes, including funding working capital, potential future acquisitions and capital expenditures.

We anticipate the successful completion of prerequisite live animal and human cadaver studies early in the third quarter of 2019, and plan to file our IDE application with the FDA by the end of the third quarter of 2019. Although timing of our IDE application approval by the FDA, and Institutional Review Board approvals by each IDE hospital site, cannot be precisely known, we continue to target the filing of a 510(k) application with the FDA by year end 2019.

As a result of this timeline, over the course of the next two quarters, ending September 30 and December 31, 2019, we approximate our cash needs to be $25.7 million and $16.6 million respectively. We estimate that this capital will be sufficient for us to fund our operations through to December 31, 2019, which is the target date for filing our 510(k) application with the FDA.

Anticipated Use of Funding for Third Quarter of 2019

During the third quarter of 2019, we expect to use $25.7 million to complete the following milestones:
Complete and document preclinical live animal (swine) and cadaver studies according to final protocols for FDA submittal;
Submit IDE application to FDA;
Obtain ISO 13485 Certification; and
Receive IDE approval from FDA.

Anticipated Use of Funding for Fourth Quarter of 2019

During the fourth quarter of 2019, we expect to use $16.6 million to complete the following milestones:
Complete and document human confirmatory studies under IDE protocol for FDA submittal;

20

Submit Technical File to European Notified Body for CE Mark; and
Submit 510(k) application to FDA.

Anticipated Use of Funding for the Year 2020

We expect that, given the complexity of our robotic surgical system and the approval process for similar systems, it could take approximately six months to receive final 510(k) clearance from the FDA.  During the first and second quarters of 2020, our investment in research and development will diminish significantly as we transition to manufacturing and approach commercialization. We approximate our cash requirements to be $6.1 and $3.3 million respectively in the first and second quarters of 2020. These funds will be used in connection with preparation for manufacturing and commercialization of our robotic surgical system.

Following receipt of FDA 510(k) clearance, which we project to occur during the third quarter of 2020, we plan to commence commercialization, with initial revenue anticipated to begin during the third or fourth quarter of 2020.
Each Prospectus Supplement will contain further specific information concerning the use of proceeds from the sale of Securities covered in such Prospectus Supplement, and may modify and supersede the expected use of proceeds disclosed in this Prospectus to the extent subsequently required in light of the timeline for achievement of the milestones indicated above. All expenses relating to an Offering of Securities and any compensation paid to underwriters, dealers or agents, as the case may be, will be paid out of our general funds, unless otherwise stated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
We may sell the Securities, separately or together, to or through underwriters or dealers purchasing as principals for public offering and sale by them, and also may sell Securities to one or more other purchasers directly or through agents.  Each Prospectus Supplement will set forth the terms of the Offering, including the name or names of any underwriters or agents, if any, the purchase price or prices of the Securities and the proceeds we will receive from the sale of the Securities.
 
The Securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices which may be changed or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices including sales in transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market” distributions, including sales made directly on the TSX, Nasdaq or other existing trading markets for the securities.  The prices at which the Securities may be offered may vary as between purchasers and during the period of distribution.  If, in connection with the Offering of Securities at a fixed price or prices, the underwriters, if any, have made a bona fide effort to sell all of the Securities at the initial offering price fixed in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the public offering price may be decreased and thereafter further changed, from time to time, to an amount not greater than the initial public offering price fixed in such Prospectus Supplement, in which case the compensation realized by the underwriters will be decreased by the amount that the aggregate price paid by purchasers for the Securities is less than the gross proceeds paid to us by the underwriters.
 
Underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of the Securities may be entitled under agreements to be entered into with us to indemnification by us against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 and Canadian securities legislation, or to contribution with respect to payments which such underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make in respect thereof. Such underwriters, dealers and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us in the ordinary course of business.
 
In connection with any Offering of Securities, except as otherwise set out in a Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular Offering of Securities, the underwriters may over-allot or effect transactions intended to maintain or stabilize the market price of the Securities offered at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market.  Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
 
Common Shares
 
We may issue Common Shares.  Shares may be offered separately or together with other Securities and may be attached to or separate from any other Securities.  See “Description of Share Capital” for a description of the general terms that will apply to any Shares issued pursuant to this Prospectus.  The Shares to be issued in connection with any Offering hereunder will be authorized by our Board at such time as the Board determines to conduct an Offering hereunder.
 
Warrants
 
We may issue Warrants to purchase Shares.  This section describes the general terms that will apply to any Warrants issued pursuant to this Prospectus.  Warrants may be offered separately or together with other Securities and may be attached to or separate from any other Securities.
 
Each series of Warrants may be issued under a separate warrant indenture to be entered into between us and one or more banks or trust companies acting as Warrant agent.  The Warrant agent will act solely as our agent and will not assume a relationship of agency with any holders of Warrant certificates or beneficial owners of Warrants.
 
The applicable Prospectus Supplement will include details of the warrant indentures, if any, governing the Warrants being offered.  The specific terms of the Warrants, and the extent to which the general terms described in this section apply to those Warrants, will be set out in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.  The Prospectus Supplement relating to any Warrants we offer will describe the Warrants and the specific terms relating to the Offering.  The description will include, where applicable:

 
the designation and aggregate number of Warrants;
   
 
the price at which the Warrants will be offered;
   
 
the currency or currencies in which the Warrants will be offered;
   
 
the date on which the right to exercise the Warrants will commence and the date on which the right will expire;
   
 
the designation, number and terms of the Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of the Warrants, and the procedures that will result in the adjustment of those numbers;
   
 
the exercise price of the Warrants and any provisions for changes or adjustments in the exercise price;
   
 
the designation and  terms of the Securities, if any, with which the Warrants will be offered, and the number of Warrants that will be offered with each Security;
   
 
if the Warrants are issued as a Unit with another Security, the date, if any, on and after which the Warrants and the other Security will be separately transferable;
   
 
any minimum or maximum amount of Warrants that may be exercised at any one time;
   
 
any terms, procedures and limitations relating to the transferability, exchange or exercise of the Warrants;
   

22

 
whether the Warrants will be subject to redemption or call and, if so, the terms of such redemption or call provisions;
   
 
as applicable, material United States and Canadian federal income tax consequences of owning the Warrants; and
   
 
any other material terms or conditions of the Warrants.

Warrant certificates will be exchangeable for new Warrant certificates of different denominations at the office indicated in the Prospectus Supplement.  Prior to the exercise of their Warrants, holders of Warrants will not have any of the rights of holders of Shares. We may amend the warrant indenture(s), if any, and the Warrants, without the consent of the holders of the Warrants, to cure any ambiguity, to cure, correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision, or in any other manner that will not prejudice the rights of the holders of outstanding Warrants, as a group.
 
We have not applied and do not intend to apply to list the Warrants on any securities exchange. There will be no market through which the Warrants may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell the Warrants purchased in the Offering. This may affect the pricing of the Warrants in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the Warrants, and the extent of issuer regulation.

Units
 
We may issue Units, which may consist of one or more Shares, Warrants or any combination of Securities as is specified in the relevant Prospectus Supplement.  In addition, the relevant Prospectus Supplement relating to an Offering of Units will describe all material terms of any Units offered, including, as applicable:

 
the designation and aggregate number of Units being offered;
   
 
the price at which the Units will be offered;
   
 
the designation, number and terms of the Securities comprising the Units and any agreement governing the Units;
   
 
the date or dates, if any, on or after which the Securities comprising the Units will be transferable separately;
   
 
whether we will apply to list the Units on any exchange;
   
 
material income tax consequences of owning the Units, including how the purchase price paid for the Units will be allocated among the Securities comprising the Units; and
   
 
any other material terms or conditions of the Units.


TRADING
 
The Common Shares are listed for trading in Canada on the TSX under the symbol “TMD”. The Common Shares are also traded on the Nasdaq in the United States under the symbol “TMDI”.

DILUTION
Purchasers of Securities in an Offering may suffer immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share of Common Shares. Dilution in net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the amount per Share paid by purchasers in an Offering and the net tangible book value per share of Common Shares immediately after an Offering.

DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. 
MATERIAL CONTRACTS
 
There are no material contracts to which we are a party other than contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business.
 
EXCHANGE CONTROLS
 
There are no governmental laws, decrees, regulations or other legislation, including foreign exchange controls, in Canada which may affect the export or import of capital or that may affect the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to non-resident holders of the Company's securities. Any remittances of dividends to United States residents, however, are subject to a withholding tax pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the Canada-U.S. Income Tax Convention (1980), each as amended. Remittances of interest to U.S. residents entitled to the benefits of such Convention are generally not subject to withholding taxes except in limited circumstances involving participating interest payments. Certain other types of remittances, such as royalties paid to U.S. residents, may be subject to a withholding tax depending on all of the circumstances.
