**VISION MARINE TECHNOLOGIES INC.**

**1,544,253 Common Shares, Pre-funded Warrants to Purchase 197,648 Common Shares<br> and<br> 197,648 Common Shares Underlying such Pre-funded Warrants**

We are offering 1,544,253 of our common shares, no par value per share, together with 197,648 pre-funded warrants to purchase common shares (the "Pre-funded Warrants") pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. The common shares issuable from time to time pursuant to the exercise of the Pre-funded Warrants are also being offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.

A holder of Pre-funded Warrants will not have the right to exercise any portion of its Pre-funded Warrants if the holder, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or, at the election of the holder, 9.99%) of the number of common shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. Each Pre-funded Warrant will be exercisable for one common share at an exercise price of US$0.001 per common share. The offering price is US$4.209 per Pre-funded Warrant, which is equal to the offering price per common share less US$0.001. Each Pre-funded Warrant will be exercisable upon issuance and will expire when exercised in full. There is no established public trading market for the Pre-funded Warrants, and we do not expect a market to develop. We do not intend to apply for listing of the Pre-funded Warrants on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the "Nasdaq") or any other securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of the Pre-funded Warrants will be limited.

Concurrently, we will offer in a private placement to the purchasers in this offering 1,741,901 unregistered common share purchase warrants (the "Common Warrants") to purchase up to 1,741,901 common shares at an exercise price of US$4.21 per share. The Common Warrants are exercisable six months following the date of issuance, and will expire three years from the date of issuance. The Common Warrants and the common shares issuable upon exercise of the Common Warrants are being offered pursuant to the exemptions provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and are not being offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. There is no established trading market for the Common Warrants and we do not expect a market to develop.

Our common shares trade on the Nasdaq under the symbol "VMAR." The last reported sale price of our common shares on the Nasdaq on January 20, 2023 was US$4.58 per share. For a more detailed description of our common shares and Pre-funded Warrants, see the section entitled "Description of the Securities we are Offering" beginning on page 9 of this prospectus supplement.

As of January 20, 2023, the aggregate market value of our outstanding common shares held by non-affiliates, or public float, was approximately US$25,612,514 based on 8,450,154 common shares outstanding, of which 3,750,610 shares were held by affiliates as of such date, and a price of US$5.45 per share, which was the highest reported closing sale price of our common shares on the Nasdaq in the 60 days prior to such date. Accordingly, we are subject to the limitations set forth in General Instruction I.B.5 of Form F-3. During the 12-month period prior to and including the date of this prospectus supplement, we did not offer any securities pursuant to General Instruction I.B.5 of Form F-3. Pursuant to General Instruction I.B.5. of Form F-3, in no event will we sell securities registered on the registration statement to which this prospectus supplement forms a part in a public primary offering with a value exceeding more than one-third of our public float in any 12-month period so long as our public float remains below US$75 million.

**ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT**

This prospectus supplement is a supplement to the accompanying prospectus that is also a part of this document. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, dated December 21, 2022, are part of a registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-267893) that we filed with the SEC utilizing a "shelf" registration process. Under this shelf registration process, we may offer and sell from time to time in one or more offerings the securities described in the accompanying prospectus.

This document is in two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the securities we are offering and the terms of the offering and also adds to and updates information contained in the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into the accompanying prospectus. The second part is the accompanying prospectus, which provides more general information, some of which may not apply to the securities offered by this prospectus supplement. To the extent there is a conflict between the information contained in this prospectus supplement, on the one hand, and the information contained in the accompanying prospectus or any document incorporated by reference therein, on the other hand, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement. We urge you to carefully read this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and any related free writing prospectus, together with the information incorporated herein and therein by reference as described under the heading "Where You Can Find More Information," before buying any of the securities being offered.

You should rely only on the information that we have provided or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and any related free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you. We have not, and the Placement Agent has not, authorized anyone to provide you with different information. No other dealer, salesperson or other person is authorized to give any information or to represent anything not contained in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus or any related free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you. You must not rely on any unauthorized information or representation. This prospectus supplement is an offer to sell only the securities offered hereby, and only under circumstances and in jurisdictions where it is lawful to do so. You should assume that the information in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus or any related free writing prospectus is accurate only as of the date on the front of the document and that any information we have incorporated by reference is accurate only as of the date of the document incorporated by reference, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus or any related free writing prospectus, or any sale of a security.

This prospectus supplement contains summaries of certain provisions contained in some of the documents described herein, but reference is made to the actual documents for complete information. All of the summaries are qualified in their entirety by the actual documents. Copies of some of the documents referred to herein have been filed, will be filed or will be incorporated by reference as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement is a part, and you may obtain copies of those documents as described below under the heading "Where You Can Find More Information."

All references to "$" or "dollars", are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated. All reference to "U.S. dollars", "USD", or to "US$" are to United States dollars.

**FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS**

This prospectus supplement, accompanying prospectus and the documents that we have filed with the SEC that are incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and may involve material risks, assumptions and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements typically are identified by the use of terms such as "may," "will," "should," "believe," "might," "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "estimate," and similar words, although some forward-looking statements are expressed differently.

Any forward looking statements contained in this prospectus supplement, accompanying prospectus and the documents that we have filed with the SEC that are incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement are only estimates or predictions of future events based on information currently available to our management and management's current beliefs about the potential outcome of future events. Whether these future events will occur as management anticipates, whether we will achieve our business objectives, and whether our revenues, operating results, or financial condition will improve in future periods are subject to numerous risks. There are a number of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated by these forward-looking statements. These important factors include those that we discuss under the heading "Risk Factors" and in other sections of our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, as well as in our other reports filed from time to time with the SEC that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. You should read these factors and the other cautionary statements made in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and in the documents we incorporate by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this prospectus supplement or the documents we incorporate by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. If one or more of these factors materialize, or if any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results, performance or achievements may vary materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

**PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY**

*This summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before investing in the securities offered by this prospectus supplement. You should read this summary together with the entire prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus, including our risk factors (as provided for herein and incorporated by reference), financial statements, the notes to those financial statements and the other documents that are incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, before making an investment decision. You should carefully read the information described under the heading "Where You Can Find More Information." We have not authorized anyone to provide you with information different from that contained in this prospectus supplement. The information contained in this prospectus supplement is accurate only as of the date of this prospectus supplement, regardless of the time of delivery of this prospectus supplement or of any sale of our securities.*

**Our Business**

We are in the business of designing and manufacturing electric outboard powertrain systems and our related technology and the renting of electric boats. We believe that our electric outboard powertrain systems are significantly more efficient and powerful than those currently being offered in the market today. In particular, we have recorded powertrain efficiencies of more than 94%, well above the 54% efficiency that we recorded for our principal competitor's product. Increases in powertrain efficiency allows for more power and range, both of which are highly desirable characteristics for consumers in the marketplace. Although our primary focus is on electric outboard powertrain technology, we will continue to design, manufacture and sell our high-performance, fully-electric boats to commercial and retail customers. According to Allied Market Research, the global electric boat market will reach US$16.60 billion in 2031, up significantly from US$5 billion in 2021, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 12.9% from 2022 to 2031.

We have developed our first fully-electric outboard powertrain system that combines an advanced battery pack, inverter, high-efficiency motor with proprietary union assembly between the transmission and the electric motor design and extensive control software. Our technologies used in this powertrain system are designed to improve the efficiency of the outboard powertrain and, as a result, increase range and performance. We believe our approach in marketing and selling our powertrain technology to boat designers and manufacturers will enable us to leverage their distribution and servicing systems with minimal capital outlay. We expect our core intellectual property contained within our outboard electric powertrain systems to form the foundation for our future growth and for such systems to represent the majority of our revenue.

We continue to manufacture hand-crafted, highly durable, low maintenance, environmentally-friendly electric recreational powerboats. In our last two fiscal years 2022 and 2021, we manufactured 58 and 49 powerboats, respectively, and we expect to manufacture approximately 60 powerboats in calendar 2023. We sell powerboats to retail customers and operators of rental fleets of powerboats through which we seek to build brand awareness. We intend to continue to build brand awareness by partnering with marina operators to offer rental fleets of electric boats. We conduct our transactions directly to customers through our website or through a network of marinas, distributors and show rooms.

In an effort to improve air quality and protect local water habitats, cities and local municipalities are beginning to ban or restrict the use of gasoline- and diesel-powered boats from local waterways, lakes and rivers. For example, Teal Lake in Michigan, USA, bans the standard use of powerboat motors fueled by gasoline or diesel. This trend is beginning to take hold in other parts of the United States, including Washington state, which has provided clear examples of the harm that gasoline products cause on local waterways, and New Hampshire, where the Department of Safety has published restrictions on the use of gasoline and diesel-powered boats across its state.

In our fiscal year 2021, we expanded our business to include rentals of electric powerboats by acquiring EB Rentals Ltd. ("EBR"), an entity that rents electric boats at the Lido Marina Village in Newport, California. In addition to generating revenues from the rental of our powerboats, EBR builds brand awareness and acts an open-water showroom for potential buyers.

**Corporate Information**

We were incorporated pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (Quebec) on August 29, 2012, under the name Riopel Marine Inc. On April 23, 2020, we changed our name to Vision Marine Technologies Inc. Our principal business is to manufacture and sell or rent electric boats. We have two wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Our principal executive offices are located at 730 Boulevard du Curé-Boivin, Boisbriand, Québec J7G 2A7, Canada, Telephone: 450-951-7009. We maintain a website at https://visionmarinetechnologies.com. Our website and the information contained therein or connected thereto are not incorporated into this prospectus supplement.

**RISK FACTORS**

*Before you make a decision to invest in our securities, you should consider carefully the risks described below, together with other information in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the information incorporated by reference herein and therein. If any of the following events actually occur, our business, operating results, prospects or financial condition could be materially and adversely affected. This could cause the trading price of our common shares to decline and you may lose all or part of your investment. The risks described below are not the only ones that we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also significantly impair our business operations and could result in a complete loss of your investment.*

*You should also carefully consider the risk factors set forth under "Risk Factors" described in our annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, together with all other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and in any related free writing prospectus in connection with a specific offering, before making an investment decision.*

**Risks Related to Our Securities and the Offering**

***If you purchase the common shares, you will experience immediate dilution as a result of this offering.***

Since the price per share of our common shares being offered is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our common shares, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the common shares you purchase in this offering or the common shares underlying the Pre-funded Warrants you purchase in this offering. After giving effect to the sale by us of (i) 1,544,253 our common shares at the offering price of US$4.21 per common share and (ii) 197,648 Pre-funded Warrants at the offering price of US$4.209 per Pre-funded Warrant (assuming full exercise of the Pre-funded Warrants), if you purchase common shares in this offering, you will suffer immediate dilution of approximately $0.45 per share in the net tangible book value of the common shares. See the section entitled "Dilution" in this prospectus supplement for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur if you purchase common shares in this offering.

***There is no public market for the Pre-funded Warrants being offered in this offering.***

There is no established public trading market for the Pre-funded Warrants being offered in this offering, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to apply to list the Pre-funded Warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system, including Nasdaq. Without an active market, the liquidity of the Pre-funded Warrants will be limited.

***Holders of Pre-funded Warrants purchased in this offering will have no rights as common shareholders until such holders exercise their Pre-funded Warrants and acquire our common shares, except as otherwise provided in the Pre-funded Warrants.***

Until holders of Pre-funded Warrants acquire shares of our common shares upon exercise of such warrants, holders of Pre-funded Warrants will have no rights with respect to our common shares underlying such Pre-funded Warrants. Upon exercise of the Pre-funded Warrants, the holders will be entitled to exercise the rights of a common shareholder only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise date.

***Our management will have broad discretion over the use of the proceeds we receive from the sale our securities pursuant to this prospectus supplement and might not apply the proceeds in ways that increase the value of your investment.***

Our management will have broad discretion to use the net proceeds from the offering, and you will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding the application of these proceeds. Except as described in any prospectus supplement or in any related free writing prospectus that we may authorize to be provided to you, the net proceeds received by us from our sale of the securities described in this prospectus supplement will be added to our general funds and will be used for general corporate purposes. Our management might not apply the net proceeds from offerings of our securities in ways that increase the value of your investment and might not be able to yield a significant return, if any, on any investment of such net proceeds. You may not have the opportunity to influence our decisions on how to use such proceeds.

**PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF WARRANTS**

In a concurrent private placement, we are selling to the purchasers in this offering Common Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,741,901 common shares. The Common Warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of US$4.21 per share, subject to certain adjustments, are exercisable six months following the date of issuance and have a term of exercise equal to three years from the date of issuance. A holder of Common Warrants will have the right to exercise the Common Warrants on a "cashless" basis if there is no effective registration statement registering the resale of the common shares underlying the Common Warrants. Subject to limited exceptions, a holder of Common Warrants will not have the right to exercise any portion of its Common Warrants if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or 9.99% at the election of the holder prior to the date of issuance) of the number of our common shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise, provided that the holder may increase or decrease such percentage, but in no event may such percentage be increased to more than 9.99%, provided that any increase will not be effective until the 61<sup>st</sup> day after such election.

Except as otherwise provided in the Common Warrants or by virtue of such holder's ownership of our common shares, the holders of the Common Warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of our common shares, including any voting rights, until they exercise their Common Warrants.

The Common Warrants and the common shares underlying the Common Warrants are being offered pursuant to the exemptions provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and are not being offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.

In the event of any fundamental transaction, as described in the Common Warrants and generally including any merger with or into another entity, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, tender offer or exchange offer, or reclassification of our common shares, then upon any subsequent exercise of a Common Warrant, the holder will have the right to receive as alternative consideration, for each common share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such fundamental transaction, the number of common shares of the successor or acquiring corporation of our company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration receivable upon or as a result of such transaction by a holder of the number of common shares for which the Common Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event.

There is no established public trading market for the Common Warrants and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, we do not intend to list the Common Warrants on the Nasdaq Capital Market, any other national securities exchange or any other nationally recognized trading system.

**USE OF PROCEEDS**

We estimate that the net proceeds we will receive from the sale of our common shares and the Pre-funded Warrants in this offering will be approximately US$6.82 million, after deducting estimated offering expenses of approximately US$225,000 and Placement Agent fees. These estimates exclude the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the Pre-funded Warrants sold in this offering or the Common Warrants sold in the private placement concurrently with this offering.

If all of the Pre-funded Warrants sold in this offering, and the Common Warrants sold in the private placement concurrently with this offering are exercised in full for cash, we would receive additional aggregate gross proceeds of approximately US$7.34 million.

We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes and working capital, including for inventory management and general and administrative expenses.

We have not specifically identified the precise amounts we will spend on each of these areas or the timing of these expenditures. The amounts actually expended for each purpose may vary significantly depending upon numerous factors, including assessments of potential market opportunities and competitive developments. In addition, expenditures may also depend on the establishment of new collaborative arrangements with other companies, the availability of other financing, and other factors. Our management will have discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering. Our shareholders may not agree with the manner in which our management chooses to allocate and spend the net proceeds. Moreover, our management may use the net proceeds for purposes that may not result in our being profitable or increase our market value.

**DILUTION**

If you purchase any of the common shares offered by this prospectus supplement, you will experience dilution to the extent of the difference between the offering price per common share you pay in this offering and the net tangible book value per common share immediately after this offering. Our audited net tangible book value as of August 31, 2022 was approximately $29.1 million, or approximately $3.46 per common share. Net tangible book value per share is equal to our total tangible assets minus total liabilities, divided by the number of common shares outstanding.

After giving effect to the sale by us in this offering of 1,544,253 common shares at a public offering price of US$4.21 per common share and 197,648 Pre-funded Warrants at a public offering price of US$4.209 per Pre-funded Warrant (assuming full exercise of the Pre-funded Warrants at an exercise price of US$0.001, and after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of August 31, 2022 would have been approximately $38 million, or approximately $3.76 per common share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of approximately $0.30 per share to existing shareholders and an immediate dilution of approximately $0.45 per share to new purchasers. The following table illustrates this calculation on a per share basis:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| Public offering price per common share |  | 4.21 |
| Net tangible book value per share as of August 31, 2022 | $3.46 |  |
| Increase in adjusted net tangible book value per share attributed to the purchasers purchasing shares issued in this offering | 0.30 |  |
| Net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this offering |  | 3.76 |
| Dilution to net tangible book value per share to new purchasers purchasing shares in this offering |  | $0.45 |

---

To the extent that our outstanding options, warrants or subscription investment units are exercised, purchasers in this offering may suffer additional dilution. The foregoing is based on a U.S. dollar to Canadian dollar exchange rate of 1.3421 as reported by the Bank of Canada on January 20, 2023.

The 10,192,055 common shares to be outstanding after this offering is based on 8,417,923 shares outstanding as of August 31, 2022, plus (i) 32,231 common shares issued subsequent to August 31, 2022, (ii) the 1,544,253 common shares offered hereby and (iii) the 197,648 Pre-funded Warrants offered hereby (assuming exercise of all of the Pre-funded Warrants). The 10,192,055 common shares to be outstanding after this offering excludes the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• up to 1,741,901
 common shares issuable upon exercise of the Common Warrants issued in the concurrent private
 placement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• options to purchase 1,741,861 common
 shares issued and outstanding, at a weighted average exercise price of $9.45 per common share;
 and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• warrants to purchase
 201,800 common shares issued and outstanding, at a weighted average exercise price of $16.53
 per common share.

**Pre-funded Warrants**

The material terms and provisions of the Pre-funded Warrants being offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus are summarized below. The summary is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the form of Pre-funded Warrant which will be provided to each investor in this offering and will be filed as an exhibit to a Report on Form 6-K with the SEC in connection with this offering.

*Duration and Exercise Price.* Each Pre-funded Warrant offered hereby has an initial exercise price per share equal to US$0.001. The Pre-funded Warrants are immediately exercisable and will expire when exercised in full. The exercise price and number of common shares issuable upon exercise is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reorganizations or similar events affecting our common shares and the exercise price.

*Exercisability.* The Pre-funded Warrants are exercisable immediately upon issuance and have no termination date. The Pre-funded Warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice and payment in full in immediately available funds for the number of common shares purchased upon such exercise.

*Exercise Limitation.* A holder will not have the right to exercise any portion of the Pre-funded Warrants if the holder (together with its affiliates and any other persons acting as a group together with the holder or any of the holder's affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (or, upon election of the holder, 9.99%) of the number of our common shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Pre-funded Warrants. Any holder may increase or decrease such percentage, but in no event may such percentage be increased to more than 9.99%, provided that any increase will not be effective until the 61<sup>st</sup> day after such election.

*Cashless Exercise.* 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 of common shares determined according to a formula set forth in the Pre-funded Warrants.

*Fundamental Transactions.* In the event of any fundamental transaction, as described in the Pre-funded Warrants and generally including any merger with or into another entity, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, tender offer or exchange offer, or reclassification of our common shares, then upon any subsequent exercise of a Pre-funded Warrant, the holder will have the right to receive as alternative consideration, for each common share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such fundamental transaction, the number of common shares of the successor or acquiring corporation of our company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration receivable upon or as a result of such transaction by a holder of the number of common shares for which the Pre-funded Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such event.

*Transferability.* Subject to applicable laws, a Pre-funded Warrant may be transferred at the option of the holder upon surrender of the Pre-funded Warrant to us together with the appropriate instruments of transfer and payment of funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes (if applicable).

*Exchange Listing.* There is no established trading market for the Pre-funded Warrants. We do not intend to list the Pre-funded Warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system.

*Right as a Shareholder.* Except as otherwise provided in the Pre-funded Warrants or by virtue of such holder's ownership of our common shares, the holders of the Pre-funded Warrants do not have the rights or privileges of holders of our common shares, including any voting rights, until such Pre-funded Warrant holders exercise their Pre-funded Warrants.

**PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION**

Roth Capital Partners, LLC, the Placement Agent, has agreed to act as our sole placement agent in connection with this offering subject to the terms and conditions of a placement agency agreement, dated January 20, 2023 by and between the Placement Agent and us. The Placement Agent is not purchasing or selling any securities offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus but has arranged for the sale of certain of the securities offered hereby through a securities purchase agreement dated January 20, 2023, entered into between the purchasers and us (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"). The public offering price of the common shares and/or the Pre-funded Warrants offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus has been determined based upon arm's-length negotiations among the purchasers, the Placement Agent and us.

A form of the Securities Purchase Agreement will be included as an exhibit to our Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K to be filed with the SEC in connection with this offering. The Securities Purchase Agreement provides such purchasers with certain representations, warranties and covenants, including indemnifications, from us. Our obligation to issue and sell the securities to the purchasers who are a party to the Securities Purchase Agreement is subject to the closing conditions set forth therein, including the absence of any material adverse change in our business and the receipt of certain opinions, letters and certificates from us or our counsel, which may be waived by the respective parties. All of the securities will be sold at the offering price specified in this prospectus supplement and, we expect, at a single closing.

**Commissions and Expenses**

We have agreed to pay the Placement Agent an aggregate cash fee equal to 6% of the gross proceeds in this offering, except that the Placement Agent will receive a cash fee equal to 3% with respect to the gross proceeds from one of the purchasers.

We currently anticipate that the delivery of the common shares will occur on or about January 24, 2023. At the closing, settlement of the common shares shall occur via "Delivery Versus Payment" (i.e., on the closing, we shall issue the common shares registered in the purchasers' names and addresses and released by the transfer agent directly to the account(s) at the Placement Agent identified by each purchaser; upon receipt of such common shares, the Placement Agent shall promptly electronically deliver such common shares to the applicable purchaser, and payment therefor shall be made by the Placement Agent (or its clearing firm) by wire transfer to us).

The Placement Agent may, in its sole discretion and without notice, waive the terms of the lock-up agreement.

**Determination of Offering Price**

The public offering price of the securities we are offering was negotiated between us and the purchasers and Placement Agent, based on the trading of our common shares prior to the offering, among other things. Other factors considered in determining the public offering price of our securities we are offering include our history and prospects, the stage of development of our business, our business plans for the future and the extent to which they have been implemented, an assessment of our management, general conditions of the securities markets at the time of the offering and such other factors as were deemed relevant.

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 any shares of common shares sold by it while acting as a 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 Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act and Rule 10b-5 and Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act. These rules and regulations may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares offered hereby by the Placement Agent acting as a principal. Under these rules and regulations, the Placement Agent:

A passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid of that security. If all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker's bid, however, that bid must then be lowered when specified purchase limits are exceeded.

**Indemnification**

We have agreed to indemnify the Placement Agent against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and liabilities arising from breaches of representations and warranties contained in the placement agency agreement, or to contribute to payments that the Placement Agent may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.

**INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES**

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act 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 person controlling 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 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

**Common Shares**

**Preferred Shares**

**Warrants**

**Units**

------

Vision Marine Technologies Inc. ("we", "us", "our", "Vision Marine" or the "Company") may offer and issue from time to time common shares ("Common Shares"), preferred shares ("Preferred Shares"), warrants ("Warrants") and units ("Units") of the Company or any combination thereof (collectively, the "Securities"). The aggregate offering price of the Securities that we may offer and sell under this Prospectus shall not exceed US$50,000,000 (or the equivalent thereof if the Securities are denominated in any other currency or currency unit) during the period that this registration statement (the "Prospectus"), including any amendments hereto, remains effective. Securities may be offered separately or together, in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined based on market conditions at the time of sale and set forth in one or more prospectus supplements (each, a "Prospectus Supplement" and together, the "Prospectus Supplements").

The specific terms of the Securities with respect to a particular offering will be set out in the applicable Prospectus Supplement and may include, where applicable (i) in the case of Common Shares, the number of Common Shares offered, the offering price, and any other terms specific to the Common Shares being offered, (ii) in the case of Preferred Shares, the offering price, the designation, and other terms specific to the Preferred Shares being offered (iii) in the case of Warrants, the offering price, the designation, the number and the terms of the Common Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants, any procedures that will result in the adjustment of these numbers, the exercise price, the dates and periods of exercise and any other terms specific to the Warrants being offered, and (iv) in the case of Units, the number of Units offered, the offering price of the Units, the number, designation and terms of the Securities comprising the Units and any procedures that will result in the adjustment of those numbers and any other specific terms applicable to the offering of Units. Where required by statute, regulation or policy, and where Securities are offered in currencies other than United States dollars, appropriate disclosure of foreign exchange rates applicable to the Securities will be included in the Prospectus Supplement describing the Securities.

i

All shelf information permitted under applicable law to be omitted from this Prospectus will be contained in one or more Prospectus Supplements that will be delivered to purchasers together with this Prospectus. Each Prospectus Supplement will be incorporated by reference into this Prospectus for the purposes of securities legislation as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement and only for the purposes of the distribution of the Securities to which the Prospectus Supplement pertains.

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.

Our Common Shares are listed and posted for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq") under the symbol "VMAR". On December 12, 2022 (the last trading day prior to the date of this Prospectus), the closing price of the Common Shares on the Nasdaq was US$5.18. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, any offering of the Preferred Shares, Warrants or Units will be a new issue of Securities with no established trading market and, accordingly, such Securities will not be listed on any securities or stock exchange or on any automated dealer quotation system.

As of December 12, 2022, the aggregate market value of our outstanding common shares held by non-affiliates, or public float, was approximately US$25,572,511.80, based on 8,442,814 outstanding common shares, of which approximately 3,750,610 shares were held by affiliates, and a price of US$5.45 per share, which was the highest reported closing sale price of our common shares on the Nasdaq in the 60 days prior to such date. We have not offered any securities pursuant to General Instruction I.B.5. of Form F-3 during the prior 12 calendar month period that ends on and includes the date of this prospectus. Pursuant to General Instruction I.B.5. of Form F-3, in no event will we sell securities registered on this registration statement in a public primary offering with a value exceeding more than one-third of our public float in any 12-month period so long as our public float remains below US$75 million.

We are an "emerging growth company" as defined by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 and, as such, we have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements for this Prospectus and future filings.

**ABOUT THE COMPANY**

**Our Business**

We are in the business of designing and manufacturing electric outboard powertrain systems and our related technology and the renting of electric boats. We believe that our electric outboard powertrain systems are significantly more efficient and powerful than those currently being offered in the market today. In particular, we have recorded powertrain efficiencies of more than 94%, well above the 54% efficiency that we recorded for our principal competitor's product. Increases in powertrain efficiency allows for more power and range, both of which are highly desirable characteristics for consumers in the marketplace. Although our primary focus is on electric outboard powertrain technology, we will continue to design, manufacture and sell our high-performance, fully-electric boats to commercial and retail customers. According to Allied Market Research, the global electric boat market will reach US$16.60 billion in 2031 up significantly from US$5 billion in 2021, growing at a compound annual growth rate of 12.9% from 2022 to 2031.

We have developed our first fully-electric outboard powertrain system that combines an advanced battery pack, inverter, high-efficiency motor with proprietary union assembly between the transmission and the electric motor design and extensive control software. Our technologies used in this powertrain system are designed to improve the efficiency of the outboard powertrain and, as a result, increase range and performance. We believe our approach in marketing and selling our powertrain technology to boat designers and manufacturers will enable us to leverage their distribution and servicing systems with minimal capital outlay. We expect our core intellectual property contained within our outboard electric powertrain systems to form the foundation for our future growth and for such systems to represent the majority of our revenue.

We continue to manufacture hand-crafted, highly durable, low maintenance, environmentally-friendly electric recreational powerboats. In our last two fiscal years 2022 and 2021, we manufactured 58 and 49 powerboats, respectively, and we expect to manufacture approximately 60 powerboats in calendar 2023. We sell powerboats to retail customers and operators of rental fleets of powerboats through which we seek to build brand awareness. We intend to continue to build brand awareness by partnering with marina operators to offer rental fleets of electric boats. We conduct our transactions directly to customers through our website or through a network of marinas, distributors and show rooms.

In an effort to improve air quality and protect local water habitats, cities and local municipalities are beginning to ban or restrict the use of gasoline- and diesel-powered boats from local waterways, lakes and rivers. For example, Teal Lake in Michigan, USA, bans the standard use of powerboat motors fueled by gasoline or diesel. This trend is beginning to take hold in other parts of the United States, including Washington state, which has provided clear examples of the harm that gasoline products cause on local waterways, and New Hampshire, where the Department of Safety has published restrictions on the use of gasoline and diesel-powered boats across its state.

In our fiscal year 2021, we expanded our business to include rentals of electric powerboats by acquiring EB Rentals Ltd. ("EBR"), an entity that rents electric boats at the Lido Marina Village in Newport, California. In addition to generating revenues from the rental of our powerboats, EBR builds brand awareness and acts an open-water showroom for potential buyers.

**Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company**

As a company with less than US$1.235 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an "emerging growth company," as defined in the U.S. Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"). An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other burdens that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include an exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act") and to the extent that we no longer qualify as a foreign private issuer, (i) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements and (ii) exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation, including golden parachute compensation.

We may take advantage of these provisions for up to five years from the initial public offering of our Common Shares or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We will cease to be an emerging growth company upon the earliest of the following:

■ the
 last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual revenues were at least US$1.235 billion;

■ August 31, 2026 (the last day of the
 fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the initial public offering of our Common Shares);

■ the date on which we have issued more than
 US$1 billion of non-convertible debt securities over a three-year period; and

■ the last day of the fiscal year during which
 we meet the following conditions: (i) the worldwide market value of our common equity securities held by non-affiliates as
 of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter is at least US$700 million, (ii) we have been subject to U.S. public company
 reporting requirements for at least 12 months and (iii) we have filed at least one annual report as a U.S. public company.

**Implications of Being a Foreign Private Issuer**

We are also considered a "foreign private issuer" under U.S. securities laws. In our capacity as a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from certain rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), that impose certain disclosure obligations and procedural requirements for proxy solicitations under Section 14 of the Exchange Act. In addition, our officers, directors and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and "short-swing" profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules under the Exchange Act with respect to their purchases and sales of our securities. Moreover, we are not required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act. In addition, we are not required to comply with Regulation FD, which restricts the selective disclosure of material information.

Both foreign private issuers and emerging growth companies are also exempt from certain more stringent executive compensation disclosure rules for public companies in the United States under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. Even if we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, so long as we remain a foreign private issuer, we will continue to be exempt from such compensation disclosures.

We may take advantage of these exemptions until such time as we are no longer a foreign private issuer. We will remain a foreign private issuer until such time that more than 50% of our outstanding voting securities are held by U.S. residents and any of the following three circumstances applies: (1) the majority of our executive officers or directors are U.S. citizens or residents; (2) more than 50% of our assets are located in the United States; or (3) our business is administered principally in the United States.

**Corporate Information**

We were incorporated pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (Quebec) on August 29, 2012, under the name Riopel Marine Inc. On April 23, 2020, we changed our name to Vision Marine Technologies Inc. Our principal business is to manufacture and sell or rent electric boats. We have two wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Our principal executive offices are located at 730 Boulevard du Curé-Boivin Boisbriand, Québec J7G 2A7, Canada, Telephone: 450-951-7009.

**CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS**

This Prospectus and certain information incorporated herein by reference contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. The statements contained in this Prospectus that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements are often identified by the use of words such as, but not limited to, "anticipate," "believe," "can," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "plan," "project," "seek," "should," "strategy," "target," "will," "would" and similar expressions or variations intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of our management based on information currently available to management. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results and the timing of certain events to differ materially from future results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, (i) those included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, (ii) those contained in our other SEC reports described under "Risk Factors," (iii) those described elsewhere in this Prospectus, and (iv) other factors that we may publicly disclose from time to time. Furthermore, such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

**RISK FACTORS**

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully review the risks and uncertainties described under the heading "Risk Factors" contained in the applicable Prospectus Supplement and any related free writing prospectus, and in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F and reports on Form 6-K as updated by our subsequent filings, which are incorporated by reference into this Prospectus, before deciding whether to purchase any of the securities being registered pursuant to the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part. Each of the risk factors could adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, as well as adversely affect the value of an investment in our securities, and the occurrence of any of these risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also significantly impair our business operations.

***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.***

We have not applied and do not intend to apply to list the Preferred Shares on any securities exchange. If the Preferred Shares 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 Preferred Shares or that a trading market for these securities will develop.

We have not applied and do not intend to apply to list the Warrants on any securities exchange. If the Warrants 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.

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. There can be no assurance as to the liquidity of the trading market for the Units or that a trading market for such Units will develop.

**USE OF PROCEEDS**

The net proceeds to be derived from the sale of Securities will be the issue price thereof less any commission paid in connection therewith and the expenses relating to the particular offering of Securities. The net proceeds to us from any offering of Securities, the proposed use of those proceeds and the specific business objectives that we wish to accomplish with such proceeds will be set out in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. There may be circumstances where, on the basis of results obtained or for other sound business reasons, a re-allocation of funds may be necessary or prudent. Accordingly, management of the Company will have broad discretion in the application of the proceeds of an offering of Securities. The actual amount that the Company spends in connection with each intended use of proceeds may vary from the amounts specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement and will depend on a number of factors, including those referred to under "Risk Factors" and any other factors set out in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. We may invest funds which we do not immediately use. Such investments may include short-term marketable investment grade securities.

We may, from time to time, issue securities (including debt securities) other than pursuant to this Prospectus. The Company had negative cash flow from operating activities of approximately $11 million and $8.25 million for the years ended August 31, 2022 and August 31, 2021, respectively. The Company cannot guarantee that positive cash flow from operating activities will be obtained. The Company may continue to have negative cash flow from operating activities until sufficient levels of sales are achieved.

**MATERIAL CHANGES**

Except as otherwise disclosed in this Prospectus there have been no material changes to our operations that have occurred since August 31, 2022, and that have not been described in a report on Form 6-K furnished under the Exchange Act and incorporated by reference into this Prospectus.

**DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL**

The authorized share capital of the Corporation is comprised of one class of shares, being an unlimited number of Common Shares without par value, issuable in four series, of which an unlimited number are designated as Voting Common Shares – Series Founder, an unlimited number are designated as Voting Common Shares – Series Investor 1, an unlimited number are designated as Voting Common Shares – Series Investor 2 and an unlimited number are designated as Non-Voting Common Shares.

As of December 12, 2022, there were a total of (i) 8,442,814 Common Shares issued and outstanding, (ii) options to purchase 1,741,861 Common Shares issued and outstanding, and (iii) warrants to purchase 151,800 Common Shares issued and outstanding.

See "Description of Common Shares," "Description of Preferred Shares," "Description of Warrants," and "Description of Units" for a description of the general terms that will apply to any Securities issued pursuant to this Prospectus. The Securities to be issued in connection with any Offering hereunder will be authorized by our board of directors at such time as the board of directors determines to conduct an Offering hereunder.

**Articles of Association**

We were incorporated, in Canada, under Part IA of the *Companies Act* (Quebec) (the "Companies Act" or the "QBCA"). The Company's Articles of Incorporation as amended, which we refer to as our articles of incorporation, are on file with the Quebec Enterprise Registrar under the Quebec Enterprise Number 1168491927. Our articles of incorporation do not include a stated purpose and do not place any restrictions on the business that the Company carries on.

**Remuneration of Directors**

Our directors are entitled to the remuneration for acting as directors as the directors may from time to time determine. Unless otherwise provided for in a unanimous shareholder's agreement, the board of directors fixes, from time to time, by resolution, the remuneration of the directors. In addition, the board of directors, may, by resolution, grant special compensation to a director who performs a specific or additional mandate on behalf of the Corporation. Directors also have the right to be reimbursed for travel expenses and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in the exercise of their duties.

**Number of Directors**

Our Articles of Incorporation provide for a minimum of one and a maximum of ten directors. The board of directors is composed of the fixed number of directors, between these minimum and maximum numbers, determined by resolution of the board of directors, or failing that by shareholder resolution. An amendment to the Articles of Incorporation which reduces the number of directors does not end the mandate of the directors in office.

**Directors**

Our directors are elected each year at the annual shareholder's meeting. The election of a director is made by plurality of votes; the candidates who collect the greatest number of votes are elected in descending order, up to the number of positions to be filled. Our Articles of Incorporation provide that the board of directors may, between annual meetings, appoint one or more additional directors to serve until the next annual meeting, but the number of additional directors must not at any time exceed the fixed or maximum number of directors provided for by the Articles of Incorporation.

**Rights, Preferences and Restrictions Attaching to Our Shares**

*<u>Voting Rights</u>*

Our Voting Common Shares, subject to the Business Corporations Act, are entitled to vote at every shareholders' meeting and receive a notice of meeting; each shareholder has one vote per share during the meeting.

Our Non-Voting Common Shares, subject to the Business Corporations Act, do not carry the right to vote at shareholder meetings or to receive notice of such meetings.

*<u>Dividends</u>*

Our Voting Common Shares and our Non-Voting Common Shares, subject to the Business Corporations Act, carry the right to receive a dividend.

*<u>Liquidation and Dissolution</u>*

In the event of the Company's voluntary or involuntary liquidation or dissolution, or any other distribution of the Company's assets among its shareholders for the purposes of winding up its affairs, the holders of Voting Common Shares and Non-Voting Common Shares shall be entitled to receive, share for share, the remainder of the assets of the Company, with neither preference nor distinction.

The foregoing description of the terms of the Common Shares does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the articles of incorporation, as amended of the Company, which is attached hereto as an Exhibit.

**Shareholder Meetings**

The Business Corporations Act provides that: (i) the corporation must hold an annual meeting of shareholders; if necessary, it can hold one or more special shareholder's meetings; (ii) shareholders meeting may be held in Quebec, in any place chosen by the board of directors, or may be held at a location outside Quebec if the articles allow it, or if all the shareholders entitled to vote agree; (iii) an annual meeting must be held within 18 months of the incorporation of the Corporation and, thereafter, within 15 months of the previous annual meeting; (iv) the board of directors may at any time call a special meeting; (v) shareholders holding at least 10% of the shares giving the right to vote at the special meeting requested to be convened may, by means of a notice, request the board of directors to convene a special meeting for the purposes set out in their request.

**Limitations on Rights of Non-Canadians**

Vision Marine Technologies Inc. is incorporated pursuant to the laws of the Province of Quebec, Canada. There is no law or governmental decree or regulation in Canada that restricts the export or import of capital, or affects the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to a non-resident holder of Common Shares, other than withholding tax requirements. Any such remittances to United States residents are generally subject to withholding tax, however no such remittances are likely in the foreseeable future. See "Certain Income Tax Considerations," below.

There is no limitation imposed by Canadian law or by the charter or other constituent documents of our company on the right of a non-resident to hold or vote Common Shares of our company. However, the *Investment Canada Act* (Canada) (the "Investment Act") has rules regarding certain acquisitions of shares by non-residents, along with other requirements under that legislation.

The following discussion summarizes the principal features of the Investment Act for a non-resident who proposes to acquire Common Shares of our company. The discussion is general only; it is not a substitute for independent legal advice from an investor's own advisor; and it does not anticipate statutory or regulatory amendments.

The Investment Act is a federal statute of broad application regulating the establishment and acquisition of Canadian businesses by non-Canadians, including individuals, governments or agencies thereof, corporations, partnerships, trusts or joint ventures (each an "entity"). Investments by non-Canadians to acquire control over existing Canadian businesses or to establish new ones are either reviewable or notifiable under the Investment Act. If an investment by a non-Canadian to acquire control over an existing Canadian business is reviewable under the Investment Act, the Investment Act generally prohibits implementation of the investment unless, after review, the Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development, is satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada.

A non-Canadian would acquire control of our company for the purposes of the Investment Act through the acquisition of Common Shares if the non-Canadian acquired a majority of the Common Shares of our company.

Further, the acquisition of less than a majority but one-third or more of the Common Shares of our company would be presumed to be an acquisition of control of our company unless it could be established that, on the acquisition, our company was not controlled in fact by the acquirer through the ownership of Common Shares.

For a direct acquisition that would result in an acquisition of control of our company, subject to the exception for "WTO-investors" that are controlled by persons who are resident in World Trade Organization ("WTO") member nations, a proposed investment would be reviewable where the value of the acquired assets is $5 million or more, or if an order for review was made by the federal cabinet on the grounds that the investment related to Canada's cultural heritage or national identity, where the value of the acquired assets is less than $5 million.

For a proposed indirect acquisition that by an investor other than a so-called WTO investor that would result in an acquisition of control of our company through the acquisition of a non-Canadian parent entity, the investment would be reviewable where the value of the assets of the entity carrying on the Canadian business, and of all other entities in Canada, the control of which is acquired, directly or indirectly is $50 million or more. The threshold is reduced to $5 million or more for a direct acquisition of control of the company by a non-WTO investor.

In the case of a direct acquisition by or from a "WTO investor", the threshold is significantly higher. An investment in Common Shares of our company by a WTO investor would be reviewable only if it was an investment to acquire control of the company and the enterprise value of the assets of the company was equal to or greater than a specified amount, which is published by the Minister after its determination for any particular year. This amount is currently $1.075 billion (unless the WTO member is party to one of a list of certain free trade agreements, in which case the amount is currently $1.613 billion); beginning January 1, 2019, both thresholds will be adjusted annually by a GDP (Gross Domestic Product) based index.

The higher WTO threshold for direct investments and the exemption for indirect investments do not apply where the relevant Canadian business is carrying on a "cultural business". The acquisition of a Canadian business that is a "cultural business" is subject to lower review thresholds under the Investment Act because of the perceived sensitivity of the cultural sector.

In 2009, amendments were enacted to the Investment Act concerning investments that may be considered injurious to national security. If the Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development has reasonable grounds to believe that an investment by a non-Canadian "could be injurious to national security," the Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development may send the non-Canadian a notice indicating that an order for review of the investment may be made. The review of an investment on the grounds of national security may occur whether or not an investment is otherwise subject to review on the basis of net benefit to Canada or otherwise subject to notification under the Investment Act. To date, there is neither legislation nor guidelines published, or anticipated to be published, on the meaning of "injurious to national security." Discussions with government officials suggest that very few investment proposals will cause a review under these new sections. In 2016, the government of Canada released a set of guidelines for the national security review process. The guidelines state that, in assessing a proposed investment under the national security provisions of the Investment Act, the nature of the asset or business activities and the parties, including the potential for third party influence, involved in the transaction will be considered. The guidelines also provide a list of factors that may be taken into account to determine whether a review of an investment on national security grounds will be conducted.

Certain transactions, except those to which the national security provisions of the Investment Act may apply, relating to Common Shares of our company are exempt from the Investment Act, including

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;a) the
 acquisition of our Common Shares by a person in the ordinary course of that person's
 business as a trader or dealer in securities,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;b) the
 acquisition of control of our company in connection with the realization of security granted
 for a loan or other financial assistance and not for a purpose related to the provisions
 on the Investment Act, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;c) the
 acquisition of control of our company by reason of an amalgamation, merger, consolidation
 or corporate reorganization following which the ultimate direct or indirect control in fact
 of our company, through the ownership of Common Shares, remained unchanged.

**DIVIDEND POLICY**

To date, we have not paid any dividends on our outstanding Common Shares. The future payment of dividends will depend upon our financial requirements to fund further growth, our financial condition and other factors which our board of directors may consider in the circumstances. We do not contemplate paying any dividends in the immediate or foreseeable futures.

**DILUTION**

Purchasers of Securities in an offering may suffer immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per Common Share. Dilution in net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the amount per Common Share paid by purchasers in an offering and the net tangible book value per Common Share immediately after an offering. See "Risk Factors".

**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 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, 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 THE PREFERRED SHARES**

**Preferred Shares**

The Preferred Shares may be issued at any time, or from time to time, in one or more series. Before any Preferred Shares of a particular series are issued, our board of directors shall, by resolution, fix the number of Preferred Shares that will form such series and shall, by resolution, fix the designation, rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions to be attached to the Preferred Shares of such series.

The Preferred Shares of each series shall rank on a parity with the Preferred Shares of every other series with respect to priority in payment of dividends and in the distribution of assets in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company or other distribution of assets of the Company among its security holders, for the purpose of winding-up of its affairs.

The Preferred Shares shall be entitled to preference over the Common Shares and any other shares of the Company ranking junior to the Preferred Shares with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, or any other distribution of the assets of the Company among its shareholders for the purpose of winding-up its affairs. The Preferred Shares may also be given such other preferences over the Common Shares and any other shares of the Company ranking junior to the Preferred Shares as may be fixed by our board of directors as to the respective series authorized to be issued.

As of the date hereof, the Company has no Preferred Shares issued and outstanding.

**DESCRIPTION OF THE WARRANTS**

Warrants will typically be offered with Common Shares, with such securities often referred to collectively as a "Unit", but may be offered separately. The Warrants either will be issued under a warrant indenture or agreement that will be entered into by the Company and a warrant agent at the time of issuance of the Warrants or will be represented by warrant certificates issued by the Company.

Warrants will entitle the holder thereof to receive Common Shares and/or other Securities upon the exercise thereof and payment of the applicable exercise price. A Warrant will be exercisable for a specific period of time at the end of which time it will expire and cease to be exercisable.

Holders of Warrants are not shareholders of the Company. The particular terms and provisions of Warrants offered by this Prospectus and any applicable Prospectus Supplement will be described in the Prospectus Supplement filed in respect of such Warrants. This description may include, without limitation and as applicable: (i) the title or designation of the Warrants; (ii) the number of Warrants offered; (iii) the number of Common Shares and/or other Securities purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants and the procedures for exercise; (iv) the exercise price of the Warrants; (v) the dates or periods during which the Warrants are exercisable and when they expire; (vi) the designation and terms of any other Securities with which the Warrants will be offered, if any, and the number of Warrants that will be offered with each such Security; and (vii) any other material terms and conditions of the Warrants including, without limitation, transferability and adjustment terms and whether the Warrants will be listed on a securities exchange.

**DESCRIPTION OF THE UNITS**

Units are securities consisting of one or more of the other Securities described in this Prospectus offered together as a "Unit". A Unit is typically issued such that the holder thereof is also the holder of each Security included in the Unit. Thus, the holder of a Unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each Security comprising the Unit. The unit agreement under which a Unit is issued may provide that the Securities comprising the Unit may not be held or transferred separately at any time or before a specified date.

The particular terms and provisions of Units offered by this Prospectus and any applicable Prospectus Supplement will be described in the Prospectus Supplement filed in respect of such Units. This description may include, without limitation and as applicable: (i) the designation and terms of the Units and of the Securities comprising the Units, including whether and under what circumstances those Securities may be held or transferred separately; (ii) any provisions for the issuance, payment, settlement, transfer or exchange of the Units or of the Securities comprising the Units; (iii) whether the Units will be issued in fully registered or global form; and (iv) any other material terms and conditions of the Units.

**LEGAL MATTERS**

Unless otherwise specified in the Prospectus Supplement relating to an offering of Securities, certain Canadian and United States legal matters relating to the offering of such Securities will be passed upon for us by Dentons Canada LLP as to matters relating to Canadian law and by Dentons US LLP as to matters relating to United States federal securities law. In addition, certain legal matters in connection with any offering of Securities may be passed upon for any underwriters, dealers or agents by counsel to be designated at the time of the offering by such underwriters, dealers or agents with respect to matters of Canadian and United States law.

**INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT**

**LIABILITIES**

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling 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, as amended, 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 person controlling 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, as amended, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

**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.

**CERTAIN INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS**

Material income tax consequences relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of any of the Securities offered by this Prospectus will be set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement relating to the offering of those Securities. You are urged to consult your own tax advisors prior to any acquisition of our Securities.

**ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES**

We are a corporation organized under the laws of Canada, and all of our directors and officers, as well as the Canadian independent registered chartered accountants named in the "Experts" section of this prospectus, reside outside of the United States. Service of process upon such persons may be difficult or impossible to effect within the United States. Furthermore, because a substantial portion of our assets, and substantially all the assets of our directors and officers and the Canadian experts named herein, are located outside of the United States, any judgment obtained in the United States, including a judgment based upon the civil liability provisions of United States federal securities laws, against us or any of such persons may not be collectible within the United States.

In addition, there is doubt as to the applicability of the civil liability provisions of United States federal securities law to original actions instituted in Canada. It may be difficult for an investor, or any other person or entity, to assert United States securities laws claims in original actions instituted in Canada. However, subject to certain time limitations, a foreign civil judgment, including a United States court judgment based upon the civil liability provisions of United States federal securities laws, may be enforced by a Canadian court, provided that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the
 judgment is enforceable in the jurisdiction in which it was given;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the
 judgment was obtained after due process before a court of competent jurisdiction that recognizes
 and enforces similar judgments of Canadian courts, and the court had authority according
 to the rules of private international law currently prevailing in Canada;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· adequate
 service of process was effected and the defendant had a reasonable opportunity to be heard;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the
 judgment is not contrary to the law, public policy, security or sovereignty of Canada and
 its enforcement is not contrary to the laws governing enforcement of judgments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the
 judgment was not obtained by fraud and does not conflict with any other valid judgment in
 the same matter between the same parties;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· the
 judgment is no longer appealable; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· an
 action between the same parties in the same matter is not pending in any Canadian court at
 the time the lawsuit is instituted in the foreign court.

Foreign judgments enforced by Canadian courts generally will be payable in Canadian dollars. A Canadian court hearing an action to recover an amount in a non-Canadian currency will render judgment for the equivalent amount in Canadian currency.

The name and address of our agent for service of process in the United States is Corporation Service Company, 251 Little Falls Road, Wilmington, DE 19808.
