5.1. Full Description of Material Change
Teras Resources Inc. (“ Teras ” or the “ Company ”) (TRA.V) announces that it has increased the size of its previously announced non-brokered private placement of units (each a “ Unit ”). In addition, Teras announces that it has completed the closing of the private placement of Units, subject to final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. Teras issued 10,232,380 Units at a price of $0.05 per Unit for gross proceeds of $511,619. Each Unit consists of one common share (a “ Common Share ”) and one Common Share purchase warrant (a “ Warrant ”). Each Warrant is exercisable into one Common Share at a price of $0.075 per share for a period of two years from the issuance of such Warrant. In addition, Teras issued 399,000 Broker warrants at a price of $0.075 for a period of one year and paid a finder’s fee of $19,950 CDN.
The majority of proceeds from the private placement will be reserved for positioning the Company for the next steps moving forward. The Company will provide an update to its shareholders in the near future as disclosed in the January 23rd, 2020 news release. One of the Company’s senior Officers subscribed to 2,000,000 units of the Placement. All securities issued in connection with the private placement are subject to a hold period that expires on July 05, 2020.
Subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, the Company has extended the dates of Warrants set to expire on April 17th, 2020 until April 17th, 2021 as well as Warrants set to expire August 01, 2020 until August 01, 2022.
Exemption From MI 61-101 And TSXV Policy 5.9

relied on section 5.5(b) of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“ MI 61-101 ”) as the exemption from the formal valuation requirements of MI 61-101 and TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 in respect of the issuance of the Units to the officer and a director of Teras as the Units of Teras are not listed on a specified market. The Company relied on section 5.7(a) of MI 61-101 as the exemption from the minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 and TSX Venture Exchange Policy 5.9 in respect of the issuance of Units to the officer and a director of Teras as neither the fair market value of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the Units issued to such officer and a director of Teras exceeded 25% of Teras’ market capitalization.
A written resolution of all of the directors of Teras dated effective January 20, 2020 approved the private placement. No special committee was established in connection with private placement, and no materially contrary view or abstention was expressed or made by any director in relation to the private placement.
This material change report filed in relation to the private placement was not filed at least 21 days prior to the issuance of the Units as contemplated by MI 61-101. Teras believes that this shorter period is reasonable and necessary in the circumstances as the completion of the private placement occurred shortly before the issuance of the news release and the filing of this material change report.
