SaskWorks Venture Fund Inc. ("SaskWorks") acquired 5,291,667 Common Shares pursuant to the Offering and upon completion of the Offering, SaskWorks will own or control 35,866,369 Common Shares, or approximately 20.35% of the total issued and outstanding Common Shares and common share purchase warrants to acquire 2,177,998 Common Shares. Assuming the exercise of such warrants, SaskWorks would own or control 38,044,367 Common Shares, or approximately 21.32% of the total issued and outstanding Common Shares. The purchase of the Common Shares by SaskWorks was made for investment purposes. SaskWorks may increase or decrease its investment in StorageVault depending on market conditions or any other relevant factors.

Directors and officers of StorageVault participated in the Offering purchasing 78,788 Common Shares and SaskWorks participated in the Offering purchasing 5,291,667 Common Shares and these purchases are considered "related party transactions" under Canadian securities laws. StorageVault is relying on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") and TSXV Policy 5.9, in respect of the purchase, pursuant to Section 5.5(b) (Issuer Not Listed on Specified Markets) and Section 5.7(a) (Fair Market Value Not More Than 25% of Market Capitalization) of MI 61-101, respectively. No new insiders were created, nor has any change of control occurred, as a result of the Offering.

Amended Winnipeg Mini Storage Acquisition

StorageVault has entered into a revised asset purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Winnipeg Mini Storage Inc. ("Winnipeg Mini Storage") to purchase for an aggregate purchase price of $978,000 cash, subject to customary adjustments, all of the self storage assets, property and business, other than the lands and buildings, used in the operation of Winnipeg Mini Storage. This Purchase Agreement replaces the agreement announced on November 20, 2015, and rather than purchase the lands and buildings associated with Winnipeg Mini Storage, StorageVault will enter into a lease for these lands and buildings. The acquisition of Winnipeg Mini Storage is an arm's length transaction.

The obligation of StorageVault to complete the Winnipeg Mini Storage acquisition is subject to initial conditions including, but not limited to, satisfactory due diligence and the negotiation and approval of a satisfactory lease in relation to the land and buildings of Winnipeg Mini Storage. The obligations of both StorageVault and Winnipeg Mini Storage to complete the acquisition are subject to the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions including, but not limited to, board approval and TSXV acceptance, if required. It is anticipated that the Winnipeg Mini Storage acquisition will occur on or before March 31, 2016. There can be no assurance that the Winnipeg Mini Storage acquisition will be completed as proposed or at all.
