AND WHEREAS the Commission varied the Cease Trade Order on March 19, 2013, January 21, 2014 and July 22, 2014;

AND WHEREAS the Issuer's securities are not listed on and do not trade on any exchange in Canada;

AND WHEREAS a shareholder of the Issuer has made an application to the Commission pursuant to section 144(1) of the Act to vary the Cease Trade Order;

Despite this order, a beneficial shareholder of Poseidon Concepts Corp., who is not, and was not from 2011 onward, an insider or control person of Poseidon Concepts Corp., may sell securities of Poseidon Concepts Corp. acquired before February 26, 2013, if:

1. the sale is made through a market outside of Canada; and

2. the sale is made through an investment dealer registered in Ontario.

DATED this 2nd day of September, 2015.
