Effective June 4, 2012, First Corporation entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with ISI Nominees Limited, pursuant to which it issued to ISI Nominees Limited a Convertible Note in the original principal amount of $500,000.

The note bears interest at a rate of 8% per annum and is convertible at a price of $0.60 per share on ten days’ notice at the investor’s option or at the option of First Corporation if the average closing share price for ten trading days preceding such notice exceeds $1.00.
