The Vosyn intemship s unique. Remuneration is equivalent to $32.00 CAD per hour payable in common shares of the Corporation at the then fair market value. For greater clarity, NO cash in-hand (in hourly rate or salary) will be paid to the Intem. Instead, Vosyn being an Al start-up, the upside is in potential future value of said shares based on the hours worked, billed and approved.
