Description of the FinancingS and Related Agreements
Helena Financing
On December 5, 2023, Filament entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Helena SPA”) with Helena Global Investment Opportunities 1 Ltd. (“Helena”), an affiliate of Helena Partners Inc., a Cayman-Islands based advisor and investor. The Helena SPA provides for (i) aggregate gross proceeds of up to USD$14.4 million in funding through several tranches of convertible notes (“Convertible Notes”) and (ii) the issuance to Helena of warrants to purchase an amount of shares equal to 50% of the principal amount of each issued tranche of Convertible Notes divided by USD$1.65 (the “Helena Warrants” and collectively, the “Helena Financing”).
Convertible Notes
The Convertible Notes may be issued in six sequential tranches, each in an aggregate nominal value of USD$2.4 million, and each tranche will be issued with an original issue discount of 10% such that Filament will receive a net amount of USD$2.16 million in connection with each tranche. The first two tranches will be issued at Closing. Additional tranches may be issued only following the effectiveness of a resale registration statement covering the shares issuable in respect of such tranche. Additionally, the third tranche is not issuable until eight months after Closing. The remaining tranches are issuable thereafter provided that (i) each Convertible Note issued in connection with a prior tranche has either been fully converted or paid and (ii) TopCo’s market capitalization is greater than a certain threshold set forth in the Helena SPA.
Each Convertible Note matures 12 months after issuance and accrues interest at a rate of 10% per annum, payable quarterly in cash or by increasing the outstanding principal amount of such note, at TopCo’s discretion. The Helena SPA pursuant to which Convertible Notes are issuable terminates on December 5, 2025. The Convertible Notes will be senior in payment to all subsequent indebtedness of TopCo, and will be secured by a lien on substantially all assets of TopCo.
At any time, Helena may elect to convert a Convertible Note at a conversion price per share equal to 90% of the five-day volume weighted average trading price of TopCo Common Shares on the Nasdaq (the “VWAP Price”), provided that the conversion price will not be lower than USD$1.65 per share.
In connection with the Helena SPA, TopCo will reimburse Helena for up to USD$75,000 in legal fees at closing in addition to the $20,000 non-refundable deposit that has already been paid, and will pay a commitment fee in three equal installments of USD$240,000 each, to be paid on each of the sixtieth, seventy-fifth and ninetieth days following the issuance of the first tranche.
Helena Warrants
In connection with the Helena SPA, Filament will issue Helena Warrants to Helena to purchase an amount of shares equal to 50% of the principal amount of each issued tranche of Convertible Notes divided by USD$1.65. The Helena Warrants expire on the fifth anniversary of the closing of the applicable tranche.
The Helena Warrants are exercisable at a price of USD$12.50 per share, subject to adjustment if TopCo raises subsequently conducts an equity financing at a price per share lower than USD$12.50.
The foregoing description of the Helena SPA, the Convertible Notes and the Helena Warrants are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Helena SPA, the Convertible Note and the Helena Common Share Purchase Warrant, which are included in Annex G to this Supplement.
October 2023 Private Placement
On December 5, 2023, Filament completed the October 2023 private placement (the “October 2023 Private Placement”), pursuant to which Filament issued by way of non-brokered private placement 5,999,998 units (“October 2023 Units”) at a price of CAD$0.15 per October 2023 Unit for gross proceeds of approximately CAD$900,000. Negev Capital was lead investor of the October 2023 Private Placement. Each October 2023 Unit is comprised of one Filament Common Share (“October 2023 Share”) and one Filament Common Share purchase warrant (“October 2023 Warrant”), with each such October 2023 Warrant being exercisable to purchase one Filament Common Share at a price of CAD$0.20 per share until December 5, 2026. In connection with the October 2023 Private Placement, Benjamin Lightburn, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Filament, purchased 233,333 October 2023 Units for CAD$35,000.
Founder Financing
TopCo is expected to enter into Securities Purchase Agreements (the “Founder SPAs”) with an affiliate of Filament and certain other investors who are affiliates or advisors of Jupiter, as well as investors controlled by certain affiliates of Jupiter, including Mr. James N. Hauslein (collectively, the “Founder Investors”). The Founder SPAs provide for (i) an aggregate of USD$900,000 in funding through convertible notes (“Founder Convertible Notes”) and (ii) warrants to purchase an amount of shares equal to 50% of the principal amount of the Founder Convertible Notes divided by $2.00 (the “Founder Warrants” and collectively, the “Founder Financing”).
Founder Convertible Notes
The Founder Convertible Notes are expected to be issued at Closing, with an aggregate nominal value of USD$1,000,000, and will be issued with an original issue discount of 10%. The Founder Convertible Notes mature 12 months after issuance and accrue interest at a rate of 10% per annum, payable quarterly in cash or by increasing the outstanding principal amount of such note, at TopCo’s discretion. Unlike the Convertible Notes, the Founder Convertible Notes will be unsecured.
At any time, a Founder Investor may elect to convert its Founder Convertible Note into TopCo Common Shares at a conversion price of $2.00 per share.
Founder Warrants
In connection with the Founder SPAs, TopCo will issue Founder Warrants to the Founder Investors to purchase an amount of TopCo Common Shares equal to 50% of the principal amount of the Founder Convertible Notes divided by $2.00. The Founder Warrants expire on the fifth anniversary of the Closing.
The Founder Warrants are exercisable at a price of $12.50 per share, subject to adjustment if TopCo subsequently conducts an equity financing at a price per share lower than $12.50.
The foregoing description of the Founder SPAs, the Founder Convertible Notes and the Founder Warrants are subject to the negotiation of definitive agreements, which are expected to be disclosed when available.
Certain Engagements Related to the Financings
Amendments to Maxim Letter
On March 22, 2023, the Company entered into a second amendment to the original Maxim Letter with Maxim. Pursuant to the amended agreement, immediately prior to the Arrangement Effective Time, Filament will issue the Advisory Shares to Maxim. The number of Advisory Shares will be a number of Filament Common Shares that are exchangeable at the Arrangement Effective Time for TopCo Common Shares such that, after such exchange, Maxim will receive 500,000 TopCo Common Shares. The TopCo Common Shares that may be received in exchange for the Advisory Shares are in addition to the TopCo Common Shares that are included within the Filament Shareholder Transaction Consideration, and the TopCo Common Shares into which the Advisory Shares may be converted are being registered pursuant to the Registration Statement of which the Proxy Statement/Prospectus forms a part and will be unrestricted and freely transferable.
In addition, pursuant to the Maxim Letter, Maxim will receive a financial advisory fee of USD$250,000 in cash at Closing and an additional USD$250,000 in cash upon the earlier of (i) 12 months after the Closing and (ii) the receipt of an aggregate of USD$5 million in gross proceeds by the Combined Company from financing activity (other than capital raised from Helena).
ARC Engagement
On November 15, 2023, Jupiter engaged ARC Group Limited (“ARC”) to act as its financial advisor in connection with the Helena Financing, and Filament agreed to such engagement, pursuant to which ARC will be paid advisory fees equal to USD$100,000 per tranche of Convertible Notes at the time of funding by Helena of each such tranche.
First Amendment to the Original Business Combination Agreement
In connection with the execution of the Helena SPA, on December 5, 2023, Jupiter, TopCo, Merger Sub and Filament entered into that certain First Amendment to Business Combination Agreement (the “First Amendment”) to provide for the Convertible Notes issued in the Helena Financing in the proposed Arrangement and to amend the form of Plan of Arrangement included as Exhibit D to the Original Business Combination Agreement. Except as expressly amended by the First Amendment, the terms of the Original Business Combination Agreement remain in full force and effect.
The foregoing description of the First Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the First Amendment included as Annex H to this Supplement.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or this Supplement may constitute “forward-looking statements” for purposes of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding Filament’s, TopCo’s or Jupiter’s, or their respective management team’s, expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or this Supplement may include, for example, statements about:
| ● | Filament’s, TopCo’s or Jupiter’s ability to consummate the Business Combination or the financings described in this Supplement; |
| ● | the benefits of the Business Combination or the financings described in this Supplement; |
| ● | the Combined Company’s financial performance following the consummation of the Business Combination; |
| ● | prospective and illustrative financial information included in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or this Supplement; |

| ● | changes in Filament’s strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects and plans; |
| ● | Filament’s strategic advantages and the impact those advantages will have on future financial and operational results; |
| ● | expansion plans and opportunities, including total addressable market estimates; |
| ● | Filament’s ability to grow its business in a cost-effective manner; |

| ● | Filament’s approach and goals with respect to technology; |
| ● | Filament’s expectations regarding its ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection and not infringe on the rights of others; |
| ● | the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, or the recent escalation of the conflict in Israel, on Filament’s business; |
| ● | changes in foreign currency exchange rates, which can affect revenue and foreign currency prices; |
| ● | changes in applicable laws or regulations; and |
| ● | the outcome of any known and unknown litigation and regulatory proceedings. |
These forward-looking statements are based on information available as of the date of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or this Supplement, as applicable, and current expectations, forecasts and assumptions, and involve a number of judgments, risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Filament’s, TopCo’s or Jupiter’s, or their respective management team’s, views as of any subsequent date, and Filament, TopCo and Jupiter do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements in deciding how to vote your proxy or instruct how your vote should be cast on the proposals set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. As a result of a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, Filament’s, Jupiter’s or the Combined Company’s actual results or performance may be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Some factors that could cause actual results to differ include:
| ● | the timing of the Closing and the level of Redemption Rights that are exercised in respect of Public Shares, and the completion of the financings described in this Supplement, which may adversely affect Filament’s ability to execute its business plan; |
| ● | the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could delay the Business Combination or give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement; |
| ● | the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Filament, TopCo or Jupiter following announcement of the Business Combination and transactions contemplated thereby; |
| ● | the inability to complete the Business Combination on a timely basis or at all due to the failure to obtain approval of Jupiter stockholders or to satisfy other conditions to the Closing in the Business Combination Agreement; |
| ● | Filament’s ability to continue as a going concern; |
| ● | the ability to obtain or maintain the listing of the TopCo Common Shares or TopCo Warrants on Nasdaq, following the consummation of the Business Combination; |
| ● | the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of Filament as a result of the announcement and consummation of the transactions described herein; |
| ● | the Combined Company’s ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition and the ability of Filament to grow and manage growth profitably following the consummation of the Business Combination; |
| ● | costs related to the Business Combination; |
| ● | changes in applicable laws or regulations; |
| ● | the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, or the recent escalation of the conflict in Israel, on Filament’s business; |
| ● | the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after the completion of the Business Combination, and identify and realize additional opportunities; |
| ● | the risk of downturns and the possibility of rapid change in the industry in which Filament operates; |
| ● | the risk that Filament and its current and future collaborators are unable to successfully develop and commercialize Filament’s products, or experience significant delays in doing so; |
| ● | the risk that the Combined Company may never achieve or sustain profitability; |
| ● | the risk that the Combined Company may need to raise additional capital to execute its business plan, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all; |
| ● | the risk that the Combined Company experiences difficulties in managing its growth and expanding operations; |
| ● | the risk that third-party providers are not able to fully and timely meet their obligations; |
| ● | the risk that Filament is unable to secure or protect its intellectual property; |
| ● | the possibility that Filament, Jupiter or the Combined Company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; and |
| ● | other risks and uncertainties described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, including those under the section entitled “Risk Factors,” and in this Supplement, including those under the section entitled “Risks Related to the Financings.” |
RISKS RELATED TO THE FINANCINGS
Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this subsection to “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Filament prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, or to the businesses of TopCo, Filament, and Jupiter, collectively, following the consummation of the Business Combination.
TopCo will have a higher level of indebtedness following completion of the Business Combination. This indebtedness could adversely affect TopCo’s ability to raise additional capital to fund its operations and react to changes in the economy or its industry.
The level of indebtedness of TopCo after completion of the Business Combination and the related financing transactions will be substantially greater than the level of indebtedness of Filament prior to the completion of the Business Combination. TopCo’s leverage following the completion of the Business Combination subjects TopCo to risks, including the following:
| ● | decreases in cash flow or an increase in expenses of TopCo could make it difficult for TopCo to satisfy its debt service requirements or force it to modify its operations; |
| ● | TopCo’s ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, business development, debt service requirements or other purposes may be impaired or any such financing may not be available on terms favorable to TopCo; |
| ● | a substantial portion of cash flows from operations will be dedicated to interest expense and the payment of principal, which will reduce the funds that would otherwise be available to TopCo for its operations and future business opportunities or for dividends or other distributions; |
| ● | the leverage will increase TopCo’s vulnerability to general economic downturns and adverse industry conditions and limit its flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in its business and its industry generally; |
| ● | the leverage and the amount of funds that TopCo needs to service its debt obligations may place TopCo at a competitive disadvantage to its competitors that are less highly leveraged; and |
| ● | the substantial leverage may limit TopCo’s ability to make strategic acquisitions. |
The issuance of additional securities in the financings described in this Supplement will further dilute holders of TopCo and may affect the market price of TopCo Common Shares.
As described in the section of this Supplement entitled “Description of the Financings and Related Agreements”, prior to or concurrent with the Closing, (i) TopCo will issue to the Founder Investors Founder Convertible Notes and Founder Warrants to purchase TopCo Common Shares, (ii) Filament will issue to Negev Bridge Units comprised of one Filament Common Share (which will be exchanged at Closing for TopCo Common Shares) and one warrant to purchase one Filament Common Share (which will be exchanged at Closing for warrants of TopCo) and (iii) TopCo will issue to Helena a Convertible Note and Helena Warrants to purchase TopCo Common Shares. As a result of the TopCo Common Shares issuable (i) to Negev at Closing and (ii) to Negev, the Founder Investors and Helena upon exercise of conversion of such convertible notes or warrants, as applicable, holders will suffer dilution with respect to voting power and may experience dilution in our earnings per share. Additionally, if Negev or Helena subsequently sell TopCo Common Shares they receive upon such exercise or conversion, the trading price of TopCo Common Shares may decrease due to the additional amount of TopCo Common Shares available in the market.
Raising additional capital may decrease the value of TopCo Common Shares, cause dilution to our shareholders or restrict our operations.
Additional issuances of equity may involve the issuance of a significant number of TopCo Common Shares at prices less than the current market price for TopCo Common Shares. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity, convertible debt securities or other equity-based derivative securities, your ownership interest will be diluted and the terms may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a shareholder. Any indebtedness we incur could involve restrictive covenants, such as limitations on our ability to incur additional debt, acquire or license intellectual property rights, declare dividends, make capital expenditures and other operating restrictions that could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business. Furthermore, the issuance of additional securities, whether equity or debt, by us, or the possibility of such issuance, may cause the market price of TopCo Common Shares to decline. In addition, a decline in the market prices of our securities could impair our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of securities should we desire to do so. If we are unable to raise additional funds when needed, we may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product development or future commercialization efforts or grant rights to develop and market our future therapeutic candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves.

In addition, an aggregate of 1,945,189 Sponsor Earnout Shares to be issued to the Sponsor and an aggregate of 139,001 Underwriter Earnout Shares to be issued to Jupiter’s three IPO underwriters and their designees, in each case at the Closing and in exchange for certain shares of Jupiter Common Stock currently held by such holders, will be subject to vesting conditions and will be forfeited if such conditions are not satisfied.
All or a portion of the Filament Earnout Shares will convert into TopCo Common Shares, and all or a portion of the Sponsor Earnout Shares and the Underwriter Earnout Shares will vest, in each case if certain conditions are satisfied within seven years following the Closing Date, as follows:
| (1) | Each TopCo Class B Earnout Share will convert into TopCo Common Shares on a one-for-one basis, and 972,594 Sponsor Earnout Shares and 69,500 Underwriter Earnout Shares will vest in full if (i) on any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period, the trading price of the TopCo Common Shares is greater than or equal to USD$12.00 (as adjusted for share splits, reverse share splits, sub-divisions, rights issuances, stock dividends, reorganization, recapitalization and other similar transactions), or (ii) there occurs any transaction resulting in a Change of Control of TopCo; and |
| (2) | Each TopCo Class C Earnout Share will convert into TopCo Common Shares on a one-for-one basis, and 972,595 Sponsor Earnout Shares and 69,501 Underwriter Earnout Shares will vest in full if (i) on any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period, the trading price of the TopCo Common Shares is greater than or equal to USD$15.00 (as adjusted for share splits, reverse share splits, sub-divisions, rights issuances, stock dividends, reorganization, recapitalization and other similar transactions), or (ii) there occurs any transaction resulting in a Change of Control of TopCo. |
Unless and until converted into TopCo Common Shares as a result of the foregoing conditions being satisfied, the Filament Earnout Shares shall bear no economic or voting rights other than the right to be redeemed for an amount equal to the greater of (i) the aggregate USD$0.00000000001 for each Filament Earnout Share of such class held, and (ii) USD$0.01 under certain conditions.
Bridge Financing
On July 24, 2023, Filament completed the Bridge Financing, pursuant to which Filament issued by way of non-brokered private placement 27,777,773 Bridge Units at a price of CAD$0.09 per Bridge Unit for gross proceeds of approximately CAD$2,500,000. Each Bridge Unit is comprised of one Bridge Share and one Bridge Warrant, with each such Bridge Warrant being exercisable to purchase one Filament Common Share at a price of CAD$0.117 per share until July 24, 2026.
Negev Capital, a psychedelic medical intervention investment fund that has made over 25 investments to date, was lead investor of the Bridge Financing. Konstantin Adamsky, one of the members of the Filament Board, is Principal at Negev Capital. The net proceeds of the Bridge Financing will be used for the initiation of patient recruitment for the Company’s Phase 2 Methamphetamine Use Disorder clinical trial under an IND that has already been accepted by the FDA as well as for other general corporate purposes.
October 2023 Private Placement
On December 5, 2023, Filament completed the October 2023 Private Placement, pursuant to which Filament issued by way of non-brokered private placement 5,999,998 October 2023 Units at a price of CAD$0.15 per October 2023 Unit for gross proceeds of approximately CAD$900,000. Negev Capital was lead investor of the October 2023 Private Placement. Each October 2023 Unit is comprised of one October 2023 Share and one October 2023 Warrant, with each such October 2023 Warrant being exercisable to purchase one Filament Common Share at a price of CAD$0.20 per share until December 5, 2026. In connection with the October 2023 Private Placement, Benjamin Lightburn, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Filament, purchased 233,333 October 2023 Units for CAD$35,000.
Founder Financing
TopCo is expected to enter into the Founder SPAs with the Founder Investors. The Founder SPAs provide for (i) an aggregate of USD$900,000 in funding through Founder Convertible Notes and (ii) Founder Warrants to purchase an amount of shares equal to 50% of the principal amount of the Founder Convertible Notes divided by $2.00.
Founder Convertible Notes
The Founder Convertible Notes are expected to be issued at Closing, with an aggregate nominal value of USD$1,000,000, and will be issued with an original issue discount of 10%. The Founder Convertible Notes mature 12 months after issuance and accrue interest at a rate of 10% per annum, payable quarterly in cash or by increasing the outstanding principal amount of such note, at TopCo’s discretion. Unlike the Convertible Notes, the Founder Convertible Notes will be unsecured.
At any time, a Founder Investor may elect to convert its Founder Convertible Note into TopCo Common Shares at a conversion price of $2.00 per share.
Founder Warrants
In connection with the Founder SPAs, TopCo will issue to the Founder Investors Founder Warrants to purchase an amount of TopCo Common Shares equal to 50% of the principal amount of the Founder Convertible Notes divided by $2.00. The Founder Warrants expire on the fifth anniversary of the Closing.
The Founder Warrants are exercisable at a price of $12.50 per share, subject to adjustment if TopCo subsequently conducts an equity financing at a price per share lower than $12.50.
The foregoing description of the Founder SPAs, the Founder Convertible Notes and the Founder Warrants are subject to the negotiation of definitive agreements, which are expected to be disclosed when available.
Helena Financing
On December 5, 2023, Filament entered into the Helena SPA with Helena, an affiliate of Helena Partners Inc., a Cayman-Islands based advisor and investor. The Helena SPA provides for (i) aggregate gross proceeds of up to USD$14.4 million in funding through several tranches of Convertible Notes and (ii) the issuance to Helena of Helena Warrants to purchase an amount of shares equal to 50% of the principal amount of each issued tranche of Convertible Notes divided by USD$1.65.
Convertible Notes
The Convertible Notes may be issued in six sequential tranches, each in an aggregate nominal value of USD $2.4 million, and each tranche will be issued with an original issue discount of 10% such that Filament will receive a net amount of USD $2.16 million in connection with each tranche. The first two tranches will be issued at Closing. Additional tranches may be issued only following the effectiveness of a resale registration statement covering the shares issuable in respect of such tranche. Additionally, the third tranche is not issuable until eight months after Closing. The remaining tranches are issuable thereafter provided that (i) each Convertible Note issued in connection with a prior tranche has either been fully converted or paid and (ii) TopCo’s market capitalization is greater than a certain threshold set forth in the Helena SPA.
Each Convertible Note matures 12 months after issuance and accrues interest at a rate of 10% per annum, payable quarterly in cash or by increasing the outstanding principal amount of such note, at TopCo’s discretion. The Helena SPA pursuant to which Convertible Notes are issuable terminates on December 5, 2025. The Convertible Notes will be senior in payment to all subsequent indebtedness of TopCo, and will be secured by a lien on substantially all assets of TopCo.
At any time, Helena may elect to convert a Convertible Note at a conversion price per share equal to 90% of the five-day volume weighted average trading price of TopCo Common Shares on the Nasdaq (the “VWAP Price”), provided that the conversion price will not be lower than USD$1.65 per share.
In connection with the Helena SPA, TopCo will reimburse Helena for up to USD$75,000 in legal fees at closing in addition to the $20,000 non-refundable deposit that has already been paid, and will pay a commitment fee in three equal installments of USD$240,000 each, to be paid on each of the sixtieth, seventy-fifth and ninetieth days following the issuance of the first tranche.
Helena Warrants
In connection with the Helena SPA, Filament will issue Helena Warrants to Helena to purchase an amount of shares equal to 50% of the principal amount of each issued tranche of Convertible Notes divided by USD$1.65. The Helena Warrants expire on the fifth anniversary of the closing of the applicable tranche.
The Helena Warrants are exercisable at a price of USD$12.50 per share, subject to adjustment if TopCo raises subsequently conducts an equity financing at a price per share lower than USD$12.50.
The foregoing description of the Helena SPA, the Convertible Notes and the Helena Warrants are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Helena SPA, the Convertible Note and the Helena Common Share Purchase Warrant, which are included in Annex G to this Supplement.
Special Meeting Redemptions
In connection with the special meeting held by Jupiter on April 18, 2023, in connection with the implementation of the extension of the date by which Jupiter must consummate an initial business combination from August 17, 2023 to December 17, 2023, Jupiter’s public stockholders elected to redeem 14,286,357 shares of Class A common stock at a redemption price of approximately USD$10.16 per share (the “April Redemptions”), for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately USD$145.2 million. The adjustment for the April Redemptions has been presented in the unaudited pro forma balance sheet.
For a description of the Business Combination and certain agreements executed in connection therewith, see “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus — The Business Combination” and “Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination.”
Accounting for the Business Combination
IAS 8 has been applied to the transaction, and in doing so referring to the IFRIC March 2013 agenda decision which addressed the topic of a reverse acquisition. The substance of the transaction is the accounting acquirer (operating company) has made a share-based payment to acquire a listing along with the listed company’s cash balances and other net assets. The transaction should therefore be accounted for in accordance with IFRS 2. Under this method of accounting, Jupiter will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes, and Filament will be the accounting “acquirer”. This determination was primarily based on the assumption that:
| ● | Filament’s current shareholders will hold a majority of the voting power of TopCo post-Business Combination; |
| ● | Effective upon the Business Combination, the post-combination Board will consist of six (6) directors, a majority of whom will be independent under Nasdaq requirements, consisting of five (5) directors designated by Filament and one (1) director designated by Jupiter; |
| ● | Filament’s operations will substantially comprise the ongoing operations of TopCo; |
| ● | Filament is the larger entity in terms of substantive operations and employee base; and |
| ● | Filament’s senior management will comprise the senior management of TopCo. |
Another determining factor was that Jupiter does not meet the definition of a “business” pursuant to IFRS 3, and thus, for accounting purposes, the substance of the transaction is the accounting acquirer (operating company) has made a share-based payment to acquire a listing along with the listed company’s cash balances and other net assets. The transaction should therefore be accounted for in accordance with IFRS 2. The net assets of Jupiter will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded as management determined that the relative fair value is equivalent to the historical value. Any excess of fair value of shares issued to Jupiter over the fair value of Jupiter’s identifiable net assets acquired represents compensation for the service of a stock exchange listing for its shares and is expensed as incurred.
Jupiter has elected to provide the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information under two different redemption scenarios of Jupiter public shares into cash as more fully described below:
| ● | Scenario 1 — Assuming No Additional Redemptions: This presentation assumes that, after taking into account the April Redemptions, no Public Stockholders of Jupiter exercise redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares upon consummation of the Business Combination. |
| ● | Scenario 2 — Assuming Maximum Redemptions: This presentation assumes that Jupiter Public Stockholders holding 100% of the Public Shares will exercise their Redemption Rights for CAD$20.8 million upon consummation of the Business Combination at a redemption price of approximately CAD$14.10 per share (or approximately USD$10.42 per share) and that no Public Shares remain outstanding after such redemptions. This presentation also assumes the foregoing redemptions take place after the April Redemptions. The maximum redemption amount allows for the 100% redemption of the Public Shares as the alternative financing secured meets the minimum cash requirement and the payment of the transaction expenses required to be paid at the consummation of the Business Combination. This scenario includes all adjustments contained in the “no additional redemptions” scenario and presents additional adjustments to reflect the effect of the maximum redemptions. |
The following table sets out share ownership of TopCo on a pro forma basis assuming the No Additional Redemption Scenario and the Maximum Redemption Scenario:
| | No Additional Redemptions | | | Maximum Redemptions | |
Pro Forma Ownership | | Number of Shares | | | Percent Outstanding | | | Number of Shares | | | Percent Outstanding | |

Ltd., a corporation organized under the laws of British Columbia (“TopCo”), Filament Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of TopCo (“Merger Sub” and, together with TopCo, the “Merger Subsidiaries”), and Filament Health Corp., a corporation organized under the laws of British Columbia (“Filament” or the “Company”), entered into a business combination agreement (as amended on December 5, 2023 by the First Amendment to the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination Agreement”), which provides for a proposed business combination through a series of related transactions. Two Business Days prior to the date of the Closing (the “Closing Date”), Jupiter will merge with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”), with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving company after the Merger (the “Surviving Company”) and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of TopCo. As a result of the Merger, (a) each issued and outstanding share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share of Jupiter (“Jupiter Common Stock”) will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be converted into and exchanged for the right to receive one TopCo Common Share, (b) each issued and outstanding Jupiter warrant (“Jupiter Warrant”) will no longer be outstanding and will be automatically converted into and become one TopCo Warrant to purchase TopCo Common Shares, and all rights with respect to shares of Jupiter Common Stock underlying such Jupiter Warrants will be automatically converted into fights with respect to TopCo Common Shares, in each case, with TopCo issuing a number of TopCo Common Shares and TopCo Warrants in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and (c) the one issued and outstanding unit of limited liability company membership interest in the Surviving Company and (ii) the Surviving Company will issue in favor of TopCo a promissory note in an amount equal to the fair market value of the Merger Sub Unit held by TopCo immediately before the Merger. At least one Business Day following the Merger, TopCo will form a new British Columbia corporation (“AmalCo Sub”), which will be a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of TopCo, with AmalCo Sub issuing a single common share to TopCo. On the Closing Date and pursuant to a statutory plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “Plan of Arrangement”) (a) the outstanding convertible debentures of Filament will convert into common shares of Filament (“Filament Common Shares”) in accordance with their terms, as amended, (b) the notice of articles and articles of TopCo will be amended and restated to, among other matters, create Class B non-voting common shares of TopCo (the “TopCo Class B Earnout Shares”) and Class C non-voting common shares of TopCo (the “TopCo Class C Earnout Shares” and together with the TopCo Class B Earnout Shares, the “Filament Earnout Shares”), (c) Filament and AmalCo Sub will amalgamate to form a new British Columbia Corporation (“AmalCo”, and such transaction the “Amalgamation”), (d) Filament shareholders will exchange all of the issued and outstanding Filament Common Shares for the newly issued TopCo Common Shares, TopCo Class B Earnout Shares and TopCo Class C Earnout Shares, (e) TopCo will exchange its single common share of AmalCo Sub for a single common share of AmalCo, (f) holders of Filament warrants, RSUs and options will receive, as applicable, Rollover Warrants, Adjusted RSUs or Rollover Options, in each case entitling the holders thereof to acquire TopCo Common Shares upon exercise or settlement of such Rollover Warrants, Adjusted RSUs or Rollover Options; (g) TopCo will repurchase for cancellation the single common share issued to the incorporator of TopCo on incorporation; and (h) after giving effect to the Amalgamation, AmalCo will become a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of TopCo.
Exchange Consideration
At the Arrangement Effective Time, (i) the Filament Shareholder Transaction Consideration and the Filament Earnout Shares will be issued to holders of Filament Common Shares, and (ii) holders of Filament warrants, RSUs and options will receive, as applicable, Rollover Warrants, Adjusted RSUs or Rollover Options, in each case exercisable or settleable for TopCo Common Shares.
At the Merger Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of Jupiter Common Stock will automatically be converted into and exchanged for one TopCo Common Share, and each issued and outstanding Jupiter Warrant will be automatically converted into and become one TopCo Warrant to purchase TopCo Common Shares.
Earnout
At the Arrangement Effective Time, as described above, in addition to TopCo Common Shares, TopCo will issue to the holders of Filament Common Shares an amount of TopCo Class B Earnout Shares and TopCo Class C Earnout Shares, in each case equal to the number of Filament Common Shares multiplied by the ratio equal to (i) 1,500,000 divided by (ii) the number of issued and outstanding Filament Common Shares as of immediately prior to the Arrangement Effective Time. In addition, an aggregate of 1,945,189 Sponsor Earnout Shares to be issued to the Sponsor and an aggregate of 139,001 Underwriter Earnout Shares to be issued to Jupiter’s three IPO underwriters and their designees, in each case at the Closing and in exchange for certain shares of Jupiter Common Stock currently held by such holders, will be subject to vesting conditions and will be forfeited if such conditions are not satisfied.
All or a portion of the Filament Earnout Shares will convert into TopCo Common Shares, and all or a portion of the Sponsor Earnout Shares and the Underwriter Earnout Shares will vest, in each case if certain conditions are satisfied within seven years following the Closing Date, as follows:
| (1) | Each TopCo Class B Earnout Share will convert into TopCo Common Shares on a one-for-one basis, and 972,594 Sponsor Earnout Shares and 69,500 Underwriter Earnout Shares will vest in full if (i) on any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period, the trading price of the TopCo Common Shares is greater than or equal to USD$12.00 (as adjusted for share splits, reverse share splits, sub-divisions, rights issuances, stock dividends, reorganization, recapitalization and other similar transactions), or (ii) there occurs any transaction resulting in a Change of Control of TopCo; and |
| (2) | Each TopCo Class C Earnout Share will convert into TopCo Common Shares on a one-for-one basis, and 972,595 Sponsor Earnout Shares and 69,501 Underwriter Earnout Shares will vest in full if (i) on any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period, the trading price of the TopCo Common Shares is greater than or equal to USD$15.00 (as adjusted for share splits, reverse share splits, sub-divisions, rights issuances, stock dividends, reorganization, recapitalization and other similar transactions), or (ii) there occurs any transaction resulting in a Change of Control of TopCo. |
Unless and until converted into TopCo Common Shares as a result of the foregoing conditions being satisfied, the Filament Earnout Shares shall bear no economic or voting rights other than the right to be redeemed for an amount equal to the greater of (i) the aggregate USD$0.00000000001 for each Filament Earnout Share of such class held, and (ii) USD$0.01 under certain conditions.
Bridge Financing
On July 24, 2023, Filament completed the Bridge Financing, pursuant to which Filament issued by way of non-brokered private placement 27,777,773 Bridge Units at a price of CAD$0.09 per Bridge Unit for gross proceeds of approximately CAD$2,500,000. Each Bridge Unit is comprised of one Bridge Share and one Bridge Warrant, with each such Bridge Warrant being exercisable to purchase one Filament Common Share at a price of CAD$0.117 per share until July 24, 2026.
Negev Capital, a psychedelic medical intervention investment fund that has made over 25 investments to date, was lead investor of the Bridge Financing. Konstantin Adamsky, one of the members of the Filament Board, is Principal at Negev Capital. The net proceeds of the Bridge Financing will be used for the initiation of patient recruitment for the Company’s Phase 2 Methamphetamine Use Disorder clinical trial under an IND that has already been accepted by the FDA as well as for other general corporate purposes.
October 2023 Private Placement
On December 5, 2023, Filament completed the October 2023 Private Placement, pursuant to which Filament issued by way of non-brokered private placement 5,999,998 October 2023 Units at a price of CAD$0.15 per October 2023 Unit for gross proceeds of approximately CAD$900,000. Negev Capital was lead investor of the October 2023 Private Placement. Each October 2023 Unit is comprised of one October 2023 Share and one October 2023 Warrant, with each such October 2023 Warrant being exercisable to purchase one Filament Common Share at a price of CAD$0.20 per share until December 5, 2026. In connection with the October 2023 Private Placement, Benjamin Lightburn, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Filament, purchased 233,333 October 2023 Units for CAD$35,000.
Founder Financing
TopCo is expected to enter into the Founder SPAs with the Founder Investors. The Founder SPAs provide for (i) an aggregate of USD$900,000 in funding through Founder Convertible Notes and (ii) Founder Warrants to purchase an amount of shares equal to 50% of the principal amount of the Founder Convertible Notes divided by $2.00.
Founder Convertible Notes
The Founder Convertible Notes are expected to be issued at Closing, with an aggregate nominal value of USD$1,000,000, and will be issued with an original issue discount of 10%. The Founder Convertible Notes mature 12 months after issuance and accrue interest at a rate of 10% per annum, payable quarterly in cash or by increasing the outstanding principal amount of such note, at TopCo’s discretion. Unlike the Convertible Notes, the Founder Convertible Notes will be unsecured.
At any time, a Founder Investor may elect to convert its Founder Convertible Note into TopCo Common Shares at a conversion price of $2.00 per share.
Founder Warrants
In connection with the Founder SPAs, TopCo will issue to the Founder Investors Founder Warrants to purchase an amount of TopCo Common Shares equal to 50% of the principal amount of the Founder Convertible Notes divided by $2.00. The Founder Warrants expire on the fifth anniversary of the Closing.
The Founder Warrants are exercisable at a price of $12.50 per share, subject to adjustment if TopCo subsequently conducts an equity financing at a price per share lower than $12.50.
The foregoing description of the Founder SPAs, the Founder Convertible Notes and the Founder Warrants are subject to the negotiation of definitive agreements, which are expected to be disclosed when available.
Helena Financing
On December 5, 2023, Filament entered into the Helena SPA with Helena, an affiliate of Helena Partners Inc., a Cayman-Islands based advisor and investor. The Helena SPA provides for (i) aggregate gross proceeds of up to USD$14.4 million in funding through several tranches of Convertible Notes and (ii) the issuance to Helena of Helena Warrants to purchase an amount of shares equal to 50% of the principal amount of each issued tranche of Convertible Notes divided by USD$1.65.
Convertible Notes
The Convertible Notes may be issued in six sequential tranches, each in an aggregate nominal value of USD $2.4 million, and each tranche will be issued with an original issue discount of 10% such that Filament will receive a net amount of USD $2.16 million in connection with each tranche. The first two tranches will be issued at Closing. Additional tranches may be issued only following the effectiveness of a resale registration statement covering the shares issuable in respect of such tranche. Additionally, the third tranche is not issuable until eight months after Closing. The remaining tranches are issuable thereafter provided that (i) each Convertible Note issued in connection with a prior tranche has either been fully converted or paid and (ii) TopCo’s market capitalization is greater than a certain threshold set forth in the Helena SPA.
Each Convertible Note matures 12 months after issuance and accrues interest at a rate of 10% per annum, payable quarterly in cash or by increasing the outstanding principal amount of such note, at TopCo’s discretion. The Helena SPA pursuant to which Convertible Notes are issuable terminates on December 5, 2025. The Convertible Notes will be senior in payment to all subsequent indebtedness of TopCo, and will be secured by a lien on substantially all assets of TopCo.
At any time, Helena may elect to convert a Convertible Note at a conversion price per share equal to 90% of the five-day volume weighted average trading price of TopCo Common Shares on the Nasdaq (the “VWAP Price”), provided that the conversion price will not be lower than USD$1.65 per share.
In connection with the Helena SPA, TopCo will reimburse Helena for up to USD$75,000 in legal fees at closing in addition to the $20,000 non-refundable deposit that has already been paid, and will pay a commitment fee in three equal installments of USD$240,000 each, to be paid on each of the sixtieth, seventy-fifth and ninetieth days following the issuance of the first tranche.
Helena Warrants
In connection with the Helena SPA, Filament will issue Helena Warrants to Helena to purchase an amount of shares equal to 50% of the principal amount of each issued tranche of Convertible Notes divided by USD$1.65. The Helena Warrants expire on the fifth anniversary of the closing of the applicable tranche.
The Helena Warrants are exercisable at a price of USD$12.50 per share, subject to adjustment if TopCo raises subsequently conducts an equity financing at a price per share lower than USD$12.50.
The foregoing description of the Helena SPA, the Convertible Notes and the Helena Warrants are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Helena SPA, the Convertible Note and the Helena Common Share Purchase Warrant, which are included in Annex G to this Supplement.
Special Meeting Redemptions
In connection with the special meeting held by Jupiter on April 18, 2023, in connection with the implementation of the extension of the date by which Jupiter must consummate an initial business combination from August 17, 2023 to December 17, 2023, Jupiter’s public stockholders elected to redeem 14,286,357 shares of Class A common stock at a redemption price of approximately USD$10.16 per share (the “April Redemptions”), for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately USD$145.2 million. The adjustment for the April Redemptions has been presented in the unaudited pro forma balance sheet.
For a description of the Business Combination and certain agreements executed in connection therewith, see “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus — The Business Combination” and “Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination.”
Note 2 — Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies
Jupiter does not meet the definition of a “business” pursuant to IFRS 3 as it is an empty listed shell company holding only cash raised as part of its original equity issuance. As a result, the Business Combination does not qualify as a “business combination” within the meaning of IFRS 3, Business Combinations; rather, the Business Combination will be accounted for as an asset acquisition in accordance with IFRS 2, Share-Based Payments. See Note 3 — Accounting for the Business Combination for more details.
The historical financial statements of Filament have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB and in its functional and presentation currency of the Canadian dollar (“CAD”). The historical financial statements of Jupiter have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and in its functional and presentation currency of the United States dollar (“USD”). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information reflects IFRS, the basis of accounting used by Filament. Jupiter’s historical financial statements have been converted from U.S. GAAP to IFRS to align with the basis of accounting used by Filament. See Note 4 — IFRS Conversion and Presentation Alignment.
The historical financial statements of Jupiter have been translated into and are presented in CAD for the purposes of presentation in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information using the following exchange rates:
| ● | at the period end exchange rate as of September 30, 2023 of USD$1.00 to CAD$1.3535 for the balance sheet; |
| ● | the average exchange rate for the period from January 1, 2023 through September 30, 2023, of USD$1.00 to CAD$1.345586 for the statement of operations for the period ending on that date; |
| ● | the average exchange rate for the period from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022, of USD$1.00 to CAD$1.3019 for the statement of operations for the period ending on that date. |
Jupiter has elected to provide the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information under two different redemption scenarios of Jupiter public shares into cash as more fully described below:
| ● | Scenario 1 — Assuming No Additional Redemptions: This presentation assumes that, after taking into account the April Redemptions, no Public Stockholders of Jupiter exercise redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares upon consummation of the Business Combination. |
| ● | Scenario 2 — Assuming Maximum Redemptions: This presentation assumes that Jupiter Public Stockholders holding 100% of the Public Shares will exercise their Redemption Rights for CAD$20.8 million upon consummation of the Business Combination at a redemption price of approximately CAD$14.10 per share (or approximately USD$10.42 per share) and that no Public Shares remain outstanding after such redemptions. This presentation also assumes the foregoing redemptions take place after the April Redemptions. The maximum redemption amount allows for the 100% redemption of the Public Shares as the alternative financing secured meets the minimum cash requirement and the payment of the transaction expenses required to be paid at the consummation of the Business Combination. This scenario includes all adjustments contained in the “no additional redemptions” scenario and presents additional adjustments to reflect the effect of the maximum redemptions. |
The following summarizes the pro forma TopCo Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately after the Business Combination, presented under the two scenarios listed above:
| | No Additional Redemptions | | | Maximum Redemptions | |
Ownership percentage post-Business Combination | | Number of Shares | | | Percent Outstanding | | | Number of Shares | | | Percent Outstanding | |

(4) | Includes 198,573 Founder Shares (which includes 139,001 Underwriter Earnout Shares), 162,662 Private Shares and 300,000 Deferred Fee Shares. |
The pro forma adjustments do not have an income tax effect as they are either (i) incurred by legal entities that are not subject to a corporate income tax, or (ii) permanently non-deductible or non-taxable based on the laws of the relevant jurisdiction.
The share amounts and ownership percentages set forth above are not indicative of voting percentages and do not take into account (i) Jupiter Warrants that will remain outstanding immediately following the Business Combination and may be exercised 30 days thereafter or (ii) any Earnout Shares that may be issued following the Business Combination.
The following table illustrates varying beneficial ownership levels in the Combined Company immediately following the Business Combination, incorporating the assumptions described below as well as possible sources and extents of dilution for non-redeeming Public Stockholders assuming no additional redemptions by Public Stockholders, 25% redemption by Public Stockholders, 50% redemptions by Public Stockholders, 75% redemptions by Public Stockholders and the Maximum Redemptions Scenario assumptions with regard to redemptions by Public Stockholders, as further described below (and in each case after taking into account the April Redemptions):
| | No Redemptions | | | | | | 25% Redemptions | | | | | | 50% Redemptions | | | | | | 75% Redemptions | | | | | | Maximum Redemptions | | | | |

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, management will perform a comprehensive review of the two entities’ accounting policies. As a result of the review, management may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two entities which, when conformed, could have a material impact on the financial statements of the post-combination company. Management did not identify any differences that would have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. As a result, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not assume any differences in accounting policies.
Note 3 — Accounting for the Business Combination
The Business Combination will be accounted for as an asset acquisition, in accordance with IFRS. Under this method of accounting, Jupiter will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes, and Filament will be the accounting “acquirer”. This determination was primarily based on the assumption that:
| ● | Filament’s current shareholders will hold a majority of the voting power of TopCo post Business Combination; |
| ● | Effective upon the Business Combination, the post-combination Board will consist of six (6) directors, a majority of whom will be independent under Nasdaq requirements, consisting of five (5) directors designated by Filament and one (1) director designated by Jupiter; |
| ● | Filament’s operations will substantially comprise the ongoing operations of TopCo; |
| ● | Filament is the larger entity in terms of substantive operations and employee base; and |
| ● | Filament’s senior management will comprise the senior management of TopCo. |
Another determining factor was that Jupiter does not meet the definition of a “business” pursuant to IFRS 3, and thus, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be accounted for as an asset acquisition, within the scope of IFRS 2. The net assets of Jupiter will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded as management determined that the relative fair value is equivalent to the historical value. Any excess of fair value of shares issued to Jupiter over the fair value of Jupiter’s identifiable net assets acquired represents compensation for the service of a stock exchange listing for its shares and is expensed as incurred.
Note 4 — IFRS Conversion and Presentation Alignment
The historical financial information of Jupiter has been adjusted to give effect to the differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS as issued by the IASB for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. One adjustment was required to convert Jupiter’s financial statements from U.S. GAAP to IFRS for purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to reclassify Jupiter Class A Common Stock subject to redemption to non-current financial liabilities under IFRS 2, as shareholders have the right to require Jupiter to redeem the common stock and Jupiter has an irrevocable obligation to deliver cash or another financial instrument for such redemption.
Further, as part of the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, certain reclassifications were made to align Jupiter’s historical financial information in accordance with the presentation of Filament’s historical financial information.
In addition, as part of the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, Jupiter’s historical financial information was converted from United States dollars to Canadian dollars in accordance with the presentation of Filament’s historical financial information, as discussed in Note 2 — “Basis of Presentation.”
Note 5 — Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2023
The pro forma adjustments to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2023, are as follows:
| A. | Reflects the liquidation and reclassification of CAD$20.8 million of funds held in the Trust Account to cash that becomes available following the Business Combination. |
| B. | Reflects the settlement of deferred underwriting commissions upon the closing of the Business Combination through the issuance of 500,000 TopCo Common Shares. |
| C. | Represents preliminary estimated transaction costs expected to be incurred by Jupiter and Filament of approximately CAD$2.7 million and CAD$3.1 million, respectively, for legal, accounting, underwriting, due diligence, printing, the Maxim advisory fee and other fees incurred as part of the Business Combination. |
For the Jupiter Transaction Costs, reflects the estimated payment of CAD$1.1 million of estimated transaction costs, of which (1) CAD$0.2 million is the payment of transaction costs, (2) CAD$0.9 million is the payment of accrued transaction costs, (3) an amount of CAD$1.5 million will remain as a payable pursuant to an agreements with vendors to pay in installments subsequent to the closing of the Business Combination and (4) CAD$0.01 million have been paid as of the pro forma sheet date. The amount of CAD$0.2 million is reflected as an adjustment to accumulated losses.
For the Filament Transaction Costs, CAD$0.8 million of these fees have been paid as of the pro forma balance sheet date. The total amount of CAD$2.3 million is included as an adjustment to additional paid in capital. An amount of CAD$1.4 million is reflected as both a debit and credit to additional paid-in capital resulting from the issuance of 500,000 TopCo Common Shares as payment for advisory services provided in connection with the Business Combination. An amount of CAD$0.9 million will remain payable pursuant to an agreement with the vendor to pay in installments subsequent to the closing of the Business Combination.
| D. | Represents the exchange of outstanding Filament share capital into 14,808,290 TopCo Common Shares at no par value and represents the exchange of outstanding Jupiter shares into TopCo Common Shares upon the consummation of the Business Combination. |
| E. | Represents the elimination of Jupiter’s historical accumulated losses after recording the transaction costs to be incurred by Jupiter as described in (C) above. |
| F. | The No Additional Redemption Scenario presentation assumes that, after the April Redemptions, no Jupiter stockholders exercise their redemption rights for cash and the Class A common stock subject to redemption amounting to CAD $20.8 million would be transferred to permanent equity. The Maximum Redemption Scenario reflects, after the April Redemptions, the redemption of 100% of the Public Shares for aggregate redemption payments of CAD$20.8 million upon consummation of the Business Combination at a redemption price of approximately CAD$14.10 per share (or approximately USD$10.42 per share) and that no Public Shares remain outstanding after the maximum redemptions. The maximum redemption amount allows for the 100% redemption of the Public Shares as the alternative financing secured meets the minimum cash requirement and the payment of the transaction expenses required to be paid at the consummation of the Business Combination. |
| G. | In the No Additional Redemption Scenario, represents the preliminary estimated expense recognized, in accordance with IFRS 2, for the excess of the deemed costs of the shares issued by TopCo and the fair value of Jupiter’s identifiable net assets at the date of the Business Combination, resulting in a CAD$54.0 million increase to accumulated loss. In the Maximum Redemption Scenario, represents the preliminary estimated expense recognized, in accordance with IFRS 2, for the excess of the deemed costs of the shares issued by TopCo and the fair value of Jupiter’s identifiable net assets at the date of the Business Combination, resulting in a CAD$56.0 million increase to accumulated loss. The fair value of shares issued was estimated based on a market price of CAD$12.73 per share (or USD$9.40 per share) (as of November 30, 2023). The value is preliminary and will change based on fluctuations in the share price of the Jupiter common stock through the Closing Date. In the No Additional Redemption Scenario, a one percent change in the market price per share would result in a change of CAD$0.7 million in the estimated expense. In the Maximum Redemption Scenario, a one percent change in the market price per share would result in a change of CAD$0.5 million in the estimated expense. |

| EE. | Reflects fees associated with the issuance of the Convertible Notes. |
Note 8 — Net Loss per Share
Represents the loss per share calculated using the historical weighted average shares outstanding, and the issuance of additional shares in connection with the Business Combination, assuming the shares were outstanding since January 1, 2022. As the Business Combination is being reflected as if it had occurred at the beginning of the period presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted loss share assumes that the shares issued in connection with the Business Combination have been outstanding for the entire period presented. If the number of public shares described under the “Assuming Maximum Redemptions” scenario described above are redeemed, this calculation is retroactively adjusted to eliminate such shares for the entire period.

Note 9 — Refiling
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect revisions to the Transaction Accounting Adjustments and resulting revisions to the pro forma combined statement of financial position within both of the No Additional Redemption and Maximum Additional Redemption scenarios:
| ● | Decrease in cash of $2,872,213 as at September 30, 2023; |
| | |
| ● | Increase in commitment fees payable of $974,520 as at September 30, 2023; |
| | |
| ● | Decrease in discount on convertible debt of $1,346,733 as at September 30, 2023; and |
| | |
| ● | Decrease in TopCo Common Shares of $2,500,000 as of September 30, 2023. |
The nature of the restatements were to revise two separate misstatements within the Transaction Accounting Adjustments and to the pro forma combined statement of financial position, summarized below:
| - | Misstatement to Adjustment I - Bridge Financing was included as an adjustment to cash and TopCo Common Shares. The Bridge Financing closed on July 19, 2023 and should not have been included in any Transaction Accounting Adjustments, as it is appropriately included in Filament’s statement of financial position as of September 30, 2023. Correcting this misstatement resulted in a decrease in cash of $2,500,000 and a decrease in TopCo Common Shares of $2,500,000 as of September 30, 2023. |
| | |
| - | Misstatement to Adjustment Q - The fees associated with the issuance of the Convertible Notes were not properly accounted for within the pro forma combined statement of financial position. Correcting this misstatement resulted in a decrease to cash of $372,213, an increase to commitment fee payable of $974,520 and an increase to accumulated deficit of $1,346,733. |
COMPARATIVE SHARE INFORMATION
The following table sets forth summary historical comparative share information for Jupiter and Filament, respectively, and unaudited pro forma condensed combined per share information after giving effect to the Business Combination presented under two scenarios:
| ● | Scenario 1 — Assuming No Additional Redemptions: This presentation assumes that, after the April Redemptions, no Public Stockholders of Jupiter exercise their redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares upon consummation of the Business Combination; |
| ● | Scenario 2 — Assuming Maximum Redemptions: This presentation assumes that Jupiter Public Stockholders holding 100% of the Public Shares will exercise their Redemption Rights for CAD$20.8 million upon consummation of the Business Combination at a redemption price of approximately CAD$14.10 per share (or approximately USD$10.42 per share) and that no Public Shares remain outstanding after such redemptions. This presentation also assumes the foregoing redemptions take place after the April Redemptions. The maximum redemption amount allows for the 100% redemption of the Public Shares as the alternative financing secured meets the minimum cash requirement and the payment of the transaction expenses required to be paid at the consummation of the Business Combination. This scenario includes all adjustments contained in the “no additional redemptions” scenario and presents additional adjustments to reflect the effect of the maximum redemptions. |
This information is only a summary and should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of Jupiter and Filament and related notes that are included elsewhere in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and this Supplement. The unaudited pro forma combined per share information of Jupiter and Filament is derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Supplement.
The unaudited pro forma combined loss per share information below does not purport to represent the earnings per share which would have occurred had the companies been combined during the period presented, nor earnings per share for any future date or period.

JUPITER MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This “Jupiter Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and Jupiter’s financial statements, including the related notes, which are included in this Supplement. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements. Jupiter’s actual results could differ materially from those that are discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Supplement, particularly under “Risks Related to the Financings” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” and in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, particularly under “Risk Factors.” References in this section to “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company” or “Jupiter” generally refer to Jupiter Acquisition Corporation. References to $ in this section refer to the United States dollar unless otherwise specified.
Overview
Jupiter is a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on June 17, 2020, formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or other similar business combination with one or more businesses. Jupiter intends to effectuate an initial business combination using cash derived from the proceeds of the IPO and the Private Placement, the proceeds of the sale of its shares in connection with an initial business combination (pursuant to forward purchase agreements or backstop agreements it may enter into), shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, or a combination of the foregoing.
Jupiter expects to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of its acquisition plans, including in connection with the Business Combination. Jupiter cannot assure you that its plans to complete an initial business combination, including the Business Combination, will be successful.
Recent Developments
Underwriting Fee Waivers
On March 31, 2023, Nomura, an underwriter of the IPO, agreed to waive its entitlement to the deferred underwriting commissions of $4,046,657 owed or payable to Nomura pursuant to the underwriting agreement for the IPO.
On April 12, 2023, Brookline and Ladenburg, constituting all of the underwriters of the IPO (other than Nomura), notified Jupiter pursuant to a letter dated as of April 6, 2023, that each of Brookline and Ladenburg agreed to waive its entitlement to the cash payment of deferred underwriting commissions owed or payable pursuant to the underwriting agreement for the IPO and will each accept 150,000 common shares, totaling an aggregate of 300,000 common shares, which is approximately $4.90 per share, of the surviving company of Jupiter’s initial business combination in full satisfaction of the aggregate $1,469,991 that would be payable to such underwriters upon the closing of Jupiter’s initial business combination pursuant to the underwriting agreement for the IPO.
Extension
On April 18, 2023, at the Jupiter Extension Meeting, Jupiter’s stockholders approved, among other matters, (i) an amendment to the Charter to extend the date by which Jupiter must consummate an initial business Combination from August 17, 2023 to December 17, 2023, or such earlier date as determined by the Jupiter Board, and (ii) an amendment to the Trust Agreement to provide for the Extension. Following the Jupiter Extension Meeting, on April 20, 2023, in order to implement the Extension, Jupiter filed an amendment to the then-existing Jupiter Charter with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and entered into an amendment to the Trust Agreement with Continental.
In connection with the implementation of the Extension, (i) on April 20, 2023, all holders of Jupiter Class B Common Stock voluntarily elected to convert all shares of Jupiter Class B Common Stock to shares of Jupiter Class A Common Stock, on a one-for-one basis in accordance with the Jupiter Charter, and (ii) Jupiter redeemed 14,286,357 shares of Jupiter Class A Common Stock tendered for redemption by the Public Stockholders, at a redemption price of approximately $10.16 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $145.2 million. Upon completion of the Class B Conversion and such redemption, 6,011,192 shares of Jupiter Class A Common Stock and no shares of Jupiter Class B Common Stock remain issued and outstanding.
On November 8, 2023, Jupiter filed a preliminary proxy statement in connection with a possible further extension of the period of time in which Jupiter must consummate an initial business combination from December 17, 2023 to June 30, 2024 or such earlier date as determined by the Jupiter Board. However, Jupiter currently anticipates closing the Business Combination prior to December 17, 2023 and is therefore preparing for such further extension out of an abundance of caution if unforeseen events arise that would delay the consummation of the Business Combination beyond December 17, 2023.
Proposed Business Combination
On July 18, 2023, Jupiter entered into the Business Combination Agreement with TopCo, Merger Sub and Filament, which provides for the Business Combination, and certain Ancillary Agreements. The Business Combination, the Business Combination Agreement and certain Ancillary Agreements are in each case described in more detail in the sections of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus entitled “The Business Combination,” “The Business Combination Agreement” and “Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination.”
On August 14, 2023, TopCo initially filed with the SEC the Registration Statement in connection with the Business Combination. On November 13, 2023, the Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC, and Jupiter then filed the Proxy Statement/Prospectus with the SEC and commenced the mailing of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and other relevant documents to its stockholders as of November 6, 2023, the record date established for voting on the Business Combination.
The consummation of the Business Combination is subject to a number of conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement including, among others, receipt of the requisite approval of Jupiter’s stockholders and execution of various transaction agreements. There can be no assurance as to whether or when the Business Combination will be consummated.
Engagement of Placement Agent
On October 6, 2023, Jupiter engaged Maxim as its non-exclusive placement agent in connection with the PIPE Financing, pursuant to which Maxim will receive a cash fee upon the Closing equal to 7% of the gross proceeds of the PIPE Financing, customary expense reimbursement up to $25,000 and warrants to purchase the same securities sold in the PIPE Financing that are equal to 5% of the total securities sold in the PIPE Financing. Such warrants will be exercisable starting six months after the Closing until five years after the Closing at a price per share equal to 100% of the price of the securities sold in the PIPE Financing.
Results of Operations
Jupiter has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Jupiter’s only activities from June 17, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2023 were organizational activities and those necessary to prepare for the IPO, described below, and, subsequent to the IPO, identifying a target company for an initial business combination, implementing the Extension and seeking to complete the Business Combination. Jupiter does not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial business combination, at the earliest. Jupiter generates non-operating income in the form of interest income on marketable securities held in the Trust Account, with Continental acting as trustee. Jupiter incurs expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence expenses in connection with searching for, and completing, an initial business combination. Jupiter is also incurring expenses in connection with the Business Combination.
For the three months ended September 30, 2023, Jupiter had a net loss of $377,315, which consists of interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $249,491, unrealized loss on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $52,767, changes in fair value of warrant liability of $81,785, partially offset by operating costs of $449,701, and a provision for income taxes of $42,553.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Until the consummation of the IPO, Jupiter’s only source of liquidity was an initial purchase of Founder Shares by the Sponsor and Jupiter’s independent directors and loans from the Sponsor.
On August 17, 2021, Jupiter consummated the IPO of 15,000,000 Public Units, at $10.00 per Public Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $150,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, Jupiter consummated the private placement of 580,000 Private Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit to the Sponsor and certain of the underwriters of the IPO and certain of the underwriters’ employees, generating total gross proceeds of $5,800,000.
On August 23, 2021, the underwriters of the IPO notified Jupiter of their exercise of the over-allotment option in part and concurrent forfeiture of the remaining portion of such option. As such, on August 25, 2021, the underwriters purchased 761,850 additional Public Units at $10.00 per additional Public Unit upon the closing of the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, generating total gross proceeds of $7,618,500. Simultaneously with the closing of the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, Jupiter consummated the private placement of 15,237 additional Private Units at $10.00 per additional Private Unit to the Sponsor and certain of the underwriters of the IPO and certain of the underwriters’ employees, generating total gross proceeds of $152,370.
Of the aggregate 15,761,850 Public Units sold in the IPO, 13,365,000 Public Units were purchased the Anchor Investors. In connection with the closing of the IPO, the Anchor Investors each acquired from the Sponsor an indirect economic interest in 100,000 Founder Shares (or an aggregate of 900,000 Founder Shares) at the original purchase price that the Sponsor paid for the Founder Shares. The Sponsor has agreed to distribute such Founder Shares to the Anchor Investors after the completion of Jupiter’s initial business combination.
Following the IPO, including the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, and the Private Placement, a total of $157,618,500 was placed in the Trust Account. Jupiter incurred $9,292,595 in IPO-related costs, including $3,152,370 of underwriting fees, $5,516,648 of deferred underwriting fees and $623,577 of other offering costs.
In connection with the implementation of the Extension, (i) on April 20, 2023, all of the Founder Shares were converted from shares of Jupiter Class B Common Stock to shares of Jupiter Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Class B Conversion, and (ii) Jupiter redeemed 14,286,357 shares of Jupiter Class A Common Stock tendered for redemption by the Public Stockholders, at a redemption price of approximately $10.16 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $145.2 million. Upon completion of the Class B Conversion and the Redemption, 6,011,192 shares of Jupiter Class A Common Stock and no shares of Jupiter Class B Common Stock remain issued and outstanding.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, cash used in operating activities was $1,581,541. Net income of $304,340 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $2,319,875, reduction in deferred underwriter fee payable of $245,002, change in fair value of the warrant liability of $245,358 and deferred tax provision of $321,707. Changes in operating assets and liabilities provided $1,246,061 of cash for operating activities.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $843,102. Net income of $2,538,924 was affected by interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $818,225, unrealized gain on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $13,602 and change in fair value of the warrant liability of $3,069,883. Changes in operating assets and liabilities used $519,684 of cash for operating activities.
As of September 30, 2023, Jupiter had cash and marketable securities of $15,305,996 held in the Trust Account. Jupiter intends to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less deferred underwriting commissions, if payable, and taxes payable), to complete an initial business combination. To the extent that Jupiter’s capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete an initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue Jupiter’s growth strategies.
As of September 30, 2023, Jupiter had cash of $185,312 held outside the Trust Account. Jupiter intends to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete an initial business combination, and to pay for directors and officers liability insurance premiums.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, the Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of Jupiter’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan Jupiter funds as may be required. If Jupiter completes an initial business combination, Jupiter would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that Jupiter’s initial business combination does not close, Jupiter may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into units at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. The units would be identical to the Private Units.
Going Concern
As of September 30, 2023, Jupiter had $185,312 in its operating bank account and working capital deficit of $1,731,225.
As of September 30, 2023, approximately $551,066 of the amount on deposit in the Trust Account represented interest income, which is available to pay Jupiter’s tax obligations. As of September 30, 2023, Jupiter has withdrawn an amount of $1,613,646 in the interest income from the Trust Account to pay tax obligations.
Until the consummation of an initial business combination, Jupiter will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating its initial business combination.
Jupiter may need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from the Sponsor or Jupiter’s stockholders, officers, directors, or third parties. Jupiter’s officers and directors, the Sponsor, or their affiliates, may, but are not obligated to, loan Jupiter additional funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet Jupiter’s working capital needs. Accordingly, Jupiter may not be able to obtain such additional financing. If Jupiter is unable to raise additional capital, Jupiter may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. Jupiter cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.
In connection with Jupiter’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that if Jupiter is unable to complete an initial business combination, or effect an extension, by December 17, 2023, then Jupiter will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating.
In connection with Jupiter’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern,” Jupiter has until December 17, 2023 to consummate an initial business combination or effect an extension. It is uncertain that Jupiter will be able to consummate an initial business combination or effect an extension by this time. If Jupiter’s initial business combination is not consummated by this date and an extension has not been approved by its stockholders and effected, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of Jupiter. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and the mandatory liquidation, should an initial business combination not occur and an extension not be approved by Jupiter’s stockholders and effected, and potential subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about Jupiter’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should Jupiter be required to liquidate after December 17, 2023. Jupiter intends to continue to seek to complete an initial business combination before the mandatory liquidation date.
Moreover, Jupiter may need to obtain additional financing either to complete an initial business combination or because Jupiter becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of Public Shares upon completion of an initial business combination, in which case Jupiter may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, Jupiter would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of its initial business combination. If Jupiter does not complete an initial business combination because it does not have sufficient funds available to it, Jupiter e will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following Jupiter’s initial business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, the Combined Company may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet its obligations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Jupiter did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2023.
Contractual Obligations
Jupiter does not have any long-term debt obligations, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations or other long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a monthly fee of $15,000 for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. Jupiter began incurring these fees on August 12, 2021 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of an initial business combination and its liquidation.
The underwriters of the IPO were entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Public Unit sold in the IPO, or $5,516,648 in the aggregate, pursuant to the terms of the underwriting agreement for the IPO, which deferred fee would (i) become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that Jupiter completes an initial business combination and (ii) be waived by the underwriters in the event that Jupiter does not complete an initial business combination.
On March 31, 2023, Nomura, an underwriter of the IPO, agreed to waive its entitlement to the deferred underwriting commissions of $4,046,657 owed or payable to Nomura pursuant to the underwriting agreement for the IPO.
On April 12, 2023, Brookline and Ladenburg, constituting all of the underwriters of the IPO (other than Nomura), notified Jupiter pursuant to a letter dated as of April 6, 2023, that each of Brookline and Ladenburg agreed to waive its entitlement to the cash payment of deferred underwriting commissions owed or payable pursuant to the underwriting agreement for the IPO and will each accept 150,000 common shares, totaling an aggregate of 300,000 common shares, which is approximately $4.90 per share, of the surviving company of Jupiter’s initial business combination in full satisfaction of the aggregate $1,469,991 that would be payable to such underwriters upon the closing of Jupiter’s initial business combination pursuant to the underwriting agreement for the IPO.
Services rendered by Jupiter’s legal counsel are accrued on an ongoing basis but deferred for settlement until the closing of an initial business combination. The accrued fees were $1,550,000 and $758,955 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Jupiter has also entered into the Business Combination Agreement and certain Ancillary Agreements and engaged Maxim as its non-exclusive placement agent, as noted above.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. Jupiter has identified the following critical accounting policies:
Warrant Liabilities
Jupiter accounts for the Jupiter Warrants issued in connection with the IPO in accordance with the guidance contained in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815-40 under which the Jupiter Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, Jupiter classifies the Jupiter Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the Jupiter Warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in Jupiter’s statements of operations.
Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
Jupiter accounts for Jupiter Class A Common Stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares of Jupiter Class A Common Stock subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Jupiter Common Stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within Jupiter’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Jupiter Common Stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Jupiter Class A Common Stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of Jupiter’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, shares of Jupiter Class A Common Stock subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of Jupiter’s condensed balance sheets.
Net (Loss) Income Per Common Share
Net (loss) income per common share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of shares of Jupiter Common Stock outstanding during the period. Jupiter applies the two-class method in calculating net (loss) income per common share. Remeasurement associated with the redeemable shares of Jupiter Class A Common Stock is excluded from net (loss) income per common share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
Recent Accounting Standards
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on Jupiter’s condensed financial statements.

Since our inception, we have concentrated our efforts on building a comprehensive platform which supports the treatment of mental health conditions and substance use disorders through the administration of natural psychedelic drug candidates whose safety and efficacy would be supported by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) authorized human clinical trials and ultimately approved to be marketed.
Filament seeks to leverage its natural botanical extraction technology, manufacturing expertise and clinical candidate development, utilizing its intellectual property portfolio, in-house good manufacturing practices (“GMP”) facility, and Health Canada Dealer’s License for controlled natural psychedelics. Filament has manufactured standardized, stable botanical psychedelic drug candidates including oral psilocybin (PEX010), as well as oral and sublingual psilocin (PEX020 and PEX030, respectively). These drug candidates are currently being administered in FDA, European Medicines Agency (“EMA”), and Health Canada authorized human clinical trials within Filament’s internal drug development program, as well as through licensing agreements and academic agreements.
Internal Drug Discovery and Development
Filament’s internal drug discovery and development program is carried out by its wholly owned subsidiary, Psilo, and is focused on developing standardized pharmaceutical-grade drug candidates from botanical psychedelic biomass. Psilo’s core technologies are focused on: (i) methods and systems for extracting psychoactive components from fungi; (ii) stabilization and formulation of psychoactive compounds; and (iii) delivery of alkaloid compounds.
Psilo operates out of a vertically integrated research and manufacturing facility with a fully operational mycology lab, production facility and head office. Psilo holds a Health Canada Dealer’s License and is conducting its manufacturing processes under GMP conditions with current capacity of over 2,000 therapeutic psilocybin doses per month.
Filament has manufactured standardized, stable psychedelic candidates, including oral psilocybin as well as oral and sublingual psilocin, a notoriously unstable molecule. These drug candidates are currently being dosed under an IND accepted by the in an FDA authorized, which is believed to be Phase I clinical trial which is the first human clinical trial using naturally sourced psychedelic substances.
In addition, this trial is the first known direct administration of psilocin rather than its prodrug psilocybin. No other manufacturers have been able to produce a stable formulation of psilocin and enter it into a clinical trial. As a result of the need for psilocybin to convert into psilocin before becoming active in the human body, the direct administration of psilocin may yield several therapeutic benefits such as faster onset time, greater consistency, increased bioavailability, and lessened side effects.
Through experimentation, Psilo has come to believe that there are few viable methods to extract the psychoactive alkaloids from natural sources on a commercial scale and has obtained twenty-three (23) granted patents, as well has forty-five (45) pending patent filings, for the protection of these methods. Filament believes this protection may provide an advantage over others wishing to commercialize similar extracts.
Licensing Agreements
Filament is also focused on expanding its partnership network, with the goal of enabling the Company to benefit from other avenues of commercialization that may be viable before FDA approval or Canadian drug product marketing authorization. These avenues include, but are not limited to, licensing agreements with other corporate entities, compassionate use exemptions, and sales in other jurisdictions with separate regulatory controls.
Filament has licensed its technology relating to the production of its PEX010 (oral psilocybin) drug candidate to Cybin Therapeutics (“Cybin Therapeutics”), ATMA Journey Centers (“ATMA”), Psyence Biomed Corp (“Psyence”), NeoLumina Bioscience Inc (“NeoLumina”) and Reset Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Reset Pharmaceuticals”), which have generated revenues of over CAD$700,000 as of September 30, 2023. Licensing the PEX010 drug candidate allows counterparties to take advantage of the natural extraction, purification, and standardization processes that are encompassed within Filament’s intellectual property portfolio. In addition, supplying third-party companies with Filament’s drug candidates provides the Company with exposure to multiple indications, and creates the potential to generate revenues from future operating milestones and royalty fees upon successful commercialization.
Filament also leverages partnerships with academic researchers and institutions to accumulate safety and efficacy data for its drug candidates. This data is used in Filament’s internal drug development program in exchange for supply of naturally derived psychedelic drug products. Additionally, Filament obtains an advanced data preview of the trial results, which provides Filament with clinical data in non-core indications. Filament views these agreements as an effective pipeline into other indications, which Filament may choose to develop further in the future.
As of November 13, 2023, Filament has agreements for clinical trials of Filament’s leading drug candidate, PEX010 (1 mg, 5 mg, and 25 mg), in clinical trials in Canada, the United States, and Europe. These clinical trials have been authorized, as indicated in the table below. Indications under examination by these partners include depression and treatment-resistant depression, alcohol use disorder, MAUD, chronic pain, mild cognitive impairment, and existential crisis. Filament retains the safety data from academic trials, which enhances Filament’s in-house research and discovery programs.
Health Canada restored access to certain restricted drugs including psilocybin through the Special Access Program (“SAP”) on January 5, 2022. Since 2013, Canadians have been unable to access certain restricted drugs such as psilocybin and psilocin through the SAP. The SAP allows health care practitioners to request for patients, on an emergency basis, access to drugs that are not yet approved in Canada. Filament’s wholly owned subsidiary Psilo Scientific Ltd. is included in Health Canada’s list of licensed psilocybin producers, which is available upon request to parties interested in access to psilocybin through the SAP or for scientific research. On June 16, 2022, Filament announced that a patient was dosed with one of Filament’s drug candidates through the SAP, making the Company one of the first to provide psilocybin through the program.
Research and Development
Psilo’s core technologies are focused on: (i) methods and systems for extracting psychoactive components from fungi; (ii) stabilization and formulation of psychoactive alkaloid compounds (both fungal and non-fungal derived); and (iii) delivery of alkaloid compounds (both fungal and non-fungal derived). All of these technologies are involved in some aspects of drug candidates used in Filament’s clinical trials.
Unlike the vast number of synthetic manufacturing methods, there are a limited number of feasible ways to extract and purify naturally occurring psychedelic compounds. Filament’s intellectual property portfolio, which includes twenty-three (23) granted patents and forty-five (45) pending patent filings, is focused on the limited number of known viable extraction and purification methods that exist, as well as specific standardization processes and compositions of matter.
Filament’s GMP facility, Health Canada Dealer’s License and manufacturing capabilities enable the Company to complete research and development within propagation, extraction, purification, standardization, stabilization, and human delivery methods, which support its intellectual property portfolio. Filament’s vertically integrated manufacturing also provides the ability to supply in-house human clinical trials as well as license technology to drug developers, researchers, and other licensed parties.
Filament also has multiple ongoing research programs focused on psychedelic mushroom cultivation and the standardization of additional psychoactive plants.
Drug Candidates
Filament’s first three botanical drug candidates are standardized, purified extracts of psilocybe cubensis fruiting bodies include:
| ● | PEX010 Psilocybin - oral delivery (1mg and 25mg) |
| ● | PEX020 Psilocin - oral delivery (dose withheld) |
| ● | PEX030 Psilocin - sublingual delivery (dose withheld) |
PEX010, PEX020 and PEX030 have successfully attained US Food and Drug Administration Botanical Drug classification, a unique development pathway in comparison to isolated natural and synthetic compounds. Filament’s PEX010 drug candidate has obtained approval to be administered in clinical trials in Canada, the USA, the United Kingdom and the European Union from Health Canada, the FDA, and other governing bodies.
Filament has also developed the following standardized drug candidates which are in preclinical stage:
| ● | AEX010 Ayahuasca - oral delivery (dose withheld) |
| ● | AEX020 Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor - oral delivery (dose withheld) |
Filament does not currently market or sell any products for medical or recreational use. However, Filament has executed multiple agreements and has an active partnership network pipeline of parties relating to the licensing of intellectual property related to the production of extracts for clinical trial drug candidates. Filament is actively marketing manufacturing and intellectual property capabilities to third-party drug developers.
Internal Clinical Trials
Filament has manufactured standardized, stable oral psilocin, sublingual psilocin and oral psilocybin drug candidates that have been authorized by the FDA and are currently being dosed in a Phase I human clinical trial. Filament partnered with the Translational Psychedelic Research (“TrPR”) Program at the University of California, San Francisco (“UCSF”) to progress its US FDA clinical trials. Filament’s research and development program has developed IP-protected botanical drug candidates of oral psilocin, sublingual psilocin and oral psilocybin.
| 1. | FDA Authorized Phase I Trial - First-ever known direct administration of psilocin and first-ever clinical trial using naturally sourced psychedelic substances: |
| ○ | Design - Designed to include 20 healthy subjects to examine the effects of proprietary botanical drug candidates: PEX010 (oral psilocybin), PEX020 (oral psilocin), and PEX030 (sublingual psilocin); |
| ○ | Timeline - First dosing occurred July 2022; |
| ○ | Intention - Compare the direct administration of psilocin to psilocybin to identify whether psilocin yields therapeutic benefits such as faster onset time, greater consistency, increased bioavailability, and lessened side effects; and |
| ○ | First to Market - To date, synthetic manufacturers have been unable to produce a stable formulation of psilocin and enter it into a clinical trial. |
| 2. | Phase II Trial in Methamphetamine Use Disorder (PEX010) - on August 23, 2022, an IND that was opened 30 days later for a Phase 2 clinical trial studying the effect of Filament’s PEX010 product, standardized in psilocybin, for the treatment of methamphetamine use disorder (“MAUD”). MAUD is a growing public health emergency that is associated with serious health consequences. In the United States, the prevalence and mortality of MAUD has doubled over the past decade, but available treatments have limited efficacy. The goal of this trial will be to determine the safety, tolerability, and feasibility of psilocybin therapy for people living with MAUD. |
| 3. | Phase II Opioid Use Disorder Trial (PEX010) - The trial has been authorized by Health Canada and will study the effects of PEX010 for the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD). Dr. Christian Schütz, Professor of Psychiatry at UBC, will be the principal investigator for the trial, which will assess the safety and feasibility of delivering psilocybin in the treatment of OUD, and evaluate potential changes in participants’ opioid use. |

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company’s financial success is reliant on management’s ability to identify and evaluate suitable growth and acquisition opportunities and maximizing the potential of these opportunities. In order to fund future growth opportunities and to corporate overhead, the Company may seek additional financing through debt or equity offerings. Any equity offering will result in dilution to the ownership interests of the Company’s shareholders and may result in dilution to the value of such interests.
As at September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company has a working capital balance of $2,341,912 and $2,755,619, respectively. The decrease in working capital is attributable to the Company using funds in operations as the Company completed a private placement in the 2023 for $2,500,000 and also completed a private placement and convertible debenture financing for aggregate proceeds of $2,500,000 in 2022. The Company has no commitments for capital expenditures.
Cash and Financial Conditions
As at September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company has cash and cash equivalents of $2,202,840 and $2,846,740, respectively. The Company does not have any unused lines of credit or other arrangements in place to borrow funds and has no off-balance sheet arrangements. The Company does not use hedges or other financial derivatives.
Lease Outstanding
On June 11, 2020, Psilo entered into a three-year lease agreement for the Facility beginning on August 1, 2020. Under the terms of the agreement, Psilo currently pays $13,687 (plus tax) per month in gross rent. The initial term of the sub-lease agreement is three years and expiring on July 31, 2023. The Facility conforms to Health Canada’s Directive on Physical Security Requirements for Controlled Substances and Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”). On July 20, 2021, Psilo entered into a lease extension agreement to extend the lease for an additional three years, until July 31, 2026.
Assuming operating expenses and property taxes charged to Filament are consistent, monthly payments for the extended three (3) year lease term are anticipated to be approximately $15,110 per month compared to $13,687 per month under the current term. In addition to a $27,633 security deposit as of September 30, 2021, the Company agreed to deposit an additional $18,910 to be held by the landlord as a security deposit as of September 30, 2023.
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments based on the funds available to the Company. The Company’s objectives when managing its capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to support ongoing initiatives, to provide sufficient working capital to meet its ongoing obligations and to pursue potential acquisitions.
The Company is largely dependent upon external financings to fund its operations. In order to carry out any planned business transaction, and to continue to support the general administrative activities, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional funds as needed. Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the period ended September 30, 2023.
The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. The Company has not paid or declared any dividends since the date of incorporation, nor are any contemplated in the foreseeable future.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company has not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements.
PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions are disclosed in Note 4 of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair value
Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the statement of financial position are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
| Level 1 - | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
| | |
| Level 2 - | Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (i.e.: as prices) or indirectly (i.e.: derived from prices); and |
| | |
| Level 3 - | Valuation techniques using inputs that are not based on observable market data. |
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents are measured using Level 1 inputs. The Company determined that the carrying values of its other short-term financial assets and liabilities approximate the corresponding fair values because of the relatively short periods to maturity and limited credit risk.
Financial risk factors
The Company’s risk exposures and the impact on the Company’s financial statements are summarized below:
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company’s cash and trade receivables. The carrying amount of these financial assets represent the maximum credit exposure. Filament holds cash at a major Canadian financial institution, and management believes the exposure to credit risk with respect to these institutions is not significant.
Expected credit loss (“ECL”) analysis is performed at each reporting date using an objective approach to measure expected credit losses on its accounts receivable. The provision amounts are based on direct management interactions with the customer. The calculations reflect the probability-weighted outcome, the time value of money, and reasonable and supportable information that is available at the reporting date about past events, current conditions, and forecast of future economic conditions. Accounts receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, but are not limited to, business failure, failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan, and a failure to make contractual payments.
As at September 30, 2023, receivables are comprised of $318,731 (December 31, 2022 - $55,757) in trade receivables and the remainder arise from taxes receivable. The Company’s aging of receivables is below:
| | September 30, 2023 | | | December 31, 2022 | |
0 – 30 days | | $ | 289,224 | | | $ | 26,250 | |
91+ days | | | 29,507 | | | | 29,507 | |
Total trade receivables | | $ | 318,731 | | | $ | 55,757 | |
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will be unable to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s objective to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it has sufficient liquidity available to meet its liabilities when due. The accounts payable are typically due in 30 days, which are settled using cash. As at September 30, 2023, the Company has a working capital of $2,341,912.
At present, the Company’s operations do not generate positive cash flow. The Company’s primary source of funding has been the issuance of equity securities. Despite previous success in acquiring financing, there is no guarantee of obtaining future financings.
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign currency rates. As at September 30, 2023, the Company did not hold any foreign currency and was not subject to foreign currency risk.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 9, 2023, 70,000 RSUs granted to an employee on May 19, 2023 were terminated.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Filament Health Corp. (“Filament” or the “Company”) was incorporated pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) on June 8, 2020. The Company is a public company with its registered and records office at the address of 210 – 4475 Wayburne Drive, Burnaby, British Columbia, V5G 4X4. The Company’s common shares are listed for trading on the NEO Exchange (“NEO”) under the symbol “NEO:FH”, the OTCQB Exchange under the symbol “OTCQB:FLHLF” and the Frankfurt Exchange under the symbol “FSE:7QS”.
Filament Health is a clinical-stage natural psychedelic drug development company. We believe that safe, standardized, naturally-derived psychedelic medicines can improve the lives of many, and our mission is to see them in the hands of everyone who needs them as soon as possible. Filament’s proprietary intellectual property enables the discovery, development, and delivery of natural psychedelic medicines for clinical development.
On July 18, 2023, the Company entered into a definitive agreement for a proposed business combination with Jupiter Acquisition Corporation to create a new public holding Company that is expected to be listed on NASDAQ.
Going Concern
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared with the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business and continue operating as a going concern. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments to amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue operations.
Although these condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, there are material uncertainties regarding the Company’s ability to execute its business plan and continue in the normal course of operations which may be dependent upon its ability to obtain additional financing. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful. As at September 30, 2023, the Company has not yet achieved profitable operations, has negative cash flows from operations, and has an accumulated deficit of $29,915,630. These material uncertainties cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and ultimately on the appropriateness of the use of the accounting principles applicable to a going concern. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments to amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue operations.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
a. | Statement of compliance |
The Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements, including comparatives, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), Interpretations Issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”), and in accordance with International Account Standard (“IAS”) 34, Interim Financial Reporting.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Audit Committee and approved and authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on November 14, 2023.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments that have been measured at fair value through profit and loss which are stated at their fair value. In addition, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting, except for cash flow information. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary at the end of the reporting period:
| | Incorporated | | Nature | | Ownership September 30, 2023 | | | Ownership December 31, 2022 | |
Psilo Scientific Ltd. | | British Columbia | | Research and development | | | 100 | % | | | 100 | % |
The results of the wholly owned subsidiary will continue to be included in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company until the date that the Company’s control over the subsidiary ceases. Control exists when the Company has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity to obtain benefits from its activities. Intercompany balances and transactions, including unrealized income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions, are eliminated on consolidation.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS AND POLICIES
The preparation of financial data is based on accounting principles and practices consistent with those used in the preparation of the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. The accompanying unaudited condensed interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company added to its significant accounting policies compared to those disclosed in the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 as follows:
Equity accounted investments
Equity accounted investments are those entities in which the Company has significant influence but does not have control over the financial and operating policies of the investees. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Company holds between 20 percent and 50 percent of the voting power of another entity. Joint arrangement entities are those over which the Company has joint control, established by contractual agreement and requiring unanimous consent for strategic, financial, and operating decisions. Joint ventures are joint arrangements whereby the parties have joint control of the arrangement and have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.
Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for by the equity method, whereby the original cost of the investment is adjusted for the Company’s share of earnings or losses less dividends since significant influence was acquired. When net accumulated losses from an equity accounted investment exceed its carrying amount, the investment balance is reduced to $NIL and additional losses are not provided for unless the Company is committed to provide other financial support to the investee. The Company resumes accounting for its portion of income (loss) of the investment when the entity subsequently reports net income and the Company’s share of that net income exceeds the share of net losses not recognized during the period the equity method was suspended.
Profits or losses resulting from transactions between the Company and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate. The Company determines at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that the investments in associates are impaired. The financial statements of associates are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company. Where necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies of associates in line with those of the Company.
On September 30, 2023, the Company accounts for the following entities using the equity method as the Company does not have control over these entities:
| | Incorporated | | Nature | | Ownership September 30, 2023 | | | Ownership December 31, 2022 | |
Magdalena Biosciences Inc. | | British Columbia | | Research and development | | | 40 | % | | | - | |
4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS
The preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and other financial figures. Estimates are based on management’s experience, professional judgement, and other factors. Actual results may differ from those estimates which could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
Critical accounting estimates
Estimated useful lives and depreciation of property, plant, and equipment
Depreciation of property and equipment is dependent upon estimates of useful lives, which are determined through the exercise of professional judgment by management. The assessment of any impairment of these assets is dependent upon estimates of recoverable amounts that consider factors such as economic and market conditions and the useful lives of assets.
Impairment of license and goodwill
The determination of whether facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of intangible assets and goodwill may exceed their recoverable amount is an area of significant estimate. Determining if there are any facts and circumstances indicating impairment loss or reversal of impairment losses is a subjective process involving judgment, estimates, and interpretations. Determining the recoverable amount of the individual asset or the cash generating unit is subject to estimates and judgments. These estimates and judgments are inherently subjective given the Company’s stage of operations with no revenue producing history.
Share-based compensation
The fair value of common share purchase options and warrants are determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The model includes six key inputs that involve considerable judgment and could be affected by significant factors that are out of the Company’s control.
Critical accounting judgments
Going concern
In the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, management makes judgments of whether the Company can continue as a going concern and whether the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate, as disclosed in Note 1.
Impairment of property, plant, and equipment
The evaluation if an impairment test in accordance with IAS 36 needs to be performed on the Company’s long-term assets requires judgment in determining whether it is likely that future economic benefits will be achieved, which may be based on assumptions about future events or circumstances. After an expenditure is capitalized, if information becomes available suggesting that the recovery of the expenditure is unlikely, the amount capitalized is written down in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss in the period where this information becomes available.
Impairment of license and goodwill
The evaluation if an impairment test in accordance with IAS 36 needs to be performed on the Company’s intangible assets (license) and goodwill requires judgment in determining whether it is likely that future economic benefits will be achieved. The Company prepares an impairment assessment on its intangible assets and goodwill at least annually. See Note 8 for additional details.
Valuation of investment in joint venture
The valuation of the investment in an associate or joint venture is measured based on the costs incurred or amount invested into the associate or joint venture. In formation of the joint venture, the Company contributed access and rights to its operating license for use by the joint venture and was valued in accordance with IFRS 2, Share-based Payments that required judgement in determining the fair value of licensing rights using the fair value of common shares of Magdalena.
5. JOINT VENTURE
On January 9, 2023, the Company entered a transaction to form a joint venture to create Magdalena Biosciences Inc. (“Magdalena”), a development company specializing in novel, natural prescription medicines derived from plants for mental health indications, with Jaguar Health Inc. (“Jaguar”) and One Small Plant Capital LLC (“One Small Plant”). Magdalena will leverage the asset portfolio of both Jaguar and Filament to develop a potential plant-based alternative drug for adult ADHD that is safe and efficacious. Jaguar has a library of 2,300 highly characterized plants and 3,500 plant extracts from firsthand ethnobotanical investigations whereby an exclusive license is provided to Magdalena. Similarly, Filament has provided Magdalena with its license for use of its proprietary drug candidates and will provide its expertise, technologies, and license facility to identify and standardize a new botanical drug to address indications such as ADHD. Initial funding of US $1,000,000 will be provided by One Small Plant for the purchase of 2,000,000 common shares of Magdalena at a price of $0.50 per share.
The joint venture was formed with Filament owning 40%, Jaguar owning 40%, and One Small Plant owning 20% of the new entity. No cash consideration was paid upon incorporation of the entity by the Company.
The Company recognized its investment in Magdalena in accordance with IAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, based on the its share of the net identifiable assets of Magdalena of $1,578,961 in exchange for the provision of the rights to utilize the Company’s Health Canada license and to access its intellectual property portfolio. These amounts have been recognized as deferred revenue on the statements of financial position. Deferred revenue will be recognized as revenue upon fulfilment of research milestones by Magdalena.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized its share of the profit and loss of Magdalena as follows:
| | September 30, 2023 | |
EXPENSES | | | |
General and administrative and foreign currency translation | | $ | 17,727 | |

6. PROPOSED TRANSACTION
On July 18, 2023, Filament Health Corp. entered into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with 142 BC Ltd. (“142 BC”), the Merger Sub (together with 142 BC, the “Merger Subsidiaries”), and Jupiter Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Jupiter”). Two Business Days prior to the date of the Closing (the “Closing Date”), Jupiter will merge with and into Merger Sub (the “Merger”), with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving company after the Merger (the “Surviving Company”) and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of 142 BC.
As a result of the Merger, (a) each issued and outstanding share of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share of Jupiter (“Jupiter Common Stock”) will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be converted into and exchanged for the right to receive one 142 BC Common Share, (b) each issued and outstanding Jupiter warrant (“Jupiter Warrant”) will no longer be outstanding and will be automatically converted into and become one 142 BC Warrant to purchase 142 BC Common Shares, and all rights with respect to shares of Jupiter Common Stock underlying such Jupiter Warrants will be automatically converted into fights with respect to 142 BC Common Shares, in each case, with 142 BC issuing a number of 142 BC Common Shares and 142 BC Warrants in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and (c) the one issued and outstanding unit of limited liability company membership interest in the Surviving Company and (ii) the Surviving Company will issue in favor of 142 BC a promissory note in an amount equal to the fair market value of the Merger Sub Unit held by 142 BC immediately before the Merger. At least one Business Day following the Merger, 142 BC will form a new British Columbia corporation (“AmalCo Sub”), which will be a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of 142 BC, with AmalCo Sub issuing a single common share to 142 BC. On the Closing Date and pursuant to a statutory plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “Plan of Arrangement”) (a) the outstanding convertible debentures of Filament will convert into common shares of Filament (“Filament Common Shares”) in accordance with their terms, as amended, (b) the notice of articles and articles of 142 BC will be amended and restated to, among other matters, create Class B non-voting common shares of 142 BC (the “142 BC Class B Earnout Shares”) and Class C non-voting common shares of 142 BC (the “142 BC Class C Earnout Shares” and together with the 142 BC Class B Earnout Shares, the “Filament Earnout Shares”), (c) Filament and AmalCo Sub will amalgamate to form a new British Columbia Corporation (“AmalCo”, and such transaction the “Amalgamation”), (d) Filament shareholders will exchange all of the issued and outstanding Filament Common Shares for the newly issued 142 BC Common Shares, 142 BC Class B Earnout Shares and 142 BC Class C Earnout Shares, (e) 142 BC will exchange its single common share of AmalCo Sub for a single common share of AmalCo, (f) holders of Filament warrants, RSUs and options will receive, as applicable, Rollover Warrants, Adjusted RSUs or Rollover Options, in each case entitling the holders thereof to acquire 142 BC Common Shares upon exercise or settlement of such Rollover Warrants, Adjusted RSUs or Rollover Options; (g) 142 BC will repurchase for cancellation the single common share issued to the incorporator of 142 BC on incorporation; and (h) after giving effect to the Amalgamation, AmalCo will become a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of 142 BC.
Neither the Business Combination nor the Merger have closed as of the date of these financial statements. The Business Combination is subject to, among other conditions, regulatory approval, board approval and shareholder approval.

8. RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS AND LEASE OBLIGATION
On June 11, 2020, the Psilo entered into a three-year lease agreement for a 3,416 square feet office and production facility beginning on August 1, 2020 (the “Original Lease”). On the commencement of the Original Lease, the Company paid a security deposit of $27,633 and prepaid $142,919 of rent that was capitalized to the right-of-use asset. On July 20, 2021, Psilo entered into a lease extension agreement to extend the lease for an additional three years, until July 31, 2026 (the “Lease Extension”). In accordance with the Lease Extension, the Company paid an additional security deposit of $18,910 for a total security deposit of $46,543. The right-of-use asset and lease obligation have revised as at August 1, 2021 to reflect this extension to remeasure the right-of-use asset and lease obligation.
As at September 30, 2023, the right-of-use (“RoU”) asset is calculated as follows:
Cost, December 31, 2021, 2022, and September 30, 2023 | | $ | 737,746 | |
| | | | |
Accumulated depreciation, December 31, 2021 | | | 114,121 | |
Depreciation expense | | | 136,064 | |
Accumulated depreciation, December 31, 2022 | | $ | 250,185 | |
Depreciation expense | | | 102,047 | |
Accumulated depreciation, September 30, 2023 | | $ | 352,232 | |
| | | | |
Net book value, December 31, 2022 | | $ | 487,561 | |
Net book value, September 30, 2023 | | $ | 385,514 | |
The lease obligation was measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, which is comprised of both lease and non-lease components, with a three-year lease term and discounted using the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate of 10% per annum. Upon execution of the Lease Extension on July 20, 2021, and effective August 1, 2021, the lease obligation was revised to reflect the increased lease term. As at September 30, 2023, the remaining lease term is approximately 3.34 years.
On June 11, 2020, the Company prepaid $142,919 of rent that was applied to the first year of the Original Lease and the Company began making lease payments on June 1, 2021. As at September 30, 2023, the lease obligation is calculated as follows:

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company provided a loan in three payment instalments for an aggregate of $89,153 to Filament Foundation, which is a charitable foundation that pursues initiatives that progress the psychedelics ecosystem by raising awareness for psychedelic related medical breakthroughs, rallying government oversight and amendments, and supporting companies in the psychedelic industry.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company provided an additional loan for $38,701.
The loans are unsecured, non-interest bearing, and are due upon demand. As at September 30, 2023, the loan receivable balance is equal to $Nil (December 31, 2022 - $Nil) and the Company recognized a bad debt expense of $Nil (December 31, 2022 - $127,854). Due to uncertainty regarding Filament Foundations ability to generate funds and repay the loan, the Company recognized a loss allowance equal to the lifetime expected credit losses of $127,854.
11. CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURE
On July 13, 2022, the Company entered into a convertible debenture agreement 1,250 convertible debenture units (“CD Unit”) at a price of $1,000 per CD Unit for proceeds of $1,250,000 that matures on July 13, 2024. The CD Unit is convertible into common shares of the Company at a price of $0.15 per common share. Each CD Unit can be converted into 6,667 common shares and 6,667 warrants, with each warrant exercisable at a price of $0.30 per share for a period of three years from the date of issuance. The conversion feature can be exercised by the loan holder on or before July 13, 2024. If the Company is in default of payments pursuant to the agreement, any outstanding principal will accrue interest at a rate of 10% per annum, compounding monthly.
As a result of the transaction, the Company issued 8,333,333 warrants with a fair value of $395,000, with an exercise price of $0.30 that expire on July 13, 2025. The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model using the following assumptions: Risk free rate of 3.25%; Volatility of 100%; Stock Price of $0.11; Exercise price of $0.30; Dividend yield of NIL% and expected life of 3 years. The Company recognized these warrants as transaction costs and allocated on a pro-rata basis to the debt component and equity component.
The loan’s embedded conversion feature was determined to meet the definition of a compound financial instrument and the Company has assigned a fair value to the debt and any residual amounts are recorded as equity. The fair value of the conversion feature was determined to be $381,944 and was recorded in contributed surplus on the statement of financial position. Accordingly, the fair value of the debt component was recognized at $868,056. The total transaction cost was allocated to the debt component and the equity component of the convertible debenture on a pro-rata basis of $274,306 and $120,694, accordingly.
The Company recognized a deferred income tax (“DIT”) recovery on the equity component of the convertible loan of $70,538 in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss. The deferred tax liability resulted from the bifurcation of the equity component from the liability component. As the Company had sufficient deferred tax assets to offset the deferred tax liability, the deferred tax liability was reduced to $Nil and recognized as a recovery.
The borrowing amount of the convertible loan represents the debt element of the loan, without the conversion feature, recorded at its amortized cost as at September 30, 2023 using an effective interest rate of 20%.
The following table represents a summary of the Company’s debt and equity components of its convertible debenture:

Financial instruments recorded at fair value on the statement of financial position are classified using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly (i.e.: as prices) or indirectly (i.e.: derived from prices); and
Level 3 - Valuation techniques using inputs that are not based on observable market data.
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents are measured using Level 1 inputs. The Company determined that the carrying values of its other short-term financial assets and liabilities approximate the corresponding fair values because of the relatively short periods to maturity and limited credit risk. The fair value of the Company’s convertible debenture and lease obligation are recognized at their present value and have been discounted over their terms using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate upon recognition.
There were no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy during the year.

Financial risk factors
The Company’s risk exposures and impact on the Company’s financial statements are summarized below:
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company’s cash and receivables. The carrying amount of these financial assets represent the maximum credit exposure. Filament holds cash at a major Canadian financial institution, and management believes the exposure to credit risk with respect to these institutions is not significant.
Expected credit loss (“ECL”) analysis is performed at each reporting date using an objective approach to measure expected credit losses on its accounts receivable. The provision amounts are based on direct management interactions with the customer. The calculations reflect the probability-weighted outcome, the time value of money, and reasonable and supportable information that is available at the reporting date about past events, current conditions, and forecast of future economic conditions. Accounts receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, but are not limited to, business failure, failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan, and a failure to make contractual payments.
As at September 30, 2023, receivables are comprised of $318,731 (December 31, 2022 - $55,757) in trade receivables and the remainder arise from taxes receivable. The Company’s aging of receivables is below:
| | September 30, 2023 | | | December 31, 2022 | |
0 – 30 days | | $ | 289,224 | | | $ | 26,250 | |
91+ days | | | 29,507 | | | | 29,507 | |
Total trade receivables | | $ | 318,731 | | | $ | 55,757 | |
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will be unable to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company’s objective to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it has sufficient liquidity available to meet its liabilities when due. The accounts payable are typically due in 30 days, which are settled using cash. As at September 30, 2023, the Company has a working capital of $2,341,912.
At present, the Company’s operations do not generate positive cash flow. The Company’s primary source of funding has been the issuance of equity securities. Despite previous success in acquiring financing, there is no guarantee of obtaining future financings.
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in foreign currency rates. As at September 30, 2023, the Company did not hold any foreign currency and was not subject to foreign currency risk.
17. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company manages its capital structure, inclusive of shareholders’ equity and cash, and makes adjustments based on the funds available to the Company. The Company’s objectives when managing its capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to support ongoing initiatives, to provide sufficient working capital to meet its ongoing obligations and to pursue potential acquisitions.
The Company is largely dependent upon external financings to fund its operations. In order to carry out any planned business transaction, and to continue to support the general administrative activities, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional funds as needed.
Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the period ended September 30, 2023.
The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements. The Company has not paid or declared any dividends since the date of incorporation, nor are any contemplated in the foreseeable future.
18. COMMITMENTS
The Company had entered into agreements with officers that include termination and change of control clauses. In the case of termination and change of control, the officers are entitled to certain amounts payable.
As at September 30, 2023, the Company had two of these types of agreements with officers of the Company that totaled annual base fees of $325,000. In the case of termination, the officers are entitled to an amount equal to $312,163 and a bonus payment based on the average of historical bonus payments made over the last two years. In the case of a change of control, the officers are entitled to an amount equal to $393,413 and a bonus payment based on the average of historical bonus payments over the last two years. In the case of either termination or change of control, any unvested stock options issued to the officers will vest and become exercisable.
19. RECLASSIFICATION OF PRIOR YEAR COMPARATIVES
Certain comparative period balances have been reclassified to conform with current year classification. In the statements of loss and comprehensive loss, share-based compensation has been reclassified to the underlying account to which the compensation was incurred, professional and consulting fees and wages and benefits.
20. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 9, 2023, 70,000 RSUs granted to an employee on May 19, 2023 were terminated.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2023
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND GOING CONCERN
Jupiter Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated in Delaware on June 17, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”).
The Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage and emerging growth companies.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from June 17, 2020 (inception) through September 30, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below, and, subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the marketable securities held in the Trust Account (defined below).
The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on August 12, 2021. On August 17, 2021, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 15,000,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the shares of Class A common stock included in the Units sold, the “Public Shares”) at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $150,000,000 which is described in Note 3.
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 580,000 units (the “Private Placement Units”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement to Jupiter Founders LLC (the “Sponsor”) and certain of the underwriters and certain of the underwriters’ employees, generating gross proceeds of $5,800,000, which is described in Note 4.
On August 23, 2021, the underwriters notified the Company of their exercise of the over-allotment option in part and concurrent forfeiture of the remaining portion of such option. As such, on August 25, 2021, the underwriters purchased 761,850 additional Units at $10.00 per additional Unit upon the closing of the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, generating gross proceeds of $7,618,500. Simultaneously with the sale of the additional Units, the Company consummated the sale of an additional 15,237 Private Placement Units at $10.00 per additional Private Placement Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $152,370.
Transaction costs amounted to $9,292,595, consisting of $3,152,370 of underwriting fees, net of reimbursement, $5,516,648 of deferred underwriting fees and $623,577 of other offering costs.
On March 31, 2023, Nomura Securities International, Inc. (“Nomura”), an underwriter of the Initial Public Offering, agreed to waive its entitlement to the deferred underwriting commissions of $4,046,657 owed or payable to Nomura pursuant to the underwriting agreement for the Initial Public Offering (the “Underwriting Agreement”). As a result, the Company recognized $245,002 of other income attributable to the derecognition of deferred underwriting fees allocated to offering costs and $3,801,655 was recorded to additional paid-in capital in relation to the waiver of the deferred underwriting discount in the accompanying financial statements (see Note 6).
On April 12, 2023, Brookline Capital Markets, a division of Arcadia Securities, LLC (“Brookline”) and Ladenburg Thalmann & Co. Inc. (“Ladenburg”), constituting all of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering (other than Nomura), notified the Company pursuant to a letter dated as of April 6, 2023, that each of Brookline and Ladenburg agreed to waive its entitlement to the cash payment of deferred underwriting commissions owed or payable pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and will each accept 150,000 common shares, totaling an aggregate of 300,000 common shares, which is approximately $4.90 per share, of the surviving company of the Company’s initial Business Combination in full satisfaction of the aggregate $1,469,991 that would be payable to such underwriters upon the closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement.
Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on August 17, 2021, an amount of $150,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units was placed in a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s Public Stockholders (as defined below) (the “Trust Account”), with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee (“Continental”), and was invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act that invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s stockholders, as described below.

A total of $7,618,500 of the net proceeds from the sale of the additional Units and the additional Private Placement Units was deposited in the Trust Account, bringing the aggregate proceeds held in the Trust Account to $157,618,500.
In connection with the implementation of the Extension (as defined below) on April 20, 2023, as previously approved by the Company’s stockholders on April 18, 2023, the Company redeemed 14,286,357 shares of Class A common stock tendered for redemption by the Public Stockholders, at a redemption price of approximately $10.16 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $145.2 million.
The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering, including the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, and sale of the Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. The Company must complete its initial Business Combination with one or more operating businesses with an aggregate fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.
The Company will provide the holders of the outstanding Public Shares (the “Public Stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company. The Public Stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially $10.00 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). The per-share amount to be distributed to the Public Stockholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company may pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Notes 6 and 10). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants.
The Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or other reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor and other holders of the Company’s common stock prior to the Initial Public Offering (the “Initial Stockholders”) have agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5), Private Shares (as defined in Note 4) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination. Additionally, each Public Stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction.
Notwithstanding the above, if the Company seeks stockholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Certificate of Incorporation provides that a Public Stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares, without the prior consent of the Company.
The Initial Stockholders have agreed (a) to waive their redemption rights with respect to the Founder Shares, Private Shares and Public Shares held by them in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the Company’s initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period (as defined below) or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

On April 18, 2023, the Company held a special meeting in lieu of the 2023 annual meeting of stockholders of the Company (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved, among other matters, (i) an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial Business Combination (the “Extension”) from August 17, 2023 to December 17, 2023, or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s board of directors (such applicable date, the “Extended Date”, and such amendment, the “Charter Amendment”), and (ii) an amendment to the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of August 12, 2021, by and between the Company and Continental, to provide for the Extension to the Extended Date pursuant to the Charter Amendment (the “Trust Amendment”).
Following the Special Meeting, on April 20, 2023, the Company filed the Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in order to implement the Extension and entered into the Trust Amendment with Continental.
In connection with the implementation of the Extension, (i) on April 20, 2023, all holders of Class B common stock voluntarily elected to convert all shares of Class B common stock to shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation (collectively, the “Class B Conversion”), and (ii) the Company redeemed 14,286,357 shares of Class A common stock tendered for redemption by the Public Stockholders, at a redemption price of approximately $10.16 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $145.2 million (the “Redemption”). Upon completion of the Class B Conversion and the Redemption, 6,011,192 shares of Class A common stock and no shares of Class B common stock remain issued and outstanding.
In connection with the implementation of the Extension, the Company will have until December 17, 2023, or such earlier date as determined by the Company’s board of directors, to consummate a Business Combination (the “Combination Period”). If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period.
The Initial Stockholders have agreed to waive their right to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares and Private Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Initial Stockholders acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commissions (see Notes 6 and 10) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($10.00).
In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to monies held in the Trust Account nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except for the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses and other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.
Liquidity and Going Concern
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $185,312 in its operating bank account and a working capital deficit of $1,731,225.
As of September 30, 2023, $551,066 of the amount on deposit in the Trust Account represented interest income, which is available to pay the Company’s tax obligations. As of September 30, 2023, the Company withdrew an amount of $1,613,646 in the interest income from the Trust Account to pay tax obligations.

Until the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company will be using the funds not held in the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.
The Company may need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, stockholders, officers, directors, or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors and Sponsor, or their affiliates, may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company additional funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain such additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by December 17, 2023, then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating.
In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern,” the Company has until December 17, 2023 to consummate a Business Combination or effect an extension. It is uncertain that the Company will be able to consummate a Business Combination or effect an extension by this time. If a Business Combination is not consummated by this date and an extension has not been approved by the Company’s stockholders and effected, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution of the Company. Management has determined that the liquidity condition and the mandatory liquidation, should a Business Combination not occur and an extension not be approved by the Company’s stockholders and effected, and potential subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after December 17, 2023. The Company intends to complete a proposed Business Combination before December 17, 2023. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate any Business Combination by such date. In addition, the Company may need to raise additional capital through loans or additional investments from its Sponsor, stockholders, officers, directors or third parties. The Company’s officers, directors and Sponsor may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable in their sole discretion, to meet the Company’s working capital needs. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to obtain additional financing. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, the Company may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of a potential transaction, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern through December 17, 2023.
Risks and Uncertainties
Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations, and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of the condensed financial statements. The condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
In February 2022, the Russian Federation and Belarus commenced a military action with the country of Ukraine. As a result of this action, various nations, including the United States, have instituted economic sanctions against the Russian Federation and Belarus. Further, the impact of this action and related sanctions on the world economy are not determinable as of the date of these condensed financial statements and the specific impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is also not determinable as of the date of these condensed financial statements.
The funds in the Trust Account are invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds that meet certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act and that invest only in direct U.S. government obligations. While short-term U.S. government treasury bills currently yield a positive rate of interest, they have briefly yielded negative interest rates in recent years. Central banks in Europe and Japan pursued interest rates below zero in recent years, and the Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve has not ruled out the possibility that it may in the future adopt similar policies in the United States. In the event that the Company is unable to complete its initial Business Combination or makes certain amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation, the Public Stockholders are entitled to receive their pro-rata share of the proceeds held in the Trust Account, plus any interest income not released to the Company, net of taxes payable. Negative interest rates could impact the per share redemption amount that may be received by Public Stockholders.

Consideration of Inflation Reduction Act Excise Tax
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax.
Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote (including in connection with the Extension) or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Business Combination, extension vote (including in connection with the Extension) or otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Business Combination, extension or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a Business Combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with a Business Combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a Business Combination but issued within the same taxable year of a Business Combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a Business Combination and in the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination.
On April 20, 2023, the Company redeemed 14,286,357 shares of Class A common stock tendered for redemption by the Public Stockholders for a total redemption amount of $145,181,467 in connection with the implementation of the Extension. The Company evaluated the classification and accounting of the stock redemption under ASC 450, “Contingencies” to determine whether the Company should currently recognize an excise tax obligation associated therewith. ASC 450 states that when a loss contingency exists the likelihood that the future event(s) will confirm the loss or impairment of an asset, or the incurrence of a liability can range from probable to remote. Contingent liability must be reviewed at each reporting period to determine appropriate treatment. The Company evaluated whether a United States excise tax obligation should be recognized currently related to the stock redemption and concluded that this obligation should be recognized. As of September 30, 2023, the Company recorded $1,451,815 of excise tax liability calculated as 1% of shares redeemed on April 20, 2023. Any reduction to this liability resulting from either a subsequent stock issuance or an event giving rise to an exception that occurs within this tax year, will be recognized in the period (including an interim period) that such stock issuance or event giving rise to an exception occurs.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in condensed financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on March 10, 2023. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the period ending December 31, 2023 or for any future periods.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
JUPITER ACQUISITION CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s condensed financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods.
Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the condensed financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these condensed financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liabilities. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and, accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had cash of $185,312 and $324,188, respectively. The Company did not have any cash equivalents at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account
At September 30, 2023, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account were cash. At December 31, 2022, the assets held in the Trust Account were U.S. Treasury securities. From inception through September 30, 2023, the Company withdrew an amount of $1,613,646 in the interest income from the Trust Account to pay tax obligations.
Offering Costs
Offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, accounting and other expenses incurred through the condensed balance sheet date that are directly related to the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs are allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs allocated to derivative warrant liabilities are expensed as incurred in the statements of operations. Offering costs associated with the Class A common stock issued were initially charged to temporary equity and then accreted to common stock subject to redemption upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs amounted to $9,292,595, of which $8,938,077 were charged to stockholders’ equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering and $354,518 were expensed to the statements of operations.
Warrant Liabilities
The Company accounts for the Public Warrants (as defined in Note 3) and the Private Warrants (as defined in Note 4) (collectively, with the Public Warrants, the “Warrants”) in accordance with the guidance contained in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 and FASB ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”) under which the Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the Warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the Warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the statements of operations. On August 17, 2021 and subsequently on September 30, 2021, the Public Warrants were valued using a Monte Carlo Simulation model. The Private Warrants were valued using a Black Scholes model at December 31, 2021. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units including September 30, 2023, the close price of the Public Warrant price was used as the fair value as of each relevant date. In addition, as of September 30, 2023, the closing price of the Public Warrants was determined to be an appropriate estimate for the fair value of Private Warrants due to a make-whole provision in the contractual terms of the Warrant Agreement.

Income Taxes
The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement’s carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of September 30, 2023 and 2022. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.
Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption
The Company accounts for its Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Shares of Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 1,475,493 and 15,761,850 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, respectively, outside of the stockholders’ deficit section of the Company’s condensed balance sheets. On April 20, 2023, the Company redeemed 14,286,357 shares of Class A common stock tendered for redemption by the Public Stockholders for a total redemption amount of $145,181,467 in connection with the implementation of the Extension, which is described in Note 1.
The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of redeemable common stock to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Immediately upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable Class A common stock resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.

Net (Loss) Income per Common Share
The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net (loss) income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Remeasurement associated with the redeemable shares of Class A common stock is excluded from net (loss) income per common share as the redemption value approximates fair value.
The calculation of diluted (loss) income per share does not consider the effect of the Warrants issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering, and (ii) the private placement since the exercise of the Warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. The Warrants are exercisable to purchase 8,178,543 shares of Class A common stock in the aggregate. As of September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into common shares and then share in the net (loss) income of the Company. As a result, diluted net (loss) income per common share is the same as basic net (loss) income per common share for the periods presented.
The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net (loss) income per common share (in dollars, except per share amounts):

Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation coverage limit of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the condensed balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature, except for warrant liabilities (see Note 9).
Recent Accounting Standards
Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s condensed financial statements.

NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 15,761,850 Units at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit, including 761,850 additional Units pursuant to the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50, subject to adjustment (see Note 8).
NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT
Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the closing of the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, the Sponsor and certain of the underwriters and certain of the underwriters’ employees purchased an aggregate of 595,237 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit for an aggregate purchase price of $5,952,370 in private placements. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock (“Private Share”) and one-half of one warrant (each, a “Private Warrant”). Each whole Private Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. A portion of the proceeds from the Private Placement Units were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Units and all underlying securities will expire worthless. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Private Placement Units or the underlying securities.
NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Founder Shares
On July 7, 2020, the Initial Stockholders purchased 5,750,000 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate price of $25,000. On July 23, 2021, the Sponsor forfeited 1,437,500 Founder Shares resulting in an aggregate of 4,312,500 Founder Shares outstanding. The Sponsor agreed to transfer to certain of the underwriters and certain of their employees an aggregate of 240,001 shares of Class B common stock. All shares and per-share data has been retroactively restated. The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 562,500 Founder Shares that were subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part. On August 23, 2021, the underwriters notified the Company of their exercise of the over-allotment option in part and concurrent forfeiture of the remaining portion of such option. As such, on August 25, 2021, the underwriters purchased 761,850 additional Units at $10.00 per additional Unit upon the closing of the partial exercise of the over-allotment option. As a result of the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option and the forfeiture of the remaining portion of such over-allotment option, an aggregate of 372,038 Founder Shares were forfeited and 190,462 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture, resulting in an aggregate of 3,940,462 Founder Shares outstanding at August 25, 2021.
The Initial Stockholders have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination and (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the last reported sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after a Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Of the aggregate 15,761,850 Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, 13,365,000 Units were purchased by certain qualified institutional buyers or institutional accredited investors that are not affiliated with the Company, the Sponsor, the Company’s directors or any member of the Company’s management team (the “Anchor Investors”).
In connection with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Anchor Investors each acquired from the Sponsor an indirect economic interest in 100,000 Founder Shares (or an aggregate of 900,000 Founder Shares) at the original purchase price that the Sponsor paid for the Founder Shares. The Sponsor has agreed to distribute such Founder Shares to the Anchor Investors after the completion of a Business Combination. The Company estimated the aggregate fair value of the Founder Shares attributable to the Anchor Investors to be $4,464,000, or $4.96 per share. The fair value of the Founder Shares was valued using a binomial/lattice model. The excess of the fair value of the Founder Shares was determined to be an offering cost in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A. Accordingly, the offering cost was allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs related to the Founder Shares amounted to $4,464,000, of which $170,341 were expensed in the statements of operations and included in transactions costs attributable to warrant liabilities and the remaining $4,296,659 netted to additional paid in capital resulting in only a charge to accumulated deficit of $170,341.
On April 20, 2023, pursuant to the Class B Conversion, the Founder Shares were converted from shares of Class B common stock to shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation. At September 30, 2023, there were 6,011,192 and 0 shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock issued and outstanding, respectively.
Administrative Services Agreement
The Company entered into an agreement on August 12, 2021, through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and its liquidation, to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor an aggregate of $15,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company incurred and paid $45,000 and $135,000, respectively, in fees for these services. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company incurred and paid $45,000 and $135,000 in fees for these services, respectively.
Promissory Note — Related Party
On June 24, 2020, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note to the Sponsor (the “Promissory Note”), pursuant to which the Company could borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $250,000. The Promissory Note was subsequently amended on December 31, 2021 and 2020 to extend the maturity date. The Promissory Note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of (i) December 31, 2021 and (ii) the consummation of the Initial Public Offering. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no amounts outstanding under the Promissory Note. The outstanding balance under the Note was repaid at the closing of the Initial Public Offering on August 17, 2021, and the Promissory Note was terminated.
Related Party Loans
In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be converted into units at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. The units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no Working Capital Loans outstanding.

NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Registration Rights
Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on August 12, 2021, the holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Units, Private Shares, Private Warrants, and units that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Warrants and warrants included in the units that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) will be entitled to registration rights requiring the Company to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to the Company’s Class A common stock). The holders of the majority of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination and rights to require the Company to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the underwriters may not exercise their demand and “piggy-back” registration rights after August 12, 2026 and August 12, 2028, respectively, and may not exercise their demand rights on more than one occasion. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Underwriting Agreement
The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option beginning August 12, 2021 to purchase up to 2,250,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On August 23, 2021, the underwriters notified the Company of their exercise of the over-allotment option in part and concurrent forfeiture of the remaining portion of such option. As such, on August 25, 2021, the underwriters purchased 761,850 additional Units upon the closing of the partial exercise of the over-allotment option.
The underwriters were entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $5,516,648 in the aggregate, pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, which deferred fee would (i) become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination and (ii) be waived by the underwriters in the event that the Company does not complete a Business Combination.
On March 31, 2023, Nomura agreed to waive its entitlement to the deferred underwriting commissions of $4,046,657 owed or payable to Nomura in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement. As a result, the Company recognized $245,002 of other income attributable to the derecognition of deferred underwriting fees allocated to offering costs and $3,801,655 was recorded to additional paid-in capital in relation to the waiver of the deferred underwriting discount in the accompanying financial statements.
On April 12, 2023, Brookline and Ladenburg, constituting all of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering (other than Nomura), notified the Company pursuant to a letter dated as of April 6, 2023, that each of Brookline and Ladenburg agreed to waive its entitlement to the cash payment of deferred underwriting commissions owed or payable pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and will each accept 150,000 common shares, totaling an aggregate of 300,000 common shares, which is approximately $4.90 per share, of the surviving company of the Company’s initial Business Combination in full satisfaction of the aggregate $1,469,991 that would be payable to such underwriters upon the closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement.
Legal Services Agreement
Services rendered by the Company’s legal counsel are accrued on an ongoing basis but deferred for settlement until the closing of an initial Business Combination. The accrued fees were $1,555,000 and $758,955 as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

On July 18, 2023, the Company, 1427702 B.C. Ltd., a corporation organized under the laws of British Columbia (“TopCo”), Filament Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of TopCo, and Filament Health Corp., a corporation organized under the laws of British Columbia (“Filament”), entered into a business combination agreement (as may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), which provides for a proposed business combination through a series of related transactions (the “Proposed Business Combination”). The consummation of the Proposed Business Combination is subject to a number of conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement including, among others, receipt of the requisite approval of the Company’s stockholders and execution of various transaction agreements.

Class B Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of Class B common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 0 and 3,940,462 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding. At December 31, 2020, there were 4,312,500 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding, of which an aggregate of up to 562,500 shares of Class B common stock were subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part, so that the number of shares of Class B common stock would equal 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock after the Initial Public Offering (not including the Private Shares underlying the Private Placement Units). As a result of the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option and the forfeiture of the remaining portion of such over-allotment option, 372,038 Founder Shares were forfeited and 190,462 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture, resulting in an aggregate of 3,940,462 Founder Shares outstanding at August 25, 2021.
If any shares of Class B common stock are then outstanding, only holders of Class B common stock have the right to vote on the election of directors prior to the Company’s initial Business Combination. Holders of Class A common stock and holders of Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all other matters submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders except as otherwise required by law.
The shares of Class B common stock (if any) will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of a Business Combination, or earlier at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional shares of Class A common stock, or equity-linked securities, are issued or deemed issued in excess of the amounts offered in the Initial Public Offering and related to the closing of a Business Combination, the ratio at which shares of Class B common stock shall convert into shares of Class A common stock will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock agree to waive such adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B common stock will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of the total number of all shares of common stock outstanding upon completion of the Initial Public Offering (not including the Private Shares underlying the Private Placement Units) plus all shares of Class A common stock and equity-linked securities issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination (excluding any shares or equity-linked securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination and any private placement-equivalent warrants issued to the Sponsor or its affiliates upon conversion of loans made to the Company).
On April 20, 2023, pursuant to the Class B Conversion, the Founder Shares were converted from shares of Class B common stock to shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation. At September 30, 2023, there were 6,011,192 and 0 shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock issued and outstanding, respectively. The converted shares have the same restrictions as the Class B common stock and are non-redeemable until the close of Business Combination.
NOTE 8. WARRANT LIABILITIES
At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 7,880,925 Public Warrants outstanding. Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
The Company will not be obligated to deliver any shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares of Class A common stock underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue shares of Class A common stock upon exercise of a warrant unless the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon such warrant exercise have been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants.
The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 15 business days after the closing of a Business Combination, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration under the Securities Act of the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and thereafter will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days following a Business Combination and to maintain a current prospectus relating to the Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption.

| ● | at a price of $0.01 per warrant; |
| ● | upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and |

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of Class A common stock at a price below the exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional shares of Class A common stock or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of its initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A common stock (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (the “Newly Issued Price”), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of a Business Combination on the date of the consummation of its initial Business Combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s Class A common stock during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the Company consummates its initial Business Combination (such price, the “Market Value”) is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $10.00 and $18.00 per share redemption trigger prices will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 100% and 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, respectively.
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 297,618 Private Warrants outstanding. The Private Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Warrants and the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions, and the holders thereof are entitled to certain registration rights. Additionally, so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Warrants: (i) will not be redeemable by the Company (except for certain limitations); (ii) may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis; and (iii) with respect to Private Warrants held by the underwriters or their employees, will not be exercisable more than five years from the commencement of sales of the Initial Public Offering in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(8)(A). If the Private Warrants are held by holders other than the initial purchasers or their respective permitted transferees, the Private Warrants will be redeemable by the Company in all redemption scenarios and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.
NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:
Level 1: | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. |
Level 2: | Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. |
Level 3: | Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. |
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value:
Description | | Level | | | September 30, 2023 | | | December 31, 2022 | |
Assets: | | | | | | | | | | | |
Marketable securities held in Trust Account | | 1 | | | | — | | | $ | 159,610,253 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Liabilities: | | | | | | | | | | | |
Warrant liability- Public Warrants | | 2 | | | $ | 236,427 | | | $ | 472,856 | |
Warrant liability- Private Warrants | | 2 | | | $ | 8,928 | | | $ | 17,857 | |

The Warrants were accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 815-40 and are presented within warrant liabilities in the accompanying condensed September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 balance sheets. The warrant liabilities are measured at fair value at inception and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within the condensed statements of operations.
On August 17, 2021, the “Public Warrants” were valued using a Monte Carlo Simulation model, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. On August 17, 2021 and on December 31, 2021, the Private Warrants were valued using a Black Scholes model, considered a level 3 fair value measurement. The primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair value of the Warrants is the expected volatility of the common stock. The expected volatility as of the Initial Public Offering date was derived from observable public warrant pricing on comparable ‘blank-check’ companies without an identified target. On December 31, subsequent to the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units, the close price of the Public Warrant price was used as the fair value of the Public Warrants. For periods subsequent to the detachment of the Public Warrants from the Units including September 30, 2023, the close price of the Public Warrant price was used as the fair value as of each relevant date. The Public Warrants were classified as Level 1 due to an active market price as of December 31, 2021. At September 30, 2023, Public Warrants were transferred to a level 2 due to the lack of an active market and the presence of observable inputs in surrounding periods for the same instrument. In addition, as of September 30, 2023, Private Warrants transferred to Level 2 due to a make-whole provision which allows the Company to use the value of the closing price of the Public Warrants.
The following table presents the changes in the fair value of Level 3 warrant liabilities:
| | Private Placement | | | Public | | | Warrant Liabilities | |
Fair value as of December 31, 2021 | | $ | 144,910 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 144,910 | |
Change in valuation inputs or other assumptions | | | (46,696 | ) | | | — | | | | (46,696 | ) |
Transfer to level 2 | | | (98,214 | ) | | | — | | | | (98,214 | ) |
Fair value as of September 30, 2022 | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | |
Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2 and 3 are recognized at the end of the reporting period in which a change in valuation technique or methodology occurs. The estimated fair value of the Public Warrants transferred from a Level 1 measurement to a Level 2 fair value measurement during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $0 and $157,618, respectively.
NOTE 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the condensed financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, other than described below, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the condensed financial statements.

Such warrants will be exercisable starting six months after the Closing until five years after the Closing at a price per share equal to 100% of the price of the securities sold in the PIPE Financing.
On November 13, 2023, the Form F-4 was declared effective by the SEC, and the Company then filed the definitive proxy statement/prospectus with the SEC and commenced the mailing of the definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents to the Company’s stockholders as of November 6, 2023, the record date established for voting on the Proposed Business Combination.

If any Investor shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of outstanding amounts under the Notes resulting in such Investor receiving payment of a proportion of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount at the time of such prepayment greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Investor receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the other Investors of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the principal amount owing to the other Investors under the applicable Notes, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Investors ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Notes and other amounts owing them. The Company consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Investor acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangement may exercise against the Company rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Investor were a direct creditor of the Company in the amount of such participation.

As soon as practicable after any conversion or payment of any amount due hereunder in the form of Common Shares in accordance with this Note, and in any event within two (2) Trading Days thereafter (such date, the “Share Delivery Date”), the Maker shall, at its expense, cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as the Holder may direct, book-entry statements evidencing the number of fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares to which the Holder shall be entitled on such conversion or payment (the “Conversion Shares”), in the applicable denominations based on the applicable conversion or payment; provided that, if the Common Shares are then DWAC Eligible and such Common Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note have been registered for resale pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, upon request of the Holder, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit such Common Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note to the Holder (or its designee), by crediting the account of the Holder’s (or such designee’s) broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system (provided that the same time periods herein as for book-entry statements shall apply) as instructed by the Holder (or its designee). In the event that the Maker fails to comply with its obligations under this Section 3.2, a liquidated damages charge of 2% of the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Note will be assessed and will become immediately due and payable each month while such failure remains uncured to the Holder at its election in the form of a cash payment or added to the balance of this Note.
3.3 Caps on Conversion Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Holder shall not be entitled to receive shares representing Equity Interests upon conversion of this Note to the extent (but only to the extent) that:
(a) Ownership Cap. Such exercise or receipt would cause the Holder Group (as defined below) to become, directly or indirectly, a “beneficial owner” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) of a number of Equity Interests of a class that is registered under the 1934 Act which exceeds the Maximum Percentage (as defined below) of the Equity Interests of such class that are outstanding at such time. Any purported delivery of Equity Interests in connection with the conversion of this Note prior to the termination of this restriction in accordance herewith shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that such delivery would result in the Holder Group becoming the beneficial owner of more than the Maximum Percentage of the Equity Interests of a class that is registered under the 1934 Act that is outstanding at such time. If any delivery of Equity Interests owed to the Holder following conversion of this Note is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this limitation, the Company’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and the Company shall deliver such Equity Interests as promptly as practicable after the Holder gives notice to the Company that such delivery would not result in such limitation being triggered or upon termination of the restriction in accordance with the terms hereof; provided that no liquidated damages will be assessed or become due and payable pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof with respect to any such Equity Interests not being delivered solely as a result of this limitation. To the extent limitations contained in this Section 3.3(a) apply, the determination of whether this Note is convertible and of which portion of this Note is convertible shall be the sole responsibility and in the sole determination of the Holder, and the submission of a notice of conversion shall be deemed to constitute the Holder’s determination that the issuance of the full number of Conversion Shares requested in the notice of conversion is permitted hereunder, and the Company shall not have any obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. For purposes of this Section 3.3, (i) the term “Maximum Percentage” shall mean 4.99%; provided, that if at any time after the date hereof the Holder Group beneficially owns in excess of 4.99% of any class of Equity Interests in the Company that is registered under the 1934 Act, then the Maximum Percentage shall automatically increase to 9.99% so long as the Holder Group owns in excess of 4.99% of such class of Equity Interests (and shall, for the avoidance of doubt, automatically decrease to 4.99% upon the Holder Group ceasing to own in excess of 4.99% of such class of Equity Interests); and (ii) the term “Holder Group” shall mean the Holder plus any other Person with which the Holder is considered to be part of a group under Section 13 of the 1934 Act or with which the Holder otherwise files reports under Sections 13 and/or 16 of the 1934 Act. In determining the number of Equity Interests of a particular class outstanding at any point in time, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Equity Interests of such class as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Form 20-F, or Form 6-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) a more recent notice by the Company or its transfer agent to the Holder setting forth the number of Equity Interests of such class then outstanding. For any reason at any time, upon written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall, within one (1) Business Day of such request, confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Equity Interests of any class then outstanding. The provisions of this Section 3.3 shall be construed, corrected and implemented in a manner so as to effectuate the intended beneficial ownership limitation herein contained.
3.4 Adjustment of Conversion Price.
(a) Until the Note has been paid in full or converted in full except as otherwise provided in this Section 3.4, the Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows (but shall not be increased, other than pursuant to Section 3.4(a)(i) hereof) provided however that in no event shall any such adjustment hereunder result in the Conversion Price becoming lower than the Floor Price:
(i) Adjustments for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date (but whether before or after the Issuance Date) effect a split of the outstanding Common Shares, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the stock split shall be proportionately decreased. Any adjustments under this Section 3.4(a)(i) shall be effective at the close of business on the date the stock split or combination occurs.
(ii) Adjustments for Certain Dividends and Distributions. If the Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date (but whether before or after the Issuance Date) make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Shares entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in Common Shares, then, and in each event, the applicable Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the applicable Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction:
(1) the numerator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date; and
(2) the denominator of which shall be the total number of Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of Common Shares issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.
(iii) Adjustment for Other Dividends and Distributions. If the Maker shall at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date (but whether before or after the Issuance Date) make or issue or set a record date for the determination of holders of Common Shares entitled to receive a dividend or other distribution payable in other Common Shares, then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the applicable Conversion Price shall be made and provision shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the Holder of this Note shall receive upon conversions thereof, in addition to the number of Common Shares receivable thereon, the number of securities of the Maker or other issuer (as applicable) or other property that it would have received had this Note been converted into Common Shares in full (without regard to any conversion limitations herein) on the date of such event and had thereafter, during the period from the date of such event to and including the Conversion Date, retained such securities (together with any distributions payable thereon during such period) or assets, giving application to all adjustments called for during such period under this Section 3.4(a)(iii) with respect to the rights of the holders of this Note; provided, however, that if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this paragraph as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions.
(iv) Adjustments for Reclassification, Exchange or Substitution. If the Common Shares at any time or from time to time after the Closing Date (but whether before or after the Issuance Date) shall be changed to the same or different number of shares or other securities of any class of shares or other property, whether by reclassification, exchange, substitution or otherwise (other than by way of a stock split or combination of shares or stock dividends provided for in Sections 3.4(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) hereof, or a reorganization, merger, consolidation, or sale of assets provided for in Section 3.4(a)(viii) hereof), then, and in each event, an appropriate revision to the Conversion Price shall be made and provisions shall be made (by adjustments of the Conversion Price or otherwise) so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter to convert this Note into the kind and amount of shares or other securities or other property receivable upon reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, by holders of the number of Common Shares into which such Note might have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification, exchange, substitution or other change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
(v) Adjustment Due to Dilutive Issuance. If, at any time while this Note is Outstanding the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 3.4(a)(v) hereof is deemed to have issued or sold, except for Common Shares issued in an issuance of Exempted Securities (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), any Common Shares for a consideration per share (before deduction of reasonable expenses or commissions or underwriting discounts or allowances in connection therewith) less than the Conversion Price in effect on the date of such issuance (or deemed issuance) of such Common Shares (a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately upon the Dilutive Issuance, the Conversion Price will be reduced to the amount of the consideration per share received by the Company in such Dilutive Issuance.
The Company shall be deemed to have issued or sold Common Shares if the Company in any manner issues or grants any warrants, rights or options (not including employee stock option plans), whether or not immediately exercisable, to subscribe for or to purchase Common Shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares (“Convertible Securities”) (such warrants, rights and options to Common Shares or Convertible Securities are hereinafter referred to as “Options”) and the price per share for which such Common Shares are issuable upon the exercise of such Options is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be equal to such price per share. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which such Common Shares are issuable upon the exercise of such Options” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance or granting of all such Options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the exercise of all such Options, plus, in the case of Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such Options, the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of all such Options (assuming full conversion of Convertible Securities, if applicable). No further adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Shares upon the exercise of such Options or upon the conversion or exchange of Convertible Securities issuable upon exercise of such Options.
Additionally, the Company shall be deemed to have issued or sold Common Shares if the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities, whether or not immediately convertible (other than in an issuance of Exempted Securities), and the price per share for which such Common Shares are issuable upon such conversion or exchange is less than the Conversion Price then in effect, then the Conversion Price shall be equal to such price per share. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the “price per share for which such Common Shares are issuable upon such conversion or exchange” is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of Common Shares issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment to the Conversion Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Shares upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.
(vi) Share Combination Event Adjustment. If at any time and from time to time on or after the Business Combination Closing Date there occurs any share split, share dividend, share combination recapitalization or other similar transaction involving the Common Shares (each, a "Share Combination Event", and such date thereof, the "Share Combination Event Date") and the Event Market Price is less than the Conversion Price then in effect (after giving effect to the adjustment in clause 3.4(a) above), then on the sixteenth (16th) Trading Day immediately following such Share Combination Event, the Conversion Price then in effect on such sixteenth (16th) Trading Day (after giving effect to the adjustment in clause 3.4(a) above) shall be reduced (but in no event increased) to the Event Market Price. For the avoidance of doubt, if the adjustment in the immediately preceding sentence would otherwise result in an increase in the Conversion Price hereunder, no adjustment shall be made.
(vii) Other Events. In the event that the Company (or any Subsidiary (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement)) shall take any action to which the provisions hereof are not strictly applicable, or, if applicable, would not operate to protect the Holder from dilution or if any event occurs of the type contemplated by the provisions of this Section 3.4 but not expressly provided for by such provisions (including, without limitation, the granting of share appreciation rights, phantom share rights or other rights with equity features), then the Company's board of directors shall in good faith determine and implement an appropriate adjustment in the Conversion Price and the number of Conversion Shares (if applicable) so as to protect the rights of the Holder, provided that no such adjustment pursuant to this Section 3.4 will increase the Conversion Price or decrease the number of Conversion Shares as otherwise determined pursuant to this Section 3.4 provided further that if the Holder does not accept such adjustments as appropriately protecting its rights hereunder, then the Board of Directors and the Holder shall agree, in good faith, upon an independent investment bank of nationally recognized standing to make such appropriate adjustments, whose determination shall be final and binding absent manifest error and whose fees and expenses shall be borne by the Company.
(viii) Consideration for Stock. In case any Common Shares or any Common Share Equivalents shall be issued or sold:
(1) in connection with any merger or consolidation in which the Maker is the surviving corporation (other than any consolidation or merger in which the previously outstanding Common Shares of the Maker shall be changed to or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another corporation), the amount of consideration therefor shall be, deemed to be the fair value, as determined reasonably and in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Maker and approved by the Requisite Holder, of such portion of the assets and business of the non-surviving corporation as such Board of Directors may determine to be attributable to such Common Shares, rights or warrants or options or other Convertible Securities, as the case may be; or
(2) in the event of any consolidation or merger of the Maker in which the Maker is not the surviving corporation or in which the previously outstanding Common Shares of the Maker shall be changed into or exchanged for the stock or other securities of another corporation or other property, or in the event of any sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Maker for stock or other securities or other property of any corporation, the Maker shall be deemed to have issued Common Shares, at a price per share equal to the valuation of the Maker’s Common Shares based on the actual exchange ratio on which the transaction was predicated, as applicable, and the fair market value on the date of such transaction of all such stock or securities or other property of the other corporation. If any such calculation results in adjustment of the applicable Conversion Price, or the number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Note, the determination of the applicable Conversion Price or the number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Note immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or sale, shall be made after giving effect to such adjustment of the number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Note. In the event Common Shares are issued with other shares or securities or other assets of the Maker for consideration which covers both, the consideration computed as provided in this Section 3.4(a)(viii) shall be allocated among such securities and assets as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Maker, and approved by the Requisite Holder.
(ix) Record Date. In case the Maker shall take record of the holders of its Common Shares for the purpose of entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares or Convertible Securities, then the date of the issue or sale of the Common Shares shall be deemed to be such record date.
(b) No Impairment. The Maker shall not, by amendment of its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Maker, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 3.4 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the Holder against impairment. In the event the Holder shall elect to convert this Note as provided herein, the Maker cannot refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, violation of an agreement to which the Holder is a party or for any reason whatsoever, unless, an injunction from a court, or notice, restraining and or adjoining conversion of this Note shall have issued and the Maker posts a surety bond for the benefit of the Holder in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%)of the Principal Amount of the Note the Holder has elected to convert, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to the Holder (as liquidated damages) in the event it obtains judgment.
(c) Certificates as to Adjustments. Upon occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price or number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of this Note pursuant to this Section 3.4, the Maker at its expense shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment and readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Maker shall, upon written request of the Holder, at any time, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Holder a like certificate setting forth such adjustments and readjustments, the applicable Conversion Price in effect at the time, and the number of Common Shares and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Maker shall not be obligated to deliver a certificate unless such certificate would reflect an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) of such adjusted amount.
(d) Issue Taxes. The Maker shall pay any and all issue and other taxes, excluding federal, state or local income taxes, that may be payable in respect of any issue or delivery of Common Shares on conversion of this Note pursuant thereto; provided, however, that the Maker shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting from any transfer requested by the Holder in connection with any such conversion.
(e) Fractional Shares. No fractional Common Shares shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of any fractional shares to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled, the Maker shall pay cash equal such fractional shares multiplied by the Conversion Price then in effect.
(f) Reservation of Common Shares. The Maker shall at all times while this Note shall be outstanding, keep available out of its authorized Common Shares, the Required Minimum of Common Shares (disregarding for this purpose any and all limitations of any kind on such conversion). The Maker shall, from time to time, increase the authorized number of Common Shares or take other effective action if at any time the unissued number of authorized shares shall not be sufficient to satisfy the Maker’s obligations under this Section 3.4(f).
(g) Regulatory Compliance. If any Common Shares for the purpose of conversion of this Note require registration or listing with or approval of any governmental authority, stock exchange or other regulatory body under any federal or state law or regulation or otherwise before such shares may be validly issued or delivered upon conversion, the Maker shall, at its sole cost and expense, in good faith and as expeditiously as possible, secure such registration, listing or approval, as the case may be.
(h) Effect of Events Prior to the Issuance Date. If the Issuance Date of this Note is after the Closing Date, then, if the Conversion Price or any other right of the Holder of this Note would have been adjusted or modified by operation of any provision of this Note had this Note been issued on the Closing Date, such adjustment or modification shall be deemed to apply to this Note as of the Issuance Date as if this Note had been issued on the Closing Date.
3.5 Prepayment Following a Change of Control.
(a) Mechanics of Prepayment at Option of Holder in Connection with a Change of Control. No later than fifteen (15) days following the entry by the Company into an agreement for a Change of Control, but in no event prior to the public announcement of such Change of Control, the Maker shall deliver written notice describing the entry into such agreement (“Notice of Change of Control”) to the Holder. Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a Notice of Change of Control, the Requisite Holder may require the Maker to prepay, effective immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control, an amount equal to the Mandatory Default Amount on such date (the “COC Repayment Price”), by delivering written notice thereof (“Notice of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Change of Control”) to the Maker.
(b) Payment of COC Repayment Price. Upon the Maker’s receipt of a Notice(s) of Prepayment at Option of Holder Upon Change of Control from the Holder, the Maker shall deliver the COC Repayment Price to the Holder immediately prior to the consummation of the Change of Control; provided that the Holder’s original Note shall have been so delivered to the Maker, and, provided, further that all payments shall be subject to the provisions of the Purchase Agreement with respect to the holders of the Other Notes.
3.6 Inability to Fully Convert.
(a) Holder’s Option if Maker Cannot Fully Convert. If, upon the Maker’s receipt of a Conversion Notice or as otherwise required under this Note, including with respect to repayment of principal in Common Shares as permitted under this Note, the Maker cannot issue Common Shares for any reason, including, without limitation, because the Maker (x) does not have a sufficient number of Common Shares authorized and available or (y) is otherwise prohibited by applicable law or by the rules or regulations of any stock exchange, interdealer quotation system or other self-regulatory organization with jurisdiction over the Maker or any of its securities from issuing all of the Common Shares which are to be issued to the Holder pursuant to this Note, then the Maker shall issue as many Common Shares as it is able to issue and, with respect to the unconverted portion of this Note or with respect to any Common Shares not timely issued in accordance with this Note, the Holder, solely at Holder’s option, can elect to:
(i) require the Maker to prepay that portion of this Note for which the Maker is unable to issue Common Shares or for which Common Shares were not timely issued (the “Mandatory Prepayment”) at a price equal to the number of Common Shares that the Maker is unable to issue multiplied by the Conversion Price on the date of the Conversion Notice (the “Mandatory Prepayment Price”) (provided all payments shall be subject to the provisions of the Purchase Agreement with respect to the holders of the Other Notes); provided that an election under this clause (i) shall not be available in the event that the Maker is unable to issue Common Shares solely pursuant to the caps set forth in Section 3.3 above;
(ii) void its Conversion Notice and retain or have returned, as the case may be, this Note that was to be converted pursuant to the Conversion Notice (provided that the Holder’s voiding its Conversion Notice shall not affect the Maker’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice); or
(iii) defer issuance of the applicable Conversion Shares until such time as the Maker can legally issue such shares; provided that the Principal Amount underlying such Conversion Shares shall remain outstanding until the delivery of such Conversion Shares; and provided, further, that if the Holder elects to defer the issuance of the Conversion Shares, it may exercise its rights under either clause (i) or (ii) above at any time prior to the issuance of the Conversion Shares upon two (2) Business Days’ notice to the Maker.
(b) Mechanics of Fulfilling Holder’s Election. The Maker shall immediately send to the Holder, upon receipt of a Conversion Notice from the Holder, which cannot be fully satisfied as described in Section 3.6(a) above, a notice of the Maker’s inability to fully satisfy the Conversion Notice (the “Inability to Fully Convert Notice”). Such Inability to Fully Convert Notice shall indicate (i) the reason why the Maker is unable to fully satisfy the Holder’s Conversion Notice; and (ii) the amount of this Note which cannot be converted. The Holder shall notify the Maker of its election pursuant to Section 3.6(a) above by delivering written notice to the Maker (“Notice in Response to Inability to Convert”).
(c) Payment of Mandatory Prepayment Price. If the Holder shall elect to have its Note prepaid pursuant to Section 3.6(a)(i) above, the Maker shall pay the Mandatory Prepayment Price to the Holder within five (5) Business Days of the Maker’s receipt of the Holder’s Notice in Response to Inability to Convert; provided that prior to the Maker’s receipt of the Holder’s Notice in Response to Inability to Convert the Maker has not delivered a notice to the Holder stating, to the satisfaction of the Holder, that the event or condition resulting in the Mandatory Prepayment has been cured and all Conversion Shares issuable to the Holder can and will be delivered to the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Note. If the Maker shall fail to pay the applicable Mandatory Prepayment Price to the Holder on the date that is two (2) Business Days following the Maker’s receipt of the Holder’s Notice in Response to Inability to Convert, in addition to any remedy the Holder may have under this Note and the Purchase Agreement, such unpaid amount shall bear interest at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Until the full Mandatory Prepayment Price is paid in full to the Holder, the Holder may (i) void the Mandatory Prepayment with respect to that portion of the Note for which the full Mandatory Prepayment Price has not been paid and (ii) receive back such Note.
(d) No Rights as Shareholder. Except as expressly set forth hereunder, nothing contained in this Note shall be construed as conferring upon the Holder, prior to the conversion of this Note, the right to vote or to receive dividends or to consent or to receive notice as a shareholder of the Company in respect of any meeting of shareholders for the election of directors of the Maker or of any other matter, or any other rights as a shareholder of the Maker.
3.7 Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Conversion Shares. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to deliver or cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder, Conversion Shares or any other shares pursuant to a conversion on or before the Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, Common Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Conversion Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such conversion (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (a) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Common Shares so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Conversion Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the conversion at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (b) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Note and equivalent number of Conversion Shares for which such conversion was not honored (in which case such conversion shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of Common Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its conversion and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Shares having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of Common Shares with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (a) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver Common Shares upon conversion of the Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
ARTICLE 4

The Maker shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, promptly pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, when due and payable, all lawful taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon the income, profits, property or business of the Maker and the Subsidiaries, except for such failures to pay that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that any such tax, assessment, charge or levy need not be paid if the validity thereof shall currently be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and if the Maker or such Subsidiaries shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto, and provided, further, that the Maker and such Subsidiaries will pay all such taxes, assessments, charges or levies forthwith upon the commencement of proceedings to foreclose any lien which may have attached as security therefor.
(c) Corporate Existence. The Maker shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain in full force and effect its corporate existence, rights and franchises and all licenses and other rights to use property owned or possessed by it and reasonably deemed to be necessary to the conduct of its business.
(d) Investment Company Act. The Maker shall conduct its businesses in a manner so that it will not be required to register as an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
(e) Standstill. Until the date that is sixty (60) Trading Days following such date as the Investor Shares in respect of this Note have been registered for resale under the 1933 Act and may be sold without restriction, the Company shall not issue to any third-party and Common Shares which have been registered for resale under the 1933 Act or any Common Shares or Common Share Equivalents having registration rights.
(f) Prohibited Transactions. The Maker hereby covenants and agrees not to enter into any Prohibited Transactions until thirty (30) days after such time as this Note has been converted into Conversion Shares or repaid in full.
(g) Indebtedness. The Maker hereby covenants and agrees not to incur or enter into any agreement or arrangement for Indebtedness until thirty (30) days after such time as this Note has been converted into Conversion Shares or repaid in full.

ARTICLE 5
5.1 Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (a) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via email at the email address specified in this Section prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on a Business Day, (b) the next Business Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via email at the email address specified in this Section on a day that is not a Business Day or later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on any date and earlier than 11:59 p.m. (New York time) on such date, (c) the Business Day following the date of mailing, if sent by U.S. nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (d) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given. The addresses for notice shall be as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
5.2 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to principles of conflict of laws or choice of laws. This Note shall not be interpreted or construed with any presumption against the party causing this Note to be drafted.
5.3 Headings. Article and section headings in this Note are included herein for purposes of convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Note for any other purpose.
5.4 Remedies, Characterizations, Other Obligations, Breaches and Injunctive Relief. The remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Note, at law or in equity (including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), no remedy contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy and nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Maker to comply with the terms of this Note. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the holder thereof and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Maker (or the performance thereof).

LTD. / FILAMENT HEALTH CORP.], a British Columbia corporation (the “Company”), up to [INSERT WARRANT SHARES]5 shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Warrant Shares”) of Common Shares.

Section 2. Exercise.
a) Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Issue Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed facsimile copy or PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”). Within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined in Section 2(d)(i)) following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver to the Company the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
b) Exercise Price. The “Exercise Price” per Common Share under this Warrant, subject to adjustment as provided herein, shall be equal to USD$12.50 per share.
c) Cashless Exercise. If at any time following the date which is six months after the Issuance Date ((“Registration Deadline”), there is no effective registration statement registering, or no currently prospectus available for, the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder (a “Registration Default”), then this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
(A) = as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option of the Holder, either (y) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise or (z) the Bid Price of the Common Shares on the principal Trading Market as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”) as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;
(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and
(X) = the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the characteristics of the Warrants being exercised, and the holding period of the Warrant Shares being issued may be tacked on to the holding period of this Warrant. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).
“VWAP” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Shares are then listed or quoted on a Trading Market, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Shares for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the Common Shares are then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted average price of the Common Shares for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Shares are not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Shares are then reported in the “Pink Sheets” published by OTC Markets Group, Inc. (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Shares so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a Common Share as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Investor, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.
d) Mechanics of Exercise.
i. Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants), and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is the earliest of (i) three (3) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, (ii) two (2) Trading Day after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company and (iii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise and aggregate Exercise Price (if not a cashless exercise) (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate (but not Rule 144) purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received by the Company prior to the Holder becoming the holder of record of the Warrant Shares. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each USD$1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Shares on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), USD$10 per Trading Day (increasing to USD$20 per Trading Day on the third (3rd) Trading Day the Warrant Share Delivery Date) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Shares as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.
ii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
iii. Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(d)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
iv. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2(d)(i) above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, Common Shares to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Common Shares so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Holder the number of Common Shares that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Holder purchases Common Shares having a total purchase price of USD$11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of Common Shares with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of USD$10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder USD$1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver Common Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
v. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price.
vi. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares. The Company shall pay all attorney fees required for the issuance of attorney legal opinions for removal of restrictive legends on Warrant Shares.
vii. Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
e) Holder’s Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of Common Shares which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Share Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(e), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(e) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(e), in determining the number of outstanding Common Shares, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding Common Shares as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of Common Shares outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of Common Shares then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding Common Shares shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding Common Shares was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(e), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of Common Shares upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(e) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(e) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.
Section 3. Certain Adjustments.
a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on its Common Shares or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in Common Shares (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any Common Shares issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding Common Shares into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding Common Shares into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues by reclassification of Common Shares any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of Common Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
b) Adjustment Upon Issuance of Common Shares. If and whenever on or after the date hereof, the Company issues or sells, or in accordance with this Section 3 is deemed to have issued or sold, any Common Shares (including the issuance or sale of Common Shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, but excluding any issuance of Exempted Securities issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold) for a consideration per share (the “New Issuance Price”) less than a price equal to $12.50 (such Exercise Price then in effect is referred to as the “Applicable Price”) (the foregoing a “Dilutive Issuance”), then immediately after such Dilutive Issuance, the Exercise Price then in effect shall be reduced to the 130% of the New Issuance Price; provided however that an adjustment of the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall not be result in an Exercise Price which is higher than the Exercise Price prior to such adjustment. For all purposes of the foregoing (including, without limitation, determining the adjusted Exercise Price and consideration per share under this Section 3(b)), the following shall be applicable:
| i. | Issuance of Common Share Equivalents. If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Common Share Equivalents (other than Common Share Equivalents that qualify as Exempted Securities) and the lowest price per share for which one Common Share is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof is less than the Applicable Price, then such Common Share shall be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company at the time of the issuance or sale of such Common Share Equivalents for such price per share. For the purposes of this Section 3(b)(i), the “lowest price per share for which one Common Share is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof” shall be equal to (1) the lower of (x) the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one Common Share upon the issuance or sale of the Common Share Equivalent and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Common Share Equivalent and (y) the lowest conversion price set forth in such Common Share Equivalent for which one Common Share is issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange thereof minus (2) the sum of all amounts paid or payable to the holder of such Common Share Equivalent (or any other Person) upon the issuance or sale of such Common Share Equivalent plus the value of any other consideration received or receivable by, or benefit conferred on, the holder of such Common Share Equivalent (or any other Person). Except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Shares upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Common Share Equivalents, and if any such issue or sale of such Common Share Equivalents is made upon exercise of any options for which adjustment of this Warrant has been or is to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 3(b), except as contemplated below, no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale. |
| ii. | Change in Option Price or Rate of Conversion. If the purchase or exercise price provided for in any options, the additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue, conversion, exercise or exchange of any Common Share Equivalents, or the rate at which any Common Share Equivalents are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares increases or decreases at any time, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of such increase or decrease shall be adjusted to the Exercise Price which would have been in effect at such time had such options or Common Share Equivalents provided for such increased or decreased purchase price, additional consideration or increased or decreased conversion rate, as the case may be, at the time initially granted, issued or sold. For purposes of this Section 3, if the terms of any option or Common Share Equivalent that was outstanding as of the date of issuance of this Warrant are increased or decreased in the manner described in the immediately preceding sentence, then such option or Common Share Equivalent and the Common Shares deemed issuable upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof shall be deemed to have been issued as of the date of such increase or decrease. No adjustment pursuant to this Section 3 shall be made if such adjustment would result in an increase of the Exercise Price then in effect. |
| iii. | Calculation of Consideration Received. If any option and/or Common Share Equivalent and/or Adjustment Right is issued in connection with the issuance or sale or deemed issuance or sale of any other securities of the Company (as determined by the Holder, the “Primary Security”, and such option and/or Common Share Equivalent and/or Adjustment Right, the “Secondary Securities”), together comprising one integrated transaction, the consideration per Common Share with respect to such Primary Security shall be deemed to be equal to the difference of (x) the lowest price per share for which one Common Share was issued in such integrated transaction (or was deemed to be issued pursuant to Section 3(b)(i) or 3(b)(ii) above, as applicable) solely with respect to such Primary Security, minus (y) with respect to such Secondary Securities, the sum of (I) the Black Scholes Consideration Value of each such option, if any, (II) the fair market value (as determined by the Holder) or the Black Scholes Consideration Value, as applicable, of such Adjustment Right, if any, and (III) the fair market value (as determined by the Holder) of such Common Share Equivalent, if any, in each case, as determined on a per share basis in accordance with this Section 3(b)(iii). If any Common Shares, options or Common Share Equivalents are issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor (for the purpose of determining the consideration paid for such Common Shares, option or Common Share Equivalent, but not for the purpose of the calculation of the Black Scholes Consideration Value) will be deemed to be the net amount of consideration received by the Company therefor. If any Common Shares, options or Common Share Equivalents are issued or sold for a consideration other than cash (for the purpose of determining the consideration paid for such Common Shares, option or Common Share Equivalent, but not for the purpose of the calculation of the Black Scholes Consideration Value), the amount of such consideration received by the Company will be the fair value of such consideration, except where such consideration consists of publicly traded securities, in which case the amount of consideration received by the Company for such securities will be the arithmetic average of the VWAPs of such security for each of the five (5) Trading Days immediately preceding the date of receipt. If any Common Shares, options or Common Share Equivalents are issued to the owners of the non-surviving entity in connection with any merger in which the Company is the surviving entity (for the purpose of determining the consideration paid for such Common Shares, option or Common Share Equivalent, but not for the purpose of the calculation of the Black Scholes Consideration Value), the amount of consideration therefor will be deemed to be the fair value of such portion of the net assets and business of the non-surviving entity as is attributable to such Common Shares, options or Common Share Equivalents, as the case may be. The fair value of any consideration other than cash or publicly traded securities (for the purpose of determining the consideration paid for such Common Shares, option or Common Share Equivalent, but not for the purpose of the calculation of the Black Scholes Consideration Value) will be determined jointly by the Company and the Holder. If such parties are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after the occurrence of an event requiring valuation (the “Valuation Event”), the fair value of such consideration will be determined within five (5) Trading Days after the tenth (10th) day following such Valuation Event by an independent, reputable appraiser jointly selected by the Company and the Holder. The determination of such appraiser shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error and the fees and expenses of such appraiser shall be borne by the Company. |
| iv. | For the avoidance of doubt, the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall not be proportionately adjusted nor shall the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant be adjusted as a result of the Business Combination Transaction. |
c) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Share Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Shares (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of Common Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Shares are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to such extent (or beneficial ownership of such Common Shares as a result of such Purchase Right to such extent) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
d) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of Common Shares, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of Common Shares acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof, including without limitation, the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Shares are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution (provided, however, that, to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Distribution would result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Distribution to such extent (or in the beneficial ownership of any Common Shares as a result of such Distribution to such extent) and the portion of such Distribution shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder exceeding the Beneficial Ownership Limitation).
e) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company, directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Shares are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding Common Shares, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Shares or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Shares are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding Common Shares (not including any Common Shares held by the other Person or other Persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other Persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of Common Shares of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of Common Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one Common Share in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Shares are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(e) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the Common Shares acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the Common Shares pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.
f) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of Common Shares deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of Common Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
g) Notice to Holder.
i. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by facsimile or email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Shares, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Shares, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Shares rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Shares, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Shares are converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by facsimile or email to the Holder at its last facsimile number or email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 15 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Shares of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Shares of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Shares for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.
Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.
a) Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in Section 4(d) hereof and to the provisions of Section 4.1, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
b) New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Issue Date and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
c) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
d) Transfer Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, comply with the provisions of Section 2(f) of the Purchase Agreement.
e) Representation by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not as a nominee for any other party, and for investment, and that the Holder shall not offer, sell or otherwise dispose of this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof, the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act. This Warrant, any Warrant issued in substitution or replacement therefor and any Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise hereof or thereof, shall be stamped or imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
“UNLESS PERMITTED UNDER SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE [INSERT DATE WHICH IS 4 MONTH AND 1 DAY FROM THE ISSUE DATE].”
“NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR THE SECURITIES FOR WHICH THIS SECURITY IS EXERCISABLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THIS SECURITY MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.”
Section 5. Miscellaneous.
a) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof.
b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
d) Authorized Shares.
The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Shares a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Shares may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Holder, the Company shall not by any action, including, without limitation, amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of Holder as set forth in this Warrant against impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the amount payable therefor upon such exercise immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof, as may be, necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
Before taking any action which would result in an adjustment in the number of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is exercisable or in the Exercise Price, the Company shall obtain all such authorizations or exemptions thereof, or consents thereto, as may be necessary from any public regulatory body or bodies having jurisdiction thereof.
e) Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
f) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered and the Holder does not utilize cashless exercise after six months from the date hereof, may have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
g) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
h) Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holders by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
i) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Shares or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
j) Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
k) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
l) Amendment; Waivers. Any modifications, amendments or waivers of the provisions hereof shall be subject to 11.10 of the Purchase Agreement.
m) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
n) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.
o) Terms of Future Securities. So long as this Warrant is outstanding, except for the offering conducted in connection with the Uplist, upon any issuance by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of any security with any term more favorable to the holder of such security or with a term in favor of the holder of such security that was not similarly provided to the Holder in this Warrant, then the Company shall notify the Holder of such additional or more favorable term and at Holder’s option, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause such additional or more favorable term to become a part of this Warrant with the Holder (irrespective of whether Company provided the notification or not). The types of terms contained in another security that may be more favorable to the holder of such security include, but are not limited to, terms addressing anti-dilution protections, stock sale price, private placement price per share, and warrant coverage.
p) Equal Treatment of Holders. No consideration (including any modification of this Warrant) shall be offered or paid to any Person (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision hereof unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the Holders. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Holder by the Company and negotiated separately by each Holder and is intended for the Company to treat the Holders as a class and shall not in any way be construed as the Holders acting in concert or as a group with respect to the Warrants or the Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants.
q) No Net Settlement of Warrants. The Warrants may not be net settled in cash.

Ltd., a company organized under the laws of British Columbia (the “Company”), each Guarantor (as defined below), the holders of the Convertible Promissory Notes issued by the Company (collectively, the “Notes”) signatory hereto, issued pursuant to to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of December __, 2023 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, and the investors signatory thereto, their endorsees, transferees and assigns (collectively, the “Secured Parties”), and Helena Global Investment Opportunities 1 Ltd., in its capacity as Agent (as defined below).
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement the Secured Parties have severally agreed to extend the loans to the Company evidenced by the Notes;

(a) Each Debtor has the requisite corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other power and authority to enter into this Agreement and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by each Debtor of this Agreement and the filings contemplated therein have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of such Debtor and no further action is required by such Debtor. This Agreement has been duly executed by each Debtor. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Debtor, enforceable against each Debtor in accordance with its terms except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and similar laws of general application relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors and by general principles of equity.
(b) Each Debtor has no place of business or offices where their respective books of account and records are kept (other than temporarily at the offices of its attorneys or accountants) or places where Collateral is stored or located, except as set forth on Schedule A attached hereto. Except as specifically set forth on Schedule A, each Debtor is the record owner of the real property where such Collateral is located, and there exist no mortgages or other liens on any such real property).

(d) No written claim has been received that any Collateral or any Debtor’s use of any Collateral violates the rights of any third party. There has been no adverse decision to any Debtor's claim of ownership rights in or exclusive rights to use the Collateral in any jurisdiction or to any Debtor's right to keep and maintain such Collateral in full force and effect, and there is no proceeding involving said rights pending or, to the best knowledge of any Debtor, threatened before any court, judicial body, administrative or regulatory agency, arbitrator or other governmental authority.
(e) Each Debtor shall at all times maintain its books of account and records relating to the Collateral at its principal place of business and its Collateral at the locations set forth on Schedule A attached hereto and may not relocate such books of account and records or tangible Collateral unless it delivers to the Secured Parties at least 30 days prior to such relocation (i) written notice of such relocation and the new location thereof, and (ii) evidence that appropriate financing statements under the UCC and other necessary documents have been filed and recorded and other steps have been taken to perfect the Security Interests to create in favor of the Secured Parties a valid, perfected and continuing perfected lien in the Collateral.

If any, all required consents (including, without limitation, from stockholders or creditors of any Debtor) necessary for any Debtor to enter into and perform its obligations hereunder have been obtained.
(i) The capital stock and other equity interests listed on Schedule H hereto (the “Pledged Securities”) represent all of the capital stock and other equity interests of the Subsidiaries and represent all capital stock and other equity interests owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company. All of the Pledged Securities are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and the Company is the legal and beneficial owner of the Pledged Securities that it owns, free and clear of any lien, security interest or other encumbrance except for the security interests created by this Agreement. During the period in which the Notes are outstanding, each Debtor will not without the prior written consent of the Agent, directly or indirectly, sell, offer, contract or grant any option to sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of or transfer, any shares of their capital stock, options, rights or warrants to acquire shares of capital stock or securities exchangeable or exercisable for or convertible into shares of capital stock.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Debtor shall pay all fees, taxes and other amounts necessary to maintain the Collateral and the Security Interests hereunder, and each Debtor shall obtain and furnish to the Agent from time to time, upon demand, such releases and/or subordinations of claims and liens which may be required to maintain the priority of the Security Interests hereunder.
(l) Except as set forth on Schedule B, no Debtor will transfer, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, license, sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral (except for non-exclusive licenses granted by any Debtor in its ordinary course of business and sales of inventory by any Debtor in its ordinary course of business) without the prior written consent of a Majority in Interest.

Each Debtor shall, as soon as practicable, cause each insurance policy issued in connection herewith to provide, and the insurer issuing such policy to certify to the Agent, that (a) the Agent will be named as lender loss payee and additional insured under each such insurance policy; (b) if such insurance be proposed to be cancelled or materially changed for any reason whatsoever, such insurer will promptly notify the Agent and such cancellation or change shall not be effective as to the Agent for at least thirty (30) days after receipt by the Agent of such notice, unless the effect of such change is to extend or increase coverage under the policy; and (c) the Agent will have the right (but no obligation) at its election to remedy any default in the payment of premiums within thirty (30) days of notice from the insurer of such default. If no Event of Default (as defined in the Notes) exists and if the proceeds arising out of any claim or series of related claims do not exceed $100,000, loss payments in each instance will be applied by the applicable Debtor to the repair and/or replacement of property with respect to which the loss was incurred to the extent reasonably feasible, and any loss payments or the balance thereof remaining, to the extent not so applied, shall be payable to the applicable Debtor; provided, however, that payments received by any Debtor after an Event of Default occurs and is continuing or in excess of $100,000 for any occurrence or series of related occurrences shall be paid to the Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties and, if received by such Debtor, shall be held in trust for the Secured Parties and immediately paid over to the Agent unless otherwise directed in writing by the Agent.

(a) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, each Debtor shall, upon receipt of any revenue, income, dividend, interest or other sums subject to the Security Interests, whether payable pursuant to the Notes or otherwise, or of any check, draft, note, trade acceptance or other instrument evidencing an obligation to pay any such sum, hold the same in trust for the Secured Parties and shall forthwith endorse and transfer any such sums or instruments, or both, to the Secured Parties, pro-rata in proportion to their respective then-currently outstanding principal amount of Notes for application to the satisfaction of the Obligations (and if any Note is not outstanding, pro-rata in proportion to the initial purchases of the remaining Notes).
(b) If any Debtor shall become entitled to receive or shall receive any securities or other property (including, without limitation, shares of Pledged Securities or instruments representing Pledged Securities acquired after the date hereof, or any options, warrants, rights or other similar property or certificates representing a dividend, or any distribution in connection with any recapitalization, reclassification or increase or reduction of capital, or issued in connection with any reorganization of such Debtor or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries) in respect of the Pledged Securities (whether as an addition to, in substitution of, or in exchange for, such Pledged Securities or otherwise), such Debtor agrees to (i) accept the same as the agent of the Secured Parties; (ii) hold the same in trust on behalf of and for the benefit of the Secured Parties; and (iii) to deliver any and all certificates or instruments evidencing the same to Agent on or before the close of business on the fifth business day following the receipt thereof by such Debtor, in the exact form received together with the Necessary Endorsements, to be held by Agent subject to the terms of this Agreement as Collateral.
8. Rights and Remedies Upon Default.
(a) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, the Secured Parties, acting through the Agent, shall have the right to exercise all of the remedies conferred hereunder and under the Notes, and the Secured Parties shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. Without limitation, the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall have the following rights and powers:
(i) The Agent shall have the right to take possession of the Collateral and, for that purpose, enter, with the aid and assistance of any person, any premises where the Collateral, or any part thereof, is or may be placed and remove the same, and any Debtor shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Agent at places which the Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Debtor's premises or elsewhere, and make available to the Agent, without rent, all of such Debtor’s respective premises and facilities for the purpose of the Agent taking possession of, removing or putting the Collateral in saleable or disposable form.
(ii) Upon notice to any Debtor by Agent, all rights of such Debtor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise and all rights of such Debtor to receive the dividends and interest which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain, shall cease. Upon such notice, Agent shall have the right to receive, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, any interest, cash dividends or other payments on the Collateral and, at the option of Agent, to exercise in such Agent’s discretion all voting rights pertaining thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to exercise all rights with respect to the Collateral as it were the sole and absolute owner thereof, including, without limitation, to vote and/or to exchange, at its sole discretion, any or all of the Collateral in connection with a merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization or other readjustment concerning or involving the Collateral or any Debtor or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries.
(iii) The Agent shall have the right to operate the business of any Debtor using the Collateral and shall have the right to assign, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of and deliver all or any part of the Collateral, at public or private sale or otherwise, either with or without special conditions or stipulations, for cash or on credit or for future delivery, in such parcel or parcels and at such time or times and at such place or places, and upon such terms and conditions as the Agent may deem commercially reasonable, all without (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) advertisement or demand upon or notice to any Debtor or right of redemption of any Debtor, which are hereby expressly waived. Upon each such sale, lease, assignment or other transfer of Collateral, the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, may, unless prohibited by applicable law which cannot be waived, purchase all or any part of the Collateral being sold, free from and discharged of all trusts, claims, right of redemption and equities of any Debtor, which are hereby waived and released.
(iv) The Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to notify any account debtors and any obligors under instruments or accounts to make payments directly to the Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, and to enforce any Debtor’s rights against such account debtors and obligors.
(v) The Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, may (but is not obligated to) direct any financial intermediary or any other person or entity holding any investment property to transfer the same to the Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, or its designee.
(vi) The Agent may (but is not obligated to) transfer any or all Intellectual Property registered in the name of any Debtor at the United States Patent and Trademark Office and/or Copyright Office into the name of the Secured Parties or any designee or any purchaser of any Collateral.
(b) The Agent shall comply with any applicable law in connection with a disposition of Collateral and such compliance will not be considered adversely to affect the commercial reasonableness of any sale of the Collateral. The Agent may sell the Collateral without giving any warranties and may specifically disclaim such warranties. If the Agent sells any of the Collateral on credit, each Debtor will only be credited with payments actually made by the purchaser. In addition, each Debtor waives any and all rights that it may have to a judicial hearing in advance of the enforcement of any of the Agent’s rights and remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, its right following an Event of Default to take immediate possession of the Collateral and to exercise its rights and remedies with respect thereto.
(c) For the purpose of enabling the Agent to further exercise rights and remedies under this Section 8 or elsewhere provided by agreement or applicable law, each Debtor hereby grants to the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the Secured Parties, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Debtor) to use, license or sublicense following an Event of Default, any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Debtor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.
9. Applications of Proceeds. The proceeds of any such sale, lease or other disposition of the Collateral hereunder or from payments made on account of any insurance policy insuring any portion of the Collateral shall be applied first, to the expenses of retaking, holding, storing, processing and preparing for sale, selling, and the like (including, without limitation, any taxes, fees and other costs incurred in connection therewith) of the Collateral, to the reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Agent in enforcing the Secured Parties’ rights hereunder and in connection with collecting, storing and disposing of the Collateral, and then to satisfaction of the Obligations pro rata among the Secured Parties (based on then-outstanding principal amounts of Notes at the time of any such determination), and to the payment of any other amounts required by applicable law, after which the Secured Parties shall pay to the applicable Debtor any surplus proceeds. If, upon the sale, license or other disposition of the Collateral, the proceeds thereof are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Secured Parties are legally entitled, each Debtor will be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon, at the rate of 5% per annum or the lesser amount permitted by applicable law (the “Default Rate”), and the reasonable fees of any attorneys employed by the Secured Parties to collect such deficiency. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Debtor waives all claims, damages and demands against the Secured Parties arising out of the repossession, removal, retention or sale of the Collateral, unless due solely to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Secured Parties as determined by a final judgment (not subject to further appeal) of a court of competent jurisdiction.
10. Securities Law Provision. Each Debtor recognizes that Agent may be limited in its ability to effect a sale to the public of all or part of the Pledged Securities by reason of certain prohibitions in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or other federal or state securities laws (collectively, the “Securities Laws”), and may be compelled to resort to one or more sales to a restricted group of purchasers who may be required to agree to acquire the Pledged Securities for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Debtor agrees that sales so made may be at prices and on terms less favorable than if the Pledged Securities were sold to the public, and that Agent has no obligation to delay the sale of any Pledged Securities for the period of time necessary to register the Pledged Securities for sale to the public under the Securities Laws. Each Debtor shall cooperate with Agent in its attempt to satisfy any requirements under the Securities Laws (including, without limitation, registration thereunder if requested by Agent) applicable to the sale of the Pledged Securities by Agent.
11. Costs and Expenses. Each Debtor agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with any filing required hereunder, including without limitation, any financing statements pursuant to the UCC, continuation statements, partial releases and/or termination statements related thereto or any expenses of any searches reasonably required by the Agent. Each Debtor shall also pay all other claims and charges which in the reasonable opinion of the Agent are reasonably likely to prejudice, imperil or otherwise affect the Collateral or the Security Interests therein. Each Debtor will also, upon demand, pay to the Agent the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, which the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, may incur in connection with the creation, perfection, protection, satisfaction, foreclosure, collection or enforcement of the Security Interest and the preparation, administration, continuance, amendment or enforcement of this Agreement and pay to the Agent the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, which the Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and the Secured Parties may incur in connection with (i) the enforcement of this Agreement, (ii) the custody or preservation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, or (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Secured Parties under the Notes. Until so paid, any fees payable hereunder shall be added to the principal amount of the Notes and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
12. Responsibility for Collateral. Each Debtor assumes all liabilities and responsibility in connection with all Collateral, and the Obligations shall in no way be affected or diminished by reason of the loss, destruction, damage or theft of any of the Collateral or its unavailability for any reason. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) neither the Agent nor any Secured Party (i) has any duty (either before or after an Event of Default) to collect any amounts in respect of the Collateral or to preserve any rights relating to the Collateral, or (ii) has any obligation to clean-up or otherwise prepare the Collateral for sale, and (b) each Debtor shall remain obligated and liable under each contract or agreement included in the Collateral to be observed or performed by such Debtor thereunder. Neither the Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any such contract or agreement by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Agent or any Secured Party of any payment relating to any of the Collateral, nor shall the Agent or any Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Debtor under or pursuant to any such contract or agreement, to make inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Agent or any Secured Party in respect of the Collateral or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such contract or agreement, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to the Agent or to which the Agent or any Secured Party may be entitled at any time or times.
13. Security Interests Absolute. All rights of the Secured Parties and all obligations of each Debtor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of: (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Notes or any agreement entered into in connection with the foregoing, or any portion hereof or thereof; (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment or performance of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Notes or any other agreement entered into in connection with the foregoing; (c) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any of the Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other collateral for, or any guarantee, or any other security, for all or any of the Obligations; (d) any action by the Secured Parties to obtain, adjust, settle and cancel in its sole discretion any insurance claims or matters made or arising in connection with the Collateral; or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute any legal or equitable defense available to any Debtor, or a discharge of all or any part of the Security Interests granted hereby. Until the Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full, the rights of the Secured Parties shall continue even if the Obligations are barred for any reason, including, without limitation, the running of the statute of limitations or bankruptcy. Each Debtor expressly waives presentment, protest, notice of protest, demand, notice of nonpayment and demand for performance. In the event that at any time any transfer of any Collateral or any payment received by the Secured Parties hereunder shall be deemed by final order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have been a voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under the bankruptcy or insolvency laws of the United States, or shall be deemed to be otherwise due to any party other than the Secured Parties, then, in any such event, each Debtor’s obligations hereunder shall survive cancellation of this Agreement, and shall not be discharged or satisfied by any prior payment thereof and/or cancellation of this Agreement, but shall remain a valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof. Each Debtor waives all right to require the Secured Parties to proceed against any other person or entity or to apply any Collateral which the Secured Parties may hold at any time, or to marshal assets, or to pursue any other remedy. Each Debtor waives any defense arising by reason of the application of the statute of limitations to any obligation secured hereby.
14. Term of Agreement. This Agreement and the Security Interests shall terminate on the date on which all payments under the Notes have been indefeasibly paid in full and all other Obligations have been paid or discharged; provided, however, that all indemnities of any Debtor contained in this Agreement (including, without limitation, Annex B hereto) shall survive and remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement.
15. Power of Attorney; Further Assurances.
(a) Each Debtor authorizes the Agent, and does hereby make, constitute and appoint the Agent and its officers, agents, successors or assigns with full power of substitution, as such Debtor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with power, in the name of the Agent or such Debtor, to, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) endorse any note, checks, drafts, money orders or other instruments of payment (including payments payable under or in respect of any policy of insurance) in respect of the Collateral that may come into possession of the Agent; (ii) to sign and endorse any financing statement pursuant to the UCC or any invoice, freight or express bill, bill of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, drafts against debtors, assignments, verifications and notices in connection with accounts, and other documents relating to the Collateral; (iii) to pay or discharge taxes, liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral; (iv) to demand, collect, receipt for, compromise, settle and sue for monies due in respect of the Collateral; (v) to transfer any Intellectual Property or provide licenses respecting any Intellectual Property; and (vi) generally, at the option of the Agent, and at the expense of such Debtor, at any time, or from time to time, to execute and deliver any and all documents and instruments and to do all acts and things which the Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve and realize upon the Collateral and the Security Interests granted therein in order to effect the intent of this Agreement and the Notes all as fully and effectually as such Debtor might or could do; and each Debtor hereby ratifies all that said attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement and thereafter as long as any of the Obligations shall be outstanding. The designation set forth herein shall be deemed to amend and supersede any inconsistent provision in the Organizational Documents or other documents or agreements to which any Debtor is subject or to which any Debtor is a party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Secured Party is specifically authorized to execute and file any applications for or instruments of transfer and assignment of any patents, trademarks, copyrights or other Intellectual Property with the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office.
(b) On a continuing basis, each Debtor will make, execute, acknowledge, deliver, file and record, as the case may be, with the proper filing and recording agencies in any jurisdiction, including, without limitation, the jurisdictions indicated on Schedule C attached hereto, all such instruments, and take all such action as may reasonably be deemed necessary or advisable, or as reasonably requested by the Agent, to perfect the Security Interests granted hereunder and otherwise to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement, or for assuring and confirming to the Agent the grant or perfection of a perfected security interest in all the Collateral under the UCC.
(c) Each Debtor hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent as such Debtor’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and instead of such Debtor and in the name of such Debtor, from time to time in the Agent’s discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, pertaining to the filing, in its sole discretion, of one or more financing or continuation statements and amendments thereto, relative to any of the Collateral without the signature of such Debtor where permitted by law, which financing statements may (but need not) describe the Collateral as “all assets” or “all personal property” or words of like import, and ratifies all such actions taken by the Agent. This power of attorney is coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable for the term of this Agreement and thereafter as long as any of the Obligations shall be outstanding.
16. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be subject to the notice provision of the Purchase Agreement (as such term is defined in the Notes).
17. Other Security. To the extent that the Obligations are now or hereafter secured by property other than the Collateral or by the guarantee, endorsement or property of any other person, firm, corporation or other entity, then the Agent shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to pursue, relinquish, subordinate, modify or take any other action with respect thereto, without in any way modifying or affecting any of the Secured Parties’ rights and remedies hereunder.
18. Appointment of Agent; Fees. The Secured Parties hereby appoint Helena Global Investment Opportunities 1 Ltd., to act as their agent (“Agent”) for purposes of exercising any and all rights and remedies of the Secured Parties hereunder.

The Agent shall have the rights, responsibilities and immunities set forth in Annex B hereto and the Company shall pay a one-time, non-refundable fee of $[ ] to Agent in consideration of acting in such capacity.
19. Miscellaneous.
(a) No course of dealing between any Debtor and the Secured Parties, nor any failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Secured Parties, any right, power or privilege hereunder or under the Notes shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
(b) All of the rights and remedies of the Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral, whether established hereby or by the Notes or by any other agreements, instruments or documents or by law shall be cumulative and may be exercised singly or concurrently.
(c) This Agreement, together with the exhibits and schedules hereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into this Agreement and the exhibits and schedules hereto. No provision of this Agreement may be waived, modified, supplemented or amended except in a written instrument signed, in the case of an amendment, by any Debtor and the Secured Parties holding 51% or more of the principal amount of Notes then outstanding, or, in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom enforcement of any such waived provision is sought.
(d) If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
(e) No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.
(f) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The Company and each Debtor may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Secured Party (other than by merger). Any Secured Party may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) to whom such Secured Party assigns or transfers any Obligations, provided such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Obligations, by the provisions of this Agreement that apply to the “Secured Parties.”
(g) Each party shall take such further action and execute and deliver such further documents as may be necessary or appropriate in order to carry out the provisions and purposes of this Agreement.
(h) Except to the extent mandatorily governed by the jurisdiction or situs where the Collateral is located, all questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Except to the extent mandatorily governed by the jurisdiction or situs where the Collateral is located, each Debtor agrees that all proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Notes (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan. Except to the extent mandatorily governed by the jurisdiction or situs where the Collateral is located, each Debtor hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such proceeding is improper. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
(i) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature were the original thereof.
(j) Each Debtor shall be liable for the obligations of such Debtor to the Secured Parties hereunder.
(k) Each Debtor shall indemnify, reimburse and hold harmless the Agent and the Secured Parties and their respective partners, members, shareholders, officers, directors, employees and agents (and any other persons with other titles that have similar functions) (collectively, “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, claims, liabilities, damages, penalties, suits, costs and expenses, of any kind or nature, (including fees relating to the cost of investigating and defending any of the foregoing) imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitee in any way related to or arising from or alleged to arise from this Agreement or the Collateral, except any such losses, claims, liabilities, damages, penalties, suits, costs and expenses which result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitee as determined by a final, nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. This indemnification provision is in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other indemnification provision in the Notes, the Purchase Agreement (as such term is defined in the Notes) or any other agreement, instrument or other document executed or delivered in connection herewith or therewith.
(l) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to subject Agent or any Secured Party to liability as a partner in any Debtor or any if its direct or indirect subsidiaries that is a partnership or as a member in any Debtor or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries that is a limited liability company, nor shall Agent or any Secured Party be deemed to have assumed any obligations under any partnership agreement or limited liability company agreement, as applicable, of any such Debtor or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries or otherwise, unless and until any such Secured Party exercises its right to be substituted for such Debtor as a partner or member, as applicable, pursuant hereto.
(m) To the extent that the grant of the security interest in the Collateral and the enforcement of the terms hereof require the consent, approval or action of any partner or member, as applicable, of any Debtor or any direct or indirect subsidiary of any Debtor or compliance with any provisions of any of the Organizational Documents, such Debtor hereby grants such consent and approval and waives any such noncompliance with the terms of said documents.

ANNEX B
to
SECURITY
AGREEMENT
THE AGENT
1. Appointment. The Secured Parties (all capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings provided in the Security Agreement to which this Annex B is attached (the “Agreement”)), by their acceptance of the benefits of the Agreement, hereby designate Helena Global Investment Opportunities 1 Ltd. (“Agent”) as the Agent to act as specified herein and in the Agreement. Each Secured Party shall be deemed irrevocably to authorize the Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of the Agreement and any other Transaction Document (as such term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Agent by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through its agents or employees.
2. Nature of Duties. The Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in the Agreement. Neither the Agent nor any of its partners, members, shareholders, officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by it as such under the Agreement or hereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, be responsible for the consequence of any oversight or error of judgment or answerable for any loss, unless caused solely by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment (not subject to further appeal) of a court of competent jurisdiction. The duties of the Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Agent shall not have by reason of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Debtor or any Secured Party; and nothing in the Agreement or any other Transaction Document, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Agent any obligations in respect of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document except as expressly set forth herein and therein.
3. Lack of Reliance on the Agent. Independently and without reliance upon the Agent, each Secured Party, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries in connection with such Secured Party’s investment in the Debtors, the creation and continuance of the Obligations, the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, and the taking or not taking of any action in connection therewith, and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Company and its subsidiaries, and of the value of the Collateral from time to time, and the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Secured Party with any credit, market or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before any Obligations are incurred or at any time or times thereafter. The Agent shall not be responsible to the Debtors or any Secured Party for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith, or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectibility, priority or sufficiency of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or for the financial condition of the Debtors or the value of any of the Collateral, or be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or the financial condition of the Debtors, or the value of any of the Collateral, or the existence or possible existence of any default or Event of Default under the Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Transaction Documents.
4. Certain Rights of the Agent. The Agent shall have the right to take any action with respect to the Collateral, on behalf of all of the Secured Parties. To the extent practical, the Agent shall request instructions from the Secured Parties with respect to any material act or action (including failure to act) in connection with the Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and shall be entitled to act or refrain from acting in accordance with the instructions of a Majority in Interest; if such instructions are not provided despite the Agent’s request therefor, the Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action, and if such action is taken, shall be entitled to appropriate indemnification from the Secured Parties in respect of actions to be taken by the Agent; and the Agent shall not incur liability to any person or entity by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, (a) no Secured Party shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the terms of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and the Debtors shall have no right to question or challenge the authority of, or the instructions given to, the Agent pursuant to the foregoing and (b) the Agent shall not be required to take any action which the Agent believes (i) could reasonably be expected to expose it to personal liability or (ii) is contrary to this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or applicable law.
5. Reliance. The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone message signed, sent or made by the proper person or entity, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to the Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and its duties thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it and upon all other matters pertaining to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and its duties thereunder, upon advice of other experts selected by it. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Secured Party to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Debtors or is cared for, protected or insured or that the liens granted pursuant to the Agreement have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority.
6. Indemnification. To the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Debtors, the Secured Parties will jointly and severally reimburse and indemnify the Agent, in proportion to their initially purchased respective principal amounts of Notes, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in performing its duties hereunder or under the Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or in any way relating to or arising out of the Agreement or any other Transaction Document except for those determined by a final judgment (not subject to further appeal) of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the Agent's own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Prior to taking any action hereunder as Agent, the Agent may require each Secured Party to deposit with it sufficient sums as it determines in good faith is necessary to protect the Agent for costs and expenses associated with taking such action.
7. Resignation by the Agent.
(a) The Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties under the Agreement and the other Transaction Documents at any time by giving 30 days' prior written notice (as provided in the Agreement) to the Debtors and the Secured Parties. Such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a successor Agent pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) below.
(b) Upon any such notice of resignation, the Secured Parties, acting by a Majority in Interest, shall appoint a successor Agent hereunder.
(c) If a successor Agent shall not have been so appointed within said 30-day period, the Agent shall then appoint a successor Agent who shall serve as Agent until such time, if any, as the Secured Parties appoint a successor Agent as provided above. If a successor Agent has not been appointed within such 30-day period, the Agent may petition any court of competent jurisdiction or may interplead the Debtors and the Secured Parties in a proceeding for the appointment of a successor Agent, and all fees, including, but not limited to, extraordinary fees associated with the filing of interpleader and expenses associated therewith, shall be payable by the Debtors on demand.
8. Rights with respect to Collateral. Each Secured Party agrees with all other Secured Parties and the Agent (i) that it shall not, and shall not attempt to, exercise any rights with respect to its security interest in the Collateral, whether pursuant to any other agreement or otherwise (other than pursuant to this Agreement), or take or institute any action against the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties in respect of the Collateral or its rights hereunder (other than any such action arising from the breach of this Agreement) and (ii) that such Secured Party has no other rights with respect to the Collateral other than as set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Agreement. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of the Agreement including this Annex B shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent.

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEE, dated as of December __, 2023 (this “Guarantee”), made by Filament Health Corp., a company organized under the laws of British Columbia (“Filament”) and Psilo Scientific Corp., a company organized under the laws of British Columbia (“Psilo” and, together with Filament and any other entity that may become a party hereto as provided herein, the “Guarantors” and each, individually, a “Guarantor”), in favor of the purchasers signatory (together with their permitted assigns, the “Purchasers”), to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among 1427702 B.C. Ltd., a company organized under the laws of British Columbia (the “Company”), and the Purchasers (the “Purchase Agreement”).
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to sell and issue to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers have agreed to purchase from the Company the Notes, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein; and
WHEREAS, the Company is the holder of 100% of the equity interests of Filament; and
WHEREAS, Filament is the holder of 100% of the equity interests of Psilo; and
WHEREAS, each Guarantor will directly benefit from the extension of the loans to the Company represented by the issuance of the Notes.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and to induce the Purchasers to enter into the Purchase Agreement and to carry out the transactions contemplated thereby; each Guarantor hereby agrees with the Purchasers as follows:
1. Definitions. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Purchase Agreement and used herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Purchase Agreement. The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereto” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Guarantee shall refer to this Guarantee as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Guarantee, and Section and Schedule references are to this Guarantee unless otherwise specified. The meanings given to terms defined herein shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms. The following terms shall have the following meanings:
“Guarantee” means this Subsidiary Guarantee, as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.
“Obligations” means, in addition to all other costs and expenses of collection incurred by Purchasers in enforcing any of such “Obligations” (as defined in the Security Agreement) and/or this Guarantee, all of the liabilities and obligations (primary, secondary, direct, contingent, sole, joint or several) due or to become due, or that are now or may be hereafter contracted or acquired, or owing to, of the Company or any Guarantor to the Purchasers under this Guarantee, the Notes, the Purchase Agreement and any other instruments, agreements or other documents executed and/or delivered in connection herewith or therewith, in each case, whether now or hereafter existing, voluntary or involuntary, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, whether or not jointly owed with others, and whether or not from time to time decreased or extinguished and later increased, created or incurred, and all or any portion of such obligations or liabilities that are paid, to the extent all or any part of such payment is avoided or recovered directly or indirectly from any of the Purchasers as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise as such obligations may be amended, supplemented, converted, extended or modified from time to time. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the term “Obligations” shall include, without limitation: (i) principal of, and interest on the Notes and the loans extended pursuant thereto, (ii) any and all other fees, indemnities, costs, obligations and liabilities of the Company or any Guarantor from time to time under or in connection with this Guarantee, the Notes and any other instruments, agreements or other documents executed and/or delivered in connection herewith or therewith, and (iii) all amounts (including but not limited to post-petition interest) in respect of the foregoing that would be payable but for the fact that the obligations to pay such amounts are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving the Company or any Guarantor.
2. Guarantee.
(a) Guarantee.
(i) The Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantee to the Purchasers and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations.
(ii) Anything herein or in any other Transaction Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws, including laws relating to the insolvency of debtors, fraudulent conveyance or transfer or laws affecting the rights of creditors generally (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 2(b)).
(iii) Each Guarantor agrees that the Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of the Purchasers hereunder.
(iv) The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect until all the Obligations and the obligations of each Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall have been satisfied by indefeasible payment in full.
(v) No payment made by the Company, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Purchasers from the Company, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations), remain liable for the Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full.
(vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guarantee, with respect to any defaulted non-monetary Obligations the specific performance of which by the Guarantors is not reasonably possible (e.g., the issuance of the Company’s Common Shares), the Guarantors shall only be liable for making the Purchasers whole on a monetary basis for the Company’s failure to perform such Obligations in accordance with the Transaction Documents.
(b) Right of Contribution. Subject to Section 2(c), each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2(c). The provisions of this Section 2(b) shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Purchasers and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Purchasers for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder until the indefeasible repayment in full of all amounts owed under the Purchase Agreement, the Notes and the other Transaction Documents.
(c) No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by the Purchasers, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Purchasers against the Company or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Purchasers for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Company or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Purchasers by the Company on account of the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Purchasers, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Purchasers in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Purchasers, if required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Purchasers may determine.
(d) Amendments, Etc. With Respect to the Obligations. Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by the Purchasers may be rescinded by the Purchasers and any of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Purchasers, and the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Purchasers may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Purchasers for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. The Purchasers shall have no obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by them as security for the Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or any property subject thereto.
(e) Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Purchasers upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 2; the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2; and all dealings between the Company and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Purchasers, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2. Each Guarantor waives to the extent permitted by law diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Company or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment and performance without regard to: (a) the validity or enforceability of the Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document, any of the Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Purchasers, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance or fraud by Purchasers) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Company or any other Person against the Purchasers, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Company or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Company for the Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the Purchasers may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as they may have against the Company, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Purchasers to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Company, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Company, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Purchasers against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof, “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.
(f) Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Purchasers upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Company or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Company or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.
(g) Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Purchasers without set-off or counterclaim in U.S. dollars at the address set forth or referred to in the signature pages to the Purchase Agreement.
3. Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor hereby makes the following representations and warranties to Purchasers as of the date hereof:
(a) Organization and Qualification. The Guarantor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction set forth on Schedule 1, with the requisite corporate power and authority to own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business as currently conducted. The Guarantor has no subsidiaries other than those identified as such on the Disclosure Schedules to the Purchase Agreement. The Guarantor is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, could not, individually or in the aggregate,(x) adversely affect the legality, validity or enforceability of any of this Guaranty in any material respect, (y) have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, prospects, or financial condition of the Guarantor, or (z) adversely impair in any material respect the Guarantor’s ability to perform fully on a timely basis its obligations under this Guaranty (a “Material Adverse Effect”).
(b) Authorization; Enforcement. The Guarantor has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Guaranty, and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery of this Guaranty by the Guarantor and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of the Guarantor. This Guaranty has been duly executed and delivered by the Guarantor and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’ rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.
(c) No Conflicts. Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Schedules to the Purchase Agreement, the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty by the Guarantor and the consummation by the Guarantor of the transactions contemplated thereby do not and will not: (i) conflict with or violate any provision of its Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws or (ii) conflict with, constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Guarantor is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority to which the Guarantor is subject (including Federal and State securities laws and regulations), or by which any material property or asset of the Guarantor is bound or affected, except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, accelerations, cancellations and violations as could not, individually or in the aggregate, have or result in a Material Adverse Effect. The business of the Guarantor is not being conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental authority, except for violations which, individually or in the aggregate, do not have a Material Adverse Effect.
(d) Consents and Approvals. Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Schedules to the Purchase Agreement, the Guarantor is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local, foreign or other governmental authority or other person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Guarantor of this Guaranty.
(e) Purchase Agreement. The representations and warranties of the Company set forth in the Purchase Agreement as they relate to such Guarantor, each of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference, are true and correct as of each time such representations are deemed to be made pursuant to such Purchase Agreement, and the Purchasers shall be entitled to rely on each of them as if they were fully set forth herein, provided that each reference in each such representation and warranty to the Company’s knowledge shall, for the purposes of this Section 3, be deemed to be a reference to such Guarantor’s knowledge.
(f) Foreign Law. Each Guarantor has consulted with appropriate foreign legal counsel with respect to any of the above representations for which non-U.S. law is applicable. Such foreign counsel has advised each applicable Guarantor that such counsel knows of no reason why any of the above representations would not be true and accurate. Such foreign counsel was provided with copies of this Subsidiary Guarantee and the Transaction Documents prior to rendering their advice.
4. Covenants.
(a) Each Guarantor covenants and agrees with the Purchasers that, from and after the date of this Guarantee until the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, such Guarantor shall take, and/or shall refrain from taking, as the case may be, each commercially reasonable action that is necessary to be taken or not taken, as the case may be, so that no Event of Default (as defined in the Notes) is caused by the failure to take such action or to refrain from taking such action by such Guarantor.
(b) So long as any of the Obligations are outstanding, unless Purchasers holding at least 51% of the aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes shall otherwise consent in writing, each Guarantor will not directly or indirectly on or after the date of this Guarantee:
i. enter into, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any indebtedness for borrowed money of any kind, including but not limited to, a guarantee, on or with respect to any of its property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom;
ii. enter into, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any liens of any kind, on or with respect to any of its property or assets now owned or hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom;
iii. amend its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other charter documents so as to adversely affect any rights of any Purchaser;
iv. repay, repurchase or offer to repay, repurchase or otherwise acquire more than a de minimis number of shares of its securities or debt obligations;
v. pay cash dividends on any equity securities of such Guarantor other than dividends paid to another Guarantor or to the Company;
vi. enter into any transaction with any Affiliate of the Guarantor which would be required to be disclosed in any public filing of the Company with the Commission, unless such transaction is made on an arm’s-length basis and expressly approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company (even if less than a quorum otherwise required for board approval); or
vii. enter into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.
5. Miscellaneous.
(a) Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Guarantee may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in writing by the Purchasers holding a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes.
(b) Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Purchasers or any Guarantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in the Purchase Agreement, provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Guarantor shall be addressed to such Guarantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 5(b).
(c) No Waiver By Course Of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. The Purchasers shall not by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 5(a)), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any default under the Transaction Documents or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Purchasers, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Purchasers of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Purchasers would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.
(d) Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification.
(i) Each Guarantor agrees to pay, or reimburse the Purchasers for, all its costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in Section 2 or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Guarantee and the other Transaction Documents to which such Guarantor is a party, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Purchasers.
(ii) Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Purchasers harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Guarantee.
(iii) Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Purchasers harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Guarantee to the extent the Company would be required to do so pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
(iv) The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
(e) Successor and Assigns. This Guarantee shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchasers and their respective successors and assigns; provided that no Guarantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Guarantee without the prior written consent of the Purchasers.
(f) Set-Off. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes each Purchaser at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default under any of the Transaction Documents shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to such Guarantor or any other Guarantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Guarantor, to set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits, credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Purchaser to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor, or any part thereof in such amounts as such Purchaser may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of such Guarantor to the Purchaser hereunder and claims of every nature and description of such Purchaser against such Guarantor, in any currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Purchase Agreement, any other Transaction Document or otherwise, as such Purchaser may elect, whether or not such Purchaser has made any demand for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. A Purchaser shall notify such Guarantor and the Agent named in the Security Agreement promptly of any such set-off and the application made by such Purchaser of the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Purchasers under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Purchasers may have.
(g) Counterparts. This Guarantee may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Guarantee on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.
(h) Severability. Any provision of this Guarantee which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
(i) Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Guarantee are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.
(j) Integration. This Guarantee and the other Transaction Documents represent the agreement of the Guarantors and the Purchasers with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Purchasers relative to subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Transaction Documents.
(k) Governing Laws. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Guarantee shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each of the Company and the Guarantors agree that all proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Guarantee (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan. Each of the Company and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such proceeding is improper. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Guarantee and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guarantee or the transactions contemplated hereby.
(l) Acknowledgements. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that:
(i) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Guarantee and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party;
(ii) the Purchasers have no fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Guarantor arising out of or in connection with this Guarantee or any of the other Transaction Documents, and the relationship between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Purchasers, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

Section 4.2 Dissenting Shareholders who duly exercise their Arrangement Dissent Rights and are ultimately entitled to be paid by the Company the fair value for their Company Shares (a) shall be deemed to not have participated in the transactions in Article 3 (other than Section 3.1(b)); (b) shall be deemed to have transferred and assigned such Company Shares held by them in respect of which Arrangement Dissent Rights have been validly exercised to the Company, free and clear of all Liens, in accordance with Section 3.1(b); (c) will be entitled to be paid the fair value of such Company Shares by the Company, which fair value, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the BCBCA, shall be determined as of the close of business on the day before the Company Arrangement Resolution was adopted at the Company Shareholders Meeting; and (d) will not be entitled to any other payment or consideration, including any payment that would be payable under the Arrangement had such Dissenting Shareholders not exercised their Arrangement Dissent Rights in respect of such Company Shares.
Section 4.3 Dissenting Shareholders who are ultimately not entitled, for any reason, to be paid by the Company the fair value for their Company Shares, shall be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement in respect of those Company Shares on the same basis as a non-Dissenting Shareholder, and shall be entitled to receive their portion of the Exchange Consideration from TopCo in the same manner as such a non-Dissenting Shareholder, provided such Dissenting Shareholders comply with Article 5 of this Plan of Arrangement.
Section 4.4 In no case shall TopCo, the Company, the Exchange Agent or any other Person be required to recognize a Dissenting Shareholder as a holder of Company Shares or any interest therein (other than the rights set out in this Article 4) at or after the Effective Time and the name of each such Dissenting Shareholder shall be removed as the registered holder of such Company Shares from the applicable securities register of the Company maintained by or on behalf of the Company as at the Effective Time, as provided in Section 3.1(b).
Section 4.5 For greater certainty, in addition to any other restrictions in the Interim Order, no Person shall be entitled to exercise Arrangement Dissent Rights with respect to Company Shares in respect of which a Person has voted in person or has instructed a proxyholder to vote in favour of the Company Arrangement Resolution at the Company Shareholders Meeting.
Section 4.6 No Arrangement Dissent Rights shall be available to Company Optionholders, Company Warrantholders, holders of Company RSUs or Company Noteholders in connection with the Arrangement.
Article 5
CERTIFICATES AND PAYMENTS
Section 5.1 Prior to the Effective Time, TopCo will deposit or cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of and to be held on behalf of the Company Shareholders entitled to receive the Exchange Consideration in accordance with Section 3.1(c)(xi), evidence of the Exchange Consideration in the book-entry form, provided that no Exchange Consideration will be deemed to be issued or delivered to any Company Shareholder unless and until such Company Shareholder shall have executed and delivered the Letter of Transmittal required by Section 3.1(c)(xi). All TopCo Common Shares and Company Earnout Shares issued as part of the Exchange Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1(c)(xi) shall be deemed to be validly issued and outstanding as fully paid and non-assessable shares for the purposes of the BCBCA.
Section 5.2 Following the deposit with the Exchange Agent of evidence of the Exchange Consideration in accordance with Section 5.1, TopCo will be fully and completely discharged from its obligation to pay the Exchange Consideration to the Company Shareholders pursuant to Section 3.1(c)(xi), and the rights of such holders will be limited to receiving, from the Exchange Agent, the TopCo Common Shares and the Company Earnout Shares to which they are entitled in accordance with this Plan of Arrangement. After the Effective Time and until surrendered for cancellation as contemplated by this Article 5, each certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more Company Shares shall be deemed at all times to represent only the right to receive in exchange therefor the Exchange Consideration in book-entry form, that the holder of such certificate is entitled to receive in accordance with Section 3.1(c)(xi).
Section 5.3 Until such time as a Company Shareholder deposits with the Exchange Agent a duly completed Letter of Transmittal and such documents, certificates and instruments contemplated by the Letter of Transmittal and such other documents and instruments as the Exchange Agent or TopCo reasonably require, that Company Shareholder will not be entitled to the Exchange Consideration, and no Exchange Consideration will be deemed to be issued or delivered to that Company Shareholder and any evidence of the Exchange Consideration to which such Company Shareholder would otherwise be entitled will, in each case, be held by the Exchange Agent as agent on behalf of and for the benefit of such Company Shareholder for issuance and delivery to such Company Shareholder, without interest and net of all applicable withholdings and other taxes, if any, upon delivery of the Letter of Transmittal, and such documents, certificates and instruments contemplated by the Letter of Transmittal, and such other documents, certificates and instruments as the Exchange Agent or TopCo reasonably require, subject to the provisions of this Article 5.
Section 5.4 Upon surrender to the Exchange Agent for cancellation of a certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof in the form required by TopCo and the Exchange Agent) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented one or more Company Shares, or in the case of Company Shares held in the book-entry form, a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, and such additional documents, certificates and instruments as TopCo, the Company and the Exchange Agent may reasonably require, the holder of such surrendered certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof), or the deliverer of such Letter of Transmittal, as applicable, will be entitled to receive, and the Exchange Agent will, as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, deliver to such holder, evidence of the Exchange Consideration, in book entry form, to which such holder is entitled under the Arrangement, and any certificate so surrendered will forthwith be cancelled.
Section 5.5 If any portion of the Exchange Consideration is to be issued to a Person other than the Company Shareholder in whose name the surrendered certificate or the transferred Company Share in book-entry form is registered, it shall be a condition to the issuance of the applicable portion of the Exchange Consideration that (a) either such certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Company Share in book-entry form shall be properly transferred and (b) the Person requesting such consideration pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer Taxes required as a result of such consideration being issued to a Person other than the registered holder of such certificate or Company Share in book-entry form or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such transfer Taxes have been paid or are not payable.
Section 5.6 No interest will be paid or accrued on the Exchange Consideration (or any portion thereof). From and after the Effective Time, until surrendered or transferred, as applicable, in accordance with this Article 5, each Company Share shall solely represent the right to receive a portion of the Exchange Consideration to which such Company Share is entitled to receive in accordance with the Allocation Schedule.
Section 5.7 Any portion of the aggregate Exchange Consideration or the evidence thereof that remains unclaimed by the Company Shareholders six (6) years following the Effective Time shall be delivered to TopCo or as otherwise instructed by TopCo, and any right or claim to payment under the Plan of Arrangement that remains outstanding six (6) years following the Effective Date shall cease to represent a right or claim of any kind or nature, and the right of the Company Shareholders to receive the applicable portion of the aggregate Exchange Consideration in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement shall terminate and be deemed to be surrendered and forfeited to TopCo, for no consideration.
Section 5.8 In no event will any Person be entitled to a fractional TopCo Common Share or fractional Company Earnout Share. Where the aggregate number of TopCo Common Shares or Company Earnout Shares to be issued to a Person pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement would result in a fraction of a TopCo Common Share or Company Earnout Share being issuable, the number of TopCo Common Shares and Company Earnout Shares to be received by such Person will be rounded down to the nearest whole TopCo Common Share or Company Earnout Share, as the case may be.
Section 5.9 No dividend or other distribution declared or made after the Effective Time with respect to the Exchange Consideration with a record date after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the holder of any unsurrendered certificate that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented outstanding Company Shares unless and until the holder of such certificate shall have complied with the provisions of Article 5. Subject to applicable Law and to Section 6.1, at the time of such compliance, there shall, in addition to the delivery of evidence of the portion of the Exchange Consideration to which such holder is entitled under the Arrangement, be delivered to such holder, without interest, the amount of the dividend or other distribution with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such Exchange Consideration.

To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Plan of Arrangement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. If any Withholding Agent determines that any amount payable pursuant to this Plan of Arrangement is subject to deduction and/or withholding (other than any deduction or withholding required in respect of compensatory amounts), then such Withholding Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) provide notice to such Person of any such deduction or withholding as soon as reasonably practicable after such determination, and (ii) cooperate in good faith to eliminate or reduce any such deduction or withholding (including through the request and provision of any statements, forms or other documents to reduce or eliminate any such deduction or withholding). |
| (b) | Without limiting the foregoing, each Withholding Agent, as applicable, is hereby authorized to sell, on the open market and with customary commercial terms, to a Person that is not SPAC or any of its Affiliates, on behalf of and for the benefit of such Person and in accordance with Section 6.2(c) below, such portion of the Company Shareholder Transaction Consideration as is necessary to provide sufficient funds to the Withholding Agent to enable it to comply with such deduction and withholding requirement and the Withholding Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify such Person thereof and shall remit the applicable portion of the net proceeds of such sale to the appropriate Governmental Authority and, if applicable, any portion of such net proceeds that it is not required to be so remitted shall be paid to such Person. |
| (c) | To the extent any Withholding Agent sells any portion of the Exchange Consideration as contemplated under Section 6.2(b) above, (i) the Withholding Agent shall be acting on behalf of and for the benefit of the Person in respect of which the relevant deduction or withholding is made, solely as an agent of such Person, for administrative convenience, (ii) such Person shall be treated as the seller, and prior to the sale, the beneficial owner of such Exchange Consideration for all Tax purposes, including Tax reporting, and (iii) such Person shall be responsible for, and hold the Withholding Agent and each of its respective representatives and Affiliates, harmless from, any Taxes arising as a result of the sale of such Person’s Exchange Consideration. Any costs or expenses incurred by the relevant Withholding Agent in connection with such sale shall be borne by, and deducted from the payment of any net proceeds of such sale to, the applicable Person. |

| (b) | the director has waived notice of the meeting. |
17.8 Meeting Valid Despite Failure to Give Notice. The accidental omission to give notice of any meeting of directors to any director, or the non-receipt of any notice by any director, does not invalidate any proceedings at that meeting.

Such resolution may be in two or more counterparts which together are deemed to constitute one resolution in writing. A resolution passed in that manner is effective on the date stated in the resolution or, if no date is stated in the resolution, on the latest date stated on any counterpart. A resolution of the directors or of any committee of the directors passed in accordance with this Article 17.12 is deemed to be a proceeding at a meeting of directors or of the committee of the directors and to be as valid and effective as if it had been passed at a meeting of the directors or of the committee of the directors that satisfies all the requirements of the Business Corporations Act and all the requirements of these Articles relating to meetings of the directors or of a committee of the directors.

| (d) | In case of any merger, amalgamation, consolidation, arrangement, reorganization or other business combination involving the Company and any other corporation or other entity or Person in which the Common Shares are converted into or exchanged for shares or other securities or property (in each case, other than a Change of Control), then in the event of a subsequent Class B Automatic Conversion Event, the Class B Non-Voting Common Shares shall thereafter be convertible (or shall be converted into a security which shall be convertible) into the kind and amount of shares or other securities or property to which a holder of Common Shares would have been entitled upon such event if the holder held the number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of such Class B Non-Voting Common Shares as of immediately prior to such event; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Company) shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Article 30.6(d) with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the holders of the Class B Non-Voting Common Shares, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Article 30.6(d) (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Class B Conversion Rate) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Class B Non-Voting Common Shares. |

Upon the occurrence of a Class B Automatic Conversion Event, all the then issued and outstanding Class B Non-Voting Common Shares shall be converted automatically in accordance with Article 30.6 without any further action by the holders thereof and whether or not the certificates (if any) representing such shares are surrendered to the Company or its transfer agent.

On the occurrence of a Class B Automatic Conversion Event, all rights with respect to the Class B Non-Voting Common Shares so converted shall terminate, except for the right of the holder thereof to receive the number of Common Shares into which such Class B Non-Voting Common Shares have been converted under these Articles. Upon the occurrence of a Class B Automatic Conversion Event, any certificates representing the applicable Class B Non-Voting Common Shares shall cease to have or to represent any rights with respect to such Class B Non-Voting Common Shares and shall represent only the right of the holder to receive the Common Shares into which they were converted under these Articles. The Company or its agent shall, promptly upon request of any holder whose Class B Non-Voting Common Shares have been converted into Common Shares and upon surrender by such holder to the Company of the outstanding certificate(s) formerly representing such Class B Non-Voting Common Shares (if any) at the registered office of the Company or of its transfer agent, issue and deliver to such holder, a certificate or certificates or written acknowledgment for the number of Common Shares into which the Class B Non-Voting Common Shares were converted at the Class B Automatic Conversion Time (to the extent the Common Shares are certificated).

Subject to Section 79 of the Business Corporations Act, if a Class C Automatic Conversion Event has not occurred with respect to the Class C Non-Voting Common Shares on or prior to the completion of the Earnout Period, the Company shall, promptly following the completion of the Earnout Period and provision of the notice referred to in Article 33.2, redeem the whole of the then outstanding Class C Non-Voting Common Shares by paying to or to the order of each registered holder thereof an amount equal to the greater of (i) the aggregate Redemption Price in respect of all Class C Non-Voting Common Shares held, and (ii) USD$0.01, upon surrender of the certificate(s) (if any) representing such shares or presentation of the notice referred to in Article 33.2 by such registered holder to the Company or its transfer agent. Such shares will thereupon be and be deemed to be redeemed and will be cancelled. If a registered holder of such shares fails to promptly surrender the certificate(s) (if any) representing such shares or present the notice referred to in Article 33.2 to the Company or its transfer agent, the Company will have the right to deposit the amount so payable to such registered holder as above provided into a special account in any chartered bank or trust company in Canada to be paid without interest to or to the order of such registered holder upon surrender or presentation to the bank or trust company of the certificate(s) (if any) representing such shares or the notice referred to in Article 33.2. Upon the deposit being made, the shares in respect of which such deposit was made will be deemed to be redeemed and will be cancelled, and the rights of such registered holder after such deposit will be limited to receiving without interest his, her, or its proportionate share of the total amount so deposited less any charges by the bank or trust company.

32.5 Limits on Transferability.
None of the Class C Non-Voting Common Shares may be Transferred other than in a Permitted Transfer without the prior approval of the board of directors. Class C Non-Voting Common Shares may only be Transferred in a Permitted Transfer if:
(a) the Company is satisfied that the Transfer is a Permitted Transfer; and
(b) the transferring holder and the Permitted Transferee enter into a written agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company providing such assurances as the Company may require relating to, among other things:
(i) the eligibility of the Transfer as a Permitted Transfer;
(ii) the Permitted Transferee’s acknowledgement of the transfer restrictions in respect of the Class C Non-Voting Common Shares being transferred; and
(iii) the Permitted Transferee’s agreement to be bound by all of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the transferring holder to the Company in respect of (x) matters relating to the Class C Non-Voting Common Shares and (y) the transferring holder’s ownership of the Class C Non-Voting Common Shares.
The Company shall not register, and no holder shall have any right to request, any Transfer of the registered ownership of any Class C Non-Voting Common Shares not made in accordance with this Article 32.5. For greater certainty, no holder shall be entitled to pledge, mortgage, exchange, hypothecate or grant a security interest or encumbrance in any Class C Non-Voting Common Shares..
32.6 Conversion Provisions.
Unless and until adjusted as provided for in this Article 32.6, upon the occurrence of a Class C Automatic Conversion Event, each Class C Non-Voting Common Share shall be converted into Common Shares on a 1:1 basis (the “Class C Conversion Rate”).
(a) No fractional Common Shares shall be issued upon conversion of the Class C Non-Voting Common Shares. All Common Shares (including fractions thereof) issuable upon conversion of more than one Class C Non-Voting Common Share by a holder thereof shall be aggregated for the purpose of determining whether the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after the aforementioned aggregation, the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional Common Share, the holder shall be entitled to the number of Common Shares determined by rounding the entitlement down to the nearest whole number.
(b) If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date effect a subdivision of the outstanding Common Shares, the Class C Non-Voting Common Shares shall be similarly subdivided at the same time (failing which the Class C Conversion Rate shall be adjusted accordingly). If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date effect a consolidation of the outstanding Common Shares, the Class C Non-Voting Common Shares shall be similarly consolidated at the same time (failing which the Class C Conversion Rate shall be adjusted accordingly). In each case, the Redemption Price shall be appropriately adjusted to provide the holders of the Class C Non-Voting Common Shares the same economic effect as contemplated by these Articles prior to such event.
(c) If the Common Shares of the Company shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class, whether by capital reorganization, reclassification, or otherwise (other than a subdivision or combination of shares, or a reorganization, merger, amalgamation, arrangement, consolidation, business combination or sale of assets provided for below), then in the event of a subsequent Class C Automatic Conversion Event, the holders of the Class C Non-Voting Common Shares shall be entitled to receive, upon conversion thereof, the kind and amount of shares or other securities or property that would have otherwise been receivable upon such reorganization, reclassification or other change by a holder of Common Shares holding the number of Common Shares into which such Class C Non-Voting Common Shares would have been converted as of immediately prior to such reorganization, reclassification or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.
| -31- | FASKEN MARTINEAU DUMOULIN LLP |
| (d) | In case of any merger, amalgamation, consolidation, arrangement, reorganization or other business combination involving the Company and any other corporation or other entity or Person in which the Common Shares are converted into or exchanged for shares or other securities or property (in each case, other than a Change of Control), then in the event of a subsequent Class C Automatic Conversion Event, the Class C Non-Voting Common Shares shall thereafter be convertible (or shall be converted into a security which shall be convertible) into the kind and amount of shares or other securities or property to which a holder of Common Shares would have been entitled upon such event if the holder held the number of Common Shares issuable upon conversion of such Class C Non-Voting Common Shares as of immediately prior to such event; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Company) shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Article 32.6(d) with respect to the rights and interest thereafter of the holders of the Class C Non-Voting Common Shares, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Article 32.6(d) (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Class C Conversion Rate) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other securities or property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Class C Non-Voting Common Shares. |
Part 33
AUTOMATIC CONVERSIONS OF CLASS C NON-VOTING COMMON SHARES
33.1 Automatic Conversion of Class C Non-Voting Common Shares.
All Class C Non-Voting Common Shares shall be converted automatically into Common Shares in accordance with the provisions set forth in Article 32.6 and this Part 33 if, at any time during the Earnout Period:
| (a) | on any twenty (20) Trading Days within any thirty (30) Trading Day period, the Trading Price of the Common Shares is greater than or equal to USD$15.00 (subject to the adjustment provisions set forth in Article 32.6) (a “Class C Earnout Trigger Event”); or |
(b) any transaction resulting in a Change of Control is consummated
(the occurrence of any event in clause (a) or (b), as applicable, a “Class C Automatic Conversion Event”).
33.2 Automatic Conversion.
Upon the occurrence of a Class C Automatic Conversion Event, all the then issued and outstanding Class C Non-Voting Common Shares shall be converted automatically in accordance with Article 32.6 without any further action by the holders thereof and whether or not the certificates (if any) representing such shares are surrendered to the Company or its transfer agent. The Company shall provide all holders of the Class C Non-Voting Common Shares written notice as promptly as practicable following (a) the date of a Class C Automatic Conversion Event informing the holders of the occurrence of a Class C Automatic Conversion Event or (b) the final date of the Earnout Period that a Class C Earnout Trigger Event was not satisfied as of the end of the Earnout Period and that the Class C Non-Voting Common Shares will be redeemed in accordance with these Articles. In the case of a Class C Automatic Conversion Event (a) relating to the satisfaction of a Class C Earnout Trigger Event, the automatic conversion of the applicable Class C Non-Voting Common Shares shall be deemed to have occurred at the close of business on the date of the Class C Earnout Trigger Event or (b) relating to a Change of Control, the automatic conversion of the applicable Class C Non-Voting Common Shares shall be deemed to have occurred immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control (as applicable, the “Class C Automatic Conversion Time”). The Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the Common Shares issuable upon any automatic conversion (to the extent the Common Shares are certificated) unless the certificates evidencing such Class C Non-Voting Common Shares being converted, if any, are either delivered to the Company at the registered office of the Company or to its transfer agent, or the holder notifies the Company or its transfer agent, that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company (and its transfer agent, if applicable) from any loss incurred by it in connection therewith.
| -32- | FASKEN MARTINEAU DUMOULIN LLP |
33.3 Effect of Automatic Conversion.
On the occurrence of a Class C Automatic Conversion Event, all rights with respect to the Class C Non-Voting Common Shares so converted shall terminate, except for the right of the holder thereof to receive the number of Common Shares into which such Class C Non-Voting Common Shares have been converted under these Articles. Upon the occurrence of a Class C Automatic Conversion Event, any certificates representing the applicable Class C Non-Voting Common Shares shall cease to have or to represent any rights with respect to such Class C Non-Voting Common Shares and shall represent only the right of the holder to receive the Common Shares into which they were converted under these Articles. The Company or its agent shall, promptly upon request of any holder whose Class C Non-Voting Common Shares have been converted into Common Shares and upon surrender by such holder to the Company of the outstanding certificate(s) formerly representing such Class C Non-Voting Common Shares (if any) at the registered office of the Company or of its transfer agent, issue and deliver to such holder, a certificate or certificates or written acknowledgment for the number of Common Shares into which the Class C Non-Voting Common Shares were converted at the Class C Automatic Conversion Time (to the extent the Common Shares are certificated). Any conversion under this Part 33 shall be deemed to have been made upon the occurrence of the Class C Automatic Conversion Event and the Person or Persons who at the time of the Class C Automatic Conversion Event were the record holder or holders of the Class C Non-Voting Common Shares shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of the Common Shares into which they were converted as of such time.
