RE: Engagement in a Merger Agreement with a Foreign Corporation Traded on the NASDAQ

March 6, 2023

The Company is hereby honored to inform that on February 26, 2023, after the approval of the Company's board of directors was obtained, the Company entered into a merger agreement with Molekule Group Inc., a company traded on the NASDAQ (NASDAQ: MKUL) ("Molekule" or the "Purchasing Company"),1 for the purchase of all the Company's issued capital (the "Parties" and the "Agreement" or the "Merger Agreement", as the case may be). Within the framework of the Agreement and subject to the terms set forth therein and the provisions set forth in the Company's law, 5759-1999 (the "Companies Law"), a reverse triangular merger will be carried out so that Avatar Merger Sub Ltd., an Israeli subsidiary under the full ownership of Molekule (which was established for the purposes of this merger) (the "Target Company"), will be merged and integrated with the Company, the Company will become a subsidiary under the full ownership of Molekule and the Target Company will cease to exist (the "Merger" or the "Transaction"). Immediately upon the completion of the Transaction, all the Company's shareholders (as on the completion date) will hold Molekule shares in accordance with the Conversion Rate (as defined below), the Company will continue to operate under the full ownership of Molekule, the Company's shares will be delisted at the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Ltd. (the "Stock Exchange") and the Company will become a private company as defined in the Companies Law.

It will be noted that the Company's board of directors decided to delay the immediate report concerning the Transaction in accordance with Regulation 36(b) of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 5730-1970, since the filing of such report could have prevented the completion of the Transaction and could have had a negative effect on the terms of the Agreement.

The following are the key terms of the Agreement:

1. The Consideration for the Merger, The Effect of the Merger on the Company's Share Capital and a Share Swap

At the Time of the Merger (as defined below), all the Company's shareholders (as on the completion date) will be entitled to Molekule shares as detailed below (the "Consideration" or the "Consideration for the Merger"):

1.1. Any single Company share with no par value, which is issued and paid on the completion date (all such shares will be referred to hereinafter as the "Issued Company Capital as on the Completion Date"), will be automatically converted to a right to receive ordinary Molekule shares, each with a par value of 0.01 USD, at the ratio obtained by dividing 3,519,105 by the Issued Company Capital as on the Completion Date ("the Conversion Rate").2 Subject to the provisions set forth in Section 1.5 below, it is clarified that the maximal amount of Consideration

1 To the best of the Company's knowledge, Molekule conducts its business in the field of air quality, including the development, production and marketing of air purification systems.

2 To the best of the Company's estimates, the Company's (fully diluted) paid share capital as on the completion date, is expected to be comprised of: (a) 24,500,753 ordinary Company shares (after the deduction of 137,633 blocked shares which will not mature by the completion date, owned by Mr. Yuval Bronstein); (b) 750,240 ordinary shares emanating from the realization of 8,336 untradeable employee options, which, at the Company's estimate, will be realized by the completion date (the balance of securities convertible to Company shares, which will not be realized by the completion date, will be delisted on the completion date, as specified in Section 2.1 below); (c) As stated in Section 2.2 below, an amount of ordinary shares the Company has undertaken to assign to Bank Mizrahi Tefahot Ltd. ("Bank Mizrahi" on the eve of the completion of the Transaction, to replace the warrants currently held by Bank Mizrahi), at a financial scope of approx. 500 thousand

paid by the Purchasing Company for the Transaction will be 3,519,105 ordinary shares of the Purchasing Company, which, as on the date of this report, constitute approx. 10.37% of Molekule's issued share capital (after and including the allocation of Molekule ordinary shares to Company shareholders, the "Maximal Amount of Allocated Shares").

When the S-4 form ("S-4 Form") filed by Molekule enters into effect in accordance with the laws governing its operations, the Molekule shares assigned to the Company's shareholders will be listed for trade on the NASDAQ. Out of all the Molekule shares which will be assigned to Company shareholders, the Molekule shares which will be held by the Hon. Messrs. Yuval Bronstein, Aviad Shnaiderman, Eldar Shnaiderman, Nevo Ben Shitrit, Yonatan Kolber (through a company under his full ownership – Anfield Ltd.), Highroad Ltd. and Bank Mizrahi will be subject to a voluntary block as detailed in Section 4 below. The other shares will not be subject to any block or similar restrictions.

  • 1.2. The Consideration was determined in negotiations held between the Parties, and was examined by the Company's board of directors and was approved by it.
  • 1.3. Tax will be withheld from the Consideration as required by law, other than if determined otherwise by the Tax Authority.3
  • 1.4. As at the time of signing the Merger Agreement, the Consideration reflected: a price per Company share of approx. 0.35 USD (approx. 1.28 ILS), calculated based on the closing price of the Purchasing Company's shares which was known on the last trading day prior to the day of signing the Merger Agreement (i.e., February 24, 2023) and in accordance with the Conversion Rate (calculated based on the number of shares comprising the Company's issued capital as on the date of this Report). This Consideration represented a premium of approx. 183% on the average closing price of the Company's shares at the Stock Exchange in the 30 days immediately before the time of signing the Merger Agreement; and a premium of approx. 156% on the closing price of the Company's share at the Stock Exchange on February 26, 2023 (Calculated based on the representative USD exchange rate as at the time of signing the Merger Agreement and in accordance with the Conversion Rate, calculated based on the number of shares comprising the Company's issued capital as on the date of this report).4

Accordingly, the Consideration, as at the time of signing the Merger Agreement, reflected a value of approx. 8.6 million USD for the Company (based on the multiplication of the Maximal Number of Allocated Shares by the closing price of the Purchasing Company's shares known on the last trading day before the tie of signing the Merger Agreement).

  • 1.5. If there are any changes in Molekule's share capital between the time of signing this Agreement and the actual time of the Merger, resulting from the distribution of a share dividend, a subdivision, reclassification, split, union, share swap or any similar incident, the Consideration provided for the Merger will be adjusted so it provides the Company's shareholders with the same economic influence awarded to them in accordance with the Agreement before said change. If such an adjustment is made, the Company will issue an immediate report regarding the adjustment and its impact.
  • 1.6. The completion of the Merger will be carried out on the second business day after the fulfilment (or waiver) of all the conditions required in accordance with the Agreement or at any later time determined by the Parties (the "Completion Date"). The Merger will enter into effect on the day the Merger certificate is issued by the Registrar of Companies in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 323(5) of the Companies Law (the "Merger Date").

2. Company Option and Warrant Holders

2.1. In accordance with the provisions set forth in the Merger Agreement, the options and blocked share units granted to employees, consultants and service providers which have not been realized to shares as at the time of the Merger (including because they did not mature), will expire and be cancelled, with no consideration given. Without derogating from the above, after the Merger Date, Molekule will be allowed, from time to time and at its sole discretion, to allocate blocked share units to parties related to the Company.

USD, to be calculated as follows: 500,000 USD divided by the average closing rate of the Molekule share in the 14 trading days preceding the Merger Agreement signing date (i.e., 2.84 USD per share) divided by the Conversion Rate as determined shortly before the completion date (the Conversion Rate will be determined as the ratio between the maximal amount of allocated shares and the Company capital issued on the date of completion). Furthermore, any share fractions formed following the conversion of Company shares to Molekule shares will be rounded down to the closest number of shares. It is clarified that said Company estimate amounts to forward-looking information, as defined in the Securities Law, 5728-1968, and such estimate may not be realized following actions taken by third parties (which are not known at this time), including due to the realization or expiration of convertible Company securities.

3 It will be noted that the Company intends to contact the Tax Authority to obtain a tax ruling pursuant to Section 103.U. of the Income Tax Ordinance (New Version), 5721-1961 (the "Ordinance") subject to certain conditions specified in the Agreement. If the Company fails to obtain the Tax Authority's confirmation in relation to a tax ruling made pursuant to Section 103.U. of the Ordinance (to the full satisfaction of Molekule) within two months of the time of signing this Agreement, the Company will submit an application for a tax ruling pursuant to Section 104.H. of the Ordinance (each will be referred to hereinafter as a "Tax Ruling").

4 As stated in footnote 2 of this report, the Company estimates that additional capital actions could be executed in the Company's issued capital before the completion date, and therefore the final Conversion Rate will be determined only shortly before the time of completion of the Transaction. The data provided in this Section above are based on the Company's issued capital as at the time of this report.

2.2. In accordance with the amendment to the financing agreement made between the Company and Bank Mizrahi on February 23, 2023,5 and signed as part of the Merger Agreement (the "Amendment to the Financing Agreement"), Bank Mizrahi's rights to purchase 671,072 ordinary Company shares will be cancelled subject to and after the fulfilment of all the condition precedents stipulated in the Merger Agreement and before the Completion Date ("Bank Mizrahi's Warrant" and the "Cancellation Date"). For further information in relation to Bank Mizrahi's Warrant, see the Company's supplementary immediate report of July 28, 2022 (reference no.: 2022-01-078771). Instead of Bank Mizrahi's Warrant and as part of the Amendment to the Financing Agreement, the Company will allocate to Bank Mizrahi, on the Cancellation Date (and subject to the fulfilment of all the condition precedents stipulated in the Merger Agreement, the approval of the Company's board of directors and the approval of the Stock Exchange), ordinary Company shares at an amount equal to 500 thousand USD, in accordance with the mechanism detailed in subsection (c) of footnote 2 above. These shares will be replaced by Molekule shares as part of the Consideration for the Merger, all as part of the Maximal Amount of Shares Allocated. Furthermore, the Amendment to the Financing Agreement also includes the provisions detailed in Section 3 below.

If no breach incident occurred (as defined in the Original Financing Agreement and excluding any cause related to a going concern notice), then, at the time of delivery of the Letter of Guarantee to Bank Mizrahi, the balance of the long-term loan, as it is at the time, will be provided as a new long-term loan bearing interest based on monthly Term SOFR interest with an added margin of 7%-8%,6 when the principal of the longterm loan will be paid in 24 monthly instalments starting after 36 months from the time of provision of the new loan (when only interest payments will be made during these 36 months).
