APPOINTMENT AND REVOCATION OF PROXY

The persons named in the Proxy are our directors and/or officers. A registered shareholder who wishes to appoint some other person to serve as their representative at the Meeting may do so by striking out the printed names and inserting the desired person’s name in the blank space provided. The completed Proxy should be delivered to Computershare Investor Services Inc. (“ Computershare ”). If a shareholder does not deliver a proxy to Computershare, Attention: Proxy Department, 9[th] Floor, 100 University Avenue, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1, or by fax at 1-866-249-7775, by 1:00 p.m. (local time in Vancouver, British Columbia) on Wednesday, February 15, 2023, or 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before any adjournment of the Meeting at which the Proxy is to be used, their proxies will be ineligible to vote, at the discretion of the Chairman of the Meeting.

The Proxy may be revoked by:

  • (a) signing a proxy with a later date and delivering it at the time and place noted above;

  • (b) signing and dating a written notice of revocation and delivering it to the Company, or by transmitting a revocation by telephonic or electronic means, to the Company, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment of it, at which the Proxy is to be used, or delivering a written notice of revocation and delivering it to the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or adjournment of it; or

  • (c) attending the Meeting or any adjournment of the Meeting and registering with the scrutineer as a shareholder present in person.

Provisions Relating to Voting of Proxies

The shares represented by proxy in the enclosed form will be voted or withheld from voting by the designated holder in accordance with the direction of the registered shareholder appointing such person. If there is no direction by the registered shareholder, those shares will be voted for all proposals set out in the Proxy and for the election of directors and the appointment of the auditors as set out in the Circular. The Proxy gives the person named in it the discretion to vote as such person sees fit on any amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting, or any other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. At the time of printing of the Circular, our management does not know of any other matters which may come before the Meeting other than those referred to in the Notice of Meeting.

Non-Registered Holders

Only registered shareholders or duly appointed proxy holders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Most of our shareholders are “ non-registered shareholders ” because the shares they own are not registered in their names but are instead registered in the name of the brokerage firm, bank or trust company through which they purchased the shares. More particularly, a person is not a registered shareholder in respect of shares which are held on behalf of that person (the “ Non-Registered Holder ”) but which are registered either: (a) in the name of an intermediary (an “ Intermediary ”) that the Non-Registered Holder deals with in respect of the Shares (Intermediaries include, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators of selfadministered RRSP’s, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans); or (b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited (“ CDS ”)) of which the Intermediary is a participant. In accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 54-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators, we have distributed copies of the Notice of Meeting, the Information Circular and the Proxy (collectively, the “ Meeting Materials ”) to the clearing agencies and Intermediaries for onward distribution to Non-Registered Holders.

Intermediaries are required to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Holders unless a Non-Registered

2

Holder has waived the right to receive them. Very often, Intermediaries will use service companies to forward the Meeting Materials to Non-Registered Holders. Generally, Non-Registered Holders who have not waived the right to receive Meeting Materials will either:

  • (a) be given a form of proxy which has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile, stamped signature), which is restricted as to the number of shares beneficially owned by the NonRegistered Holder but which is otherwise not completed. Because the Intermediary has already signed the form of proxy, this form of proxy is not required to be signed by the Non-Registered Holder when submitting the Proxy. In this case, the Non-Registered Holder who wishes to submit a Proxy should otherwise properly complete the form of proxy and deliver it to Computershare, as provided above; or

  • (b) more typically, be given a voting instruction form which is not signed by the Intermediary , and which, when properly completed and signed by the Non-Registered Holder and returned to the Intermediary or its service company , will constitute voting instructions (often called a “ proxy authorization form ”) which the Intermediary must follow. Typically, the proxy authorization form will consist of a one-page pre-printed form. Sometimes, instead of the one-page pre-printed form, the proxy authorization form will consist of a regular printed proxy form accompanied by a page of instructions, which contains a removable label containing a bar code and other information. In order for the form of proxy to validly constitute a proxy authorization form, the Non-Registered Holder must remove the label from the instructions and affix it to the form of proxy, properly complete and sign the Proxy and return it to the Intermediary or its service company in accordance with the instructions of the Intermediary or its service company.

In either case, the purpose of this procedure is to permit Non-Registered Holders to direct the voting of the shares which they beneficially own. Should a Non-Registered Holder who receives one of the above forms wish to vote at the meeting in person, the Non-Registered Holder should strike out the names of the management proxy holders and insert the Non-Registered Holder’s name in the blank space provided. In either case, Non-Registered Holders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary, including those regarding when and where the proxy or proxy authorization form is to be delivered.

A revocation of a Proxy does not affect any matter on which a vote has been taken prior to the revocation.

Notice and Access

We are not sending the Meeting Materials to registered Shareholders or Non-Registered Shareholders using noticeand-access delivery procedures defined under National Instrument 54-101 Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer and National Instrument 51-102, Continuous Disclosure Obligations .

RECORD DATE

We have set the close of business on January 13, 2023, as the record date (the “ Record Date ”) for the Meeting. Only the common shareholders of record as at the Record Date are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting, unless after that date a shareholder of record transfers his or her common shares and the transferee, upon producing properly endorsed certificates evidencing such shares or otherwise establishing that he or she owns such shares, requests at least ten (10) days prior to the Meeting that the transferee’s name be included in the list of shareholders entitled to vote, in which case such transferee is entitled to vote such shares at the Meeting.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF VOTING SECURITIES

We are authorized to issue an unlimited number of common shares without par value, of which 108,921,158 common shares were issued and outstanding as of the Record Date.

At our Meeting, on a show of hands, every shareholder present in person shall have one vote and, on a poll, every

3

shareholder shall have one vote for each share of which he or she is the holder.

Only shareholders of record on the close of business on the Record Date who either personally attend the Meeting or who complete and deliver a Proxy in the manner and subject to the provisions set out under the heading " Appointment of Proxyholder and Revocation of Proxies " will be entitled to have his or her shares voted at the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

To the knowledge of our directors and senior officers, and based upon our review of the records maintained by Computershare and insider reports filed with the System for Electronic Disclosure by Insiders (" SEDI "), as at the Record Date, the following shareholders beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, or exercised control or direction over, common shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all of our outstanding common shares:

PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON AT THE MEETING

Disposition of a majority of the Company’s holdings in BiocurePharm Corporation

Introduction

As announced by the Company on December 19, 2022, the Company, together with its subsidiary, BiocurePharm Corporation (“ BPK ”) entered into share purchase agreement dated December 16, 2022, as amended January 16, 2023 (the “ Agreement ”) with Dr. Sang Mok Lee, the Company’s CEO and a director, whereby Dr. Lee will acquire 1,773,879 ordinary shares and 57,954 preferred shares of BPK currently held by the Company (the “ Disposition ”).

The purpose of the Disposition is to restructure the relationship of the Company and BPK and to enable BPK, under the leadership of its CEO, Dr. Lee to separately market, finance and develop its product portfolio. The Company will continue to maintain a minority investment in BPK. The Company believes its market value does not reflect the value of BPK and that BPK will have more success with its financing endeavors in Korea as restructured.

The Agreement has been filed on the Company’s SEDAR profile on www.sedar.com.

Consideration for the Disposition

The BPK Shares which are being disposed of currently represent 51% of the shares of BPK held the Company and 46% of the outstanding shares of BPK. Following completion of the Disposition, the Company will still hold 1,704,316 ordinary shares and 55,682 preferred shares in the capital of BPK.

As consideration of the BPK Shares, Dr. Lee will transfer to the Company an aggregate of 27,317,506 common shares of the Company (the “ CURE Shares ”) held by him for cancellation and return to treasury.

Following the completion of the Disposition, Dr. Lee will resign as the Company’s President and CEO and as a director. Dr. Lee will continue to serve as the CEO and a director of BPK. An aggregate of $871,800 in intercompany debts previously advanced by the Company to BPK for operations will remain outstanding as a non-interest bearing on= demand loan. BPK expects to fund repayment of such loan through further equity raises, which will further dilute the Company’s position in BPK.

Effect of the Disposition on the Holdings of Dr. Lee

As noted above, Dr. Lee currently holds 27,317,506 common shares of the Company, representing 25.62% of the currently outstanding shares. Dr. Lee holds no other securities of the Company.

4

Following the completion of the Disposition, Dr. Lee will hold nil securities of the Company and will resign as the Company’s CEO and as a director. Dr. Lee will continue to serve as the CEO and a director of BPK.

Shareholder Approval Requirements of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia)

Pursuant to the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “ BCA ”), the Disposition is subject to the approval of Company’s shareholders. If such approvals are not obtained, the Disposition cannot proceed.

Management believes the Disposition is fair and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Following completion of the Disposition, the Company will new business opportunities as management believes to be of merit.

At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought fit, to pass with or without amendment, the following special resolutions (the “ Disposition Resolution ”):

BE IT RESOLVED as a special resolution that:

  1. The Company is hereby authorized to sell all or substantially all of its undertaking through the Disposition pursuant to the terms of the Agreement.

  2. Any one director or officer of the Company be and is hereby authorized and directed to do all such acts and things and to execute and deliver under the corporate seal or otherwise all such deeds, documents, instruments and assurances as in his opinion may be necessary or desirable to give effect to this resolution.

  3. The board of directors of the Company be and it is hereby authorized to revoke this resolution and any or all of the actions herein described, notwithstanding the approval by the shareholders of same, at any time prior to the completion thereof, if, in the sole discretion of the board of directors of the Company, it is in the best interests of the Company to do so.

  4. In the event the Disposition is not concluded as outlined, the directors may by resolution make such modifications to the Agreements as they may deem necessary in the circumstances to as to proceed with the Disposition as intended herein.

In order to be effective, the Disposition Resolution must be approved by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes cast thereon.

In the event that the parties wish to consider an amendment to the Agreement which would retain the material business terms, the Disposition Resolution contains a provision in the resolution that would permit the approval of the shareholders to be maintained but give the directors the authority to deal with any amendments to the terms of the Agreement as long as the spirit of the Disposition is maintained.

Unless the shareholder has specified in the enclosed form of proxy that the shares represented by such proxy are to be voted against the Disposition Resolution, the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy will vote FOR the Disposition Resolution.

Dissent Rights

Under the BCA, the Disposition Resolution gives rise to dissent rights. Shareholders are entitled to the dissent rights set out in the BCA and to be paid the fair value of their shares if such shareholder dissents to the Disposition and the Disposition becomes effective. Neither a vote against the Disposition Resolution, nor an abstention or the execution or exercise of a proxy vote against such resolution will constitute notice of dissent, but a shareholder need not vote against such resolution in order to dissent.

5

However, in accordance with the BCA, a shareholder who has submitted a dissent notice and who votes in favour of the Disposition Resolution or otherwise acts inconsistently with the dissent, will cease to be entitled to exercise any right of dissent (the “ Dissent Rights ”). A shareholder must dissent with respect to all shares either held personally by him or on behalf of any one beneficial owner and which are registered in one name. A brief summary of the provisions of the dissent rights of shareholders under the BCA is set out below and is qualified in its entirety by the reference to the full text of Part 8, Division 2 of the BCA, which is attached to this Circular as Schedule “A”.

The statutory provisions dealing with the right of dissent are technical and complex. Any shareholders who wish to exercise their right of dissent should seek independent legal advice, as failure to comply strictly with the provisions of Part 8, Division 2 of the BCA may prejudice their right of dissent.

Shareholders registered as such on the record date of the Meeting may exercise rights of dissent pursuant to and in the manner set forth in Part 8, Division 2 of the BCA, provided that the notice of dissent duly executed by such shareholder is received by the Company two business days in advance of the date of the Meeting. Dissenting shareholders (the “ Dissenting Shareholder ”) are ultimately entitled to be paid fair value for their dissenting shares (the “ Dissenting Shares ”) and shall be deemed to have transferred their Dissenting Shares to the Company.

Prior to the Disposition becoming effective, the Company will send a notice of intention to act to each Dissenting Shareholder stating that the Disposition Resolution has been passed and informing the Dissenting Shareholder of their intention to act on such Disposition Resolution. A notice of intention need not be sent to any shareholder who voted in favour of the Disposition Resolution or who has withdrawn his notice of dissent. Within one month of the date of the notice given by the Company of its intention to act, the Dissenting Shareholder is required to send written notice to the Company that he requires the Company to purchase all of his shares and at the same time to deliver certificates representing those shares to the Company. Upon such delivery, a Dissenting Shareholder will be bound to sell and the Company will be bound to purchase the shares subject to the demand for a payment equal to their fair value as of the day before the day on which the Disposition Resolution was passed by the shareholders, excluding any appreciation or depreciation in anticipation of the vote (unless such exclusion would be inequitable). Every Dissenting Shareholder who has delivered a demand for payment must be paid the same price as the other Dissenting Shareholders.

A Dissenting Shareholder who has sent a demand for payment, or the Company, may apply to the British Columbia Supreme Court which may: (a) require the Dissenting Shareholder to sell and the Company, to purchase the shares in respect of which a notice of dissent has been validly given; (b) set the price and terms of the purchase and sale, or order that the price and terms be established by arbitration, in either case having due regard for the rights of creditors; (c) join in the application of any other Dissenting Shareholder who has delivered a demand for payment; and (d) make consequential orders and give such directions as it considers appropriate. No Dissenting Shareholder who has delivered a demand for payment may vote or exercise or assert any rights of a shareholder in respect of their shares for which a demand for payment has been given, other than the rights to receive payment for those shares. Until a Dissenting Shareholder who has delivered a demand for payment is paid in full, that Dissenting Shareholder may exercise and assert all the rights of a creditor of the Company. No Dissenting Shareholder may withdraw his demand for payment unless the Company consents.

Strict adherence to the procedures set forth above will be required and failure to do so may result in the loss of all Dissent Rights. Accordingly, each shareholder who might desire to exercise Dissent Rights should carefully consider and fully comply with the provisions set forth above and below and consult his or her legal advisor.

All Dissent Notices to the Company should be addressed to the Company at the offices of its legal counsel at Armstrong Simpson, Suite 2080-777 Hornby Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6Z 1S4, Attention: Shauna Hartman

The directors of the Company may elect not to proceed with the transactions contemplated in the Disposition Resolution if any notices of dissent are received.

6

The foregoing summary does not purport to provide a comprehensive statement of the procedures to be followed by a dissenting shareholder who seeks payment of the fair value of his shares. The BCA requires strict adherence to the procedures established therein and failure to do so may result in the loss of all dissenters’ rights. Accordingly, each shareholder who might desire to exercise the dissenters’ rights should carefully consider and comply with the provisions of the section and consult such shareholders’ legal advisor.

Application of Multilateral Instrument 61-101

As Dr. Lee is currently the Company’s CEO and a director of the Company, as well as the holder of greater than 10% of the Company’s outstanding common shares, Dr. Lee is an ‘insider’ of the Company. As a result, the Disposition constitutes a “related party transaction” as defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Securityholders in Special Transactions (“ MI 61-101 ”), therefore requiring, in the absence of any exemptions thereto available under MI 61-101, a formal valuation and the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the minority shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting (the “ Minority Approval ”). The Minority Approval is in addition to the requirement pursuant to the BCA that the Disposition Resolution must be approved by not less than 66 2/3% of the votes cast by the shareholders that vote in person or by proxy at the Meeting.

In determining what constitutes Minority Approval for the Disposition Resolution, the Company must exclude the votes attached to affected securities, that to the knowledge of the Company or any interested party (as such term is defined in MI 61-101) or their respective directors and officers, after reasonable inquiry, are beneficially owned or over which control or direction is exercised by (a) the Company, (b) an interested party (as such term is defined in MI 61-101, (c) a related party of an interested party, or (d) a joint actor with a person referred to in (b) or (c) above. Accordingly, the Disposition Resolution must also be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting, excluding the votes attached to securities held by the shareholders of the Company, other than Dr. Lee and his associates and affiliates (the “ Excluded Persons’ ). As a consequence, any shares held by the Excluded Persons are required to be excluded from the voting on the Disposition Resolution for the purposes of the Minority Approval. Therefore, an aggregate of 27,317,506 common shares held by the Excluded Persons, representing 25.62% of the currently outstanding common shares, will not be entitled to vote in respect of the Disposition Resolution, for the purposes of the Minority Approval. The Excluded Persons may still vote on the Disposition Resolution for the purpose of obtaining the 66 2/3% approval as required by the BCA.

Background to the Transaction

The provisions of the Agreement are the result of negotiations conducted among independent representatives of the Company, Dr. Lee and their respective legal and financial advisors.

On November 27, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the then issued and outstanding securities of BPK pursuant to the provisions of a merger agreement dated March 22, 2017 between the Company and BPK. As a result of the merger, the Company issued an aggregate of 86,204,968 common shares to then shareholders of BPK, including the issuance of an aggregate of 25,090,272 common shares to Dr. Lee, who was then BPK’s largest shareholder.

On September 19, 2019, BPK completed a non-brokered financing in Korea issuing convertible debenture units for aggregate gross proceeds of ₩440,000,000 (CAD490,160). Each debenture unit will mature on September 9, 2029 and bear interest at a rate of 3% per annum. The holders thereof will have the right to convert the debenture units into ordinary shares of BPK at a price of ₩11,000 (CAD$12.25) per share three years following the issuance of the debenture units. The Company had found it difficult to complete a financing in Canada and began allowing BPK to financing privately in Korea diluting the Company’s interests in BPK in a non-material manner.

BPK continued to pursue its research objectives, progressing its biosimilar products and their clinical trials

7

In September 2022, following a determination of the board to cease contributions to the Korea Waterbury Uranium Limited Partnership, the board began discussions on the divestment of its non-material assets as well as a general review of the direction of the Company and its future opportunities for financing in light of current economic conditions.

In October 2022, the Company began exploring the possibility of divestment of its interests in BPK and in November 2022 began discussions with Dr. Lee about the possibility of selling a majority interest in BPK to him. The parties continued negotiations and consulted with legal counsel to obtain corporate and securities advice in December 2022. On December 15, 2022, the Board, other than Dr. Lee who abstained and did participate in board discussions related to the consideration of the Disposition, reviewed the terms of the Disposition and Agreement and approved the Agreement and Disposition. On December 16, 2022, the parties executed the definitive Agreement.

Prior Offers and Valuations

The Company has not received or requested any prior valuations relating to the Company, its securities or BPK and its securities in the 24 months prior to the Agreement, nor to the best knowledge of the Company do any such valuations exist. The Company has not received any bona fide offers from third parties relating to the Company or BPK during the 24 months prior to the Settlement Agreement.

Approval of the Disposition by the Board

For the purposes of MI 61-101, all members of the Board, other than Dr. Lee, were considered to be independent in relation to the Disposition.

The Board, with Dr. Lee abstaining ,reviewed and considered the Disposition on the terms set forth in the Agreement as well as the current financial condition, business and operations of the Company and the impact of the Disposition on the Company’s ongoing operations as well as the current economic climate for biotechnology issuers and expected market trends. The Board, with Dr. Lee abstaining, unanimously determined that the Disposition is in the best interests of the Company and fair to its shareholders. The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favor of the Disposition .

Exemptions from Valuation

Where an issuer is listed or quoted on the CSE and no other stock exchange outside of Canada and the United States, MI 61-101 provides an exemption to the general requirement to obtain a valuation for a transaction that is a related party transaction. The Company’s shares are quoted on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, but for the purposes of MI 61-101, this is not considered a ‘quotation’ on a stock exchange outside of Canada or the United States.

The consideration for the Disposition was determined having regard for the current trading price of the common shares of the Company on the CSE, and the value of the Company’s investment in BPK as set forth in its audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 and results in a deemed value of approximately $0.15 per BPK share, based on the then current trading price of the Company’s shares of $0.01. The Company also considered the future financing prospects of the Company for BPK.

Material Changes in the Company

The Company has no other plans or proposals for any material changes in its affairs either as a result of any contract or agreement under negotiation, proposals to liquidate, to sell, lease or exchange all or any substantial part of its assets, to amalgamate or to make any material changes in its business, corporate structure, management or personnel.

The Company will retain its minority interest in BPK, as well as a 10% interest in Korea Waterbury Uranium Limited Partnership (“KWULP”) which is a uranium investment through its fully owned subsidiary, Gravis Capital Inc. (“Gravis”). The Company determined to stop contributing its portion of operating expenses on the KWULP in September 2022 and will be diluted in proportion to the investments made by the remaining partners.
