Issuer: Neighbourly Pharmacy Inc. (“ Neighbourly ” or the “ Company ”). Offering: Treasury offering of 4,500,000 subscription receipts (the “ Subscription Receipts ”). If the Acquisition Closing (as defined below) occurs prior to the Closing (as defined below), common shares of the Company (“ Common Shares ”) will be issued in lieu of Subscription Receipts. Issue Price: $28.95 per Subscription Receipt. Amount of Offering: Total gross proceeds of $130 million ($149.8 million if the Over- Allotment Option is exercised in full). Over-Allotment Option: The Company has granted the Underwriters the option (the “ Over-Allotment Option ”) to acquire up to an additional 15% of the Subscription Receipts sold pursuant to the Offering to cover over-allotments, if any, and for market stabilization purposes, at the same price and on the same terms and conditions of the Offering, exercisable in whole or in part at the Underwriters’ sole discretion and without obligation at any time until the earlier of: (i) 30 days following the closing date of the Offering or (ii) the occurrence of a Termination Event (as such term will be defined in the Subscription Receipt Agreement (as defined herein)). In the event the Over-Allotment Option is exercised following the Acquisition Closing, the Company shall issue the same number of Common Shares in lieu of Subscription Receipts. Concurrent Private Concurrent with the Offering and in accordance with a subscription agreement entered Placement: into between the Company and the Private Placement Subscriber (as defined herein), the Company will issue, at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as the Offering, 4,150,000 Subscription Receipts (the “ Placement Receipts ”) to Persistence Capital Partners or one of its affiliates (the “ Private Placement Subscriber ”) on a private placement basis (the “ Concurrent Private Placement ”). In addition, the Company has granted to the Private Placement Subscriber an option (the “ Private Placement Option ”), exercisable at the same time as, and pro rata to, the exercise of the Over- Allotment Option by the Underwriters, to purchase up to an additional 15% of the Placement Receipts on the same terms and conditions as the Concurrent Private Placement. The Placement Receipts sold pursuant to the Concurrent Private Placement will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the closing date of the Concurrent Private Placement or the closing date of the Private Placement Option, as applicable.

closing of the Offering.
The closing of the Offering is conditional on the concurrent closing of the Concurrent Private Placement. However, the Joint Bookrunners have the ability to waive such condition if the Concurrent Private Placement does not close, in which case, the Offering could close without the concurrent closing of the Concurrent Private Placement.
The Acquisition: The Company entered into a share purchase agreement (the “ Purchase Agreement ”) to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of Amenity Holdings Inc., the entity that owns and operates, directly or indirectly through its subsidiaries, the network of retail pharmacies known as Rubicon Pharmacies (“ Rubicon ” or “ Rubicon Pharmacies ”), for a total cash consideration of $435 million (the “ Purchase Price ”), subject to customary post-closing net working capital adjustments and ROFRs (as defined below) (the “ Acquisition ”). Rubicon is an independent pharmacy operator with a portfolio of 100 pharmacies mainly located in the Canadian Prairies.
All of the Rubicon Pharmacies are subject to rights of first refusal (“ ROFRs ”) in favour of certain third parties. If a ROFR is exercised by a third party before the Acquisition Closing, the Acquisition Closing will still occur but the pharmacies affected by the exercised ROFR (the “ ROFR Pharmacies ”) will be excluded from the purchase and sale contemplated by the Acquisition and the Purchase Price will be adjusted downward by an amount equal to the value attributed to the ROFR Pharmacies in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement.
Completion of the Acquisition is subject to customary conditions for transactions of this nature, including the receipt of necessary third party (including lenders) consents and regulatory approvals. Neighbourly expects the completion of the Acquisition (the “ Acquisition Closing ”) to occur during the first quarter of its financial year ended March 25, 2023 (the second quarter of the calendar year 2022). Use of Proceeds: The net proceeds of the Offering and the Concurrent Private Placement will be used by the Company, if and when released from escrow, to pay a portion of the Purchase Price and the expenses related to the Acquisition.
In the event any ROFR Pharmacies are sold by Rubicon in accordance with the terms of applicable ROFRs prior to the Acquisition Closing, the net proceeds of the Offering and the Concurrent Private Placement will be used by the Company to pay a portion of the Purchase Price attributable to the remaining Rubicon Pharmacies and the expenses related to the Acquisition, and the remaining net proceeds, if any, will be used to strengthen the financial position, and allow the Company to fund future growth, including continuing to make accretive acquisitions.
