Recent Developments

On November 30, 2020, Mr. Juan Carlos Echeverry was appointed to the Company's board of directors.

In December 2020, following the success of the Company's full-scale Zerenia[TM] clinic in Bogota, the Company opened its first small-format Zerenia[TM] clinic in Medellin, Colombia. The Medellin clinic supports Khiron's goal of expanding regional access to the Company's clinic services and medical cannabis products for patients across the country, with a focus on in-person and telehealth services in Colombia's largest urban centres.

In December 2020, the Company secured coverage of its medical cannabis products by major health insurance providers in Colombia, in addition to the existing coverage granted to its clinic services.

In December 2020, the Company successfully completed the import of its high-THC medical cannabis product into Peru, becoming the first company in Colombia to export high-THC medical cannabis and also the only Colombian company to fill high-THC prescriptions in Peru for commercial purposes. The first prescriptions for high-THC in Peru were issued earlier in the month.

In February 2021, the Company introduced Latin America's first internationally accredited post graduate medical cannabis program, hosted by Mexico's TecSalud School of Medicine and Health Sciences. The program is delivered virtually and covers the theoretical and practical basis of medical cannabis, pharmacological properties of cannabinoids, and the international regulatory frameworks for medical cannabis.

In March 2021, following the successful launch of the Zerenia[TM] clinic in Medellin, Colombia, the Company opened a Zerenia[TM] clinic in Cali, Colombia. The Cali clinic is Khiron's second small-format Zerenia[TM] clinic, widening the Company's national presence.

In March 2021, the Company successfully exported its registered cannabis strains, in the form of live clones, from Colombia to Europe. This milestone represents the first shipment of medical cannabis live plant material to Europe from Colombia.

7

In March 2021, the Company successfully delivered EU-GMP medical cannabis product to Germany, in collaboration with Nimbus. Through Nimbus, sales of such medical cannabis product in Germany began shortly after the shipment was received.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus, commonly referred to as "COVID-19", has spread throughout South America, Europe and North America, causing companies and various international jurisdictions to impose restrictions such as quarantines, business closures and travel restrictions. While these effects are expected to be temporary, the duration of the business disruptions internationally and their impacts on the Company cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

The impact of COVID-19 on the Company's business and operations was most prominent at the start of the pandemic (~Q2, 2020) where the Company's clinics in Colombia (while deemed essential services) were challenged by operational safety measures that, in part, contributed to a reduction of patient consultations and services available on offer. The pandemic also had the effect early on of slowing the Company's expansion and business operations in certain international jurisdictions due to the implementation of various restrictive measures and other resource allocation by government bodies to slow the spread of COVID-19. To date, the Company has seen gradual improvement as various business activities and government measures normalize.

From the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, Khiron shifted its strategic approach to limit global expansion, alter marketing methods and conserve cash, while still maintaining its overall strategic direction to improve the quality of life of patients and consumers. During this global crisis, and specifically in Q2-Q3 2020, the Company did and plans to continue to do the following:

  • the Company prioritized the physical and mental health of its employees and health professionals by implementing air travel restrictions and allowing remote and flexible working arrangements for office staff;

  • the Company focused on: i) increasing prescribing physicians at its health centres and third party clinics across Colombia to drive daily prescriptions per physician; ii) generating patient awareness across the country to encourage patients to visit its health centres, primarily through its new web or app-based telehealth application (DoctorZerenia.com); and iii) improving systems and processes to improve service quality for new, potential and existing patients;

  • the Company managed its available cash by reducing general and administrative expenses, marketing spending and lower capital expenditures;

  • in Colombia, Khiron received an essential service exemption for its cultivation site, laboratory facilities and health centres. As a result, the Company continued to employ almost all of its employees and doctors, but implemented reduced pay and benefits measures. Additionally, the retainer fees payable to the Company's board of directors were reduced; and

  • the Company prioritized the continuity of health services and the treatment of patients, following appropriate safety guidelines. Certain invasive procedures were suspended (e.g. neurosurgeries) until May 26, 2020, and measures were implemented to ensure adequate spacing of appointments and patients in clinic waiting areas. The Company also introduced a teleconsultation service, leveraging its medical team and existing patient network to meet essential patient needs during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The implementation of these measures had the effect of ensuring the continuity of the business operations of the Company with a healthy workforce, including employees at the cultivation site, medical clinics, office staff and members of the management team and board of directors. Cost savings from reduced travel, salaries and retainers helped to offset the reduced revenues from the Company's clinics and decreased retail sales of its wellness products, while the postponement of capital expenditures and marketing programs helped to conserve the Company's cash and ensure continuation of core business operations.

The COVID-19 pandemic affected the Company's financial performance during 2020 by slowing growth in sales of medical cannabis products in all markets. In Colombia, Khiron's most advanced medical cannabis market, the Company achieved initial sales and significant quarter-over-quarter growth rates; however, the restrictions placed

8

on operating activities to manage the pandemic, such as reduced operating capacities in the clinic, resulted in reduced sales that were significantly below pre-pandemic levels. Sales from the Company's Wellbeing Products were also affected as the Company de-prioritized promotional and market expansion activities as a result of the decreased consumer demand and the impact of the pandemic on retail activities which reduced available point of sale opportunities.

Overall, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to-date has been slow growth of sales across existing markets and a delay in entering new markets, effectively delaying the Company's pathway to profitability. In November 2020, the Company raised additional funds through the November Offering, an equity financing in order to provide adequate capital to fund the Company's growth in existing and new markets.

The Company has adapted operating activities to the current market conditions including increased reliance on telemedicine to deliver clinic services and prescriptions and has experienced continued month-over-month growth in the sales of medical cannabis products in Colombia and Peru since the easing of COVID-19 restrictions in those countries during the last quarter of 2020. The number of medical cannabis prescriptions issued through the Company's clinics since receipt of regulatory approval has surpassed 13,000 to-date, with over 40% of these occurring in 2021, demonstrating accelerated growth over 2020. The Company is on track for its total number of prescriptions filled during the first quarter of 2021 to exceed the total number of prescriptions filled during all of 2020. The number of prescriptions issued per quarter is expected to increase with the expansion of the Company's clinic footprint across Colombia, including recently completed investments in small-format Zerenia[TM] clinics in municipal centres that are expected to generate additional prescribing capacity for high-margin medical cannabis sales.

A return to COVID-19 restrictions, if enacted, could have implications similar to those experienced in 2020 such as tempered growth in sales, specifically in new markets where significant investments are required for start up costs and promotional activities. However, the Company's investment in and implementation of telemedicine services during 2020 may reduce the overall impact of such events on its sales of medical cannabis. In the event of a major disruption in operating activities, the Company expects to respond in a manner consistent with 2020 to reduce costs and allocate available resources to focus on core revenue generating operations and markets, including, where appropriate, rationalization of product lines and operating capacity.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The use of proceeds from the sale of Securities will be described in a Prospectus Supplement relating to a specific issuance of Securities. Among other potential uses, the Company may use the net proceeds from the sale of Securities for future acquisitions, for capital expenditures and for general corporate and working capital purposes. Each applicable Prospectus Supplement will contain specific information concerning the use of proceeds from that sale of Securities by the Company. The Company is not actively pursuing any acquisitions at this time.

The Company has not, to date, generated positive cash flow from operating activities. The Company had negative operating cash flow for the financial years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. To date, management's expectations for achieving profitability have not been realized due to a combination of regulatory delays, postponement of new market entry and reduced sales across certain product lines and service offerings. However, the Company anticipates it will achieve positive cash flow from operating activities in future periods due to the successful launch of medical cannabis sales in Colombia; the observed growth in the Company's medical cannabis sales in 2021 compared to 2020; the Company's belief that the Colombian vertically-integrated clinic model can be replicated in other markets such as Mexico and Peru (for example, by independently establishing clinics and/or partnering with existing clinics), and the anticipated medical cannabis sales in the UK and Germany. The Company cannot guarantee that it will generate positive cash flow from operating activities in future periods. Each applicable Prospectus Supplement will contain specific information concerning whether, and if so, to what extent, the Company will use the proceeds of the distribution to fund any anticipated negative cash flow from operating activities in future periods. See "Risk Factors – Negative Cash Flow From Operations" .

The Company completed equity financings by way of short form prospectus on September 12, 2018 for gross proceeds of $12,937,500; on February 28, 2019, for gross proceeds of $28,842,000; on May 28, 2019, for gross proceeds of $28,751,035, and on November 26, 2020, for gross proceeds of $14,490,000. To date, the Company has largely applied the proceeds from the earlier offerings in accordance with the intended uses as previously disclosed by the Company. However, due to the impact of COVID-19, as well as delays in regulatory developments in certain markets, such as Uruguay, Brazil and Mexico, the Company's growth expectations have been tempered. As a result, the Company has temporarily suspended all capital investments in Uruguay and implemented measures to reallocate certain of the proceeds from the Company's Wellbeing Products towards executing on the Company's medical cannabis strategy both in Colombia and internationally. As the Company currently has sufficient operating capacity in its Ibague, Colombia facility, the suspension of investments in additional cultivation capacity in Uruguay is not expected to affect the Company's ability to meet expected demand for medical cannabis over the next twelve months. The Company has also reallocated $13 million of proceeds intended for the build-out of cultivation facilities in Uruguay towards, principally, the build-out of additional infrastructure at the Company's existing cultivation site in Ibaque, Colombia and to the build-out of the Company's Zerenia[TM] health centre in Bogota, Colombia. These capital projects are substantially completed and will not require significant additional injections of capital beyond ordinary course maintenance and improvements.

The proceeds from these financings have been used and or allocated as follows (with variances in the expected use of proceeds explained in the footnotes below):

Notes:

  • (1) The Company's international scope has expanded to include Peru, Brazil and Mexico in Latin America, and the UK and Germany in Europe, based on the Company's current expansion strategy. This balance reflects actual net operating expenditures that are higher than initial estimates due to delays in commencement of sales activities.

  • (2) Allocations to expanding operating capacity and operations in Colombia as described in the prospectus for the November Offering.

  • (3) Allocations to working capital as described in the prospectus for the November Offering and re-allocation to general and administrative expenses in response to the impact of COVID-19 on the Company's operations.

  • (4) The variances observed are not a result of additional funding obligations of the Company. The variance in the chart encompasses two broad concepts in the comparison to prior uses and intended uses of proceeds disclosures made as of September 2020 (the " Prior Disclosures "), namely: (a) the inclusion of the November Offering, which was not included in the Prior Disclosures; and (b) the Prior Disclosures did not include a reconciled total in relation to total financing amounts. In updating the Prior Disclosures to fully reconcile to the total value of the financings, the Company made updates to best reflect the current circumstances, including (i) additional amounts for international expansion to reflect the costs incurred by the Company in markets outside of Colombia since the time of the historical financings; and (ii) the balance of the unreconciled difference to the Prior Disclosures being included in working capital, general and administrative and issuance costs as historical proceeds were reallocated by the Company in order to support core operations following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The current outlook for the Company utilizes the proceeds from the November Offering and the resources of the Company from before the completion of the November Offering. These variances do not reflect additional funding obligations or commitments of the Company, but rather the actual and expected use of proceeds from financing activities in a manner that supports the Company's expected pathway to cash flow positive operations over the next 12 months.

Operations Over the Next 12 Months

As at April 15, 2021, the Company anticipates it will require approximately $11.2 million to continue operations over the next 12 months, including funding for: net operating activities attributable to current operations (including general and administrative expenses), repayment of long-term debt including capitalized leases, capital expenditures attributable to current operations and the working capital requirements of the Company's acquired operations. Details of the foregoing funding requirements are as follows:

Uses for the Next 12 Months Amount($)
Net operating expenditures related to current operations 6,150,000
Repayment of long-term debt, including capitalized leases 850,000
Capital expenditures related to current operations1 1,450,000
Net workingcapital requirements2 2,750,000
Total Funds Required Over Next 12 Months 11,200,000

Notes:

  • (1) Over the next 12 months, the Corporation expects to require approximately $1.45 million for capital expenditures related to current operations, to be allocated as follows: (a) upgrades and enhancements to the cultivation, post-harvest processing and extraction facility in Doima – $800,000; (b) new equipment and

11

upgrades to the existing clinics and set-up of new small format clinics – $550,000; and (c) other capital including corporate offices and IT infrastructure – $100,000.

  • (2) Over the next 12 months, the Corporation expects to require approximately $2.75 million for net working capital related to current operations to fund the growth in cannabis inventories and accounts receivables associated with the increased production and sales activities from the anticipated growth.

The Company has identified approximately $12.5 million of current resources available to it consisting of unrestricted cash (exclusive of any proceeds to be raised through the sale of Securities). The Company's existing available resources are sufficient to continue operations over the next 12 months, to meet the Company's obligations as they come due (including any current portion of any long term debt), and to meet its capital requirements for growth initiatives over the next 12 months. Details of the foregoing resources are as follows:

Sources for the Next 12 Months Amount ($)
Unrestricted Cash1 12,500,000
Total Funds Available Over Next 12 Months 12,500,000

Notes:

(1) As of March 29, 2021, the Company had approximately $12.5 million in unrestricted cash available.

Debt Securities

The Debt Securities will be senior or subordinated unsecured indebtedness of the Company as described in the relevant Prospectus Supplement. If the Debt Securities are senior indebtedness, they will rank equally and rateably with all other unsecured indebtedness of the Company, from time to time issued and outstanding, which is not subordinated.

If the Debt Securities are subordinated indebtedness, they will rank equally and rateably with all other subordinated Debt Securities from time to time issued and outstanding. In the event of the insolvency or winding-up of the Company, the subordinated Debt Securities will be subordinated and postponed in right of payment to the prior

13

payment in full of all other liabilities and indebtedness of the Company, other than indebtedness that, by its terms, ranks equally with, or subordinate to, such subordinated Debt Securities.

Any convertible or exchangeable Debt Securities will be convertible or exchangeable only for other securities of the Company.

In conformity with applicable laws of Canada, for all bonds and notes of companies that are publicly offered, the Debt Securities will be governed by a document called an "indenture". There will be a separate indenture for the senior Debt Securities and the subordinated Debt Securities. An indenture is a contract between a financial institution, acting on your behalf as trustee of the Debt Securities offered, and us. The trustee has two main roles. First, subject to some limitations on the extent to which the trustee can act on your behalf, the trustee can enforce your rights against us if we default on our obligations under the indenture. Second, the trustee performs certain administrative duties for us. The aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities that may be issued under each indenture is unlimited. A copy of the form of each indenture to be entered into in connection with offerings of Debt Securities will be filed with the applicable securities regulatory authorities in Canada when it is entered into. A copy of any indenture or supplement thereto entered into by us will be filed with securities regulatory authorities and will be available on our profile on SEDAR.

This Prospectus does not qualify for issuance Debt Securities in respect of which the payment of principal and/or interest may be determined, in whole or in part, by reference to one or more underlying interests including, for example, an equity or debt security, a statistical measure of economic or financial performance including, but not limited to, any currency, consumer price or mortgage index, or the price or value of one or more commodities, indices or other items, or any other item or formula, or any combination or basket of the foregoing items. For greater certainty, this Prospectus may qualify for issuance Debt Securities in respect of which the payment of principal and/or interest may be determined, in whole or in part, by reference to published rates of a central banking authority or one or more financial institutions, such as a prime rate or bankers' acceptance rate, or to recognized market benchmark interest rates commonly known as "LIBOR", "EURIBOR" or a United States federal funds rate.

Selected provisions of the Debt Securities and the indenture(s) under which such Debt Securities will be issued are summarized below. This summary is not complete. The statements made in this Prospectus relating to any indenture and Debt Securities to be issued thereunder are summaries of certain anticipated provisions thereof and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all provisions of the applicable indenture. The indentures will not limit the amount of Debt Securities that we may issue thereunder. We may issue Debt Securities from time to time under an indenture in one or more series by entering into supplemental indentures or by our board of directors or a duly authorized committee authorizing the issuance. The Debt Securities of a series need not be issued at the same time, bear interest at the same rate or mature on the same date.

The Prospectus Supplement for a particular series of Debt Securities will disclose the specific terms of such Debt Securities, including the price or prices at which the Debt Securities to be offered will be issued. The terms and provisions of any Debt Securities offered under a Prospectus Supplement may differ from the terms described below, and may not be subject to or contain any or all of such terms. Those terms may include some or all of the following:

  • the designation, aggregate principal amount and authorized denominations of such Debt Securities;

  • the indenture under which such Debt Securities will be issued and the trustee(s) thereunder;

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

General

The Company may from time to time during the 25-month period that this Prospectus, including any amendments and supplements hereto, remains valid, offer for sale and sell up to an aggregate of $50,000,000 in Securities hereunder.

The Securities may be sold by us (i) directly pursuant to applicable statutory exemptions, (ii) to or through underwriters or dealers, or (iii) through designated agents. The Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities will identify any underwriter, dealer or agent engaged in connection with the offering and sale of such Securities, and will set forth the terms of the offering of such Securities, including, to the extent applicable, any fees, discounts or any other compensation payable to underwriters, dealers or agents in connection with the offering, the method of distribution of the Securities, the purchase price of the Securities (or the manner of determination thereof if offered on a non-fixed price basis), the net proceeds to us and any other material terms of the plan of distribution (including sales in transactions that are deemed to be "at-the-market distributions" as defined in NI 44-102). Any initial offering price and discounts, concessions or commissions allowed or re-allowed or paid to underwriters, dealers or agents may be changed from time to time. Only underwriters named in the Prospectus Supplement are deemed to be underwriters in connection with our Securities offered by that Prospectus Supplement.

The Securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices or at non-fixed prices. If offered on a non-fixed price basis, the Securities may be offered at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices determined by reference to the prevailing price of a specified security in a specified market or at prices to be negotiated with purchasers including sales in transactions that are deemed to be "at-the-market" distributions, including sales made directly on the TSXV or other existing trading markets for the Securities, in which case the compensation payable to an underwriter, dealer or agent in connection with any such sale will be decreased by the amount, if any, by which the aggregate price paid for the Securities by the purchasers is less than the gross proceeds paid by the underwriter, dealer or agent to the Company. The price at which the Securities will be offered and sold may vary from purchaser to purchaser and during the period of distribution.

Sales of Securities under an "at-the-market distribution", if any, will be made pursuant to an accompanying Prospectus Supplement. Sales of Securities under any "at-the-market" program will be made in transactions that are "at-the-market distributions" as defined in NI 44-102. The volume and timing of any "at-the-market distributions" will be determined at the Company's sole discretion.

No underwriter or dealer involved in an "at-the-market distribution" under this Prospectus, no affiliate of such an underwriter or dealer and no person or company acting jointly or in concert with such an underwriter or dealer will over-allot securities in connection with such distribution or effect any other transactions that are intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the offered Securities.

In connection with the sale of the Securities, underwriters, dealers or agents may receive compensation from the Company including in the form of underwriters', dealers' or agents' fees, commissions or concessions. Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of the Securities may be deemed to be underwriters for the purposes of applicable Canadian securities legislation and any such compensation that they receive from the Company and any profit that they make on the resale of the Securities, may be deemed to be underwriting commissions.

Underwriters, dealers or agents who participate in the distribution of the Securities may be entitled, under agreements to be entered into with the Company to indemnification by the Company against certain liabilities, including liabilities under Canadian securities legislation, or to contribution with respect to payments, which such underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make in respect thereof. Such underwriters, dealers and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for, the Company in the ordinary course of business.

16

In connection with any offering of Securities, subject to applicable laws and other than an "at-the-market distribution", the underwriters, dealers or agents, as the case may be, may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the offered Securities at a level other than those which otherwise might prevail on the open market. Such transactions may be commenced, interrupted or discontinued at any time.

Unless specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, there is no market through which the Subscription Receipts, Warrants, Units and Debt Securities may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell the Subscription Receipts, Warrants, Units and Debt Securities purchased under this Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement. This may affect the pricing of the Subscription Receipts, Warrants, Units and Debt Securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the Subscription Receipts, Warrants, Units and Debt Securities and the extent of issuer regulation. See " Risk Factors ".

Offerings in the United States

The Securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act or any state securities laws and, subject to certain exceptions, may not be offered or sold or otherwise transferred or disposed of in the United States absent registration or pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. In addition, until 40 days after the commencement of an offering of Securities under any applicable Prospectus Supplement, an offer or sale of Securities within the United States by any dealer (whether or not participating in the offering of Securities) may violate the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act if such offer is made otherwise than in reliance on an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk and must be considered speculative due to the nature of the Company's business and present stage of development. Before making an investment decision, prospective purchasers of Securities should carefully consider the information described in this Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein, including the applicable Prospectus Supplement. There are certain risks inherent in an investment in the Securities, including the factors described below and under the heading "Risk Factors" in the Annual Information Form and in the Annual MD&A, and any other risk factors described herein or in a document incorporated by reference herein, which investors should carefully consider before investing . Additional risk factors relating to a specific offering of Securities will be described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. Some of the factors described herein, in the documents incorporated by reference herein, and/or the applicable Prospectus Supplement are interrelated and, consequently, investors should treat such risk factors as a whole. If any of the risk factors described herein, in the Annual Information Form, in another document incorporated by reference herein or in the applicable Prospectus Supplement occur, it could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties of which the Company currently is unaware or that are unknown or that it currently deems to be immaterial could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operation. The Company cannot assure purchasers that it will successfully address any or all of these risks. There is no assurance that any risk management steps taken will avoid future loss due to the occurrence of the risks described herein, in the Annual Information Form, in the other documents incorporated by reference herein or in the applicable Prospectus Supplement or other unforeseen risks.

Negative Cash Flow from Operations

The Company has not generated positive cash flow from operating activities. The Company had negative operating cash flow for the financial years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Company anticipates that it will achieve positive cash flow from operating activities in future periods due to the successful launch of medical cannabis sales in Colombia in 2020 and the observed growth in sales in 2021, to date, compared to 2020; the anticipated growth of medical cannabis sales in Peru, the UK, and Germany; and the anticipated commencement of medical cannabis sales in Mexico during 2021; however, the Company cannot guarantee it will have a cash flow positive status in the future. To the extent that the Company has negative cash flow in any future period, certain of the proceeds from the sale of Securities by the Company may be used to fund such negative cash flow from operating activities, see " Use of Proceeds ".

Implications of the COVID-19 Pandemic

The global outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in governments worldwide enacting emergency measures to protect against the spread of the virus. These measures, which include, among other things, limitations on travel, selfimposed quarantine periods and social distancing measures, have caused material disruption to businesses globally resulting in an economic slowdown. Global equity markets have experienced significant volatility and weakness. Governments and central banks have reacted with significant monetary and fiscal interventions designed to stabilize economic conditions. The duration and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak is unknown at this time, as is the efficacy of any government and/or central bank interventions. It is not possible to reliably estimate the length and severity of these developments and the impact on the financial results and condition of the Company and its operating subsidiaries in future periods.

The Company cautions that it is impossible to fully anticipate or quantify the effect and ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as the situation is rapidly evolving. The extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company's results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 and the actions taken by governments to contain it or treat its impact, including shelter in place directives, which, if extended, may impact the economies in which the Company now operates, or may in the future operate, and key markets into which the Company sells or intends to sell its products.

The risks associated with global COVID-19 measures, and the Company's own protocols, may have a material impact on the Company's ability to grow its business and generate revenue, which in turn could materially impact the Company's financial condition and results from operations. As of the date of this Prospectus, the Company has continued modified operations under COVID-19 protocols. The Company is actively addressing risks to its business from COVID-19 through a broad range of measures throughout its structure and is re-assessing its response to the COVID-19 pandemic on an ongoing basis. For additional information see, "The Company – Recent Developments – COVID-19 Pandemic" for additional information.

CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The applicable Prospectus Supplement will include a general summary of certain Canadian federal income tax consequences which may be applicable to a purchaser of Securities offered thereunder. Investors should read the tax discussion in any Prospectus Supplement with respect to a particular offering and consult their own tax advisors with respect to their own particular circumstances.

INTERESTS OF EXPERTS

Certain legal matters in connection with the offering of the Securities will be passed upon by Gowling WLG (Canada) LLP on behalf of the Company. As at the date hereof, the designated professionals of Gowling WLG (Canada) LLP, as a group, beneficially own, directly or indirectly, less than one percent of the securities of the Company.

AUDITORS, TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

MNP LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants, who have provided the auditors' report on the Annual Financial Statements incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, are independent of the Company within the meaning of the Rules of Professional Conduct of the Chartered Professional Accountants of Ontario.

Effective as of July 10, 2020, BDO Canada LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants, are now the auditors of the Company who are independent of the Company within the meaning of the Rules of Professional Conduct of the Chartered Professional Accountants of Ontario.

The registrar and transfer agent for the Common Shares is TSX Trust Company at its offices in Toronto, Ontario.

ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

The majority of our subsidiaries and the majority of our assets are located outside of Canada. Accordingly, it may be difficult for investors to enforce within Canada any judgments obtained against the Company, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of applicable Canadian securities laws or otherwise.

18

Consequently, investors may be effectively prevented from pursuing remedies against the Company under Canadian securities laws or otherwise.

The Company has subsidiaries incorporated in the United States, South America, and Europe. It may not be possible for shareholders to effect service of process outside of Canada against the directors and officers of the Company, and independent qualified persons engaged by the Company, who are not resident in Canada. In the event a judgment is obtained in a Canadian court against one or more of such persons for violations of Canadian securities laws or otherwise, it may not be possible to enforce such judgment against persons not resident in Canada. Additionally, it may be difficult for an investor, or any other person or entity, to assert Canadian securities law or other claims in original actions instituted outside of Canada as Courts in such jurisdictions may refuse to hear a claim based on a violation of Canadian securities laws or otherwise on the grounds that such jurisdiction is not the most appropriate forum to bring such a claim. Even if a foreign court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that the local law, and not Canadian law, is applicable to the claim. If Canadian law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable Canadian law must be proven as a fact, which can be a time-consuming and costly process. Certain matters of procedure will also be governed by foreign law.

STATUTORY AND CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS OF WITHDRAWAL AND RESCISSION

Unless provided otherwise in a Prospectus Supplement, the following is a description of a purchaser's statutory rights. Securities legislation in certain of the provinces and territories of Canada provides purchasers of the Securities with the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase the Securities, which right may be exercised within two business days after receipt or deemed receipt of this Prospectus, the accompanying Prospectus Supplement and any amendment relating to the Securities purchased by a purchaser. In several of the provinces and territories, the securities legislation further provides a purchaser with remedies for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price, or damages if the prospectus, prospectus supplement, and any amendment relating to securities purchased by a purchaser contains a misrepresentation or are not sent or delivered to the purchaser, provided that the remedies for rescission, revisions of the price or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser's province or territory. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser's province or territory for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal advisor.

Original purchasers of Securities under this Prospectus (as supplemented or amended) that are convertible, exchangeable or exercisable securities will be granted a contractual right of rescission against the Company in respect of the conversion, exchange or exercise of such Securities. The contractual right of rescission will entitle such original purchasers to receive, in addition to the amount paid on original purchase of any Securities, the amount paid upon conversion, exchange or exercise, upon surrender of the underlying securities gained thereby, in the event that this Prospectus (as supplemented or amended) contains a misrepresentation, provided that both the conversion, exchange or exercise occurs, and the right of rescission is exercised, within 180 days of the date of the purchase of the Securities under this Prospectus (as supplemented or amended). This contractual right of rescission will be consistent with the statutory right of rescission described under section 131 of the Securities Act (British Columbia), and is in addition to any other right or remedy available to original purchasers under section 131 of the Securities Act (British Columbia) or otherwise at law.

In an offering of Securities, to the extent such securities are convertible, exchangeable or exercisable securities, investors are cautioned that the statutory right of action for damages for a misrepresentation contained in the Prospectus (as supplemented or amended) is limited, in certain provincial and territorial securities legislation, to the price at which the Securities are offered to the public under the prospectus offering. This means that, under the securities legislation of certain provinces and territories of Canada, if the purchaser pays additional amounts upon conversion, exchange or exercise, as applicable, of the Security, those amounts may not be recoverable under the statutory right of action for damages that applies in those provinces and territories of Canada. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of applicable provincial or territorial securities legislation for the particulars of this right of action for damages or consult with a legal advisor.
