Item 5 Full Description of Material Change

5.1 Full Description of Material Change

LXR closed a brokered private placement financing (the " Private Placement ") by issuing 60,000,000 units (each a " Unit ") at a price of $0.125 per Unit (the “ Unit Price ”) for gross aggregate proceeds of $7,500,000. Each Unit consists of one Class B share (a " Class B Share ") of LXR and a one-quarter of a Class B Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant a " Warrant ") exercisable into one Class B Share at a price of $0.175 per Warrant for a period of 24 months from the closing date. The Warrants are subject to an accelerated expiry if, following the date that is four months and one day after the date of issuance of the Units and prior to the expiry date of the Warrants, the daily volume weighted average trading price of the Class B Shares exceeds $0.35 for ten consecutive trading days.

Cormark Securities Inc., acted as lead agent in the Private Placement on behalf of a syndicate of agents (the “ Agents ”). In consideration of their services in connection with the Private Placement, the Company paid the Agents, a cash fee (the “ Agency Fee ”) of 6.0% of the gross proceeds realized by the Company in respect of the sale of the Units, excluding the gross proceeds received from the sale of the Units to Gibraltar & Company, Inc. (“ Gibraltar ”), as well as Luigi Fraquelli, Valerie Sorbie, Camillo di Prata, Eric Graveline and Javier San Juan (collectively, the “ Insider Participants ”). The Agency Fee paid on the gross proceeds from Gibraltar and the Insider Participants was 3.0%. In addition to the Agency Fee, the Company also issued to the Agents 2,414,400 broker warrants of the Company (the “ Broker Warrants ”), which will expire 24 months from the Closing Date, to purchase 2,414,400 additional Units at the Unit Price. The number of Units purchasable through the exercise of the Broker Warrants is equal to 6.0% of the number of Units sold in the Private Placement excluding the Units sold to Gibraltar and the Insider Participants.

Prior to the Private Placement, the Company had 32,783,155 issued and outstanding Class B Shares on a non-diluted basis. Pursuant to the Private Placement, the Company has issued up to 78,018,000 Class B Shares, comprised of 60,000,000 Class B Shares, plus 15,000,000 Warrants (exercisable into 15,000,000

Class B Shares) and 2,414,400 Broker Warrants (exercisable into 2,414,400 Class B Shares and 603,600 Warrants which are further exercisable into 603,600 Class B Shares). This represents approximately 183% of the aggregate issued and outstanding Class B Shares on a non-diluted basis and approximately 238% of the aggregate issued and outstanding Class B Shares, assuming exercise of the Warrants and Broker Warrants, as of the date hereof. Following completion of the Private Placement, the Company has 92,783,155 issued and outstanding Class B Shares on a non-diluted basis

All securities issued under the Private Placement, including securities issuable on exercise thereof, are subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day from the date of issuance.

The Company relied on the exemption from the formal valuation requirement in Section 5.5(g) of MI 61-101 and the exemption from the minority approval requirement in Section 5.7(1)(e) of MI 61-101 based on the board of directors of the Company, acting in good faith, having determined, and at least two-thirds of the Company’s independent directors, acting in good faith, having determined, that the Company, which throughout 2020 has faced significant challenges brought on by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, is in serious financial difficulty with limited alternatives, that the Private Placement was designed to improve the Company’s financial position, that the terms of the Private Placement were reasonable in the Company’s circumstances, that the immediacy of the Company’s need for financing through the Private Placement did not afford it sufficient time to hold a shareholders’ meeting and that the Private Placement was fair to, and in the best interests of, the shareholders of the Company.

The Company was unable to issue a material change report more than 21 days before closing the Private Placement as it was reasonable and necessary to do so in the circumstances as the Company wanted to complete the Private Placement as expeditiously as possible given the immediacy of the Company’s need for financing.
