FOR THE

ANNUAL GENERAL AND SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

OF

NEURAL THERAPEUTICS INC.

TO BE HELD AT 10:00 A.M. TORONTO TIME ON MAY 25, 2026

April 15, 2026


  • 2 -

Dear Neural Shareholders,

The directors of Neural Therapeutics Inc. (“Neural”) cordially invite you to attend an annual and special meeting (the “Meeting”) of the holders of common shares (the “Neural Shares”) of Neural (the “Shareholders”) to be held at the offices of Neural at 120 Adelaide Street West, Suite 900, Toronto, ON M5H 3V1, at 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on May 25, 2026.

On May 28, 2025, Neural entered into a strategic investment and option agreement, which was amended on February 13, 2026 and March 25, 2026 (the "SIO Agreement") setting forth the terms on which Neural has the right to acquire an interest in CWE European Holdings Inc. ("CWE") through a series of transactions (the "CWE Transactions"). The terms of the SIO Agreement are disclosed in more detail in Neural's press release dated May 28, 2025 and February 19, 2026 and a copy of the SIO Agreement and relevant amendments are available under Neural's SEDAR+ profile on www.sedarplus.ca. As disclosed in the Neural's press release dated May 28, 2025, the CWE Transactions are comprised of two stages: (i) an initial acquisition of a minority 30.75% equity interest in CWE (the "Series A Option"), and (ii) a subsequent acquisition of the remaining 69.25% equity interest in CWE (the "Series B Option").

CWE through its subsidiaries in Germany, operates a network of specialty retail stores and an e-commerce platform under the "Hanf.com" brand focused on CBD products, related wellness goods and accessories. The business is centered in the State of Bavaria with additional locations in other German states and is supported by in-house warehousing and fulfillment capabilities. The CWE Transactions are expected to combine Neural's research and intellectual property with CWE's retail and e-commerce operations in Germany.

On August 13, 2025, Neural announced that Neural and CWE completed the first of the two CWE Transactions, whereby, Neural acquired approximately 30.75% equity interest in CWE. In consideration for the acquisition of 30.75% indirect interest in CWE, Neural issued an aggregate of 79,999,960 Neural Shares to former CWE shareholders, based on an agreed exchange ratio of four (4) Neural Shares for each one (1) CWE Share previously held by such CWE shareholders.

Pursuant to the terms of the SIO Agreement, Neural has have the right, but not the obligation, to exercise the Series B Option, which involves delivering to CWE a notice of Neural's intention to proceed with the transactions to acquire the balance 69.25% interest in CWE ("Series B Transactions"). The Series B Transactions will be effected through a sequence of statutory three-cornered amalgamations involving two (2) wholly owned subsidiaries of CWE - CWE Newco B and CWE Newco C (which hold 31.02% and 38.36% of the issued and outstanding CWE Shares, respectively) and two (2) wholly owned subsidiaries of Neural, incorporated for the purposes of effecting the Series B Transactions.

As consideration for the Series B Transactions, Neural will issue an aggregate of 172,070,634 Neural Shares to the shareholders of CWE, all as more particularly described in the accompanying information circular (the "Circular"). In addition, holders of previously issued common share purchase warrants of CWE (the "CWE Prior Warrants") will receive four (4) common share purchase warrants of Neural (the "Neural Compensation Warrants") in exchange for each one (1) CWE Prior Warrant, or an aggregate of 128,817,388 Neural Compensation Warrants, exercisable into Neural Shares at a price of $0.14 per Neural Share until April 7, 2027.

Completion of the Series B Transactions, if the Series B Option is exercised by Neural, will constitute a "Fundamental Change" as defined under the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE"), as Series B Transactions will constitute a reverse takeover of Neural by CWE. Following the completion of the Series B Transactions, Neural will remain listed on the CSE, and will hold a 100% interest in CWE. It is intended that following the Series B Transactions Neural will carry out the existing business activities of CWE as its primary business.

As the Series B Transactions will constitute a "Fundamental Change" under the policies of the CSE, the Series B Transactions are subject to approval by Neural Shareholders (the "Series B Transactions Resolution"), including approval of the majority of the minority Shareholders, pursuant to the provisions of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. See section titled "Particulars of Matters to be Acted Upon - Approval of Series B Transactions" in the Circular.

In connection with Series B Transactions, Neural intends to complete a number of ancillary transactions, which are subject to shareholder approval and are described in more detail in the accompanying Circular. These transactions include:


  • 3 -
  1. Consolidating (the “Consolidation”) all of the Neural Shares on the basis of one (1) post-Consolidation Neural Share for every four (4) existing Neural Shares outstanding (the "Consolidation Resolution"),
  2. Changing its name to “Hanf.com Inc.” or such other name as may be agreed upon by the parties (the "Name Change Resolution" and together with the “Consolidation Resolution” and “Series B Transactions Resolution”, the “Neural Shareholder Resolutions”).
  3. Electing (A) the directors of Neural (the "Current Slate") to serve from the close of the Meeting until the earlier of: (i) the close of the next annual meeting of shareholders of Neural or until their successors are elected or appointed; and (ii) completion of Series B Transactions; and (B)) to set the number of directors of the Corporation immediately following the Change of Board Time at five (5) directors and to elect the directors of the Corporation to serve from the date of completion of Series B Transactions, until the close of the next annual meeting of Shareholders of Neural or until their successors are elected or appointed (the "New Slate").

The full text of the resolutions to approve transactions the items set forth above are reproduced in the Circular. Each of the resolutions, must be approved by not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the votes cast by Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting. In the event the Series B Transactions are not completed, the Name Change Resolution and the Consolidation Resolution will not be acted upon, and the Current Slate will continue to serve as the board of directors of Neural.

The board of directors of Neural has determined that the Neural Shareholder Resolutions are in the best interests of Neural and its securityholders and recommends that shareholders vote in favour of each of the Neural Shareholder Resolutions. The Circular provides a full description of the Neural Shareholder Resolutions and includes certain additional information regarding the Series B Transactions to assist you in considering how to vote in respect of the Neural Shareholder Resolutions. You are encouraged to consider carefully all of the information in the Circular, including the documents incorporated by reference therein. If you require assistance, you should contact your financial, legal, tax or other professional advisor.

Your vote is important regardless of the number of Neural Shares that you own. If you are a registered shareholder of Neural, we encourage you to complete, sign, date and return the enclosed form of proxy by not later than 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on May 21, 2026, or, if the Meeting is adjourned, not later than 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, preceding the time of such adjourned Meeting, to ensure that your securities are voted at the meeting in accordance with your instructions, whether or not you are able to attend in person. If you hold your securities through a broker or other intermediary, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker or other intermediary to vote your securities.

If you hold your Neural Shares through a broker or other intermediary, please contact that broker or other intermediary for instructions and assistance with receiving new shares, of Neural. Assuming that all conditions to the completion of transactions underlying Neural Shareholder Resolutions are satisfied, it is anticipated that such matters will be implemented in short order following the Meeting.

If you require any assistance in completing your proxy, please contact Odyssey Trust Services online via www.odysseycontact.com. See the section in the Circular entitled “General Proxy Information – Voting of Proxies” for further information on how to vote your Neural Shares.

On behalf of Neural, we would like to thank all shareholders for their ongoing support.

Yours very truly,

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

As at April 15, 2026 (unless otherwise indicated)

This Management Information Circular (the "Circular") is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by management of Neural Therapeutics Inc. (the "Neural") for use at the annual and special meeting (the "Meeting") of the holders ("Neural Shareholders") of common shares in the capital of Neural ("Neural Shares") to be held on May 25, 2026, at the time, place and for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of the Meeting.

VIRTUAL AND TELEPHONE ACCESS

Neural Shareholders are encouraged to vote on the matters before the Meeting by proxy. Neural Shareholders and any other interested persons who are unable or not permitted to attend the meeting in person have the opportunity to listen to a live audio-cast of the meeting at 10:00 a.m. (EDT) on May 25, 2026, which audio-cast can be accessed by Zoom Webinar by Online Link URL:

Link: https://zoom.us/j/98620551372?pwd=pbJPiyuA2TRJaDUylACGQCnGVJsj1S.1 Toll-Free Dial-In USA and Canada: (647) 558-0588 or (669) 444-9171 Meeting ID: 986 2055 1372; Participant Code: 825214

Please note it is recommended that you dial-in 10 minutes prior to the start of the meeting. This call will be listen-only and shareholders will not be able to vote or speak at, or otherwise participate in, the meeting via the webinar. Neural Shareholders will not be able to vote over the conference line but will be able to ask questions of management at the conclusion of the Meeting. Should any additional change(s) to the Meeting, updates will be posted on Neural's website and/or by press release.

NOTICE-AND-ACCESS

Neural has elected to use the notice-and-access procedure ("Notice-and-Access") under National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations ("NI 51-102") and National Instrument 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer ("NI 54-101") for the delivery of the Meeting materials ("Meeting Materials") to all Neural Shareholders for the Meeting.

Under the provisions of Notice-and-Access, all Neural Shareholders will receive a Notice-and-Access Notice ("Notice") containing information on how they can access the Meeting Materials electronically (instead of receiving a printed copy) or, alternatively, how they can receive a printed copy of those Meeting Materials. Neural Shareholders will also receive a proxy or a voting instruction form enabling them to vote at the Meeting. The Meeting Materials will be posted on Neural's website at: www.neuraltherapeutics.ca as of April 24, 2026, and will remain on the website for one (1) year thereafter.

The Meeting Materials will also be available under Neural's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca as of April 24, 2026. The use of Notice-and-Access is an environmentally friendly and cost-effective way to distribute the materials for the Meeting because it reduces printing, paper and postage.

Neural has also elected to use procedures known as "stratification" in relation to its use of the Notice-and-Access provisions. Stratification occurs when Neural while using the Notice-and-Access, provides a paper copy of the Notice of Meeting and Circular to some Neural Shareholders. In relation to the Meeting, certain Registered Shareholders and Beneficial Shareholders that have previously requested to receive paper materials will receive a paper copy of each of the Notice of the Meeting, this Circular, form of proxy and the financial statements of Neural, whereas all other Neural Shareholders will receive only a notification regarding the use of the Notice-and-Access Provisions and a voting instruction form. Neural Shareholders are reminded to review this Circular before voting.


  • 9 -

Neural Shareholders with questions about the Notice-and-Access provisions or wishing to obtain paper copies of the Meeting materials can contact Neural's transfer agent, Odyssey Trust Company ("Odyssey"), online via www.odysseycontact.com.

A request for paper copies (which are required in advance of the Meeting) should be sent so that they are received by Odyssey by May 9, 2026 in order to allow sufficient time for Neural Shareholders to receive their paper copies and to return (a) their form of proxy; or (b) their voting instruction form to their Intermediaries by the deadline for submitting their proxy or voting instruction form, as applicable.

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

The cost of solicitation by or on behalf of management will be borne by Neural. Neural may reimburse brokers, custodians, nominees and other fiduciaries for their reasonable charges and expenses incurred in forwarding the proxy material to beneficial owners of Neural Shares. It is expected that such solicitation will be primarily by mail. In addition to solicitation by mail, certain officers, directors and employees of Neural may solicit proxies by telephone or personally. These persons will receive no compensation for such solicitation other than their regular salaries.

Although it is expected that the solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail, proxies may also be solicited personally or by telephone, facsimile or other proxy solicitation services. In accordance with NI 54-101, arrangements have been made with brokerage houses and clearing agencies, custodians, nominees, fiduciaries or other intermediaries to deliver the Meeting Materials to the beneficial owners of Neural Shares held of record by such parties. Neural may reimburse such parties for reasonable fees and disbursements incurred by them in doing so. Neural may also retain, and pay a fee to, one or more professional proxy solicitation firms to solicit proxies from the Neural Shareholders in favour of the matters set forth in the Notice.

APPOINTMENT OF PROXY HOLDERS AND REVOCATION OF PROXIES

Neural Shares represented by the accompanying form of proxy (if the same is properly executed in favour of Ian Campbell, Chief Executive Officer or failing him, John Durfy, Chairman, collectively the management nominees, and is received at the offices of Odyssey Trust Company ("Odyssey") not later than 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) May 21, 2026, or, if the Meeting is adjourned, not later than 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, preceding the time of such adjourned Meeting) will be voted at the Meeting, and where a choice is specified in respect of any matter to be acted upon, will be voted in accordance with the specifications made. In the absence of such a specification, such Neural Shares will be voted in favour of such matter. The form of proxy sets out specific instructions for completing and returning the proxy in order to be properly counted at the Meeting.

The accompanying form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the annexed notice of Meeting, and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. At the date hereof, management of Neural knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters.

Each Neural Shareholder has the right to appoint a person other than the persons named in the accompanying form of proxy, who need not be a Neural Shareholder, to attend and act for him or her and on his or her behalf at the Meeting. Any Neural Shareholder wishing to exercise such right may do so by inserting in the blank space provided in the accompanying form of proxy the name of the person whom such Neural Shareholder wishes to appoint as proxy and by duly depositing such proxy, or by duly completing and depositing another proper form of proxy.

A Neural Shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke it at any time insofar as it has not been exercised. A proxy may be revoked, as to any matter on which a vote shall not already have been cast pursuant to the authority conferred by such proxy, by instrument in writing executed by the Neural Shareholder or by his or her attorney authorized in writing or, if such Neural Shareholder is a body corporate, by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized, and deposited with Neural c/o Odyssey at the address set out in the proxy, before May 21, 2026 10:00 A.M., or thereafter with the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof, and upon either of such deposits the proxy is revoked. A proxy may also be revoked in any other manner permitted by law.


  • 10 -

EXERCISE OF DISCRETION BY PROXIES

Neural Shares represented by proxies in favour of management nominees will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions of the Registered Shareholder on any ballot that may be called for and, if a Registered Shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting, such Neural Shares represented by the proxy shall be voted accordingly. Where no choice is specified, the proxy will confer discretionary authority and will be voted for the election of directors, for the appointment of auditors and the authorization of the directors to fix their remuneration and for each item of special business, as stated elsewhere in this Circular.

The enclosed form of proxy also confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein to vote with respect to any amendments or variations to the matters identified in the Notice and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting in such manner as such nominee in his judgment may determine. At the time of printing this Circular, the management of Neural knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting.

REGISTERED SHAREHOLDERS

A holder of Neural Shares who appears on the records maintained by Neural or its registrar and transfer agent as a registered holder of Neural Shares (each a "Registered Shareholder") may vote in person at the Meeting or may appoint another person to represent such Registered Shareholder as proxy and to vote their Neural Shares of such Registered Shareholder at the Meeting. In order to appoint another person as proxy, a Registered Shareholder must complete, execute and deliver the form of proxy accompanying this Circular, or another proper form of proxy, in the manner specified in the Notice.

Registered Shareholders are asked to return their proxy forms using one of the following methods by 10:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on May 21, 2026 (the "proxy cut-off time") or, if the Meeting is adjourned, not later than 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, preceding the time of such adjourned Meeting:

BY MAIL: Odyssey Trust Company 1100-67 Yonge Street Toronto, ON, M5E 1J8

BY INTERNET: https://vote.odysseytrust.com/

You will be prompted to enter your control number which is located on the proxy. You may also appoint a person other than the persons designated on this form of proxy by following the instructions provided on the website.

BENEFICIAL SHAREHOLDERS

The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to many Neural Shareholders as a substantial number of Neural Shareholders do not hold Neural Shares in their own names. A Neural Shareholder is a non-registered shareholder (referred to in this Circular as "Beneficial Shareholders") if: (i) an intermediary (such as a bank, trust company, securities dealer or broker, trustee or administrator of a registered retirement savings plan, registered retirement income fund, deferred profit sharing plan, registered education savings plan, registered disability savings plan or tax-free savings account), or (ii) a clearing agency (such as CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc.), of which the intermediary is a participant (in each case, an "Intermediary"), holds Neural Shares on behalf of such Neural Shareholder.

Distribution of Meeting Materials to Beneficial Holders

In accordance with NI 54-101, Neural is distributing copies of a voting instruction form in lieu of a proxy provided by Neural, to Intermediaries for distribution to Beneficial Shareholders and such Intermediaries are to forward a voting instruction form in lieu of a proxy provided by Neural, to each Beneficial Shareholder (unless the Beneficial Shareholder has declined to receive such materials). Applicable regulatory policy requires Intermediaries to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of Shareholders' meetings. Every Intermediary has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their Neural Shares are voted at the Meeting. Often the form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its


  • 11 -

Intermediary is identical to the form of proxy provided to Registered Shareholders. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the Registered Shareholders how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder.

Intermediaries often use a service company (such as Broadridge Financial Solutions Inc. ("Broadridge"), to permit the Beneficial Shareholders to direct the voting of Neural Shares held by the Intermediary on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. Neural is paying Broadridge to deliver, on behalf of the Intermediaries, a copy of a voting instruction form in lieu of a proxy provided by Neural, to each "non-objecting beneficial owner" ("NOBO") and each "objecting beneficial owner" ("OBO") (as those terms are defined in NI 54-101). Broadridge mails those forms to the Beneficial Shareholders and asks Beneficial Shareholders to return the forms to Broadridge. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of Neural Shares to be represented at the Meeting. A Beneficial Shareholder cannot use the voting instruction form to vote shares directly at the Meeting. The voting instruction form must be returned to Broadridge well in advance of the Meeting in order to have their Neural Shares voted.

Since Neural does not have access to the names of its Beneficial Shareholders, if a Beneficial Shareholder attends the Meeting, Neural will have no record of the Beneficial Shareholder's shareholdings or of its entitlement to vote unless the Beneficial Shareholder's nominee has appointed the Beneficial Shareholder as proxyholder. Therefore, a Beneficial Shareholder who wishes to vote by attending the Meeting must insert its own name in the space provided on the voting instruction form sent to the Beneficial Shareholder by its nominee, and sign and return the voting instruction form by following the signing and returning instructions provided by its nominee. By doing so, the Beneficial Shareholder will be instructing its nominee to appoint the Beneficial Shareholder as proxyholder. The Beneficial Shareholder should not otherwise complete the voting instruction form as its vote will be taken at the Meeting.

Subject to the provisions of NI 54-101, issuers may request and obtain a list of their NOBOs from Intermediaries directly or via their transfer agent and may obtain and use the NOBO list for the distribution of proxy-related materials to such NOBOs. If you are a NOBO and Neural or its agent has sent the Meeting Materials directly to you, your name, address and information about your holdings of Neural Shares have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the Intermediary holding Neural Shares on your behalf.

Neural's OBOs can expect to be contacted by their Intermediary. Neural does not intend to pay for Intermediaries to deliver the Meeting Materials to OBOs and it is the responsibility of such Intermediaries to ensure delivery of the Meeting Materials to their OBOs.

Voting by Beneficial Holders

Neural Shares held by Beneficial Holders can only be voted or withheld from voting at the direction of the Beneficial Holder. Without specific instructions, Intermediaries or clearing agencies are prohibited from voting Neural Shares on behalf of Beneficial Holders. Therefore, each Beneficial Holder should ensure that voting instructions are communicated to the appropriate person well in advance of the Meeting. The various Intermediaries have their own mailing procedures and provide their own return instructions to Beneficial Holders, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Holders in order to ensure that their Neural Shares are voted at the Meeting.

Beneficial Holders will receive either a voting instruction form or, less frequently, a form of proxy. The purpose of these forms is to permit Beneficial Holders to direct the voting of Neural Shares they beneficially own. Beneficial Holders should follow the procedures set out below, depending on which type of form they receive.

Voting Instruction Form. In most cases, a Beneficial Holder will receive, as part of the Meeting Materials, a voting instruction form (a "VIF"). If the Beneficial Holder does not wish to attend and vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on the Beneficial Holder's behalf), the VIF must be completed, signed and returned in accordance with the directions on the form.

or,

Form of Proxy. Less frequently, a Beneficial Holder will receive, as part of the Meeting Materials, a form of proxy that has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile, stamped signature) which is restricted as to the number of Neural Shares beneficially owned by the Beneficial Holder but which is otherwise not completed. If the Beneficial Holder does not wish to attend and vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on the Beneficial Holder's


  • 12 -

behalf), the Beneficial Holder must complete and sign the form of proxy and deliver it in accordance with the directions on the form.

Voting by Beneficial Holders at the Meeting

Although a Beneficial Holder may not be recognized directly at the Meeting for the purposes of voting Neural Shares registered in the name of an Intermediary or a clearing agency, a Beneficial Holder may attend the Meeting as proxyholder for the Registered Shareholder who holds Neural Shares beneficially owned by such Beneficial Holder and vote such Neural Shares as a proxyholder. A Beneficial Holder who wishes to attend the Meeting and to vote their Neural Shares as proxyholder for the Registered Shareholder who holds Neural Shares beneficially owned by such Beneficial Holder, should (a) if they received a VIF, follow the directions indicated on the VIF; or (b) if they received a form of proxy strike out the names of the persons named in the form of proxy and insert the Beneficial Holder's or its nominee's name in the blank space provided. Beneficial Holders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediaries, including those instructions regarding when and where the VIF or the form of proxy is to be delivered.

All references to shareholders in the Meeting Materials are to Registered Shareholders as set forth on the list of registered shareholders of Neural as maintained by Odyssey, unless specifically stated otherwise.

INFORMATION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements contained in this Circular that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation and under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to: (i) the completion and the effective date (the "Effective Date") of Neural acquiring the remaining 69.25% equity in interest ("Series B Transactions") in CWE European Holdings Inc. ("CWE"); (ii) the timing for delivery of direct registration statements and certificates representing the securities following the completion of Series B Transactions; (iii) the anticipated benefits and timing of the Series B Transactions and other matters to occur concurrently with Series B Transactions, including but not limited to consolidation of Neural Shares on the basis of one new Neural Share for every four existing Neural Shares outstanding ("Consolidation"), Neural changing its name to "Hanf.com Inc." or such other name as may be agreed upon by the parties ("Name Change") and election of directors; (iv) certain business and financial information disclosed about Neural; and (v) certain business and financial information disclosed about CWE.

In certain cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "plans", "expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "scheduled", "estimates", "intends", "objectives", "potential", "possible", "believes" or variations of such words and phrases or stating that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will be taken", or "occur". These forward-looking statements and forward-looking information are based, in part, on assumptions and factors that may change, thus causing actual results or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements or forward-looking information. Such assumptions and factors include: (i) the approval of the special resolution of Neural Shareholders, to approve the Series B Transactions (the "Series B Transactions Resolution"); and (ii) the receipt of the required governmental and regulatory approvals and consents.

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Neural, post- Series B Transactions, to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements and forward-looking information include, but are not limited to risks related to: (i) the limited operating history and lack of earnings history of Neural; (ii) limited earnings history of CWE; (iii) competition from other companies in the industries in which Neural and CWE operate; (iv) changes to government regulations regulating industries in which Neural and CWE operate; (v) changes to securities legislation; (vi) dependence on key personnel; (vii) conflicts of interest of directors and officers of Neural and CWE; (viii) general and local economic conditions; (ix) changes in interest rates; (x) availability of equity and debt financing to fund operations; (xi) lack of a liquid market for the securities of Neural; (xii) operational risks; (xiii) conclusions or economic evaluations; (xiv) delays in obtaining governmental approvals; and (xv) other risks factors described from time to time in the documents filed by Neural with applicable securities regulators, including in this Circular under the heading "Risk Factors".

Although Neural has attempted to identify important factors that could affect Neural and may cause actual actions, events


  • 13 -

or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements or forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements and information. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements or forward-looking information. The forward-looking statements and forward-looking information in this Circular are made based on management's beliefs, estimates and opinions on the date the statements are made and Neural does not undertake any obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements and forward-looking information contained herein to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof, except as required by law. Certain historical and forward-looking information contained or incorporated by reference in this Circular has been provided by, or derived from information provided by, certain persons other than Neural. Although Neural does not have any knowledge that would indicate that any such information is untrue or incomplete, Neural assumes no responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of such information or the failure by such other persons to disclose events which may have occurred or may affect the completeness or accuracy of such information but which is unknown to Neural.

NOTE TO UNITED STATES SHAREHOLDERS

Neural's securities have not been approved or disapproved by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") or by the securities regulatory authorities of any state of the United States, nor has the SEC or any such securities regulatory authority passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this Circular or the transactions contemplated hereby. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence.

The solicitation of proxies and the transactions contemplated by this Circular are being undertaken by a Canadian issuer in accordance with applicable Canadian corporate and securities laws. Accordingly, the solicitation of proxies is not subject to the proxy solicitation requirements of Section 14(a) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "U.S. Exchange Act"), in reliance on exemptions available to "foreign private issuers" (as such term is defined in Rule 3b-4 under the U.S. Exchange Act).

This Circular has been prepared in accordance with the disclosure requirements of Canadian securities laws, which differ in material respects from the disclosure requirements applicable to U.S. domestic issuers under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the U.S. Exchange Act. U.S. shareholders should be aware that such requirements differ from those applicable to registration statements and proxy statements prepared under U.S. securities laws.

The financial statements and other financial information included or incorporated by reference in this Circular have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and are subject to auditing and auditor independence standards applicable in Canada. Accordingly, such financial statements may not be comparable to financial statements of U.S. companies prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

U.S. shareholders should be aware that the transactions described in this Circular may have tax consequences for shareholders who are residents or citizens of the United States. Such tax consequences are not described in this Circular. U.S. shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the particular U.S. federal, state, local and other tax consequences applicable to them in light of their individual circumstances.

The enforcement of civil liabilities under U.S. federal securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that Neural is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, that most of its directors and officers reside outside the United States, and that a substantial portion of its assets may be located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for U.S. shareholders to effect service of process within the United States upon Neural or its directors or officers, or to enforce judgments obtained in U.S. courts based on civil liabilities under U.S. securities laws. In addition, it may be difficult for U.S. shareholders to enforce, in original actions, liabilities predicated upon U.S. federal or state securities laws in Canadian courts.

No broker, dealer, salesperson or other person has been authorized to give any information or make any representation other than those contained in this Circular, and, if given or made, such information or representation must not be relied upon as having been authorized by Neural.

REPORTING CURRENCIES AND ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

The historical financial statements of Neural contained in this Circular are reported in Canadian dollars and have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. All references to dollar amounts or "$" amount in this Circular are to Canadian dollars unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires.

INTERESTS OF CERTAIN PERSONS OR COMPANIES IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

Certain directors, executive officers and companies affiliated with them may be considered to have an interest in the matters to be acted upon at the Meeting as a result of their direct or indirect interests in the Series B Transactions (as hereinafter defined). Such interests include, without limitation, interests arising from the transfer of securities, the forgiveness or settlement of indebtedness, and related ancillary transactions. All such interests are described elsewhere in this Circular, including under the heading "Particulars of Matters to be Acted Upon - Approval of Series B Transactions with CWE".

Other than as disclosed in this Circular, no director or executive officer of Neural, nor any associate or affiliate of any such person, has any material interest, direct or indirect, in the matters to be acted upon at the Meeting that differs from the interests of shareholders generally.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF VOTING SECURITIES

The board of directors (the "Board") of Neural has fixed April 13, 2026 as the record date (the "Record Date") for determining persons entitled to receive notice and to vote at the Meeting and any adjournment(s) thereof. Only those Neural Shareholders who are recorded as such holders as at the close of business on the Record Date may attend the Meeting or vote at the Meeting by completing, signing and delivering a form of proxy in the manner and subject to the provisions described above and have their respective securities voted at the Meeting.

The authorized voting securities of Neural consist of an unlimited number of Neural Shares. As at the Record Date, there are 169,200,537 Neural Shares issued and outstanding, each carrying the right to one (1) vote at the Meeting per Neural Share.

Holders of fractional Neural Shares are entitled to receive any dividend declared on the Neural Shares in an amount equal to the dividend per Neural Shares multiplied by the fraction thereof held by such holder.

In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Neural, whether voluntary or involuntary, or in the event of any other distribution of assets of Neural among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, Neural Shareholders will be entitled to participate rateably along with all Neural Shareholders. Each fraction of a Neural Shares will be entitled to the amount calculated by multiplying such fraction by the amount payable per whole Neural Shares.

To the knowledge of Neural's directors and officers, and based on existing information as of the date hereof, no person or company currently owns, controls or directs, directly or indirectly, voting securities of Neural carrying 10% or more of the voting rights attached to any class of voting securities of Neural.

QUORUM AND VOTES NECESSARY TO PASS RESOLUTIONS

The quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting consists of person(s) present and holding or representing by proxy not less than ten percent (10%) of the total number of issued Neural Shares having voting rights at the Meeting.

An affirmative vote of 66 2/3% of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the Meeting is required to pass the special resolutions described herein. In addition, the Series B Transactions Resolution must be approved by a majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy thereon at the Meeting, excluding the votes of persons whose votes must be excluded in accordance with MI 61-101 (as defined herein). We anticipate that 99,304,576 Neural Shares will be excluded from this majority of the minority vote. A simple majority of affirmative votes cast at the Meeting is required to pass the ordinary resolutions described herein. If there are more nominees for election as directors than there are vacancies to fill, those


  • 15 -

nominees receiving the greatest number of votes will be elected or appointed, as the case may be, until all such vacancies have been filled.

PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The annual financial statements of Neural for the financial years ended July 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, together with the auditor's reports thereto and the related MD&As, all of which may be obtained from SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, will be presented to Neural Shareholders at the Meeting.

The unaudited pro forma financial information of the Resulting Issuer is included in this Circular as Schedule "G" which gives effect to the Series B Transactions and certain related adjustments described in the notes accompanying such financial information. The unaudited pro forma statement of financial position of the Resulting Issuer as at January 31, 2026 gives effect to the Series B Transactions as if they had closed on January 31, 2026. The unaudited pro forma financial information should be read together with the other financial information contained in or incorporated by reference in this Circular.

The unaudited pro forma financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not necessarily reflect what the Resulting Issuer's financial condition and results of operations following implementation of the Series B Transactions would have been had the Series B Transactions occurred on the dates indicated. It also may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of the operations of the Resulting Issuer following implementation of the Series B Transactions. The actual financial position and results of operations of Neural following implementation of the Series B Transactions may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected in the unaudited pro forma financial information due to a variety of factors.

Equity Incentive Plans

Neural Shareholders will be asked to approve, by ordinary resolution, to ratify, confirm and approve the adoption of the RSU Plan and the Option Plan, each to become effective upon completion of the Series B Transactions, subject to approval and completion of the Series B Transactions. See “Approval of Restricted Share Unit Plan” and “Approval of Stock Option Plan” in this Information Circular.

The Series B Transactions

In order to be effective, the Series B Transactions Resolution must be approved by a special resolution and, where required, by Minority Approval in accordance with MI 61-101. Under the Series B Transactions, Neural will, among other things, acquire (indirectly) 69.25% of the issued and outstanding shares of CWE European Holdings Inc. through a series of amalgamation transactions pursuant to the SIO Agreement. See “Particulars of Matters to be Acted Upon – Approval of the Series B Transactions” in this Circular.

Summary of the Series B Transactions

The Series B Transactions will be completed pursuant to the SIO Agreement dated May 28, 2025, as amended on February 13, 2026 and March 25, 2026, involving Neural, CWE and certain affiliates. The Series B Transactions are intended to result in Neural acquiring (indirectly) the remaining interest in CWE not already owned by Neural, such that CWE will become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Neural.

Reasons for the Series B Transactions

Neural believes that the Series B Transactions is in the best interests of Neural and Neural Shareholders for numerous reasons, including:

  • (a) the Series B Transactions will create a larger-scale entity with significant assets and increased access to capital;
  • (b) Neural’s due diligence review and investigations of the business, operations, financial condition, strategy and future prospects of CWE;
  • (c) the impact of the Series B Transactions on stakeholders and long-term shareholder interests;
  • (d) CWE’s business is located in a jurisdiction with favourable near-, medium- and long-term prospects for the CBD and cannabis industry;
  • (e) the strength of CWE’s management team;
  • (f) the need for Neural to find additional critical mass and a financeable business plan; and
  • (g) the Series B Transactions must be approved by the CSE and by the shareholders of Neural.

In the course of its deliberations, Neural Board also identified and considered a variety of risks and potentially negative factors, including, but not limited to, the risks described under the headings “Risk Factors” of the main body of this Circular as well as in Schedule “H”, Schedule “I” and Schedule “J”. These risk factors should be given particular consideration by Neural Shareholders in determining whether to approve the Series B Transactions Resolution and the other matters contemplated by this Circular.

The foregoing discussion summarizes the material information and factors considered by the Neural Board in their consideration of the Arrangement. The Neural Board collectively reached its unanimous decision with respect to the Arrangement in light of the factors described above and other factors that each member of the Neural Board felt were appropriate. In view of the wide variety of factors and the quality and amount of information considered, the Neural Board did not find it useful or practicable to, and did not make specific assessments of, quantify, rank or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors considered in reaching its determination. Individual members of the Neural Board may have given different weight to different factors. For further information on the reasons for the Arrangement, see “Particulars of Matters to be Acted Upon – Approval of Series B Transactions with CWE” in this Circular.

Principal Steps of the Series B Transaction

Prior to the Effective Date of the Series B Transactions, Neural will deliver the Series B Option Exercise Notice to CWE and, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the remaining conditions precedent under the SIO Agreement, the parties will proceed with the completion of the Amalgamations B, C and D to effect the acquisition by Neural (indirectly) of the remaining interest in CWE. The following is a summary of the principal steps of Series B Transactions:


  • 30 -

(a) in connection with the exercise of the Series B Option, and prior to the Effective Date, Neural will obtain the required shareholder approvals and the approvals required under applicable corporate law and the policies of the CSE;

(b) CWE Newco B and Neural Subco B will complete Amalgamation B, and each holder of CWE Newco B Shares will receive one Resulting Issuer Share for every CWE Newco B Share held;

(c) CWE Newco C and Neural Subco C will complete Amalgamation C, and each holder of CWE Newco C Shares will receive 0.9193 Resulting Issuer Shares for every CWE Newco C Share held;

(d) Amalco A, Amalco B and Amalco C will complete Amalgamation D to form Amalco D, following which Neural will (indirectly) hold 100% of the issued and outstanding CWE Shares, and certain outstanding securities of CWE Newco B and CWE Newco C will be exchanged for corresponding securities of the Resulting Issuer; and

(e) Following completion of the Amalgamations B, C and D, CWE will become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Neural (the Resulting Issuer), and the Resulting Issuer will continue as a listed issuer on the CSE, subject to CSE acceptance.

As a result of the Series B Transactions, Neural will (indirectly) acquire 69.25% of the issued and outstanding CWE Shares such that it holds 100% of issued and outstanding CWE Shares, and Neural Shareholders will continue to hold Neural Shares (which will represent shares of the Resulting Issuer following completion of the Series B Transactions). Following completion of the Series B Transactions, the Resulting Issuer will focus on the business of CWE, including the operation and growth of CWE’s hemp and CBD retail, e-commerce and related distribution platforms in Germany under the “Hanf.com” brand.

The Series B Transactions are subject to a number of conditions, including, among other things, CSE approval, approval by Neural Shareholders (including, where required, Minority Approval in accordance with MI 61-101) and the satisfaction or waiver of the applicable conditions precedent under the SIO Agreement.

In accordance with the requirements described under “Quorum and Votes Necessary to Pass Resolutions” in this Circular, the Series B Transactions Resolution must be approved by a majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the Meeting, excluding the votes of persons whose votes must be excluded in accordance with MI 61-101.

The Neural Board may, without further notice to or approval of Neural Shareholders and in accordance with the terms of the SIO Agreement, amend the SIO Agreement to the extent permitted by its terms and may elect not to proceed with the Series B Transactions (or any part thereof) at any time prior to completion, including by not delivering a Series B Option Exercise Notice.

The foregoing is a summary only. For further details, see “Particulars of Matters to be Acted Upon – Approval of Series B Transactions with CWE” in this Circular.

Effect of Series B Transactions

As a result of the Series B Transactions, Neural Shareholders will continue to hold their Neural Shares and will not receive any securities of a second public company solely by virtue of the Series B Transactions. In connection with, and subject to completion of, the Series B Transactions, it is anticipated that Neural will complete the Consolidation on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation Neural Share for every four (4) pre-consolidation Neural Shares and will complete the Name Change to “Hanf.com Inc.”, such that Neural Shareholders will hold shares of the Resulting Issuer, which will (indirectly) hold 100% of CWE.

Upon completion of the Series B Transactions, it is anticipated that the Resulting Issuer will continue to be a reporting issuer in the Reporting Jurisdictions and will continue to be listed on the CSE, subject to CSE acceptance of the Series B Transactions (and, as applicable, the Consolidation and the Name Change).

Recommendation of the Directors

After careful consideration, the Neural Board, after receiving legal and financial advice, has unanimously determined that the Series B Transactions are in the best interests of Neural and Neural Shareholders. Accordingly, Neural Board unanimously recommends that Neural Shareholders vote IN FAVOUR OF the Series B Transactions Resolution.

Upon completion of Series B Transactions, CWE will become an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Neural, and the Resulting Issuer will carry on CWE’s business as its primary business.

See "Schedule H – Information Concerning Neural" and "Schedule I – Information Concerning CWE" of this Circular for disclosure about each of Neural and CWE, on a current and post-Series B Transactions basis.

The Concurrent Financing

In connection with the completion of the Series B Transactions, and as a condition to completion of the Series B Transactions under the SIO Agreement, CWE intends to complete the Concurrent Financing, being a non-brokered private placement pursuant to which CWE will issue CWE Debentures for minimum aggregate gross proceeds of $500,000 and maximum aggregate gross proceeds of $1,000,000. CWE Debentures will be issued in form of CWE Debentures Units in the nominations of $1,000 principal amount per CWE Debenture, bearing an interest rate of 9% per annum, maturing two years from the date of issuance and convertible into Resulting Issuer Shares at a conversion price of CAD $0.12 per Resulting Issuer Share.

Following completion of Series B Transactions, each CWE Debenture will be exchanged for a corresponding Resulting Issuer Debentures. Following such exchange, the Resulting Issuer Debentures will be convertible into Resulting Issuer Shares in accordance with the terms described herein. It is anticipated that the Concurrent Financing will close immediately prior to the completion of the Series B Transactions.

If the Resulting Issuer Shares trade on a recognized stock exchange at a price equal to or greater than CAD $0.20 per Resulting Issuer Share for a period of ten (10) consecutive trading days, the Resulting Issuer, may elect to force the conversion of all outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Resulting Issuer Debentures into Resulting Issuer Shares at the price of $0.12 per Resulting Issuer Share. In such circumstances, Resulting Issuer will provide holders with not less than twenty (20) days’ prior written notice of the mandatory conversion. During such notice period, holders will retain the right to voluntarily convert their debentures.

In connection with Concurrent Financing, CWE may pay eligible finders a cash fee of up to 8% of the gross proceeds raised under Concurrent Financing. In addition, CWE may issue CWE CC Broker Warrants equal to 8% of the number of Resulting Issuer Shares issuable upon conversion of the Resulting Issuer Debentures sold through such finder, calculated based on the price of $0.12 per Resulting Issuer Share. Each CWE CC Broker Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one Resulting Issuer Share at an exercise price of CAD $0.12 per Resulting Issuer Share for a period of two (2) years from the date of issuance. Immediately prior to completion of the Transaction, such CWE CC Broker Warrants will be exchanged for an equal number of Resulting Issuer CC Broker Warrants.

See "Material Terms of the SIO Agreement – Series B Transactions Terms" and the definitions of "Concurrent Financing", "CWE Debentures", "CWE Debenture Units" and "CWE CC Broker Warrants" in the Glossary of Terms in this Circular. Pro Forma Business Objectives

Upon completion of Series B Transactions, the Resulting Issuer will continue to hold its existing assets, including cash and cash equivalents, amounts receivable, prepaid amounts and other assets, deposits and other customary corporate assets. As a result of the Series B Transactions, the Resulting Issuer will (indirectly) hold 100% of CWE and expects to carry on CWE’s business as its primary business. The Resulting Issuer intends to concentrate its activities primarily on the operation and growth of CWE’s hemp-derived product retail and e-commerce platform in Germany under the “Hanf.com” brand, including continued expansion of its retail footprint and online sales channels, development of related distribution initiatives and other complementary growth opportunities, in each case in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations

Securityholders should consult their own tax advisors about the applicable Canadian federal, provincial, and local tax consequences of the Arrangement. Series B Transactions may give rise to tax consequences and shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences applicable to their particular circumstances.

Securities Laws Information for Neural Shareholders

The following disclosure is provided as general information only. Each Neural Shareholder should consult his, her or its own professional advisors to determine the conditions and restrictions applicable to trades in Neural Shares (including, if implemented, the post-Consolidation Neural Shares) and, where applicable, the Resulting Issuer Shares to be issued in connection with the Series B Transactions.

The Series B Transactions contemplate the issuance of Resulting Issuer Shares to holders of CWE Newco B Shares and CWE Newco C Shares.

Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws (including resale provisions and any applicable escrow requirements), Resulting Issuer Shares issued pursuant to the Series B Transactions will generally be freely tradeable in Canada and may be resold in each province and territory of Canada, provided that such resales are not "control distributions" within the meaning of applicable securities legislation. Certain Resulting Issuer Shares may be subject to escrow requirements as described in this Circular.

Neural Shareholders should also review the discussion under the headings "Securities Laws Considerations", including "Canadian Securities Laws Considerations", "United States Securities Law Considerations" and "Foreign Securities Law Considerations", in this Circular

The persons designated as proxyholders in the accompanying proxy (absent contrary directions) intend to vote to set the number of directors of Neural and to vote for the election of the directors as set forth above. Shareholders can vote for all of the proposed directors set forth herein, vote for some of them and withhold for others, or withhold for all of them. Neural does not contemplate that any of such nominees will be unable to serve as directors; however, if for any reason any of the proposed nominees do not stand for election or are unable to serve as such, proxies held by the persons designated as proxyholders in the accompanying proxy will be voted for another nominee in their discretion unless the Shareholder has specified in his or her form of proxy that their Neural Shares are to be withheld from voting in the election of directors. Each director elected as a Current Slate director will hold office from the close of the Meeting until the earlier of: (i) the next annual meeting of Shareholders or until their successors are elected or appointed; or (ii) until the Change of Board Time, as the case may be; and (iii) each director elected as a New Slate director will hold office from the Change of Board Time until the next annual meeting of Shareholders or until their successors are elected or appointed, all as the case may be, unless his office is earlier vacated in accordance with the Articles or the provisions of the OBCA.

C. APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS AND FIXING THE REMUNERATION

Unless authority to vote is withheld, the persons named in the accompanying form of proxy intend to vote for the appointment of Kreston as the auditor of Neural, to hold office until the next annual meeting of the shareholders, and to authorize the directors to fix the auditor's remuneration.

Kreston was first appointed as auditor of Neural on April 15, 2026. Prior to Kreston, Horizon was auditor of Neural. In accordance with the provisions of NI 51-102, attached to this Circular as Schedule "N", is the requisite reporting package, including the notice of Neural to Horizon and Kreston stating that there are no reportable events and the letters of each of Horizon and Kreston to the OSC, Authorité des Marchés Financiers, British Columbia Securities Commission and Alberta Securities Commission.

UNLESS THE SHAREHOLDER DIRECTS THAT HIS, HER OR ITS NEURAL SHARES ARE TO BE WITHHELD FROM VOTING IN CONNECTION WITH THE CONFIRMATION AND APPOINTMENT OF THE AUDITORS, THE PERSONS NAMED IN THE ENCLOSED FORM OF PROXY INTEND TO VOTE FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF KRESTON GTA LLP, LICENSED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS AS THE AUDITORS OF NEURAL UNTIL THE NEXT ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS AND TO AUTHORIZE THE DIRECTORS TO FIX THEIR REMUNERATION.

Neural Shareholders will be asked to approve the resolution appointing the auditors and authorizing the directors to fix their remuneration. To be approved, the resolution must be passed by a majority of the votes cast by Neural Shareholders at the Meeting. Management recommends a vote FOR in respect of the resolution approving the appointment of the auditor and authorizing the directors to fix the auditor's remuneration.

D. APPROVAL OF NAME CHANGE

Neural Shareholders will be asked to consider, and if thought appropriate, approve, with or without variation, the special resolution (the "Name Change Resolution") set forth in Schedule "D" to this Circular authorizing the amendment of the articles of incorporation of Neural to effect the change of the name of Neural to "Hanf.com Inc." or to such other name as is acceptable to Neural and the CSE (the "Name Change"). The Name Change is expected to be implemented following the completion of Series B Transactions. The Board and management of Neural are of the view that the name "Hanf.com Inc." will more accurately reflect the proposed business of the Resulting Issuer following completion of Series B Transactions. The Name Change is subject to CSE approval.

The Name Change Resolution must be approved by at least two-thirds (2/3) of the votes cast by Neural Shareholders present in person or voting by proxy at the Meeting in order for it to be adopted. The Board and management of Neural recommend that Neural Shareholders vote FOR the Name Change Resolution and unless the shareholder has specified in the form of proxy that Neural Shares represented by such form of proxy are to be voted against the Name Change Resolution.

The Name Change will not be effective until all applicable filings are complete. The Board reserves the right to revoke all or part of the articles of amendment at any time prior to their becoming effective, or to not proceed with the filing of the articles of amendment at all.

E. APPROVAL OF CONSOLIDATION OF NEURAL SHARES

The Consolidation is proposed to be undertaken in order to align the value of Neural Shares to the price per Neural Share at which the Series B Transactions will be completed. At the Meeting, Neural Shareholders will be asked to approve the proposed Consolidation of the issued and outstanding Neural Shares to be completed concurrently with the completion of the Series B Transactions, on the basis of approximately one (1) post-Consolidation Neural Share for every four (4) pre-Consolidation Neural Shares, such that there shall be approximately 42,300,134 Neural Shares issued and outstanding immediately after the Consolidation, but prior to the closing of the Series B Transactions.

As of the date of this Circular, Neural has 169,200,537 Neural Shares issued and outstanding. If the Consolidation is approved by Neural Shareholders and implemented by the Board, the number of Neural Shares underlying the Resulting Issuer Convertible Securities and the exercise price thereof will be adjusted in accordance with the terms of the applicable securities or the plans governing such securities based on the applicable consolidation ratio applied to the Consolidation.

Summary of the Consolidation

Effective Date

The effective date of the Consolidation shall be determined, at the sole discretion of the Board, to take place concurrently with the Series B Transactions and after the receipt of the approval of the Series B Transactions Resolution, the Name Change Resolution and the Consolidation Resolution. If for any reason, the requisite shareholder approvals are not obtained for the Series B Transactions, the Board, in its sole discretion, may suspend altogether or postpone the proposed Consolidation.

Exchange of Securities

Non-registered shareholders holding their Neural Shares through a bank, broker or other nominee should note that such banks, brokers or other nominees may have various procedures for processing the Consolidation. If a Shareholder holds Neural Shares with such a bank, broker or other nominee and has any questions in this regard, the Shareholder is encouraged to contact its nominee. No fractional post-Consolidation Neural Shares will be issued upon the Consolidation. If as a result of the Consolidation, a Shareholder becomes entitled to a fractional post-Consolidation Neural Share, such fraction will be rounded down to the nearest whole number. If the Consolidation is approved by Neural Shareholders and implemented by the Board, the registered Neural Shareholders who hold their Neural Shares in form of direct registration statements, will receive new direct registration statements representing pre-Consolidation Neural Shares via mail or email.

In order to be adopted, the Consolidation Resolution must be approved by at least two-thirds (66 $\frac{2}{3}%$ ) of the votes cast by the holders of Neural Shares, either present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting. If the Consolidation Resolution is adopted by the shareholders at the Meeting, Neural currently intends to file the articles of amendment contemporaneously with the completion of the Series B Transactions. The articles of amendment will not have any effect on the operations of Neural, other than as noted above. The Consolidation remains subject to regulatory approval, including without limitation, approval of the CSE.

Consolidation Resolution

Neural Shareholders are asked to consider and approve a special resolution authorizing Neural to carry out the Consolidation. At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass, with or without variation, the following Consolidation Resolution:

"BE IT RESOLVED AS A SPECIAL RESOLUTION THAT, subject to the requisite Shareholder approvals for the Series B Transactions Resolution as set out in Schedule "A" attached to the information circular of Neural Therapeutics Inc. ("Neural") dated April 15, 2026:

  1. Neural is hereby authorized to file articles of amendment with the Ontario Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery and Procurement to amend the articles of Neural such that the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company (the "Neural Shares") immediately upon the effective date of such articles of amendment be consolidated on the basis of one (1) "new" common share for every four (4) "old" Neural Share outstanding (the "Consolidation"), or such other ratio that results in Neural having approximately 42,300,134 Neural Shares issued and outstanding following the Consolidation.

  • 50 -
  1. in the event that a Neural Shareholder would otherwise be entitled to a fractional Neural Share as a result of the Consolidation, the number of Neural Shares issued to that Shareholder shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Neural Share, no compensation will be issued to Shareholders as a result of rounding down;

  2. the board of directors of Neural, in their sole and complete discretion, are authorized and empowered to act upon this special resolution to effect the Consolidation and to determine the actual Consolidation ratio such that there shall be approximately 42,300,134 Neural Shares issued and outstanding post-Consolidation;

  3. the articles of amendment in respect of the Consolidation shall be in such form as may be approved by any officer or director of the Company in order to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) and the Director appointed thereunder, as the same may be amended from time to time;

  4. the board of directors of Neural is authorized, in its sole discretion, to determine not to proceed with the Consolidation without further approval of the shareholders of the Company any time prior to the endorsement by the Director of the articles of amendment in respect of the Consolidation; and

  5. any one officer or director of Neural is hereby authorized and directed, for and on behalf of and in the name of Neural to execute, under the seal of Neural or otherwise, and to deliver, all documents, agreements and instruments and to do all such other acts and things, as such officer or director, may deem necessary or desirable to implement the foregoing resolutions and the matters authorized hereby, such determination to be conclusively evidenced by the execution and delivery of any such documents, agreements or instruments or doing of any such act or thing."

After careful consideration of all relevant factors relating to the Consolidation, the Board recommends that Neural Shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of the Consolidation Resolution. Unless you give instructions otherwise, the Management Appointees intend to vote any proxies received and not indicated FOR the Consolidation Resolution.

F. APPROVAL OF RESTRICTED SHARE UNIT PLAN

On January 6, 2023, in connection with the 2023 Neural Meeting, Neural Shareholders adopted the RSU Plan, a copy of which has been appended as Schedule "D" to this Circular. The material terms and conditions of the RSU Plan are set out under the heading "Executive Compensation" of this Circular.

In connection with the Series B Transactions, Neural Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to approve, with or without variation, an ordinary resolution approving the re-adoption of the RSU Plan ("Resulting Issuer RSU Plan Resolution"), substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule "D", which will be effective upon the completion of the Series B Transactions and will become the restricted share unit incentive plan of the Resulting Issuer (the "Resulting Issuer RSU Plan").

The purpose of the Resulting Issuer RSU Plan is to allow for certain discretionary bonuses and similar awards as an incentive and reward for selected directors, officers and employees related to the achievement of long-term financial and strategic objectives of the Resulting Issuer and the resulting increases in shareholder value. The Resulting Issuer RSU Plan is intended to promote a greater alignment of interests between the shareholders of the Resulting Issuer and the selected directors, officers, and employees by providing an opportunity to participate in increases in the value of the Resulting Issuer.

The Resulting Issuer RSU Plan and the Resulting Issuer Option Plan (see "Particulars of the Matters to be Acted Upon - Approval of Stock Option Plan") are being presented for Neural Shareholder re-approval at the Meeting. Pursuant to CSE Policies, both plans are structured as "rolling 10%" security-based compensation arrangements and therefore require shareholder re-approval every three years or upon material amendment. The proposed Resulting Issuer RSU Plan reflects the terms of the plan as approved by the Board and remains substantially the same as the plan approved at the 2023 Neural Meeting.

As of the date of this Circular, 4,520,000 RSU's have been granted and 4,020,000 RSU's are outstanding under the RSU Plan.

The text of the Resulting Issuer RSU Plan Resolution is as follows:

"BE IT RESOLVED as an ordinary resolution of the shareholders that:


  • 51 -
  1. the restricted share unit plan substantially in the form attached as Schedule "D" to the information circular (the "Circular") prepared for the annual general and special meeting of Neural Therapeutics Inc. (the "Company") held on May 25, 2026 (the "Resulting Issuer RSU Plan"), be and is hereby approved and adopted as the equity incentive plan of the Resulting Issuer (as defined in the Circular);

  2. any one director or officer may amend the form of the Resulting Issuer RSU Plan in order to satisfy the requirements or requests of any regulatory authorities, including the Canadian Securities Exchange, without requiring further approval of the shareholders of the Company; and

  3. any one director or officer of the Company is authorized and directed, on behalf of the Company, to take all necessary steps and proceedings and to execute, deliver and file any and all declarations, agreements, documents and other instruments and do all such other acts and things (whether under corporate seal of the Company or otherwise) that may be necessary or desirable to give effect to this resolution."

The requisite regulatory approvals for the Resulting Issuer RSU Plan, including the approvals of the CSE (or any other stock exchange on which the Resulting Issuer Shares may be listed), may not be sought by Neural until after the Meeting. There can be no assurance that the applicable regulatory approvals for the Resulting Issuer RSU Plan will be obtained.

The Board recommends that the Shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of the Resulting Issuer RSU Plan Resolution. Unless you give instructions otherwise, the Management Appointees intend to vote any proxies received FOR the Resulting Issuer RSU Plan Resolution.

The Resulting Issuer RSU Plan Resolution is an ordinary resolution which is required to be approved by greater than fifty percent (50%) of the votes cast by those Neural Shareholders who (being entitled to do so) vote in person or by proxy at the Meeting.

G. APPROVAL OF STOCK OPTION PLAN

On January 6, 2023, in connection with the 2023 Neural Meeting, Neural Shareholders adopted the Option Plan, appended as Schedule "E" to this Circular. The material terms and conditions of the Option Plan are set out under the heading "EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION" of this Circular.

In connection with the Series B Transactions, Neural wishes to obtain Neural Shareholder approval. At the Meeting, Neural Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to approve, with or without variation, an ordinary resolution (the "Resulting Issuer Option Plan Resolution") approving the re-adoption of the Neural Option Plan. This plan, substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule "E", will, effective upon the completion of the Series B Transactions, become the stock option plan of the Resulting Issuer (the "Resulting Issuer Option Plan").

The purpose of the Resulting Issuer Option Plan is to allow for certain discretionary bonuses and similar awards as an incentive and reward for selected directors, officers and employees related to the achievement of long-term financial and strategic objectives of the Resulting Issuer and the resulting increases in shareholder value. The Resulting Issuer Option Plan is intended to promote a greater alignment of interests between the shareholders of the Resulting Issuer and the selected directors, officers, and employees by providing an opportunity to participate in increases in the value of the Resulting Issuer.

The Resulting Issuer Option Plan together with the Resulting Issuer RSU Plan (see "Particulars of the Matters to be Acted Upon - Approval of Restricted Share Unit Plan") are being presented for shareholder re-approval at the Meeting. Pursuant to CSE Policies, both plans are structured as "rolling 10%" security-based compensation arrangements and therefore require shareholder re-approval every three years or upon material amendment. The proposed Resulting Issuer Option Plan reflects the terms of the plan as approved by the Board and remains substantially the same as the plan approved at 2023 Neural Meeting.

As of the date of this Circular, 725,000 Options have been granted or are outstanding under the Option Plan.

The text of the Resulting Issuer Option Plan Resolution is as follows:

"BE IT RESOLVED as an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders that:

  1. the stock option plan substantially in the form attached as Schedule "E" to information circular (the "Circular") prepared for the annual general and special meeting of Neural Therapeutics Inc. (the "Company") held on May 25, 2026 (the "Resulting Issuer Option Plan"), be and is hereby approved and

  • 52 -

adopted as the equity incentive plan of the Resulting Issuer (as defined in the Circular);

  1. any one director or officer may amend the form of the Resulting Issuer Option Plan in order to satisfy the requirements or requests of any regulatory authorities, including the Canadian Securities Exchange, without requiring further approval of the shareholders of the Company; and

  2. any one director or officer of the Company is authorized and directed, on behalf of the Company, to take all necessary steps and proceedings and to execute, deliver and file any and all declarations, agreements, documents and other instruments and do all such other acts and things (whether under corporate seal of the Company or otherwise) that may be necessary or desirable to give effect to this resolution."

The requisite regulatory approvals for the Resulting Issuer Option Plan, including the approvals of the CSE (or any other stock exchange on which the common shares in the capital of the Resulting Issuer may be listed), may not be sought by Neural until after the Meeting. There can be no assurance that the applicable regulatory approvals for the Resulting Issuer Option Plan will be obtained.

The Board recommends that the Shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of the Resulting Issuer Option Plan Resolution. Unless you give instructions otherwise, the Management Appointees intend to vote any proxies received FOR the Resulting Issuer Option Plan Resolution.

The Resulting Issuer Option Plan Resolution is an ordinary resolution which is required to be approved by greater than fifty percent (50%) of the votes cast by those Neural Shareholders who (being entitled to do so) vote in person or by proxy at the Meeting.

H. APPROVAL OF SERIES B TRANSACTIONS WITH CWE

At the Meeting, Neural Shareholders will be asked to approve the Series B Transactions Resolution, substantially in the form set out in Schedule "A" to this Circular.

In order to be effective, the Series B Transactions Resolution must be passed by two-thirds of the votes cast by Neural Shareholders who vote at the Meeting either in person or by proxy as well as a simple majority of the votes cast by Neural Shareholders, excluding any persons required to be excluded in accordance with MI 61-101. It is anticipated that up to 99,304,576 Neural Shares held by Series B Interested Parties will be excluded from this vote, representing approximately 58.9% of the votes attached to the issued and outstanding Neural Shares. See section titled "Series B Transactions Resolution – Minority Shareholder Approval Required under MI 61-101" for additional information.

The Board was unanimous in its determination that the Series B Transactions are in the best interests of Neural and Neural Shareholders and it is its recommendation that Shareholders vote IN FAVOUR OF the Series B Transactions Resolution, a copy of which is set out in Schedule "A" attached to this Circular. Unless you give instructions otherwise, the Management Appointees intend to vote FOR the Series B Transactions Resolution.

Background to Series B Transactions

The following is a summary of key background events leading to the execution of the SIO Agreement and the contemplated Series B Transactions.

  • On September 27, 2024, Neural and CWE executed the LOI, whereby Neural proposed to acquire an equity interest in CWE. The LOI outlined a two-stage investment option (Series A Option and Series B Option) for Neural to ultimately acquire up to 100% of CWE's shares, pending completion of definitive agreements and certain conditions.
  • On October 3, 2024, Neural publicly announced its partnership with Hanf.com and the LOI.
  • On November 15, 2024, Neural and CWE amended the LOI to extend its term to December 31, 2024. The LOI was subsequently amended on several occasions, with the most recent amendment executed on April 30, 2025, further extending the term and deadline to May 31, 2025. This amendment was ultimately superseded by the SIO Agreement.
  • On March 17, 2025, Neural Shares commenced trading on the CSE under the ticker symbol "NURL", marking the completion of Neural's go-public process via a "direct listing".

  • On May 28, 2025, Neural and CWE entered into SIO Agreement, which superseded the LOI and set out definitive terms for the multi-step combination. See section titled "Material Terms of the SIO Agreement".
  • On July 17, 2025, CWE Shareholders approved the transactions contemplated by the SIO Agreement at an annual and special meeting of CWE Shareholders, including the CWE Reorganization. CWE Shareholders consented to exchange their CWE Shares for shares of three new CWE subsidiaries (CWE Newco A, B, and C) as required for Amalgamation A and the subsequent Amalgamation B and C steps, leading up to Series B Transactions.
  • On August 13, 2025, Neural and CWE announced the completion of Amalgamation A, whereby Neural Subco A amalgamated with CWE Newco A, forming Amalco A and as a result of which, Neural acquired approximately $30.75%$ of CWE's equity in exchange for issuing 79,999,960 Neural Shares to former CWE Shareholders.
  • On February 13, 2026 and on March 25, 2026, Neural and CWE agreed to amend the SIO Agreement to provide for, among other things, completion of the Concurrent Financing, additional security issuances by CWE and extension of the deadline to complete Series B Transactions to May 31, 2026.

Material Terms of the SIO Agreement

The following is a summary of certain material terms of the SIO Agreement. This summary is not intended to be comprehensive and does not include all information relating to the SIO Agreement. Shareholders are strongly encouraged to review the SIO Agreement (including any amendments thereto) in its entirety, as the respective rights and obligations of the parties are governed exclusively by the express terms and conditions of those agreements, and not by this summary or any other information contained in this Circular. The SIO Agreement is incorporated by reference into this Circular. Copies of the SIO Agreement and relevant amendments are attached as Schedule "A" hereto and are available under Neural's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

Certain capitalized terms used in this summary that are not otherwise defined in this Circular or in the Glossary of Terms have the meanings ascribed to them in the SIO Agreement.

Series B Option Exercise Mechanics

The SIO Agreement grants Neural the option, but not the obligation, to proceed with the Series B Transactions. Neural is under no requirement to complete the Series B Transactions unless and until it formally exercises the Series B Option in accordance with the terms of the SIO Agreement. After the completion of Amalgamation A (which occurred on August 13, 2025), Neural may choose to exercise the Series B Option by delivering a Series B Option Exercise Notice to CWE and the relevant CWE entities. The Series B Option Exercise Notice must include evidence of approval by Neural's board of directors confirming:

(i) Neural's intention to proceed with the Series B Transactions; and (ii) that the conditions precedent to completion of the Series B Transactions for the benefit of Neural have been satisfied or waived to Neural's satisfaction.

Upon delivery of the Series B Option Exercise Notice, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all remaining conditions precedent under the SIO Agreement, the parties are obligated to proceed with the completion of Amalgamations B, C and D in accordance with the terms of the SIO Agreement and the related amalgamation agreements.

In connection with the exercise of the Series B Option, and prior to the effective date of the Series B Transactions, Neural must obtain approval from Neural Shareholders.

Series B Transactions Terms

Pursuant to terms of the SIO Agreement, as consideration for the Series B Transactions, following the completion of Consolidation, the Resulting Issuer will issue an aggregate of up to 50,517,659 Resulting Issuer Shares at the Share Issuance Price, of which.

As consideration for the Series B Transactions, following the completion of Consolidation, the Resulting Issuer will issue an aggregate of 43,017,659 Resulting Issuer Shares at the Share Issuance Price, of which:

  • 18,034,266 Resulting Issuer Shares will be issued to the current holders of CWE Newco B Shares on the basis of

  • 54 -

one Resulting Issuer Share for every CWE Newco B Share held;

  • 23,045,793 Resulting Issuer Shares will be issued to the current holders of CWE Newco C Shares on the basis of 0.9193 Resulting Issuer Shares for every CWE Newco C Shares held; and
  • 1,937,600 Resulting Issuer Shares will be issued in satisfaction of Advisory Fee Shares.

In addition, the following convertible securities will be issued in connection with Series B Transactions:

  • former holders of CWE Newco B Replacement Warrant will receive one Resulting Issuer Compensation Warrant in exchange for each CWE Newco B Replacement Warrant, or an aggregate of 31,404,347 Resulting Issuer Compensation Warrants, exercisable into Resulting Issuer Shares at a price of $0.14 per Resulting Issuer Share until April 7, 2027;
  • former holders of CWE Advisory Warrant will receive one Resulting Issuer Advisory Warrant in exchange for each CWE Newco B Advisory Warrant, or an aggregate of 800,000 Resulting Issuer Advisory Warrants; and
  • former holders of CWE Debentures will receive an equal principal amount of Resulting Issuer Debentures of up to $1,000,000, convertible into Resulting Issuer Shares at a price of $0.12 per Resulting Issuer Share, subject to certain acceleration provisions.
  • former holders of CWE CC Broker Warrants will receive Resulting Issuer CC Broker Warrants in exchange for each CWE CC Broker Warrant, or an aggregate of up to 2,666,667 Resulting Issuer CC Broker Warrants assuming that the Concurrent Financing is fully subscribed.

Upon completion of Amalgamations B and C, Amalco A, Amalco B and Amalco C will amalgamate pursuant to Amalgamation D to form Amalco D, which will be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Resulting Issuer, and which will hold a 100% interest in CWE. Completion of the Series B Transactions is subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions as set out in the SIO Agreement.

The Resulting Issuer Shares issued pursuant to the Series B Transactions in exchange for CWE Newco B Shares, other than those issued to persons who are Related Persons of the Resulting Issuer and certain holders of Builder Shares, will not be subject to any contractual resale restrictions or statutory hold periods under Section 2.11 of NI 45-102, and will be freely tradable upon listing of the Resulting Issuer Shares on the CSE. In contrast, all the Resulting Issuer Shares issued in exchange for CWE Newco C Shares to holders of Builder Shares (as defined under applicable CSE Policies) and, together with all the Resulting Issuer Shares, Resulting Issuer Advisory Warrants, Resulting Issuer Replacement Warrants and, if applicable, Resulting Issuer Debentures issued to principals and other insiders of the Resulting Issuer in connection with the Series B Transactions, will be subject to escrow in accordance with NP 46-201 and CSE Policy 4. For additional information regarding the securities subject to escrow, see "Information Concerning the Resulting Issuer – Escrowed Securities". Securities issued in connection with the Concurrent Financing (including any underlying securities issuable upon conversion of Resulting Issuer Debentures) will be subject to the resale restrictions of four months and a day from the closing date of the Concurrent Financing.

Mutual Conditions Precedent to Completion of the Series B Transactions

The completion of the Series B Transactions is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of mutual conditions precedent, which are intended to ensure that the parties are able to complete the final step of the transaction in compliance with applicable law and stock exchange requirements. These conditions must be satisfied or waived on or before the effective date of the Amalgamations B, C and D comprising the Series B Transactions. The principal mutual conditions precedent include, among others, the following:

  • Neural must meet the applicable original listing requirements of the CSE following completion of the Series B Transactions, and the CSE must have conditionally approved the listing of Neural Shares, subject to completion of the Series B Transactions and satisfaction of customary listing conditions.
  • Amalgamation A and all related ancillary transactions must have been completed in accordance with the SIO Agreement, and no uncured material default or breach may have occurred in respect thereof.
  • The SIO Agreement must not have been terminated in accordance with its terms prior to completion of the Series B Transactions.

  • The agreements governing Amalgamations B, C and D and related ancillary documents must have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the applicable parties and must remain in full force and effect.
  • All required regulatory approvals, third-party consents and permits necessary to complete the Series B Transactions (including conditional approval of the CSE and acceptance of Neural Listing Statement) must have been obtained and remain in effect.
  • Since completion of the Amalgamation A, neither party may have entered into any transaction outside the ordinary course of business, or experienced any material adverse change, that would adversely affect its financial condition, business or assets, except as disclosed to and accepted by the other party.
  • No law, injunction, order or governmental action may be in effect that would prohibit or make illegal the completion of the Series B Transactions.
  • The final forms of the Amalgamation B, C and D agreements and related ancillary agreements must be agreed to by the parties, acting reasonably.
  • The Series B Transactions must be completed on or before May 31, 2026, being the completion deadline specified in the SIO Agreement.

Covenants of the Parties and Conduct Prior to Closing

The SIO Agreement contains customary covenants governing the conduct of Neural and CWE between the date of the agreement and the completion or termination of the Series B Transactions. These covenants are intended to preserve the value of the parties' businesses, facilitate completion of the Series B Transactions, and ensure compliance with applicable regulatory requirements.

  • Each of Neural and CWE has agreed that, from the date of the SIO Agreement until its termination, it will not take any action (or fail to take any action) that would reasonably be expected to cause its respective representations and warranties to become untrue or misleading in any material respect.

  • Each party has agreed to promptly notify the other of any material change affecting its business, operations, assets, liabilities or capital, or of any change in facts that could render any representation or warranty under the SIO Agreement misleading or untrue in any material respect. The parties have also agreed to discuss in good faith any developments that could reasonably require disclosure under the SIO Agreement.

  • Following delivery of the Series B Option Exercise Notice, neither Neural nor CWE may solicit or encourage proposals relating to an alternative transaction involving the sale of shares or assets, a merger, amalgamation, takeover bid, arrangement or similar transaction. Each party has also agreed to terminate any existing discussions of this nature and to promptly notify the other if it receives any unsolicited inquiry. This covenant does not obligate Neural to complete the Series B Transactions unless and until the Series B Option has been validly exercised.

  • Following delivery of the Series B Option Exercise Notice, each party has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Series B Transactions and to obtain all required regulatory approvals, including approvals of the CSE. During this period, except as contemplated by the SIO Agreement or the Series B Transactions, neither party may, among other things:

  • declare or pay dividends or make other distributions;

  • split, consolidate or reclassify its outstanding securities;

  • reorganize, amalgamate or merge with another person;

  • or acquire another business or material assets;

in each case where such action could reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay completion of the Series B Transactions.

  • The parties have agreed to cooperate in good faith and to use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file all required securities law filings, stock exchange submissions and other regulatory materials in connection with the Series B Transactions. This includes cooperating to obtain required consents, defending proceedings challenging the transaction, responding to regulatory requests, and providing reasonable access to information, subject to customary confidentiality protections.

For greater certainty, the obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts does not require either party to agree to materially adverse amendments to existing agreements or to incur material additional obligations solely to obtain consents or approvals.

Pro Forma Share Capitalization

The following pro forma capitalization information is intended to illustrate the relative ownership interests of Neural Shareholders and former CWE securityholders (on a post-Consolidation basis) upon completion of the Series B Transactions

  • former CWE Newco C and Newco B shareholders will collectively own approximately 43,017,659 Resulting Issuer Shares, representing approximately 50.4% of the issued and outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares on a non-diluted basis; and
  • Neural Shareholders will own approximately 42,300,134 Resulting Issuer Shares, representing approximately 49.6% of the issued and outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares on a non-diluted basis.

This information is provided for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to reflect the actual financial position or capitalization of the Resulting Issuer following completion of the Series B Transactions.

Ancillary Corporate Transactions Occurring Concurrently with Closing of Series B Transactions

SIO Agreement stipulates that following the completion of the Series B Transactions, the following board and management changes shall take place:

  • John Durfy, Alex Storcheus, Carlos Davidovich and Colin McLelland will resign from the Board;
  • Ronnie Jaegermann, Aaron Meckler, and Jörn Follmer will be appointed as directors of the Resulting Issuer;
  • Ronnie Jaegermann will be appointed as President, CEO and Corporate Secretary of the Resulting Issuer, replacing Ian Campbell; and
  • John Ross will be appointed as Chief Financial Officer of the Resulting Issuer, replacing Omar Gonzalez.

Following the completion of Series B Transactions, the Resulting Issuer's board was comprised of Ronnie Jaegermann, Aaron Meckler, Jörn Follmer, Ian Campbell and Eran Ovadya, which would occur at the Change of Board Time. Please see "Particulars of the Matters to be Acted Upon – Election of Directors" for more detail.

Effective as of the Closing Date:

  • NSCI, corporation 100% owned by Alex Storcheus, director of Neural shall forgive an aggregate amount of approximately $551,318 that it was assigned on November 15, 2024 pursuant to Deferral and Assignment

  • 61 -

Agreement (as defined and in the Neural Listing Statement) and an additional $26,039 that was constructively assigned to NSCI and remains as a part of accrued liabilities that will also be forgiven on the Closing Date.

  • FMICA, corporation in which Alex Storcheus, director of Neural holds an indirect non-controlling interest agreed to forgive an aggregate amount of approximately $170,000.
  • NSCI, corporation 100% owned by Alex Storcheus, director of Neural agreed to transfer an aggregate of 2,022,330 Resulting Issuer Shares at nominal consideration to certain principals of CWE who were shareholders of CWE Newco C, immediately following Amalgamation C. These Neural Shares were transferred pursuant to a contractual arrangement under the SIO Agreement, aimed at equalizing the total aggregate consideration received by the shareholders of CWE Newco C with those of former shareholders of CWE Newco A and CWE Newco B. As of the date of the Closing Date, these 2,022,330 Resulting Issuer Shares remained subject to the Second Escrow Agreement and were transferred to Jörn Follmer (1,831,545 Resulting Issuer Shares) and Ronnie Jaegermann (190,786 Resulting Issuer Shares), in reliance on Section 6.3(1)(a) of NP 46-201, as the transferees are incoming directors of the Resulting Issuer.

NSCI's proposed transfer of Resulting Issuer Shares described above, and debt forgiveness of each of FMICA and NSCI constitute "related party transactions" under the meaning of MI 61-101, as NSCI is a private company that is 100% owned by Alex Storcheus, a director of Neural and Alex Storcheus owns an indirect non-controlling interest in FMICA. Neural relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 (pursuant to subsections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a)) as the fair market value of the securities transferred to, and the consideration received from, the parties to the transaction did not exceed 25% of Neural's market capitalization. These transactions were approved by all of the independent directors of Neural. Neural did not file a material change report 21 days before the completion of these transactions as NSCI's acceptance was not confirmed at that time as all of the transactions are subject to completion of the Series B Transactions, among other things, which was subject to the Board exercising Series B Option.

Series B Transactions constitute a Fundamental Change of Neural pursuant to the policies of the CSE. Certain of the Resulting Issuer Shares held by the current CWE Newco B and CWE Newco C Shareholders, as all shares held by Related Persons of the Resulting Issuer will be subject to escrow conditions and applicable resale restrictions as required by applicable securities laws and CSE requirements. See "Information Concerning the Resulting Issuer - Escrowed Securities". The description of the SIO Agreement in this Circular is a summary only, is not exhaustive and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the Amalgamation Agreement, which is available on Neural's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca and which is incorporated by reference herein. A physical copy may be obtained on request without charge, see "Information Concerning Neural - Documents Incorporated by Reference".

Reasons for Series B Transactions and Recommendations

In making its determination and unanimous recommendation to approve the Transaction, the Board consulted with Neural's management and advisers and reviewed a significant amount of information and considered a number of factors, including the following:

  • Series B Transactions create a larger-scale entity with significant assets and increased access to capital;
  • Neural's due diligence review and investigations of the business, operations, financial condition, strategy and future prospects of CWE;
  • The impact of Series B Transactions on all stakeholders in Neural, including Neural Shareholders, employees and consultants, as well as the long term interests of Neural Shareholders;
  • CWE's business is located in the jurisdiction with favorable near-, medium- and long-term prospects for the CBD and cannabis industry with stable geopolitical outlooks;
  • The strength of CWE's management team;
  • The need for Neural to find additional critical mass to create shareholder value and a business plan that is financeable in the current market environment; and
  • Series B Transactions must be approved by the CSE and by the Shareholders of Neural.

In making its determination and recommendations, the Board, in consultation with Neural's management and advisors,


  • 62 -

considered a number of potential issues regarding risks (as described in greater detail under the heading Risk Factors) relating to the Transaction, including:

  • The market price of Neural Shares may fluctuate;
  • The Series B Transactions may not be completed;
  • Neural may fail to obtain minority shareholder approval, as required under MI 61-101;
  • Neural will incur costs even if the Series B Transactions are not completed;
  • The SIO Agreement may be terminated;
  • Neural may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the Series B Transactions;
  • Risk of continued minority ownership in CWE;
  • Listing and regulatory approval risk;
  • Concentration of Neural Share ownership following completion of the Series B Transactions;
  • Effect of general economic and political conditions; and
  • Certain risks associated with the Consolidation

The Board's reasons for recommending the approval of the Series B Transactions Resolution, a copy of which is set out in Schedule "A" attached to this Circular, include certain assumptions relating to forward-looking information, and such information and assumptions are subject to various risks. The Board believes that, overall, the anticipated benefits of the Series B Transactions to Neural outweigh these risks and negative factors. See "Information Concerning Forward-Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors" of this Circular.

The foregoing summary of information and factors considered by the Board is not intended to be exhaustive. In view of the variety of factors and the amount of information considered in connection with its evaluation of Series B Transactions, the Board did not find it practical to, and did not, quantify or otherwise attempt to assign any relative weight to each specific factor considered in reaching its determination and recommendation. The Board's recommendations were made in light of its knowledge of the business, financial condition and prospects of Neural, and on the advice of its advisors.

In addition to the other information and risk factors contained elsewhere in this Circular, there are certain risk factors specific to the Series B Transactions that should be carefully considered by shareholders, including those described under the headings "Risk Factors" of this Circular in addition to Schedule "H", Schedule "I" and Schedule "J" attached hereto. These risk factors should be given particular consideration by Neural Shareholders in determining whether to approve the Series B Transactions Resolution and the other matters contemplated by this Circular.

Effective Date of Series B Transactions

If the Series B Transactions Resolution is passed, and all other conditions under the SIO Agreement, as summarized under "Material Terms of the SIO Agreement – Conditions Precedent to Completion of Series B Transaction" herein, are satisfied or waived, the Series B Transactions will become effective on a date determined by Neural and CWE. Neural currently expects that the Series B Transactions will be completed during the fourth fiscal quarter of 2026 (being the period ending July 31, 2026) but there is no assurance of completion during this time period.

Securities Laws Considerations

The following summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, legal, tax or investment advice to any particular shareholder. This summary does not purport to describe all securities law considerations that may be applicable to a shareholder, and shareholders are urged to consult their own legal, tax and financial advisors regarding the consequences to them of the Series B Transactions having regard to their particular circumstances. Except as expressly described below, this Circular does not address securities law considerations applicable in jurisdictions other than Canada.


  • 63 -

Canadian Securities Laws Considerations

The following is a summary of certain Canadian securities law considerations applicable to the Series B Transactions. Neural is a reporting issuer in each of British Columbia, Alberta, Québec and Ontario, and Neural Shares are listed for trading on the CSE under the symbol "NURL."

The Resulting Issuer Shares to be issued to CWE Newco B Shares and CWE Newco C Shares pursuant to the Series B Transactions will be issued in reliance on available prospectus exemptions under applicable Canadian securities legislation, including those provided under NI 45-106.

Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, including resale provisions and any applicable escrow requirements, Resulting Issuer Shares issued pursuant to the Series B Transactions will be freely tradeable in Canada and may be resold in each province and territory of Canada, provided that such resales are not "control distributions" within the meaning of applicable securities legislation. Certain Resulting Issuer Shares may be subject to escrow requirements under NP 46-201, as more particularly described under the heading "Information Concerning the Resulting Issuer - Escrowed Securities."

No person has acted as an underwriter or registrant in connection with the Series B Transactions, and no underwriting commission, brokerage fee or similar compensation has been paid in connection with the issuance of Neural Shares pursuant to the Series B Transactions. The Series B Transactions do not constitute a distribution of securities requiring the involvement of a registered dealer, other than as may be required to facilitate secondary market trading in accordance with applicable securities laws.

United States Securities Law Considerations

To Neural's and CWE's knowledge, no holders of CWE Newco B Shares and CWE Newco C Shares that will receive Resulting Issuer Shares pursuant to the Series B Transactions are residents in the United States or are "U.S. persons" (as defined under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended). Accordingly, the Resulting Issuer Shares issued in connection with the Series B Transactions have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 or any state securities laws, and no reliance is being placed on any exemption thereunder.

Foreign Securities Law Considerations

CWE Newco B Shares and CWE Newco C Shares that will receive Resulting Issuer Shares pursuant to the Series B Transactions that are residents outside of Canada, including in the State of Israel, Federal Republic of Germany, Swiss Confederation, Kingdom of Belgium and Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China are responsible for ensuring that the receipt, holding and resale of Resulting Issuer Shares issued pursuant to the Series B Transactions complies with applicable securities laws in their respective jurisdictions. Neural has not taken, and does not intend to take, any action to register or qualify the Resulting Issuer Shares for distribution in any jurisdiction outside of Canada.

Minority Shareholder Approval Required under MI 61-101

MI 61-101 regulates certain types of transactions to ensure fair treatment of securityholders when, in relation to a transaction, there are persons in a position that could cause them to have an actual or reasonably perceived conflict of interest or informational advantage over other securityholders. If MI 61-101 applies to a particular transaction of a reporting issuer, then some of the following may be required: (i) enhanced disclosure in documents sent to securityholders, (ii) the approval of securityholders excluding, among others, "interested parties" (as defined in MI 61-101), (iii) a formal valuation of the affected securities, prepared by an independent and qualified valuator, and (iv) an independent committee of the board of the directors of the reporting issuer to carry out specified responsibilities. The securityholder protections provided by MI 61-101 go substantially beyond the requirements of corporate law.

The protections afforded by MI 61-101 apply to, among other transactions, "business combinations" (as defined in MI 61-101) which may terminate the interests of securityholders without their consent in certain circumstances. However, the Series B Transactions do not constitute a "business combination" for the purposes of MI 61-101, as it is not a transaction as a consequence of which the interest of any holder of an equity security of Neural may be terminated without the securityholder's consent. Accordingly, Neural has determined that Part 4 of MI 61-101 does not apply to the Series B Transactions.


  • 64 -

The protections afforded by MI 61-101 also apply to a "related party transaction" (as defined in MI 61-101), which is a transaction between an issuer and a person that is a related party of the issuer at the time the transaction is agreed to (whether or not there are also other parties to the transaction), as a consequence of which, either through the transaction itself or together with connected transactions, the issuer directly or indirectly, among other things, sells, transfers or disposes of an asset to the related party.

Neural determined that the Series B Transactions may be considered a “related party transaction” within the meaning of MI 61-101. In connection with the Series A Option exercise, certain former shareholders of CWE became shareholders of Neural and, as a result, are related parties of Neural for the purposes of MI 61-101. As of the completion of the Series A Option exercise, such persons collectively owned 79,999,960 Neural Shares, representing approximately 47.4% of the issued and outstanding Neural Shares (approximately 39.3% on a fully diluted basis). The Series B Transactions involve the acquisition by Neural of the remaining equity interests held by such related parties and may therefore constitute a related party transaction for the purposes of MI 61-101.

For the purposes of the minority shareholder approval required under MI 61-101, the following persons are considered “interested parties” and, accordingly, the votes attaching to such Neural Shares beneficially owned or controlled by such persons are required to be excluded from the minority approval calculation (collectively, the “Series B Interested Parties”):

  • the former shareholders of CWE who, upon the closing of the Series A Option exercise on August 13, 2025, received an aggregate of 79,999,960 Neural Shares (the “Former CWE Shareholders”). Such persons may be considered related parties of Neural for the purposes of MI 61-101 and are parties to the Series B Transactions, which involve the acquisition by Neural of their remaining equity interests.
  • Neural shareholders who collectively held 6,591,666 Neural Shares prior to the Series A Option exercise and who were also shareholders of CWE immediately prior to such exercise (the “Interlocking Shareholders”). These persons are related parties of Neural as a result of their participation in both CWE and Neural and may reasonably be considered to receive a collateral benefit in connection with the Series B Transactions.
  • an aggregate of 12,712,950 Neural Shares beneficially owned, controlled or directed, directly or indirectly, by Alex Storcheus, including 12,085,974 Neural Shares held by NSCI and 626,976 Neural Shares held by Mr. Storcheus’ spouse (the "Storcheus Shares"). Mr. Storcheus is considered an interested party as a result of the transfer of 8,089,321 escrowed Neural Shares to Jörn Follmer and Ronnie Jagermann in connection with the Series B Transactions, as more particularly described under the heading “Ancillary Corporate Transactions Occurring Concurrently with the Closing of the Series B Transactions.”

Each of the foregoing Series B Interested Parties is excluded from the minority approval vote based on the specific facts applicable to such persons and their respective interests in the Series B Transactions, and Neural has instructed Odyssey accordingly, including by providing the transfer agent with a list of shareholders whose votes are required to be excluded for the purposes of the minority approval calculation under MI 61-101. The exclusion of any such person is not based on any determination that such persons are acting jointly or in concert for the purposes of MI 61-101. Rather, each such person is excluded because such person is a related party of Neural and/or may reasonably be considered to receive a ‘collateral benefit’ (as such term is defined in MI 61-101) in connection with the Series B Transactions, the nature of which differs from the interests of Neural’s disinterested shareholders.

To the knowledge of Neural, after reasonable inquiry, the votes attaching to an aggregate of 99,304,576 Neural Shares, representing approximately 58.9% of the issued and outstanding Neural Shares as of the date of this Circular, are required to be excluded when determining whether Minority Shareholder Approval (as such term is defined under MI 61-101) has been obtained, as such Neural Shares are beneficially owned or controlled by Series B Interested Parties. The determination of which Neural Shareholders are excluded from the minority approval calculation has been made on an individual basis, having regard to the applicable definitions of “interested party,” “related party,” “joint actor,” and “collateral benefit” under MI 61-101.

For the purposes of MI 61-101, Minority Shareholder Approval requires the approval of a simple majority of the votes cast by holders of a class of “affected securities” (as defined in MI 61-101), voting as a single class, excluding the votes of: (i) interested parties; (ii) any related party of an interested party, unless such related party meets that description solely in its capacity as a director or senior officer of one or more persons that are neither an interested party nor an “issuer insider” (as defined in MI 61-101) of Neural; and (iii) any person that is acting jointly or in concert (as defined in MI 61-101) with any of the foregoing.


  • 65 -

Completion of the Series B Transactions is exempt from the formal valuation requirement under MI 61-101 pursuant to section 5.5(b) thereof, on the basis that none of the securities of Neural are listed or quoted on the Toronto Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Stock Market, or any stock exchange outside of Canada and the United States, other than the Alternative Investment Market of the London Stock Exchange or the PLUS market operated by PLUS Markets Group plc.

Except as otherwise disclosed in this Circular, to the knowledge of Neural after reasonable inquiry, no person who is: (i) a director or officer of Neural; or (ii) an associate or affiliate of an insider of Neural; (iii) an insider of Neural (other than a director or officer of Neural); or (iv) acting jointly or in concert (as defined in MI 61-101) with any of the foregoing, has received or will receive any collateral benefit (as defined in MI 61-101) in connection with the Series B Transactions.

Prior Valuations and Bona fide Prior Offers

During the 24 months preceding the date of entry into the SIO Agreement, except as otherwise disclosed in this Circular, Neural has not received any bona fide prior offer that is related to the subject matter of the Series B Transactions or that would otherwise be relevant to the Series B Transactions.

To the knowledge of Neural, after reasonable inquiry, there have been no “prior valuations” (as such term is defined in MI 61-101) of Neural, any of its subsidiaries, or any of their respective material assets or liabilities in the 24 months preceding the date of this Circular.

Specified Disclosure in Respect of Related Party Transactions

Pursuant to MI 61-101, Neural is required to include in this Circular certain disclosure prescribed by Form 62-104F2 – Issuer Bid Circular under National Instrument 62-104 – Take-Over Bids and Issuer Bids, to the extent applicable to the Series B Transactions and with such modifications as the circumstances require. Neural has included or incorporated by reference in this Circular the applicable disclosure required by Form 62-104F2 in respect of the Series B Transactions.

Statutory Rights of Action

Securities legislation in certain Canadian jurisdictions may provide shareholders with statutory rights of action for damages or rescission in respect of a misrepresentation in a circular or other disclosure document. These rights are subject to prescribed time limitations and other conditions. Shareholders should refer to the applicable securities legislation or consult their legal advisors regarding any rights that may be available to them.

Risk Factors Relating to Securities Law Matters

The issuance of Resulting Issuer Shares pursuant to the Series B Transactions is subject to regulatory approvals and compliance with applicable securities laws, and there can be no assurance that resale restrictions, escrow requirements or other regulatory conditions will not apply to certain shareholders. Failure to comply with applicable securities laws could result in restrictions on resale or other regulatory consequences.

OTHER BUSINESS

Neural will consider and transact such other business as may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment or adjournments thereof. Management of Neural knows of no other matters to come before the Meeting other than those referred to in the Notice of Meeting. Should any other matters properly come before the Meeting the Neural Shares represented by the proxies solicited hereby will be voted on such matter in accordance with the best judgement of the persons voting by proxy.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in Neural Shares is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Neural Shareholders should carefully consider all of the information contained in this Circular, together with the documents incorporated herein by reference, before making a decision with respect to the matters to be considered at the Meeting.

In addition to the general risk factors described elsewhere in this Circular, including under the headings "Information Concerning Neural – Risk Factors," "Information Concerning CWE – Risk Factors," and "Information Concerning the Resulting Issuer – Risk Factors," shareholders should also carefully consider the risk factors described in Neural's management's discussion and analysis, which form part of Neural's continuous disclosure record.

The following risk factors relate specifically to the Series B Transactions, Consolidation and Name Change and should be given special consideration by Neural Shareholders when evaluating whether to approve the Series B Transactions Resolution and the other matters contemplated by this Circular. The risk factors described below are not intended to be exhaustive, and additional risks and uncertainties, including risks that are currently unknown to Neural or that Neural currently believes to be immaterial, could adversely affect Neural, the Resulting Issuer, Neural Shares or the Resulting Issuer Shares.

Neural Shareholders should read and consider all of the risk factors described in this Circular and in Neural's public disclosure record available on Neural's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca, together with the other information contained in this Circular, in evaluating the Series B Transactions and the matters to be voted upon at the Meeting.

Market Price of Neural Shares May Fluctuate

The market price of Neural Shares may fluctuate significantly before, during and after the completion of the Series B Transactions and may be affected by a variety of factors, many of which are beyond the control of Neural. These factors include investor perception of the merits of the Series B Transactions, prevailing conditions in the capital markets, changes in applicable laws or regulations, macroeconomic conditions, and general market volatility.

If the Series B Transactions are not completed, or if completion is delayed, the market price of Neural Shares may decline to the extent that the current trading price reflects an assumption that the Series B Transactions will be completed or reflects anticipated benefits associated with full ownership of CWE.

The Series B Transactions May Not Be Completed

Completion of the Series B Transactions is subject to a number of conditions, including receipt of shareholder approval, minority shareholder approval under MI 61-101, regulatory approvals and the exercise of the Series B Option by Neural. Certain of these conditions are outside the control of Neural. There can be no assurance that these conditions will be satisfied or waived, or that the Series B Option will be exercised. If the Series B Transactions are not completed for any reason,


  • 67 -

Neural Shareholders may not realize the anticipated benefits of the transaction and the market price of Neural Shares could be adversely affected.

Failure to Obtain Minority Shareholder Approval under MI 61-101

The Series B Transactions constitute a “related party transaction” under MI 61-101 and require approval by a majority of the votes cast by disinterested shareholders. There can be no assurance that the requisite minority shareholder approval will be obtained. If such approval is not obtained, Neural will be unable to complete the Series B Transactions.

Neural Will Incur Costs Even If the Series B Transactions Are Not Completed

Neural has incurred, and will continue to incur, significant costs in connection with the Series B Transactions, including legal, accounting, advisory, regulatory and proxy solicitation expenses. These costs will be payable regardless of whether the Series B Transactions are completed and could adversely affect Neural’s financial condition if the Series B Transactions are not completed.

The SIO Agreement May Be Terminated

The SIO Agreement may be terminated by the parties in certain circumstances, including upon the failure to satisfy or waive applicable conditions precedent. There can be no assurance that the SIO Agreement will not be terminated prior to completion of the Series B Transactions. If the SIO Agreement is terminated, Neural may be required to pursue alternative strategies, and there can be no assurance that such alternatives would be available or completed on terms as favourable as those contemplated by the Series B Transactions.

Failure to Realize Anticipated Benefits of the Series B Transactions

In the event the Series B Transactions are completed, there can be no assurance that Neural will realize the anticipated strategic, operational or financial benefits of acquiring full ownership of CWE. The success of the Series B Transactions will depend on a number of factors, including the performance of CWE’s business, regulatory developments, and the ability of management to effectively integrate and operate CWE as a wholly owned subsidiary.

Risk of Continued Minority Ownership in CWE

If the Series B Transactions are not completed, Neural will continue to hold only a minority interest in CWE. As a minority shareholder, Neural may have limited influence over the operations, strategic direction and financial reporting of CWE. This may restrict Neural’s ability to obtain timely and complete financial information from CWE and could impair Neural’s ability to meet its ongoing public company disclosure obligations, which could adversely affect Neural’s regulatory compliance and market perception.

Listing and Regulatory Approval Risk

Completion of the Series B Transactions is subject to regulatory approvals, including acceptance by the CSE. There can be no assurance that such approvals will be obtained on a timely basis, on acceptable terms, or at all. Failure to obtain such approvals could prevent completion of the Series B Transactions or adversely affect Neural’s ability to maintain its listing on the CSE.

Concentration of Share Ownership Following Completion of the Series B Transactions

Upon completion of the Series B Transactions, a significant number of Resulting Issuer Shares will be issued to former CWE securityholders in exchange for CWE Newco B Shares and CWE Newco C Shares. As a result, such shareholders will collectively hold a substantial portion of the issued and outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares. Although no single shareholder is expected to acquire control of the Resulting Issuer and Neural is not aware of any such shareholders acting jointly or in concert, the collective ownership position of these shareholders may, if exercised in a coordinated or aligned manner, be capable of influencing the outcome of matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors and the approval of certain corporate transactions.

This concentration of Resulting Issuer Share ownership could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing transactions that are supported by other shareholders, or of influencing corporate governance and strategic decisions of the Resulting Issuer in a manner that may not be consistent with the interests of all shareholders. In addition, the issuance of a significant number of Resulting Issuer Shares may result in reduced liquidity and increased share price volatility in the public market.


  • 68 -

Effect of General Economic and Political Conditions

The completion of the Series B Transactions and the future operations of the Resulting Issuer may be materially affected by rapid or adverse changes in general economic, financial, or political conditions, including recessionary or inflationary trends, volatility in the equity and credit markets, changes in interest rates, reduced availability of capital, geopolitical events, or disruptions in global financial markets.

Such conditions may arise after shareholder approval has been obtained but prior to completion of the Series B Transactions, and could adversely affect the ability or willingness of the parties to satisfy or waive conditions precedent, obtain required regulatory approvals, or proceed with the transaction on the contemplated terms. As a result, there can be no assurance that the Series B Transactions will be completed, even if all required shareholder approvals are obtained

In addition, adverse economic or political developments could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Resulting Issuer following completion of the Series B Transactions.

Certain Risks Associated with the Consolidation

Following the implementation of the Consolidation, the aggregate market capitalization of the Resulting Issuer may be lower than its market capitalization immediately prior to the Consolidation. The market price of the Resulting Issuer Shares following the Consolidation may be affected by a number of factors, including market conditions at the time of implementation, the Resulting Issuer's progress in executing its strategic objectives, general economic and capital market conditions, and investor perception of the Consolidation.

A decline in the market price of the Resulting Issuer Shares following the Consolidation may result in a greater percentage decline than would have occurred in the absence of the Consolidation. Although the market price of the Resulting Issuer Shares will continue to be influenced by factors unrelated to the number of Resulting Issuer Shares outstanding, including the Resulting Issuer's financial performance and prospects, there can be no assurance that the Consolidation will have a positive effect on the market price of the Resulting Issuer Shares or Neural Shares, as the case may be.

In addition, the Consolidation will result in a reduced number of Resulting Issuer Shares outstanding, which could adversely affect the liquidity of the Resulting Issuer Shares. Certain shareholders may also hold odd lots of Neural Shares following the Consolidation. Shares held in odd lots may be more difficult to sell, or may be sold at relatively higher transaction costs, than shares held in standard board lots.

Certain Risks Associated with Name Change

Neural proposes to change its name to "Hanf.com Inc." in connection with the Series B Transactions. There can be no assurance that the proposed name change will be positively received by investors, regulators, business partners or other market participants. The new corporate name may be perceived by some investors as unconventional or suggestive, which could adversely affect investor perception, market acceptance, or demand for Neural Shares or Resulting Issuer Shares.

The change of name may also result in temporary confusion among investors, analysts, brokers or other market participants, including confusion relating to the Company's trading symbol, branding, public disclosure record or historical performance. Such confusion could adversely affect the liquidity or market price of Neural Shares or the Resulting Issuer Shares, particularly in the period immediately following the Name Change. In addition, the change of name may give rise to operational and administrative costs, including costs associated with updating corporate records, branding, marketing materials, contractual documents and regulatory filings. There can be no assurance that the anticipated benefits of the name change, including increased brand recognition or market visibility, will be realized.

Unforeseen Tax Consequences

The Series B Transactions may give rise to tax consequences for Neural and its shareholders. Tax laws are complex and subject to change, and there may be adverse tax consequences that are not currently anticipated. Shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences applicable to their particular circumstances.

Unknown Risks

This Circular contains disclosure that Neural believes is accurate and complete in all material respects. However, there may be risks, uncertainties or regulatory developments relating to the Series B Transactions that are currently unknown to Neural, which could have a material adverse effect on Neural, CWE, the Resulting Issuer or the market price of Neural Shares or the Resulting Issuer Shares.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

NI 52-110 requires that certain information regarding the audit committee of a "venture issuer" (as that term is defined in NI 52-110) be included in the Circular sent to shareholders in connection with the issuer's annual meeting. Neural is a "venture issuer" for the purposes of Part 6 of NI 52-110.

The Audit Committee is responsible for Neural's financial reporting process and quality of its financial reporting. The Audit Committee is charged with the mandate of providing independent review and oversight of Neural's financial reporting process, the system of internal controls and management of financial risks, and the audit process, including the selection, oversight and compensation of Neural's external auditors. In performing its duties, the Audit Committee maintains effective working relationships with the Board, management, and the external auditors and monitors the independence of those auditors. The full text of the charter of the Audit Committee is attached hereto as Schedule "F".

Composition of the Audit Committee

The Audit Committee is comprised of the following:

Name Independent^{(1)} Financially Literate^{(2)}
John Durfy No Yes
Colin McLelland (Chair) Yes Yes
Carlos Davidovich Yes Yes

Notes:

(1) A member of the Audit Committee is independent if the member has no direct or indirect material relationship with Neural, which could, in the view of the Board, reasonably interfere with the exercise of a member's independent judgment.

(2) An individual is financially literate if he or she has the ability to read and understand a set of financial statements that present a breadth of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of the issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by Neural's financial statements.

Relevant Education and Experience

Biographies of the members of Audit Committee in "Particulars of Matters to be Acted Upon – Election of Directors – Current Slate" contain descriptions of the education and experience of each member of the Audit Committee that is relevant to the performance of their responsibilities as Audit Committee members and, in particular, any education or experience that would provide each member with:

  1. an understanding of the accounting principles used by Neural to prepare its financial statements;
  2. the ability to assess the general application of such accounting principles in connection with the accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves;
  3. experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by Neural's financial statements, or experience actively supervising one or more persons engaged in such activities; and
  4. an understanding of internal controls and procedures for financial reporting.

Audit Committee Oversight

Since the commencement of Neural's most recently completed financial year, there has not been a recommendation of the Audit Committee to nominate or compensate an external auditor which was not adopted by the Board.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures


  • 70 -

In the event that Neural wishes to retain the services of Neural's external auditors for any non-audit services, prior approval of the Audit Committee must be obtained.

Reliance on Exemptions in NI 52-110

Since the commencement of Neural's most recently completed financial year, Neural has not relied on:

  1. the exemption in section 2.4 (De Minimis Non-audit Services) of NI 52-110 (which exempts all non-audit services provided by Neural's auditor from the requirement to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee if such services are less than 5% of the auditor's annual fees charged to Neural, are not recognized as non-audit services at the time of the engagement of the auditor to perform them and are subsequently approved by the Audit Committee prior to the completion of that year's audit);
  2. the exemption in subsection 6.1.1(4) (Circumstance Affecting the Business or Operations of the Venture Issuer) of NI 52-110 (an exemption from the requirement that a majority of the members of the Audit Committee must not be executive officers, employees or control persons of Neural or of an affiliate of Neural if a circumstance arises that affects the business or operations of Neural and a reasonable person would conclude that the circumstance can be best addressed by a member of the Audit Committee becoming an executive officer or employee of Neural);
  3. the exemption in subsection 6.1.1(5) (Events Outside Control of Member) (an exemption from the requirement that a majority of the members of the Audit Committee must not be executive officers, employees or control persons of Neural or of an affiliate of Neural if an Audit Committee member becomes a control person of Neural or of an affiliate of Neural for reasons outside the member's reasonable control);
  4. the exemption in subsection 6.1.1(6) (Death, Incapacity or Resignation) (an exemption from the requirement that a majority of the members of the Audit Committee must not be executive officers, employees or control persons of Neural or of an affiliate of Neural if a vacancy on the Audit Committee arises as a result of the death, incapacity or resignation of an Audit Committee member and the Board was required to fill the vacancy); or
  5. an exemption from the requirements of NI 52-110, in whole or in part, granted by a securities regulator under Part 8 (Exemptions) of NI 52-110.

Neural is a "venture issuer" for the purposes of Part 6 NI 52-110. Accordingly, Neural is relying upon the exemption in section 6.1 of NI 52-110 providing that Neural is exempt from the application of Part 3 (Composition of the Audit Committee) and Part 5 (Reporting Obligations) of NI 52-110.

Audit Fees

The following table provides details in respect of audit, audit related, tax and other fees billed to Neural by the external auditors for professional services.

Option Plan and RSU Plan Summary

Material Terms of the Option Plan

The Option Plan is administered by the Board or, if applicable, by a committee thereof. A full copy of the Option Plan is attached hereto as Schedule "E". The following is a brief description of the principal terms of the Option Plan, which description is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Option Plan:

  1. the total number of Neural Shares issuable pursuant to the Option Plan shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding Neural Shares, subject to adjustment as set forth herein, and further subject to the applicable rules and regulations of all regulatory authorities to which Neural is subject, including any stock exchange on which Neural Shares may then trade and including the CSE;

  2. the number of Neural Shares reserved for issuance, within a one-year period, to any one optionee shall not exceed 5% of the outstanding Neural Shares;

  3. the number of Neural Shares reserved for issuance, within a one-year period, to any one consultant of Neural may


  • 73 -

not exceed 2% of the outstanding Neural Shares;

  1. the aggregate number of Neural Shares reserved for issuance, within a one-year period, to employees or consultants conducting investor relations activities may not exceed 2% of the outstanding Neural Shares;

  2. unless the Option Plan has been approved by Neural Shareholders at a meeting thereof by a majority of the votes cast at the meeting, other than votes attaching to securities beneficially owned by Insiders of Neural to whom Neural Shares may be issued pursuant to the Option Plan, and associates of any such insiders:

a. the maximum number of Neural Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to options granted to Insiders at any time may not exceed 10% of the number of outstanding Neural Shares;

b. the maximum number of Neural Shares which may be issued to Insiders, within a one-year period, may not exceed 10% of the number of outstanding Neural Shares; and

  3. At the discretion of the Board or a committee thereof, options granted may vest immediately on the date of grant or in stages. Options issued to consultants performing investor relations activities must vest in stages over a minimum of 12 months with no more than 1/4 of the options vesting in any three-month period;

  4. Each Option shall, among other things, contain provisions to the effect that the Option shall be personal to the optionee and shall not be assignable or transferable;

  5. If Neural shall become merged (whether by plan of arrangement or otherwise) or amalgamated within or with another company or shall sell the whole or substantially the whole of its assets and undertakings for shares or securities of another corporation, Neural shall, make provision that, upon exercise of an option during its unexpired period after the effective date of such merger, amalgamation or sale, the optionee shall receive such number of shares of the continuing successor corporation in such merger or amalgamation or the securities or shares of the purchasing corporation as the optionee would have received as a result of such merger, amalgamation or sale if the optionee had purchase the shares of Neural immediately prior thereto for the same consideration paid on the exercise of the option and had held such shares on the effective date of such merger, amalgamation or sale and, upon such provision being made, the obligation of Neural to the optionee in respect of Neural Shares subject to the option shall terminate and be at an end and the optionee shall cease to have any further rights in respect thereof; and

  6. In addition, each Option shall provide that:

a. upon the death of the optionee, the option shall terminate on the date determined by the Board or a committee thereof, which date shall not be later than the earlier of the expiry date of the option and one year from the date of death;

b. if the Optionee shall no longer be a director or officer of, be in the employ of, or be providing ongoing management or consulting services to Neural, the option shall terminate on the earlier of the expiry date of the option and the expiry of the period, not in excess of 90 days prescribed by the Board or a committee thereof at the time of grant, following the date that the optionee ceases to be a director, officer or employee of Neural, or ceases to provide ongoing management or consulting services to Neural, as the case may be; and

c. if the Option is granted to an optionee who is engaged in investor relations activities on behalf of Neural,


  • 74 -

the option shall terminate on the earlier of the expiry date of the option and the expiry of the period, not in excess of 30 days prescribed by the Board or a committee thereof at the time of grant, following the date that the optionee ceases to provide ongoing investor relations activities.

Material Terms of the RSU Plan

Administration

The RSU Plan shall be administered by the Board, which will have the full and final authority to provide for the granting, vesting, settlement and the method of settlement of the RSU Plan granted thereunder. RSUs may be granted to directors, officers, employees or consultants of Neural, as the Board may from time to time designate. The Board has the right to delegate the administration and operation of the RSU Plan to a committee and/or any member of the Board.

Number of Neural Shares Reserved

Subject to adjustment as provided for in the RSU Plan, the aggregate number of Neural Shares which will be available for issuance under the RSU Plan will not, when combined with Neural Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to other share compensation arrangements (including the Option Plan) exceed 10% of the number of Neural Shares which are issued and outstanding on the particular date of grant. If any RSU expires or otherwise terminates for any reason without having been exercised in full, the number of Neural Shares in respect of such expired or terminated RSU shall again be available for the purposes of granting RSUs pursuant to the RSU Plan.

Granting, Settlement and Expiry of RSUs

Under the RSU Plan, eligible persons may (at the discretion of the Board) be allocated a number of RSUs as the Board deems appropriate, with vesting provisions also to be determined by the Board. Upon vesting, subject to the provisions of the RSU Plan, the RSU holder may settle its RSUs during the settlement period applicable to such RSUs. Where, prior to the expiry date, an RSU holder fails to elect to settle an RSU, the holder shall be deemed to have elected to settle such RSUs on the day immediately preceding the expiry date. An RSU holder shall be entitled to receive one Neural Share for each vested RSU or, at the sole option of Neural, a cash payment equal to the number of RSUs vested, multiplied by the market price of Neural Shares on the redemption date.

Termination

Except as otherwise determined by the Board:

A. All RSUs held by the RSU holder (whether vested or unvested) shall terminate automatically on the date which the RSU holder cases to be eligible to participate in the RSU Plan or otherwise on such date on which Neural terminates its engagement of the RSU holder (the "RSU Holder Termination Date") for any reason other than as set forth in paragraph (B) and (C) below;

B. In the case of a termination of the RSU Holder's service by reason of (A) termination by Neural or any subsidiary of Neural other than for cause, or (B) the RSU holders' death, the RSU holder's unvested RSUs shall vest automatically as of such date, and on the earlier of the original expiry date and any time during the ninety (90) day period commencing on the date of such termination of service (or, if earlier, the RSU Holder Termination Date), the RSU holder (or their executor or administrator, or the person or persons to whom the RSUs are transferred by will or the applicable laws of descent and distribution) will be eligible to request that Neural settle their vested RSUs. Where, prior to the 90th day following such termination of service (or, if earlier, the RSU holder Termination Date) the RSU holder fails to elect to settle a vested RSU, the RSU holder shall be deemed to have elected to settle such RSU on such 90th day (or, if earlier, the RSU holder Termination Date) and to receive Neural Shares in respect thereof;

C. In the case of a termination of the RSU holder's services by reason of voluntary resignation, only the RSU holder's unvested RSUs shall terminate automatically as of such date, and any time during the ninety (90) day period commencing on the date of such termination of service (or, if earlier, the RSU holder Termination Date), the RSU holder will be eligible to request that Neural settle their vested RSUs. Where, prior to the 90th day following such termination of service (or, if earlier, the RSU holder Termination Date) the RSU holder fails to elect to settle a vested RSU, the RSU holder shall be deemed to have elected to settle such RSU on such 90th day (or, if earlier, the RSU holder Termination Date) and to receive Neural Shares in respect thereof;


  • 75 -

D. For greater certainty, where a RSU holder's employment, term of office or other engagement with Neural terminates by reason of termination by Neural or any subsidiary of Neural for cause then any RSUs held by the RSU holder (whether unvested or vested) at the RSU holder Termination Date, immediately terminate and are cancelled on the RSU holder Termination Date or at a time as may be determined by the Board, in its discretion;

E. A RSU holder's eligibility to receive further grants of RSUs under the RSU Plan ceases as of the earliest of the date the RSU holder resigns from or terminates its engagement with Neural or any subsidiary of Neural and the date that Neural or any subsidiary of Neural provides the RSU holder with written notification that the RSU holders' employment, term of office or engagement, as the case may be, is terminated, notwithstanding that such date may be prior to the RSU holder Termination Date; and

F. For the purposes of the RSU Plan, a RSU holder shall not be deemed to have terminated service or engagement where the RSU holder: (i) remains in employment or office within or among Neural or any subsidiary of Neural or (ii) is on a leave of absence approved by the Board.

The foregoing summary of the RSU Plan is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the RSU Plan, which is attached hereto as Schedule "D".

Employment, Consulting and Management Agreements

Other than as set out below, as of July 31, 2025, there were no written contracts or agreements providing for payment to a director or Named Executive Officer in connection with termination (whether voluntary, involuntary, or constructive), resignation, retirement, a change in control of Neural, or a change in a director or Named Executive Officer's responsibilities.

Campbell Employment Agreement and Campbell Consulting Agreement

Mr. Campbell was appointed as CEO of Neural on September 16, 2021, and entered into the Campbell Employment Agreement on the same date. The Campbell Employment Agreement provided for an annual base salary of $175,000 per annum, exclusive of bonuses, benefits, and other compensation.

  • 76 -

Option and Share Based Awards

Neural maintains both the Option Plan and the RSU Plan to provide additional forms of compensation and incentives to its directors, officers, employees, and consultants, thereby promoting alignment between their interests and those of Neural Shareholders. The Option Plan enables Neural to grant Options as a means for eligible recipients to participate in the company's success, with awards determined by the Board based on recommendations from directors. Factors considered include the recipient's level of responsibility, past contributions, future potential impact on Neural's long-term operational performance, the number and exercise price of previously granted options, compliance with applicable exchange policies, and the need to closely align interests with shareholders. The Board also determines the vesting provisions for all Option grants.

Similarly, the RSU Plan allows for discretionary awards of RSUs to eligible recipients, aligning compensation with the achievement of long-term financial and strategic objectives and the resulting increase in shareholder value. RSU awards are determined by the Board, taking into account the recipient's level of responsibility, past contributions, future potential, the number of previously granted RSUs, the exercise price of any outstanding RSUs, and compliance with exchange policies. Both plans are designed to incentivize performance and foster greater alignment between recipients and Neural Shareholders. The Board will determine the vesting provisions of all RSU grants.

Outstanding Option-Based Awards and Share-Based Awards

The table below reflects all option-based awards and share-based awards for each NEO outstanding as at July 31, 2025 (including option-based awards and share-based awards granted to a NEO before such fiscal year). Neural does not have any equity incentive plans other than its Option Plan and RSU Plan. As of the date of this Circular, 725,000 Options are outstanding and 4,020,000 RSUs are outstanding.

Neural may consider entering into such agreements with its Named Executive Officers in future.


  • 77 -

Director Compensation

Other than the Option Plan and RSU Plan, Neural currently has no arrangements, standard or otherwise, under which directors are compensated for: serving in their capacity as directors; committee participation; involvement in special assignments; and providing services as a consultant or expert. This has remained the case since Neural’s incorporation on June 2, 2020, up to and including the date of this Circular.

Changes to Executive Compensation Subsequent to Year Ended July 31, 2025

There have been no material changes to executive compensation following the financial year ended July 31, 2025.

REPORT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Neural believes that adopting and maintaining appropriate corporate governance practices is fundamental to the effective oversight and long-term success of Neural. NI 58-101 and NP 58-201 (collectively the "Governance Guidelines") of the CSA set out non-binding guidelines that issuers are encouraged to consider in developing their governance practices. In certain cases, Neural’s governance practices comply with the Governance Guidelines; however, the Board has determined that some guidelines are not appropriate for Neural at its current stage of development and have therefore not been adopted. The Board will continue to review and evolve Neural’s governance practices as Neural’s business and operations develop.

The following disclosure is required by the Governance Guidelines and describes Neural's approach to governance and outlines the various procedures, policies and practices that Neural and the Board have implemented.

Board of Directors

The Board currently consists of six (6) directors.

In assessing independence for the purposes of Form 58-101F2, the Board considered the criteria set out in National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees, including whether any director has a “material relationship” with Neural that could reasonably be expected to interfere with the exercise of independent judgment. In addition, under NI 52-110, an individual who is, or has been within the last three years, an employee or executive officer of an issuer, is deemed to have a "material relationship" with the issuer. In assessing Form 58-101F2 and making the foregoing determinations, the Board has examined the circumstances of each director in relation to a number of factors.

Based on this assessment, the Board has determined that Colin McLelland, Carlos Davidovich and Eran Ovadya are independent directors within the meaning of NI 58-101. By virtue of their current or past management roles or other material relationships with Neural, John Durfy, Ian Campbell and Alex Storcheus are not considered independent.

Directorships

The following table provides a list of Neural's proposed directors who are presently serving as directors of other reporting issuers and the names of such reporting issuers.

Name Name of Reporting Issuer Name or Exchange or Market
Alex Storcheus Rigel Technologies Inc. Unlisted Reporting Issuer

Orientation and Continuing Education

The Board is comprised of individuals with either prior experience as a director or publicly listed issuer or a private entity or with significant business experience as a senior business manager. While Neural currently has no formal orientation and education program for new Board members, sufficient information (such as annual reports, prospectuses, proxy solicitation materials, budgets and operations reports) is provided to new Board members to ensure that each new director is familiar with the business of Neural and the functions of the Board. In addition, new directors are encouraged to meet with senior management.


  • 78 -

Ethical Business Conduct

Ethical business conduct and behaviour is of great importance to the Board and management of Neural. The Board has discussed the adoption of a written code of conduct, but it has not yet adopted a written code. Neural expects that each of the directors, officers and employees conduct themselves ethically and within the confines of professional behaviour, including the avoidance of conflicts of interest, protection and proper use of Neural's information, compliance with laws, rules and regulations and reporting of illegal or unethical behaviour.

Any director or officer of Neural shall disclose in writing or request to have it entered into the minutes of Board meetings or any of the committees of the directors the nature and extent of any interest in a material contract or a material transaction, whether made or proposed, as soon as the director or officer becomes aware of such a contract or transaction. In such a case, the director shall abstain from voting on any resolution to approve such a contract or transaction.

Nomination of Directors

The Board is entrusted with reviewing on a periodic basis the composition of the Board and, when appropriate, with maintaining a list of potential candidates for Board membership and interviewing potential candidates for Board membership.

Compensation

At present, no compensation other than the grant of RSUs is paid to Neural's directors, in such capacity. For a description of the process by which Neural determines compensation for its directors and officers, see section titled "Executive Compensation – Compensation of Directors".

Other Board Committees

Other than the Audit Committee, Neural's Board has no other committees.

Assessments

The Board does not currently conduct formal performance assessments of the Board, its committees or individual directors. The Board believes that its size facilitates an effective informal evaluation process through ongoing discussion between the Chair of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer.

SECURITIES AUTHORIZED FOR ISSUANCE UNDER EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS

The following table sets out, as at fiscal year ended July 31, 2025, information with respect to Neural's compensation plans under which equity securities are authorized for issuance:

| Plan Category | Number of securities to be issued upon exercise of outstanding options, warrants and rights (a) | Weighted-average exercise price of outstanding options, warrants and rights (b) | Number of securities remaining available for future issuance under equity compensation plans (excluding securities reflected in column (a)) (c) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Option Plan | 725,000 | $0.05 | 13,425,048 (1) | | RSU Plan | 2,720,000 | N/A | | | Equity compensation plans not approved by security holders | N/A | N/A | N/A | | Total | 3,445,000 | $0.05 | 13,425,048 (1) |

Note: (1) The current RSU and Option Plans are subject to a combined limit of 10% of the total Neural Shares outstanding.


  • 79 -

No director, executive officer or employee of Neural or any of its subsidiaries, nor any former director, executive officer or employee, nor any associate of any such person, is or was indebted to Neural or any of its subsidiaries at any time during the financial year ended July 31, 2025, or as of the date of this Circular, other than "routine indebtedness" (as that term is defined under applicable securities laws). In addition, no such person is or was indebted to any other entity in respect of which such indebtedness was or is the subject of any guarantee, support agreement, letter of credit or similar arrangement provided by Neural or any of its subsidiaries.

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

Shareholder proposals intended to be included in the management information circular to be prepared in connection with the next annual meeting of Neural Shareholders must be submitted in accordance with the OBCA and applicable securities laws, and must be received by Neural within the time periods prescribed thereunder.

ARTICLE 9 PUT OPTION

9.1 Purpose and Intent

The provisions of this Article 9 are intended to provide Neural with a remedy in the event that CWE fails to fulfill its obligations to deliver the Financial Information and related supporting materials as set forth in Section 7.2(f) and Schedule "F", which are necessary for Neural to comply with its continuous disclosure obligations under Canadian securities Laws, including without limitation the requirement to file a Business Acquisition Report pursuant to NI 51-102. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the exercise of the Put Option and issuance of the Put Note (each as defined below) is a remedy for such breach and that the resulting transaction structure is intended to support the recognition of impairment for financial reporting purposes.

9.2 Put Option Right

If the Financial Information is not delivered in accordance with Section 7.2(f) and Schedule F on or before July 31, 2025 (the “Put Option Trigger Date”), Neural shall have the right, but not the obligation, to exercise an option (the “Put Option”) returning all of the Amalco A Shares, which it owns pursuant to Amalgamation A to CWE or a designated affiliate of CWE in exchange for a secured convertible promissory note (the “Put Note”).

9.3 Terms of the Put Note

(a) Face Value: The Put Note shall have a principal amount equal to the aggregate Share Issuance Price of the Neural Shares issued in exchange for shares of CWE Newco A under Amalgamation A.

(b) Security: The Put Note shall be secured by a general security agreement (the “GSA”) over all present and after-acquired property of CWE.

(c) Conversion: The Put Note shall be convertible at the option of the holder at any time prior to the Series B Completion Deadline into that number of common shares of CWE equal to the principal amount of the Put Note divided by the last issuance price of CWE common shares issued to an arm's length third party prior to the issuance of the Put Note.

(d) Extinguishment via Neural Shares: CWE shall have the right to extinguish all or any portion of the Put Note by delivering or causing other parties to deliver to Neural that number of Neural Shares equal to the principal amount to be extinguished divided by the Share Issuance Price.

(e) Impairment: The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Put Note, if issued, would be issued in recognition of the harm caused to Neural as a result of CWE’s failure to deliver the Financial

  • 36 -

Information and is expected to be impaired on Neural's books to a nominal value (e.g., $1), consistent with applicable accounting standards and the intent of the Parties that Neural shall not retain a meaningful interest in CWE until the completion of the Series B Transactions.

(f) Interest: The outstanding principal of the Note shall accrue interest at a fixed rate of 6% per annum, calculated annually and not in advance, from the date of issuance until payment in full or conversion, as applicable. Interest shall be payable in cash or, at Neural's election, may be added to the principal and included in any conversion or repayment.

9.4 Procedural Steps

(a) Neural shall deliver a written notice (the “Put Exercise Notice”) to CWE exercising the Put Option and providing confirmation of the failure to receive the Financial Information in accordance with Section 7.2(f) and Schedule "F".

(b) CWE shall, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the Put Exercise Notice, execute and deliver the Put Note and GSA to Neural in a form satisfactory to Neural and its legal counsel, acting reasonably.

(c) Neural shall concurrently return to CWE the Amalco A Shares that it owns as a result of Amalgamation A.

(d) The Parties shall cooperate in taking all such further actions and executing all such documents as may be necessary to give effect to the exercise of the Put Option and issuance of the Put Note.

9.5 Restoration of Shareholding upon Cure

If, following the issuance of the Put Note and prior to the Series B Completion Deadline, CWE delivers the full Financial Information to the satisfaction of Neural and its auditor, and Neural elects to proceed with the Series B Transactions, then Neural shall have the right to convert the Put Note into an equity interest in Amalco A or cancel the Put Note and restore its equity interest in Amalco A on the same basis as existed prior to the Put Exercise Notice, subject to compliance with all applicable securities laws and any requirements under Part 8 of NI 51-102, including restoration of "significant influence" and eligibility for equity accounting under applicable financial reporting standards.

9.6 Costs

All costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Neural in connection with the exercise of the Put Option, including legal, accounting, and regulatory filing fees, shall be borne by CWE.

2. AMENDMENTS TO TRANSACTION STRUCTURE

2.1 Concurrent Financing. The Agreement is hereby amended by replacing Section 2.6 in its entirety with the following:

"2.6 Concurrent Financing. In connection with the Series B Transactions, CWE is authorized to complete the Concurrent Financing immediately prior to the completion of the Series B Transactions as follows:

(a) The Concurrent Financing shall consist of the issuance of CWE Debentures for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $1,000,000, or such other amount as determined by CWE.

(b) The CWE Debentures will bear interest at a rate of 9.0% per annum, calculated on a simple (non-compounding) basis, accruing from the date of issuance, payable quarterly in cash. In the event that a CWE Debenture is converted prior to a scheduled interest payment date, all accrued and unpaid interest up to the date of conversion shall also be converted together with principal.

(c) The CWE Debentures will mature two (2) years from the date of issuance, unless earlier converted or repaid in accordance with their terms.

(d) CWE may, at any time and without penalty, repay all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the CWE Debentures together with accrued and unpaid interest in cash.

(e) In connection with the completion of the Series B Transactions, the CWE Debentures will be exchanged for corresponding Resulting Issuer Debentures on the basis of one CWE Debenture for one Resulting Issuer Debenture. Following such exchange, the holder of a Resulting Issuer Debenture may at its sole option convert the outstanding principal amount of the Resulting


Issuer Debentures together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon into Resulting Issuer Shares at a conversion price of CAD $0.12 per Resulting Issuer Share (the “Conversion Price”). The number of Resulting Issuer Shares issuable upon conversion will be determined by dividing the aggregate of the principal amount of the applicable debenture plus all accrued and unpaid interest by the Conversion Price.

(f) If the Resulting Issuer Shares trade on a recognized stock exchange at a price equal to or greater than CAD $0.20 per share for a period of ten (10) consecutive trading days, the Resulting Issuer, may elect to force the conversion of all outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Resulting Issuer Debentures into Resulting Issuer Shares at the Conversion Price. In such circumstances, the Resulting Issuer will provide holders with not less than twenty (20) days’ prior written notice of the mandatory conversion. During such notice period, holders will retain the right to voluntarily convert their Resulting Issuer Debentures.

(g) The CWE Debentures and Resulting Issuer Debentures, as the case may be, will contain adjustment provisions typical of securities of this nature to address various corporate events including, without limitation, share splits/consolidations, rights offerings, dividends out of the ordinary course and corporate reorganizations.

(h) The completion of the Concurrent Financing shall be conditional upon receipt of all required regulatory approvals, including approval of the CSE, and satisfaction of the minimum listing requirements applicable to the Resulting Issuer. Each subscription agreement entered into in connection with the Concurrent Financing shall include a power of attorney authorizing CWE, and/or Neural, as applicable, to effect any part of Series B Transactions and the exchange of securities contemplated thereby without the need for further securityholder approval.

(i) The CWE Debentures will not be listed on any exchange. Following completion of the Series B Transactions, the Resulting Issuer Shares are expected to remain listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange, subject to acceptance by the exchange and satisfaction of applicable listing requirements. Resulting Issuer Debentures will not be listed on any exchange.

(j) CWE may pay eligible finders a cash fee of up to 8% of the gross proceeds of the Concurrent Financing introduced by such finder. In addition, CWE may issue broker warrants (the “CWE Broker Warrants”) equal to 8% of the number of Resulting Issuer Shares issuable upon conversion of the Resulting Issuer Debentures sold through such finder, calculated based on the Conversion Price. Each CWE Broker Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one Resulting Issuer Share ("Resulting Issuer Broker Warrant Share") at an exercise price of CAD $0.12 per share for a period of two (2) years from the date of issuance. Immediately prior to completion of the Series B Transactions, such CWE Broker Warrants will be exchanged for equivalent broker warrants of the Resulting Issuer.

2.2 Advisory Fee Shares. The Agreement is hereby amended by replacing Section 2.6 in its entirety with the following:

"2.7 Advisory Fee Issuance. In connection with the Series B Transactions, CWE shall issue the Advisory Fee Shares to Nathan Rotstein, contingent upon and effective immediately prior to the completion of Amalgamation B. The Advisory Fee Shares shall be exchanged for Resulting Issuer Shares on a one-for-one basis pursuant to Amalgamation B, subject to applicable resale restrictions."

2.3 Clause (vi) of Section 2.3(c) of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety.

  1. AMENDMENTS TO SCHEDULES

3.1 Amalgamation Agreement B. The changes contemplated by Section 4.1 of the First Amendment are hereby deleted and annulled and the Schedule B - Amalgamation Agreement B shall remain substantially similar to the form set out in the original Agreement dated May 28, 2025.

4. GENERAL

4.1 No Other Amendments. Except as expressly amended hereby, the Agreement and the First Amendment remains unchanged and in full force and effect.

Recipients

Grant

2.2 The Board may, in its discretion, at any time, and from time to time, grant Restricted Share Units to Eligible Persons as it determines is appropriate, subject to the limitations set out in this Plan. In making such grants the Board may, in its sole discretion but subject to paragraph 2.5, in addition to Performance Conditions set out below, impose such conditions on the vesting of the Awards as it sees fit, including imposing a vesting period on grants of Restricted Stock Units.

Account

2.7 Restricted Share Units issued pursuant to this Plan (including fractional Restricted Share Units, computed to three digits) will be credited to a notional account maintained for each Recipient by the Corporation for the purposes of facilitating the determination of amounts that may become payable hereunder.

Dividend Equivalents

2.8 On any date on which a cash dividend is paid on Shares, a Recipient's account will be credited with the number and type of Restricted Share Units (including fractional Restricted Share Units, computed to three digits) calculated by (a) multiplying the amount of the dividend per Share by the aggregate number of Restricted Share Units that were credited to the Eligible Person's account as of the record date for payment of the dividend, and (b) dividing the amount obtained in paragraph (a) by the Fair Market Value on the date on which the dividend is paid.

Termination on Change of Control

3.6 Notwithstanding anything else in this Plan, all unvested Restricted Share Units held by any Recipient will automatically vest, without further act or formality, immediately in the event of a Termination arising from the resignation or cessation of employment or service by the Recipient based on a material reduction or change in position, duties or remuneration of the Recipient at any time within 12 months after the occurrence of a Change of Control (the "Early Trigger Date").

The Corporation or relevant Related Entity, as applicable, may require Recipients, as a condition of receiving amounts to be paid to them under this Plan, to deliver undertakings to, or indemnities in favour of, the Corporation or Related Entity, as applicable, respecting the payment by such Recipients of applicable income or other taxes.

The purpose of this stock option plan (the “Plan”) is to authorize the grant to Eligible Persons (as such term is defined below) of Neural Therapeutics Inc. (the “Corporation”) of options to purchase common shares (“shares”) of the Corporation's capital and thus benefit the Corporation by enabling it to attract, retain and motivate Eligible Persons by providing them with the opportunity, through share options, to acquire an increased proprietary interest in the Corporation.

Subject to adjustment under the provisions of paragraph 10 hereof, the aggregate number of shares of the Corporation which may be issued and sold under the Plan will not exceed such number of shares as is equal to 10% of the aggregate number of shares issued and outstanding from time to time. The Corporation shall not, upon the exercise of any option, be required to issue or deliver any shares prior to (a) the admission of such shares to listing on any stock exchange on which the Corporation's shares may then be listed, and (b) the completion of such registration or other qualification of such shares under any law, rules or regulation as the Corporation shall determine to be necessary or advisable.

  1. TAXES

The Corporation shall have the power and the right to deduct or withhold, or require an optionee to remit to the Corporation, the required amount to satisfy federal, provincial and local taxes, domestic or foreign, required by law or regulation to be withheld with respect to any taxable event arising as a result of the Plan, including the grant or exercise of any option granted under the Plan. With respect to any required withholding, the Corporation shall have the irrevocable right to, and the optionee consents to, the Corporation setting off any amounts required to be withheld, in whole or in part, against amounts otherwise owing by the Corporation to the optionee (whether arising pursuant to the optionee's relationship as a director, officer, employee or consultant of the Corporation or otherwise), or may make such other arrangements that are satisfactory to the optionee and the Corporation. In addition, the Corporation may elect, in its sole discretion, to satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by withholding such number of shares issuable upon exercise of the options as it determines are required to be sold by the Corporation, as trustee, to satisfy any withholding obligations net of selling costs.

4. Committee Duties and Responsibilities

The Committee is responsible for performing the duties set out below and any other duties that may be assigned to it by the Board, and performing any other functions that may be necessary or appropriate for the performance of its duties.

Independent Auditor’s Qualifications and Independence

(i) The Committee must recommend to the Board at all appropriate times the independent auditor to be nominated or appointed for the purpose of preparing or issuing an auditor’s report or performing other audit, review or attest services for Neural and approve the compensation to be paid to the independent auditor.

(ii) The Committee is directly responsible for overseeing the work of the independent auditor engaged for the purpose of preparing or issuing an auditor’s report or performing other audit, review or attest services for Neural, including the resolution of disagreements between Neural management and the independent auditor regarding financial reporting. The independent auditor will report directly to the Committee, and the Committee will evaluate and be responsible for Neural’s relationship with the independent auditor.

(iii) The Committee must pre-approve any permitted non-audit services to be provided by the independent auditor to Neural or its subsidiaries, provided that no approval will be provided for any service that is prohibited under the rules of the Canadian Public Accountability Board or the Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada. The Committee may delegate to one or more of its members the authority to pre-approve those permitted non-audit services provided that any such pre-approval must be presented to the Committee at its next meeting and that the Committee may not delegate pre-approval of any non-audit internal control related services. The Committee may also adopt specific policies and procedures relating to pre-approval of permitted non-audit services to satisfy the pre-approval requirement provided that the procedures are detailed as to the specific service, the Committee is informed of each non-audit service and the procedures do not include the delegation of the Committee’s responsibilities to Neural management or pre-approval of non-audit internal control related services. The Committee will review with the lead audit partner whether any of the audit team members receive any discretionary compensation from the audit firm with respect to non-audit services performed by the independent auditor.

(iv) The Committee will obtain and review with the lead audit partner and a more senior representative of the independent auditor, annually or more frequently as the Committee considers appropriate, a report by the independent auditor describing: (a) the independent auditor’s internal quality-control procedures; (b) any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review, or peer review, of the independent auditor, or by any inquiry, review or investigation by governmental, professional or other regulatory authorities, within the preceding five years, respecting independent audits carried out by the independent auditor, and any steps taken to deal with these issues; and (c) in order to assess the independent auditor’s independence, all relationships between the independent auditor and Neural and the independent auditor’s objectivity and independence in accordance with the rules, policies and standards applicable to auditors.

(v) After reviewing the report referred to above and the independent auditor’s performance throughout the year, the Committee will evaluate the independent auditor’s qualifications, performance and independence. The evaluation will include a review and evaluation of the lead partner of the independent auditor. In making its evaluation, the Committee will take into account the opinions of Neural management and Neural’s internal auditors (or other personnel responsible for the internal audit function). The Committee will also consider whether, in order to assure continuing auditor independence, there should be a rotation of the audit firm itself. The Committee will present its


  • 88 -

conclusions to the Board.

(vi) The Committee will review with the Board any issues that arise with respect to the performance and independence of the independent auditor and, where issues arise, make recommendations about whether Neural should continue with that independent auditor.

(vii) The Committee has the responsibility for approving the independent auditor’s fees. In approving the independent auditor’s fees, the Committee should consider, among other things, the number and nature of reports issued by the independent auditor, the quality of the internal controls, the impact of the size, complexity and financial condition of Neural on the audit work plan, and the extent of internal audit and other support provided by Neural to the independent auditor.

(viii) The Committee will ensure the regular rotation of members of the independent auditor’s team as required by law.

(ix) The Committee will establish hiring policies for employees and former employees of its independent auditor.

Financial Statements and Financial Review

The Committee will also review all news releases relating to annual and interim financial results prior to their public release. The Committee will also consider, establish, and periodically review policies with respect to the release or distribution of any other financial information, including earnings guidance and any financial information provided to ratings agencies and analysts, and review that information prior to its release.

(xi) The Committee will review all other financial statements of Neural that require approval by the Board before they are released to the public, including, without limitation, financial statements for use in prospectuses or other offering or public disclosure documents and financial statements required by regulatory authorities. The Committee may review the annual information form and management circular of Neural prior to its filing.

(xii) The Committee will meet separately and periodically with Neural management, the internal auditors (or other personnel responsible for the internal audit function) and the independent auditor.

(xiii) The Committee will oversee Neural management’s design and implementation of an adequate and effective system of internal controls at Neural, including ensuring adequate internal audit functions. The Committee will review the processes for complying with internal control reporting and certification requirements and for evaluating the adequacy and effectiveness of specified controls. The Committee will review the annual and interim conclusions of the effectiveness of Neural’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls and procedures (including the independent auditor’s attestation that is required to be filed with securities regulators) prior to the approval of the annual and interim financial statements.

(xiv) The Committee will review with management and the independent auditor: (a) major issues regarding accounting principles and financial statement presentations, including critical accounting principles and practices used and any significant changes to Neural’s selection or application of accounting principles, and major issues as to the adequacy of Neural’s internal controls and any special audit steps adopted in light of material control deficiencies; (b) analyses prepared by Neural management and/or the independent auditor setting forth significant financial reporting issues and judgments made in connection with the preparation of the financial statements, including analysis of the effects of alternative international financial reporting standards (“IFRS”) methods on the


financial statements of Neural and the treatment preferred by the independent auditor; (c) the effect of regulatory and accounting initiatives, as well as off-balance sheet structures, on the financial statements of Neural; and (d) the type and presentation of information to be included in earnings press releases (including any use of “pro forma” or “adjusted” non-IFRS information).

(xv) The Committee will regularly review with the independent auditor any difficulties the auditor encountered in the course of its audit work, including any restrictions on the scope of the independent auditor’s activities or on access to requested information, and any significant disagreements with management. The Committee will also review with the independent auditor any material communications with the independent auditor, including any management letter or schedule of unadjusted differences.

(xvi) The Committee will review with Neural management, and any outside professionals as the Committee considers appropriate, important trends and developments in financial reporting practices and requirements and their effect on Neural’s financial statements.

(xvii) The Committee will review with Neural management and the independent auditor the scope, planning and staffing of the proposed audit for a current year. The Committee will also review the organization, responsibilities, plans, results, budget and staffing of any internal audit departments. In addition, management of Neural’s subsidiaries will consult with the Committee, or in the case of Neural’s publicly traded subsidiaries, the audit committees of those subsidiaries, on the appointment, replacement, reassignment or dismissal of personnel in the respective internal audit departments.

(xviii) The Committee will meet with management to discuss guidelines and policies governing the process by which Neural and its subsidiaries assess and manage exposure to risk and to discuss Neural’s major financial risk exposures and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such exposures.

(xix) The Committee will review with management, and any internal or external counsel as the Committee considers appropriate, any legal matters (including the status of pending litigation) that may have a material impact on Neural and any material reports or inquiries from regulatory or governmental agencies.

(xx) The Committee will review with the Board any issues that arise with respect to the quality or integrity of Neural’s financial statements, compliance with legal or regulatory requirements, or the performance of the internal audit function.

Additional Oversight

(xxi) The Committee will establish procedures for: (a) the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by Neural regarding accounting, internal accounting controls, auditing matters or potential violations of law; and (b) the confidential, anonymous submission by employees of Neural of concerns regarding questionable accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters or potential violations of law. This will include the establishment of a whistleblower policy.

(xxii) The Committee will annually review the expenses of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of Neural.

5. Access to Advisors

The Committee may, in its sole discretion, retain counsel, auditors or other advisors in connection with the execution of its duties and responsibilities and may determine the fees of any advisors so retained. Neural will provide the Committee with appropriate funding for payment of compensation to such counsel, auditors or other advisors and for ordinary administrative expenses of the Committee that are necessary or appropriate in carrying out its duties.

6. Committee Chair

In addition to the responsibilities of the Chair described above, the Chair has the primary responsibility for


monitoring developments with respect to financial reporting in general and reporting to the Committee on any significant developments.

Hanf.com Inc. (formerly Neural Therapeutics Inc.) Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements 12 Months Ended January 31, 2026

1. Basis of Presentation

These unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements of Hanf.com Inc. (the "Resulting Issuer") have been prepared as if on January 31, 2026 Neural Therapeutics Inc. ("Neural") acquired the balance 69.25% indirect equity interest ("Series B Transactions") in CWE European Holdings Inc. (the "CWE"). These unaudited pro forma financial statements have been prepared for inclusion in a management information circular of Neural dated April 15, 2026 ("Circular") prepared in connection with Series B Transactions and certain other matters, distributed by Neural to the holders ("Neural Shareholders") of common shares in the capital of Neural ("Neural Shares") in connection with the annual and special meeting of Neural Shareholders to be held on May 25, 2026 for the purpose of voting on the matters set out in the Circular, including the approval of Series B Transactions by Neural Shareholders. All terms used but not defined in these unaudited pro-forma consolidated financial statements have the meanings given to them in the Circular.

These unaudited pro forma financial statements of the Resulting Issuer have been compiled from and include:

a. an unaudited statement of financial position and statement of loss of Neural for the twelve months ending January 31, 2026, giving effect to the Series B Transactions as if they had occurred on January 31, 2026, derived from unaudited interim condensed financial statements of Neural three and six months ended January 31, 2026 and 2025 ("Neural Q2 2026 Financials") and audited annual financial statement of Neural for the years ending July 31, 2025 and 2024 ("Neural 2025 YE Financials"); and b. audited financial statements of CWE for the twelve months ending December 31, 2025 ("CWE 2025 YE Financials") giving effect to the Series B Transactions as if they had occurred on December 31, 2025.

These unaudited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent the financial position that would have resulted had Series B Transactions occurred on January 31, 2026, or the results of operations that would have resulted had the Series B Transactions occurred on January 31, 2026. Further, these unaudited pro forma financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the future financial position or results of operations of CWE or Neural or the Resulting Issuer as a result of Series B Transactions. These unaudited pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with Neural Q2 2026 Financials, Neural 2025 YE Financials, CWE 2025 YE Financials and the MD&A thereto, which are incorporated by reference into the Circular or are contained in the Circular, as the case may be.

These unaudited pro-forma consolidated financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, being the functional currency of CWE and Neural. It is management's opinion that the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements includes all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation, in all material respects, of the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements as if Series B Transactions occurred as at January 31, 2026. The adjustments and assumptions required to reflect the transactions as at January 31, 2026 are described in Note 3 hereto. In preparing the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements, no adjustments were made to reflect the operating synergies that may result from Series B Transactions. The pro forma information is based on estimates and assumptions set forth in the notes to such information.


Hanf.com Inc. (formerly Neural Therapeutics Inc.) Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements 12 Months Ended January 31, 2026

2. Significant Accounting Policies

These unaudited unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements have been compiled using the significant accounting policies as set out in CWE 2025 YE Financials and Neural 2025 YE Financials. The significant accounting policies of CWE conform in all material respects to those of Neural.

3. Pro Forma Adjustments

Series B Transactions will be treated as a reverse takeover (“RTO”) for accounting purposes based on the terms of the SIO Agreement (as such term is defined in the Circular). At the time of the Series B Transactions, Neural does not meet the definition of a business nor does this transaction meet the definition of a business combination under IFRS 3. The acquisition of CWE by Neural constitutes a reverse asset acquisition where purchase of Neural’s net assets is considered an equity-settled share-based payment under IFRS 2 (share-based payment) by CWE. Accordingly, as a result of the transaction, the pro forma financial statements have been adjusted for the elimination of Neural’s equity balances. Refer to Note 3(d) for pro forma RTO adjustment and calculation of listing expense. The pro forma adjustments and allocations of the estimated consideration transferred are based in part on estimates of the fair value of assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed. The final determination of the consideration transferred and the related allocation of the fair value of the Neural’s net assets to be acquired pursuant to Series B Transactions.

These unaudited pro forma financial statements include the following pro forma adjustments:

a) A reduction in share capital of $2,830,530 to eliminate Neural’s historical share capital. Neural had 168,700,506 Neural Shares outstanding, of which 79,999,960 were issued by Neural to acquire an indirect 30.75% interest in CWE. The remaining 88,700,507 Neural Shares represent approximately 53% of the Neural’s share capital. The reduction in Neural share capital is 53% of NT’s $5,383,418 pre consolidation share capital, being $2,830,530. This balance is offset against Neural’s deficit.

The $96,498 of Neural reserves is eliminated on consolidation. This balance is offset against Neural’s deficit.

The $791,268 of Neural Warrants reserves is eliminated on consolidation. This balance is offset against Neural’s deficit.

b) A reduction in share capital of $1,569,420 to eliminate Neural’s investment in CWE pursuant to exercise of Series A Option on August 13, 2025. This balance is offset against Neural’s share capital.

c) To record the exchange of 88,700,507 Neural Shares into 22,175,127 Resulting Issuer Shares (as such term is defined in the Circular) at a price of $0.12 per Resulting Issuer Share, being the deemed value per Resulting Issuer Share at which the Series B Transactions are completed. This balance of $2,661,015 is reduced by the amount in Note 3(b).

To record the exchange of 30,216,405 Neural Warrants into 7,554,101 Resulting Issuer Warrants (as such term is defined in the Circular). The deemed value of the Resulting Issuer Warrants was calculated using the Black Scholes model, at a deemed price of $0.005 per Resulting Issuer Warrant.

History and Background to SIO Agreement and Partnership with CWE

On September 27, 2024, Neural and CWE executed the LOI, whereby Neural proposed to acquire an equity interest in CWE. The LOI outlined a two-stage investment option (Series A Option and Series B Option) for Neural to ultimately acquire up to 100% of the equity interest CWE's, pending completion of definitive agreements and certain conditions.

On October 3, 2024, Neural publicly announced the Hanf.com partnership and LOI. In a joint news release, Neural's CEO, Ian Campbell and CWE's CEO, Ronnie Jaegermann, highlighted the strategic fit, emphasizing that CWE's established CBD retail platform in Germany would complement Neural's ethnobotanical R&D focus.

On November 15, 2024, by mutual agreement, Neural and CWE amended the LOI to extend its term and the deadline to sign a definitive agreement to December 31, 2024. The LOI was further amended on several occasions, with the last amendment being on April 30, 2025 extending the term and the deadline until May 31, 2025, which was superseded by the SIO Agreement.

On March 17, 2025, Neural Shares commenced trading on the CSE under the ticker symbol "NURL", marking the completion of Neural's go-public process. Achieving this listing was a key condition precedent for the Hanf.com definitive agreement, as the LOI required Neural to be a listed company prior to executing the strategic investment transaction.

On May 28, 2025, Neural and CWE entered into the SIO Agreement, which superseded the LOI and set out definitive terms for the multi-step combination.

On July 17, 2025, CWE Shareholders approved the transactions contemplated by the SIO Agreement at an annual and special meeting of CWE Shareholders, including the CWE Reorganization. CWE Shareholders consented to exchange their CWE Shares for shares of three new CWE subsidiaries (CWE Newco A, CWE Newco B, and C CWE Newco) as required for Amalgamation A and the subsequent Amalgamation B and C steps, leading up to Series B Transactions.

On August 13, 2025, Neural and CWE announced the completion of Amalgamation A, whereby a Neural Subco A amalgamated with CWE Newco A, forming Amalco A and as a result of which, Neural acquired approximately 30.75% of CWE's equity in exchange for issuing 79,999,960 Neural Shares to former CWE Shareholders. See below section titled "Significant Acquisitions and Dispositions" of this Schedule.

On February 13, 2026 and on March 25, 2026, Neural and CWE entered into the SIO Amendment to provide for, among other things, the completion of the Concurrent Financing, additional security issuances by CWE, and the extension of the deadline to complete Series B Transactions to May 31, 2026.

Following the completion of Amalgamation A, Neural currently holds a minority equity interest in CWE, and CWE is accounted for as a non-controlled investment. Neural does not presently control CWE, and CWE continues to operate as a separate business under its existing management structure.

Significant Acquisitions and Dispositions

Neural exercised the Series A Option on August 13, 2025 and, amongst other things, completed Amalgamation A, which resulted in Neural holding 19,999,990 CWE Shares, representing an indirect 30.75% interest in CWE. The transaction constituted a "significant acquisition" as such term is defined in NI 51-102, and the CWE BAR was filed on October 26, 2025, which is incorporated by reference in this Schedule "H" and the Circular. Please see section titled "Certain Documents Incorporated by Reference".

Other than Neural's exercise of the Series A Option, during the three (3) most recently completed financial years, Neural has not completed a significant acquisition or disposition or proposed any significant probable acquisition or disposition for which financial statements would be required under NI 41-101 or NI 51-102.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

General Business Description

CWE through its subsidiaries in Germany, operates a network of specialty retail stores and an e-commerce platform under the Hanf.com brand, its product assortment includes CBD oils and topicals, cannabinoid-infused wellness products, hemp foods, seeds, pet products and accessories. CWE's curated third-party brands are sourced only from EU-based vendors and are distributed across Germany. CWE's operations are conducted in full compliance with applicable laws in the jurisdictions in which it operates, and CWE only engages with parties who hold, or will obtain, all required permits and licenses.

As of the date of the Circular, CWE operates 17 stores across Germany (14 owned and 3 franchised), with the majority of its footprint in Bavaria. CWE's e-commerce platform generates recurring direct-to-consumer revenues and supports specialized microsites for in-house brands such as Hempodia, and MindMunchies. Complementing these channels, CWE is preparing to launch Hanf-Grossmarkt.com, a B2B wholesale portal designed to serve small-format retailers such as kiosks, gas stations and independent CBD shops.

CWE organizes its operations into three principal platforms: (1) its retail platform; (2) its e-commerce platform, and (3) its wholesale distribution platform, each of which are briefly described below:

(1) Retail Platform. CWE owns and franchises branded specialty stores, primarily in the German state of Bavaria. Each of CWE's stores contains standardized merchandising and operating procedures. Each location carries more than 800 stock keeping units across CBD, CBG and CBN products, hemp foods and beverages, seeds, vaporizers and wellness items. CWE's private-label products are a leading category contributor and, together with other cannabinoid products, represent a significant share of its revenue. To accelerate network growth, CWE operates a capital-light franchise program, which makes it accessible to potential franchisees. CWE's franchisees receive site-selection support, two weeks of training in Munich, in-store launch assistance and periodic field visits. Inventory is supplied via CWE's centralized warehouse to maintain brand standards and purchasing leverage.

(2) E-Commerce Platform. CWE operates a national online retail storefront and is developing brand-specific microsites to support private-label lines and targeted consumer segments. As of May 2025, management estimates that the online retail storefront generated average monthly direct-to-consumer revenue of approximately €55,000, with a returning-customer rate of approximately 31% to 37% and average order values of approximately €80. The digital plan emphasizes search-led customer acquisition, multi-site expansion for house brands and ongoing conversion optimization.

(3) Wholesale Platform. CWE plans to launch Hanf-Grossmarkt.com in 2026 as a B2B portal targeting small-format retailers, including CBD shops, kiosks, and service stations, offering curated products fulfilled from CWE's warehouse. From December 2024 through September 2025, the warehouse fulfilled B2B orders for Deutsche Cannabis Manufaktur, providing access to DCM's reseller base. Management estimates that online B2B revenue is approximately €100,000 per month on a run-rate basis. CWE has initiated the development of an in-house B2B sales department to support direct wholesale distribution. Any THC-related activities will be conducted strictly in accordance with applicable laws and subject to the receipt of all necessary approvals.

Principal Products and Markets

CWE is a hemp-based wellness retailer and e-commerce operator focused on non-intoxicating cannabinoid products in Germany. CWE sells CBD oils, flowers, cosmetics, edibles and beverages, pet products, seeds, vaporizers, grow equipment and accessories.

Distribution and Manufacturing Methods

CWE does not manufacture product ingredients internally. Private-label products are produced by third-party EU manufacturers and branded third-party products are sourced from EU vendors.

CBD Product Portfolio and Brand Strategy

General

Hanf.com develops and merchandises a private-label portfolio anchored by its house brands, including Hempodia and MindMunchies, alongside a curated assortment sourced from more than forty suppliers across the EU. Private-label products represent approximately one-half of total sales across oils, cosmetics, edibles and beverages, flowers and selected


accessories. The portfolio is distributed through an omnichannel footprint of owned and franchised shops located primarily in Bavaria and adjacent cities, and through the Hanf.com online retail storefront.

Supplier Sourcing, Pricing & Availability

CWE's assortment is sourced from more than forty suppliers across the EU under a centralized procurement model intended to promote consistency of assortment and availability. To CWE's knowledge, all of CWE's business is carried out in accordance with applicable German regulations, in all material respects.

CWE's supply strategy emphasizes: (i) diversified vendor relationships to reduce dependency risk; (ii) documented quality and compliance; and (iii) inventory rotation via its Dornach warehouse to support both B2C and B2B channels. In addition to supplier-provided lab reports, CWE conducts periodic, risk-based spot testing, including random selection of samples from EU suppliers for independent laboratory analysis, as an added quality-control measure. In connection with franchising activities, franchisees may purchase approved products through the Hanf.com ordering system, while certain non-core items, including clothing and merchandise, are generally sourced directly by franchisees. CWE does not supply cannabis cuttings or other propagation materials as part of its business model. Management also notes improving regulatory clarity for non-intoxicating CBD products, which supports medium-term supply resilience. Nevertheless, supply disruptions, regulatory changes or vendor non-performance could adversely affect availability, pricing and margins.

Private Label Brands and Identifiable Intangible Properties

CWE employs a three-tier brand architecture to reach distinct consumer segments. This framework is intended to support pricing discipline, retail merchandising, and future digital channel expansion. The key private labels include: Hempodia, MindMunchies, and Hanf.com. CWE's identifiable intangible assets consist primarily of brand and domain assets as follows:

  • Hempodia is positioned as CWE's premium wellness brand, emphasizing product quality, design consistency, and consumer trust. The line features cannabinoid-based oils, cosmetics, and related wellness products formulated to align with EU standards for non-intoxicating hemp derivatives. Brand presentation focuses on clarity and reliability, using minimalist packaging and educational merchandising. Hempodia's strategy is to build long-term consumer relationships through credibility and compliance rather than trend-driven marketing.
  • MindMunchies represents CWE's lifestyle and trend-focused brand, designed to appeal to younger, experience-driven consumers. The line features approachable cannabinoid and hemp-based products presented in playful, contemporary packaging. Its merchandising emphasizes creativity, colour, and casual use formats consistent with applicable German and EU regulations.
  • Hanf.com's online retail storefront serves as its direct-to-consumer and online-exclusive platform, offering a curated selection of value-tier products. The line targets cost-conscious and trial-stage consumers by emphasizing accessibility, smaller package sizes, and promotional bundles. Operations are supported by centralized warehousing and integrated fulfillment systems designed to ensure consistent supply across Germany.

As of the date of this Circular, only "Hanf.com" trademark was registered in Germany under the number 018825662 on September 14, 2023, which covers the entire European Union and expires on January 20, 2023. Hempodia, and MindMunchies brands are not yet registered with any patent or trademark office, and CWE intends to secure such protections in due course when deemed appropriate by the management.

Specialized Skill and Knowledge

CWE's business requires skills in regulated retail operations, franchise management, EU/German regulatory compliance, quality assurance and labeling, omnichannel merchandising, e-commerce growth, last-mile and B2B logistics, and brand development. In connection with the Series B Transactions, the Board was reconstituted and will be subject to election at the Meeting and the leadership team of CWE includes: Jörn J. Follmer (Chairman) – capital markets and public company governance; Ronnie Jaegermann (CEO) – multi-store retail leadership and growth financing; Aaron Meckler (Director) – corporate finance and M&A John Ross (CFO) – finance leadership; Eran Ovadia (Director) – public company governance and financial reporting; and Ian Campbell (Director) - multinational operations and regulatory expertise in the field of controlled substances. At present the Board of CWE is comprised of Ronnie Jaegermann and Jörn J. Follmer, and Messrs, Meckler, Ovadia and Campbell will be appointed as directors of CWE upon completion of Series B Transactions. Please see section titled "Particulars of the Matters to be Acted Upon – Election of Directors – New Slate".

CWE will continue to build in-house capabilities in training, compliance, sourcing, franchise support, and digital acquisition while relying on qualified third-party manufacturers and logistics partners for private-label production and fulfillment.

Cyclicality and Seasonality


CWE does not consider its business to be materially cyclical or seasonal in nature. Revenue patterns are generally consistent throughout the year, though modest fluctuations may occur in connection with typical retail factors such as promotional events, new product launches, and the year-end holiday period. CWE may also experience short-term increases in sales during culturally significant industry dates (such as "4/20") that are commonly associated with heightened consumer activity across the cannabis and hemp sectors. These variations are not expected to materially affect overall operating results, and management does not anticipate any structural cyclicality that would significantly influence long-term performance.

Social and Environmental Impact of CWE's Activities

CWE has not implemented any formal social or environmental policies that are fundamental to its operations. However, CWE recognizes the importance of responsible and sustainable business practices and is committed to complying with all applicable environmental regulations in the jurisdictions where it operates, including those relating to waste management, product packaging, and the handling of consumable goods. Where commercially practical, CWE endeavors to minimize its environmental footprint through efficient logistics and eco-friendly packaging. On the social side, CWE's retail and e-commerce operations focus on promoting the lawful, responsible use of CBD products and supporting customer well-being through education and transparency. CWE also contributes to local economies by working with reputable regional suppliers and maintaining positive community relationships in the areas where its stores operate.

Employees

CWE has no employees. Various operating subsidiaries in Germany have 54 employees, CWE's CEO, CFO, corporate controller, corporate secretary and business analysts are part-time consultants. Depending on capital availability in the future, CWE may consider hiring a Chief Operating Officer and other necessary staff.

In the ordinary course of business, CWE outsources all operational aspects of its business to third party contractors, including; accounting and administrative services, cultivation, quality management, facility management, legal services, business development, compliance, project management and execution. All third-party contractors are thoroughly assessed and interviewed before contracting with them to ensure that they have the necessary skills and experience required.

Competitors Summary

CWE's main business focus is on Germany's hemp and CBD retail market, which remains highly fragmented. Most companies that CWE considers to be competitors either running single outlets or online-only operations. Key German-based competitors include the following:

Economic Dependence and Changes to Contracts

Over the next 12 months, CWE does not foresee any renegotiation or termination of its contracts. Although certain operational contracts are expected to be important to the business of CWE, it is not anticipated that the business of CWE will be economically dependent on these contracts. If necessary, CWE believes that it will be able to negotiate contracts with other service providers to achieve its business objectives set out in this Circular.

FOREIGN OPERATIONS

The following section is prepared with regard to requirements of OSC Staff Notice 51-720 - Issuer Guide for Companies Operating in Emerging Markets ("OSC SN 51-720"). For additional discussion about emerging market disclosure matters, please see the section titled "Risk Factors".

Business and Operating Environment

CWE conducts substantially all of its business in the Federal Republic of Germany through CWE Subsidiaries incorporated under the German GmbH legal form. These entities operate under the GmbH-Gesetz and are subject to the BGB and the HGB for civil, commercial and accounting law purposes. Germany is a mature, well-regulated jurisdiction with strong investor protections, established legal and regulatory institutions and transparent governance standards. While CWE does not operate in an "emerging market", CWE has applied the emerging markets disclosure framework, as described under OSC SN 51-720 to ensure full disclosure of relevant factors.

No material restrictions or conditions have been imposed by the Government of Germany or any German regulatory authority (federal or state) on CWE's ability to carry on its CBD/broadcast-retail business, other than those arising in the ordinary course under consumer-product, health-product, licensing, advertising and retail-commerce laws. The German retail business benefits from strong infrastructure, reliable banking and currency systems, well-developed transport and logistics networks and high levels of regulatory-certainty in employment, tax, consumer protection and product-safety regimes.

CWE maintains a local German management team located in Munich, including 54 full-time employees overseeing retail operations, supply chain and regulatory-compliance functions. CWE retains the services of independent legal and accounting advisors in Germany, which include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Eventus-Group / Consiliaris – German accounting and advisory firms providing integrated tax, audit, and corporate-compliance services to support CWE's German operations.
  • KFN+ Law Office – Kai Friedrich Niermann – Specialized legal practice advising on German and EU hemp, CBD, and medical-cannabis regulation, licensing, and compliance.
  • Rechtsanwälte Dr. Schulte, Prof. Schönrath & Schmid Partnerschaftsgesellschaft mbB – German corporate and commercial law firm providing legal support on governance, contracts, and regulatory compliance matters.

Certain CWE Subsidiaries maintain banking relationships with Commerzbank AG and Postbank licensed and supervised by the relevant German financial services authorities.

The Board and management of CWE and CWE Subsidiaries are fully apprised of the German business and operating environment. They have considerable experience working in Europe, with specific knowledge of German retail, regulatory and consumer markets.

CWE's operations are supported by robust internal systems, including compliance oversight, risk-management processes and reporting protocols to the board. While no significant material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting have been identified to date, CWE continues to monitor cross-jurisdictional risks, including those related to supply-chain traceability, regulatory-compliance for hemp/CBD products, currency-fluctuation and banking oversight.

In the event of any changes in the German regulatory regime, such as the licensing of hemp/CBD retail operations, CWE's management is positioned to respond through its local advisors in Germany and to review potential impacts on the business and the preparation of timely disclosure.

Language and Cultural Differences

CWE's foreign operations are conducted primarily in Germany, where the business language is German. CWE's local management, employees, and advisors conduct day-to-day operations, retail management, and regulatory communications


in German. Jörn Follmer, Chairman of the Board, certain officers and directors of CWE Subsidiaries and CWE's advisors are fluent or professionally proficient in German and English and maintain active communication channels with local staff in both languages to ensure accurate reporting and governance oversight. All material corporate, financial, and regulatory documents prepared in German are reviewed internally and, where relevant, will be translated into English for consolidation and disclosure purposes under Canadian securities laws. All of CWE's board and management members are fluent or professionally proficient in English.

While Germany's cultural and business practices are highly compatible with North American commercial norms, CWE remains mindful of procedural differences in administrative processes, formalities of documentation, and communication styles typical in German business and regulatory environments. To mitigate any related risk, CWE maintains consistent bilingual communication and employs local personnel with strong cross-cultural management experience.

Overview of Regulatory Bodies in Germany

CWE is a retailer of CBD products in Germany, which is Europe's largest CBD market. The market is valued at approximately €1 billion in 2025, representing approximately 20-25% of the European CBD sector¹. This market operates under a multifaceted regulatory framework that is shaped by both national authorities and EU legislation.

The BMG is the primary government agency responsible for drug and health policy. It played a pivotal role in enacting the medical cannabis legislation in 2017 and the recently passed CanG for recreational use. The BfArM, under the auspices of the BMG, plays a pivotal role in regulating medical and high-THC cannabis products. In 2017, BfArM established the Cannabis Agency to oversee the cultivation and distribution of medical cannabis. For entities to engage in activities such as cultivation, manufacturing, importation, or sale of medical cannabis, they are required to obtain licenses from BfArM. Additionally, BfArM grants exemptions for handling cannabis exceeding THC limits, such as in the context of research or display purposes.

The BLE, under the Ministry of Food and Agriculture, is the regulatory authority responsible for industrial hemp cultivation. It grants licenses to farmers for cultivating EU-certified low-THC hemp, enforces the THC limit in hemp crops, and conducts field inspections. Additionally, the BLE administers import regulations for hemp raw materials. In essence, the BLE regulates hemp farming to ensure that only approved varieties (with a THC content of up to 0.3%) are cultivated and that crops adhere to the established THC limits.

The BVL is responsible for overseeing food safety and novel foods in Germany. At the European level, the EFSA evaluates the safety of novel foods. The European Commission manages the novel food approval process (with input from EFSA) and maintains the Novel Food Catalogue and the CosIng cosmetics database. European Court of Justice decisions also shape Germany's framework.

In Germany, day-to-day enforcement is typically carried out by state-level agencies, including food safety inspectors, pharmacy regulators, and police officers. Their primary responsibility is to ensure that businesses comply with federal regulations. In practice, enforcement strategies can differ across states. While some local authorities have taken a proactive approach by removing unauthorized CBD products from shelves, others have adopted a more lenient stance. Nevertheless, all agencies operate within the same federal framework.

Timeline for Major Recreational Cannabis Reforms in Germany

March 2017: Germany amended the BtMG on March 10, 2017 to allow cannabis use for medical purposes. Cannabis was moved to a less restricted category of controlled substances, enabling doctors to prescribe cannabis flowers and extracts to seriously ill patients without a special government permit. Licensed physicians could write regular prescriptions for medical cannabis, which patients could fill at pharmacies. Health insurers could reimburse costs in severe cases, creating a legal medical cannabis market for the first time. A new supply chain emerged, international companies began exporting medical-grade cannabis to Germany, pharmacies dispensed it, and domestic firms anticipated opportunities in cultivation and distribution. BfArM set up a Cannabis Agency to oversee cultivation and licensing, and by 2017 Germany quickly became one of Europe's largest medical cannabis markets.

January 2019: The European Commission officially designated cannabinoid extracts, such as CBD oil, as Novel Foods due to their limited consumption prior to 1997. Consequently, from 2019 onwards, CBD in food products or supplements necessitated pre-approval under the EU Novel Food Regulation before being legally marketed. In Germany, the BVL aligned with this EU stance. However, enforcement of the novel food rule was unevenly implemented. Several states' food

authorities initiated the removal of CBD snacks and tinctures from shelves, while consumer protection agencies issued warnings to companies regarding compliance concerns. The introduction of the novel food rule introduced uncertainty and compliance costs, as businesses faced the dilemma of submitting costly novel food applications or suspending edible CBD sales until approvals (which remain pending).

November 2020: In a landmark decision, the Court of Justice of the European Union ruled that CBD "does not appear to have any psychotropic effect or any harmful impact on human health." Consequently, CBD cannot be classified as a narcotic drug under international conventions. The case, known as the Kanavape decision, also established that EU member states may not prohibit the import or marketing of CBD that is lawfully produced in another member state, provided it complies with applicable standards. Germany, as an EU member state, was compelled to ensure that its regulations did not treat legal CBD as a prohibited narcotic. In practice, while Germany still restricts CBD edibles via food law, the stigma associated with CBD has been significantly diminished, which is a positive development for investors and retailers.

March 2021: In March 2021, the BGH of Germany delivered a significant ruling regarding the sale of low-THC hemp tea. The court upheld the classification of cannabis plant material containing less than 0.2% THC (the industrial hemp threshold at the time) as an illegal narcotic, even if it is possible to misuse it for intoxication. In a previous case, shop owners contended that hemp flower tea was a legal food product. However, the court observed that while it is not possible to achieve intoxication by consuming the tea as intended, it is conceivable to extract THC (for instance, by baking the hemp into brownies) to achieve intoxication. Consequently, the product failed to meet the "no abuse for intoxication" requirement. This ruling emphasized that Germany's exemption for industrial hemp (then =0.2% THC) only applies if all realistic abuse scenarios for intoxication are excluded. Following this decision, numerous authorities intensified their scrutiny of hemp flower products. Retailers selling CBD hemp buds or teas faced heightened risks of raids and legal proceedings, as courts could potentially deem their products to be within the purview of narcotics law despite their low THC content. This ruling served as a warning to CBD shops, indicating that certain products (such as smokable hemp buds) existed in a legal gray area.

February 2021: The European Commission added natural CBD derived from hemp to its CosIng cosmetics ingredient database, effectively confirming that CBD is allowed in cosmetics across the EU. The change made clear that nonintoxicating CBD can be used in lotions, creams, and cosmetics as long as the THC content is zero or negligible and the product complies with Cosmetics Regulation (EC) 1223/2009. This opened the door for a wave of CBD skincare and wellness products in Germany and the EU.

September 2021: In September 2021, Germany's federal election resulted in the formation of a new coalition government comprising the Social Democratic Party (SPD), the Green Party (Grüne), and the Free Democratic Party (FDP). Notably, this government made a historic commitment to legalize recreational cannabis for adult use. This announcement generated significant anticipation within the cannabis industry. Consequently, German and international companies embarked on strategic planning for a potential recreational market, encompassing various aspects such as supply chain management and retail models.

June 2022: In June 2022, the EFSA suspended all ongoing evaluations of CBD novel food applications due to unresolved concerns regarding the long-term safety of CBD at high doses. Consequently, Germany maintained its position of treating CBD foods and supplements as "not yet marketable" pending scientific validation. The EFSA's decision highlighted the potential risks associated with substantial investments in CBD edibles.

January 2023: In 2023, a change in EU agricultural policy raised the maximum THC allowed in industrial hemp from 0.2% to 0.3%. This came via the new Common Agricultural Policy rules for 2023 onward, aligning Europe with international norms. Germany accordingly adjusted its definition of industrial hemp in the new cannabis laws to 0.3% THC dry weight. This slightly broadened the range of hemp strains available, potentially enabling plants with better CBD yields. It improves farmers' competitiveness and may increase the CBD content that can be legally extracted from hemp grown in Germany.

August 2023: Following extensive deliberation and EU consultation, the German government in 2023 introduced the CanG Cannabis Act. The draft law, approved by the cabinet in August 2023, outlined "Pillar 1" of legalization: limited personal use allowances, home cultivation, and non-profit cannabis social clubs. The purpose was to begin a controlled legalization while respecting EU law constraints. While CBD shops would not immediately be selling THC products, the reform meant consumers and authorities would increasingly differentiate between high-THC intoxicants and low-THC wellness products.

April 1, 2024: On April 1, 2024, Germany officially implemented the CanG. Adult possession of up to 25 grams of cannabis in public and 50 grams at home was legalized, eliminating cannabis as a criminal offense. Adults 18 years of age and above are permitted to cultivate up to three cannabis plants for personal use within their residences. Cannabis was formally

removed from the BtMG and is now governed by the new CanG and related regulations. The law also streamlined medical cannabis regulations, such as eliminating the requirement for a specific narcotic prescription form for medical cannabis. While immediate commercial sales of recreational cannabis were still prohibited in retail stores (sales were exclusively conducted through clubs), the decriminalization of cannabis led to a reduction in suspicion surrounding the possession of CBD/hemp products.

July 2024: A few months after CanG were implemented, the first non-profit Cannabis Social Clubs were allowed to begin operations as of July 1, 2024. These clubs (capped at 500 members each) can collectively cultivate cannabis and distribute it to their adult members for personal use, under strict regulations. While clubs themselves are non-commercial, their emergence is a step toward a broader market.

Post-CanG Unresolved Legal Ambiguities in Germany's Regulatory Framework Relating to CBD

Germany's CanG, effective April 1, 2024, enacted a fundamental shift in national drug policy by decriminalizing private cannabis use for adults. However, this liberalization was narrowly targeted at THC-rich cannabis intended for personal use. The commercial retail market, specifically for low-THC CBD products, was excluded from the reform. Because the CanG did not provide a separate, comprehensive regulatory basis for CBD sales, these CBD products remain subject to the most restrictive interpretations of existing legislation. For commercial CBD retailers, the risk exposure originates from three independent and overlapping regulatory pillars: Criminal Law (inherited from the BtMG), Food Law (Novel Food Regulation), and Medicinal Products Law (Arzneimittelgesetz – AMG). A product that successfully navigates two pillars may still fail on the third, leading to abrupt legal intervention. This legislative gap is the root cause of the high level of regulatory risk for businesses involved in the sector.

CanG raised the maximum allowable THC content for industrial hemp from 0.2% to 0.3%, however, pre-2024 jurisprudence remains influential. In June 2022, the BGH in Germany upheld criminal convictions of CBD-retail operators. The court ruled that even low-THC hemp flowers could potentially be misused for intoxication, for example, by heating or baking to concentrate their THC content. This strict reasoning effectively treated CBD flowers with less than 0.2% THC as illicit narcotics and remains cited in ongoing prosecutorial guidance. Although the 2024 CanG was designed to supersede such interpretations, its transitional clause essentially preserved the same threshold test. BMEL has published draft amendments proposing the deletion of this clause, further, on March 19, 2026, the Bundestag referred the Green Party's proposed hemp-liberalization bill to committee. The bill would delete the residual "intoxication" clause, permit indoor cultivation and raise the THC threshold for industrial hemp to 1%. However, as of April 14, 2026, the proposal had not been enacted. However, as of the date of this Circular, the deletion is not yet legally effective. As a result, even products that meet the THC threshold of 0.3% may remain exposed to enforcement actions such as seizures or raids by local law-enforcement or regulatory authorities under the residual "intoxication" risk.

Under CanG, propagation material, i.e. seeds and cuttings, is defined separately from "cannabis". But some prosecutors argue that once a cutting is inserted into a medium or has roots, it is no longer a cutting and becomes a plant, triggering stricter rules. On September 3, 2025, a local court in Halle convicted Angelika Saidi, the spokesperson of DHV's Halle chapter. The case stems from an educational event where she gave away cannabis cuttings to explain legal home cultivation. Prosecutors treated this as the cultivation of 117 cannabis plants, not as handing out propagation material; DHV says it will appeal to get a higher-court ruling that clarifies what legally counts as a cutting. On March 5 2026, local reporting said the court again sided with the restrictive view, treated the 117 items as plants rather than lawful cuttings, and imposed a higher fine of €1,800, up from the lower first-instance penalty. Until regulators issue consistent guidelines or approvals for each category, the business faces ongoing risk that a product could be reclassified without warning, forcing relabeling, market withdrawal, or other compliance burdens.

Post-CanG Regulatory Developments and Trends

July 1, 2024: The legal window for the establishment of adult-only, non-profit Cannabis Social Clubs became effective. These clubs, limited to 500 members each, were intended to be the regulated, non-commercial producers and distributors of cannabis. However, following the opening of the licensing window, reports quickly indicated that the system was suffering severe administrative friction. Despite a rapid surge in applications—with 226 submitted across the country by a reported date—only a minimal number of permits (e.g., eight in a single federal state) had been granted. Officials and industry leaders noted that the bureaucracy and lack of a clear, consistent framework were profoundly frustrating applicants. In highly conservative states like Bavaria, the effective implementation of complex and restrictive administrative requirements, such as adherence to strict building codes or local zoning laws, effectively halted the operation of nearly all potential clubs. This outcome demonstrates how state-level administrative resistance replaced outright prohibition, creating a severe bottleneck

  • I - 10 -

in the legal supply chain and fundamentally hindering the CanG's core goal of reducing black market activity.

Q2 2025: The state of Bavaria, a leading opponent of the CanG, introduced its own measures to limit the consequences of the federal law. This included special park ordinances banning consumption in various public green spaces and the passage of the "Cannabis Consequences Limitation Act" (ConLimG). This state legislation imposed blanket bans on consumption in outdoor restaurant areas (such as beer gardens) and at public festivals, restrictions that went significantly beyond the 100-meter limits defined in the federal CanG. This represented an aggressive use of state legislative and police power aimed at establishing a distinct, far more restrictive regional legal regime than intended by the federal Parliament.

April 24, 2025: The DHV announced it is suing Bavaria over its ultra-restrictive implementation of CanG. Bavaria has introduced a special "park ordinance" that bans cannabis consumption in various public parks; DHV argues these state rules go beyond what the federal law allows and are therefore unconstitutional. DHV already filed a "popular action" (Popularklage) at the Bavarian Constitutional Court in October 2024, and is now pursuing two new steps: a norm-control application (judicial review of the ordinance) and an urgent application seeking interim suspension, both at Bavaria's Higher Administrative Court. DHV also says it is preparing a separate lawsuit against Bavaria's health-protection law, which imposes additional consumption bans beyond CanG.

July 29, 2025: A key preliminary victory for the plaintiffs occurred when the VGH ruled to temporarily lift the consumption ban in the northern section of Munich's famous English Garden. This decision suggested that the court viewed the blanket nature of the Bavarian consumption ordinances critically, affirming that specific, localized consumption bans must be proportional and scientifically justified, rather than being ideological or general prohibitions. This initial judicial scrutiny strongly indicated that state restrictions would be subject to a proportionality test and could not be used for ideological nullification of federal law.

July 30, 2025: The legal conflict escalated the day after the VGH ruling. The DHV filed a constitutional complaint against the broader Bavarian ConLimG, specifically challenging the blanket ban on consumption at public festivals and in outdoor gastronomy. The plaintiffs, supported by DHV CEO Georg Wurth, criticized Bavaria for crafting its own "anti-cannabis law for ideological reasons". They argued that these excessive regulations disproportionately interfered with fundamental rights guaranteed to consumers, medical patients, and hospitality operators. This move represents the escalation of the dispute to the highest judicial level, seeking a definitive ruling on the supremacy of the federal CanG over contradictory state measures.

Q4 2025: The first interim report by EKOCAN has been released in late 2025. The EKOCAN interim report concluded that consumption rates remained relatively stable in the short term, with a slight increase among adults but a slight decline among young people. Crucially, the report noted a dramatic decrease of at least 100,000 fewer cannabis offenses recorded in 2024 compared to the previous year. Road safety risks were also found not to have risen substantially. However, the report also highlighted the critical failure of the supply mechanism: the legal sources (CSCs) only covered an estimated 0.1% of demand, and there was no reliable data to confirm a reduction in the black market. The resulting dynamic is that empirical data supports the benefits of decriminalization (reduced offenses and stable health metrics), but simultaneously highlights the failure of administrative implementation, which weakens the law's effectiveness. The EKOCAN data provided conflicting arguments that were immediately seized upon by both sides of the political spectrum. Proponents focus on the objective metric of reduced criminal offenses. Opponents focus on the stability of consumption rates and the structural failure of the CSC system, arguing that the law has not achieved its stated goal of eliminating the black market. The release of the EKOCAN findings coincided with a major political transition, including the ousting of the "Traffic Light Coalition" that championed the reform and the emergence of a new Christian Democrat (CDU)-led opposition. The CDU immediately intensified its anti-cannabis rhetoric, publicly threatening to restrict or even roll back the changes brought about by the CanG.

September 9, 2025: The EFSA released a draft updated safety assessment of CBD as a novel food in the European Commission / EU regulatory framework. The document proposes a safe daily intake of 2 mg of CBD for a 70-kg adult, highlights significant remaining data gaps (especially for pregnant/lactating women, those under 25, and people using medications), and opens a public consultation period until October 14, 2025. This move signals that the EU is intent on imposing much stricter regulatory controls on CBD—potentially limiting market access and reformulating demand for CBD-containing foods and supplements.

October 7, 2025: Lawmakers from the Bündnis 90/Die Grünen (German Green Party) introduced a draft bill to amend the CanG to ease restrictions on industrial hemp. The proposal includes removing the "intoxication clause", raising the THC limit for industrial hemp from 0.3 % to 1 %, and legalising indoor cultivation of hemp. If passed, this change could significantly boost Germany's industrial hemp sector by expanding cultivation and processing opportunities — while also raising regulatory and compliance challenges around THC thresholds.

  • I - 11 -

October 8, 2025: The BMG announced that the federal cabinet had approved a draft law to amend the MedCanG. The proposal sought to tighten access to medical cannabis by requiring personal physician-patient contact before cannabis flowers may be prescribed, limiting follow-up prescribing without renewed in-person consultation, and excluding mail-order distribution of medical cannabis, while preserving pharmacy delivery services.

November 26, 2025: A notable judicial development in Bavaria’s implementation of the cannabis framework, the VGH ruled that the blanket ban on cannabis consumption in Munich’s English Garden, Hofgarten and Finanzgarten was unlawful and ineffective. The ruling clarified that Bavaria could not use park regulations to impose broader prohibitions that conflicted with the federal KCanG framework.

December 18, 2025: A proposed amendment to the MedCanG advanced at the federal level. The Bundestag held its first reading on December 18, 2025, and the Health Committee conducted a public hearing on January 14, 2026. The proposal would require personal physician-patient contact before cannabis flowers may be prescribed for medical purposes and would further tighten the framework for medical-cannabis access, including by restricting remote prescribing models and mail-order distribution practices that had developed through telemedical platforms.

February 9, 2026: At the EU level, EFSA published its updated novel food safety statement on CBD following consultation, setting a provisional safe intake level of approximately 2 mg per day for a 70-kg adult, while continuing to identify significant concerns for persons under 25, pregnant or lactating women, and those taking medications. Around the same time, the EC terminated at least one CBD novel food authorization procedure, indicating that the regulatory environment for ingestible CBD products in the EU remains restrictive rather than liberalizing.

March 26, 2026: The BGH ruled that advertising medical cannabis treatments to consumers violates German medicinal advertising law. The decision narrowed the commercial scope for online and telemedical marketing of medical cannabis, even as broader legislative changes to the medical regime remained under review.

Enforcement and State (Länder) Variability (Post-CanG)

The 2024 reforms delegate significant responsibilities to state authorities. For example, state governments oversee the licensing and supervision of Cannabis Social Clubs and will collaborate on pilot programs for commercial sales in select "model regions". In practice, this can lead to enforcement intensity varying regionally. This divergence is most pronounced in Bavaria, where authorities have adopted some of the country's strictest approaches to CBD/hemp retail. The result has been heavy-handed law-enforcement actions in some regions even where products are later shown to be compliant, posing ongoing operational, legal, and reputational risks to market participants, including CWE. CWE has experienced these enforcement actions despite operating in full compliance with prevailing laws and regulations. CWE will continue to monitor regulatory developments, including any post-legalization enforcement trends, to uphold its commitment to good standing across all jurisdictions.

Below is a chronological summary of all known raids on CWE's operations in Germany:

April 2019 (Bavaria): In a major multi-site raid, about 180 police officers and a dozen prosecutors searched over 14 hemp shops in Munich and surrounding areas, and three of CWE's stores were among the targets². This large-scale raid launched numerous investigations but yielded no immediate evidence of criminal activity, all products had lab analyses showing THC below the legal 0.2% limit³.

October 2019 (Bavaria): CWE estimates the 2019 raids (April and October) spanned 8 separate searches across his shops⁴. Multiple criminal cases were opened in different Bavarian jurisdictions as a result, however, prosecutors in Traunstein, Landshut, Regensburg, and Munich II eventually dropped their cases for lack of evidence⁵.

December 2021 (Saxony): On the day Germany's new federal government took office in late 2021, police in Chemnitz (Saxony) raided a Hanf.com franchise store⁶, even though these products were under the THC threshold⁷.

July 2022 (Bavaria): About 20 officers descended on CWE's central warehouse in Baldham, seizing an estimated €60,000

worth of inventory⁸. In parallel, police on behalf of Prosecutor's Office Landshut raided the Hanf.com retail store in Erding, confiscating 49 different products⁹. After nearly 34 months of lab testing and scrutiny, authorities found none of the products exceeded the legal THC limit. The case was finally dropped in May 2025 and the seized goods were released, albeit expired, improperly stored, and largely unsellable by then¹⁰.

Late 2024 – Early 2025 (Bavaria): Police raided the Hanf.com store in Ingolstadt in late 2024, where they destroyed 13 young cannabis plants kept for sale, even though the plants had no buds and not intoxicating. On Feb 5, 2025, a newly opened Hanf.com franchise in Kempten was searched by undercover officers, who seized 37 cannabis cuttings along with compliant CBD flowers¹¹. The Kempten shop's owner was charged with illegal cannabis trading, a court initially issued an 8-month suspended sentence, which he appealed, leading to an ongoing trial – the first in Germany over legally sold cannabis cuttings¹².

May–June 2025 (Bavaria): On May 22, 2025, officers raided two Munich city stores (Tal 40 and Einsteinstraße)¹³. Police seized approximately 1,400–1,500 cannabis cuttings and assorted hemp products. On June 4, 2025, another raid in Baldham carried out, 15 rooted cannabis seedlings were confiscated¹⁴.

It is worth noting that, following the coming into force of Germany's CanG framework on April 1, 2024, including an amnesty mechanism applicable to certain prior cannabis offences, CWE has observed that a number of legacy enforcement matters relating to CBD/hemp products have been discontinued and seized inventory has been ordered released or returned. In parallel, as authorities and courts continue to apply and interpret the post-April 2024 framework, certain more recent matters relating to the classification of cannabis cuttings/seedlings have arisen in Bavaria, reflecting evolving enforcement interpretations during the transition period.

CBD and Hemp Product Classification

Although CBD is not a narcotic in Germany, its legality is contingent upon adherence to stringent conditions pertaining to THC content, product category, and intended usage. However, CBD products do not fall neatly within a single regulatory category, and their legal treatment varies depending on intended use, composition, and marketing claims. Below is

CBD in Food Products: CBD intended for ingestion (e.g. in foods, beverages, or supplements) falls under the EU's Novel Food Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2015/2283). This regulation requires that any food not significantly consumed in the EU before May 15, 1997 obtain pre-market authorization as a "novel food." CBD extracts and isolated cannabinoids have been classified as novel foods since 2019, as historical consumption before 1997 was not demonstrated. To date, no CBD (or other cannabinoid) ingredient has been authorized under the EU novel food regime, this means that CBD-infused foods and supplements are not legally marketable in the EU pending such authorization. In June 2022, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) concluded that it could not establish the safety of CBD as a novel food due to significant data gaps and paused assessments pending further evidence. In a 2025 updated safety assessment¹⁵, the EFSA noted persistent uncertainties and proposed a tentative safe intake level as low as 2 mg of CBD per day. On 9 February 2026¹⁶, EFSA published an updated statement setting only a provisional safe intake level for CBD of 0.0275 mg/kg body weight per day, about 2 mg/day for a 70 kg adult, and it emphasized that important data gaps remain. Until any CBD novel food is approved and listed on the EU's authorized novel foods catalogue, ingestible CBD products are technically not permitted for sale as food, and businesses face the risk of enforcement actions if authorities choose to crack down on unauthorized novel foods.

German authorities mirror the EU stance on CBD in edibles. The German Federal Office of Consumer Protection and Food Safety (BVL) has explicitly stated that it is not aware of any scenario in which CBD in food products (including dietary supplements) would be considered lawfully marketable. In line with this view, any food or supplement containing added CBD is treated by German regulators as an unauthorized novel food. It should be noted that the EU Novel Food Catalogue (which lists CBD as novel) is not legally binding per se; rather, it creates a rebuttable presumption. Enforcement in Germany is carried out at the federal state level by local food safety authorities, not by the BVL directly. Consequently, there has

been some variability in enforcement: certain Länder have taken a harder line by removing CBD-infused products from shelves or issuing warnings, while others have been more permissive pending EU-level decisions. A few disputes over the status of CBD food products have already reached German administrative courts. Nonetheless, the prevailing risk in Germany is that any CBD-containing consumable (oils, gummies, beverages, etc.) may be subject to regulatory action (e.g. product bans or recalls) until and unless a novel food authorization is granted at the EU level.

CBD in Cosmetic Products: The regulation of cosmetics is largely harmonized across the EU by the Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No. 1223/2009. Following the landmark "Kanavape" ruling of the Court of Justice of the EU in November 2020 (Case C-663/18), CBD is no longer regarded as a narcotic drug under EU law insofar as it has no psychotropic effect. In 2021, the European Commission clarified that hemp-derived or synthetic CBD is not considered a prohibited substance in cosmetics (i.e. it is not caught by the ban on cannabis extracts in Annex II). This means companies can legally include CBD as an ingredient in cosmetics, provided the product contains no THC (or only trace amounts within safe limits) and complies with general safety and labeling requirements. Notably, EU authorities have launched a scientific review via the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) to determine safe exposure levels of CBD and permissible traces of THC in cosmetic products. The SCCS published a preliminary opinion in November 2025. It concluded, on the data submitted, that CBD is considered safe in dermal and oral cosmetic products at concentrations up to 0.19%, and that THC impurities are considered safe up to 0.00025%[17]. In Germany, CBD cosmetics are available on the market and are overseen by state consumer protection offices. They must not make therapeutic claims and they remain subject to the general stipulation that any trace THC content be below narcotic thresholds. Importantly, German regulators concur that CBD in cosmetics is allowable under EU law – for example, recent actions by other EU countries to restrict CBD cosmetics have been viewed as not aligned with EU law post-Kanavape. Thus, CWE's CBD topicals and cosmetic products are legally viable in Germany and the EU, as long as they adhere to cosmetic safety regulations and contain negligibly low THC.

Vape Products: The sale of CBD for inhalation (e.g. as vape pen liquids or "e-cigarette" cartridges without nicotine) falls under a separate regulatory category in Germany. CBD-only vaping products containing no nicotine or tobacco are treated as "herbal products for smoking" under German law, specifically within the scope of the German Tobacco Products Act Tabakerzeugnisgesetz. This classification means that while CBD vape liquids are not outright banned, they must comply with regulations similar to those for tobacco substitutes. For instance, they cannot be sold to minors, and their marketing is restricted in much the same way as tobacco products. There are also ingredient purity requirements: only certain additives are permitted in e-liquids. As of 2024 Germany has tightened rules on vapor products in general. Retailers like CWE must ensure any CBD vapor products do not contain prohibited substances, do not exceed the 0.3% THC threshold, and carry appropriate health warnings. Furthermore, advertising of vaping products is strictly limited, and any suggestion that a CBD vape has health benefits would be prohibited. It is noteworthy that classifying CBD vapes as "tobacco-related" products is unique to their form; if the same CBD extract were in a food, it would be considered a novel food, whereas in a vape format it is legal to sell but regulated under smoking product laws. CWE's operations must therefore navigate this distinct regulatory treatment by implementing age-verification for sales, adhering to labeling rules, and monitoring evolving tobacco-related regulations that may impact flavored or inhalable products.

Industrial Hemp Flower: Dried hemp flowers and leaves with naturally low THC content are derived from industrial hemp – defined in EU and German law as cannabis varieties with minimal THC (not exceeding 0.3% by weight) and grown from EU-certified seed. German law historically exempted such hemp from the Narcotics Act only if it is used "exclusively for commercial or scientific purposes that exclude intoxication". This proviso, often called the "no abuse for intoxication" clause, has made retail sale of hemp flower to end-consumers legally ambiguous. In March 2021, a significant ruling by the BGH clarified that the mere sale of low-THC hemp tea or flowers to the public "is not fundamentally prohibited" under narcotics law as long as any abusive misuse for intoxication can be ruled out. The BGH recognized that hemp products with THC below 0.2% (the threshold at the time of that case, now 0.3%) are not considered narcotic if there is no intent to use them as a drug. In practical terms, this decision protects farmers, producers, and retailers of hemp in Germany, confirming that unprocessed hemp flower is lawful to distribute to consumers, provided it is extremely unlikely to be diverted for psychoactive use. However, the requirement to "exclude" intoxicating use is interpreted strictly. Authorities in some regions continue to conduct raids or initiate prosecutions against retailers of CBD hemp buds, arguing that even low-THC flower could be misused (e.g. by consuming large quantities or extracting cannabinoids) – an interpretation that led to past seizures and court cases. The new CanG has amended thresholds in the definition of industrial hemp (raising allowable THC content to 0.3% from the former 0.2%, aligning with updated EU standards), but it retained the key condition that the product must not be intended for intoxicating purposes. Therefore, while CWE can legally sell hemp herb products in Germany, it does

so in a careful compliance environment: sourcing only EU-certified strains, ensuring THC remains under 0.3%, labeling products as not for smoking (where applicable) or only for tea/aroma use, and being mindful that enforcement attitudes vary by state. Any indication that customers are purchasing hemp flower to smoke for a "high" could invite law enforcement scrutiny despite the BGH precedent.

Cannabinoid Isolates and Extracts: The regulatory treatment of pure cannabinoid isolates (such as crystalline CBD or CBG, or THC-free distillates) depends on their intended use. In food or ingestible products, isolates are considered novel foods just like full-spectrum extracts, with no authorizations granted yet. In cosmetics or topical products, a CBD isolate is permissible as an ingredient, subject to the same safety and labeling rules discussed above. Isolates generally contain 0% THC, which can simplify compliance with narcotic laws; however, high-purity CBD can raise other concerns. For instance, a pharmaceutical-grade isolate might overlap with the active substance in Epidyolex (the EU-approved CBD epilepsy medication), and if marketed for therapeutic purposes, could be treated as an unauthorized medicine. BfArM have taken the stance that a product containing CBD might be classified as a medicinal product if medicinal claims are made or if its concentration/dosage has a pharmacological effect. Thus, CWE must refrain from implying that isolate-based products cure or treat diseases. Germany has also reacted to the emergence of synthetic or semi-synthetic cannabinoids that are intoxicating (but not explicitly listed in drug schedules) – for example, HHC and certain THC analogues were banned via an amendment to the Narcotics Act in 2023. Non-intoxicating cannabinoids like CBD, CBG, etc., remain legal when derived from hemp, but CWE must continuously monitor for any legislative changes that might affect novel cannabinoids. Overall, cannabinoid isolates sold by CWE are handled in compliance with applicable laws: ingestible forms are avoided or sold only where legally allowed, and non-ingestible forms are formulated and marketed without health claims.

DIVIDENDS OR DISTRIBUTIONS

CWE has not declared or paid dividends since its inception. CWE does not currently anticipate paying dividends or making distributions on its shares in the foreseeable future. CWE intends to retain any future earnings, if any, to finance the development and growth of its business and to meet its ongoing working capital requirements. Any future determination by CWE to declare dividends or make distributions will be at the discretion of CWE's board of directors (or equivalent governing body), taking into account, among other things, CWE's financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, contractual restrictions (if any), and such other factors as the board of directors considers relevant.

Board of Directors

CWE is governed by a board of directors that is responsible for supervising the management of the business and affairs of CWE. The board provides strategic guidance, oversees management performance, and reviews material corporate decisions. Given CWE's status as a private company, the board has not made formal determinations regarding director independence under NI 58-101 or NI 52-110.

CWE Board currently consists of two (2) directors: Aaron Meckler and Jörn Follmer.

Orientation and Continuing Education

CWE does not maintain a formal orientation or continuing education program for directors. New directors are provided with relevant information concerning CWE's business, operations and strategic objectives and are encouraged to meet with management to become familiar with CWE's affairs.

Ethical Business Conduct

CWE expects its directors, officers and employees to conduct themselves in an ethical manner and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. While CWE does not currently maintain a formal written code of business conduct, conflicts of interest are addressed through disclosure to the board, and directors and officers are expected to abstain from deliberations and decisions where a conflict exists.

Nomination of Directors

The nomination of directors of CWE is overseen by the board as a whole. The board reviews its composition from time to time and considers candidates based on experience, skills, and the needs of CWE's business.

Compensation

Compensation of directors and officers of CWE is determined by the board, taking into account the responsibilities of the role, individual performance, and the financial position of CWE. Additional details regarding executive compensation are set out under the heading "Executive Compensation" in this Schedule "I".

Board Committees and Assessments

CWE does not maintain standing board committees and does not conduct formal performance assessments of the board or individual directors. Given the size and structure of CWE, the board believes that informal oversight and ongoing communication among directors and management is appropriate and effective.

RISK FACTORS

An investment in the securities of CWE is subject to certain risks. In addition to considering the other information in this Circular, readers should carefully review the following risk factors related to CWE's business. If any of the identified risks were to materialize, CWE's business, financial position, results, and/or future operations could be materially affected.

The risk factors identified in this Circular and the documents incorporated by reference, are not exhaustive. Other factors not currently foreseen by CWE's management may arise in the future, presenting additional risks. Readers are cautioned that the following risk factors do not cover all potential risks and additional risks or uncertainties, including those currently unknown or considered immaterial, may also adversely affect CWE.

This section is organized into subsections, each grouping risk factors into relevant categories: (i) Risks Related to the Regulatory Environment; (ii) Risks Related to the CBD Industry in Germany and EU; (iii) Risks Related to the Ownership of CWE's Securities; and (iv) Risks Related to CWE's Business Generally.

Risks Related to the Regulatory Environment

CWE Operates in a Nascent Industry with a Highly Uncertain Regulatory Environment

In Germany, CBD is not classified as a narcotic under the BtMG provided that the THC content does not exceed 0.3% and the product cannot be used for intoxicating purposes, while CBD itself is not scheduled but CBD-containing products are subject to EU and German product-specific regimes (including food, cosmetics and consumer products laws). All hemiderived activities carried out by or on behalf of CWE are conducted in accordance with applicable German federal, German


state and EU laws and regulations governing hemp, consumer safety, labeling, and product marketing. While CWE is engaged exclusively in the lawful retail and distribution of hemp-derived wellness and lifestyle products, it does not have any direct or indirect involvement in the illegal cultivation, processing, sale, or distribution of cannabis or narcotic substances, nor does it intend to engage in any such activities in the jurisdictions in which it operates.

Any changes in applicable laws and regulations could have an adverse effect on CWE's operations. The CBD/hemp industry is a relatively new and evolving industry and CWE cannot predict the impact of the continuously evolving compliance regime in respect of this industry. Similarly, CWE cannot predict the time required to secure all appropriate regulatory approvals for future products, or the extent of testing and documentation that may, from time to time, be required by governmental authorities. CWE may incur ongoing costs and obligations related to regulatory compliance. Failure to comply with regulations may result in additional costs for corrective measures, penalties or restrictions on CWE's operations. In addition, changes in regulations, more vigorous enforcement thereof or other unanticipated events could require extensive changes to CWE's operations, increased compliance costs or give rise to material liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and operating results of CWE.

The success of CWE's business is dependent on its activities being permissible under applicable laws and any reform of controlled-substances laws or other product-specific laws may have a material impact on CWE's business and success. There is no assurance that activities of CWE will continue to be legally permissible and CWE may become subject to the enforcement policies of multiple authorities, including German federal and state authorities responsible for narcotics control and consumer protection, as well as relevant EU institutions. CWE could also face enforcement actions or proceedings initiated by regulatory authorities or private parties in connection with the sale, labeling, or marketing of hemp-derived products.

Risks Related to Potential Changes in Regulations

Germany's cannabis and hemp framework remains politically contested and subject to revision; adverse amendments, stricter interpretations, and tighter administrative practice could materially and adversely affect CWE's operations, product mix, and compliance costs.

Although the CanG entered into force on July 1, 2024, the legal framework governing cannabis and hemp remains politically contested and subject to further modification. The current federal coalition (CDU/CSU-SPD) mandated an open-ended evaluation in autumn 2025, with a first interim report scheduled for October 1, 2025 and further reporting through 2028. This keeps the statute explicitly "results-open," and senior CDU figures have publicly argued for rolling back parts of legalization. Even without full reversal, tighter rules "by association" (e.g., packaging/marketing/age-gating) could be introduced, which would raise compliance burdens for CBD retail.

A related tightening is also observable in the medical-cannabis framework. While distinct from CBD retail, it sets the tone for institutional risk tolerance across the sector. In October 2025, the Federal Cabinet approved amendments to the MedCanG requiring in-person medical consultations for cannabis prescriptions and prohibiting mail-order pharmacy distribution, thereby confining sales to licensed brick-and-mortar pharmacies. Around the same time, the BfArM temporarily suspended new import licences after Germany reached its 2025 national import quota of approximately 122 tonnes, signaling a tighter administrative stance on supply governance. Although these measures target the prescription cannabis market, banks, insurers and payment processors often de-risk the entire cannabis category, applying heightened due-diligence or underwriting restrictions to CBD-related enterprises as well.

Risks Related to Third-Party Manufacturers

CWE's commercial arrangements with third-party manufacturers, logistics providers and laboratories are such that neither CWE nor its employees bear any responsibility for cultivating, extracting or manufacturing controlled substances. However, if a regulator determined that CWE was involved with any of the aforementioned activities, CWE would not be licensed for such activities and, in order to protect its interests, would have to terminate these relationships. While this would assist in addressing the regulatory compliance issue in this case, the impact of compliance regimes, any delays in obtaining, or failure to obtain, regulatory approvals may significantly delay or impact the development of markets, CWE's business and products, and sales initiatives and could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and operating results of CWE.

Risks Related to Delays or Stalled Legislative Implementation

The CBD sector's future depends on pending legal reforms at both national and EU levels. Any delay or failure to pass new laws that clarify CBD's status would prolong today's uncertainties. For example, if Germany does not enact the proposed hemp amendment removing the "no intoxication" clause, CBD retailers could remain exposed to enforcement as though

  • I - 22 -

they were trading narcotics. Likewise, at the EU level, slow progress in Novel Food authorizations for CBD means ingestible products technically remain non-compliant – a situation that will persist until EU authorities formally approve CBD as a food additive. In short, the longer lawmakers take to codify clear, CBD-friendly regulations (or if such efforts fail), the longer CWE must operate in an uncertain regulatory environment, with the risk of sudden adverse changes if authorities elect to enforce old rules or incorrectly enforce rules.

Risks Related to Compliance with CBD Product Classification

The classification of CBD and related hemp-derived compounds under German and EU law remains unsettled, giving rise to material legal and compliance risks for all market participants. CBD products do not fall neatly within a single regulatory category, and their legal treatment varies depending on intended use, composition, and marketing claims. For example, orally ingested CBD products such as oils, capsules, and gummies are generally considered "novel foods" within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2015/2283 and therefore require prior authorization by the European Commission before they can be legally marketed. Conversely, CBD products promoted with explicit or implied health or therapeutic claims risk reclassification as unauthorized medicinal products, the sale of which is restricted to licensed pharmacies under the Medicinal Products Act (Arzneimittelgesetz). German courts and regulators have repeatedly held that even indirect references to therapeutic benefit such as claims of "relief," "sleep support," or "stress reduction", may suffice to trigger medicinal classification. The cumulative effect of this fragmented regime is that a single CBD formulation may fall under different legal categories depending on packaging, wording, or perceived use. Furthermore, minor labeling errors or marketing language deemed misleading can result in product seizures, fines, or recalls.

Risks Related to Emerging Cannabinoids Products

The same uncertainty extends to "minor cannabinoids" compounds such as CBG, CBN, and hemp-derived THC isomers (such as Delta-6a, Delta-7, Delta-8, and Delta-10 cannabinoids) that are increasingly used in wellness and functional products. The legal treatment of these substances is uneven and continues to evolve under German and EU regimes, including because different frameworks may apply depending on the compound, the method of manufacture, and the product format. In Germany, certain THC isomers are expressly controlled under the Narcotic Drugs Act, while other cannabinoids and derivatives may instead raise classification and authorization issues under EU and Member State product regimes, including food and Novel Food rules. In the absence of clear guidance, many operators have assumed that non-psychoactive cannabinoids like CBG are lawful if derived from compliant hemp. However, regulatory bodies could determine that certain compounds, particularly those with mild psychoactive or sedative properties such as CBN, or those obtained through synthetic conversion, should be classified as controlled substances or require separate Novel Food approval. Several EU member states have already restricted the sale of delta-8-THC and other semi-synthetic cannabinoids, reflecting a wider trend toward tighter oversight of chemically modified hemp derivatives. Germany put HHC under the New Psychoactive Substances Act in June 2024 and the federal risk agency BfR reiterated in 2025 that manufacture, sale, purchase, and possession are prohibited. In such a scenario, a product expansion into new cannabinoid formats could expose CWE to abrupt regulatory prohibitions or forced product removals. Even absent formal reclassification, arbitrary enforcement remains a concern; newly introduced cannabinoids may trigger caution or misunderstanding among authorities simply due to limited familiarity.

Risks Related to State-Level Enforcement Disparities

Enforcement of CBD and hemp-product laws in Germany has exhibited significant disparities across states, resulting in an uneven risk environment for CBD retailers. CWE primarily operates its stores in Bavaria, which stands out for its notably aggressive stance. Bavaria's state government and law enforcement have adopted a stringent, zero-tolerance approach to cannabis products, including legal CBD hemp. Even activities expressly permitted by new laws have been blocked in Bavaria. For example, Bavarian authorities view any THC-bearing material (no matter how minimal the THC or how legal elsewhere) with suspicion, often invoking the "potential for abuse" as justification to raid CBD shops. They have even treated the sale of hemp tea, CBD oils, and seedlings as possible narcotics trafficking. This political climate has translated into proactive raids and prosecutions, for example, in 2025, a fully approved cannabis social club in Kirchdorf (Upper Bavaria) was shut down minutes after opening by order of the state government.[18]

Risks Related to Strict Labeling, Packaging, and Claims Regulations

Even when a CBD product is lawful to sell, how it is presented is heavily regulated. Labeling and marketing mistakes can trigger regulatory or legal action. All CBD products must accurately display their ingredients (including THC content) and cannot make unsubstantiated health or wellness claims. German and EU consumer protection laws allow competitors and consumer associations to actively police the market it is common for rival businesses or watchdog groups to sue over improper labeling or advertising. For instance, if CWE was to suggest on its packaging that CBD oil "reduces anxiety" or "treats pain," this could be deemed an unauthorized medicinal claim, prompting cease-and-desist orders or even classification of that product as a medicine (rendering it unsellable without a license). Packaging must also comply with any upcoming standardization for cannabis-related items; although CBD is not psychoactive, regulators may still impose plain packaging or warning requirements by association with cannabis. CWE must invest in continual legal review of its product labels, descriptions, and website content to ensure compliance with evolving rules on health claims and product presentation.

Risks Related to Licensing and Medical Cannabis Overlap

Although CWE's focus is retail CBD, adjacent opportunities or activities like high-CBD medical cannabis or distribution of prescription CBD products would trigger stringent licensing requirements. Under the CanG and existing medicine laws, any handling of cannabis designated for medical use (even if it is CBD-dominant) requires obtaining permits from BfArM and the state health authorities. Wholesale trading or importing medical-grade CBD oils, for example, is tightly controlled via pharmaceutical regulations. The uncertainty here is twofold: first, regulatory obligations could change, the 2024 reforms removed the prior state-monopoly tender system for cultivation, potentially opening the field, but future governments might alter licensing rules or quotas. Second, even with stable rules, the process of securing and maintaining licenses is complex. Any real or perceived compliance deficiencies could lead to license suspension or revocation, halting that line of business. In essence, expanding into the medical cannabis arena introduces regulatory hurdles and uncertainty far beyond those of general retail, and even an inadvertent overlap (such as selling a product that regulators deem a medicine or a controlled substance) could subject CWE to a much more regulated regime.

Securities Regulatory Authorities and CSE Policies Regarding Business Activities

The Canadian securities regulatory authorities have not currently provided specific advice regarding issuers involved in the distribution and retail sale of hemp-derived and CBD products in Germany and the EU, such as the products that CWE offers. As such, CWE believes that a disclosure-based approach remains appropriate. There can be no assurance that heightened scrutiny will not in turn lead to the imposition of certain restrictions on CWE's ability to invest in Germany or any other jurisdiction. The CSE has stated that it is supportive of entrepreneurial issuers that operate in a rapidly evolving legal frameworks provided that the issuers offer appropriate risk disclosure and demonstrate that they are operating in accordance with applicable laws. It is possible that CWE may become subject to increased scrutiny by the securities regulators and/or the CSE as a result of its business, which may have a detrimental effect on the financial results of CWE.

Risks Related to the CBD Industry in Germany and EU

Risks Related to Import/Export and Intra-EU Trade Challenges

CWE is exposed to legal and operational risks arising from divergent regulatory approaches across EU Member States with respect to CBD products. While the EU internal market theoretically allows for the free movement of goods, CBD products remain subject to inconsistent national enforcement. In particular, the classification of CBD flowers, oils, and other hemp-derived goods may differ substantially between jurisdictions. For example, in 2022, the German Federal Court of Justice ruled that such products—despite their lawful status in the exporting state—could be treated as narcotics under German law if they pose a theoretical risk of misuse for intoxication¹⁹. The Court also concluded that EU free movement protections under Articles 34–36 TFEU did not apply under those circumstances. This precedent highlights CWE's exposure to customs seizures, criminal inquiries, or administrative sanctions when transporting or importing CBD products, even where such goods comply with applicable rules in the jurisdiction of origin. The regulatory risk is heightened in cases involving shipments from non-EU jurisdictions, where customs authorities may demand detailed certificates of origin, certified THC analyses, and proof of compliance with local narcotics exemptions or agricultural licensing rules. As a result, CWE's ability to engage in cross-border trade in hemp-derived goods is subject to legal uncertainty, operational delay, and risk of inventory loss.

¹⁹ Bundesgerichtshof (BGH), Beschluss vom 23. Juni 2022 – 5 StR 490/21 (LG Berlin) (holding that low-THC CBD flowers may qualify as narcotics under the German Narcotics Act where misuse for intoxication purposes cannot be excluded, and that EU free movement is not infringed even assuming the flowers were legally produced in Spain), online: https://www.hrr-strafrecht.de/hrr/5/21/5-490-21.php (accessed December 31, 2025).

Risk Related to the EU Novel Food Classification of CBD

CWE's CBD ingestible products are also subject to the EU Novel Food Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2015/2283), which governs the marketing of food ingredients not significantly consumed in the EU prior to May 15, 1997. Since 2019, cannabinoids including CBD have been listed in the EU Novel Food Catalogue as requiring prior authorization. As of the date of this Circular, no cannabidiol-containing food or supplement has been approved under this framework. The EFSA suspended its safety assessment of CBD in June 2022, citing data gaps regarding hepatotoxicity, reproductive safety, and potential drug interactions. As a result, all ingestible CBD products intended for human consumption—such as oils, capsules, or beverages—are considered non-compliant in the absence of a successful Novel Food application. While enforcement practices vary by Member State, German authorities have regularly reiterated that orally consumed CBD products are not marketable without EU-level approval. Accordingly, CWE's CBD ingestible offerings face heightened enforcement risk, including regulatory takedown, fines, and consumer complaints. In addition, competitors may pursue unfair competition claims under the German Unfair Competition Act (UWG), on the grounds that marketing unapproved Novel Foods constitutes an illegal commercial practice. The Novel Food application process is lengthy, scientifically demanding, and costly, posing a significant compliance barrier. Unless and until a legally valid approval is obtained or regulatory policy evolves, CWE's ability to sell ingestible CBD products within Germany and the EU will remain constrained by significant legal and commercial uncertainty.

Unfavorable Publicity or Consumer Protection

The success of the hemp-derived and CBD products retail industry may be significantly influenced by the public's perception of hemp and CBD applications. Hemp and CBD remain topic of debate, and there is no guarantee that future scientific research, publicity, regulations, medical opinion, and/or public opinion relating to hemp and CBD-based products will be favorable. The European hemp and CBD industry is an early-stage industry that is constantly evolving, with no guarantee of viability. The market for hemp-derived and CBD products is uncertain, and any adverse or negative publicity, scientific research, limiting regulations, medical opinion and public opinion relating to the consumption of hemp-derived or CBD products may have a material adverse effect on CWE's operational results, consumer base and financial results.

Furthermore, there can be no assurance that future scientific research, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other research findings or publicity will be favorable to the market for German hemp-derived and CBD products or any particular product, or consistent with earlier publicity. Future research reports, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other publicity that are perceived as less favorable than, or that question, earlier research reports, findings or publicity could have a material adverse effect on the demand for CWE's products and the business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of CWE. CWE's dependence upon consumer perceptions means that adverse scientific research reports, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other publicity, whether or not accurate or with merit, could have a material adverse effect on CWE, the demand for CWE's products, and the business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of CWE. Further, adverse publicity reports or other media attention regarding the safety, efficacy and quality of hemp-derived and CBD products in general, or CWE's products specifically, or associating the consumption of hemp-derived and CBD products with illness or other negative effects or events, could have such a material adverse effect. Additionally, consumers may associate CWE's products with illegal psychoactive drugs, which are prohibited substances. Such adverse publicity reports or other media attention could arise even if the adverse effects associated with such products resulted from consumers' failure to consume such products appropriately or as directed.

Social Media

There has been a recent marked increase in the use of social media platforms and similar channels that provide individuals with access to a broad audience of consumers and other interested persons. The availability and impact of information on social media platforms is virtually immediate and many social media platforms publish user-generated content without filters or independent verification as to the accuracy of the content posted. Information posted about CWE may be adverse to CWE's interests or may be inaccurate, each of which may harm CWE's business, financial condition and results of operations.


Risks Related to Ownership of Securities of CWE

Dilution

CWE may have further product development expenditures as it proceeds to expand its market presence and distribution, develop its products or take advantage of opportunities for acquisitions, joint ventures or other business opportunities that may be presented to it. CWE may sell additional CWE Shares or other securities in the future to finance its operations or may issue additional CWE Shares or other securities as consideration for future acquisitions. CWE cannot predict the size or nature of future sales or issuances of securities or the effect, if any, that such future sales and issuances may have on the market price of CWE Shares. Sales or issuances of substantial numbers of CWE Shares, or the perception that such sales or issuances could occur, may adversely affect the future market price of CWE Shares and dilute each shareholder's equity position in CWE.

Market for Securities

There can be no assurance that an active or sustainable market for CWE Shares will continue to exist following completion of the Series B Transactions. Even if a market develops or continues, CWE Shares may be subject to significant price and volume volatility that is unrelated to CWE's operating performance, financial condition, or underlying asset values. The ability of the Resulting Issuer to raise additional equity financing in the future may be adversely affected by periods of low liquidity or depressed trading prices, which could result in significant dilution to shareholders or an inability to obtain financing on acceptable terms.

Securities of small-cap issuers, including companies operating in the consumer wellness, hemp, and CBD product sectors, often experience substantial fluctuations in market price due to factors outside of issuer control, such as general economic conditions, regulatory developments, investor sentiment, industry trends, and the availability of alternative investment opportunities. CWE Shares may be influenced by these external factors as well as broader market conditions affecting the CSE or comparable exchanges. There can be no assurance that the market price of CWE Shares will not decline, or that such volatility will not materially and adversely affect shareholder value.

Significant Shareholder

As of the date of this Circular, Jörn Follmer, Chairman of CWE is a direct owner of and exercises control or direction over approximately 15.3% of the issued and outstanding CWE Shares. As a result of the number of CWE Shares expected to be held by Mr. Follmer, he may be in a position to affect the governance and operations of CWE, including matters requiring approval of CWE Shareholders, such as the election of directors, change of control transactions and the determination of other significant corporate actions. There can also be no assurance that the interests of Mr. Follmer will align with the interests of CWE or CWE Shareholders, particularly in light of the other financial interests of Mr. Follmer, and Mr. Follmer will have the ability to influence certain actions that may not reflect the intent of CWE or align with the interests of CWE or CWE Shareholders. The ownership interest of Mr. Follmer could limit the price that investors may be willing to pay for CWE Shares.

Early-Stage Company

Market perception of early-stage companies may change, potentially affecting the value of investors' holdings and the ability of CWE to raise further funds through the issue of further CWE Shares or otherwise. The share price of publicly traded early-stage companies can be highly volatile. The value of CWE Shares may rise or fall and, in particular, the share price may be subject to sudden and large falls in value given the restricted marketability of CWE Shares.

Management Discretion as to the Application and Use of Available Funds

It is intended that the available funds will be used for the purposes described under the section titled "Description of CWE's Business – Principal Sources and Uses of Funds". CWE reserves the right to use the currently available funds for general business purposes not presently contemplated and deemed to be in the best interests of CWE and CWE Shareholders. As a result of the foregoing, the success of CWE may be substantially dependent upon the discretion and judgment of the Board and management team with respect to the application and allocation of available funds.

Absence of Operating History as a Public Company

Some of CWE's management and Board have limited experience operating a public company. To operate effectively, CWE may be required to continue to implement changes in certain aspects of its business, improve its information systems and develop, manage and train management level and other employees to comply with ongoing public company requirements. Failure to take such actions, or delay in implementation thereof, could adversely affect CWE's business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations and, more specifically, could result in regulatory penalties, market criticism or the imposition of cease trade orders in respect of CWE Shares.

  • I - 26 -

Dividend Policy

No dividends on CWE Shares have been paid by CWE to date. CWE anticipates that it will retain all earnings and other cash resources for the foreseeable future for the operation and development of its business. CWE does not intend to declare or pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of the Board after taking into account many factors, including CWE's operating results, financial condition and current and anticipated cash needs.

Potential Delay in Achieving or Failure to Achieve Publicly Announced Milestones

From time to time, CWE may announce the timing of certain events it expects to occur, such as the anticipated timing of opening new stores or introducing new products. These statements are forward-looking and are based on the best estimates of management at the time relating to the occurrence of such events. However, the actual timing of such events may differ from what has been publicly disclosed. The timing of such events may ultimately vary from what is publicly disclosed. These variations in timing may occur as a result of different events, having the effect of delaying the publicly announced timeline. CWE undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information or statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law. Any variation in the timing of previously announced milestones could have a material adverse effect on CWE's business plan, financial condition or operating results and the trading price of CWE Shares.

Future Sales of CWE Shares by Existing Shareholders

Sales of a large number of CWE Shares in the public markets, or the potential for such sales, could decrease the trading price of CWE Shares and could impair CWE's ability to raise capital through future sales of CWE Shares.

The Market Price of CWE Shares May be Volatile

Securities markets worldwide experience significant price and volume fluctuations. This market volatility, as well as the factors listed below, some of which are beyond CWE's control, could affect the market price of CWE Shares:

  • quarterly variations in CWE's results of operations and cash flows or the results of operations and cash flows of CWE's competitors;
  • CWE's failure to achieve actual operating results that meet or exceed guidance that CWE may have provided due to factors beyond its control, such as currency volatility and trading volumes;
  • future announcements concerning CWE or its competitors, including the announcement of acquisitions;
  • changes in government regulations or in the status of CWE's regulatory approvals or licensure;
  • public perceptions of risks associated with CWE's operations;
  • developments in CWE's industry; and
  • general economic, market and political conditions and other factors that may be unrelated to CWE's operating performance or the operating performance of its competitors.

Trading of Shares Through an Intermediary

While there is currently no CDS ban on the clearing of securities of issuers involved in the European CBD space, there can be no guarantee that this approach to regulation will continue in the future. If such a ban were to be implemented at a time when CWE Shares are listed on a stock exchange, it would have a material adverse effect on the ability of holders of CWE Shares to make and settle trades. In particular, CWE Shares would become highly illiquid until an alternative was implemented and investors would have no ability to effect a trade of CWE Shares through the facilities of the stock exchange.

If Securities or Industry Analysts Do Not Publish Research, or Publish Inaccurate or Unfavorable Research, About CWE's Business, the Price of CWE Shares and Trading Volume Could Decline

The trading market for CWE Shares depends, in part, on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about CWE, its business or CWE's competitors. If one or more of the analysts who cover CWE or its competitors downgrade the securities they cover or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about CWE's business, the price of CWE Shares would likely decline. In addition, if CWE's operating results fail to meet the forecasts of analysts, CWE's Share price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of CWE or fail to publish reports on CWE regularly, demand for CWE's Shares could decrease, which might cause the price of CWE Shares and trading volume to decline.

Risks Related to Business of CWE Generally

Reputational and Perceived-Association Risk with an External Public Figure

CWE's brand has historically been covered by media alongside a well-known activist and entrepreneur in the German hemp/cannabis space (the "External Public Figure"). The External Public Figure is not an officer, director, employee, contractor, promoter, control person, or advisor of CWE, and has no role in CWE's governance or day-to-day operations. Notwithstanding this lack of any legal or operational connection, the prominence of the External Public Figure, combined with ongoing public advocacy, past and/or pending legal matters, and frequent press and social-media references that mention CWE's trade name in proximity to that individual, creates a risk that investors, regulators, counterparties, consumers, media outlets, landlords, payment processors, insurers, and other stakeholders may perceive an association or attribute that individual's statements or activities to CWE.

This perceived-association risk can have material consequences even where no actual linkage exists. First, reputational risk: negative publicity, controversial activism, or adverse legal outcomes involving the External Public Figure may be misattributed to CWE; search-engine results, legacy photographs, headlines, and third-party posts can algorithmically amplify this misattribution, which CWE cannot fully prevent or promptly correct. Second, regulatory and enforcement risk: in jurisdictions with more conservative enforcement climates (including certain German states such as Bavaria), authorities may increase inspections or inquiries of businesses that are publicly conflated with controversial actors. Even if no violations are found and no proceedings are initiated against CWE, the costs of responding to inquiries, product testing, counsel, and potential temporary product holds can be significant, and inventory may expire while under review. Third, commercial risk: banks, payment service providers, insurers, logistics partners, landlords, franchise prospects, and suppliers may "de-risk" their exposure to the broader cannabis category based on headlines or perceived linkages, resulting in account closures, tighter underwriting, higher pricing, shortened payment terms, or facility non-renewals. Fourth, market and financing risk: investor sentiment may be adversely affected by renewed media cycles about the External Public Figure, potentially increasing share-price volatility, widening trading spreads, or reducing access to capital on acceptable terms. Fifth, legal risk: CWE may need to issue corrective communications, challenge misleading content, or defend itself against claims premised on an assumed connection. Such actions can be costly, may prolong media attention, and their outcomes are uncertain. Finally, operational risk: staff safety protocols, in-store policies, and customer-service resources may need to be augmented during heightened publicity, increasing overhead and diverting management attention.

CWE employs measures intended to mitigate these risks, such as clear disclosure of governance and ownership, brand-use guidelines, media and customer communications protocols, and partner due-diligence. However, CWE cannot assure that misperceptions will not arise or persist, that third-party platforms will promptly correct inaccurate content, that counterparties will not adjust their risk appetites based on external events, or that enforcement priorities in any state will not be influenced by public controversy unrelated to CWE. Accordingly, perceived association with an external public figure—despite the absence of any legal or operational relationship—could materially and adversely affect CWE's reputation, regulatory posture, commercial relationships, access to services and capital, operating results, and financial condition.

Limited Operating History

CWE has a limited history of operations and may be considered a start-up. As such, CWE is subject to many risks common to such enterprises, including undercapitalization, cash shortages, limitations with respect to personnel, financial and other resources and lack of revenues. There can be no assurance that CWE will be successful in achieving a return on CWE Shareholders' investment and the likelihood of success must be considered in light of its early stage of operations. CWE has a very limited history of earnings.

Because CWE has a limited operating history in an emerging area of business, potential investors should consider and evaluate its operating prospects considering the risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by early-stage companies in rapidly evolving markets. These risks may include:

  • risks that it may not have sufficient capital to achieve its growth strategy;
  • risks that it may not develop its product offerings in a manner that enables it to be profitable and meet its customers' requirements;
  • risks that its growth strategy may not be successful;
  • risks that fluctuations in its operating results will be significant relative to its revenues; and
  • risks relating to an evolving regulatory regime.

CWE's future growth will depend substantially on its ability to address these, and the other risks described in this section. If it does not successfully address these risks, its business may be significantly harmed.

  • I - 28 -

Difficult to Evaluate the Potential Success of CWE's Future Business

CWE's operations to date have been limited to organizing and staffing efforts, business planning, raising capital, conducting discovery and research activities, filing patent applications, and establishing arrangements with third parties to supply raw materials. Consequently, any predictions about CWE's future success or viability may not be as accurate as they could be if CWE had a longer operating history.

Becoming Subject to Public Company Costs

As a result of the Plan of Arrangement, CWE became a reporting issuer in the Provinces of British Columbia, Alberta and Quebec (and as of the Listing Date, Ontario). As such, CWE will incur significant additional legal, accounting and filing fees that are required to be paid by reporting issuers. Securities legislation requires companies to, among other things, adopt corporate governance and related practices, and to continuously prepare and disclose material information all of which significantly increase legal and financial compliance costs. CWE has significant costs associated with being a reporting issuer, which will likely increase if CWE is successful in obtaining a listing on a recognized stock exchange in Canada. CWE's ability to continue as a going concern will depend on positive cash flow, if any, from future operations and on its ability to raise additional funds through equity or debt financing. If CWE is unable to achieve the necessary results or raise or obtain funding to cover the costs of operating as a reporting issuer (and as a publicly traded company if it completes a listing), it may be forced to discontinue operations.

Lack of Profitability

CWE has a very limited track record of profitability, and may incur significant costs related to its business development. CWE's prior losses, combined with uncertain profitability prospects have had and may continue to have an adverse effect on CWE Shareholders' deficit and working capital, and CWE's future success is subject to significant uncertainty. It is extremely difficult to make accurate predictions and forecasts of CWE's finances and this is compounded by the fact that CWE operates in a nascent industry with a highly uncertain regulatory environment. Even if CWE succeeds in maintaining profitability, it may not be able to sustain it over the long term.

Reliance on Management and Board

CWE will need to expand and effectively manage its managerial, operational, financial, development and other resources in order to successfully pursue its business development and expansion efforts. At this stage of its corporate development, CWE has limited the establishment of extensive administrative and operating infrastructure. The success of CWE is currently dependent on the performance of its management team, which also relies on the advice and guidance of certain members of the Board, not all of whom are or will be bound by formal contractual employment agreements. CWE's success depends on its continued ability to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified people. The loss of the services of these persons would have a material adverse effect on CWE's business and prospects in the short term and could delay or prevent the commercialization of its products, and the business may be harmed as a result.

CWE may not be able to attract or retain qualified management and scientific personnel in the future due to the intense competition for qualified personnel with extensive management experience in such fields as business development, new store expansion, product development, regulations, finance, manufacturing, marketing, law, and investment. If CWE is not able to attract and retain the necessary personnel to accomplish its business objectives, the achievement of its development objectives, its ability to raise additional capital and its ability to implement its business strategy may be significantly reduced and could have a material adverse effect on CWE and its prospects.

No Assurance of Commercial Success

The successful commercialization of CWE's products will depend on many factors, including, CWE's ability to establish and maintain working partnerships with industry participants in order to market its products, CWE's ability to supply a sufficient amount of its products to meet market demand, and the number of competitors within each jurisdiction within which CWE may from time to time be engaged. There can be no assurance that CWE, or its industry partners will be successful in their respective efforts to develop and implement, or assist in developing and implementing, a commercialization strategy for CWE's products.

Difficult to Forecast

CWE must rely largely on its own market research to forecast sales as detailed forecasts are not generally obtainable from other sources at this early stage of the industry. A failure in the demand for its products to materialize as a result of competition, technological change, market acceptance or other factors could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of CWE.

  • I - 29 -

CWE's Operations Are Subject to Human Error

Despite efforts to attract and retain qualified personnel, as well as the retention of qualified consultants, to manage CWE's interests, and even when those efforts are successful, people are fallible and human error could result in significant uninsured losses to CWE. These could include loss or forfeiture of licenses, significant tax liabilities in connection with any tax planning effort CWE might undertake and legal claims for errors or mistakes by CWE personnel.

Dependence on Third-Party Suppliers and Availability of Raw Materials

CWE's hemp and CBD products are sourced from third-party manufacturers and suppliers in Germany and other EU jurisdictions. CWE's ability to maintain consistent product quality and meet customer demand depends on the ongoing availability of compliant hemp-derived raw materials. The hemp and CBD supply chain in Europe is sensitive to a variety of external factors, including regulatory changes, agricultural output, processing capacity, quality-control constraints, and shifts in market demand.

Any shortage of high-quality hemp biomass or other inputs, whether due to increased competition, changes in EU or German regulatory requirements, crop failures, supply-chain disruptions, or constraints on licensed processors, could materially affect CWE's ability to source products at commercially reasonable prices and in required volumes to meet the demand.

Although CWE works with multiple suppliers and continuously evaluates alternative sources of supply, there is no assurance that it will be able to secure replacement suppliers on terms that are comparable in cost, quality, compliance profile, and delivery timelines. Inability to obtain sufficient quantities of compliant hemp- or CBD-based products could lead to stockouts, reduced sales, reputational harm, and a material adverse effect on CWE's business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Changes in Capital and Operating Budgets

The quantum and timing of capital and operating expenditures may be dependent upon feedback from CWE's expansion initiatives. As CWE further expands its business, it is possible that results and circumstances may dictate a departure from the pre-existing budget. Further, CWE may, from time to time as opportunities arise, utilize part of its financial resources to participate in additional opportunities that arise and fit within CWE's business objectives, in order to create shareholder value.

Privacy and Data Regulation

CWE may be subject to federal, state and provincial data protection laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which it operates, such as laws and regulations that address privacy and data security. CWE may obtain health information from third parties, which are subject to privacy and security requirements under applicable laws. Depending on the facts and circumstances, CWE could be subject to significant civil, criminal, and administrative penalties if it obtains, uses, or discloses individually identifiable health information maintained by entities covered by applicable health and data protection laws in a manner that is not authorized or permitted by such laws.

Compliance with privacy and data protection laws and regulations could require CWE to contractually restrict its ability to collect, use and disclose data, or in some cases, impact its ability to operate in certain jurisdictions. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations could result in civil, criminal and administrative penalties, private litigation, or adverse publicity and could negatively affect CWE's operating results and business. Moreover, clinical trial subjects, employees and other individuals may limit CWE's ability to collect, use and disclose information collected. Claims that CWE has violated privacy rights, failed to comply with data protection laws, or otherwise breached obligations, could be expensive and time-consuming to defend and could result in adverse publicity that could harm CWE's business.

Insurance and Uninsured Risk

CWE intends to obtain insurance coverage to address the material risks to which it is exposed. There can be no guarantee that CWE will be able to obtain adequate insurance coverage in the future or obtain or maintain liability insurance on acceptable terms or with adequate coverage against all potential liabilities. Should such liabilities arise, they could reduce or eliminate any future profitability and result in increasing costs and a decline in the value of CWE Shares. The lack of, or insufficiency of, insurance coverage could adversely affect CWE's future cash flow and overall profitability.

Litigation

CWE may become party to litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Should any litigation in which CWE becomes involved be determined against CWE, such a decision could adversely affect CWE's ability to continue operating and the market price for CWE Shares may decline as a result. Even if CWE is involved in litigation and wins, litigation can redirect significant resources. Litigation may also create a negative perception of CWE's business.


CWE May Not Be Able to Accurately Predict Its Future Capital Needs

CWE may need to raise significant additional funds in order to support its growth, develop new or enhanced services and products, respond to competitive pressures, acquire or invest in complementary or competitive businesses or technologies, or take advantage of unanticipated opportunities. CWE anticipates that it may make substantial research and development expenditures for pre-clinical studies in the future. When the current funding has been expended, CWE may require and is planning for additional funding. If its financial resources are insufficient, it will require additional financing in order to meet its business objectives. In addition, certain estimates of future liquidity, including expected working capital to be generated from operations over the 12-month period following the Closing Date, are based on management assumptions regarding, among other things, revenue growth, gross margins, operating expenses and changes in working capital. Such estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to a number of risks and variables beyond CWE's control, including market conditions, competitive dynamics, cost pressures and the timing and success of operational initiatives. Actual results may differ materially from such estimates, and any shortfall in expected cash flows from operations could accelerate the need for additional financing.

Inability to Secure Future Financing

There can be no certainty that CWE will be able to secure further financing on terms favorable to CWE or at all. If CWE is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may not be able to move forward with its research and development and product development activities and fund critical general administrative expenses. CWE cannot be sure that this additional financing, if needed, will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Furthermore, any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants, which may limit its operating flexibility with respect to business matters. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms or at all, CWE may be unable to develop or enhance its services and products, take advantage of future opportunities, service its financial obligations as they become due, or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations.

Tax Matters

CWE's taxes will be affected by several factors, some of which are outside of its control, including the application and interpretation of the relevant tax laws and treaties. If CWE's filing position, application of tax incentives or similar "holidays" or benefits were to be challenged for any reason, this could have a material adverse effect on CWE's business, results of operations and financial condition.

CWE will be subject to routine tax audits by various tax authorities. Tax audits may result in additional tax, interest payments and penalties which would negatively affect CWE's financial condition and operating results. New laws and regulations or changes in tax rules and regulations or the interpretation of tax laws by the courts or the tax authorities may also have a substantial negative impact on CWE's business. There is no assurance that CWE's financial condition will not be materially adversely affected in the future due to such changes.

Management of Growth

CWE may be subject to growth-related risks including capacity constraints and pressure on its internal systems and controls. The ability of CWE to manage growth effectively will require it to continue to implement and improve its operational and financial systems and to expand, train and manage its consultant and employee base. The inability of CWE to deal with this growth may have a material adverse effect on CWE's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Product Liability, Operational Risk

As a potential manufacturer and distributor of products that could be ingested by humans, CWE faces an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims, regulatory action, and litigation if its products are alleged to have caused significant loss or injury. In addition, the manufacture of hemp and CBD derived products involve the risk of injury to consumers due to tampering by unauthorized third parties or product contamination. Previously unknown adverse reactions resulting from human consumption of CWE's products alone or in combination with other medications or substances could occur. CWE may be subject to various product liability claims, including, among others, that CWE's products caused injury or illness, include inadequate instructions for use or include inadequate warnings concerning possible side effects or interactions with other substances. A product liability claim or regulatory action against CWE could result in increased costs, could adversely affect CWE's reputation with its customers and consumers generally, and could have a material adverse effect on CWE's results of operations and financial condition.

  • I - 31 -

Conflicts of Interest

Certain of the prospective directors and officers of CWE also serve as directors and/or officers of other companies involved in the cannabis and life sciences industries and, consequently, there exists the possibility for such directors and officers to be in a position of conflict. CWE expects that any decision made by any of such directors and officers involving CWE will be made in accordance with their duties and obligations to deal fairly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of CWE and CWE Shareholders, but there can be no assurance in this regard. In addition, each of CWE's directors will be required to declare and refrain from voting on any matter in which such directors may have a conflict of interest or which is governed by the procedures set forth in the OBCA and any other applicable law. In the event that CWE's directors and officers are subject to conflicts of interest, there may be a material adverse effect on its business.

Disclosure and Internal Controls

Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by CWE in reports that it will be required to file with securities regulatory agencies is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance with respect to the reliability of financial reporting and financial statement preparation. CWE's failure to satisfy the requirements of applicable Securities Legislation on an ongoing, timely basis could result in the loss of investor confidence in the reliability of its financial statements, which in turn could harm its business and negatively impact the trading price of CWE Shares. In addition, any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm CWE's operating results or cause it to fail to meet its reporting obligations.

Global Financial Conditions

Global financial conditions continue to be characterized as volatile. In recent years, global markets have been adversely impacted by various credit crises and significant fluctuations in fuel and energy costs, metals prices, wars, inflation and pandemics. Many industries, including the hemp and CBD industries, have been impacted by these market conditions. Global financial conditions remain subject to sudden and rapid destabilizations in response to future events, as government authorities may have limited resources to respond to future crises. A continued or worsened slowdown in the financial markets or other economic conditions, including but not limited to consumer spending, employment rates, business conditions, inflation, fuel and energy costs, consumer debt levels, lack of available credit, the state of the financial markets, interest rates and tax rates, may adversely affect CWE's growth and prospects. Future crises may be precipitated by any number of causes, including natural disasters, geopolitical instability, changes to energy prices or sovereign defaults. If increased levels of volatility continue or in the event of a rapid destabilization of global economic conditions, it may result in a material adverse effect on the availability of credit, investor confidence, and general financial market liquidity, all of which may adversely affect CWE's business and the market price of CWE Shares.

Enforcement of Legal Rights

As some of the parties that CWE does business with operate outside of Canada, it may be deemed as operating in jurisdictions where its products are sold or where its partners operate. In the event of a dispute arising from CWE's operations, CWE may be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of foreign courts or may not be successful in subjecting foreign persons to the jurisdiction of courts in Canada. Similarly, if any of CWE's assets are located outside of Canada (including cash or receivables), investors may have difficulty collecting from CWE any judgments obtained in the Canadian courts and predicated on the civil liability provisions of securities provisions. CWE may also be hindered or prevented from enforcing its rights with respect to a governmental entity or instrumentality because of the doctrine of sovereign immunity.

Currency Exchange Rates

CWE's financial results are reported in Canadian dollars, while the majority of revenues and operating expenses associated with CWE's German operations are denominated in euros (€). As a result, fluctuations in exchange rates between the Canadian dollar and the euro may have a significant effect on CWE's reported financial position and operating results. An appreciation of the euro relative to the Canadian dollar could increase reported revenues and assets when translated for financial-reporting purposes, whereas a depreciation of the euro could reduce reported results and asset values.

Exchange-rate movements may also affect CWE's future cash flows, capital requirements, and the cost of goods and services sourced from or payable in foreign currencies. CWE does not currently employ formal hedging strategies to mitigate foreign-exchange exposure. Consequently, sustained volatility or depreciation of the euro relative to the Canadian dollar could have a material adverse effect on CWE's consolidated financial performance, cash flows, and overall financial condition.

  • I - 32 -

Repatriation of Funds.

CWE’s liquidity and ability to fund its operations, service debt, or pay dividends are significantly dependent on the receipt of funds from its German subsidiaries. Several factors could impede the flow of these funds:

  • German Capital Maintenance Rules: Under the German Limited Liability Companies Act (GmbHG) or the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG), as applicable, the German subsidiary is prohibited from making distributions to the Company if such distributions would cause the subsidiary’s net assets to fall below its registered share capital (Stammkapital).
  • Withholding Tax and Anti-Treaty Shopping Rules: While the Canada-Germany Income Tax Convention generally reduces withholding tax on dividends, the German tax authorities apply rigorous "anti-treaty shopping" and "substance" requirements. If the German authorities determine that CWE lacks sufficient business substance in Canada, or if the corporate structure is deemed to be primarily for tax advantage, a higher withholding tax rate (up to 25% plus a solidarity surcharge) may be applied. Such taxes would reduce the net amount of capital available to the Company.
  • Transfer Pricing and Audit Risks: Any movement of funds through management fees, intercompany loans, or intellectual property licensing is subject to strict transfer pricing scrutiny by both the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and the German Federal Central Tax Office (Bundeszentralamt für Steuern). Any successful challenge to these arrangements could result in significant tax reassessments, penalties, and interest, thereby reducing the funds available for repatriation.
  • Currency Fluctuations: CWE’s functional currency is the Canadian Dollar (CAD), while the German subsidiary operates in Euros (EUR). Significant volatility in the EUR/CAD exchange rate could result in a material reduction in the value of funds repatriated to Canada. CWE may not have adequate hedging strategies in place to mitigate this risk, which could adversely affect its financial results and cash position.
  • Insolvency and Creditor Protection: Under German law, directors of a German company have a fiduciary duty to ensure the company remains solvent. If the German subsidiary faces financial distress, directors may be personally liable if they authorize the repatriation of funds to the Canadian parent at the expense of local creditors. This may result in "trapped cash" that cannot be accessed by CWE even in times of urgent need.

The occurrence of any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Unanticipated Obstacles to Execution of the Business Plan

The execution of CWE's business plan, including the continued expansion and integration of CWE's European retail operations, is capital intensive and subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. CWE's ability to carry out its strategic initiatives will depend on the availability of sufficient financial resources, access to capital markets, and the ongoing performance of its operating subsidiaries. Adverse changes in economic conditions, investor sentiment, or market access could restrict CWE's ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms or at all. CWE continuously evaluates its strategic priorities and reserves the right to modify, delay, or reprioritize aspects of its business plan as management deems appropriate in response to market conditions, financing constraints, or regulatory developments. There can be no assurance that CWE will be successful in executing its current or modified business plans, or that it will achieve its operational, financial, or strategic objectives within the anticipated timeframe or budget.

Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

CWE had negative operating cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2025. While CWE generated revenues for the past several years, there is no assurance that sufficient revenues will be generated in the near future. As reflected in the audited consolidated financial statements of CWE for the year ended December 31, 2025 and the audited financial statements of CWE for the year ended December 31, 2024, which are incorporated by reference into this Circular, CWE's liquidity position remains limited and subject to ongoing funding requirements. As of December 31, 2025, CWE had a cash balance of approximately $643,261 (audited) and working capital deficit of $475,509. While it is expected that CWE has sufficient funds to achieve its business objectives for the next 12 months, CWE will require additional funding in order to continue advancing its business plan and continue establishing retail presence in Germany. These circumstances cast significant doubt as to CWE's ability to continue as a going concern.

  • I - 33 -

Forward-Looking Statements and Information May Prove Inaccurate

Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and information. By their nature, forward-looking statements and information involve numerous assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties, of both a general and specific nature, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements and information or contribute to the possibility that predictions, forecasts, or projections will prove to be materially inaccurate. Additional information on the risks, assumptions, and uncertainties is found in this Circular under the heading "Cautionary Note About Forward Looking Information" and in other sections of this Circular.

Ability to Introduce and Market New Products

CWE's future growth will depend on its ability to continue introducing and successfully marketing new hemp- and CBD-derived products within an evolving regulatory and competitive environment. CWE believes that demand for hemp and CBD wellness products will continue to expand in Germany and other European markets; however, there can be no assurance that such demand will develop as anticipated or that consumers will adopt or continue to use CWE's products at expected levels. If the market for hemp or CBD products declines, becomes oversaturated, or if CWE's products fail to achieve sufficient market acceptance, CWE may not be able to generate the revenue necessary to achieve or sustain profitability.

Even when product development and market entry are successful, CWE's ability to generate significant revenue will depend on consumer perception, product quality, pricing, brand recognition, and the effectiveness of its marketing and distribution strategies. Market acceptance of any new hemp- or CBD-based product will be influenced by a number of factors, including regulatory classification, permissible product claims, labeling requirements, competition from other established and emerging brands, and evolving consumer trends in health and wellness. Any factors that prevent or limit market acceptance of CWE's products could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, and operating results.

The hemp and CBD sector remains at a relatively early stage of development and continues to evolve as regulations, consumer preferences, and distribution models mature. Reliable market data for comparable operators are limited, and there are few established companies with proven business models that CWE can replicate or benchmark against. As a result, CWE's estimates regarding market size, growth potential, and revenue expectations may prove inaccurate, which could negatively affect its business performance and financial results.

Dependence on Third-Party Suppliers and Manufacturers

CWE has limited in-house production capability and relies on third-party suppliers and manufacturers for the sourcing, formulation, packaging, and distribution of its hemp- and CBD-based products. These third-party partners are responsible for ensuring that all products meet applicable quality, safety, and regulatory standards under German and EU consumer-product regulations, including requirements related to product composition, labeling, and good manufacturing practices. CWE's ability to maintain consistent product quality and availability depends on the continued performance and reliability of these independent suppliers and manufacturers.

There can be no assurance that such third parties will continue to meet CWE's quality standards, delivery schedules, or pricing expectations, or that they will not experience operational disruptions, regulatory inspections, or supply shortages. Any failure by a third-party supplier to comply with applicable regulatory standards, or any interruption in supply or increase in production costs, could negatively impact CWE's ability to deliver products to market, reduce gross margins, and harm its reputation. CWE's dependence on third parties for manufacturing and logistics may therefore adversely affect its profitability, operational flexibility, and competitive position within the European hemp and CBD market.

Reliance on Third-Party Distributors and Retail Partners

CWE distributes a portion of its hemp- and CBD-based products through third-party distributors, retail partners, and wholesale channels in addition to its own retail stores and online platform. The success of these distribution arrangements depends on the continued performance, commitment, and market reach of these third parties, many of which operate independently and may also distribute competing products.

If any significant distributor or retail partner were to reduce their promotional efforts, shift focus to competing brands, or terminate their relationship with CWE, sales volumes and revenue could be materially adversely affected. CWE's ability to expand its distribution network and attract additional retail and wholesale partners depends on factors largely outside of its control, including prevailing market demand, regulatory developments, and competitive pricing pressures. Dependence on independent third parties for product distribution may therefore limit CWE's ability to fully control its brand presentation, pricing, and market penetration, which could have a material adverse effect on its business and results of operations.

  • I - 34 -

Competition in the Hemp and CBD Industry

The hemp and CBD product industry in Germany and across Europe is highly competitive and is expected to become even more so as the regulatory landscape evolves. CWE competes with numerous established and emerging businesses offering a wide range of CBD and hemp-derived products through both physical retail and online channels. Many of these competitors may have greater financial resources, stronger brand recognition, more extensive distribution networks, and greater access to capital, allowing them to achieve economies of scale or invest more heavily in marketing and product development.

Competition in this sector is influenced by consumer preferences, evolving regulations, product quality, pricing, and brand reputation, as well as macroeconomic factors such as consumer confidence and disposable income. Even positive regulatory changes—such as the further liberalization of hemp and CBD laws in Germany or the EU—could attract new, well-capitalized entrants to the market, thereby increasing competitive pressures on CWE's operations and reducing its market share.

To remain competitive, CWE must continue investing in product innovation, marketing, customer engagement, and supply-chain efficiency. There can be no assurance that CWE will have the resources to sustain these efforts at a level comparable to larger competitors. Intensified competition could therefore materially and adversely affect CWE's business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Limited Intellectual Property Protection and Risk of Brand or Product Imitation

CWE's competitive position in the German hemp and CBD market depends primarily on its brand reputation, supplier relationships, and product quality rather than on proprietary technologies or patents. Except for its registered "Hanf.com" trademark, CWE does not currently hold any patents, registered designs, or other formal intellectual property protections related to its products, formulations, or retail operations. As a result, CWE may be at a competitive disadvantage compared to other market participants that have secured trademark portfolios, proprietary formulations, or protected product designs.

While CWE takes reasonable measures to maintain the confidentiality of its product formulations, supplier terms, and operational know-how, there is no assurance that competitors will not independently develop similar products, adopt comparable branding strategies, or otherwise replicate elements of CWE's business model. The absence of broader intellectual property protection increases the risk that other retailers or distributors could imitate CWE's product lines, packaging, or marketing approach, which could dilute the Hanf.com brand and negatively affect CWE's revenues and market position.

CWE's inability to prevent unauthorized use of its brand or trade secrets, or to enforce its limited intellectual property rights, could materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Risk of Infringing Third-Party Intellectual Property Rights

CWE's commercial success depends, in part, on its ability to market hemp and CBD-based products without infringing the intellectual property or proprietary rights of others. The hemp and CBD markets in Germany and the EU involve numerous established brands and private-label product lines, many of which may hold registered trademarks, trade dress, packaging designs, or proprietary formulations. Although CWE believes its operations and products are compliant with applicable intellectual property laws, it has not conducted a comprehensive review of potential third-party rights in all jurisdictions in which it operates.

There is a risk that other market participants could allege that CWE's branding, packaging, or product formulations infringe their intellectual property rights. Any such claim, whether or not successful, could result in significant legal costs, delays in product distribution, or the need to rebrand or reformulate products. Infringement claims could also result in injunctions, settlements, or damages awards that could materially and adversely affect CWE's business, financial condition, and reputation.

(2) Mr. Jaegermann's CWE Shares are owned by Zermatok Marketing Management and Financial Consulting Ltd., a company 100% owned by Mr. Jaegermann. (3) Mr. Jaegermann owns 800,000 CWE Advisory Warrants.

Other than as disclosed elsewhere in the Circular no person who was a Promoter of CWE within the last two years before the date of this Circular (i) received, or is expected to receive, anything of value directly or indirectly from CWE or a subsidiary; or (ii) sold, otherwise transferred, or is expected to sell or transfer any asset to CWE or a subsidiary.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND REGULATORY ACTIONS

Legal Proceedings

Except as disclosed below and except for material, or deemed to be material, legal proceedings required to be disclosed pursuant to NI 41-101, NI 51-102, or any other applicable securities law, rule or regulation, CWE is not, and has not been since the beginning of its most recently completed financial year ended December 31, 2025, a party to any material legal proceedings, nor, to the knowledge of CWE, are any of its properties or assets the subject matter of any material legal proceedings, and no such proceedings are known to be contemplated.

Ongoing Investigations Relating to German Regulations

CWE conducts operations through subsidiaries in Germany that retail hemp- and cannabinoid-based consumer products. German regulatory authorities apply a complex and evolving legal framework to such products, including the KCanG, food and feed regulations, and tobacco-related legislation, and enforcement practices may vary by jurisdiction and authority.

CWE maintains that the products sold by its subsidiaries are compliant with applicable German law, including applicable THC thresholds and product classification requirements, and are not intended or marketed for illicit or intoxicating use. However, German regulatory authorities may take a different view regarding the classification, permissible sale, or regulatory treatment of such products.

On May 7, 2024, a regulatory proceeding was initiated by the Hauptzollamt Nürnberg (Nuremberg Customs Office) against CWE Trading GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of CWE, and Alex Cerveny, managing director of certain CWE Subsidiaries, in connection with the interception of a shipment by a third-party parcel service provider in Nuremberg. The shipment, originating from one of CWE's suppliers from the Czech Republic and addressed to CWE Trading GmbH, contained industrial hemp flower products and was seized by customs authorities for further review. The proceeding relates to an alleged breach of the import prohibition under Section 34(1) No. 5 or No. 6 of the KCanG, in conjunction with Section 372(1) of the AO and Section 26 of StGB, which addresses incitement. The matter remains ongoing and is being processed by the competent tax authority in Bamberg. CWE has cooperated with the relevant authorities and intends to continue to do so. CWE has taken the position that the products in question did not constitute cannabis within the meaning of applicable law, none of its products exceed the permissible THC content threshold of 0.3% and therefore are not subject to regulation by the CanG. At this stage, no penalties or fines have been assessed and the potential financial impact, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated. No provision has been recorded in CWE's financial statements in respect of this matter.

Since January 2025, CWE Holding Europe GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of CWE, has been subject to two separate ongoing investigations by the Ingolstadt and Munich criminal investigation departments of Die Bayerische Polizei, state police force of the German state of Bavaria under the umbrella of the Bavarian Ministry of the Interior. The investigations allege violations of KCanG in connection with sales of cuttings by the stores operating under the Hanf.com brand within the catchment area of the particular Ingolstadt and Munich commissariats and also names Alex Cerveny, managing director

  • I - 36 -

of certain CWE Subsidiaries. CWE has cooperated with the relevant authorities and intends to continue to do so. At this stage, no penalties or fines have been assessed and the potential financial impact, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated. No provision has been recorded in CWE’s financial statements in respect of this matter.

On October 31, 2025, German law enforcement authorities conducted an inspection at a retail location operated by a subsidiary of CWE in Landshut, Germany, in connection with an investigation concerning the alleged unauthorized commercial sale of cannabis products and alleged regulatory violations under German food and tobacco legislation. The investigation currently names certain individuals, associated with a Subsidiary of CWE, as suspects. The investigation remains ongoing, and no criminal charges, administrative penalties, or fines have been imposed on CWE or CWE Subsidiaries as of the date of this Circular. Neither CWE nor its subsidiaries are currently named as criminal defendants. CWE remains confident in the legal basis upon which its products are offered for sale and intends to cooperate with, and where appropriate defend its position before, the relevant authorities.

In December 2025, the Munich Regional Court (Landgericht München I) partially upheld an appeal by CWE Holding Europe GmbH against a previously ordered asset freeze imposed in connection with ongoing cannabis-related investigations, which was commenced in May 2025. As a result, the court reduced the scope of the provisional asset seizure from approximately €200,097 to €16,230, ordering the release of the majority of frozen funds. While the Company does not currently expect this matter to have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, there can be no assurance that additional regulatory actions, penalties, product seizures, or operational restrictions will not arise in the future.

Regulatory actions

There are no: (a) penalties or sanctions imposed against CWE by a court relating to any provincial and territorial securities legislation or by a securities regulatory authority within the three years immediately preceding the date of this Circular; (b) other penalties or sanctions imposed by a court or regulatory body against CWE necessary for this Circular to contain full, true and plain disclosure of material facts relating to CWE; or (c) settlement agreements CWE entered into before a court relating provincial and territorial securities legislation or with a securities regulatory authority within the three years immediately preceding the date of this Circular.

  • J - 1 -

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

Upon completion of the Series B Transactions, the business of the Resulting Issuer will primarily consist of the business carried on by CWE, which is expected to represent the principal operating focus of the Resulting Issuer following completion of the transaction. While the Resulting Issuer intends to preserve Neural's existing intellectual property and research assets, management expects that the advancement of Neural's historical business will be secondary to the operations of CWE. The Resulting Issuer will evaluate strategic alternatives with respect to Neural's legacy business, which may include partnerships, licensing arrangements, asset sales, or other transactions, as and when appropriate. There can be no assurance that any such alternatives will be identified or successfully implemented.

Business Objectives and Significant Milestones

The Resulting Issuer expects to accomplish the following business objectives over the 12-month period following completion of the Series B Transactions, through its wholly owned subsidiaries in Germany:

Milestone Estimated timeframe from the Closing Date Budget
Open an additional three (3) franchise or owned locations in Germany. Target one store in each of August 2026, November 2026 and February 2027 $120,000^{(1)}
Continue to expand its B2B division and target to achieve at least 20% of its revenue to be derived from B2B segment by making additional investments to streamline shipping and fulfillment logistics, improve lead times and reduce redundant costs. Aim to achieve the revenue target by March 2027 $80,000
Aim to achieve at least 15% year-over-year revenue growth by increasing revenue in the same stores and establishing new stores, through undertaking in various new marketing initiatives. December 31, 2025^{(2)} $50,000
Secure a partnership, licensing agreement, or sale agreement relating to its psychedelic drug development business. December 31, 2025 Nil^{(3)}
TOTAL: $250,000

Notes:

(1) Given the capital light nature of the business model, especially those involving franchise rather than owned stores, the Resulting Issuer estimates that approximately €25,000 or $40,000 in additional capital is required to open each of the locations.

(2) Aim to achieve the growth for the calendar year 2025 relative to calendar year 2024.

(3) The Resulting Issuer expects that its internal resources, which are paid in the normal course through salaries and consulting fees, are sufficient to work towards achieving these milestones without additional external expenditures. If third-party compensation is required to achieve these milestones, the Resulting Issuer intends to negotiate and implement alternative arrangements to secure their participation without requiring additional cash. These arrangements may include, without limitation: the issuance of Resulting Issuer Shares in consideration for work, royalties, a share in the nutraceutical business, or securing funding from such third parties.

Other than as described in this Circular, there are no other significant events or milestones that must occur for the Resulting Issuer's business objectives to be accomplished. However, there is no guarantee that the Resulting Issuer will meet its business objectives or milestones described above within the specific time periods, within the estimated costs or at all. The Resulting Issuer also expects that as its retail footprint continues to expand, the expected economies of scale may help accelerate these milestones in a cost-effective manner. See the sections titled "Regulatory Framework" and "Risk Factors" in "Schedule I - Information Concerning CWE,".

Unallocated Working Capital $794 $710,794
Total Principal Uses $600,000 $1,060,000

Notes:

(1) Public company costs are comprised of the CSE maintenance fee of $12,000, transfer agent fee of $5,000 and newswire fee of $6,000. (2) Aggregate annual professional fees for the total amount of $22,600 are payable to FMICA pursuant to financial advisory consulting fees paid in normal course and directors and officers liability insurance of $46,200. (3) Sales and management fees are comprised of the consulting fee payable to John Ross, proposed CFO of the Resulting Issuer. (4) Net of finders fees of $40,000 in case minimum Concurrent Financing of $500,000 is completed and $80,000 in case maximum Concurrent Financing of $1,000,000 is completed. (5) The estimate of working capital expected to be generated from operations over the 12-month period following the Closing Date is based on management's internal projections and reflects a number of key assumptions, including: (i) revenue growth of approximately $10%$ on an annualized basis (approximately $2.5%$ per fiscal quarter), which is materially below the Resulting Issuer's historical growth rates of approximately $47%$ in fiscal 2025 and $65%$ in fiscal 2024; (ii) gross margins of approximately $40%$ , consistent with fiscal 2025; (iii) changes in current assets and liabilities consistent with projected levels of operating activity; and (iv) general and administrative expenses based on an internal budget for individual cost items, including modest increases to account for inflation and contingencies, and reflecting an anticipated normalization of certain non-recurring costs incurred in connection with the Resulting Issuer's transition to a public company. (6) Based on the assumptions described in note 5 above, management expects the Resulting Issuer to generate approximately $650,000 in working capital from operations over the 12-month period following the Closing Date. For purposes of determining available working capital under the Minimum and Maximum financing scenarios, such amount has been adjusted to reflect a risk-weighted outcome, using a realization factor of approximately 70%.

The above uses of available funds should be considered as estimates only. The Resulting Issuer may seek additional capital by way of debt or equity financing to finance its future business plans, including development, permitting and commercial launches of subsequent products. Notwithstanding the proposed sources and uses of available funds discussed above, there may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, a reallocation of funds may be necessary. Given this inherent risk and complexity surrounding the Resulting Issuer's business, it is difficult at this time to definitively estimate certain costs or the commensurate funds required to affect the planned undertakings of the Resulting Issuer. For these reasons, management considers it to be in the best interests of the Resulting Issuer and Resulting Issuer Shareholders to afford management a reasonable degree of flexibility as to how the Resulting Issuer's funds are deployed among the above uses or for other purposes, as the need may arise. If the Resulting Issuer secures additional funding following the completion of the


Series B Transactions, it may reallocate its available funds to pay certain deferred liabilities and ongoing operating expenses that it deems necessary to create shareholder value.

While Neural and CWE have been able to secure the necessary arrangements to fund its significant short-term nondiscretionary expenditures in the past including those for general corporate purposes, employee salaries, and contractual commitments relating to its expansion plans, additional shortages of funds may adversely impact its operations, timing of opening new stores and other milestones that the Resulting Issuer expects to achieve, ability to retain employees and contractors, secure contractual relationships to advance its business plans, and complete transactions that significantly affect the Resulting Issuer Shareholders. See section titled "Risk Factors".

DIVIDENDS OR DISTRIBUTIONS

There are no restrictions in the articles of the Resulting Issuer or otherwise that would restrict or prevent the payment of dividends or other distributions following completion of the Series B Transactions. However, the Resulting Issuer does not presently intend to declare or pay dividends on its shares in the foreseeable future, as it expects to retain available funds to support the operations and development of its business.

The declaration and payment of any future dividends or distributions will be at the discretion of the board of directors of the Resulting Issuer and will depend on a number of factors, including the Resulting Issuer's financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors that the board may consider relevant at the time.

ESCROWED SECURITIES

On the Effective Date of the Plan of Arrangement (May 23, 2023), certain persons who were considered "principals", as defined under Section 3.5(2) of NP 46-201, entered into the First Escrow Agreement, subjecting 12,233,478 Neural Shares to the resale restrictions under NP 46-201. Immediately prior to the Listing Date, 6,116,139 Neural Shares remained subject to resale restrictions under NP 46-201.

Effective on the Listing Date, the First Escrow Agreement was terminated and superseded by the Second Escrow Agreement, entered into between the Escrow Agent and certain persons who were previously subject to the First Escrow Agreement and persons considered Related Persons of Neural at Listing. The Second Escrow Agreement imposes more restrictive escrow provisions, aligning with obligations applicable to the Company at the Effective Date and Listing Date. All 6,116,139 Neural Shares previously escrowed under the First Escrow Agreement (which is set to conclude on May 23, 2026) became subject to the Second Escrow Agreement and will be released according to its schedule, which concludes three years from the Listing Date. The table below sets out the number of securities that are subject to escrow restrictions under the Second Escrow Agreement on the Closing Date on post-Consolidation basis:

Designation of Class Held in Escrow^{(1)} Number of Securities Percentage of Class^{(5)}
Resulting Issuer Shares^{(2)(4)} 110,429 0.13%
Resulting Issuer VP Warrants^{(2)} 300,000 0.64%
Resulting Issuer Settlement Warrants^{(2)} 1,198,226 2.56%

Notes:

(1) As Neural was classified as an emerging issuer pursuant to NP 46-201, securities will be released from escrow in stages over 36 months from the Listing Date, with 10% released immediately upon Listing and 15% released on the 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, and 36-month anniversaries of the Listing Date; (2) The remaining securities subject to escrow provisions of the Second Escrow Agreement will be released in equal increments on each of September 13, 2026; March 13, 2027; September 13, 2027; March 13, 2028) until fully released, in accordance with NP 46-201. (3) Percentage of class represents the percentage of all issued and outstanding Resulting Issuer Warrants as of the date of this Circular. (4) Net of 8,089,321 Neural Shares transferred from NSCI to certain principals and founders of CWE, pursuant to the provisions of the SIO Agreement described below.

Pursuant to Section 7.5(i) of the SIO Agreement, Neural agreed to arrange, in connection with the Series B Transactions, the delivery of 8,089,321 Neural Shares (on a pre-Consolidation basis) from existing shareholders of Neural to the former shareholders of CWE Newco C, on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective holdings. The purpose of this transfer was to provide for a previously determined business arrangement between Neural and CWE, aimed at equalizing the total aggregate consideration received by former CWE Shareholders in connection with the Series B Transactions. For greater certainty, the shareholders of CWE Newco C did not receive greater consideration than the shareholders of CWE Newco A and CWE Newco B, as the Neural Shares transferred to the shareholders of CWE Newco C were transferred pursuant to a business arrangement between Neural and CWE, aimed at equalizing the total aggregate consideration received by former CWE Shareholders in connection with the Series B Transactions. To satisfy this condition, immediately prior to the completion of the Series B Transactions, NSCI transferred 8,089,321 Neural Shares (previously subject to the First Escrow Agreement) to certain principals and founders of CWE, which, for greater clarity, were transferred pursuant to applicable rules under NP 46-201 governing permitted transfers of escrowed securities and were all made subject to the provisions of the Third Escrow Agreement.


Since closing of Series B Transactions constitutes a Fundamental Change, the Resulting Issuer will enter into the Third Escrow Agreement with the Escrow Agent. The table below sets out the number of securities who are subject to escrow restrictions under the Third Escrow Agreement on the Closing Date:

Securityholder Group Designation of Class Held in Escrow^{(1)} Number of Securities^{(4)} Percentage of Class^{(3)(4)}
Related Persons on Closing Date Resulting Issuer Shares 15,488,835 18.15%

Holders of Builder Shares who are not Related Persons on Closing Date^{(2)} Resulting Issuer Shares 15,604,922 18.29%
Resulting Issuer Replacement Warrants 204,948 0.44%

Notes:

(2) the CSE Policies require that Builder Shares be subject to escrow with releases scheduled at periods specified under NP 46-201, regardless whether the holder of the Builder Shares is a Related Person or not.

(3) Percentage of class for the Resulting Issuer Replacement Warrants and Resulting Issuer Advisory Warrants represents the percentage of all issued and outstanding Resulting Issuer Warrants as of the date of this Circular.

The following sets out details of the proposed directors and management of the Resulting Issuer: |

Ronnie Jaegermann, Proposed Chief Executive Officer and Director (Age 65)

Mr. Jaegermann is a venture capital and finance executive. In the course of his career in investment banking and international capital markets he led multiple businesses from start-up ventures to profitable companies that became acquisition targets. From 2014 to 2019, Mr. Jaegermann served as Chief Executive Officer and Head of Investment Banking Advisory at Aloni Haft Investment Banking Ltd., a Tel Aviv-based boutique investment bank focused on raising capital for Israeli companies in international markets. After leaving Aloni Haft, he was a Venture Partner at Beyond-Ventures, an Israeli venture capital


and investment advisory firm, from September 2019 to November 2020. In 2020, Mr. Jaegermann founded Exiteam Capital Partners Ltd., an Israeli venture capital and advisory firm focused on guiding Israeli tech companies to listings on Canadian stock exchanges, and he continues to serve as a Founder and Venture Partner at Exiteam.

Earlier in his career, between November 2012 and October 2013, Mr. Jaegermann was the Chief Executive Officer of JNH International Ltd., a company that manufactured and sold Disney-licensed children’s furniture and bedding. From 1998 to 2009, he was the Chief Executive Officer and a director of several Israeli technology companies that were listed on the London AIM market and other European stock exchanges. Over his career, Mr. Jaegermann has been involved in more than 15 initial public offerings of Israeli companies, helping to raise a total of over $200 million in financing. Mr. Jaegermann earned a B.A. in Economics and Political Science from Tel Aviv University in 1984.

In his capacity as Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Jaegermann is responsible for corporate strategy, capital markets and investor relations, and oversight of operations. Mr. Jaegermann also currently serves as the Chief Financial Officer of Cann-Is Capital Corp. (TSX-V), a capital pool company, and sits on the board of directors of Water Ways Technologies Inc. (TSX-V), Seegnal Inc. (formerly, Reem Capital Corp.) (TSX-V), and Adcore Inc. (TSX).

To the best of Mr. Jaegermann's knowledge, (i) at the time of his involvement with his previous roles, none of such companies were affiliates of the Resulting Issuer, and (ii) as of the date hereof, all of such companies are still carrying on their respective businesses other than JNH International Ltd., which was sold and ceased operations.

Mr. Jaegermann does not work full-time for CWE and will not work full-time for the Resulting Issuer, but will dedicate the necessary time to fulfill his duties as a Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Resulting Issuer. He currently devotes 25% of his available time to CWE’s affairs and anticipates devoting approximately 25% of his available time to Resulting Issuer’s affairs. Mr. Jaegermann is an independent contractor of CWE and will be an independent contractor of the Resulting Issuer upon completion of Series B Transactions. Upon appointment of as director of the Resulting Issuer Mr. Jaegermann is expected to enter into an indemnity agreement with the Resulting Issuer that will include non-disclosure and non-disparagement provisions. He has not entered into a non-competition agreement with Neural or CWE and is not expected to enter into one with the Resulting Issuer.

Jörn Follmer, Proposed Chairman of the Resulting Issuer Board (Age 60)

Mr. Follmer is a entrepreneur with experience in capital markets. Notably, he sold one of his ventures to a NASDAQ-listed firm in 1999 and built up another company that he took public on the Deutsche Börse’s General Standard exchange in 2005. In 2008 he transitioned into investment banking and, as an official listing partner of various stock exchanges, has since helped take more than 40 companies public. Mr. Follmer’s background also includes serving on the boards of several publicly listed companies in Europe. He studied business administration in Germany at Universität Bamberg and earned his M.B.A. degree from Texas Christian University in 1991.

Eran Ovadya (Chair) Yes Yes
Jörn J. Follmer Yes Yes
Aaron Meckler No^{(3)} Yes

Notes:

(1) A member of the Resulting Issuer Audit Committee is "independent" if the member has no direct or indirect material relationship with the Resulting Issuer, which could, in the view of the Resulting Issuer Board, reasonably interfere with the exercise of a member's independent judgment.


(2) An individual is "financially literate" if he or she has the ability to read and understand a set of financial statements that present a breadth of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of the issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the Resulting Issuer's financial statements (3) Aaron Meckler is not considered independent within the meaning of NI52-110, as he served as CEO and CFO of the CWE from July 4, 2023 to November 19, 2024, and is deemed to have a material relationship with the Company as a former executive officer within the past three years

Information regarding the background, education and experience of the directors proposed to be elected at the Meeting, including those expected to serve on the audit committee of the Resulting Issuer, is set out under the heading "Particulars of the Matters to be Acted Upon – Election of Directors – New Slate" in this Circular, together with the related director biographies, which is incorporated by reference into this Schedule.

For a detailed description of the audit committee of Neural, oversight responsibilities, reliance on exemptions under NI 52-110, and historical audit fee disclosure, see the section of this Circular titled "Audit Committee", which is incorporated by reference into this Schedule.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Resulting Issuer believes that adopting and maintaining appropriate corporate governance practices is fundamental to effective oversight and the long-term success of the business. The Governance Guidelines of the CSA set out non-binding guidelines that issuers are encouraged to consider in developing their governance practices.

In certain cases, the governance practices of the Resulting Issuer will comply with the Governance Guidelines; however, the board of directors of the Resulting Issuer Board may determine that certain guidelines may not be appropriate for the Resulting Issuer at its current stage of development. The Resulting Issuer Board intends to review and evolve the Resulting Issuer's governance practices as its business, scale and operations develop following completion of the Series B Transactions.

The following disclosure is required by the Governance Guidelines and describes the Resulting Issuer's intended approach to governance, as well as the procedures, policies and practices that will be implemented upon completion of the Series B Transactions.

Board of Directors

Upon completion of the Series B Transactions, the Board is expected to consist of five (5) directors, being Jörn J. Follmer, Ronnie Jaegermann, Ian Campbell, Eran Ovadya, Aaron Meckler, the identities whom and their respective backgrounds are described elsewhere in this Circular.

In assessing independence for the purposes of Form 58-101F2, the Board will apply the criteria set out in NI 52-110, including whether a director has a "material relationship" with the Resulting Issuer that could reasonably be expected to interfere with the exercise of independent judgment. Under NI 52-110, an individual who is, or has been within the last three years, an employee or executive officer of the issuer is deemed to have a material relationship.

Based on this assessment, the Board expects to determine that two (2) directors are independent within the meaning of NI 58-101 (being Jörn Follmer and Eran Ovadya), and that three (3) directors are not independent (Ronnie Jaegermann, Ian Campbell, Aaron Meckler) by virtue of their current or prior executive roles or other material relationships with the Resulting Issuer or its subsidiaries.

Governance Policies, Orientation, Ethics and Board Practices

Upon completion of the Series B Transactions, the Resulting Issuer intends to adopt and continue to apply the corporate governance policies and practices currently in place at Neural, subject to such modifications as the Board may determine appropriate from time to time.

These policies and practices include procedures relating to director orientation and continuing education, ethical business conduct, the nomination of directors, conflicts of interest, disclosure obligations and informal performance assessments of the Board and its committees. While the Resulting Issuer does not expect to implement formal written policies in each of these areas immediately following closing, the Board believes that the adoption of Neural’s existing governance framework provides an appropriate foundation for governance at the Resulting Issuer’s current stage of development.

Directors and officers of the Resulting Issuer will be expected to conduct themselves ethically and in accordance with applicable laws and professional standards, including the avoidance of conflicts of interest, the protection and proper use of confidential information, and compliance with applicable securities laws.

For a description of the process by which compensation of directors and officers is determined, see the section entitled "Executive Compensation" in this Circular.

Board Committees

Upon completion of the Series B Transactions, the Board will have an Audit Committee comprised of three (3) members, the majority of whom are expected to be independent. Other standing committees of the Board, if any, may be established as determined appropriate by the Board from time to time.

Conflicts of Interest

There may from time to time be potential conflicts of interest to which some of the directors, officers, insiders and promoters of the Resulting Issuer will be subject in connection with the operations of the Resulting Issuer. Conflicts, if any, will be subject to the procedures and remedies provided for under the OBCA.

Assessments

# INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the shareholders CWE European Holdings Inc.

## Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of CWE European Holdings Inc. and its subsidiary companies (hereafter: the "Company"), which comprise the statements of financial position as of 31 December 2025 and the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, statements of shareholders' deficiency and cash flows for the year ended on 31 December 2025, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies (hereafter referred to as "Financial Statements").

In our opinion, the accompanying Financial Statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of 31 December 2025, and its financial performance, and its cash flow for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

## Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

## Emphasis of a Matter - Material Uncertainty Relating to Going Concern

As more fully described in Note 1, the Company has incurred losses since inception accumulated as of December 31, 2025, to $ 3,818,913.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the continued support from its shareholders, raising additional funds which is not guaranteed at this stage, securing financing resources and its ability to achieve profitable operations in the future addressed in the factors of the business plan designed by Management, forecasts and related key assumption, potential liquidity risks and cash flow projection.

All these factors indicates that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Financial Statements do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty regarding the values of the assets and liabilities and their classification that may be necessary should the Company not be able to continue operating as a going concern.

# Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the year ended 31 December 2025. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.

We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying financial statements.

## Key Audit Matter – Stock Base Payments

The Company uses stock-based payment with respect to services rendered by employees, directors and service providers.

Fair value measurement of the share-based payment, involve in certain estimates and industry economic parameters appropriate to the Company’s operations to and accordingly may affect the financial position of the Company.

To conclude, the appropriateness of measurement and disclosure made in the financial statements for share-based payments, we performed audit procedures which included among other:

1. Review the Company’s stock option plan and grant documents of stock options under this plan.
2. Examine the calculation made for fair value of the options, including the payments imputed in the pricing model.
3. Assess the amortization method for compensation based upon the vesting provisions in the granting documents.
4. Examine the adequacy of the disclosure in the financial statements regarding the Company’s financial position.

## Key Audit Matter - Inventory

As of December 31, 2025, the consolidated statement of financial position includes inventories in the amount of $1,969,326, as described in Notes 3 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements.

The carrying amount of inventories is material to the financial statements and involves significant management judgment and estimation uncertainty in determining both cost and net realizable value (“NRV”).

Inventories are measured at the lower cost and NRV. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method and includes costs incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their present location and condition. NRV represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

Due to the reliance on assumptions and estimates in determining NRV, including expected selling prices, costs to complete and sell, and inventory obsolescence, there is a risk that inventories may be overstated. Accordingly, this area required significant auditor judgment and was considered a key audit matter.

Our audit procedures included, among others:

---

(1) Evaluating the reasonableness of management's estimates, including key assumptions used in determining inventory cost and NRV, and assessing their consistency with historical data and market conditions.

(2) Performing substantive procedures on inventory balances, including testing physical count, cost components and comparing recorded costs to supporting documentation.

(3) Assessing whether inventory write-downs to NRV were appropriately identified and recorded.

(4) Evaluating the adequacy and completeness of the related disclosures in the financial statements.

## Other information included in the Company's 2025 Annual Report

Other information consists of the information included in the Company's 2025 Annual Report other than the Financial Statements and our auditor's report thereon. Management is responsible for the other information. The Company's 2025 Annual Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor's report.

Our opinion on the Financial Statements does not cover the other information and we will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

## Responsibilities of Management and those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements.

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the Financial Statements in accordance with IFRS, and for such internal control as Management determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the Financial Statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern as basis of accounting, unless Management and the Board of Directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease its operations, or has no realistic alternatives, but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

## Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Financial Statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

We also:

---

(1) Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

(2) Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.

(3) Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Company's Management.

(4) Conclude on the appropriateness of the Company's Management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

(5) Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with the Board of Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the Board of Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with the Board of Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so, would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

On April 8, 2025, the Company entered into agreements for services related to the placement of shares of $353,700, via the issuance of 2,947,500 CWE Shares. The cost of the shares was recognized as a cost of issuing shares. The CWE Shares were issued August 8, 2025. Related parties represented $186,300 of the services and received 1,552,500 CWE Shares, on the same market-based share value as other shareholders. See Note 12.

On April 8, 2025, the Company issued 3,052,500 CWE Shares, at a deemed value of $366,300 for services related to the placement of shares. The cost of the shares was recognized as a cost of issuing shares. The CWE Shares were issued August 8, 2025. Related parties held $326,700 of the services and received 2,722,500 CWE Shares, on the same market-based share value as other shareholders. See Note 12.

On August 8, 2025, the Company provided for the issuance of a further 1,937,600 shares, which were issued after December 31, 2025, for share placement services, at a deemed price of $232,512, on the same deemed price as other shareholders. The cost of the further share issuance was recognized as the cost of issuing shares. See Note 12.

On August 8, 2025, the Company issued 800,000 CWE Share purchase warrants, at a deemed value of $39,264, for services, to related parties. The cost of the warrants was recognized as a cost of issuing shares. The warrants have a $0.12 stock price and will expire two years after the go-public date. See Note 12.

CWE EUROPEAN HOLDINGS INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Year ended December 31, 2025
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

On August 18, 2025, Neural Therapeutics Inc. ("Neural") acquired a 30.75% interest in the Company via an exchange of 79,999,960 common shares in the capital of Neural ("Neural Shares") to former CWE shareholders, based on an agreed exchange ratio of 4 Neural Shares for each CWE Share previously held by such CWE shareholders, representing approximately 31.6% of issued and outstanding Neural Shares at the time of the purchase.

## Definitions

In these financial statements –

(1) The Company – CWE European Holdings Inc.
(2) The Group – CWE European Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries.
(3) Consolidated companies/subsidiaries – Companies, the financial statements of which are fully consolidated, directly or indirectly, with the financial statements of the Company.
(4) Related party – Within its meaning in IAS 24 (2009), “Related Party Disclosures”.

## Financial Position

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of a going concern which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on being able to raise the necessary funding to continue operations, through public equity, debt financings, joint arrangements and other contractual arrangements, or being able to operate profitably in the future. Until 2025, the Company has incurred losses since inception and as at December 31, 2025 has negative working capital of $475,509 (December 31, 2024 – negative working capital of $164,405), and an accumulated loss of $3,818,913. While the Company reported a profit in 2024, it does not have a significant history of profitable operations. There is no assurance that additional funding will be available on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to the Company. If the Company is unable to obtain sufficient funding, the ability of the Company to meet its obligations as they come due and, accordingly, the appropriateness of the use of accounting principles as a going concern will be in doubt. These uncertainties may cast significant doubt upon the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

As part of their ongoing responsibilities, the Company's Board of Directors and Management have undertaken a thorough review of the Company's cash flow forecast and potential liquidity risks. Forecasts of operating results and cash flow projections were prepared for the period of 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. According to such projections, the Company's Board of Directors and Management believe that the Company has sufficient resources for the continuation of its research and development activities and to meet its obligations for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements.

These financial statements do not reflect adjustments that would be necessary if the going concern assumption were not appropriate. If the going concern basis was not appropriate for these financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary to the carrying amount of assets, the reported expenses, and the balance sheet classifications used.

The Company's operations are dependent upon certain key personnel including related parties.

## Statement of compliance

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and Interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC").

The consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue on April 10 2026 by the Board of Directors of the Company.

## Consolidated Financial Statements

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value, as explained in the accounting policies set out in Note 2.

Subsidiaries are those entities over which the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from their activities. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether a Company controls another entity.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company. When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies in line with those used by the parent company.

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Company and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Company. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary that does not result in a loss of control is accounted for as an equity transaction.

Inter-company balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from inter-company transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

These consolidated financial statements include accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries under control.

|   |  | Percentage  |   |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|   |  | 2025 | 2024  |
|  CWE European Holdings Inc. | Canada |  |   |
|  CWE Trading GmbH | Germany | 100 | 100  |
|  CWE Trading EINS GmbH | Germany | 100 | 100  |
|  CWE Holding Europe GmbH | Germany | 100 | 100  |
|  DCI Cannabis Institut GmbH | Germany | 89.6 | 89.6  |

The Company has 100% ownership of all subsidiaries noted in the chart above, except for DCI Cannabis Institut GmbH, which is 89.6% owned by the Company.

## Measurement of non-controlling interests on the date of the business combination

Non-controlling interests that are instruments that give rise to a present ownership interest and entitle the holder to a share of net assets in the event of liquidation (for example: ordinary shares), are measured at the date of the business combination at either fair value, or at their proportionate interest in the identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree, on a transaction-by-transaction basis. This accounting policy choice does not apply to other instruments that meet the definition of non-controlling interests (for example: options to ordinary shares). Such instruments will be measured at fair value or in accordance with other relevant IFRSs.

## Allocation of profit or loss and other comprehensive income to the shareholders

Profit or loss and any part of other comprehensive income are allocated to the owners of the Company and the non-controlling interests. Total profit or loss and other comprehensive income is allocated to the owners of the Company and the non-controlling interests even if the result is a negative balance of non-controlling interests.

## Transactions with non-controlling interests, while retaining control

Transactions with non-controlling interests while retaining control are accounted for as equity transactions. Any difference between the consideration paid or received and the change in non-controlling interests is included in the owners' share in equity of the Company directly in retained earnings.

The amount of adjustment to non-controlling interests is calculated as follows:

For an increase in the holding rate, according to the proportionate share acquired from the balance of non-controlling interests in the consolidated financial statements prior to the transaction.

For a decrease in the holding rate, according to the proportionate share realized by the owners of the subsidiary in the net assets of the subsidiary, including goodwill.

## Use of Estimates, Judgments and Assumptions

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported expenses and other income during the period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The preparation of accounting estimates in the Company's financial statements requires that management of the Company makes assumptions regarding circumstances and events that involve considerable uncertainty. Company Management prepares the estimates on the basis of past experience, various facts, external circumstances, and reasonable assumptions according to the pertinent circumstances of each estimate, including judgments regarding going concern of the Company see in Note 1.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Significant assumptions about the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty that management has made at the end of the reporting period, that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the event that actual results differ from assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to, the following:

## Deferred tax assets

The recognition of deferred tax assets is based upon whether it is probable that sufficient and suitable taxable profits will be available in the future or whether taxable temporary differences will reverse such that deferred tax assets can be utilized. Recognition therefore involves a degree of estimation and judgement regarding the future financial performance or the timing of the reversed deferred tax liabilities where deferred tax assets have been recognized.

Provisions for taxes are made using the best estimate of the amount expected to be paid based on a qualitative assessment of all relevant factors. The Company reviews the adequacy of these provisions at the end of the reporting period. However, it is possible that at some future date an additional liability could result from audits by taxing authorities. Where the final outcome of these tax-related matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such differences will affect the tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

## Estimates of useful lives of property and equipment

Management's judgment involves consideration of intended use, industry trends and other factors in determining the expected useful lives of depreciable assets and determining depreciation methods.

## Leases

The Company applies judgment to determine the lease term for some lease contracts in which it is a lessee that includes renewal options. The assessment of whether the Company is reasonably certain to exercise such options will impact the lease term, which significantly impacts the amount of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets recognized.

## Determination of fair value

Preparation of the financial statements requires the Group to determine the fair value of certain assets and liabilities. When determining the fair value of an asset or liability, the Company uses observable market data as much as possible. There are three levels of fair value measurements in the fair value hierarchy that are based on the data used in the measurement, as follows:

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly

Level 3: inputs that are not based on observable market data.

## Measurement of variable consideration

In order to determine the transaction price, the Group estimates the amount of the variable consideration and recognizes revenue in an amount where there is a high probability that its inclusion will not result in a significant revenue reversal in the future after the uncertainty has been resolved.

As of December 31, 2025, and 2024 the fair value of variable elements relates to setup of the systems, training, being part of the brand, is considered immaterial for a separate measurement.

## Assessment of expected credit losses

When testing financial assets for impairment, the Group assesses whether the credit risk attributable to the financial asset has increased significantly since its initial recognition, and uses forward-looking information to measure expected credit losses.

## Classification of expenses recognized in the statement of income

Classification of expenses is recognized in the statement of income based on the function of the expense. This method of classification is appropriate for understanding the business of the Company.

## Operating Cycle

The operating cycle of the Company is one year. Thus, current assets and current liabilities include items the realization of which is intended and anticipated to take place within one year.

## Foreign Currency Translations

### Functional and presentation currencies

The consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in Canadian Dollars, the functional currency of the parent Company and the reporting currency of the Group.

Translation from Functional Currency to Presentation Currency by a subsidiary companies operates in Germany, whose functional and reporting currency is Euro, is performed as follow: (1) all assets and liabilities were translated using the closing exchange rate as of the balance sheet date; (2) equity items were translated using historical exchange rates; (3) items of comprehensive income/loss, unless this is not practicable to assess the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates; were translated at the average exchange of each

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

reported year; and (4) the resulting translation differences have been reported as foreign currencies translation adjustments within other comprehensive income/loss.

## Transactions, assets and liabilities in foreign currency

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are initially recognized in functional currency at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Following the initial recognition, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are remeasured to the functional currency at the exchange rate of each reporting date. Exchange rate differences are recognized in profit or loss.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency and measured at cost are measured at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency and measured at fair value are measured into the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined.

## Capital Management

The Company's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company's ability to continue to operate and to maintain a flexible capital structure which optimizes the costs of capital at an acceptable risk. The Company's capital is composed of its shareholders' equity and its liabilities.

The Company manages and adjusts its capital structure whenever changes to the risk characteristics of the underlying assets or changes in economic conditions occur. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may issue new shares or acquire, dispose of or jointly operate certain of its assets. In order to facilitate the management of its capital requirements, the Company actively monitors its liquidity and short and long-term funding requirements. There was no change to the Company's approach to capital management during the year.

Future financing is dependent upon market conditions and there can be no assurance the Company will be able to raise funds in the future should the need arise. The Company defines capital as shareholders equity plus the convertible debentures.

The Company manages its capital structure to maximize its financial flexibility by making adjustments to it in response to changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets and business opportunities. The Company does not presently utilize any quantitative measures to monitor its capital but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain the future development of the business.

The Company's objective when managing its capital is to maintain adequate levels of funding to support its operations and maintain the necessary corporate and administrative functions to facilitate these activities.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company (upon approval from its Board of Directors, as required) may issue additional capital, primarily through equity financing. The Board of Directors reviews and approves any material transaction out of the ordinary course of business, including major investments, as well as annual capital and operating budgets. The Company is not subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

Management reviews its capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable, see also Note 20.

## 2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

### Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash balances available for immediate use, not restricted and call deposits. Cash equivalents are considered as highly liquid investments, including unrestricted highly liquid investments and short-term bank deposits with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or with a maturity of more than three months, but which are redeemable on demand without penalty, and which form part of the Company's cash management. Short-term highly liquid investments (with original maturities of three months or less) consist of readily convertible into known amounts of cash and are exposed to insignificant risks of change in value.

### Revenue recognition

The Company generates revenue primarily from the sale of retail hemp and cannabidiol (CBD), primarily to customers in Germany.

Revenue for retail operations is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, when control of the goods is transferred to the customer and the collectability is reasonably assured. Payment is generally made with cash or credit card.

Revenue for sales to other businesses is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, net of discounts, when control of the goods is transferred to the customer and the collectability is reasonably assured. Payment is made under general commercial terms.

Fixed fee for franchisees arrangement paid to the Company in a relatively very short period, is recognized upon the parties to the contract have approved the contract and they are committed to satisfying the obligations attributable to them.

Fair value of variable elements relates to setup of the systems, training, being part of the brand, is considered immaterial for a separate measurement.

Royalty payment for franchisees is recognized upon it is probable that the royalty payment, to which the Company is entitled, is reasonably assured to be collected

### Financial instruments

#### Non-derivative financial assets

##### Initial recognition and measurement of financial assets

The Group initially recognizes trade receivables and debt instruments issued on the date that they are created. All other financial assets are recognized initially on the trade date at which the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset is initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of the financial asset. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price. Receivables originating from contract assets are initially measured at the carrying amount of the contract assets on the date classification was changed from contract asset to receivables.

##### Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights of the Group to the cash flows from the asset expire, or the Group transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows on the financial asset in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset were transferred. When the Group retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, it continues to recognize the financial asset.

##### Classification of financial assets into categories and the accounting treatment of each category

Financial assets are classified at initial recognition to one of the following measurement categories: amortized cost; fair value through other comprehensive income – investments in debt instruments; fair value through other comprehensive income – investments in equity instruments; or fair value through profit or loss.

Page | 17

CWE EUROPEAN HOLDINGS INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Year ended December 31, 2025
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

Financial assets are not reclassified in subsequent periods unless, and only if, the Group changes its business model for the management of financial debt assets, in which case the affected financial debt assets are reclassified at the beginning of the period following the change in the business model.

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated at fair value through profit or loss:

- It is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets so as to collect contractual cash flow; and
- The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise to cash flows representing solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding on specified dates.

A debt instrument is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated at fair value through profit or loss:

- It is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and
- The contractual terms of the debt instrument give rise to cash flows representing solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding on specified dates.

In certain cases, on initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Group irrevocably elects to present subsequent changes in the investment's fair value in other comprehensive income. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.

All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income as described above, as well as financial assets designated at fair value through profit or loss, are measured at fair value through profit or loss. On initial recognition, the Group designates financial assets at fair value through profit or loss if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

The Group has balances of trade and other receivables and deposits that are held within a business model whose objective is collecting contractual cash flows. The contractual cash flows of these financial assets represent solely payments of principal and interest that reflects consideration for the time value of money and the credit risk. Accordingly, these financial assets are measured at amortized cost.

## Assessment of the business model for debt assets

The Group assesses the objective of the business model within which the financial asset is held on the level of the portfolio, since this best reflects the manner by which the business is managed and information is provided to management. The following considerations are taken into account in the assessment of the Group's business model:

- The stated policies and objectives for the portfolio and the operation of those policies in practice. These include whether management's strategy focuses on earning contractual interest income, maintaining a particular interest rate profile, matching the duration of the financial assets to the duration of any related liabilities or expected cash outflows or realizing cash flows through the sale of the assets;
- How the performance of the business model and the financial assets within the model is evaluated and reported to the entity's key management people;
- The risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business model) and how those risks are managed;
- How managers of the business are compensated (for example, whether compensation is based on the fair value of the assets managed or the contractual cash flows collected); and
- The frequency, volume and timing of sales of financial assets in prior periods, the reasons for the sales and expectations about future sales activity.

Transfers of financial assets to third parties in transactions that do not qualify for derecognition are not considered sales for purposes of assessment of the business model, consistent with the Group's continuing recognition of those financial assets.

CWE EUROPEAN HOLDINGS INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Year ended December 31, 2025
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

Financial assets that are held for trading or are managed and whose performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, are measured at fair value through profit or loss.

## Assessment whether cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest

For the purpose of assessing whether the cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, 'principal' is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition. 'Interest' is defined as consideration for the time value of money, for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs, as well as a profit margin.

In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Group considers the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition. In making this assessment, the Group considers:

- Contingent events that would change the timing or amount of the cash flows;
- Terms that may change the stated interest rate, including variable interest;
- Extension or prepayment features; and
- Terms that limit the Group's claim to cash flows from specified assets (for example a non-recourse financial asset).

A prepayment feature is consistent with the solely payments of principal and interest criterion if the prepayment amount substantially represents unpaid amounts of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, which may include reasonable compensation, received or paid, for early termination of the contract. Additionally, for a financial asset acquired at a significant premium or discount compared to its contractual stated value, a feature that permits or requires prepayment at an amount that substantially represents the contractual stated value plus accrued (but unpaid) interest (which may also include reasonable additional compensation, received or paid, for early termination), is treated as consistent with this criterion if the fair value of the prepayment feature is insignificant at initial recognition.

## Subsequent measurement and gains and losses

### Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest income or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss (other than certain derivatives designated as hedging instruments).

### Investments in equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss, unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss.

### Financial assets at amortized cost

These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.

### Investments in debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

## Non-derivative financial liabilities

Page | 19

---

CWE EUROPEAN HOLDINGS INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Year ended December 31, 2025
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

Non-derivative financial liabilities include bank overdrafts, loans and borrowings from banks and others, marketable debt instruments, finance lease liabilities, and trade and other payables.

## Initial recognition of financial liabilities

The Group initially recognizes debt securities issued on the date that they originated. All other financial liabilities are recognized initially on the trade date at which the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

## Subsequent measurement of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities (other than financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are recognized initially at fair value less any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition these financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Financial liabilities are designated at fair value through profit or loss if the Group manages such liabilities and their performance is assessed based on their fair value in accordance with the Group's documented risk management strategy, providing that the designation is intended to prevent an accounting mismatch, or the liability is a combined instrument including an embedded derivative.

Transaction costs directly attributable to an expected issuance of an instrument that will be classified as a financial liability are recognized as an asset in the framework of deferred expenses in the statement of financial position. These transaction costs are deducted from the financial liability upon its initial recognition or are amortized as financing expenses in the statement of income when the issuance is no longer expected to occur.

## Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligation of the Group, as specified in the agreement, expires or when it is discharged or cancelled.

## Substantial modification in terms of debt instruments

An exchange of debt instruments having substantially different terms, is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. Furthermore, a substantial modification of the terms of an existing financial liability, or an exchange of debt instruments having substantially different terms between an existing borrower and lender, are accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability at fair value.

In such cases the entire difference between the amortized cost of the original financial liability and the fair value of the new financial liability is recognized in profit or loss as financing income or expense.

The terms are substantially different if the discounted present value of the cash flows according to the new terms, including any commissions paid, less any commissions received and discounted using the original effective interest rate, is different by at least ten percent from the discounted present value of the remaining cash flows of the original financial liability.

In addition to the aforesaid quantitative criterion, the Group examines, inter alia, whether there have also been changes in various economic parameters inherent in the exchanged debt instruments, therefore, as a rule, exchanges of CPI-linked debt instruments with unlinked instruments are considered exchanges with substantially different terms even if they do not meet the aforementioned quantitative criterion.

Upon the swap of debt instruments with equity instruments, equity instruments issued at the extinguishment and de-recognition of all or part of a liability, are a part of "consideration paid" for purposes of calculating the gain or loss from de-recognition of the financial liability.

The equity instruments are initially recognized at fair value, unless fair value cannot be reliably measured – in which case the issued instruments are measured at the fair value of the derecognized liability. Any difference between the amortized cost of the financial liability and the initial measurement amount of the equity instruments is recognized in profit or loss under financing income or expenses.

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

## Non-substantial modification in terms of debt instruments

In a non-substantial modification in terms (or exchange) of debt instruments, the new cash flows are discounted using the original effective interest rate, and the difference between the present value of the new financial liability and the present value of the original financial liability is recognized in profit or loss.

## Offset of financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group currently has a legal right to offset the amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.

The following table shows the classification of the Company's financial instruments:

|  Financial assets  |   |
| --- | --- |
|  Cash and cash equivalents | Amortized cost  |
|  Accounts receivables | Amortized cost  |
|  Other Accounts Receivable | Amortized cost  |
|  Loans to Shareholders | Amortized cost  |
|  Lease Deposits | Amortized cost  |
|  Financial liabilities  |   |
|  Bank overdraft | Amortized cost  |
|  Accounts payable and accruals | Amortized cost  |
|  Other Accounts Payable | Amortized cost  |
|  Short-Term Loans and Current Portion of Long-Term Deb | Amortized cost  |
|  Loans from Related Parties | Amortized cost  |

## Impairment of financial assets at amortized cost

The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are measured at amortized cost. At each reporting date, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on the financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition. If at the reporting date, the financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial asset at an amount equal to the twelve month expected credit losses. The Company shall recognize in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. The amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) that is required to adjust the loss allowance at the reporting date to the amount that is required to be recognized. As at December 31, 2025, the Company recognized a bad debts expense of $Nil in the consolidated statement of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2025 (2024 - $Nil).

The Group recognizes a provision for expected credit losses in respect of:

- Financial assets at amortized cost.
- Investment in debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income;
- Contract assets (as defined in IFRS 15); and
- Lease receivables.

The Group has elected to measure the provision for expected credit losses in respect of trade receivables, contract assets and lease receivables at an amount equal to the full lifetime credit losses of the instrument.

With respect to other debt assets, the Group measures the provision for expected credit losses at an amount equal to the full lifetime expected credit losses, other than the provisions hereunder that are measured at an amount equal to the 12-month expected credit losses:

CWE EUROPEAN HOLDINGS INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Year ended December 31, 2025
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

- Debt instruments that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date; and
- Other debt instruments and deposits, for which credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition.

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition, and when estimating expected credit losses, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available with no undue cost or effort. Such information includes quantitative and qualitative information, and an analysis, based on the Group's past experience and informed credit assessment, and it includes forward-looking information.

The Group assumes that the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition when contractual payments are past due for more than 30 days.

The Group considers a financial asset to be in default when:

- The borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Group in full; or
- The contractual payments of the financial asset are past due for more than 90 days.

The Group considers a debt instrument to have low credit risk when its credit risk rating is equivalent to the globally understood definition of 'investment grade'.

Lifetime expected credit losses are expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of the financial asset. 12-month expected credit losses are the expected credit losses that result from possible default events within the 12-month period after the reporting date. The maximum period considered when assessing expected credit losses is the maximum contractual period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk.

## Measurement of expected credit losses

Expected credit losses are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of the difference between the cash flows due to the Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive.

Expected credit losses are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.

## Credit-impaired financial assets

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost and debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income are credit-impaired. A financial asset is 'credit-impaired' when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.

Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following events:

- Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or borrower;
- A breach of contract such as a default or payments being past due;
- The restructuring of a loan or payment due to the Group on terms that the Group would not consider otherwise;
- It is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; or
- The disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties.

## Presentation of provision for expected credit losses in the statement of financial position

Provisions for expected credit losses of financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the financial assets.

For investments in debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income, the provision for expected credit losses is recognized in other comprehensive income and it does not reduce the carrying amount of the financial asset.

## Write-off

CWE EUROPEAN HOLDINGS INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Year ended December 31, 2025
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Group does not have reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset at its entirety or a portion thereof. This is usually the case when the Group determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that may generate sufficient cash flows for paying the amounts being written off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Group's procedures for recovery of amounts due. Write-off constitutes a de-recognition event.

## De-recognition

### Financial assets

The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to cash flows from the financial assets expire, or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all of the associated risks and rewards of ownership to another entity.

### Financial liabilities

The Company recognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire. The Company also recognizes financial liability when the terms of the liability are modified such that the terms and / or cash flows of the modified instrument are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.

Gains and losses on de-recognition are recognized in statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

The Company's financial instruments at December 31, 2025, consist as follows:

|   | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  Financial assets |  |  |   |
|  Cash & cash equivalents | $ 643,261 | $ – | $ –  |
|  Trade accounts receivable | – | – | 476,596  |
|  Other accounts receivable | – | – | 68,197  |
|  Loans to a Shareholder | – | – | 44,432  |
|  Lease Deposits | – | – | 238,824  |
|  Financial liabilities |  |  |   |
|  Bank Overdraft | $ – | $ – | $ 218,607  |
|  Trade accounts payable and accruals | – | – | 1,140,486  |
|  Other accounts payable and accruals | – | – | 1,433,487  |
|  Short-Term Loans and Current Portion of Long-Term Debt | – | – | 365,027  |
|  Loans from Related Parties | – | – | 143,727  |

Cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivables have been measured at fair value using Level 1 inputs.

The carrying value of accounts receivables, accounts payable and accruals, lease obligations and loans payable, approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments or their ability of prompt liquidation.

## Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares and share options are recognized as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.

Incremental costs directly attributable to an expected issuance of an instrument that will be classified as an equity instrument are recognized as an asset in deferred expenses in the statement of financial position. The costs are deducted from equity upon the initial recognition of the equity instruments or are amortized as financing expenses in the statement of income when the issuance is no longer expected to take place.

## Financing Income and Expenses

Financing income comprises interest income on funds invested, dividend income, gains on changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, foreign currency gains, net gains on disposal of an investment in a debt instrument measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, gains on hedging instruments that are recognized in profit or loss and the reclassification of net gains and losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income on cash flow hedges of foreign currency and interest rate risks for borrowings.

Financing expenses comprise interest expense on borrowings, changes in time value of provisions and deferred consideration, changes in the fair value of contingent consideration from a business combination, changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, net losses on disposal of an investment in a debt instrument measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, impairment losses on financial assets (other than losses on impairment of trade receivables, other receivables and contract assets that are presented in a separate item) and losses on hedging instruments that are recognized in profit or loss. Borrowing costs, which are not capitalized to qualifying assets, are recognized in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

In the statements of cash flows, interest received and dividends received are presented as part of cash flows from investing activities.

Foreign currency gains and losses on financial assets and financial liabilities are reported on a net basis as either financing income or financing expenses depending on whether foreign currency movements are in a net gain or net loss position.

Interest income or expense is recognized using the effective interest method. Generally, in calculating interest income and expense, the effective interest rate is applied to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset or to the amortized cost of the financial liability, as applicable. However, for credit-impaired financial assets that were purchased or created, or for financial assets that have become credit-impaired subsequent to initial recognition, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset.

## Inventory

Inventories are measured at the lower cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is based on the first-in first-out ("FIFO") method, and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and the costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

Inventories are written down to net realizable value when the cost of inventories is not estimated to be recoverable.

## Intangible assets

Intangible assets include software, licences and domains. Intangible assets are amortized over their useful life (software 3 years, licences 15 years, domain is indefinite).

Domains are not amortized due to the expected perpetual nature of the asset. The Company reviews domain assets for impairment annually. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset are reviewed annually and adjustments, where applicable, are made on a prospective basis. The carrying amount of these assets is reviewed whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable.

When there has been a significant adverse change, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to the highest of the present value of expected cash flows; the amount that could be realized by selling the asset; and the amount that could be realized by exercising the Company's right to any collateral held as security.

CWE EUROPEAN HOLDINGS INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Year ended December 31, 2025
(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

Expenditure, including that incurred in order to maintain an intangible assets current level of performance, is expensed as incurred.

## Property and equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost that includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment write-downs. These assets are depreciated over the estimated useful lives of each asset using straight line method, reflecting the expected consumption of its economic benefits.

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at the end of each reporting year and adjusted if appropriate.

Routine maintenance and minor repairs are expended as incurred.

Gains and losses on disposal of equipment are recognized within “other income” or “other expenses”, as applicable, in profit or loss statement.

The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

|   | Years  |
| --- | --- |
|  Leaseholds | Over the term of the lease (3 – 10 years)  |
|  Furniture and equipment | 3 – 9 years  |
|  Electric equipment and computers | 5 – 11 years  |
|  Vehicles | 4 – 9 years  |

## Impairment of non-financial assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its property and equipment to determine whether there is an indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the extent of the impairment charge is determined based on the estimated recoverable amount of the asset.

The recoverable amount of the asset used for this purpose is the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and the value in use. In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assignments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

If the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated to be less than its carrying value, the recorded amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment charge is recognized immediately in the statement of loss and comprehensive loss, unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, to a maximum amount equal to the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

## Provisions

Provisions are recorded when a present legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of past events where it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate of the amount of the obligation can be made.

The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the statement of financial position date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows. When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, the receivable is recognized as an asset when it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount receivable can be

measured reliably. There were no provisions recorded for the years presented in these consolidated financial statements.

## Income taxes

Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, in which case the income tax is also recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income.

Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted at the end of the reporting period, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are only offset if a legally enforceable right exists to offset the amounts and the Company intends to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Deferred tax is recognized in respect of all qualifying temporary differences arising between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax is determined on a non-discounted basis using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the deferred tax asset or liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that the assets can be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority.

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent future recovery is probable. At each reporting period end, deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable earnings will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.

Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed by Management at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it is probable that the deferred tax asset be utilized against future taxable income, allow the deferred income tax asset to be recovered.

As of December 31, 2025, Management believed that the deferred tax assets is not likely to be realizable against taxable income in the foreseeable future and therefore has provided a valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset.

## Warrants

Equity financing transactions may involve issuance of common shares units. A unit comprises a certain number of common shares and a certain number of share purchase warrants.

Proceeds received from the issuance of units, consisting of common shares and warrants, are allocated to common shares and warrants on a relative fair value basis whereby the common shares are valued based on the quoted market price of the common shares at the time the units are issued, and the share purchase warrants are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

## Leases

At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains a lease based on whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration.

In its assessment of whether an arrangement conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group assesses whether it has the following two rights throughout the lease term:

(a) The right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from use of the identified asset; and
(b) The right to direct the identified asset's use.

Contracts that award the Group control over the use of a leased asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration, are accounted for as leases. Upon initial recognition, the Group recognizes a liability at the present value of the balance of future lease payments (these payments do not include certain variable lease payments), and concurrently recognizes a right-

CWE EUROPEAN HOLDINGS INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

of-use asset at the same amount of the lease liability, adjusted for any prepaid or accrued lease payments, plus initial direct costs incurred in respect of the lease.

Since the interest rate implicit in the Group's leases is not readily determined, the incremental borrowing rate of the lessee is used. Subsequent to initial recognition, the right-of-use asset is accounted for using the cost model and depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or useful life of the asset.

The Group has elected to apply the practical expedient by which short-term leases of up to one year and/or leases in which the underlying asset has a low value, are accounted for such that lease payments are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis, over the lease term, without recognizing an asset and/or liability in the statement of financial position.

The lease term is the non-cancellable period of the lease plus periods covered by an extension or termination option if it is reasonably certain that the lessee will or will not exercise the option, respectively.

Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate are initially measured using the index or rate existing at the commencement of the lease and are included in the measurement of the lease liability. When the cash flows of future lease payments change as the result of a change in an index or a rate, the balance of the liability is adjusted against the right-of-use asset.

Other variable lease payments that are not included in the measurement of the lease liability are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which the event or condition that triggers payment occurs.

After lease commencement, a right-of-use asset is measured on a cost basis less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses and is adjusted for re-measurements of the lease liability. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the useful life or contractual lease period, whichever earlier, as follows:

- Right of use buildings 3 – 10 years
- Right of use other equipment 4 - 9 years

## Earning per common share

The Company presents basic and diluted loss per share data for its common shares, calculated by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The diluted loss per share calculation assumes that any proceeds from the exercise of dilutive stock options and warrants would be used to repurchase common shares at the average market price during the period, with the incremental number of shares being included in the denominator of the diluted loss per share calculation. Diluted loss per share does not adjust the loss attributable to common shareholders or the weighted average number of common shares outstanding when the effect is anti-dilutive. The Company's outstanding stock options and in the money warrants did not materially affect the earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

## New Accounting standards not yet adopted

IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

This standard replaces IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. The purpose of the standard is to provide improved structure and content to the financial statements, particularly the income statement. The standard includes new disclosure and presentation requirements that were taken from IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, with small changes.

As part of the new disclosure requirements, companies will be required to present two subtotals in the income statement: operating profit and profit before financing and taxes. Furthermore, for most companies, the results in the income statements will be classified into three categories: operating profit, profit from investments and profit from financing.

In addition to the changes in the structure of the income statements, the standard also includes

Page | 27

CWE EUROPEAN HOLDINGS INC.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

a requirement to provide separate disclosure in the financial statements regarding the use of management-defined performance measures (non-GAAP measures).

Furthermore, the standard adds specific guidance for aggregation and disaggregation of items in the financial statements and in the notes. The standard will encourage companies to avoid classifying items as 'other' (for example, other expenses), and using this classification will lead to additional disclosure requirements.

The standard is effective from annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with earlier application being permitted

The Company is examining the effects of the standard on its financial statements with no plans for early adoption.

## Unrecognized deferred tax assets

The Company has not recognized a deferred tax asset for losses carry forwards and temporary differences arising between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts, as it is not likely to be realized against taxable income in the foreseeable future, see Note 1.

## Carry-forward losses

The Canadian and German operating tax loss carry forwards expire as noted in the table below. The remaining deductible temporary differences may be carried forward indefinitely. Deferred tax assets have not been recognized in respect of these items because it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the group can utilize the benefits therefrom. As of December 31, 2025, the Group's operating tax losses carry forwards expire, as follows:

| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  Share price | $0.10 | $0.10 | $0.10  |

|  Expected life | 2 years | 2 years | 2 years  |
|  Dividend yield | 0% | 0% | 0%  |

## Fully Diluted Shares

The basic average shares outstanding in 2025 - 59,118,830 are not adjusted for warrants as the Company reported a loss and the warrants would be non-dilutive.

The basic average shares outstanding in 2024 - 54,686,572 are not adjusted for warrants as the warrants are currently not in the money and would not increase the fully diluted shares outstanding.

## 20. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, receivables from related parties, loans to shareholders, accounts payables and accruals, loans payable, loans from shareholders and loans from related parties. These financial instruments are exposed to certain risks, including credit risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and other market risk.

### Credit risk:

Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company's cash is held mainly through large Canadian and German financial institutions. The Company considers credit risk on its cash to be minimal.

The business primarily deals with products sold via the retail channel through Company-owned stores. The expected credit loss in this situation would be low due to the fact there are no receivables and sales are recorded once the product is sold and paid on the spot.

When determining the allowance for estimated credit losses the Company will consider historical experience with the customer, current market and industry conditions and any specific collection issues. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, the Company did not have any material overdue accounts besides the already identified specific credit risks, for which allowances had been built (see also Note 4 and 18).

### Liquidity risk:

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining cash and cash equivalent balances to ensure that it is able to meet its short term and long-term obligations as and when they fall due. Trades payable and accrued liabilities are due within the current operating period. The Company manages liquidity risk through the management of its capital structure as described in Notes 1 and 12.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company has a negative working capital of $475,509 (December 31, 2024 – negative working capital of $164,405).

### Market risk:

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity and equity prices.

### Interest Rate Risk:

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk from its secured loans and convertible debentures. The Company's interest rates on these loans are fixed and the sensitivity of the Company's loss before tax to a reasonably possible change in market interest rates is considered minimal.

### Other Market Risk:

Other market risk that the Company is exposed to includes currency risk. Currency risk is the risk of loss due to fluctuation of foreign exchange rates and the effects of these fluctuations on foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The Company is not exposed to significant currency risk as the parent entity and subsidiaries primarily transact in their functional currencies.

### Legal and Operational Risk:

The Company's business is subject to a variety of laws, regulations, and guidelines relating to the marketing, manufacturing, management, transportation, storage, sale, packaging and labeling, disposal and, if necessary, acquisition of hemp and CBD. The Company is subject to laws, regulations, and guidelines relating to health and safety, the conduct of operations,

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Expressed in Canadian Dollars)

taxation of products and the protection of the environment. As the laws, regulations and guidelines pertaining to the hemp and CBD industry are relatively new, it is possible that significant legislative amendments may still be enacted that address current or future regulatory issues or perceived inadequacies in the regulatory framework. It is also possible that laws that impact the Company's business may not develop as we expect or on the timeline, we expect, if and when it occurs. Changes to such laws, regulations, and guidelines may cause material adverse effects on the business, financial condition and operations.

The legislative framework pertaining to the German hemp and CBD market is subject to significant regulation. The legal framework and its interpretation and enforcement varies geographically and results in asymmetric regulatory and market environments. Different competitive pressures, additional compliance requirements, and other costs may limit our ability to participate in such markets.

The Company is exposed to risk related to its retail stores in Germany as a result of the legal framework in which it operates. Since 2019, the Company has been subjected to multiple stores raided by the local government, with products confiscated, resulting in the Company writing off the confiscated inventory (2021 - $12,955) and depressing its sales. There is no assurance that these raids will stop in the future.

CWE European Holdings Inc. | Management Discussion & Analysis – December 31, 2025

# Introduction

The following is Management’s Discussion & Analysis (the “MD&A”) of the consolidated financial position and results from operations of CWE European Holdings Inc. (the “Company” or “CWE”) for the year ended December 31, 2025. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for its years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, with accompanying notes to those statements for the years then ended.

The Company’s reporting currency is the Canadian dollar and all amounts in this MD&A are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated. The Company’s consolidated financial statements for its fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).

CWE through its subsidiaries in Germany, operates a network of specialty retail stores and an e-commerce platform under the “Hanf.com” brand, its product assortment includes CBD oils and topicals, cannabinoid-infused wellness products, hemp foods, seeds, pet products and accessories. CWE’s curated third-party brands are sourced only from EU-based vendors and are distributed across Germany.

CWE’s e-commerce platform generates recurring direct-to-consumer revenues and supports specialized microsites for in-house brands such as Hempodia, CBDios, and Mind Munchies. Complementing these channels, CWE is preparing to launch Hanf-Grossmarkt.com, a B2B wholesale portal designed to serve small-format retailers such as kiosks, gas stations and independent CBD shops.

CWE organizes its operations into three principal platforms: (1) retail platform; (2) e-commerce platform, and (3) wholesale distribution platform, each of which are briefly described below.

CWE European Holdings Inc. | Management Discussion & Analysis – December 31, 2025

(1) Retail Platform

CWE owns and franchises branded specialty stores with a Bavaria-first footprint and standardized merchandising and operating procedures. Each location carries more than 800 SKUs across CBD, CBG and CBN products, hemp foods and beverages, seeds, vaporizers and wellness items. Private-label products are a leading category contributor and, together with other cannabinoid products, represent a significant share of revenue. To accelerate network growth, CWE operates a capital-light franchise program. Franchisees receive site-selection support, two weeks of training in Munich, in-store launch assistance and periodic field visits; inventory is supplied via CWE’s centralized warehouse to maintain brand standards and purchasing leverage.

(2) E-Commerce Platform

CWE operates a national online retail storefront and is developing brand-specific microsites to support private-label lines and targeted consumer segments. As of May 2025, management estimates that online retail storefront generated average monthly direct-to-consumer revenue of approximately €55,000, with a returning-customer rate of approximately 31% to 37% and average order values of approximately €80. The digital plan emphasizes search-led customer acquisition, multi-site expansion for house brands and ongoing conversion optimization.

(3) Wholesale Platform

CWE expects to launch Hanf-Grossmarkt.com in 2026 as a B2B portal serving small-format retailers such as CBD shops, kiosks and service stations with curated SKUs fulfilled from CWE’s warehouse. The warehouse fulfilled B2B orders for Deutsche Cannabis Manufaktur from December 2024 through September 2025, providing access to DCM’s reseller base; management estimates online B2B revenue at approximately €100,000 per month on a run-rate basis. Currently, CWE began building an in-house B2B sales department to support direct wholesale distribution. Any THC-related activity will proceed only in accordance with applicable law and subject to the grant of required approvals.

## Liquidity and Capital Resources

### Cash and Working Capital

The following table sets forth a summary of the Company’s working capital position as of the dates presented:

|   | As at December 31, 2025 $ | As at December 31, 2024 $  |
| --- | --- | --- |
|  Cash | 643,261 | 489,238  |
|  Working capital (deficit) | (475,509) | (164,405)  |

The Company’s principal source of liquidity as of December 31, 2025 was cash of $643,261 (December 31, 2024 - $489,238) and receivables of $544,793 (December 31, 2024 - $330,754). The working capital at December 31, 2025 was mostly created by the increase in short term debts related to the inventory expansion in support of a new product line which was delayed and launched in 2026. Management may raise additional cash through a combination of equity, and financing arrangements, to leave the Company with sufficient funds to meet its obligations and short-term working capital requirements, and to accomplish its short-term plans. The Company plans to continue to monitor closely its use of its available cash.

The Company will require substantial additional capital to fund the continued growth and expansion of the business.

### Going concern

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared with the assumption that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business rather than through a process of forced liquidation. The Company's ability to continue in the normal course of operations is dependent on its ability to raise equity or debt financing or through the sale of its products at a profit. Since inception the Company has incurred losses which as of December 31, 2025 totaled $3,818,913. In addition, the Company had working capital deficit in the amount of $475,509 at December 31, 2025. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in achieving its goals. These circumstances cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as going concern and ultimately on the appropriateness of the use of the accounting principles applicable to a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments to amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue operations. These adjustments could be material.

### Other Assets (net)

|   | As at December 31, 2025 $ | As at December 31, 2024 $  |
| --- | --- | --- |
|  Lease Deposits | 238,824 | 163,423  |
|  Property and Equipment | 166,339 | 140,454  |
|  Right of Use Assets | 1,107,480 | 969,322  |
|  Intangible assets | 61,291 | 54,705  |
|   | 1,573,934 | 1,327,904  |

CWE European Holdings Inc. | Management Discussion & Analysis – December 31, 2025

---

Right of Use Assets (Leases) increased in 2025 as the Company expanded the number of locations. Other asset items were stable in 2025 and 2024.

## Liabilities

|   | As at December 31, 2025 $ | As at December 31, 2024 $  |

|  Total non-current liabilities | 984,012 | 729,187  |
|  Total liabilities | 4,661,333 | 2,702,120  |

In the year ended December 31, 2025, trade and other payables and accruals were steady, as trade payables were within reasonable commercial terms. Lease obligations increased slightly in 2025 with growth in store locations. The Company recorded a bank overdraft for the first time in 2025. Short term loans increased to fund operations. Expected sales increases and inventory reductions in 2026 should bring funds to reduce these liabilities.

There were no significant changes in the Company's approach to capital management in the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company is not currently subject to externally imposed capital requirements.

The Company's principal objective is a continuation of managed growth developing quality new business opportunities while maintaining high development standards. The Company is well positioned to capitalize on market opportunities and to meet increased competition through its experienced management and staff, coupled with its substantial capital and borrowing capacity. We continue to look for opportunities to introduce new product development.

CWE through its subsidiaries in Germany, operates a network of specialty retail stores and an e-commerce platform under the "Hanf.com" brand, its product assortment includes CBD oils and topicals, cannabinoid-infused wellness products, hemp foods, seeds, pet products and accessories. CWE's curated third-party brands are sourced only from EU-based vendors and are distributed across Germany.

CWE's e-commerce platform generates recurring direct-to-consumer revenues and supports specialized microsites for in-house brands such as Hempodia, CBDios, and Mind Munchies. Complementing these channels, CWE is preparing to launch Hanf-Grossmarkt.com, a B2B wholesale portal designed to serve small-format retailers such as kiosks, gas stations and independent CBD shops.

CWE organizes its operations into three principal platforms: (1) retail platform; (2) e-commerce platform, and (3) wholesale distribution platform, each of which are briefly described below.

(1) Retail Platform

CWE owns and franchises branded specialty stores with a Bavaria-first footprint and standardized merchandising and operating procedures. Each location carries more than 800 SKUs across CBD, CBG and CBN products, hemp foods and beverages, seeds, vaporizers and wellness items. Private-label products are a leading category contributor and, together with other cannabinoid products, represent a significant share of revenue. To accelerate network growth, CWE operates a capital-light franchise program. Franchisees receive site-selection support, two weeks of training in Munich, in-store launch assistance and periodic field visits; inventory is supplied via CWE’s centralized warehouse to maintain brand standards and purchasing leverage.

(2) E-Commerce Platform

CWE operates a national online retail storefront and is developing brand-specific microsites to support private-label lines and targeted consumer segments. As of May 2025, management estimates that online retail storefront generated average monthly direct-to-consumer revenue of approximately €55,000, with a returning-customer rate of approximately 31% to 37% and average order values of approximately €80. The digital plan emphasizes search-led customer acquisition, multi-site expansion for house brands and ongoing conversion optimization.

(3) Wholesale Platform

CWE expects to launch Hanf-Grossmarkt.com in 2026 as a B2B portal serving small-format retailers such as CBD shops, kiosks and service stations with curated SKUs fulfilled from CWE’s warehouse. The warehouse fulfilled B2B orders for Deutsche Cannabis Manufaktur from December 2024 through September 2025, providing access to DCM’s reseller base; management estimates online B2B revenue at approximately €100,000 per month on a run-rate basis. Currently, CWE began building an in-house B2B sales department to support direct wholesale distribution. Any THC-related activity will proceed only in accordance with applicable law and subject to the grant of required approvals.

## Liquidity and Capital Resources

## Cash and Working Capital

The following table sets forth a summary of the Company’s working capital position as of the dates presented:

|   | As at December 31, 2024 $ | As at December 31, 2023 $  |
| --- | --- | --- |
|  Cash | 489,238 | 228,356  |
|  Working capital (deficit) | (164,405) | (831,802)  |

The Company’s principal source of liquidity as of December 31, 2024 was cash of $489,238 (December 31, 2023 - $228,356) and receivables of $330,754 (December 31, 2023 - $481,165). The working capital at December 31, 2024 was mostly created by the increase in short term debts which are expected to mature either through additional sales or other corporate means during the 2025 period. Management may raise additional cash through a combination of equity, and financing arrangements, to leave the Company with sufficient funds to meet its obligations and short-term working capital requirements, and to accomplish its short-term plans. The Company plans to continue to monitor closely its use of its available cash.

The Company will require substantial additional capital to fund the continued growth and expansion of the business.

## Going concern

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared with the assumption that the Company will be able to

CWE European Holdings Inc. | Management Discussion & Analysis – December 31, 2024

---

realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business rather than through a process of forced liquidation. The Company's ability to continue in the normal course of operations is dependent on its ability to raise equity or debt financing or through the sale of its products at a profit. Since inception the Company has incurred losses which as of December 31, 2024 totaled $3,322,328. In addition, the Company had working capital deficit in the amount of $164,405 at December 31, 2024. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in achieving its goals. These circumstances cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as going concern and ultimately on the appropriateness of the use of the accounting principles applicable to a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments to amounts and classifications of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue operations. These adjustments could be material.

## Other Assets (net)

|   | As at December 31, 2024 $ | As at December 31, 2023 $  |

|  Intangible assets | 54,705 | 55,560  |
|   | 1,327,904 | 873,840  |

Right of Use Assets (Leases) increased in 2024 as the Company expanded the number of locations. Other asset items were stable in 2024 and 2023.

## Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This MD&A contains certain “forward-looking information” as defined in applicable securities laws (collectively referred to herein as “forward-looking statements”). These statements relate to future events or the Company’s future performance. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Often, but not always, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”, “expects”, “budgeted”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “continues”, “forecasts”, “projects”, “predicts”, “intends”, “anticipates” or “believes”, or variations of, or the negatives of, such words and phrases, or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “should”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved. The forward-looking statements in this MD&A speak only as of the date of this MD&A or the date specified in such statements.

Forward-looking statements are based upon certain assumptions and other important factors regarding present and future business strategies and the environment in which the Company will operate in the future, which could prove to be significantly incorrect. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements of the Company and/or its subsidiary to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

Actual results and developments are likely to differ, and may differ materially, from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this MD&A. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any of its future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements herein are qualified by this cautionary note. Accordingly,

readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information or future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law. If the Company does update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that it will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements, unless required by law.

This MD&A contains forward-looking statements with respect to Pool Safe under the headings “Business Update”, “Liquidity”, and “Outlook”. These forward-looking statements, by their nature, involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such statements, in particular, present financial market uncertainty. The Company has assumed that financing alternatives remain available, albeit with terms that are not as attractive as was the case prior to the current worldwide financial market uncertainty. The Company considers the assumptions on which these forward-looking statements are based to be reasonable at the time that they were prepared but cautions the reader that these assumptions regarding future events, many of which are beyond the control of management, may ultimately prove to be incorrect. Except as required by law, the Company does not intend, and assumes no obligation, to update the forward-looking statements contained herein.
