Explanatory Statement

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in relation to the business to be conducted at the General Meeting.

The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide Shareholders with all information known to the Company which is material to a decision on how to vote on the Resolutions in the accompanying Notice of General Meeting.

This Explanatory Statement should be read in conjunction with the Notice of General Meeting.

Capitalised terms in this Explanatory Statement are defined in the Glossary or otherwise in the Explanatory Statement.

1. Resolution 1: Ratification of issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares to Placement Participants

1.1

Placement

On 3 July 2020, the Company announced an offer to various investors in Australia identified by the Company ( Placement Participants ) to raise $500,000 through the issue of 100,000,000 Shares in the Company at an issue price of $0.005 per Share ( Placement Shares ). The Placement is proposed to be conducted in the tranches comprising the following:

  • Tranche 1 - a private placement of up to 32,250,000 Placement Shares to Placement Participants, at an issue price of $0.005 per Placement Share, issued pursuant to the Company’s “15%” placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 ( Tranche 1 Placement Shares ); and

  • Tranche 2 – a private placement of up to 67,750,000 Placement Shares to Placement Participants, at an issue price of $0.005 per Placement Share, subject to Shareholder approval of Resolution 2 ( Tranche 2 Placement Shares ),

together, the Placement .

Placement Shares issued under the Tranche 1 Placement were issued by the Company on 22 July 2020 using its issuing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1. Subsequent ratification of this issue by Shareholders is sought under Resolution 1.

1.2 Acquisition of rights to use proprietary cannabis strains for medicinal use in treating autism

The Company has entered into an agreement under which it has the right to acquire an exclusive worldwide licence to utilise proprietary cannabis strains from Dolce Cann Global Pty Ltd ( Dolce ) and its associates Dolce Cann Pty Ltd and Patrick Steve Calabria (together, the Vendors ) for medicinal use in treating neurological disorders including autism, epilepsy and ADHD ( Acquisition Agreement ).

$500,000

Total

1.4 Requirement for Shareholder approval

As described in Section 1.1 above, the Company has issued a total of 32,250,000 Tranche 1 Placement Shares under the Placement to the Placement Participants using its placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.

None of the Placement Participants are Related Parties of the Company.

Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution seeking approval by Shareholders of the ratification of the issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares does not fall within any of these exceptions and, as it has not yet been approved by the Company’s Shareholders, it effectively uses up part of the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, reducing the Company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1 for the 12 month period from the issue date of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares.

Listing Rule 7.4 allows the shareholders of a listed company to approve an issue of equity securities after it has been made or agreed to be made. If they do, the issue is taken to have been approved under Listing Rules 7.1 and so does not reduce the company’s capacity to issue further equity securities without shareholder approval under that rule.

The Company wishes to retain as much flexibility as possible to issue additional equity securities into the future without having to obtain Shareholder approval for such issues under Listing Rule 7.1.

To this end, Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of Tranche 1 Placement Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4.

If Resolution 1 is passed, the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be excluded in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively increasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

If Resolution 1 is not passed, the issue of the Tranche 1 Placement Shares will be included in calculating the Company’s 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1, effectively decreasing the number of equity securities it can issue without Shareholder approval over the 12 month period following the issue date.

1.5 Listing Rule information requirements

In accordance with the disclosure requirements of Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 1:

(a) Basis on which Placement Participants were identified

Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued to Placement Participants, being various investors identified by the Company and who are not Related Parties of the Company.

NEUROTECH INTERNATIONAL LIMITED – NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING AND EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

10

(b) The number of securities issued

32,250,000 Tranche 1 Placement Shares were issued to Placement Participants utilising the Company’s placement capacity pursuant to Listing Rule 7.1.

Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary Shares ranking equally with the Company’s existing Shares then on issue.

  • (c) The date on which the securities were issued

The Placement Shares were issued by the Company on 22 July 2020.

  • (d) The price at which the securities were issued

Placement Shares were issued to Placement Participants at an issue price of $0.005 per Placement Share.

(e) The use or intended use of the funds raised

The Company intends to use the funds from the issue of the Placement Shares for the purposes described in Section 1.2.

1.6 Directors’ recommendation – Resolution 1

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1 as it will refresh the Company’s issuing capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 and give the Company the flexibility to raise additional working capital through the offer and issue of equity securities, if and as required.

2. Approval to issue Tranche 2 Placement Shares to Placement Participants

2.1

Requirement for Shareholder approval

Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution seeking approval by Shareholders of the proposed issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares.

None of the Placement Participants will be Related Parties of the Company.

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The issue of Tranche 2 Placement Shares does not fall within any of these exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 2 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of Tranche 2 Placement Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 2 is passed the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Tranche 2 Placement Shares, increasing the total number of Shares on issue. In addition, Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 2 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Tranche 2 Placement Shares. In that scenario, Placement Participants will still be issued Tranche 1 Placement Shares under the Placement but will not receive Tranche 2 Placement Shares as they are conditional on Shareholder approval of Resolution 2. In this event, Placement Participants may view their investment in the Company unfavourably and may be less inclined to support the Company in its future endeavours.

NEUROTECH INTERNATIONAL LIMITED – NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING AND EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

11

2.2 Listing Rule information requirements

In accordance with the disclosure requirements of Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 2 for the purposes of obtaining approval under Listing Rule 7.1:

(a) Persons to whom the securities are to be issued

Tranche 2 Placement Shares are to be issued to the Placement Participants, being various investors identified by the Company and who are not Related Parties of the Company.

(b) The number of securities to be issued

The Company proposes to issue up to a total of 67,750,000 Tranche 2 Placement Shares.

  • (c)

The terms of the securities

Tranche 2 Placement Shares are fully paid ordinary shares that rank equally with all existing Shares on issue.

  • (d)

Dates of issue of Tranche 2 Placement Shares

If Resolution 2 is approved, the Tranche 2 Placement Shares are proposed to be issued within 5 Business Days after the Meeting and, in any event, within 3 (three) months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by the Listing Rules).

It is intended that the issue of all Tranche 2 Placement Shares will occur on one date.

  • (e) The price at which the securities will be issued

Tranche 2 Placement Shares will be issued at an issue price of $0.005 each.

  • (f) The use or intended use of the funds raised

The Company intends to use the funds from the issue of the Placement Shares for the purposes described in Section 1.2.

2.3 Directors’ recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2 as it will enable the Company to issue Tranche 2 Placement Shares to Placement Participants pursuant to the Placement and it will refresh the Company’s issuing capacities under Listing Rule 7.1 and give the Company the flexibility to raise additional working capital through the offer and issue of equity securities, if and as required.

3. Resolution 3 – Approval to issue Shares and Options to Dolce Cann Global Pty Ltd

3.1 Background to Resolution 3

The Company has entered into an agreement with Dolce Cann Global Pty Ltd ( Dolce ) and its associates Dolce Cann Pty Ltd and Patrick Steve Calabria (together, the Vendors ) pursuant to which the Company has the right to acquire an exclusive worldwide licence to utilise proprietary cannabis strains from Dolce for medicinal use in treating neurological disorders including autism, epilepsy and ADHD ( Acquisition Agreement ).

The primary purposes of the research would be to determine:

NEUROTECH INTERNATIONAL LIMITED – NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING AND EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

12

  • (a) the efficacy of the cannabis strains in treating autism (including utilising Mente to measure the progress and results during the trials); and

  • (b) whether the use of cannabis in treating autism when coupled with treatments via neurofeedback devices (specifically Mente) result in improved outcomes that are essentially ‘greater than the sum of the parts’ of simply cannabis or Mente alone.

Further information about the Company’s right to acquire an exclusive worldwide licence to utilise proprietary cannabis strains is set out in the Company’s announcement of ASX, released on 3 July 2020. A copy of which accompanies this Explanatory Statement ( Annexure A ).

3.2 Acquisition Agreement terms

The Company has agreed to acquire an exclusive worldwide licence to utilise Dolce’s proprietary cannabis strains (both existing and new variations as developed) for medicinal use in treating autism, epilepsy and ADHD ( Licence ) on the following basis:

  • (a) Payment of a non-refundable deposit of $50,000 to Dolce’s nominated bank account which has been paid.

  • (b) Expending $200,000 in accordance with an agreed budget.

  • (c) The Company obtaining standard rights of pre-emption and first rights of refusal in respect of Dolce’s cannabis strains and all intellectual property rights associated with those cannabis strains.

  • (d) In consideration for the Company acquiring the licence, Dolce or its nominees will be entitled to be issued the following securities by Company and grant of royalty as consideration:

  • (i) 33,000,000 fully paid ordinary Shares in the Company and 33,000,000 Options (exercisable at $0.01 each and expiring 31 January 2023);

  • (ii) 33,000,000 fully paid ordinary Shares in the Company upon successful stage 1 in-vitro assay assessments being completed;

  • (iii) 33,000,000 fully paid ordinary Shares in the Company upon successful stage 1 clinical trials being completed; and

  • (iv) Dolce (or nominees) will also be entitled to a 2.5% net sales royalty in respect of all sales which utilise the cannabis strains for neuro disorders.

If at any time after spending the $200,000 and issuing any of the Securities as per Sections 3.2(d)(i) to (iv) above, the Company elects not to pursue the project with continued funding and support, Dolce will have the right to buy back 100% of the project and all associated intellectual property by providing the Company with the royalty set out in Section 3.2(g) above. The royalty will be capped at $5,000,000 if the Company has not spent more than $1,000,000 in cash on the project before Dolce elects to buy back in accordance with this clause.

3.3 Requirement for Shareholder approval

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder approval to issue 33,000,000 Shares and 33,000,000 Options, exercisable at $0.01 each, expiring on 31 January 2023, to Dolce as consideration payable by the Company to Dolce for the Licence as described in paragraph 3.2(d)(i) above.

Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution seeking approval by Shareholders of the proposed issue of Securities to Dolce or its nominee(s).

None of the persons to whom Securities may be issued will be Related Parties of the Company.

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over

NEUROTECH INTERNATIONAL LIMITED – NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING AND EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

13

any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The issue of Securities does not fall within any of these exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 3 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of Securities under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 3 is passed the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Securities, increasing the total number of Shares and Options on issue. In addition, Securities will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 3 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Securities to Dolce or its nominee(s). In this scenario, the Company will not be able to acquire right to acquire an exclusive worldwide licence to utilise proprietary cannabis strains from Dolce pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement and the Company will lose a potentially important business opportunity.

3.4 Listing Rule information requirements

In accordance with the disclosure requirements of Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3:

(a) Persons to whom the securities are to be issued

Securities are to be issued to Dolce and/or its nominee(s) who are not Related Parties of the Company.

Options are exercisable at $0.01 each on or before 31 January 2023. The full terms of the Options are described in Schedule 1.

If exercised prior to expiry, the Options will become fully paid ordinary shares that rank equally with all existing Shares on issue.

(d)

If Resolution 3 is approved, the Securities are proposed to be issued within 5 Business Days after the Meeting and, in any event, within 3 (three) months after the date of the Meeting (or such later date as permitted by the Listing Rules).

If Options are exercised prior to expiry, the Company will raise up to $330,000 on receipt of the exercise price for the Options and the Company anticipates that it will use those funds for working capital purposes as required at that time.

(g) Material terms of acquisition agreement with the Vendors

The material terms described under the Acquisition Agreement are set out in Section 3.2.

3.5 Directors’ recommendation

4. Resolution 4 – Approval to issue Shares and Options to Crown Luggers Pty Ltd

4.1 Background

As consideration for arranging the acquisition of cannabis rights described in Section 3.2, the Company has agreed, subject to Shareholder approval of Resolution 4, to grant 5,000,000 Shares and 5,000,000 Options, exercisable at $0.01 on or before 31 January 2023 to Crown Luggers Pty Ltd (ACN 625 178 814) ( Crown Luggers ) or its nominee as a fee payable by the Company for Crown Luggers arranging the acquisition of the Licence between the Company and the Vendors referred to in Section 3.

4.2 Requirement for Shareholder approval

Resolution 4 seeks Shareholder approval to issue 5,000,000 Shares and 5,000,000 Options, exercisable at $0.01 each, expiring on 31 January 2023, to Crown Luggers.

Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution seeking approval by Shareholders of the proposed issue of Securities to Crown Luggers or Crown Lugger’s nominee(s).

None of the of the persons to whom the Securities may be issued will be a Related Party to the Company.

Broadly speaking, and subject to a number of exceptions, Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities that a listed company can issue without the approval of its shareholders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary shares it had on issue at the start of that period.

The issue of the Securities does not fall within any of these exceptions and exceeds the 15% limit in Listing Rule 7.1. It therefore requires approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 7.1.

Resolution 4 seeks the required Shareholder approval for the issue of the Securities under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

If Resolution 4 is passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Securities to Crown Luggers, increasing the total number of Shares and Options on issue. In addition, the Securities will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Company can issue without Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 7.1.

NEUROTECH INTERNATIONAL LIMITED – NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING AND EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

15

If Resolution 4 is not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of the Securities to Crown Luggers or Crown Lugger’s nominee(s). In this scenario, the Company may be required to satisfy the fee payable to Crown Luggers in cash. In this scenario, the Company may miss out on future opportunities that could potentially be referred to the Company by third parties.

In accordance with the disclosure requirements of Listing Rule 7.3, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 4:

(a) Persons to whom the securities are to be issued

5. Resolutions 5(a) to 5(d) – Approval to issue Shares to Directors for outstanding Director fees

5.1

Background

As at the date of this Notice, the Company is indebted to its Directors, being Mark Davies, Winton Willesee, Peter Griffiths and David Cantor, for services provided as a Director of the Company.

The Company has made an offer under Prospectus to the Directors (or their nominees) ( Director Fee Offer ) to satisfy the Company’s indebtedness for outstanding Director fees through the issue of Shares ( Director Fee Shares ).

Subject to Shareholder approval of Resolutions 5(a) to 5(d), Director Fee Shares are proposed to be issued to the Company’s Directors at a deemed issue price of $0.00802 per Director Share in the proportions described in the table below:

Director Outstanding Fees Proposed number of
Director Fee Shares to be
issued
Mark Davies $62,500 7,793,017
Winton Willesee $48,500 6,047,382
Peter Griffiths $136,000 16,957,606
David Cantor $36,500 4,551,122
Total $283,500 35,349,127

5.2 Section 195(1) of the Corporations Act

Section 195(1) of the Corporations Act provides that a director who has a “material personal interest” in a matter being considered at a director’s meeting must not be present while the matter is being considered or vote on the matter.

Section 195(4) of the Corporations Act provides that where there are insufficient directors to form a quorum at a directors’ meeting because of section 195(1), the directors may call a general meeting of shareholders to consider the matter.

The Directors are unable to form a quorum to consider any matters relating to the offer of Director Fee Shares under Resolutions 5(a) to 5(d), as Messrs Davies, Griffiths and Willesee and Dr Cantor, being all of the Directors of the Company, have a material personal interest in the outcome of the Resolutions. Therefore, the Company is seeking approval under section 195(4) of the Corporations Act to deal with the matter.

5.3 Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act

Section 208 of the Corporations Act provides that a public company, or an entity that the public company controls, to give a financial benefit to a related party of the public company, the public company or entity must:

  • obtain the approval of the public company’s members in the manner set out in sections 217 to 227 of the Corporations Act; and

  • give the benefit within 15 months following such approval,

unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception set out in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

The offer of Director Fee Shares to the Directors (or their nominees) under the Director Fee Offer, as contemplated by Resolutions 5(a) and 5(d), constitutes the giving a financial benefit

NEUROTECH INTERNATIONAL LIMITED – NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING AND EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

17

for the purposes of the Corporations Act, and to each of Messrs Davies, Griffiths and Willesee and Dr Cantor as Related Parties of the Company.

Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought for the purposes of section 208 of the Corporations Act.

5.4 Listing Rule 10.11

Listing Rule 10.11 provides that unless one of the exceptions in Listing Rule 10.12 applies, a listed company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to:

  • 10.11.1 – a related party;

  • 10.11.2 - a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (30%+) holder in the company;

  • 10.11.3 – a person who is, or was at any time in the 6 months before the issue or agreement, a substantial (10%+) holder in the company and who has nominated a director to the board of the company pursuant to a relevant agreement which gives them a right or expectation to do so;

  • 10.11.4 – an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rules 10.11.1 to 10.11.3; or

  • 10.11.5 – a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.11.1 to 10.11.4 is such that, ASX’s opinion, the issue or agreement should be approved by its shareholders,

Unless it obtains approval of its shareholders.

The issue of Director Fee Shares falls within Listing Rule 10.11.1 and does not fall within any of the exceptions in Listing rule 10.12. It therefore requires approval of the Company’s Shareholders under Listing Rule 10.11.

Resolutions 5(a) to 5(d) seek the required Shareholder approval to issue the Director Fee Shares under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.11.

If Resolutions 5(a) to 5(d) are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Director Fee Shares and satisfy its obligations to remunerate its Directors for services rendered to the Company.

If Resolutions 5(a) to 5(d) are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the issue of Director Fee Shares and will need to satisfy its obligations to remunerate its Directors through cash payments which in turn will reduce the amount of the capital the Company has to direct toward future projects.

5.5 Corporations Act information requirements

Section 219 of the Corporations Act requires that the following information be provided to Shareholders in relation to Resolutions 5(a) to 5(d) for the purposes of obtaining approval under Section 208 of the Corporations Act:

Neurotech secures option to acquire global rights to cannabis strains targeting autism

Highlights

  • Option to acquire an exclusive worldwide licence to use proprietary cannabis strains from Dolce Cann Global Pty Ltd (‘Dolce’) for medicinal use in treating autism, epilepsy and ADHD

  • Complements NTI’s existing technology which provides medical neurofeedback therapy for use in autism management

  • Dolce is a uniquely positioned Australian developer of medicinal cannabis, with proprietary genetics sourced from 13 rare landrace chemovars developed over 20 years using selective targeted breeding techniques

  • Genetic profiling of approximately 650 leaf cuttings from Dolce seedlings evidenced high levels of specific cannabinoids including CBG and CBDV – recent published studies indicate potential for these to target specific neurological disorders

  • NTI plans to commence in-vitro testing (human cell in laboratory) on 15 priority strains targeting autism and other neurological disorders in August / September 2020

  • If initial testing is successful, NTI intends to partner with a leading Australian university to commence clinical trials utilising both the Dolce cannabis strains and its own proprietary Mente Autism neurofeedback device which analyses brain wave activity

Neurotech International Limited (ASX: NTI) ("Neurotech" or "the Company") is pleased to announce it has secured an option to acquire an exclusive worldwide licence to utilise proprietary cannabis strains from Dolce Cann Global Pty Ltd (‘Dolce’) for medicinal use in treating neurological disorders including autism, epilepsy and ADHD.

Australian-based Dolce has proprietary genetics sourced from 13 rare chemovars and bolstered over the past 20 years by selective breeding targeted for distinct purposes such as cultivation method, climate, yield, phytochemical content and harvested products including flower, seed, fibre or biomass.

Recent profiling of leaf cuttings from 650 seedlings of Dolce genetics evidenced high levels of cannabinoids CBG, CBC, CBN and CBDV among others. Recent studies have indicated the potential for these cannabinoids to target neurological disorders.

Neurotech Chairman Mark Davies said: “ Neurotech has been researching in the field of autism and other neurological disorders for more than five years as it developed its Mente autism device. With more evidence pointing to the potential for certain cannabinoids to help treat neurological disorders, it makes sense for us to explore this possibility through this agreement with leading cannabis genetics breeder Dolce and we are excited to get started on this research over the coming months.”

NEUROTECH INTERNATIONAL LIMITED – NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING AND EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

A key feature of the targeted Dolce strains is plant profiles with less than 0.3% THC (on average). Investigating cannabis research options for children with autism without the potential psychoactive effects of THC is a key component of NTI’s proposed new project pathway. NTI believes that a combined approach to autism treatment, potentially combining the technology of its own Mente device with Dolce cannabis strains could lead to new treatment options becoming available as trials progress.

Dolce plans to engage Australia’s leading cannabis testing laboratory, ACS Laboratories (Australia) (‘ACS’), to undergo genetic profiling of some of their selected cannabis strains. ACS will also profile Dolce strains for the recently discovered cannabinoids THCp and CBDp as an Australian first.

Dolce has more than 60 elite clones undergoing validation for Plant Breeders Rights approval under the International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants (UPOV) and potential utility patents in the USA. Dolce’s ability to demonstrate its genetic development over the past 20 years puts the Company in a very strong position to secure worldwide IP protection regarding any cannabis strains that are ultimately successful as part of the NTI collaboration.

Proposed Project Pathway

Neurotech has designed a three-stage work program to investigate the use of Dolce’s proprietary cannabis strains in treating the Neuro Disorders. The work program is proposed to be as follows;

1. In vitro assay assessments - neuronal or muscle cell line assessments

Analytical assessments and validation program to be completed in collaboration with ACS labs. These studies are to assess:

  • Dose response studies

  • Upper level of toxicity assessments

  • Mechanism of action profiling

  • Selection of top candidates

2. Small scale human clinical trials

To be conducted in conjunction with a leading Australian University on the following basis:

  • Open label – single group

  • Compassionate use scheme to receive entry into clinic via accelerated pathway

  • Collaboration with senior clinical advisors

  • Submission to the TGA and relevant regulatory bodies

3. Product formulation and final dose profiling

To be conducted in collaboration with Medipharm Australia;

  • Entry into market

  • White label or own label development

All three stages will run in accordance with all applicable Australian regulatory requirements and standards.

Medicinal Cannabis and Autism

Research around the world is currently examining a number of phytocannabinoids to determine their influence over the brain’s CB1 and CB2 receptors. There are indicators that phytocannabinoids can stimulate the endocannabinoid system and send targeted signals throughout the body to address health conditions. Ultimately NTI believes that a combined approach to Autism treatment with its own Mente

device and potentially Dolce cannabis strains could lead to new treatment options becoming available as trials progress.

Of the 120+ phytochemicals that are found in the cannabis plant, recent studies have suggested that CBDV and CBG cannabinoids, either in isolation or in a high yielding whole plant extract, may provide possible targeted relief from neurological disorders including autism. Much further research is required to translate some of the promising findings into ultimately proving the effectiveness of these compounds as treatment options but NTI believes that the combination of the Dolce cannabis strains and its proprietary Mente neurofeedback device may provide a unique research option which will be undertaken later in the year during clinical trials on the basis of in-vitro success.

While research on cannabis and autism is still in its early stages, a number of new studies are now in trial. (http://www.mammausa.org/human-clinical-trials-using-cannabis-for-autism.html) Israel (which legalised medical marijuana in 1992) is leading the way in researching the effectiveness of cannabis in reducing both seizures and behavioural challenges (https://www.freethink.com/articles/marijuana-andautism).

In 2019, Israel's Ben Gurion University of the Negev released a study that shows a promising connection between cannabis and autism. The study followed 188 children with autism, aged 18 and under, for six months as they used cannabis oil for autism symptoms. The oil contained 30% cannabidiol oil (CBD) and 1.5% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). According to the study, after six months of treatment more than 80% of participants reported "significant or moderate improvement".

Patients experienced various cognitive improvements including concentration and sleep. Behavioural challenges and co-morbidities often associated with autism, including seizures, restlessness, and rage attacks, were also significantly improved by the cannabis treatment according to the study. The study also found that cannabis also improved the ability to complete daily tasks such as the ability to dress and shower without help.

NTI’s proposed trials are unique on a number of levels with the use of more esoteric cannabinoids (such as CBDV and CBG), lower THC and importantly, the use of the Company’s Mente feedback device which can track actual brainwave responses as trials are undertaken.

Cannabidivarin (CBDV)

The clinical use of CBDV in epilepsy (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28188044/ ) is well known and in Autism to a lesser extent to date given the timing of a number of recent studies commencing involving cannabinoids and autism.

While compounds such as THC modulate most of their physiological effects via binding with the CB1 and CB2 receptors, cannabinoids such as CBDV, which have anticonvulsant actions, use mechanisms not involving either receptor.

It is believed that CBDV’s anti-epileptic activity is modulated by the cannabinoid’s effects on the capsaicin receptor, TRPV1. Along with CBD, CBDV has shown an ability to dose-dependently activate and desensitise the TRPA1, TRPV1, and TRPV2 channels. By desensitizing these ion channels, these molecules cause a neuronal hyperexcitability reduction, a fact that helps reduce epileptic activity and associated seizures. This application then extends to Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) given that ASD and intractable childhood epilepsy are closely connected.

The chemovar profiles of Dolce are unique in their properties and to NTI’s knowledge, no studies have been undertaken with similar type profiles and a continued neuro feedback device. Targeted improvements in potential clinical studies would include social functioning, communication problems and repetitive behavioural issues.

Cannabigerol (CBG)

NEUROTECH INTERNATIONAL LIMITED – NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING AND EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

31

Unlike CBD, which has a relatively low affinity for cannabinoid receptors and acts mostly through indirect interactions with the endocannabinoid system, CBG is thought to elicit its therapeutic effects directly though interaction with the CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors in the brain (https://www.crescolabs.com/cannabinoids/cbg/)

The psychoactive cannabinoid THC also produces its psychoactive effects though interactions with these receptors; CBG has been observed to work as a buffer to THC’s psychactivity and can even alleviate the feelings of paranoia that sometimes come with consumption of high levels of THC.

Research is relatively sparse regarding the therapeutic benefits of CBG, when compared to the apparent wealth of information available on THC and CBD within the cannabis science community. But there are early studies linking the compound to a whole host of potential therapeutic uses including ASD treatments as part of a whole plant “entourage” approach with higher percentages of CBG. The Dolce chemovars assayed to date have shown significant commercial yields for CBG when compared to other available strains.

Agreement Terms

NTI has the right to acquire an exclusive worldwide licence to utilise Dolce’s proprietary cannabis strains (both existing and new variations as developed) for medicinal use in treating autism, epilepsy and ADHD (‘License’) on the following basis:

  • (a) paying a non-refundable deposit of $50,000 to Dolce’s nominated bank account on or before 10 July 2020;

  • (b) expending $200,000 in accordance with an agreed budget;

  • (c) NTI to have standard rights of pre-emption and first rights of refusal in respect of Dolce’s Cannabis Strains and all Intellectual Property Rights associated with the Cannabis Strains.

  • (d) In consideration of NTI acquiring the licence, Dolce or its nominees will be entitled to be issued the following securities by NTI and grant of royalty as consideration:

  • i. 33,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in NTI and 33,000,000 unlisted options (exercisable at $0.01 each and expiring 31 Jan 2023);

  • ii. 33,000,000 fully paid ordinary shares in NTI upon successful stage 1 in-vitro assay assessments being completed;
