Additional information on how to vote your Shares in advance of the Meeting is enclosed.

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

The information contained in this Circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by and on behalf of the management of the Company to be used at the Meeting and for the purposes set forth in the Notice of Meeting. It is expected that the solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail or email. Employees of the Company may solicit proxies personally or by telephone at nominal cost. The cost of any such solicitation by management will be borne by the Company.

3

APPOINTMENT OF PROXIES

The persons named in the enclosed Form of Proxy (the “ Management Appointees ”) are directors and/or officers of the Company. A Shareholder who wishes to appoint some person, who need not be a Shareholder, other than the Management Appointees to represent such Shareholder at the Meeting may do so by inserting such person’s name in the blank space provided in the Form of Proxy and striking out the names of the Management Appointees, or by completing another proper Form of Proxy.

MANNER OF VOTING AND EXERCISE OF DISCRETION BY PROXIES

The Management Appointees will vote or withhold from voting the Shares in respect of which they are appointed in accordance with the instructions of the Shareholder appointing them in the Form of Proxy. In the absence of any such direction, such Shares will be voted IN FAVOUR of each matter identified in the Form of Proxy.

The Form of Proxy confers discretionary authority upon the Management Appointees with respect to any amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. As of the date of this Circular, management of the Company knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting other than the matters referred to in the Notice of Meeting.

REVOCATION OF PROXIES

A registered Shareholder who has given a proxy may revoke the proxy as to any motion on which a vote has not already been cast pursuant to the authority conferred by it, by: (a) depositing another completed Form of Proxy, executed by such registered Shareholder or by their attorney authorized in writing or by electronic signature or, if the registered Shareholder is an entity, by an officer or attorney thereof properly authorized, either (i) with Odyssey Trust Company, Suite 702, 67 Yonge Street, Toronto, ON, M5E 1J8, by 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on October 7, 2021, or (iii) with the Chair on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof; (b) delivering a written and signed revocation to the person and as otherwise provided in (i) or (ii) above; or (c) in any other manner permitted by law, including attending the Meeting in person.

VOTING BY NON-REGISTERED SHAREHOLDERS

The information in this section is of significant importance to many Shareholders as a substantial number of Shareholders do not hold their Shares in their own name and thus are considered non-registered Shareholders. If Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Shareholder by a broker or other intermediary then, in almost all cases, those Shares will not be registered in the Shareholder’s name on the records of the Company. Such Shares will more likely be registered under the name of the Shareholder’s broker or other intermediary holding on the Shareholder’s behalf.

If you have received the Form of Proxy directly, you may vote your Shares on the Internet, or return the Form of Proxy to Odyssey Trust Company, in accordance with the instructions set out on the Form of Proxy.

Only registered Shareholders, or the persons appointed as their proxies, are entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting. Non-registered Shareholders, including non-objecting beneficial owners (“ NOBOs ”) and objecting beneficial owners (“ OBOs ”), will receive a VIF from an intermediary by way of instruction of their financial institution. Detailed instructions regarding how non-registered Shareholders can submit their votes (including by voting on the Internet) will be in the VIF. Non-registered Shareholders should return their voting instructions as specified in the instructions in the VIF in order to direct the voting of the Shares they beneficially own. Should a non-registered Shareholder who receives either a Form of Proxy or VIF wish to vote at the Meeting in person, the non-registered Shareholder should strike out the names of the Management Appointees and insert the non-registered Shareholder’s name in the blank space provided or, in the case of a VIF, follow the directions indicated on the VIF. Non-registered Shareholders who receive a VIF from an intermediary should carefully follow the instructions of their intermediary, including those regarding when and where the VIF is to be delivered.

4

A non-registered Shareholder who has submitted a VIF may revoke it by contacting the intermediary through which the non-registered Shareholder’s Shares are held and following the intermediary’s instructions. A non-registered Shareholder who has duly submitted the Form of Proxy may revoke it in the manner described in the Form of Proxy. Please refer to the sections entitled “Appointment of Proxies” and “Revocation of Proxies”.

These materials are being sent to both registered and non-registered Shareholders. The Company has determined not to pay the fees and costs of intermediaries for their services in delivering Meeting materials to OBOs in accordance with National Instrument 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer . As a result, OBOs will not receive the Meeting materials unless the OBO’s intermediary assumes the costs of delivery.

VOTING SHARES AND RECORD DATE

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Shares, with each Share carrying the right to one vote at all meetings of the Shareholders.

In accordance with the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), the Company has fixed August 13, 2021 (the “ Record Date ”) as the record date for the purpose of determining Shareholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting. Each Shareholder as of the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to one vote per Share owned at the Meeting and any adjournment or postponement of the Meeting.

INTEREST OF CERTAIN PERSONS IN MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON AT THE MEETING

Except as disclosed in this Circular, no director or officer of the Company, nor any person who has held such a position since the beginning of the last completed financial year of the Company, nor any proposed nominee for election as a director of the Company, nor any associate or affiliate of any of the foregoing, has any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting.

PROPOSED TRANSACTION

The Company has entered into a non-binding letter of intent dated effective February 2, 2021 (the “ Letter of Intent ”) with Diamond Therapeutics Inc. (“ Diamond ”), a private psychedelic drug development company focused on low-dose therapies for mental health. Pursuant to the Letter of Intent, the Company has agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding securities of Diamond in exchange for securities of the Company (the “ Proposed Transaction ”). The Proposed Transaction is intended to result in a reverse take-over of the Company by Diamond, which, if completed, will constitute the “Qualifying Transaction” of the Company as defined in Policy 2.4 Capital Pool Companies of the Corporate Finance Manual of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “ Exchange ”).

Completion of the Proposed Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including, among other things, the execution of a definitive agreement to be negotiated by the parties and the receipt of all necessary approvals, including approval of the Exchange. The Proposed Transaction is not expected to be subject to Shareholder approval, however, certain corporate actions that will be completed if the Proposed Transaction proceeds will require the approval of the Shareholders, including the Name Change (as defined below), the Consolidation (as defined below) and, if applicable, the payment of finder’s fees to any Non-Arms’ Length Parties (as defined below).

It is currently anticipated that the Proposed Transaction will be effected by way of a three-cornered amalgamation, pursuant to which Diamond will merge with a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company formed for the purpose of completing the Proposed Transaction. Following completion of the Proposed Transaction, the Company will continue the business of Diamond, with Diamond as its wholly-owned operating subsidiary. The final structure of the Proposed Transaction will be determined after the parties have considered applicable tax, securities and accounting matters.

The Proposed Transaction will not be a “Non-Arm’s Length Qualifying Transaction” under the policies of the Exchange. However, while the Company and Diamond, and their respective insiders, are at arm’s length, Noetic Psychedelic Fund LP, a widely-held limited partnership, and GHP Diamond SPV LP, a single purpose entity, hold an aggregate of 8.5% of the outstanding Diamond shares. Grey House Partners GP Inc., a company controlled by certain directors and officers of the Company, is the general partner of Noetic Psychedelic Fund LP.

PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON AT THE MEETING

Unless otherwise noted, approval of matters to be placed before the Meeting (other than the Name Change Resolution (as defined below), the Consolidation Resolution (as defined below) and the Advance Notice By-Law Resolution (as defined below)) will be by way of an “ordinary resolution”, which is a resolution passed by a simple majority (50% plus 1) of the votes cast by Shareholders entitled to vote and present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting. In order to be approved, the Name Change Resolution, the Consolidation Resolution and the Advance Notice By-Law Resolution must be approved by a special majority (66[2] /3%) of the votes cast by Shareholders entitled to vote and present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The audited annual financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2020, will be tabled at the Meeting, but no vote will be taken thereon.

APPOINTMENT AND REMUNERATION OF AUDITOR

At the Meeting, the Shareholders will be asked to vote for the re-appointment of MNP LLP as auditor of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021, at a remuneration to be fixed by the board of directors of the Company (the “ Board ”). If appointed, MNP LLP will serve until the earlier of the next annual general meeting of the Shareholders or until its successor is appointed. MNP LLP was first appointed auditor of the Company following the Company’s incorporation in 2020.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote FOR the appointment of MNP LLP as auditor of the Company for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021 at a remuneration to be fixed by the Board, to hold office until the earlier of

the next annual general meeting of the Shareholders or until its successor is appointed. Unless another choice is specified, the Management Appointees intend to vote FOR the appointment of MNP LLP as auditor of the Company for the ensuing year at a remuneration to be fixed by the Board.

The articles of the Company provide that the Board must have a minimum of one and a maximum of ten directors. The Board is currently comprised of six directors, being Michael Franks, Warren Wright, Sa’ad Shah, George Main, Andrew Jolley and Paul Barbeau (collectively, the “ Nominees ”), all of whom are being nominated for re-election.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to elect the Nominees to act as directors of the Company. If elected, each will hold office until the next annual general meeting of the Shareholders or until their earlier death, resignation or removal.

Other than as described below, no Nominee is, or within 10 years before the date of this Circular, has been, a director or executive officer of any company that, while the nominee was acting in that capacity, or within a year of the nominee ceasing to act in that capacity, became bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, was subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors, or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold its assets.

Farber & Partners Inc. was appointed trustee for Qubd under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) on September 11, 2017.

Personal Bankruptcies

To the best of the Company’s knowledge, no Nominee has, within 10 years before the date of this Circular, become bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, become subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors, or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold his assets.

Penalties or Sanctions

To the best of the Company’s knowledge, no Nominee has been subject to: (i) any penalties or sanctions imposed by a court relating to securities legislation or by a securities regulatory authority or has entered into a settlement agreement with a securities regulatory authority; or (ii) any other penalties or sanctions imposed by a court or regulatory body that would be likely to be considered important to a reasonable investor making an investment decision.

AMENDMENTS TO THE OPTION PLAN

The Company is a Capital Pool Company (as defined in the policies of the Exchange) that was listed on the Exchange in 2020 in accordance with the then current Policy 2.4 – Capital Pool Companies of the Exchange. This former Policy 2.4, which was originally effective as at June 14, 2010, is referred to in this Circular as the “ Former CPC Policy ”. The Former CPC Policy was amended, effective as of January 1, 2021, and the amended Policy 2.4 is referred to in this Circular as the “ New CPC Policy ”.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass, with or without variation, an ordinary resolution of disinterested Shareholders in the form set out below (the “ Amended Option Plan Resolution ”), approving certain amendments to the Company’s stock option plan (the “ Option Plan ”), which was originally prepared in compliance with the Former CPC Policy, to reflect certain amendments set out in the New CPC Policy. A full copy of the Option Plan was filed under the Company’s profile on SEDAR on June 18, 2020, and is available at www.sedar.com.

The principal amendment that the Company wishes to make to the Option Plan is to change it to a “10% rolling” plan, in accordance with the New CPC Policy, such that the total number of Shares that may be reserved for issuance pursuant to stock options (each, an “ Option ”) granted under the Option Plan may not exceed 10% of the Shares issued and outstanding at the date of grant of any Option. In accordance with the Former CPC Policy, the Company’s current Option Plan provides that the total number of Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to Options granted under the Option Plan shall not exceed 10% of the Shares issued and outstanding as at the closing of the Company’s initial public offering on July 29, 2020 (the “ IPO ”). At the closing of the IPO, 10,000,000 Shares were issued and outstanding, meaning that under the current Option Plan, a maximum of 1,000,000 Shares can be reserved for issuance pursuant to Options granted under the Option Plan, all of which have been granted as at the date of this Circular.

In keeping with the purpose of the Option Plan, the Company believes that Options are a valuable mechanism that assist in compensating, attracting, retaining and motivating key personnel, such as directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company and its affiliates, and closely align the personal interests of such persons to the interests of Shareholders by providing them with the opportunity to acquire an increased proprietary interest in the development and financial success of the Company. As at the date of this Circular, there are no Shares available for future grants of Options under the Option Plan. As a result, the Company wishes to amend the Option Plan so that the total number of Shares that may be reserved for issuance pursuant to Options under the Option Plan may not exceed 10% of the Shares issued and outstanding at the date of grant, rather than at the closing of the IPO.

The Company also wishes to amend the Option Plan, in accordance with the New CPC Policy, such that, prior to the completion of its Qualifying Transaction: (i) the minimum exercise price for Options granted before the IPO is the lowest price at which any Shares were issued by the Company prior to the IPO; (ii) the number of Shares reserved for issuance

9

under the Option Plan to any individual director or senior officer of the Company may not exceed 5% of the Shares outstanding as at the date of grant, rather than at the closing of the IPO; (iii) the number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Option Plan to any consultant of the Company may not exceed 2% of the Shares outstanding as at the date of grant, rather than at the closing of the IPO; and (iv) no Options may be granted under the Option Plan unless the optionee first enters into a CPC Escrow Agreement (as that term is defined in the New CPC Policy), agreeing to deposit the Options, and any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of such Options, into escrow as described in the New CPC Policy.

The Board has approved the amendments to the Option Plan, subject to receipt of Shareholder and Exchange approval. The amendments to the Option Plan are set out in the blacklined version of the Option Plan attached as Schedule A to this Circular (the “ Amended Option Plan ”).

In order to be adopted, the Amended Option Plan Resolution must be passed by the affirmative vote of a simple majority (50% + 1) of the votes cast by disinterested Shareholders at the Meeting, whether in person or by proxy (“ Disinterested Approval ”). In accordance with the New CPC Policy, the votes attached to Shares held by Insiders and their Associates and Affiliates (each as defined in the policies of the Exchange) to whom Options may be granted under the Option Plan must be excluded from the calculation of Disinterested Approval in connection with the adoption of the Amended Option Plan. As such, an aggregate of 3,100,000 Shares that were held by such Shareholders as at the Record Date will be excluded from voting on the Amended Option Plan Resolution.

If Disinterested Approval is obtained at the Meeting, the Amended Option Plan will replace the current Option Plan, and a copy of the Amended Option Plan will be filed under the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. If Disinterested Approval is not obtained, the current Option Plan will continue in full force and effect. .

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass, the Amended Option Plan Resolution in substantively the following form:

“RESOLVED THAT:

  1. Subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “ Exchange ”), the adoption of the amended and restated incentive stock option plan of GHP Noetic Science-Psychedelic Pharma Inc. (the “ Company ”), as more particularly described in the management information circular of the Company dated September 10, 2021 (the “ Circular ”), with such amendements to the Company’s current incentive stock option plan as are set out in the blacklined version of the plan attached as Schedule A to the Circular, is authorized, ratified, confirmed and approved; and

  2. Any director or officer of the Company is authorized and directed, for and on behalf of the Company, to do all such acts and things, and to execute and deliver all such other documents, as may, in the opinion of such director or officer, be necessary or advisable to carry out and to fulfill the intent of the foregoing resolutions, with the execution of any such document or the doing of any such other act or thing being conclusive evidence of such determination.”

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote FOR the adoption of the Amended Option Plan Resolution. Unless a Shareholder directs that their Shares be voted against the Amended Option Plan Resolution, the Management Appointees will vote FOR the Amended Option Plan Resolution.

ELIMINATION OF THE REQUIREMENT TO COMPLETE A QUALIFYING TRANSACTION WITHIN 24 MONTHS OF LISTING DATE AND ASSOCIATED CONSEQUENCES

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass, with or without variation, an ordinary resolution of disinterested Shareholders in the form set out below (the “ 24 Months Resolution ”), removing the the requirement of the Company to complete a Qualifying Transaction within 24 months of its date of listing on the Exchange (the “ Listing Date ”), and removing the associated consequences of not completing such requirement.

10

Under the Former CPC Policy, if the Company fails to complete a Qualifying Transaction within 24 months of its Listing Date, it faces the consequences of either (i) having its Shares delisted or suspended from the Exchange, or (ii) subject to the approval of the majority of Shareholders, transferring the Shares to list on the NEX and cancelling certain Shares issued to the Company’s founders.

The New CPC Policy eliminates the requirement for a Capital Pool Company, such as the Company, to complete a Qualifying Transaction within 24 months of the Listing Date, and also eliminates the associated consequences of not completing such requirement. The Company believes that the removal of the requirement to complete a Qualifying Transaction within 24 months of the Listing Date, and the associated consequences of not completing such requirement as permitted by the New CPC Policy, will put the Company in a better position to complete a Qualifying Transaction that will be beneficial to Shareholders and the Company by allowing increased flexibility to complete such a transaction. Further, this change will allow the Company to better withstand any potential volatility in the capital markets at a future date, such as that which arose in 2020 in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 24 Months Resolution requires Disinterested Approval. In accordance with the New CPC Policy, the votes attached to Shares held by “Non-Arm’s Length Parties” to the Company who own Seed Shares (as defined in the policies of the Exchange), being the current directors and officers of the Company and any holder of Seed Shares representing greater than 10% percent of the outstanding Shares, and their Associates and Affiliates (as defined in the policies of the Exchange), must be excluded from the calculation of Disinterested Approval in connection with the 24 Months Resolution. As such, an aggregate of 3,100,000 Shares that were held by such Shareholders as at the Record Date will be excluded from voting on the 24 Months Resolution.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass, the 24 Months Resolution in substantively the following form:

“RESOLVED THAT:

  1. Subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “ Exchange ”), the removal of the potential consequences of GHP Noetic Science-Psychedelic Pharma Inc. (the “ Company ”) failing to complete a “Qualifying Transaction” (as defined in the policies of the Exchange) within 24 months after the date of listing of its Shares on the Exchange, in accordance with the amended Policy 2.4 – Capital Pool Companies , adopted by the Exchange effective as of January 1, 2021, all as more particularly described in the management information circular of the Company dated September 10, 2021, is authorized, confirmed and approved; and

  2. Any director or officer of the Company is authorized and directed, for and on behalf of the Company, to do all such acts and things, and to execute and deliver all such other documents, as may, in the opinion of such director or officer, be necessary or advisable to carry out and to fulfill the intent of the foregoing resolutions, with the execution of any such document or the doing of any such other act or thing being conclusive evidence of such determination.”

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote FOR the adoption of the 24 Months Resolution. Unless a Shareholder directs that their Shares be voted against the 24 Months Resolution, the Management Appointees will vote FOR the 24 Months Resolution.

AMENDMENTS TO THE CPC ESCROW AGREEMENT

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass, with or without variation, an ordinary resolution of disinterested Shareholders in the form set out below (the “ Amended Escrow Agreement Resolution ”), allowing the Company to make certain amendments to the Company’s escrow agreement dated July 29, 2020 (the “ Escrow Agreement ”), to reflect amendments set out in the New CPC Policy.

The Escrow Agreement is based on the Form 2F CPC Escrow Agreement adopted by the Exchange effective as of June 14, 2010 in accordance with the requirements of the Former CPC Policy. The Escrow Agreement imposes restrictive

11

escrow conditions on the securities held by directors, officers and the holders of Seed Shares that were acquired prior to the completion of the Company’s IPO. The escrowed securities are subject to restrictions on transfer until the competition of a Qualifying Transaction, after which such securities are to be released over a 36 month period. Under the New CPC Policy, and the new form of the Form 2F CPC Escrow Agreement which was adopted by the Exchange effective as of January 1, 2021, the Company’s escrowed securities will be subject to only an 18 month escrow release schedule, whereby 25% of the escrowed securities will be released from escrow on the date the Exchange issues its Final QT Exchange Bulletin (as that term is defined in the New CPC Policy), and 25% of the escrowed securities will be released from escrow on each of the 6, 12 and 18 months following such date.

In addition, as permitted by the New CPC Policy, the Company wishes to amend the Escrow Agreement such that all Options granted prior to the date the Exchange issues its Final QT Exchange Bulletin, and all Shares that are issued upon exercise of such Options prior to such date, will be released from escrow on such date, other than Options that were granted prior to the Company’s IPO with an exercise price less than the issue price of the Shares issued in the IPO, and any Shares that are issued pursuant to the exercise of such Options, which will be released from escrow in accordance with the schedule set out above.

Amending the Escrow Agreement will ensure that Shareholders subject to the Escrow Agreement are entitled to a release schedule equal to that applicable to holders of options of Capital Pool Companies created under the New CPC Policy, as well as other existing Capital Pool Companies that have adopted the amendments set out in the New CPC Policy.

The Amended Escrow Agreement Resolution requires Disinterested Approval. In accordance with the New CPC Policy, the votes attached to Shares held by Shareholders who are parties to the Escrow Agreement, and their Associates and Affiliates, must be excluded from the calculation of Disinterested Approval in connection with the Amended Escrow Agreement Resolution. As such, an aggregate of 3,100,000 Shares that were held by such Shareholders as at the Record Date will be excluded from voting on the Amended Escrow Agreement Resolution.

If the Amended Escrow Agreement Resolution receives Disinterested Approval at the Meeting, the Company will work with the escrow agent under the Escrow Agreement to finalize the amendments, and a new escrow agreement will be entered into to replace the current Escrow Agreement, a copy of which will be filed under the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. If Disinterested Approval is not obtained, the current Escrow Agreement will continue in full force and effect.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass, the Amended Escrow Agreement Resolution in substantively the following form:

“RESOLVED THAT:

  1. Subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “ Exchange ”), the amendment of the escrow agreement dated July 29, 2020 among GHP Noetic Science-Psychedelic Pharma Inc. (the “ Company ”), Odyssey Trust Company, as escrow agent, and certain shareholders of the Company (the “ Escrow Agreement ”) in order to make any changes as are deemed necessary for the Escrow Agreement to reflect amendments to Policy 2.4 – Capital Pool Companies of the Exchange, which became effective January 1, 2021 (including the changes to the escrow release schedule contained in Policy 2.4, as amended), all as more particularly described in the Company’s management information circular dated September 10, 2021, is authorized and approved; and

  2. Any director or officer of the Company is authorized and directed, for and on behalf of the Company, to do all such acts and things, and to execute and deliver all such other documents, as may, in the opinion of such director or officer, be necessary or advisable to carry out and to fulfill the intent of the foregoing resolutions, with the execution of any such document or the doing of any such other act or thing being conclusive evidence of such determination.”

12

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote FOR the adoption of the Amended Escrow Agreement Resolution. Unless a Shareholder directs that their Shares be voted against the Amended Escrow Agreement Resolution, the Management Appointees will vote FOR the Amended Escrow Agreement Resolution.

PERMISSION TO PAY FINDER’S FEE OR COMMISSION TO A NON-ARM’S LENGTH PARTY

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass, with or without variation, an ordinary resolution of disinterested Shareholders in the form set out below (the “ Finder’s Fee Resolution ”), permitting the Company to pay a finder’s fee or commission to one or more Non-Arm’s Length Parties (as defined in the policies of the Exchange) to the Company upon completion of its Qualifying Transaction.

Under the Former CPC Policy, the Company was prohibited from paying any finder’s fee or commission, directly or indirectly, to Non-Arm’s Length Parties to the Company. The New CPC Policy permits the payment of finder’s fees or commissions to Non-Arm’s Length Parties to the Company upon Completion of the Qualifying Transaction (as that term is defined in the New CPC Policy), provided that the payment is made in compliance with Section 7.3 of the New CPC Policy.

If the Proposed Transaction is completed, it is anticipated that the Company may pay a finder’s fee to Grey House Partners Inc., a company controlled by Michael Franks and Sa’ad Shah, comprised of $500,000 in cash and the issuance of 500,000 warrants, or such other fee as may be determined by the Board and approved by the Exchange. Each warrant is expected to be exercisable into one post-Consolidation (as defined below) Share for five years following the date of closing of the Proposed Transaction at an exercise price equal to the higher of: (i) the Market Price of the Shares as at January 18, 2021, being the date trading in the Shares was halted in connection with the announcement of the Proposed Transaction, adjusted to give effect to the Consolidation, and (ii) the price of the concurrent financing undertaken in connection with the Proposed Transaction.

The total value of any finder’s fee or commission paid by the Company in connection with the Qualifying Transaction shall be in compliance with the limits set out in applicable Exchange policies, including Policy 5.1 – Loans, Loan Bonuses, Finder’s Fees and Commissions , and any such fee or commission will be subject to the review and approval of the Exchange.

The Finder’s Fee Resolution requires Disinterested Approval. In accordance with the New CPC Policy, the votes attached to the Shares held by all Non-Arm’s Length Parties to the Company, and their Associates and Affiliates, must be excluded from the calculation of Disinterested Approval in connection with the Finder’s Fee Resolution, and such approval must constitute Majority of the Minority Approval (as defined in the policies of the Exchange). As such, an aggregate of 3,100,000 Shares that were held by Non-Arm’s Length Parties as at the Record Date will be excluded from voting on the Finder’s Fee Resolution.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass, the Finder’s Fee Resolution in substantively the following form:

“RESOLVED THAT:

  1. Subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “ Exchange ”), and in accordance with the new Policy 2.4 – Capital Pool Companies of the Exchange, effective as of January 1, 2021, GHP Noetic Science-Psychedelic Pharma Inc. (the “ Company ”) is authorized to pay a finder’s fee or commission to a “Non-Arm’s Length Party” (as that term is defined in the policies of the Exchange) to the Company upon completion of its Qualifying Transaction (as defined in the policies of the Exchange), as more particularly described in the Company’s management information circular dated September 10, 2021 (the “ Information Circular ”);

  2. In the event that the Proposed Transaction (as defined in the Information Circular) is completed, the Company is authorized to pay a finder’s fee to Grey House Partners Inc., a company controlled by Michael Franks and Sa’ad Shah, comprised of $500,000 in cash and the issuance

13

of 500,000 warrants of the Company, or such other fee as may be determined by the board of directors of the Company and approved by the Exchange, as further described in the Information Circular; and

  1. Any director or officer of the Company is authorized and directed, for and on behalf of the Company, to do all such acts and things, and to execute and deliver all such other documents, as may, in the opinion of such director or officer, be necessary or advisable to carry out and to fulfill the intent of the foregoing resolutions, with the execution of any such document or the doing of any such other act or thing being conclusive evidence of such determination.”

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote FOR the adoption of the Finder’s Fee Resolution. Unless a Shareholder directs that their Shares be voted against the Finder’s Fee Resolution, the Management Appointees will vote FOR the Finder’s Fee Resolution.

CHANGE OF NAME

In connection with the completion of its Qualifying Transaction, it is expected that the Company will change its name to reflect the business of the Target Company (as defined in the policies of the Exchange), to such name as may be determined by the Company and approved by the Exchange (the “ Name Change ”). The purpose of the Name Change will be to have a corporate name that better reflects the business and operations of the Resulting Issuer following completion of the Qualifying Transaction. If the Proposed Transaction is completed, it is expected that the name of the Company will be changed to “Diamond Therapeutics Inc.”, or such other name as may be determined by the parties and acceptable to the Exchange.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass, with or without variation, a special resolution in the form set out below (the “ Name Change Resolution ”), authorizing the amendment of the articles of the Company to effect the Name Change. The Name Change Resolution will not be implemented except in connection with the completion of a Qualifying Transaction.

If the Name Change Resolution is approved at the Meeting, it is the intention of the Board that the Name Change will be made effective shortly before the Proposed Transaction, or any other Qualifying Transaction, is completed, subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals. The text of the Name Change Resolution reserves to the Board the power to revoke the Name Change Resolution after it has been approved by Shareholders and to amend the name of the Company to any other name that may be approved by the Board in its sole discretion.

In order to be adopted, the Name Change Resolution must be passed by the affirmative vote of a special majority (66 2/3%) of the votes cast by Shareholders present at the Meeting in person or by proxy. If the Name Change Resolution does not receive the requisite Shareholder approval, the Name Change will not proceed.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass, the Name Change Resolution in substantively the following form::

“RESOLVED AS A SPECIAL RESOLUTION THAT:

  1. The amendment of the articles of GHP Noetic Science-Psychedelic Pharma Inc. (the “ Company ”) to change the name of the Company to “Diamond Therapeutics Inc.” or such other name as may be determined by the board of directors of the Company (the “ Board ”) in its sole discretion in connection with the completion of any Qualifying Transaction (as defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) by the Company (in any case, the “ Name Change ”) is authorized and approved;

  2. Any director or officer of the Company is authorized and directed, for and on behalf of the Company, to do all such acts and things, and to execute and deliver all such other documents, as may, in the opinion of such director or officer, be necessary or advisable to carry out and to

14

fulfill the intent of the foregoing resolutions, with the execution of any such document or the doing of any such other act or thing being conclusive evidence of such determination; and

  1. Notwithstanding the passing of this special resolution by the shareholders of the Company, the Board is authorized and empowered, without further notice to or approval of the shareholders of the Company, not to proceed with the Name Change or to revoke this resolution at any time prior to the Name Change becoming effective.”

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote FOR the adoption of the Name Change Resolution. Unless a Shareholder directs that their Shares be voted against the Name Change Resolution, the Management Appointees will vote FOR the Name Change Resolution.

CONSOLIDATION OF OUTSTANDING SECURITIES

In connection with the Proposed Transaction (or any other Qualifying Transaction that may be completed by the Company), management of the Company wishes to be in a position to effect a consolidation of the Shares on the basis of 1.137 pre-consolidation Shares for each post-consolidation Share (the “ Consolidation ”).

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass, with or without variation, a special resolution in the form set out below (the “ Consolidation Resolution ”), authorizing the Consolidation. Although the Consolidation Resolution is expected to be implemented prior to the completion of the Qualifying Transaction, it will not be implemented if the Qualifying Transaction is not about to be imminently completed. The Consolidation will also be subject to any applicable regulatory approvals, including the approval of the Exchange.

In order to be adopted, the Consolidation Resolution must be passed by the affirmative vote of a special majority (66 2/3%) of the votes cast by Shareholders at the Meeting, whether in person or by proxy. If the Consolidation Resolution does not receive the requisite Shareholder approval, the Consolidation will not proceed and a Qualifying Transaction may not be completed.

Certain Risks Associated with the Consolidation

There can be no assurance that the total market capitalization of the Shares (being the aggregate value of all Shares at the then-market price) immediately after the Consolidation will be equal to or greater than the total market capitalization immediately before the Consolidation. There can also be no assurance that the market price per Share following the Consolidation will be higher than the market price per Share immediately before the Consolidation, or equal or exceed the direct arithmetical result of the Consolidation. A decline in the market price of the Shares after the Consolidation may result in a greater percentage decline than would occur in the absence of the Consolidation, and the liquidity of the Shares could be adversely affected. There can be no assurance that, if the Consolidation is implemented, the margin terms associated with the purchase of Shares will improve or that the Company will be successful in receiving increased attention from institutional investors.

Principal Effects of the Consolidation

As of the date of this Circular, there are 10,000,000 Shares issued and outstanding. The following table sets out the number of Shares that would be outstanding as a result of the Consolidation based on the ratio Shareholders will be asked to approve at the Meeting:

Consolidation Ratio Approximate Number of Outstanding Shares
Post Consolidation(1)(2)
(undiluted)
Approximate Number of Outstanding Shares
Post Consolidation(1)(3)
(fully diluted)
1.137 8,795,074 9,674,581

(1) The exact number of Shares outstanding after the Consolidation will vary based on the elimination of fractional Shares, and certain other factors.

(2) Based on 10,000,000 Shares issued and outstanding as at the date of this Circular.

15

  • (3) Based on 10,000,000 issued and outstanding Shares and 1,000,000 outstanding Options as at the date of this Circular, for a total of 11,000,000 Shares on a fully diluted basis.

Tax Effect

The Consolidation will not give rise to a capital gain or loss under the Income Tax Act (Canada) for a resident Canadian Shareholder who holds such Shares as capital property. The adjusted cost base to such Shareholders of their Shares immediately after the Consolidation will be equal to the aggregate adjusted cost base to such Shareholder of the Shares immediately before the Consolidation. This disclosure is general guidance only – all Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors to determine the impact of the Consolidation on their respective Shares.

Notice of Consolidation and Letter of Transmittal

Upon receipt of all required regulatory, Exchange, Shareholder and Board approvals, the Company will mail a letter of transmittal to all registered Shareholders, which must be duly completed and submitted by any registered Shareholder wishing to receive a share certificate or direct registration system (DRS) advice representing the post-Consolidation and post-Name Change Shares to which they are entitled upon completion of the Name Change and the Consolidation. This letter of transmittal should be used by registered Shareholders for the purpose of surrendering certificates representing the currently outstanding Shares to the Company’s registrar and transfer agent, Odyssey Trust Company, in exchange for new share certificates or direct registration system (DRS) advices representing post-Consolidation and post-Name Change Shares. After the Consolidation and Name Change, current issued share certificates representing preConsolidation and pre-Name Change Shares will (i) not constitute good delivery for the purposes of trades of postConsolidation and post-Name Change Shares, and (ii) be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of postConsolidation and post-Name Change Shares to which the Shareholder is entitled as a result of the Consolidation. No delivery of a new certificate or direct registration system (DRS) advice to a Shareholder will be made until the Shareholder has surrendered their current issued certificate(s). The letter of transmittal will contain instructions as to

the procedure by which the existing share certificates and the letter of transmittal are to be sent to Odyssey Trust Company, the Company’s registrar and transfer agent.

Non-Registered Shareholders

Non-registered Shareholders holding their Shares through a bank, broker or other intermediary should note that such bank, broker or other intermediary may have different procedures for processing the proposed Consolidation than those that will be put in place by the Company for registered Shareholders. If you hold your Shares with a bank, broker or other intermediary and you have any questions in this regard, you are encouraged to contact your nominee.

Fractional Shares

No fractional Shares will be issued upon the Consolidation. All fractions of post-Consolidation Shares will be rounded down to the next lowest whole number.

Percentage Shareholdings

The proposed Consolidation will not affect any Shareholder’s percentage ownership in the Company, even though such ownership will be represented by a smaller number of Shares. Instead, the Consolidation will reduce proportionately the number of Shares held by all Shareholders.

Implementation

The implementation of the proposed Consolidation is conditional on the Company receiving all necessary approvals, including the approval of the Exchange, and the imminent completion of a Qualifying Transaction. The Consolidation Resolution provides that the Board is authorized, in its sole discretion, to determine not to proceed with the proposed Consolidation, without further approval of the Shareholders. In particular, the Board may determine not to present the Consolidation Resolution to the Meeting or, if the Consolidation Resolution is presented to the Meeting and approved, may determine after the Meeting not to proceed with completion of the Consolidation. The Board does not intend to implement the Consolidation or the Name Change unless a Qualifying Transaction is to be imminently completed.

16

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass, the Consolidation Resolution in substantively the following form:

“RESOLVED AS A SPECIAL RESOLUTION THAT:

  1. GHP Noetic Science-Psychedelic Pharma Inc. (the “ Company ”) be and is authorized to amend the Company’s articles to consolidate the issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of the Company (each, a “ Share ”) on the basis of a ratio of 1.137 pre-consolidation Shares for each post-consolidation Share (the “ Consolidation ”), as further described in the management information circular of the Company dated September 10, 2021;

  2. In the event that the Consolidation would result in the issuance of a fractional Share, no fractional Share will be issued and such fractional Share will be rounded down to the next lowest whole number;

  3. Any director or officer of the Company is authorized and directed, for and on behalf of the Company, to do all such acts and things, and to execute and deliver all such other documents, as may, in the opinion of such director or officer, be necessary or advisable to carry out and to fulfill the intent of the foregoing resolutions, with the execution of any such document or the doing of any such other act or thing being conclusive evidence of such determination; and

  4. Notwithstanding the passing of this special resolution by the shareholders of the Company, the board of directors of the Company is authorized and empowered, without further notice to or approval of the shareholders of the Company, to not proceed with the Consolidation or to revoke this resolution at any time prior to the Consolidation becoming effective.”

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote FOR the adoption of the Consolidation Resolution. Unless a Shareholder directs that their Shares be voted against the Consolidation Resolution, the Management Appointees will vote FOR the Consolidation Resolution.

Approval of Advance Notice By-Law

Effective September 10, 2021, the Board resolved to adopt By-law No. 2 of the Company, which sets out advance notice requirements that apply in certain circumstances involving nominations of individuals for election as directors of the Company (the “ Advance Notice By-Law ”). A copy of the Advance Notice By-Law is attached to this Circular as Schedule B. The summary of the Advance Notice Bylaw set out below is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Advance Notice Bylaw.

The Advance Notice By-Law is intended to promote the orderly conduct of business at Shareholder meetings, and ensure that Shareholders, including Shareholders who vote by proxy at a meeting of the Shareholders at which directors are to be elected, will have adequate time and sufficient information to evaluate potential nominees to the Board.

Among other things, the Advance Notice By-Law fixes a deadline by which Shareholders must submit director nominations to the Company prior to any annual meeting of the Shareholders or any special meeting of the Shareholders at which directors are to be elected. It also specifies the information that a nominating Shareholder must include in their notice to the Company for the notice to be in proper form and for any proposed nominee to be eligible for election at the applicable meeting of the Shareholders.

In order for the nomination of any person for election to the Board to be accepted, the nomination must be made: (i) by or at the direction of the Board, or an authorized officer of the Company, including pursuant to a notice of meeting; or (ii) by or at the direction or request of one or more Shareholders pursuant to a proposal duly made in accordance with the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “ OBCA ”) or a requisition of meeting duly made in accordance with the OBCA.

17

In addition, an individual may be nominated for election to the Board by a person (a “ Nominating Shareholder ”) who: (i) at the close of business on the date that notice of a proposed nomination is given to the Company (as contemplated by the Advance Notice By-Law) and on the record date for determining Shareholders entitled to receive notice of, or to vote at, the applicable meeting, is entered in the Company’s securities register as a holder of one or more Shares carrying the right to vote at such meeting or who beneficially owns Shares that are entitled to be voted at such meeting and establishes such beneficial ownership to the satisfaction of the Chair; and (ii) complies with the notice and other procedures set out in the Advance Notice By-Law.

The Advance Notice By-Law fixes a deadline by which notice of a proposed nomination must be provided by the Nominating Shareholder to the Secretary of the Company prior to any annual meeting of the Shareholders or any special meeting of the Shareholders at which directors are to be elected, and outlines the specific information that the Nominating Shareholder must include in such notice. No person nominated by a Shareholder will be eligible for election as a director unless nominated in accordance with the provisions of the Advance Notice By-Law.

In the case of an annual meeting of Shareholders, notice to the Secretary must be given by the Nominating Shareholder not less than 30 days and not more than 65 days prior to the date of the annual meeting; provided, however, that if the annual meeting is to be held on a date that is less than 50 days after the date on which the first public announcement of the date of the annual meeting is made, notice may be given by the Nominating Shareholder not later than the close of business on the 10th day following such public announcement. In the case of a special meeting of Shareholders (which is not also an annual meeting) called for the purpose of electing directors (whether or not called for other purposes), notice to the Secretary must be given by the Nominating Shareholder not later than the close of business on the 15th day following the day on which the first public announcement of the date of the special meeting was made.

The Board may, in its sole discretion, waive any requirement of the Advance Notice By-Law and may delegate such discretion to the Chair of any meeting of the Shareholders.

The Advance Notice By-Law will be in effect until it is confirmed or rejected by Shareholders at the Meeting. If confirmed, the Advance Notice By-Law will continue in effect in the form in which it is so confirmed at the Meeting. If Shareholders do not approve the resolution approving the Advance Notice By-Law (the “ Advance Notice By-Law Resolution ”) at the Meeting, it will cease to have effect. For greater certainty, the Company’s existing by-laws are not affected by the Advance Notice By-Law and will continue in effect, unamended.

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, to pass the Advance Notice By-Law Resolution in substantively the following form:

RESOLVED, AS A SPECIAL RESOLUTION, THAT :

  1. By-Law No. 2 of GHP Noetic Science-Psychedelic Pharma Inc. (the “ Company ”), which provides, among other things, for advance notice of nominations of persons to serve as directors of the Corporation, in the form attached as Schedule B to, and as described in the management information circular of the Company dated September 10, 2021, is ratified and confirmed as a by-law of the Company; and

  2. Any director or officer of the Company is authorized and directed, for and on behalf of the Company, to do all such acts and things, and to execute and deliver all such other documents, as may, in the opinion of such director or officer, be necessary or advisable to carry out and to fulfill the intent of the foregoing resolutions, with the execution of any such document or the doing of any such other act or thing being conclusive evidence of such determination.”

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote FOR the Advance Notice By-Law Resolution at the Meeting. Unless a Shareholder directs that their Shares be voted against the Advance Notice By-Law Resolution, the Management Appointees will vote FOR the Advance Notice By-Law Resolution.

18

OTHER MATTERS WHICH MAY COME BEFORE THE MEETING

Management knows of no matters to come before the Meeting other than those matters referred to in the Notice of Meeting. Receipt at the Meeting of reports to the directors and auditors and the Company’s financial statements for its last completed financial year and the auditors’ report thereon will not constitute approval or disapproval of any matters referred to therein.

21

MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS

Management functions of the Company are substantially performed by officers of the Company and not, to any substantial degree, by any other person with whom the Company has contracted.

DISCLOSURES RELATING TO CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

National Policy 58-201 – Corporate Governance Guidelines (“ NP 58-201 ”) and National Instrument 58-101 – Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (“ NI 58-101 ”) set out a series of guidelines for effective corporate governance. The guidelines address matters such as the constitution and independence of corporate boards, the function to be performed by boards and their committees, and the effectiveness and education of board members. NI 58-101 requires the disclosure by each reporting issuer of its approach to corporate governance with reference to the guidelines as it is recognized that the unique characteristics of individual corporations will result in varying degrees of conformity. The following disclosure is provided in accordance with the corporate governance disclosure prescribed by Form 58-101F2 of NI 58-101.

Board of Directors

NI 58-101 defines an “independent director” as a director who has no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company. A “material relationship” is defined as a relationship, which could, in the view of the Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with such member’s independent judgment.

The Board is currently comprised of six members. Under NI 58-101 and NP 58-201, Mr. Franks, Mr. Wright and Mr. Shah are not considered independent, as they are officers of the Company, and Mr. Main, Mr. Jolley and Mr. Barbeau are considered to be independent.

Directorships

The following director is also currently a director of other reporting issuers in a Canadian jurisdiction (or the equivalent in a foreign jurisdiction):

Name of Director Name of Reporting Issuer Market
Paul Barbeau TUP Capital Inc. TSXV
Nevada Silver Corporation(formerlyNBS Capital Inc.) TSXV

Nomination of Directors

The Board performs the functions of a nominating committee and is responsible for the appointment and assessment of directors. The Board believes that this is a practical approach at this stage of the Company’s development and given the small size of the Board. While there are no specific criteria for Board membership, the Company attempts to attract and maintain directors with business knowledge and an established knowledge of areas which would assist in guiding the officers of the Company. As such, nominations tend to be the result of recruitment efforts by management of the Company and discussions among directors prior to the consideration by the Board as a whole.

Director Term Limits

The Company has not adopted term limits for or other mechanisms for Board renewal. The Board believes that term limits are not practical at this stage of the Company’s development.

Board’s Relations with Management

The interaction between management and Board members, both inside and outside of meetings of the Board, ensures that the Board is properly informed and that the experience of the Board members is brought to bear when needed by management. The Board has also adopted a policy of permitting individual directors under appropriate circumstances to engage legal, financial or other expert advisors at the Company’s expense.

22

Director Compensation

Refer to “ Statement of Executive Compensation – Oversight and Description of Director and Named Executive Officer Compensation ” for a discussion of the steps taken to determine the compensation of the NEOs and directors of the Company.

Director Assessment

The Board seeks to assess, on an annual basis, the contribution of the Board as a whole and each of the individual directors, in order to determine whether each is functioning effectively.

Director Orientation and Continuing Education

The Company does not provide a formal orientation and education program for new directors. New directors are given an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the Company by meeting with other directors, reviewing the rules and regulations of the Exchange, and reviewing the corporate by-laws. Moreover, new directors are encouraged to speak with the Company’s solicitors to become familiarized with their legal responsibilities as directors.

Ethical Business Conduct

The role of the Board is to oversee the conduct of the Company’s business and to supervise the activities of management in connection with the identification and completion of a Qualifying Transaction. Given the size of the Company, all material transactions are addressed at the Board level.

DISCLOSURE RELATING TO AUDIT COMMITTEE

National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees (“ NI 52-110 ”) requires the Company, as a venture issuer (as defined in NI 52-110), to disclose annually in its management information circular certain information concerning the constitution of its Audit Committee and its relationship with its independent auditor. The following disclosure is provided in accordance with Form 52-110F2 of NI 52-110.

Audit Committee Charter and Composition

The Board has established an Audit Committee consisting of three directors of the Company, the majority of whom are not officers, employees or control persons of the Company.

For the year-ended December 31, 2021, Michael Franks, George Main and Andrew Jolley were members of the Audit Committee and were “financially literate” as defined in NI 52-110. Pursuant to NI 52-110, a person is financially literate if he or she has the ability to read and understand a set of 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 the Company’s financial statements.

Mr. Main and Mr. Jolley are considered “independent” directors, as defined in NI 52-110, while Mr. Franks is not considered independent as he is the CEO of the Company. Additional details with respect to each of their respective backgrounds is included in the table above under the heading “Election of Directors”.

As a venture issuer, the Company is relying on an exemption provided in Section 6.1 in NI 52-110 from certain disclosure requirements and requirements regarding the composition of the Audit Committee, including the requirement that all members qualify as “independent”.

The responsibilities and operation of the Audit Committee are set out in the Company’s Audit Committee charter, a copy of which is attached to this Circular as Schedule C.

Relevant Education and Experience

In addition to the background and experience noted below with respect to each member of the Audit Committee, all members of the Audit Committee had direct access to the Company’s auditors and to the Company’s management.

23

Audit Committee Oversight

Since the commencement of the most recently completed financial year, the Board adopted all of the recommendations of the Audit Committee to nominate or compensate an external auditor.

Reliance on Certain Exemptions

Since the commencement of the most recently completed financial year, the Company did not rely on an exemption provided under Section 2.4 ( De Minimis Non-audit Services ) of NI 52-110, nor has the Company obtained or relied upon any exemption from a securities regulatory authority or regulator from the requirements of Part 8 ( Exemptions ) of NI 52-110.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee has not adopted any specific policies and procedures regarding the engagement of non-audit services, but does review such matters as they arise in light of factors such as the Company’s current needs, the availability of services from other sources and the other services provided by the Company’s auditor.

EXTERNAL AUDITOR SERVICES FEES

The following table sets out the aggregate fees billed by the Company’s external auditor during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, being the first fiscal year completed by the Company:

Category of Fees Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2020

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Corporation will make adjustments to the terms of any options as follows:

  • (i) if the Shares are subdivided into a greater number of Shares or consolidated into a lesser number of Shares, the number of Shares which may, after that, be acquired under any options shall be the number of Shares which would have been received by the Participant on such subdivision or consolidation had the Participant then been the holder of record of the number of Shares then exercisable under such options, and in such event, the exercise price per Share shall be decreased or increased proportionately; and

  • (ii) if there is any capital reorganization or reclassification of the share capital of the Corporation, or any consolidation or merger, amalgamation or other business combination of the Corporation with any other person, adequate provisions shall be made by the Corporation so that there shall be substituted under any options the securities which would have been issuable or payable to the Participant had they then been the holder of record of the number of Shares then exercisable under the Options.

17. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN

Subject to the policies, rules and regulations of any lawful authority having jurisdiction (including any exchange on which the Shares are listed for trading), the Board may at any time, without further action by the shareholders, amend the Plan or any option granted hereunder in such respects as it may consider advisable and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it may do so to ensure that options granted hereunder will comply with any provisions respecting stock options in the income tax or other laws in force in any country or jurisdiction of which a person to whom an option has been granted may from time to time be resident or citizen or the Board may at any time, without action by shareholders, terminate the Plan. The Board may not, however, without the consent of the option holder, alter or impair any of the rights or obligations under any option theretofore granted.

18. NECESSARY APPROVALS

The ability of a Participant to exercise options and the obligation of the Corporation to issue and deliver Shares in accordance with the Plan is subject to any approvals which may be required from shareholders of the Corporation and any regulatory authority or stock exchange having jurisdiction over the securities of the Corporation. If any Shares cannot be issued to any Participant for whatever reason, the obligation of the Corporation to issue such Shares shall terminate and any option exercise price paid to the Corporation will be returned to the Participant.

19. WITHHOLDING TAXES

The Corporation’s obligation to deliver Shares issuable on the exercise of an option shall be subject to a Participant’s satisfaction of all applicable income, employment and non-resident withholding tax obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Corporation determines in its sole discretion that under the requirements of applicable taxation laws or regulations of any governmental authority whatsoever it is obliged to withhold for remittance to a taxing authority any amount upon exercise of an option, the Corporation may take any steps it considers necessary or appropriate in the circumstances to withhold in connection with any option or other benefit under the Plan including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

  • (a) requiring the Participant exercising the option to pay the Corporation, in the same manner as the exercise price for the Shares issuable on exercise of an option, such amount as the Corporation is obliged to remit to such taxing authority in respect of the exercise of the option, with any such additional payment, in any event, being due no later than the date as of which any amount with respect to the option exercised first becomes included in the gross income of the Participant for tax purposes;

  • (b) issuing the Shares issuable on the exercise of an option to an agent on behalf of the Participant and directing the agent to sell a sufficient number of such Shares on behalf of the Participant to satisfy the amount of any such withholding obligation, with the agent paying the proceeds of any such sale to the Corporation for this purpose; and

  • (c) to the extent permitted by law, deducting the amount of any such withholding obligation from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Participant.

20. EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN
