GHP Noetic Science-Psychedelic Pharma Inc. Management’s Discussion and Analysis For the year ended December 31, 2022

Description of the Business

GHP Noetic Science-Psychedelic Pharma Inc. (the "Corporation") was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) on March 25, 2020 and is classified as a Capital Pool Company as defined in the Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) Corporate Finance Manual (the “Manual”). On July 29, 2020, the Corporation completed its initial public offering trading under the symbol PSYF-P.V.

The principal business of the Corporation is the identification and evaluation of assets or businesses with a view to completing a Qualifying Transaction (as such term is defined in the Manual) ("QT"). The Corporation has not commenced commercial operations and has no assets other than cash and short term investments. Given the nature of the activities, no separate segmented information is reported. The Corporation’s continuing operations, as intended, are dependent on its ability to secure equity financing with which it intends to identify and evaluate potential acquisitions of businesses, and once identified and evaluated, to negotiate an acquisition thereof or participation therein subject to receipt of regulatory and, if required, shareholders’ approval.

The head office and the registered head office of the Corporation is located at 18 Lumley Avenue Toronto, ON M4G 2X5 Canada.

On April 21, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Corporation approved the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022

Qualifying Transaction

On February 4, 2021, the Corporation announced that it had entered into a non-binding letter of intent dated February 2, 2021 with Diamond Therapeutics Inc. (“Diamond”), as psychedelic drug development Corporation focused on low-dose therapies for mental health. On May 3, 2022 the Corporation announced the termination of this letter of intent between Diamond and the Corporation.

On February 9, 2023, the Corporation announced that it had entered into a non-binding letter of intent dated February 6, 2023 with Xcyte Digital Corp. (“Xcyte”), a technology company focused on providing services for entities to deliver and enhance their brand in the metaverse. The letter of intent sets out the mutual understanding in regard to the broad terms of the proposed Qualifying Transaction (“Transaction”).

The Transaction is expected to proceed by way of a three-cornered amalgamation, pursuant to which Xcyte will merge with a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation formed for the purposes of completing the Transaction, following which the Corporation will change its name to Xcyte Digital Corporation. The final structure of the Transaction will be determined after the parties have considered applicable tax, securities and accounting matters. The Transaction will be subject to, among other items, the execution of a definitive agreement (the “Definitive Agreement”) to be negotiated by the parties.

Prior to the closing, the Corporation and Xcyte are expected to undertake a private placement of subscription receipts to raise gross proceeds of up to $4,000,000.

On March 30, 2023 the Corporation and Xcyte amended the letter of intent to extend the date for which the letter of intent would be considered to be terminated from March 30, 2023 to April 29, 2023.

  • (c) even if a proposed Qualifying Transaction is identified, there can be no assurance that the Corporation will be able to successfully complete the transaction;
