Half of the Common Shares issued as consideration in the Acquisition shall be subject to a one (1) year escrow period.

Completion of the Acquisition is subject to certain conditions being satisfied including, but not limited to: (i) satisfactory completion of due diligence of each party; (ii) Canna-Day having no liabilities, other than certain transaction costs; (iii) the completion of the Financing (as defined below); (iv) receipt of all necessary regulatory and third-party consents, approvals and authorizations as may be required in respect of the Acquisition and the Financing, including without limitation, the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”), if applicable, any approvals required by Health Canada, and any approvals required under the existing outstanding debt documentation of the Company, all such consents, acceptances and approvals to be on terms and conditions acceptable to the Company; (v) approval of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) to the final terms and conditions of the Acquisition as set forth in the definitive agreement with respect to the Acquisition; and (vi) certain other conditions that are customary for transactions of this nature.

Concurrent Financing

Concurrently with the Acquisition, the Company is proposing to complete a non-brokered private placement (the “Financing”, together with the Acquisition, the “Transaction”) of units (the “Units” and each, a “Unit”) of up to an aggregate of $3,750,000 at a price of $0.05 per Unit, with each Unit consisting of one Common Share and one half of one Common Share purchase warrant (the “Warrants” and each whole warrant, a “Warrant”), resulting in the issuance of up to an aggregate of 75,000,000 Common Shares and 37,500,000 Warrants, pursuant to a non-binding term sheet entered into between the Company and Jean-Denis Coté (the “Term Sheet”). Each full Warrant will be exercisable for one Common Share (the “Warrant Shares” and each, a “Warrant Share”) at an exercise price of $0.10 per Warrant Share for a period of two years from the closing date of the Financing.

The Financing will be led by one or more of the shareholders of Canna-Day as the lead investor(s) (collectively, the “Lead Investors”) and is anticipated to include other family, friends and business associates of the Company.

Completion of the Financing will be conditional on the following, among other things (i) a minimum of $3,500,000 being raised, with the Lead Investors having a minimum investment of $2,000,000; (ii) the Lead Investors being satisfied with their diligence efforts on the Company; (iii) the holders of a number of outstanding debentures of the Company agreeing to certain terms and certain outstanding debentures of the Company being redeemed; (iv) all relevant corporate and regulatory approvals being obtained (including, but not limited to, required corporate approvals, CSE approval, if necessary, and Health Canada approval, if necessary); (v) the appointment of the current Chief Executive Officer of Canna-Day to be the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, subject to clearance by the CSE of a CSE Form 3 – Personal Information Form (“PIF”) and security clearance by Health Canada; (vi) the appointment of a new independent chair to the Board and a nominee of Canna-Day to the Board in replacement of two existing directors, with each Board appointment being subject to the clearance of a PIF with the CSE and obtaining security clearance from Health Canada; and (vii) the entrance into an investor rights agreement between the Company and the Lead Investors that would provide for certain Board nomination rights, approval rights, anti-dilution rights and top-up rights, provided the shareholdings of the Lead Investors in the Company are above certain thresholds.

All securities issued in connection with the Financing will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable securities legislation, and such other resale restrictions as prescribed by the policies of the CSE.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Financing to finance working capital and general corporate purposes.
