(“CliniQuantum”), representing approximately 54.01% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of CliniQuantum, pursuant to a share purchase agreement dated March 9, 2026, as amended by an amending agreement dated April 30, 2026 (collectively, the “SPA”), among the Company, CliniQuantum and the holders of the Purchased Shares (collectively, the “Selling Shareholders”). The Transaction was initially announced by news release dated March 10, 2026 and updated by news release dated May 27, 2026.
As consideration for the Purchased Shares, the Company issued an aggregate of 56,600,000 common shares in the capital of the Company (the “Consideration Shares”) from treasury to the Selling Shareholders, representing an aggregate deemed value of approximately $9,459,954.20 (the “Purchase Price”) based on the 20-day volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s common shares (the “Current Market Price”) on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) as at the date of the SPA. No cash consideration was paid for the Purchased Shares.
In addition to the Consideration Shares, the Selling Shareholders may be entitled to receive earn-out payments of up to US$2,500,000 in the aggregate (the “Earn-Out Payments”), payable in cash and/or common shares of the Company at the sole discretion of the Company, contingent upon the achievement of certain milestones, consisting of: (i) US$500,000 for each of the first three patent applications filed in respect of the licensed technology, up to a maximum of US$1,500,000 in the aggregate; and (ii) an amount equal to 7.0% of certain fundraising proceeds raised by the Company, up to a maximum of US$1,000,000 in the aggregate. The Earn-Out Payments, if any, are payable during the three-year period following closing. In accordance with an amendment to the SPA, any common shares of the Company issued in satisfaction of the Earn-Out Payments will be issued at a deemed price equal to the greater of the Current Market Price (determined at the applicable payment date) and $0.05 per common share, being the minimum permitted price under the policies of the TSXV.
