If the Transaction is not completed by 5:00 pm (Vancouver time) on June 30, 2021, holders of the Subscription Receipts will receive from the escrow agent an amount equal to their full subscription price.

We are committed to ensuring the best interests of our shareholders and helping bring greater access to psychedelic wellness to everyone."
