FSD PHARMA INC.

UP TO $11,154,232

CLASS B SUBORDINATE VOTING SHARES

FSD Pharma Inc. ("FSD Pharma", the "Corporation", "we", "us", or "our") has entered into an At The Market Offering Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright” or “Sales Agent”) relating to the offering of our Class B Subordinate Voting Shares (“Class B Shares”) pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. In accordance with the terms of the Sales Agreement, we may offer and sell Class B Shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $11,154,232, from time to time through or to the Sales Agent, acting as sales agent or principal. Unless otherwise stated, currency amounts in this prospectus supplement are presented in United States dollars, or “$” or “US$.”

Our Class B Shares are listed for trading under the trading symbol “HUGE” on the Nasdaq Capital Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) in the United States and listed and posted for trading in Canada on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) under the trading symbol “HUGE”. The Class B Shares are also listed and posted for trading in Germany on the Börse Frankfurt, or Frankfurt Stock Exchange (“FSE”), under the trading symbol “0K9A”. On February 15, 2024, the closing price of the Class B Shares was US$0.845 per share on the Nasdaq, C$1.14 per share on the CSE and €0.765 per share on the FSE.

Upon our delivery of a sales notice and subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, the Sales Agent may sell Class B Shares by methods deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), including sales made directly on or through Nasdaq, the existing trading market for our Class B Shares in the United States, sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange or otherwise, directly to Wainwright as principal, in negotiated transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, and/or in any other method permitted by law. The Sales Agent is not required to sell any specific number or amount of Class B Shares, but will use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations and the rules of the Nasdaq. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in any escrow, trust, or similar arrangement. 

No sales of our Class B Shares under this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus will be made in Canada or over or through the facilities of the CSE or any other exchange or market in Canada.

We will pay the Sales Agent a commission for its services in acting as agent in the sale of Class B shares equal to 3.0% of the gross sales price per share of all shares sold through the Sales Agent as agent under the Sales Agreement. See “Plan of Distribution” for information relating to certain expenses of the Sales Agent to be reimbursed by us. In connection with the sale of Class B Shares on our behalf, the Sales Agent will be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and the compensation to the Sales Agent will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have also agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to the Sales Agent with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

The aggregate market value of our capital stock held by non-affiliates pursuant to General Instruction I.B.5 of Form F-3 was approximately $33,462,697, which is based on a total of 72 Class A Multiple Voting Shares and 39,376,723 Class B Shares outstanding as of February 7, 2024, of which 33,131,383 Class B Shares were held by non-affiliates, at a price of $1.01 per share, the closing sales price of our Class B Shares on January 9, 2024, which is the highest closing price of our Class B Shares on Nasdaq within the prior 60 days. Pursuant to General Instruction I.B.5 of Form F-3, in no event will we sell securities, registered on the registration statement, of which this prospectus supplement is a part, in a public primary offering with a value exceeding one-third of the aggregate market value of our public float in any 12-month period so long as our public float remains below $75 million. During the 12 calendar months prior to and including the date of this prospectus supplement, we have not sold any securities pursuant to General Instruction I.B.5 on Form F-3.

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) and, as such, we have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements for this prospectus supplement, the accompanying base prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein and future filing. We are also a “foreign private issuer” as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and are exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act.

Investing in our securities involves a very high degree of risk. Please review carefully the information contained in or incorporated by reference under the heading “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-13 of this prospectus supplement, and under similar headings in other documents filed after the date hereof and incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.

Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Corporate and Other Information

The Corporation was formed in 1998 under and is governed by the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario).  The Corporation's head and registered office is located at 199 Bay Street, Suite 4000, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5L 1A9 and its telephone number is 416-854-8884.  The Corporation maintains a website at www.fsdpharma.com. Information contained on our website does not constitute part of this prospectus supplement

Summary of Business

The Corporation is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to building a portfolio of innovative assets and biotech solutions for the treatment of challenging neurodegenerative, inflammatory and metabolic disorders and alcohol misuse disorders with drug candidates (the “Product Candidates”) in different stages of development. From May 2018 to March 2020, the focus of the Corporation’s business was the cultivation, processing and sale of medical cannabis; in March 2020, however, the Corporation pivoted its focus to pharmaceuticals and biotechnology. The Corporation is not engaged in any cannabis-related activities.

Alcohol Misuse Disorder Product Candidates

With respect to the Product Candidates for alcohol misuse disorders, the Corporation sees two distinct routes where this segment can be developed, (i) recreational retail and (ii) healthcare; Celly Nu, through the Celly Nu IP License Agreement (as defined below) will be focusing on the recreational retail sector and the Corporation will be focusing on the healthcare sector as further outlined below:

A consumer recreational beverage product that will be sold via retail distribution. On July 31, 2023, the Corporation entered into a definitive exclusive intellectual property license agreement (the “Celly Nu IP License Agreement”) with Celly Nu and the Corporation’s wholly owned subsidiary, Lucid Psycheceuticals Inc. (“Lucid”), which granted Celly Nu the exclusive rights to the recreational applications for the Corporation’s alcohol misuse technology for rapid alcohol detoxification, and the rights to the trademarks, UNBUZZD™ and ALCOHOLDEATH™, in exchange for securities in Celly Nu (as defined below) and a royalty on any product sales, so that Celly Nu could fund research and development, market and sell UNBUZZD. As part of the Celly Nu IP License Agreement, the Corporation loaned Celly Nu C$1,000,000 on a secured basis with a term of 3 years, which will bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum, payable on each anniversary, to assist Celly Nu in achieving that goal; however, the Corporation does not have an obligation to fund Celly Nu in the future.

Pursuant to the Celly Nu IP License Agreement, the Corporation will receive a 7% royalty on revenue from Celly Nu, until total royalties in the amount of C$250,000,000 has been paid to the Corporation, at which point the royalty rate is reduced to 3%. In addition, Celly Nu has issued the Corporation 100,000,000 shares of Celly Nu common stock as a license fee and has issued the Corporation an anti-dilution warrant, entitling the Corporation to exercise the warrant at any time, in whole or in part, for a period of five years from the date of issuance to increase their holdings in Celly Nu to 25% for nominal consideration. Upon completion of the transaction with Celly Nu, the Corporation holds approximately 34.66% of the issued and outstanding Celly Nu Shares on a non-diluted basis.

The Corporation will retain all rights to medical and pharmaceutical applications under its umbrella to further develop the franchise as part of its portfolio.

The Corporation’s continued operations are not dependent on the development of UNBUZZD™.

The Healthcare Product has the potential to assist emergency room physicians and their medical staff with the abundance of intoxicated patients they receive as these patients are utilizing critical resources (i.e. the physicians and their medical staff) whose time can be used for more urgent and critical needs. The Corporation did not license the intellectual property with respect to the Product Candidate for the Healthcare Product to Celly Nu and will be conducting further research and development, including clinical trials, into the viability of the Healthcare Product. Although any research and development conducted by the Corporation on the Healthcare Product could be shared with, and may assist, Celly Nu in developing UNBUZZD, the Corporation has no obligation, pursuant to the Celly Nu IP License Agreement, to share such information with Celly Nu.

The viability, development and advancement of the Healthcare Product is dependent on the Corporation obtaining requisite funding, in the amount of approximately $10,998,811, for the Corporation to complete further research and development. The Corporation, through its initial research, has discovered that there is significant demand in the market for this type of product, an opportunity for them to capture market share and believes that if it were able to develop and sell the Healthcare Product, it would bring immense value to its shareholders. If the requisite financing is not obtained, the Corporation will be unable to develop the Healthcare Product. There can be no assurance that such Healthcare Product can be successfully developed even if adequate financing is obtained.

The Corporation’s continued operations are not dependent on the Healthcare Product’s development.

Lucid-MS

Through Lucid, the Corporation is also currently focused on the research and development of its Lucid-21-302 (“Lucid-MS”) compound. Lucid-MS is a patented new chemical entity shown to prevent and reverse myelin degradation, the underlying mechanism of multiple sclerosis (“MS”), in preclinical models. On April 17, 2023, the Corporation announced the completion of its first-in-human dosing of Lucid-MS in the Corporation’s Phase 1 clinical trial. On May 10, 2023, the Corporation announced the completion of dosing the first cohort of patients in the Phase 1 clinical trial of Lucid-MS. The Corporation is continuing to advance Lucid-MS through its Phase 1 clinical trial.

FSD-PEA

In June 2023, the Corporation terminated any further clinical development of its proprietary ultra-micronized palmitoylethanolamide (“FSD-PEA”) (also known as FSD-201) formulation which was being developed for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. The Corporation’s team of internal medical experts conducted a profitability assessment of FSD-PEA and ultimately determined that the FSD-PEA molecule was not profitable compared against the currently available products in the market and it would not be possible to cover the Corporation’s manufacturing and research and development investments at a price that would be accepted in the market.

Lucid-PSYCH

Additionally, management made the decision to put the research and development activities associated with Lucid- PSYCH (formerly Lucid-201) on hold during June 2023. This decision was made based on the cumulative cash requirements to advance the research and development of the Corporation’s portfolio of compounds. Due to cash flow prioritization strategies, management elected to prioritize the Lucid-MS compound and its alcohol misuse treatment products. The carrying amount of the intangible asset that Lucid-PSYCH is associated with was nil as of June 30, 2023. The Corporation has not recognized an amount specific to Lucid-PSYCH. When the Corporation acquired Lucid, it recognized an intangible asset consisting of the world-wide exclusive license agreement with the University Health Network for the exclusive rights to the novel Lucid-MS compound and the U.S. patent for the Lucid-MS compound covered by the University Health Network license. Lucid-PSYCH was not covered by the license agreement and did not have any patent protection.

Prismic

The Corporation does not operate through Prismic Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Prismic”), however Prismic holds the right to receive certain payments based on net sales of certain products from the Corporation pursuant to an assignment agreement between Prismic and the Corporation.

FSD Strategic Investments

Through FSD Strategic Investments Inc. (“FSD Strategic Investments”), the Corporation is involved in the issuance of loans secured by residential or commercial property.

Intercorporate Relationships

The corporate chart of the Corporation including the Corporation’s subsidiaries, together with the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Corporation and its subsidiary and the percentage of voting securities beneficially owned, controlled, or directed, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation is as follows:

The Corporation suspended all activities by FV Pharma Inc. (“FV Pharma”) as of September 2020 and in May 2022, substantially all of the assets of FV Pharma were sold. FV Pharma has accumulated historic tax losses and continues to exist as an entity wholly owned by the Corporation. Upon termination of FSD-PEA, Prismic did not have any assets or remaining liabilities other than outstanding notes payable which were assumed on the acquisition of Prismic and are classified as current liabilities of the Corporation. Prismic has accumulated historic tax losses and continues to exist as an entity wholly owned by the Corporation.

Reportable Segments

The Corporation has two reportable segments, Biotechnology and Strategic Investments. The Corporation’s Biotechnology segment is focused on the research and development of its pipeline of compounds and drug candidates. The Biotechnology segment is pre-revenue. Expenses incurred primarily relate to fees paid to external Contract Research Organizations for carrying out studies and clinical trials. General and administrative fees include professional fees, consulting fees, salaries and benefits, insurance, and other general and administrative costs. Depreciation and amortization expense is related to the Corporation’s portfolio of acquired intangible assets, right-of-use assets, and equipment.

The Corporation’s Strategic Investment segment generates interest income earned on a portfolio of finance receivables, which represent loans secured by residential property, with FSD Strategic Investments having a first or second collateral mortgage on the secured property for a sum equal to the interest payments plus the principal amount. FSD Strategic Investments earns interest through fixed rate lending arrangements that have an average term to maturity of two years from the date of issuance.

Strategic Investments has historically not incurred any significant operating expenditures as the loans are arranged through a third-party financing intermediary, with the borrower being responsible for covering all administrative related costs.

The Board has developed criteria for making investments decisions, as follows: (i) the maximum loan-to-value ratio is 55%; (ii) the maximum dollar value for any given secured loan is not to exceed C$1,200,000; and (iii) the residential and commercial property must be located in the Greater Toronto Area. Before issuing a secured loan, the Corporation undertakes extensive due diligence to ensure that adequate care is exercised in the funding of mortgage or loan transactions, including checking personal identification, verifying title documents, attending the property, or conducting an on-site appraisal to satisfy as to the value of the property, and reviewing application and supporting documentation with legal counsel.

Research and Development

As at the date of this prospectus supplement, the Corporation has not generated any revenue from the sale of pharmaceutical drugs or other products. The Corporation is focused on development of pharmaceutical drugs and other products, through the research and development of novel chemical compounds and delivery mechanisms and the study of such compounds in preclinical studies. The Corporation’s preclinical studies are conducted via the various CROs and contract manufacturers it has engaged, including Ingenu CRO (a Cannvalate Pty Ltd Company) (“Ingenu”), BioPharma Services Inc. (“BioPharma”), and Vibrant Pharma Inc. (“Vibrant Pharma”). Each of Ingenu, BioPharma, and Vibrant Pharma are CROs that, in the ordinary course of the Corporation’s business, have entered into service agreements with the Corporation to provide services related to the Corporation’s preclinical studies and/or the manufacture of its various chemical compounds. The Corporation is not dependent on any particular third party contracts. Although each of the CROs will be involved in the synthesis, or testing thereof, for the Corporation, none of these agreements allows for the various CROs to utilize any of the Corporation’s intellectual property, including its patents, formulae, trade secrets, or processes, for their own purposes. The pharmaceutical industry is a competitive and, in the event that one, or all, of these contractual relationships become unsatisfactory, the Corporation does not anticipate having difficulty retaining other services providers to perform similar services. The Corporation does not anticipate generating any revenue from any of these, or any other, service agreements.

The Corporation anticipates growing its pipeline of pharmaceutical drugs and other products through its research, development, proprietary discovery programs, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, and collaborative development agreements. The Corporation has sought protection for the intellectual property rights generated by its research and development activities through patent applications and as trade secrets. The Corporation anticipates that as these programs mature it will file additional patent applications and details about these programs will be disclosed at such time. The Corporation further anticipates that existing patent applications will result in successful patent grants by the respective intellectual property regulators of each jurisdiction in which the Corporation has submitted such applications.

The Corporation’s research and development activities (including such activities conducted by third party contractors) are conducted in strict compliance with the regulations of federal, state, local and regulatory agencies in Canada, Australia, and the United States. These regulatory authorities regulate, among other things, the research, manufacture, promotion, and distribution of drugs in specific jurisdictions under applicable laws and regulations.

As the Corporation generates new data it will continue to file or acquire additional patent applications through the Corporation’s development program.

Regulatory Environment

The Corporation is currently focused on obtaining regulatory approvals in the United States, Canada, and Australia for the drug candidates it is developing through FSD BioSciences Inc. (“FSD Biosciences”), Lucid and FSD Pharma Australia Pty Ltd. (“FSD Australia”). In the future, the Corporation may consider seeking approvals for these drug candidates in other countries. The following is a summary of the FDA, Health Canada, and the Australian Therapeutics Goods Administration (“TGA”) approval process that the Corporation and/or its related entities are undertaking with each of the Product Candidates in the United States, Canada and Australia. Assuming the Corporation is successful in obtaining the requisite approvals from the FDA, TGA or Health Canada (together the “Regulatory Approvals”) pursuant to the process set out below, it may decide to seek comparable approvals in other countries, which would be subject to different and additional regulatory requirements. Obtaining Regulatory Approval often takes several years, involves the expenditure of substantial resources, and depends on a number of factors, including the severity of the disease in question, the availability of alternative treatments, and the risks and benefits demonstrated in clinical trials.

The Corporation will be subject to extensive regulations while it focuses on gaining Regulatory Approvals for treatments it is developing with each of the Product Candidates. The United States Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act of 1938, as amended, Public Health Service Act (United States), Therapeutic Goods Act 1989 (Cth) (Australia), and other federal, provincial and state statutes and regulations, govern, among other things, the research, development, testing, manufacture, storage, recordkeeping, approval, labelling, promotion and marketing, distribution, post-approval monitoring and reporting, sampling, and import and export of pharmaceutical product candidates for their respective jurisdictions. Failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements may subject the Corporation to a variety of administrative or judicial sanctions, such as application refusals, warning or untitled letters, product candidate recalls, product candidate seizures, total or partial suspension of production or distribution, injunctions, fines, civil penalties, and criminal prosecution.

Pharmaceutical product candidate development in the United States, Canada and Australia typically involves pre-clinical laboratory and animal tests, followed by a submission to commence clinical testing to, as applicable:

If:

then clinical trials for the drug may commence in the respective jurisdiction assuming all other requirements are met (such as institution review board approval, informed consents and any additional approvals related to the use of controlled substances). The satisfaction of pre-market approval requirements typically takes many years. The actual time required may vary substantially based upon the type, complexity and novelty of the product candidate or the diseases a product candidate targets.

Before testing any compound in human patients in the U.S., Canada or Australia, a company must generate extensive preclinical data. Preclinical testing generally includes laboratory evaluation of product chemistry and formulation, as well as toxicological and pharmacological studies in several animal species to assess the toxicity and dosing of the product candidate and its potential safety and efficacy. The conduct of the pre-clinical tests must comply with government regulations and requirements, including good laboratory practices. For example, in the U.S., certain animal studies must be performed in compliance with the FDA’s Good Laboratory Practice regulations and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal Welfare Act.

A Regulatory Approval must be in effect before human clinical trials may commence in the U.S., Canada, or Australia, respectively. The results of pre-clinical testing and any previous human experience with the investigational drug are submitted to the FDA, Health Canada or TGA as part of the Regulatory Approval process in each jurisdiction, along with other information, including information about product candidate chemistry, manufacturing and controls, information about the study investigator, and a proposed clinical trial protocol.

There can be regulatory barriers to obtaining an effective Regulatory Approval based on FDA’s, Health Canada’s or TGA’s respective review of the investigative drug and, where applicable, its classification as a known controlled substance.

Clinical trials involve the administration of the product candidate that is the subject of the Regulatory Approval to healthy volunteers or study participants with the disease or condition being studied under the supervision of a qualified investigator. Clinical trials to support a new drug application (“NDA”) for marketing approval are typically conducted in three sequential phases, but the phases may overlap.

There is a process under which clinical trials may begin and involve the administration of the product candidate that is the subject of the Regulatory Approval to healthy volunteers or patients under the supervision of a qualified investigator. Clinical trials must be conducted: (i) in compliance with applicable government regulations, (ii) in compliance with Good Clinical Practice, an international standard meant to protect the rights and health of patients and to define the roles of clinical trial sponsors, administrators, and monitors, and (iii) under protocols detailing the objectives of the trial, the parameters to be used in monitoring safety and the effectiveness criteria to be evaluated. Each protocol involving testing on patients and subsequent protocol amendments must be submitted to the FDA, Health Canada and/or TGA as part of the Regulatory Approval process, as applicable.

The FDA, Health Canada or TGA may order the temporary, or permanent, discontinuation of a clinical trial at any time or impose other sanctions if it believes that the clinical trial either is not being conducted in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements or presents an unacceptable risk to the clinical trial patients. The trial protocol and informed consent information for patients in clinical trials must also be submitted to an institutional review board (“IRB”) for approval. An IRB may also require the clinical trial at the site to be halted, either temporarily or permanently, for failure to comply with the IRB’s requirements or may impose other conditions.

If the trials for any of its Product Candidates are successful, the Corporation may pursue additional trials as required and may ultimately pursue a new drug application, which may involve applying for additional Regulatory Approvals required to market the Corporation’s synthetic treatments in the United States or in other jurisdictions. There is no assurance that the Corporation will be successful in receiving the required approvals, and the clinical trials are subject to numerous risks.

Emerging Growth Company

We are an “emerging growth company”, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”). As an emerging growth company, we are eligible, and have elected, to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. These include, but are not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation (to the extent applicable to a foreign private issuer).

We could remain an emerging growth company until the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the consummation of our initial public offering. However, if our annual gross revenue is $1.235 billion or more, or our non-convertible debt issued within a three-year period exceeds $1 billion, or the market value of our ordinary shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million on the last day of the second fiscal quarter of any given fiscal year, we would cease to be an emerging growth company as of the last day of that fiscal year.

Foreign Private Issuer

We are a “foreign private issuer” as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). As a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we are exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act, including the proxy rules, which impose certain disclosure and procedural requirements for proxy solicitations. Moreover, we are not required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as frequently or as promptly as domestic U.S. companies with securities registered under the Exchange Act, and we are not required to comply with Regulation FD, which imposes certain restrictions on the selective disclosure of material information. In addition, our officers, directors, and principal shareholders will be exempt from the reporting and “short-swing” profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules under the Exchange Act with respect to their purchases and sales of our ordinary shares.

The Nasdaq Listing Rules allow foreign private issuers, such as us, to follow home country corporate governance practices (in our case Canadian) in lieu of the otherwise applicable Nasdaq corporate governance requirements. In accordance with this exception, we follow Canadian corporate governance practices in lieu of certain of the Nasdaq corporate governance standards, as more fully described in our Annual Report, which is incorporated herein by reference. See “Where You Can Find Additional Information”.

Recent Developments

Litigation with GBB Drink Lab, Inc.

In May 2023, GBB Drink Lab, Inc. (“GBB”) filed a lawsuit against the Corporation alleging a material breach of a mutual nondisclosure agreement and trade secret misappropriation in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida (“Court”). The Corporation has categorically denied these allegations and filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, which was denied by the Court on January 8, 2024. The Corporation is proceeding with discovery, during which it is confident that it will be able to demonstrate not only that GBB's claims have no merit, but that this lawsuit, which baselessly demands $53 million from the Corporation, is nothing more than an effort to harm the Corporation after it decided not to acquire GBB in 2022. On August 24, 2023, the parties filed a proposed joint scheduling report with the Court, which set forth various deadlines that would govern this action. Under the proposed joint schedule, which still needs to be approved by the Court, the case would be trial-ready by November 30, 2024.

Change in Directors

In January 2024, the Corporation announced the appointment of Dr. Sanjiv Chopra, MD, to its Board of Directors, to replace Nitin Kausha, who resigned from his position on the Board.

Dr. Sanjiv Chopra, MD, is Professor of Medicine and served as Faculty Dean for Continuing Medical Education at Harvard Medical School for 12 years. He serves as a Marshall Wolf Distinguished Clinician Educator Brigham and Women's Hospital. Dr. Chopra has more than 170 publications and ten books to his credit. Dr. Chopra is Editor-in-Chief of the Hepatology Section of UpToDate, the most widely used electronic textbook in the world subscribed to by more than 1.5 million physicians in 195 countries. He is a sought-after inspirational speaker across the United States and abroad, addressing diverse audiences on topics related to medicine, leadership, happiness, and living with purpose.

Our current Board of Directors consists of Zeeshan Saeed, Executive Co-Chairman, Anthony Durkacz, Executive Co-Chairman, Dr. Eric Hoskins, Dr. Sanjiv Chopra, M.D., Mike Zapolin and Adnan Bashir.

Dr. Raza Bokhari

On July 15, 2021, the Corporation’s former CEO, Dr. Raza Bokhari, filed an arbitration notice seeking C$30.2 million for breach of contract, severance, and damages, along with C$500,000 for punitive damages and legal fees. Dr. Bokhari had been placed on administrative leave after the May 14, 2021 shareholder meeting and was terminated for cause on July 27, 2021, following an investigation by a special committee. The arbitration concluded in August 2022 with Dr. Raza Bokhari’s claims dismissed. Dr. Bokhari was also ordered to repay certain funds to the Corporation and cover arbitration costs in the amount of approximately C$2.8M plus interest. On December 9, 2022, Dr. Bokhari sought to set aside the award, citing unfair treatment and inadequate reasoning. On October 4, 2023, the Corporation announced that the Ontario Superior Court of Justice had dismissed Dr. Bokhari’s motion to set aside the arbitration award. Dr. Bokhari was required to put up C$150,000 as security for costs before the motion was heard, which he has forfeited. In addition, Dr. Bokhari was ordered to pay C$175,000 to cover the Corporation’s legals costs for his failed set aside motion.

On October 13, 2023, Dr. Bokhari served notices of motion on the Corporation for leave to appeal the set aside and enforcement orders issued by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice’s on October 4, 2023. On December 1, 2023, the Corporation filed a petition to confirm the arbitration award in the United States District Court for Eastern District of Pennsylvania. On December 15, 2023, the Corporation submitted a responding party’s factum to the Court of Appeal for Ontario. On February 6, 2024, the Corporation announced that the Ontario Superior Court of Justice affirmed judgment and awarded an additional C$5,000 in costs in light of Dr. Bokhari’s failed motion for leave to appeal. As of the date hereof, the litigation is ongoing. 

Interest-Bearing Mortgage Investment with the CEO

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, FSD Strategic Investments entered into a secured loan agreement with the Corporation’s CEO for C$1,200,000, with monthly payments of C$6,000 based on an annual interest rate of 6% and a blended rate of 7% (“Mortgage Loan”). The Mortgage Loan matures on April 26, 2025, and is part of FSD Strategic Investments’ portfolio of loans. The business purpose of the Mortgage Loan was a treasury function to earn a rate of return on excess capital held.

The Mortgage Loan was made to the CEO on the same terms and conditions that a member of the general public would receive, based on the underwriting requirements of FSD Strategic Investments. In determining the interest rate for each borrower under its portfolio of loans, FSD Strategic Investments took the following criteria into consideration: (i) their credit score; (ii) employment status; (iii) salary; (iv) property location; (v) equity on the property; and (vi) the Bank of Canada rate at the time of the mortgage.

FSD Strategic Investments secures each mortgage loan with collateral in the residential property at least equal to 55% of the value of the loan. In the case of the Mortgage Loan to the CEO, although all the other loans under FSD Strategic Investments’ portfolio of loans prior to this date were a first charge mortgage on the underlying residential property, the Mortgage Loan to the CEO was a second charge mortgage. FSD Strategic Investment determined that because the Mortgage Loan met its strict underwriting requirements and had an undertaking requirement (as described herein), it would take a second charge on the residential property. The CEO’s residential property had a Home Equity Line of Credit (“HELOC”), of which no funds have been withdrawn against the property. FSD Strategic Investment viewed this as appropriate security as the HELOC had a zero balance and the CEO undertook to FSD Strategic that the HELOC would only be used by the CEO to pay the Mortgage Loan. FSD Strategic Investment determined that this undertaking by the CEO to use the HELOC funds for payment of the Mortgage Loan provided sufficient security under the Mortgage Loan. In addition, the CEO met the underwriting requirements of FSD Strategic Investments.

Before the Board approved the Mortgage Loan, FSD Strategic Investments sought the advice of counsel to guide the Board with its decision in the Mortgage Loan transaction under US and Canadian Law. Under Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), an issuer, who is in the consumer credit business, can provide loans to its executive officers and directors that (i) are made in the ordinary course of the issuer’s consumer credit business, (ii) are of a type that is generally made available by the issuer to the public and (iii) made on market terms that are no more favorable than those offered by the issuer to the general public. “Consumer credit” generally includes credit extended to an individual primarily for personal, family or household purposes. A standard loan made to an individual to purchase his or her primary residence should normally fall within the definition of consumer credit.

The Corporation and FSD Strategic Investments believe that the Mortgage Loan complies with this exemption in that FSD Strategic Investment is in the business or providing mortgage loans and the Mortgage Loan was made in the ordinary course of business, is of a type generally made available by it to the public and is made on market terms to the CEO that are no more favorable than those offered by it to the general public. However, there is limited regulatory and legislative guidance regarding the scope of this exemption and FSD Strategic Investments cannot provide assurances that it in full compliance with United States laws. Any failure to comply with any laws and regulations, may adversely affect its business, and results of operations” See “Risk Factors – Changes in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations, may adversely affect our business, and results of operations” on page S-14 of this Supplement.

With respect to Canadian law, in completing the CEO loan transaction, the Corporation relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 on the basis that at the time the loan transaction was agreed to, neither the fair market value of the loan transaction, nor the fair market value of the consideration for the loan transaction, insofar as it involved the interested party, exceeded 25% of the Corporation’s market capitalization, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101.

THE OFFERING

(1) The number of Class B Shares that will be outstanding immediately following this offering is based on 39,376,723 shares of Class B Shares outstanding as of February 15, 2024 and excludes, as of that date: (i) 72 issued and outstanding Class A Shares convertible into Class B Shares on a 1:1 basis, (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 10,324,043 Class B Shares and (iii) options to purchase an aggregate of 3,260,615 Class B Shares.

RISK FACTORS

Prospective investors should carefully consider the risks presented in this prospectus supplement, as well as the information and risk factors contained in the accompanying prospectus and any and all other information incorporated by reference herein and therein. Other than as discussed in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, risk factors relating to our business are discussed in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 20-F for and certain other documents incorporated by reference or deemed to be incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement, which risk factors are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement.

An investment in the securities offered hereunder is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. The risks and uncertainties described or incorporated by reference herein are not the only ones the Corporation may face. Additional risks and uncertainties, including those that the Corporation is unaware of or that are currently deemed immaterial, may also become important factors that affect the Corporation and its business. If any such risks actually occur, the Corporation’s business, operations, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and prospects could be materially adversely affected.

Risks Relating to the Offering

The actual number of Class B Shares we will issue under the Sales Agreement, at any one time or in total, is uncertain.

Subject to certain limitations in the Sales Agreement and compliance with applicable law, we have the discretion to deliver instruction to the Sales Agent to sell our Class B Shares at any time throughout the term of the Sales Agreement. The number of shares that are sold through the Sales Agent after our instruction will fluctuate based on a number of factors, including the market price of our Class B Shares during the sales period, the limits we set with the Sales Agent in any instruction to sell shares, and the demand for our Class B shares during the sales period. Because the price per share of our Class B shares sold will fluctuate during this offering, it is not currently possible to predict the number of shares that will be sold or the gross proceeds to be raised in connection with those sales.

The Class B Shares offered hereby will be sold in “at the market offerings,” and investors who buy shares at different times will likely pay different prices.

Investors who purchase shares in this offering at different times will likely pay different prices, and so may experience different levels of dilution, and different outcomes in their investment results. We will have discretion, subject to market demand, to vary the timing, prices, and numbers of shares sold in this offering. Investors may experience a decline in the value of the shares they purchase in this offering as a result of sales made at prices lower than the prices they paid.

Our management will have broad discretion over the use of the net proceeds from this offering, you may not agree with how we use the proceeds, and the proceeds may not be invested successfully.

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering, and our stockholders will not have the opportunity as part of their investment decision to assess whether the net proceeds are being used appropriately. Because of the number and variability of factors that will determine our use of the net proceeds from this offering, their ultimate use may vary substantially from their currently intended use. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business. See “Use of Proceeds” of this prospectus supplement for a description of our proposed use of proceeds from this offering.

If you purchase Class B Shares sold in this offering, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of your shares. In addition, we may issue additional equity or convertible debt securities in the future, which may result in additional dilution to investors.

The offering price per Class B Share in this offering may exceed the net tangible book value per share of our Class B Shares outstanding prior to this offering. Assuming that an aggregate of 13,200,274 Class B Shares are sold during the term of the sales agreement with the Sales Agent at a price of $0.845 per share, the last reported sale price of our Class B Shares on the Nasdaq on February 15, 2024, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $11.15 million, and after deducting commissions and estimated aggregate offering expenses payable by us, you will experience immediate dilution of approximately $0.47 per share, representing the difference between our as adjusted net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2023 after giving effect to this offering and the assumed offering price. See the section titled “Dilution” of this prospectus supplement for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur if you purchase shares in this offering.

To the extent outstanding equity awards are exercised or if we issue equity-based awards, there could be further dilution to new investors. In addition, to the extent we need to raise additional capital in the future and we issue additional equity or convertible debt securities, our then existing stockholders may experience dilution and the new securities may have rights senior to those of our Class B Shares offered in this offering.

The market price of the Class B Shares could be subject to significant fluctuations and volatility.

The market price of our Class B Shares could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include, among other things, our anticipated losses in the future due to our research, and development efforts with Lucid-MS, including the costs of the Lucid-MS clinical trials, the success of our licensor, Celly Nutrition Corp. in commercializing UNBUZZD™, our operating results and cash flow, business conditions in our markets and the general state of the securities markets and the market for similar stocks, changes in capital markets that affect the perceived availability of capital to companies in our industries, governmental legislation or regulation, as well as general economic and market conditions, such as continued downturns in our economy and recessions. We cannot assure you that the market price of our Class B Shares will not decline after this offering. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that you will be able to sell your Class B Shares at a price equal to or greater than the purchase price.

If we are or become classified as a passive foreign investment company, our U.S. shareholders may suffer adverse tax consequences as a result.

Generally, for any taxable year, if at least 75% of our gross income is passive income, or at least 50% of the value of our assets is attributable to assets that produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income, including cash, we would be characterized as a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Corporation believes that it was a PFIC for the prior year ended December 31, 2023 and based on current business plans and financial expectations, the Corporation expects to be a PFIC for the current tax year.  In addition, there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, will agree with our conclusion or that the IRS would not successfully challenge our position. Fluctuations in the market price of our Class B Shares may cause us to become a PFIC for the current or subsequent taxable years because the value of our assets for the purpose of the asset test may be determined by reference to the market price of our Class B Shares. The composition of our income and assets may also be affected by how, and how quickly, we use our liquid assets. If we are a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder holds our Shares, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences may apply to such U.S. Holder. See section titled “Taxation — Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consideration – Passive Foreign Investment Company Ruless” of this prospectus.

As a foreign private issuer, we are subject to different U.S. securities laws and rules than a domestic U.S. issuer, which may limit the information publicly available to its U.S. shareholders.

We are a foreign private issuer under applicable U.S. federal securities laws and, therefore, are not required to comply with all of the periodic disclosure and current reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and related rules and regulations. As a result, we do not file the same reports that a U.S. domestic issuer would file with the SEC, although we will be required to file with or furnish to the SEC the continuous disclosure documents that we are required to file in Canada under Canadian securities laws. In addition, our officers, directors, and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and “short swing” profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Therefore, our shareholders may not know on as timely a basis when our officers, directors and principal shareholders purchase or sell our securities as the reporting periods under the corresponding Canadian insider reporting requirements are longer. In addition, as a foreign private issuer, we are exempt from the proxy rules under the Exchange Act.

If we fail to comply with the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, our Class B Shares may be delisted and the price of our Class B Shares and our ability to access the capital markets could be negatively impacted.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain compliance with the applicable Nasdaq listing requirements. If our Class B Shares are delisted from Nasdaq, it could materially reduce the liquidity of our Class B Shares and result in a corresponding material reduction in the price of our Class B Shares. In addition, delisting could harm our ability to raise capital through alternative financing sources on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and may result in the potential loss of confidence by investors, suppliers, customers and employees and fewer business development opportunities. If our Class B Shares are delisted from Nasdaq, it could be more difficult to buy or sell our Class B Shares or to obtain accurate quotations, and the price of our Class B Shares could suffer a material decline. Delisting could also impair our ability to raise capital.

Risks Relating to the Corporation

Changes in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations, may adversely affect our business, and results of operations.

We are subject to complex laws, rules and regulations affecting our domestic and international operations in Canada, the United States and Australia relating to numerous topics, including the research and development of our pharmaceutical drugs, health care and data privacy laws, labor and employment and regulatory requirements of the CSE and Nasdaq. In addition, we are required to comply with certain SEC and other legal requirements affecting public companies. Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws and regulations may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time and those changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, investments, and results of operations. In addition, a failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied, could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete our initial acquisitions, and our future results.

Although, to our knowledge, we are currently in material compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and guidelines in such jurisdictions, no assurance can be given that new laws, regulations, and guidelines will not be enacted or that existing laws, regulations and guidelines will not be interpreted or applied in a manner which could limit or curtail our operations in such jurisdictions. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Corporation entered into a Mortgage Loan with the Corporation’s CEO which is secured by a second lien on the CEO’s residential property. Although the Corporation believes this Mortgage Loan complies with the exemption contained in Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act, there can be no assurances that it complies with these regulations. There is limited regulatory guidance or legislative history as to the scope of this exemption. If the Mortgage Loan does not comply, the Corporation could be subject to fines, penalties and/or other regulatory actions, which would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. Furthermore, amendments to current laws, regulations and guidelines, more stringent implementation, or enforcement thereof or other unanticipated events, are beyond our control and could require extensive changes to our operations, which in turn may also result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The amount of net proceeds from this offering will depend upon the number of our Class B Shares sold and the market prices at which they are sold. If the full amount of $11,154,232 covered by this prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus is sold, the net proceeds to us will be approximately $10.67 million. The net proceeds will represent the gross proceeds after deducting the applicable commission payable to the Sales Agent under the Sales Agreement and the expenses of the distribution. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition of this offering, the actual total public offering amount, commissions, and net proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. 

We intend to use the net proceeds, if any, from this offering: (i) to fund our various clinical studies, trials, and development programs, (ii) to fund research and development, and (iii) for general corporate purposes and working capital.

Our management will retain broad discretion in the allocation and use of the net proceeds of this offering, and investors will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of these net proceeds. The precise amount, use and timing of the application of such proceeds will depend upon our funding requirements and the availability and cost of other capital.

CAPITALIZATION AND INDEBTEDNESS

The following table sets forth our total capitalization as of September 30, 2023:

The information set forth in the following table should be read in conjunction with and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the audited and unaudited financial statements dated as of September 30, 2023, and notes thereto incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.

The above discussion and table are based on 39,358,791 Class B Shares outstanding as of September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, we had (i) 2,533,488 Class B Shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options to purchase Class B Shares at a weighted average exercise price of $1.58 per share, and (ii) 10,324,043 Class B Shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding equity-classified warrants to purchase Class B Shares at a weighted average exercise price of $5.13 per share. 

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES WE ARE OFFERING

For a description of the Class B Shares offered hereby, please see the section titled “Description of Share Capital” starting on page 28 of the accompanying prospectus.

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have never paid any dividends on our Class B Shares or any of our other securities. We currently intend to retain any future earnings to finance the development and enhancement of our product candidates and to otherwise reinvest in our business, and we do not anticipate that we will declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay dividends on our Class B Shares will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, current and anticipated cash requirements and surplus, financial condition, any future contractual restrictions and financing agreement covenants, solvency tests imposed by corporate law and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant.

DILUTION

If you invest in our securities in this offering, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share of the Class B Shares in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of the Class B Shares immediately after this offering.

Our net tangible book value is the amount of our total tangible assets less our total liabilities, divided by the number of Class B Shares outstanding. As of September 30, 2023, we had a net tangible book value of $8,284,811, or $0.24 per Class B Share.

After giving effect to the sale of Class B Shares during the term of the Sales Agreement with the Sales Agent in the aggregate amount of $11,154,232 at an assumed offering price of $0.845 per share, the last reported sale price of our Class B Shares on Nasdaq on February 15, 2024, and after deducting commissions and estimated aggregate offering expenses payable by us, on an as adjusted basis assuming 52,559,065 outstanding Class B Shares, consisting of 39,358,791 shares outstanding as of September 30, 2023 and 13,200,274 shares issued in this offering, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2023 would have been approximately $19,954,416, or approximately $0.38 per Class B Share. This represents an immediate increase in the net tangible book value of approximately $0.14 per share to our existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of approximately $0.47 per share to new investors. The following table illustrates this per-share dilution:

Dilution per share to investors purchasing our Class B Shares in this offering represents the difference between the price per share to be paid for the shares sold by us in this offering and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this offering.

The above discussion and table is based on Class B Shares outstanding as of September 30, 2023 and excludes as of such date: (i) 72 issued and outstanding Class A Shares convertible into Class B Shares on a 1:1 basis, (ii) warrants to purchase an aggregate of 10,324,043 Class B Shares and (iii) options to purchase an aggregate of 2,533,488 Class B Shares.

To the extent that any equity-based awards are exercised, new options or other equity awards are issued, or if we otherwise issue additional Class B Shares or convertible debt securities in the future, there will be further dilution to new investors.

PRICE RANGE AND TRADING VOLUME

Our Class B Shares are listed on Nasdaq and on CSE under the symbol “HUGE”. The following table indicates the monthly range of high and low closing prices of our Class B Shares on NASDAQ, and the CSE and the average daily volumes traded on these exchanges during the period beginning on January 1, 2023 and ending on January 31, 2024:

Our shares are listed on the FSE Exchange under the symbol “0K9A”. Trading on the FSE market is minimal, so we have not included information on the price range and trading volume.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We have entered into the Sales Agreement with Wainwright, pursuant to which we may issue and sell from time to time our Class B Shares through Wainwright as our sales agent. Sales of the Class B Shares, if any, will be made by any method permitted that is deemed an “at the market” offering as defined in Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, including sales made directly on or through Nasdaq, the existing trading market for our common shares in the United States, sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange or otherwise, directly to Wainwright as principal, in negotiated transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, and/or in any other method permitted by law.

Wainwright will act as our agent in connection with our sale of our Class B Shares at prevailing market prices subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement as agreed upon by us and Wainwright. We will designate the number of shares which we desire to sell, the time period during which sales are requested to be made, any limitation on the number of shares that may be sold in one day and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement, Wainwright will use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices and applicable laws and regulations to sell on our behalf all of the Class B Shares requested to be sold by us. We or Wainwright may suspend the offering of the Class B Shares being made through Wainwright under the Sales Agreement at any time upon proper notice to the other party. We are not offering to sell, or seeking offers to buy, Class B Shares in Canada or through the facilities of the CSE or any other exchange or market in Canada.

Settlement for sales of Class B Shares will occur on the second business day following the date on which any sales are made (or such shorter settlement cycle as may be in effect pursuant to Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act from time to time), or on some other date that is agreed upon by us and Wainwright in connection with a particular transaction, in return for payment of the net proceeds to us. Sales of our Class B Shares as contemplated in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus will be settled through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company or by such other means as we and Wainwright may agree upon. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust, or similar arrangement.

We will pay Wainwright a cash commission of 3.0% of the gross sales price of the Class B Shares that Wainwright sells pursuant to the Sales Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Sales Agreement, we agreed to reimburse Wainwright for the reasonable fees and expenses of its legal counsel incurred in connection with entering into the transactions contemplated by the Sales Agreement in an amount not to exceed $50,000 in the aggregate, in addition to up to $2,500 per quarterly due diligence update session conducted in connection with this offering for Wainwright’s counsel’s fees. We will report at least quarterly the number of Class B Shares sold through Wainwright under the Sales Agreement, the net proceeds to us and the compensation paid by us to Wainwright in connection with the sales of Class B Shares.

In connection with the sales of Class B Shares on our behalf, Wainwright will be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the compensation paid to Wainwright will be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed in the Sales Agreement to provide indemnification and contribution to Wainwright against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

The offering of our Class B Shares pursuant to this prospectus supplement will terminate upon the earlier of the sale of all of our Class B Shares provided for in this prospectus supplement or termination of the Sales Agreement as permitted therein.

To the extent required by Regulation M, Wainwright will not engage in any market making activities involving our Class B Shares while the offering is ongoing under this prospectus supplement.

Wainwright and certain of its affiliates may in the future engage in investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with us or our affiliates. Wainwright and such affiliates may in the future receive customary fees and expenses for these transactions.

This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus may be made available in electronic format on a website maintained by Wainwright, and Wainwright may distribute this prospectus and the accompanying prospectus electronically. The foregoing does not purport to be a complete statement of the terms and conditions of the Sales Agreement. A copy of the Sales Agreement is included as an exhibit to our Report on Form 6-K filed with the SEC and incorporated by reference into the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus form a part. See “Where You Can Find Additional Information” and “Documents Incorporated By Reference”.

CERTAIN CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is, as of the date of this prospectus supplement, a summary of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the regulations thereunder (collectively, the "Tax Act") generally applicable to an investor who acquires Class B Shares pursuant to the offering as a beneficial owner and who, (A) for the purposes of the Tax Act and at all relevant times, (i) is not, and is not deemed to be, resident in Canada, (ii) deals at arm's length with the Corporation and the Sales Agent, (iii) is not affiliated with the Corporation or the Sales Agent, (iv) acquires and holds the Class B Shares as capital property, (v) does not use or hold any of the Class B Shares in the course of carrying on, or otherwise in connection with, a business carried on or deemed to be carried on in Canada, (vi) is not a "registered non-resident insurer" or "authorized foreign bank" (each as defined in the Tax Act), or other holder of special status, and (vii) does not carry on, or is deemed to carry on, an insurance business in Canada or elsewhere, and (B) for the purposes of the Canada-U.S. Tax Convention (1980) (the "Tax Treaty"), is a resident of the United States, has never been a resident of Canada, does not have and has not had, at any time, a permanent establishment or fixed base in Canada, and who otherwise qualifies for the full benefits of the Tax Treaty. Holders who meet all of the above criteria are referred to herein as "U.S. Holders", and this summary only addresses such U.S. Holders.

This summary does not apply to a U.S. Holder: (i) that is a "financial institution" for purposes of the "mark-to-market" rules in the Tax Act; (ii) that is a "specified financial institution" (as defined in the Tax Act); (iii) that is a partnership; (iv) where an interest in such U.S. Holder would be a "tax shelter investment" (as defined in the Tax Act); (v) that has elected to determine its Canadian tax results in a foreign currency pursuant to the functional currency reporting rules in the Tax Act; (vi) that is exempt from tax under Part I of the Tax Act; (vii) that has entered or will enter into, in respect of any of the Class B Shares, a "synthetic disposition arrangement" or a "derivative forward agreement" (as those terms are defined in the Tax Act); or (viii) that will receive dividends on any Class B Shares under or as part of a "dividend rental arrangement" (as defined in the Tax Act). Such U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors to determine the particular Canadian federal income tax consequences to them of acquiring the Class B Shares.

This summary is based on the current provisions of the Tax Act in force as of the date hereof and our understanding of the administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency (the "CRA"). This summary takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the "Tax Proposals") and assumes that the Tax Proposals will be enacted in the form proposed, although no assurance can be given that the Tax Proposals will be enacted in their current form or at all. Other than the Tax Proposals, this summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any changes in law (whether by legislative, governmental, administrative or judicial decision or action) or any change in the administrative policies and assessing practices of the CRA, nor does it take into account or consider any provincial, territorial or foreign income tax considerations, which considerations may differ significantly from the Canadian federal income tax considerations discussed in this summary.

This summary is of a general nature only, is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax considerations and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed to be, legal or tax advice to any particular U.S. Holder. All investor should consult their own tax advisors with respect to their particular circumstances, and the discussion below is qualified accordingly.

Currency

For purposes of the Tax Act, all amounts relating to the acquisition, holding or disposition of the Class B Shares (including dividends, adjusted cost base and proceeds of disposition) must be expressed in Canadian dollars in general terms based on the exchange rate as quoted by the Bank of Canada for the applicable day or such other rate of exchange that is acceptable to the CRA.

Dividends

Dividends paid or credited (or deemed to be paid or credited under the Tax Act) to a U.S. Holder by us on Class B Shares are subject to Canadian withholding tax at the rate of 25% on the gross amount of the dividend unless such rate is reduced by the terms of an applicable tax treaty. Under the Tax Treaty, the rate of withholding tax on dividends paid or credited to a U.S. Holder is generally limited to 15% of the gross amount of the dividend (or 5% in the case of a U.S. Holder that is a company that beneficially owns at least 10% of our voting shares). U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors to determine their entitlement to relief under the Tax Treaty.

Dispositions of Class B Shares

A U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act in respect of a capital gain realized on the disposition or deemed disposition of a Class B Share unless the Class B Share constitutes "taxable Canadian property" to the U.S. Holder for purposes of the Tax Act and the U.S. Holder is not entitled to relief under the terms of the Tax Treaty. In addition, capital losses arising on the disposition or deemed disposition of a Class B Share will not be recognized under the Tax Act unless the Class B Share constitutes "taxable Canadian property" to the U.S. Holder for purposes of the Tax Act.

Provided the Class B Shares are listed on a "designated stock exchange" as defined in the Tax Act (which currently includes the CSE and the Nasdaq) at the time of disposition, the Class B Shares generally will not constitute taxable Canadian property to the U.S. Holder at that time unless, at any time during the 60-month period immediately preceding the disposition, the following two conditions are met concurrently: (a) one or any combination of (i) the U.S. Holder, (ii) persons with whom the U.S. Holder did not deal at arm's length, and/or (iii) partnerships in which the U.S. Holder or a person with whom the U.S. Holder did not deal at arm's length holds a membership interest (directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships) owned 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of shares of the Corporation; and (b) more than 50% of the fair market value of the shares of the Corporation was derived directly or indirectly from one or any combination of (i) real or immovable property situated in Canada, (ii) "Canadian resource properties" (as defined in the Tax Act), (iii) "timber resource properties" (as defined in the Tax Act) or (iv) an option in respect of, an interest in, or for civil law a right in any of the foregoing property, whether or not such property exists. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Class B Share may also be deemed to be taxable Canadian property to a U.S. Holder under other provisions of the Tax Act.

U.S. Holders whose Class B Shares may be taxable Canadian property should consult their own tax advisors.

CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a general summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to a U.S. Holder (as defined below) arising from and relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Class B Shares acquired pursuant to the offering.

This summary is for general information purposes only and does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all potential U.S. federal income tax considerations that may apply to a U.S. Holder arising from and relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Class B Shares. In addition, this summary does not take into account the individual facts and circumstances of any particular U.S. Holder that may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such U.S. Holder, including, without limitation, specific tax consequences to a U.S. Holder under an applicable income tax treaty. Accordingly, this summary is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, legal or U.S. federal income tax advice with respect to any U.S. Holder. This summary does not address the U.S. federal alternative minimum, U.S. federal estate and gift, U.S. state and local, and non-U.S. tax consequences to U.S. Holders of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Class B Shares. In addition, except as specifically set forth below, this summary does not discuss applicable tax reporting requirements. Each prospective U.S. Holder is urged to consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income, U.S. federal alternative minimum, U.S. federal estate and gift, U.S. state and local, and non-U.S. tax consequences relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Class B Shares.

No ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") has been requested, or will be obtained, regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Class B Shares. This summary is not binding on the IRS, and the IRS is not precluded from taking a position that is different from, and contrary to, the positions taken in this summary. In addition, because the authorities on which this summary are based are subject to various interpretations, the IRS and the U.S. courts could disagree with one or more of the conclusions described in this summary.

Scope of this Summary

This summary is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), Treasury Regulations (whether final, temporary, or proposed), published rulings of the IRS, published administrative positions of the IRS, the Convention Between Canada and the United States of America with Respect to Taxes on Income and on Capital, signed September 26, 1980, as amended (the "Canada-U.S. Tax Convention"), and U.S. court decisions that are applicable, and, in each case, as in effect, as of the date of this document. Any of the authorities on which this summary is based could be changed in a material and adverse manner at any time, and any such change could be applied retroactively. This summary does not discuss the potential effects, whether adverse or beneficial, of any proposed legislation.

For purposes of this summary, the term "U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of Class B Shares acquired pursuant to the offering that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to U.S. Holders that are subject to special provisions under the Code, including, but not limited to, U.S. Holders that: (a) are tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts, or other tax-deferred accounts; (b) are financial institutions, underwriters, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, or regulated investment companies; (c) are broker-dealers, dealers, or traders in securities or currencies that elect to apply a mark-to-market accounting method; (d) have a "functional currency" other than the U.S. dollar; (e) own Class B Shares as part of a straddle, hedging transaction, conversion transaction, constructive sale, or other arrangement involving more than one position; (f) acquire Class B Shares in connection with the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation for services; (g) hold Class B Shares other than as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment purposes); (h) are required to accelerate the recognition of any item of gross income with respect to Class B Shares as a result of such income being recognized on an applicable financial statement; or (i) own, have owned or will own (directly, indirectly, or by attribution) 10% or more of the total combined voting power or value of the outstanding shares of the Corporation. This summary also does not address the U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to U.S. Holders who are: (a) U.S. expatriates or former long-term residents of the U.S.; (b) persons that have been, are, or will be a resident or deemed to be a resident in Canada for purposes of the Tax Act; (c) persons that use or hold, will use or hold, or that are or will be deemed to use or hold Class B Shares in connection with carrying on a business in Canada; (d) persons whose Class B Shares constitute "taxable Canadian property" under the Tax Act; or (e) persons that have a permanent establishment in Canada for the purposes of the Canada-U.S. Tax Convention. U.S. Holders that are subject to special provisions under the Code, including, but not limited to, U.S. Holders described immediately above, should consult their own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income, U.S. federal alternative minimum, U.S. federal estate and gift, U.S. state and local, and non-U.S. tax consequences relating to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of Class B Shares.

If an entity or arrangement that is classified as a partnership (or other "pass-through" entity) for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Class B Shares, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such entity and the partners (or other owners) of such entity generally will depend on the activities of the entity and the status of such partners (or owners). This summary does not address the tax consequences to any such partner (or owner). Partners (or other owners) of entities or arrangements that are classified as partnerships or as "pass-through" entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences arising from and relating to the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Class B Shares.

Ownership and Disposition of Class B Shares

The following discussion is subject in its entirety to the rules described below under the heading "Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules".

Taxation of Distributions

A U.S. Holder that receives a distribution, including a constructive distribution, with respect to a Class B Share will be required to include the amount of such distribution in gross income as a dividend (without reduction for any foreign income tax withheld from such distribution) to the extent of the current or accumulated "earnings and profits" of the Corporation, as computed for U.S. federal income tax purposes. To the extent that a distribution exceeds the current and accumulated "earnings and profits" of the Corporation, such distribution will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of a U.S. Holder's tax basis in the Class B Shares and thereafter capital gain to the extent of the excess over the U.S. Holder’s tax basis, Capital gain will be taxed in the manner described below at "Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Class B Shares". The Corporation may not maintain the calculations of its earnings and profits in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles, and each U.S. Holder may have to assume that any distribution by the Corporation with respect to the Class B Shares will constitute dividend income. Dividends received on Class B Shares by corporate U.S. Holders generally will not be eligible for the "dividends received deduction". Subject to applicable limitations and provided the Corporation is eligible for the benefits of the Canada-U.S. Tax Convention or the Class B Shares are readily tradable on a United States securities market, dividends paid by the Corporation to non-corporate U.S. Holders, including individuals, generally will be eligible for the preferential tax rates applicable to long-term capital gains for dividends, provided certain holding period and other conditions are satisfied, including that the Corporation not be classified as a PFIC (as defined below) in the tax year of distribution or in the preceding tax year. The dividend rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the application of such rules.

Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Class B Shares

A U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss on the sale or other taxable disposition of Class B Shares in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (a) the amount of cash plus the fair market value of any property received and (b) such U.S. Holder's tax basis in such Class B Shares sold or otherwise disposed of. Any such gain or loss generally will be capital gain or loss, which will be long-term capital gain or loss if, at the time of the sale or other disposition, such Class B Shares are held for more than one year.

Preferential tax rates apply to long-term capital gains of a U.S. Holder that is an individual, estate, or trust. Deductions for capital losses are subject to significant limitations under the Code.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

If the Corporation were to constitute a "passive foreign investment company" ("PFIC") for any year during a U.S. Holder's holding period, then certain potentially adverse rules would affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences to a U.S. Holder resulting from the acquisition, ownership, and disposition of Class B Shares. The Corporation believes that it was a PFIC for the prior tax year ended December 31, 2023, and based on current business plans and financial expectations, the Corporation expects to be a PFIC for the current tax year. If the Corporation is a PFIC in the taxable year in which a U.S. Holder first invests in the Corporation, the adverse rules described below will apply indefinitely unless the Corporation no longer is a PFIC in a subsequent taxable year and the U.S. Holder makes a timely “purging election” as described below. No opinion of legal counsel or ruling from the IRS concerning the status of the Corporation as a PFIC has been obtained or is currently planned to be requested. However, PFIC classification is fundamentally factual in nature, generally cannot be determined until the close of the tax year in question, and is determined annually. In addition, the analysis depends, in part, on the application of complex U.S. federal income tax rules, which are subject to differing interpretations.

General PFIC Rules

In any year in which the Corporation is classified as a PFIC, a U.S. Holder will be required to file an annual report with the IRS containing such information as Treasury Regulations and/or other IRS guidance may require. In addition to penalties, a failure to satisfy such reporting requirements may result in an extension of the time period during which the IRS can assess a tax. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the requirements of filing such information returns under these rules, including the requirement to file an IRS Form 8621 annually.

The Corporation generally will be a PFIC if, after the application of certain "look-through" rules with respect to subsidiaries in which the Corporation holds at least 25% of the value of such subsidiary, for a tax year, (a) 75% or more of the gross income of the Corporation for such tax year is passive income (the "income test") or (b) 50% or more of the value of the Corporation's assets either produce passive income or are held for the production of passive income (the "asset test"), based on the quarterly average of the fair market value of such assets. "Gross income" generally includes all sales revenues less the cost of goods sold, plus income from investments and from incidental or outside operations or sources, and "passive income" generally includes, for example, dividends, interest, certain rents and royalties, certain gains from the sale of stock and securities, and certain gains from commodities transactions. Active business gains arising from the sale of commodities generally are excluded from passive income if substantially all of a foreign corporation's commodities are stock in trade or inventory, depreciable property used in a trade or business or supplies regularly used or consumed in the ordinary course of its trade or business, and certain other requirements are satisfied.

If the Corporation were a PFIC in any tax year during which a U.S. Holder held Class B Shares, and subject to a U.S. Holder making a “QEF Election” or “Mark-to-Market Election” as described below, such holder generally would be subject to special rules with respect to "excess distributions" made by the Corporation on the Class B Shares and with respect to gain from the disposition of Class B Shares. An "excess distribution" generally is defined as the excess of distributions with respect to the Class B Shares received by a U.S Holder in any tax year over 125% of the average annual distributions such U.S. Holder has received from the Corporation during the shorter of the three preceding tax years, or such U.S. Holder's holding period for the Class B Shares. Generally, a U.S. Holder would be required to allocate any excess distribution or gain from the disposition of the Class B Shares ratably over its holding period for the Class B Shares. Such amounts allocated to the year of the disposition or excess distribution would be taxed as ordinary income, and the preferential tax rates applicable to capital gains or dividends received on our Class B shares would not be available. In addition, amounts allocated to prior tax years would be taxed as ordinary income at the highest tax rate in effect for each such year and an interest charge would apply at a rate applicable to underpayments. These adverse tax consequences would not apply to a pension or profit-sharing trust or other tax-exempt organization that did not borrow funds or otherwise utilize leverage in connection with its acquisition of Class B Shares. In addition, if a non-electing U.S. Holder who is an individual dies while owning our Class B Shares, such U.S. Holder's successor generally would not receive a step-up in tax basis with respect to such Class B Shares, but instead would have a tax basis equal to the lower of the fair market value of such Class B Shares or the decedent’s tax basis in such Class B Shares.

QEF Election

The tax consequences described above upon a PFIC determination may be mitigated if a U.S. Holder makes a timely “qualified electing fund” election (a "QEF election") with respect to its interest in the PFIC, provided the Corporation provides the U.S Holder with the necessary information regarding its ordinary earnings and net capital gain. Consequently, if the Corporation is classified as a PFIC, it would likely be advantageous for a U.S. Holder to elect to treat the investment as a "qualified electing fund" (a "QEF") with respect to such U.S. Holder in the first year in which it holds Class B Shares. If a U.S. Holder makes a timely QEF election with respect to the Corporation, the electing U.S. Holder would be required in each taxable year that the Corporation is considered to be a PFIC to include in gross income (i) as ordinary income, the U.S. Holder's pro rata share of the ordinary earnings of the Corporation and (ii) as capital gain, the U.S. Holder's pro rata share of the net capital gain (if any) of the Corporation, whether or not the ordinary earnings or net capital gain are distributed. An electing U.S. Holder's basis in its Class B Shares will be increased to reflect the amount of any taxed but undistributed income. Distributions of income that had previously been taxed will result in a corresponding reduction of basis in the Class B Shares and will not be taxed again as distributions to the U.S. Holder. Gain realized from the sale of our Class B Shares covered by a QEF election would be taxed as a capital gain and the denial of the basis step-up at death described above would not apply. Generally, a QEF election must be made by the U.S. Holder in a timely filed tax return for the first taxable year in which the U.S. Holder held our Class B Shares that includes the close of our taxable year for which we met the PFIC gross income test or asset test. A separate QEF election would need to be made for any of our subsidiaries that are classified as a PFIC. A QEF election is made on IRS Form 8621.

The U.S. federal income tax on any gain from the disposition of Class B Shares or from the receipt of Excess Distributions may be greater than the tax that would apply if a timely QEF election is made. If the Corporation does not provide the required information with regard to the QEF election, U.S. Holders will not be able to make a QEF election and will, subject to the discussion of the mark-to-market election below, continue to be subject to the general PFIC rules as described above. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the advisability and availability of making a QEF election with respect to the Corporation.

Mark-to-Market Election

Alternatively, if the Corporation were to be classified as a PFIC, a U.S. Holder could also avoid certain of the general PFIC rules described above by making a timely mark-to-market election on Form 8621 (instead of a QEF election), provided the Class B Shares are treated as regularly traded on a qualified exchange or other market within the meaning of the applicable Treasury regulations. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisers regarding the potential availability and consequences of a mark-to-market election. A U.S. Holder who makes the mark-to-market election generally must include as ordinary income each year the increase in the fair market value of the Class B Shares and deduct from gross income the decrease in the value of such shares during each of its taxable years, but with losses limited to the amount of previously recognized net gains. The U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Class B Shares would be adjusted to reflect any income or loss recognized as a result of the mark-to-market election. If a mark-to-market election with respect to our Class B Shares is in effect on the date of a U.S. Holder’s death, the tax basis of the Class B Shares in the hands of a U.S. Holder who acquired them from a decedent will be the lesser of the decedent’s tax basis or the fair market value of the Class B Shares. Any gain from a sale, exchange or other disposition of the Class B Shares in any taxable year in which we are a PFIC (i.e., when we meet the gross income test or asset test described above) would be treated as ordinary income and any loss from a sale, exchange or other disposition would be treated first as an ordinary loss (to the extent of any net mark-to-market gains previously included in income) and thereafter as a capital loss. If we cease to be a PFIC, any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder on the sale or exchange of the Class B Shares would be classified as a capital gain or loss. The Class B Shares should be marketable stock as long as they are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market and are regularly traded. A mark-to-market election will not apply to the Class B Shares for any taxable year during which we are not a PFIC but will remain in effect with respect to any subsequent taxable year in which we again become a PFIC. Such election will not apply to any subsidiary that we own. Accordingly, a U.S. Holder may continue to be subject to the PFIC rules with respect to any lower-tier PFICs notwithstanding the U.S. Holder’s mark-to-market election.

Purging Election

If we are a PFIC at any time when a U.S. Holder holds our Class B Shares, we will generally continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to the U.S. Holder for all succeeding years during which the U.S. Holder holds our Class B Shares even if we cease to meet the PFIC gross income test or asset test in a subsequent year. However, if we cease to meet these tests, a U.S. Holder can avoid the continuing impact of the PFIC rules by making a special election (a Purging Election) to recognize gain by making a “deemed sale” election with respect to all of the U.S. Holder’s Class B Shares and have such Class B Shares deemed to be sold at their fair market value on the last day of the last taxable year during which we were a PFIC. Under another type of purging election, the Company will be deemed to have made a distribution to the U.S. Holder of such U.S. Holder’s pro rata share of the Company’s earnings and profits as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In order for the U.S. Holder to make this second election, the Company must also be determined to be a “controlled foreign corporation” as defined by the U.S. Tax Code (which may not be the case, but please see the Controlled Foreign Corporations section below). The shareholder makes a purging election under Code section 1298(b)(1) and regulations section 1.1298–3 on IRS Form 8621 attached to the shareholder’s tax return (including an amended return), or requests the consent of the IRS Commissioner to make a late election under Code section 1298(b)(1) and regulations section 1.1298–3(e) (late purging election) on Form 8621-A. In addition, for a U.S. Holder making such an election, a new holding period would be deemed to begin for our Class B Shares for purposes of the PFIC rules. After the Purging Election, the Class B Shares with respect to which the Purging Election was made will not be treated as shares in a PFIC unless we subsequently again become a PFIC.

Each U.S. person who is a shareholder of a PFIC generally must file an annual report (on IRS Form 8621) with the IRS containing certain information, and the failure to file such report could result in the imposition of penalties on such U.S. person and in the extension of the statute of limitations with respect to federal income tax returns filed by such U.S. person.

U.S. Holders should be aware that, for each tax year, if any, that the Corporation is a PFIC, the Corporation can provide no assurances that it will satisfy the record keeping requirements or make available to U.S. Holders the information such U.S. Holders require to make a QEF Election with respect to the Corporation or any subsidiary that also is classified as a PFIC. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the potential application of the PFIC rules to the ownership and disposition of Class B Shares, and the availability of certain U.S. tax elections under the PFIC rules.

Additional Considerations

Controlled Foreign Corporation

As a result of the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the repeal of Code section 958(b)(4), it is possible to accidentally create a controlled foreign corporation (“CFC”) without having a direct or indirect United States shareholder. Historically, Code section 958(b)(4) prevented stock owned by a foreign person from being attributed downward to a U.S. person (e.g., a partnership, corporation, trust, or estate) owned by such foreign person. Effective as of the last taxable year of a foreign corporation beginning before January 1, 2018, stock may be attributed downward from a person to a corporation if “50 percent or more in value of the stock in a corporation is owned, directly or indirectly by or such person.” As a result of the repeal of Code section 958(b)(4), it is thus possible to accidentally create CFCs without a direct or indirect United States shareholder. This is because, since the repeal, a U.S. corporation owned by a foreign parent corporation may be treated as constructively owning the stock of the foreign parent or even the foreign parent’s foreign subsidiaries (i.e., foreign brother-sister companies). The Company believes that certain case law along with the legislative intent of the repeal may substantiate that it is not a CFC, although it is possible that the IRS may disagree. In discussing the repeal of Code section 958(b)(4), the Senate amendment that was followed by the Conference Report provides: “[f]urthermore, the Senate Finance Committee explanation states that the provision is not intended to cause a foreign corporation to be treated as a controlled foreign corporation regarding a U.S. shareholder as a result of attribution of ownership under section 318(a)(3) to a U.S. person that is not a related person (within the meaning of section 954(d)(3)) to such U.S. shareholder as a result of the repeal of section 958(b)(4).” The Tax Court case of Nettie Miller v. Commissioner stands for the premise that reading the current rules strictly would result in an absurd result that the Company’s U.S. subsidiary (a non-Code section 958(a) shareholder) is treated as constructively owning the Company. Furthermore, in Rev. Rul. 74-605, the IRS concluded that a subsidiary could not be attributed ownership of its direct or indirect parent corporations for purposes of applying Code section 304. The IRS’s rationale is that if a subsidiary were treated as constructively owning its parent (or grandparent) under the constructive ownership rules (that is, Code section 318(a)(3)(C)), it would further be treated as owning its own stock. The IRS concluded that treating a subsidiary as owning its own stock would violate regulation section 1.318-1(b)(1), which provides that “a corporation shall not be considered to own its own stock by reason of section 318(a)(3)(C).” Thus, the Company may not be a CFC as a result of Rev. Rul. 74-605, Nettie Miller, and the legislative intent of the repeal of Code section 958(b)(4). It should be noted, however, that the rationale for the Company not being classified as a CFC may not extend to the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries. As such, any U.S. Holders that own 10 percent or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote of the Company, or 10 percent or more of the total value of shares of all classes of stock of the Company should consider whether the overlap rules for CFCs and PFICs apply to them pursuant to Code section 1297(d) when determining their U.S. tax obligations for the Company or any of its non-U.S. subsidiaries. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of this rule since the attribution rules related to ownership are very complex.

Additional Tax on Passive Income

Certain U.S. Holders that are individuals, estates and trusts whose income exceeds certain thresholds will be required to pay a 3.8% surtax on "net investment income" including, among other things, dividends and net gain from disposition of property (other than property held in certain trades or businesses). U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application, if any, of this tax on their ownership and disposition of Class B Shares.

Receipt of Foreign Currency

The amount of any distribution paid to a U.S. Holder in foreign currency, or on the sale, exchange, or other taxable disposition of Class B Shares, generally will be equal to the U.S. dollar value of such foreign currency based on the exchange rate applicable on the date of receipt (regardless of whether such foreign currency is converted into U.S. dollars at that time). A U.S. Holder will have a basis in the foreign currency equal to its U.S. dollar value on the date of receipt. Any U.S. Holder who converts or otherwise disposes of the foreign currency after the date of receipt may have a foreign currency exchange gain or loss that would be treated as ordinary income or loss, and generally will be U.S. source income or loss for foreign tax credit purposes. Different rules apply to U.S. Holders who use the accrual method of tax accounting. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own U.S. tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of receiving, owning, and disposing of foreign currency.

Foreign Tax Credit

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed above, a U.S. Holder that pays (whether directly or through withholding) Canadian income tax with respect to dividends paid on the Class B Shares generally will be entitled, at the election of such U.S. Holder, to receive either a deduction or a credit for such Canadian income tax. Generally, a credit will reduce a U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability on a dollar-for-dollar basis, whereas a deduction will reduce a U.S. Holder's income that is subject to U.S. federal income tax. This election is made on a year-by-year basis and applies to all foreign taxes paid (whether directly or through withholding) by a U.S. Holder during a year.

Complex limitations apply to the foreign tax credit, including the general limitation that the credit cannot exceed the proportionate share of a U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability that such U.S. Holder's "foreign source" taxable income bears to such U.S. Holder's worldwide taxable income. In applying this limitation, a U.S. Holder's various items of income and deduction must be classified, under complex rules, as either "foreign source" or "U.S. source." Generally, dividends paid by a foreign corporation should be treated as foreign source for this purpose, and gains recognized on the sale of stock of a foreign corporation by a U.S. Holder should be treated as U.S. source for this purpose, except as otherwise provided in an applicable income tax treaty, and if an election is properly made under the Code. However, the amount of a distribution with respect to the Class B Shares that is treated as a "dividend" may be lower for U.S. federal income tax purposes than it is for Canadian federal income tax purposes, resulting in a reduced foreign tax credit allowance to a U.S. Holder. In addition, this foreign tax credit limitation is calculated and applied separately with respect to specific categories of income. The foreign tax credit rules are complex, and each U.S. Holder should consult its own U.S. tax advisor regarding the foreign tax credit rules.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

Under U.S. federal income tax law and Treasury Regulations, certain categories of U.S. Holders must file information returns with respect to their investment in, or involvement in, a foreign corporation. For example, U.S. return disclosure obligations (and related penalties) are imposed on individuals who are U.S. Holders that hold certain specified foreign financial assets in excess of certain threshold amounts. The definition of specified foreign financial assets includes not only financial accounts maintained in foreign financial institutions, but also, unless held in accounts maintained by a financial institution, any stock or security issued by a non-U.S. person, any financial instrument or contract held for investment that has an issuer or counterparty other than a U.S. person and any interest in a foreign entity. U. S. Holders may be subject to these reporting requirements unless their Class B Shares are held in an account at certain financial institutions. Penalties for failure to file certain of these information returns are substantial. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the requirements of filing information returns, including the requirement to file an IRS Form 8938.

Payments made within the United States or by a U.S. payor or U.S. middleman, of dividends on, and proceeds arising from the sale or other taxable disposition of, Class B Shares will generally be subject to information reporting and backup withholding tax, at the rate of 24%, if a U.S. Holder (a) fails to furnish such U.S. Holder's correct U.S. taxpayer identification number (generally on Form W-9), (b) furnishes an incorrect U.S. taxpayer identification number, (c) is notified by the IRS that such U.S. Holder has previously failed to properly report items subject to backup withholding tax, or (d) fails to certify, under penalty of perjury, that such U.S. Holder has furnished its correct U.S. taxpayer identification number and that the IRS has not notified such U.S. Holder that it is subject to backup withholding tax. However, certain exempt persons generally are excluded from these information reporting and backup withholding rules. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the U.S. backup withholding tax rules generally will be allowed as a credit against a U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, or will be refunded, if such U.S. Holder furnishes required information to the IRS in a timely manner.

The discussion of reporting requirements set forth above is not intended to constitute a complete description of all reporting requirements that may apply to a U.S. Holder. A failure to satisfy certain reporting requirements may result in an extension of the time period during which the IRS can assess a tax, and under certain circumstances, such an extension may apply to assessments of amounts unrelated to any unsatisfied reporting requirement. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the information reporting and backup withholding rules.

THE ABOVE SUMMARY IS NOT INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE A COMPLETE ANALYSIS OF ALL TAX CONSIDERATIONS APPLICABLE TO U.S. HOLDERS WITH RESPECT TO THE ACQUISITION, OWNERSHIP, AND DISPOSITION OF CLASS B SHARES. U.S. HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE TAX CONSIDERATIONS APPLICABLE TO THEM IN THEIR OWN PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

Securities may be offered separately or together, in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined based on market conditions at the time of sale and set forth in one or more prospectus supplements (each, a “Prospectus Supplement” and together, the “Prospectus Supplements”). We may offer Securities in such amount and, in the case of the Subscription Receipts, Warrants and Units, with such terms as we may determine in light of market conditions.

The specific terms of the Securities with respect to a particular offering will be set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement and may include, where applicable, (i) in the case of the Class B Shares, the number of Class B Shares offered, the currency (which may be U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars or any other currency), the issue price and any other specific terms; (ii) in the case of Subscription Receipts, the number of Subscription Receipts offered, the currency (which may be U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars or any other currency), the issue price, the terms and procedures for the exchange of the Subscription Receipts and any other specific terms; (iii) in the case of Warrants, the designation, the number of Warrants offered, the currency (which may be U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars or any other currency), number of the Class B Shares that may be acquired upon exercise of the Warrants, the exercise price, dates and periods of exercise, adjustment procedures and any other specific terms; and (iv) in the case of Units, the designation, the number of Units offered, the offering price, the currency (which may be U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars or any other currency), terms of the Units and of the securities comprising the Units and any other specific terms.

All shelf information permitted under applicable laws to be omitted from this Prospectus will be contained in one or more Prospectus Supplements that will be delivered to purchasers together with this Prospectus, except in cases where an exemption from such delivery requirements is available. Each Prospectus Supplement will supplement this Prospectus as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement and only for the purposes of the distribution of the Securities to which the Prospectus Supplement pertains.

This Prospectus constitutes a public offering of the Securities only in those jurisdictions where they may be lawfully offered for sale and only by persons permitted to sell the Securities in those jurisdictions. We may sell the Securities directly to one or more purchasers or through underwriters, brokers, dealers, or agents. The Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities will identify each underwriter, broker, dealer or agent, as the case may be, engaged by us in connection with the offering and sale of Securities, and will set forth the terms of the offering of such Securities, including the method of distribution of such Securities, the public offering price, the proceeds to us, any fees, discounts or other compensation payable to any underwriter, broker, dealer or agent, and any other material terms of the plan of distribution.

Our issued and outstanding Class B Shares are listed and posted for trading under the trading symbol “HUGE” in Canada on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) and in the U.S. on the Nasdaq Capital Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). The Class B Shares are also listed and posted for trading on the Börse Frankfurt, or Frankfurt Stock Exchange (“FSE”), under “WKN: A2JM6M” and the trading symbol “0K9A”. On December 21, 2023, the last trading day prior to the date of this Prospectus, the closing price of the Class B Shares was C$1.26 per share on the CSE, US$0.96 per share on the Nasdaq, and €0.854 per share on the FSE. We will apply to have any Class B Shares distributed under this Prospectus listed on the CSE and the Nasdaq provided the Class B Shares are currently listed or traded on such exchanges. Any listing and admission will be subject to FSD fulfilling all of the listing requirements of the CSE and the Nasdaq, respectively. Any offering of Securities other than Class B Shares will be a new issue of Securities with no established trading market. The Class B Shares are “restricted securities” within the meaning of such term under applicable Canadian securities laws. Pursuant to General Instruction I.B.5. of Form F-3, in no event will we sell our securities in a public primary offering with a value exceeding one-third of our public float in any 12-month period so long as our public float remains below US$75 million. During the 12 calendar months prior to and including the date of this Prospectus, we have not offered or sold any securities pursuant to General Instruction I.B.5. of Form F-3.

We are an “emerging growth company” as defined by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) and, as such, we have elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements for this Prospectus and future filings.

There is currently no market for the Subscription Receipts, Warrants or Units, and purchasers may not be able to resell such Securities purchased under this Prospectus and any applicable Prospectus Supplement. This may affect the pricing of such Securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the Securities, and the extent of issuer regulation.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Readers should rely only on information contained or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus and any applicable Prospectus Supplement. We have not authorized anyone to provide the reader with different information. References to this “Prospectus” include documents incorporated by reference herein. See “Documents Incorporated by Reference”. We are not making an offer of the Securities in any jurisdiction where the offer is not permitted. Readers should not assume that the information contained in this Prospectus is accurate as of any date other than the date on the front of this Prospectus, unless otherwise noted herein or as required by law. It should be assumed that the information appearing in this Prospectus and the documents incorporated herein by reference are accurate only as of their respective dates. Our business, operations, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and prospects may have changed since those dates.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The information provided in this Prospectus and any Prospectus Supplement, including information incorporated by reference, contains certain “forward-looking information” or “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of United States securities laws (collectively, “Forward-Looking Statements”). Forward-Looking Statements relate to future events or future performance, business prospects or opportunities of the Corporation that are based on forecasts of future results, estimates of amounts not yet determined and assumptions of management made in light of management’s experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments. All statements other than statements of historical fact may be Forward-Looking Statements.

Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance are not statements of historical fact and may be Forward-Looking Statements. Forward-Looking Statements are often, but not always, identified by words or phrases such as “hope”, “would”, “seek”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “plan”, “continue”, “estimate”, “will”, “predict”, “intend”, “forecast”, “future”, “target”, “project”, “capacity”, “could”, “should”, “might”, “focus”, “proposed”, “scheduled”, “outlook”, “potential”, “may” or similar expressions and includes suggestions of future outcomes, including, but not limited to statements about: discussions concerning the Corporation’s exploration of near-term funding strategies; the Corporation’s plans to advance the research and development of its drug candidates (the “Product Candidates”) to commercialization through studies and clinical trials, including anticipated timing and associated costs; the application and the costs associated with such planned trials, and the Corporation’s ability to obtain required funding and the terms and timing thereof; the expansion of our product offering(s), our business objectives and the expected impacts of previously announced acquisitions and developments; the investigational new drug application process for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and Health Canada, or comparable regulatory authority, application process and any review thereof and its effects on our business objectives. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on Forward-Looking Statements as the Corporation’s actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed or implied.

The Corporation has made certain assumptions with respect to the Forward-Looking Statements regarding, among other things: the Corporation’s ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations and obtain financing, if needed, on acceptable terms or at all; the general economic, financial market, regulatory and political conditions in which the Corporation operates; the interest of potential purchasers in the Corporation’s Product Candidates; anticipated and unanticipated costs; the government regulation of the Corporation’s activities and Product Candidates; the timely receipt of any required regulatory approvals; the Corporation’s ability to obtain qualified staff, equipment and services in a timely and cost efficient manner; the Corporation’s ability to conduct operations in a safe, efficient and effective manner; and the Corporation’s expansion plans and timeframe for completion of such plans.

Although the Corporation believes that the expectations and assumptions on which the Forward-Looking Statements are based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the Forward-Looking Statements, because no assurance can be given that such statements will prove to be correct. Since Forward-Looking Statements address future events and conditions, by their very nature they involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially and adversely from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors and risks. These include, but are not limited to:

The Corporation cautions that the foregoing list of important risk factors and uncertainties is not exhaustive. Although the Corporation has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in Forward-Looking Statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated, intended, or projected. There is no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on Forward-Looking Statements. You should carefully consider the matters as further discussed under the heading “Risk Factors”.

Those other risks discussed in the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023 (the “2022 Annual Report”), under the headings “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Item 3. Key Information-D. Risk Factors” and in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations dated March 31, 2023 for the year ended December 31, 2022 under the heading “Forward-Looking Information” are incorporated by referenced in this Prospectus. Any Forward-Looking Statement is made only as of the date of this Prospectus or the applicable document incorporated by reference into this Prospectus. Except as required by applicable securities law, we undertake no obligation to update publicly or otherwise revise any Forward-Looking Statements or the foregoing list of factors affecting those statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise or the foregoing lists of factors affecting this information.

RISK FACTORS

Prospective investors in a particular offering of Securities should carefully consider the risks presented in this Prospectus, as well as the information and risk factors contained in the Prospectus Supplement relating to that offering and any and all other information incorporated by reference in this Prospectus. Other than as discussed in this Prospectus, risk factors relating to our business are discussed in our 2022 Annual Report and FY 2022 MD&A, and certain other documents incorporated by reference or deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Prospectus, which risk factors are incorporated by reference into this Prospectus.

An investment in the Securities offered hereunder is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. The risks and uncertainties described or incorporated by reference herein are not the only ones the Corporation may face. Additional risks and uncertainties, including those that the Corporation is unaware of or that are currently deemed immaterial, may also become important factors that affect the Corporation and its business. If any such risks actually occur, the Corporation’s business, operations, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and prospects could be materially adversely affected.

Absence of a public market for certain of the securities

There is no public market for the Warrants, Subscription Receipts or Units and, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Corporation does not intend to apply for listing of the Warrants, Subscription Receipts or Units on any securities exchanges. If the Warrants, Subscription Receipts or Units are traded after their initial issuance, they may trade at a discount from their initial offering prices depending on prevailing interest rates (as applicable), the market for similar securities and other factors, including general economic conditions and our financial condition. There can be no assurance as to the liquidity of the trading market for the Warrants, Subscription Receipts or Units, or that a trading market for these securities will develop at all.

Dilution of the percentage ownership of the Corporation’s stockholders

Future sales and issuances of the Corporation’s Class B Shares or rights to purchase Class B Shares, including pursuant to the Corporation’s equity incentive plans, could result in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of the Corporation’s stockholders and could cause the Corporation’s stock price to fall. The Corporation expects that significant additional capital may be needed in the future to continue its planned operations, including conducting clinical trials, commercialization efforts, expanded research and development activities, potential acquisitions, in-licenses, or collaborations and costs associated with operating a public company. To raise capital, the Corporation may sell Class B Shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in one or more transactions at prices and in a manner it determines from time to time. If the Corporation sells Class B Shares, convertible securities or other equity securities in more than one transaction, investors may be materially diluted by subsequent sales. Such sales may also result in material dilution to the Corporation’s existing stockholders, and new investors could gain rights, preferences and privileges senior to the holders of our Class B Shares, including Class B Shares sold in this offering upon exercise of Warrants.

The Corporation has no history of revenue

To date, the Corporation has generated no product revenue and cannot predict when and if it will generate product revenue. The Corporation’s ability to generate product revenue and ultimately become profitable depends upon its ability, alone or with partners, to successfully develop its product candidates, obtain regulatory approval, and commercialize products, including any of its current product candidates, or other product candidates that it may develop, in-license or acquire in the future. The Corporation expects its research and development expenses to increase in connection with its ongoing activities, particularly as it advances its product candidates through clinical trials.

Exposure to financial risk related to fluctuation of foreign exchange rates

The Corporation may be adversely affected by foreign currency fluctuations. To date, the Corporation has been primarily funded through issuances of equity and from interest income on funds available for investment, some of which are denominated in U.S. dollars. Also, a significant portion of its expenditures are in other currencies, and the Corporation is therefore subject to foreign currency fluctuations which may, from time to time, impact its financial position and results of operations.

The Corporation could be liable for fraudulent or illegal activity by its employees, contractors and consultants resulting in significant financial losses to claims against the Corporation

The Corporation is exposed to the risk that its employees, independent contractors and consultants may engage in fraudulent or other illegal activity. Misconduct by these parties could include intentional, reckless and/or negligent conduct or disclosure of unauthorized activities to the Corporation that violates: (i) government regulations; (ii) manufacturing standards; (iii) federal and provincial healthcare fraud and abuse laws and regulations; or (iv) laws that require the true, complete and accurate reporting of financial information or data. It is not always possible for the Corporation to identify and deter misconduct by its employees and other third parties, and the precautions taken by the Corporation to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses or in protecting the Corporation from governmental investigations or other actions or lawsuits stemming from a failure to be in compliance with such laws or regulations. If any such actions are instituted against the Corporation, and it is not successful in defending itself or asserting its rights, those actions could have a significant impact on the Corporation’s business, including the imposition of civil, criminal and administrative penalties, damages, monetary fines, contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and future earnings, and curtailment of the Corporation’s operations, any of which could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Employee Misconduct

Notwithstanding having established an insider trading policy and code of ethics and business conduct, the Corporation is exposed to the risk of employee fraud or other misconduct. Misconduct by employees could include failures to comply with Health Canada and the FDA regulations, provide accurate information to Health Canada and the FDA, comply with manufacturing standards the Corporation has established, comply with federal and provincial healthcare fraud and abuse laws and regulations, report financial information or data accurately or disclose unauthorized activities to the Corporation. In particular, sales, marketing, and business arrangements in the healthcare industry are subject to extensive laws and regulations intended to prevent fraud, kickbacks, self-dealing, and other abusive practices. These laws and regulations may restrict or prohibit a wide range of pricing, discounting, marketing and promotion, sales commission, customer incentive programs and other business arrangements. Employee misconduct could also involve the improper use of information obtained in the course of clinical trials, which could result in regulatory sanctions and serious harm to the Corporation’s reputation. If any such actions are instituted against the Corporation, and the Corporation is not successful in defending itself or asserting its rights, those actions could have a substantial impact on the Corporation’s business and results of operations, including the imposition of substantial fines or other sanctions.

Uninsured or uninsurable risk

The Corporation may become subject to liability for risks which are uninsurable or against which the Corporation may opt out of insuring due to the high cost of insurance premiums or other factors. The payment of any such liabilities would reduce the funds available for usual business activities. Payment of liabilities for which insurance is not carried may have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s financial position and operations.

Future Losses and Lack of Profitability

The Corporation has historically incurred losses from its operating activities. The Corporation believes that operating losses will continue as it is planning to incur significant costs associated with its research and development initiatives. The Corporation expects that losses will fluctuate from quarter to quarter and year to year, and that such fluctuations may be substantial. The Corporation cannot predict when it will become profitable, if at all.

Required Additional Financing

The Corporation anticipates requiring additional financing, including through issue and sale of equity and/or debt securities. There can be no assurance that the Corporation will be able to obtain necessary financing in a timely manner or on acceptable terms, if at all. If the Corporation is unable to obtain such additional financing, any investment in the Corporation may be lost. In such event, the probability of resale of the Securities purchased would be diminished.

Government Regulation 

The processing, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, advertising and distribution of the Corporation’s planned products is subject to regulation by one or more governmental authorities, and various agencies of the federal, provincial, state and localities in which our products are sold. These government authorities may attempt to regulate any of our products that fall within their jurisdiction. Such governmental authorities may determine that a particular product or product ingredient presents an unacceptable health risk and may determine that a particular statement of nutritional support that we want to use is an unacceptable claim. Such a determination would prevent the Corporation from marketing particular products or using certain statements of nutritional support on its products. The Corporation also may be unable to disseminate third-party literature that supports its products if the third-party literature fails to satisfy certain requirements. In addition, government authorities could require the Corporation to remove a particular product from the market. Any recall or removal would result in additional costs to the Corporation, including lost revenues from any products that we are required to remove from the market, any of which could be material. Any such product recalls or removals could lead to liability, substantial costs and reduced growth prospects, all of which could be material.

The Corporation may not be able to develop its products, which could prevent it from ever becoming profitable

If the Corporation cannot successfully develop, manufacture, sell and distribute its products, or if the Corporation experiences difficulties in the development process, such as capacity constraints, quality control problems or other disruptions, the Corporation may not be able to develop market-ready commercial products at acceptable costs, which would adversely affect the Corporation’s ability to effectively enter the market. A failure by the Corporation to achieve a low-cost structure through economies of scale or improvements in cultivation and manufacturing processes would have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s commercialization plans and the Corporation’s business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

Inability to complete development and commercialization of product candidates or develop new product candidates

As a research and development company, the Corporation expects to spend substantial funds to continue the research, development and testing of its product candidates and to prepare to commercialize products subject to approval of Health Canada in Canada, the FDA in the United States and similar approvals in other jurisdictions. The Corporation will also require significant additional funds if it expands the scope of its current clinical plans or if it were to acquire any new assets and advance their development. Therefore, for the foreseeable future, the Corporation will have to fund all of its operations and development expenditures from cash on hand, equity financings, through collaborations with other biotechnology or pharmaceutical companies or through financings from other sources. If it does not succeed in raising additional funds on acceptable terms, the Corporation might not be able to complete planned preclinical studies and clinical trials or pursue and obtain approval of any product candidates from Health Canada, the FDA and other regulatory authorities. It is possible that future financing will not be available or, if available, may not be on favorable terms. The availability of financing will be affected by the achievement of the Corporation’s corporate goals, the results of scientific and clinical research, the ability to obtain regulatory approvals, the state of the capital markets generally and with particular reference to drug development companies, the status of strategic alliance agreements and other relevant commercial considerations. If adequate funding is not available, the Corporation may be required to delay, reduce or eliminate one or more of its product development programs, or obtain funds through corporate partners or others who may require the Corporation to relinquish significant rights to product candidates or obtain funds on less favorable terms than the Corporation would otherwise accept. To the extent that external sources of capital become limited or unavailable or available on onerous terms, the Corporation’s intangible assets and its ability to continue its clinical development plans may become impaired, and the Corporation’s assets, liabilities, business, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially or adversely affected.

Third Party Suppliers

We outsource the manufacture of our products to third parties. Such third parties in turn source raw materials in order to produce our products. The availability of raw materials as well as variations in the price of raw materials may therefore increase the Corporation’s operating costs. The resulting effect on the Corporation’s operating profit margin depends on, among other things, the Corporation’s ability to increase the prices of its finished products in the context of a competitive market. Fluctuations in raw material prices may therefore increase or decrease the Corporation’s operating profit margin. Price increases may also result in downward pressure on sales volume. Furthermore, the Corporation’s third party manufacturer(s) will be competing with other producers and manufacturers to secure raw materials, and such producers or manufacturers may, because of a variety of factors including but not limited to their relationships with suppliers, size, and competitive position within our industry be able to secure raw materials before the Corporation’s manufacturer(s) could secure such material, or may push the prices of raw materials higher because of such producers’ or other manufacturers’ demand for raw materials that the Corporation also requires. Potential delays in the Corporation’s or any of its third-party manufacturer’s ability to secure raw materials could undermine the Corporation’s commitments to produce and deliver its products to distributors, which could undermine market share, revenue, and hence profitability. 

Limited Number of Products

The Corporation’s business is focused on the production and distribution of biopharmaceutical products. If such products do not achieve sufficient market acceptance, it will be difficult for us to achieve profitability. The Corporation’s revenues are expected to derive almost exclusively from sales of biopharmaceutical products, and the Corporation expects that its biopharmaceutical products will account for substantially all of its revenue for the foreseeable future. If the biopharmaceutical market declines or biopharmaceutical products fail to achieve substantially greater market acceptance than they currently enjoy, the Corporation will not be able to grow its revenues sufficiently for it to achieve consistent profitability. Even if products to be distributed by the Corporation conform to international safety and quality standards, sales could be adversely affected if consumers in target markets lose confidence in the safety, efficacy, and quality of biopharmaceutical products. Adverse publicity about biopharmaceutical products that the Corporation sells may discourage consumers from buying products distributed by the Corporation.

Brand Awareness

The Corporation’s brand is very new and brand awareness has not been achieved inside or outside Canada and the United States. There is no assurance that the Corporation will be able to achieve brand awareness in any of the regions it operates in, or anywhere else. In addition, the Corporation must develop successful marketing, promotional and sales programs in order to sell its products. If the Corporation is not able to develop successful marketing, promotional and sales programs, then such failure will have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, and operating results.

Development of New Products

The Corporation’s success will depend, in part, on its ability to develop, introduce and market new and innovative products. If there is a shift in consumer demand, the Corporation must meet such demand through new and innovative products or else its business will fail. The Corporation’s ability to develop, market and produce new products is subject to it having substantial capital. There is no assurance that the Corporation will be able to develop new and innovative products or have the capital necessary to develop such products.

The Corporation’s Industry is an Intensely Competitive Market

The Corporation’s industry is highly competitive and composed of many domestic and foreign companies. The Corporation has experienced and expects to continue to experience, substantial competition from numerous competitors whom it expects to continue to improve their products and technologies. Competitors may announce and introduce new products, services or enhancements that better meet the needs of end-users or changing industry standards, or achieve greater market acceptance due to pricing, sales channels or other factors. Competitors may be able to respond more quickly than the Corporation to changes in end-user requirements and devote greater resources to the enhancement, promotion and sale of their products. 

Commercialization and Marketing of Products

The Corporation is reliant on third-party consultants to assist in its investigating the process of developing and commercializing its biopharmaceutical products. No assurance can be given that the results of these investigations will determine that manufacturing and distribution of its products will be feasible or commercially viable. A failure to obtain satisfactory results on these investigations could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business and may adversely affect the Corporation’s ability to begin earning revenue.

Dependence on Management and Key Personnel

The Corporation has a small management team and is dependent on certain members of its management and consultants. The loss of the services of one or more of them could adversely affect the Corporation. The Corporation’s ability to maintain its competitive position is dependent upon its ability to attract and retain highly qualified managerial, specialized technical, manufacturing, sales and marketing personnel. There can be no assurance that the Corporation will be able to continue to recruit and retain such personnel. The inability of the Corporation to recruit and retain such personnel would adversely affect the Corporation’s operations and product development.

Conflicts of Interest

Certain directors and officers of the Corporation are or may become associated with other companies in the same or related industries, which may give rise to conflicts of interest. Directors who have a material interest in any person who is a party to a material contract or a proposed material contract with the Corporation are required, subject to certain exceptions, to disclose that interest and generally abstain from voting on any resolution to approve the contract. In addition, the directors and the officers are required to act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Corporation. The directors and officers of the Corporation have either other full-time employment or other business or time restrictions placed on them and accordingly, the Corporation will not be the only business enterprise of these directors and officers.

Health and Safety

Health and safety issues related to our products may arise that could lead to litigation or other action against the Corporation or to regulation of certain of its product components. The Corporation may be required to modify its recipes or packaging and may not be able to do so. It may also be required to pay damages that may reduce its profitability and adversely affect its financial condition. Even if these concerns prove to be baseless, the resulting negative publicity could affect the Corporation’s ability to market certain of its products and, in turn, could harm its business and results from operations.

Damage to the Corporation’s reputation may result in the failure of its business

In certain circumstances, the Corporation’s reputation could be damaged. Damage to the Corporation’s reputation can be the result of the actual or perceived occurrence of any number of events, and could include any negative publicity, whether true or not. The increased usage of social media and other web-based tools used to generate, publish and discuss user-generated content and to connect with other users has made it increasingly easier for individuals and groups to communicate and share opinions and views regarding the Corporation and its activities, whether true or not. Although the Corporation believes that it operates in a manner that is respectful to all stakeholders and that it takes care in protecting its image and reputation, the Corporation does not ultimately have direct control over how it is perceived by others. Reputation loss may result in decreased investor confidence, increased challenges in developing and maintaining community relations and an impediment to the Corporation’s overall ability to advance its projects, thereby having a material adverse impact on financial performance, financial condition, cash flows and growth prospects.

Marketing and distribution capabilities

In order to commercialize its products, the Corporation must either acquire or develop an internal marketing and sales force with technical expertise and with supporting distribution capabilities or arrange for third parties to perform these services. In order to market any of its products, the Corporation must either acquire or develop a sales and distribution infrastructure. The acquisition or development of a sales and distribution infrastructure would require substantial resources, which may divert the attention of its management and key personnel, and defer its product development and deployment efforts. To the extent that the Corporation enters into marketing and sales arrangements with other companies, its revenues will depend on the efforts of others. These efforts may not be successful. If the Corporation fails to develop substantial sales, marketing and distribution channels, or to enter into arrangements with third parties for those purposes, it will experience delays in product sales and incur increased costs.

Intellectual Property

The Corporation relies on a combination of trademark and trade secrecy laws, confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect the Corporation’s intellectual property rights in the Corporation’s current brand, and any additional intellectual property it may develop. Failure to protect the Corporation’s intellectual property could harm the Corporation’s brand and the Corporation’s reputation, and adversely affect the Corporation’s ability to compete effectively. Further, enforcing or defending the Corporation’s intellectual property rights, including the Corporation’s trademarks, patents, potential patents, copyrights and trade secrets, could result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources. Although the Corporation is pursuing the registration of the Corporation’s trademarks in Canada and the United States, there can be no assurance that the steps taken by it to protect these proprietary rights will be adequate or that third parties will not infringe or misappropriate the Corporation’s trademarks, trade secrets (including the Corporation’s blends and preparations) or similar proprietary rights. In addition, there can be no assurance that other parties will not assert infringement claims against the Corporation, and it may have to pursue litigation against other parties to assert the Corporation’s rights. Any such claim or litigation could be costly. In addition, any event that would jeopardize the Corporation’s proprietary rights or any claims of infringement by third parties could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s ability to market or sell the Corporation’s brands, profitably exploit the Corporation’s unique products or recoup the Corporation’s associated research and development costs.

Litigation

The Corporation may from time to time become party to litigation in the ordinary course of business which could adversely affect its business. Should any litigation in which the Corporation is, or becomes, involved be determined against the Corporation, such a decision could adversely affect the Corporation’s ability to continue operating and the market price for the Securities and could use significant resources. Even if the Corporation is involved in litigation and wins, such litigation could redirect significant resources. Litigation may also create a negative perception of the Corporation’s brand.

Future Acquisitions or Dispositions

Material acquisitions, dispositions and other strategic transactions involve a number of risks, including: (i) potential disruption of the Corporation’s ongoing business; (ii) distraction of management; (iii) the Corporation may become more financially leveraged; (iv) the anticipated benefits and cost savings of those transactions may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected; (v) increased scope and complexity of the Corporation’s operations; and (vi) loss or reduction of control over certain of the Corporation’s assets. Additionally, the Corporation may issue additional Common Shares in connection with such transactions, which would dilute a shareholder’s holdings in the Corporation. The presence of one or more material liabilities of an acquired company that are unknown to the Corporation at the time of acquisition could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, prospects and financial condition of the Corporation. A strategic transaction may result in a significant change in the nature of the Corporation’s business, operations and strategy. In addition, the Corporation may encounter unforeseen obstacles or costs in implementing a strategic transaction or integrating any acquired business into the Corporation’s operations.

Plan of Arrangement

On April 11, 2023, the Corporation announced its intention to complete a spin-out transaction via a statutory plan of arrangement and to hold a regarding the same at its upcoming meeting of shareholders. The Corporation ultimately made the decision to defer the spin-out transaction and did not ask its shareholders to approve the transaction at its annual general and special meeting of shareholders held on June 29, 2023.

On October 5, 2023, the Corporation announced that it had entered into a definitive arrangement agreement with Celly Nu dated October 4, 2023 (the “Arrangement Agreement”) with respect to the distribution of a portion of the Corporation’s shareholdings of Celly Nu to the FSD Pharma Securityholders (as defined herein).

Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, the Corporation had FSD Pharma Securityholders pass a special resolution at the special meeting of shareholders held on November 20, 2023 to approve a statutory plan of arrangement under section 182 of the OBCA (the “Plan of Arrangement”), which involved (i) an amendment to the capital structure of the Corporation (the “Share Capital Amendment”); and (ii) the distribution of a portion of the common shares in the capital of Celly Nu (“Celly Nu Shares”) to the holders of the Corporation’s Class B Shares, class A multiple voting shares (“Class A Shares”), and outstanding warrants exercisable for the purchase of Class B Shares, provided the applicable warrant certificate entitles the holder thereof to receive distributions substantially similar to those received by the holders of Class B Shares (“FSD Pharma Distribution Warrants” and together with Class A Shares and Class B Shares, the “FSD Pharma Securities”). The Shareholders and the holders of FSD Pharma Distribution Warrants (collectively, the “FSD Pharma Securityholders”) would each receive one Celly Nu Share for each Class A Share, Class B Share or FSD Pharma Distribution Warrant held.

On November 24, 2023, the Corporation received a final order from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) approving the Plan of Arrangement.

The record date of the Plan of Arrangement was set at November 28, 2023 (the “Record Date”), and the ex-dividend date was set at November 27, 2023.

Effective November 29, 2023, the Corporation completed the Plan of Arrangement. Holders of FSD Pharma Securities received one Celly Nu Share for each Class A Share, Class B Share, or FSD Pharma Distribution Warrant held. FSD Pharma Securityholders also received new Class A Shares, new Class B Shares, and new FSD Pharma Distribution Warrants (“New FSD Pharma Securities”) in exchange for their Class A Shares, Class B Shares, and FSD Pharma Distribution Warrants (the “Share Exchange”). Pursuant to the Share Exchange and in accordance with the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, 24 Class A Shares were exchanged to 24 new Class B Shares. Following the closing of the Plan of Arrangement, the Corporation had 48 new Class A Shares, 39,376,723 new Class B Shares, and 6,335,758 new FSD Pharma Distribution Warrants issued and outstanding. Further details concerning the Share Exchange are set forth in the Special Meeting Circular.

All Celly Nu Shares distributed to FSD Pharma Securityholders pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement are subject to restrictions on resale, and may not be transferred until May 31, 2024, provided that, Celly Nu may, in its sole discretion, waive such restrictions, in whole or in part.

The New CUSIP and ISIN numbers for Class B Shares following the completion of the Plan of Arrangement are 35954B404 and CA35954B4047, respectively, the New CUSIP and ISIN numbers for Class A Shares following the completion of the Plan of Arrangement are 35954B305 and CA35954B3056, respectively and the Celly Nu Shares distributed pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement have CUSIP and ISIN numbers of 150965200 and CA1509652006, respectively.

The Plan of Arrangement resulted in an aggregate of 45,712,529 Celly Nu Shares being distributed to the FSD Pharma Securityholders and an aggregate of 154,287,471 Celly Nu Shares retained by the Corporation, which represents approximately 26.15% of the issued and outstanding Celly Nu Shares on a non-diluted basis.

For more information regarding the Plan of Arrangement, please see the Special Meeting Circular and Arrangement Agreement, each of which is available under the Corporation’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

The Plan of Arrangement was considered a “business combination” pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”) since (i) the FSD Pharma Securityholders’ interest in the FSD Pharma Securities may have been terminated without their consent as a result of the Share Capital Amendment; and (ii) Michael (Zappy) Zapolin (“Zapolin”), a director of the Corporation and therefore a “related party” under MI 61-101 was party to a “connected transaction” to the Plan of Arrangement. The Plan of Arrangement and subscription by Zapolin for 28,800,000 Celly Nu Shares on August 1, 2023 was a “connected transaction” (the “Related Party Purchase”). Both transactions involved Celly Nu as a common party and the Plan of Arrangement and Related Party Purchase were arguably negotiated at approximately the same time. At the time, Zapolin owned, directly or indirectly, nil Class B Shares, nil Class A Shares, nil FSD Pharma Distribution Warrants, and 500,000 warrants, each exercisable for the purchase of one Class B Share. Any FSD Pharma Securities held by Zapolin were treated in the same fashion under the Plan of Arrangement as the FSD Pharma Securities held by every other FSD Pharma Securityholder.

The Plan of Arrangement was not a “related party transaction” pursuant to MI 61-101 as a result of it being a “business combination” pursuant to MI 61-101.

The Plan of Arrangement did not have a material impact or represent a material change on the Corporation’s financial performance and condition.

Receipt of Court Action

On May 12, 2023, the Corporation announced receipt of a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida (the “U.S. District Court”) by GBB Drink Lab, Inc. (“GBB”) against the Corporation, alleging breach of a mutual non-disclosure agreement and misappropriation of trade secrets, valued, as of August 30, 2022 (prior to the misappropriation and material breach) at US$53,047,000. The Corporation believes the allegations are without merit and intends to defend itself in the lawsuit. On June 23, 2023, the Corporation filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. On July 3, 2023, GBB responded in opposition to the Corporation’s motion to dismiss the complaint. The Motion to Dismiss the Amended Complaint filed on June 23, 2023 has been fully briefed and is awaiting adjudication by the U.S. District Court. In the meantime, on August 24, 2023, the parties filed a proposed joint scheduling report with the U.S. District Court, which set forth various deadlines that would govern this action. Under the proposed joint schedule, which still needs to be approved by the U.S. District Court, the case would be trial-ready by November 30, 2024.

Change of Management

On July 4, 2023, the Corporation announced the appointment of Mr. Zeeshan Saeed as Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Corporation, to succeed Mr. Anthony Durkacz, who served as interim CEO of the Corporation since July 2021.

At the annual general and special meeting of the Corporation’s shareholders held on June 29, 2023, Messrs. Michael Zapolin and Dr. Eric Hoskins were elected as directors of the Corporation.

Investigation of Market Activity

On July 10, 2023, the Corporation announced that it had retained Christian Attar Law, a regional litigation firm located in Houston, Texas, to co-lead, along with New York City law firm, Warshaw Burstein, LLP, an investigation of any potential naked short selling or other market manipulation of the Corporation’s shares. The Corporation has been advised that Christian Attar Law has completed their preliminary assessment of the predatory short selling and they anticipate that they will recommend to move the matter forward to the next stage but have yet to make a formal decision. The Corporation will provide updates in the event of any material progress on the investigation.

On November 22, 2023, the Corporation was provided an update from its United States counsel in connection with the possible naked short selling and market manipulation case, counsel informed the Corporation on a phone call that they plan to file a motion in the coming year, at the earliest in February or March 2024.

Settlement of CRO Dispute

On August 2, 2023, the Corporation entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Syneos Health, LLC and Syneos Health UK Limited (collectively, the “Syneos”), whereby it was agreed that, among other things, the Corporation agreed to pay Syneos the amount of US$100,000 within five days of the execution of the Settlement Agreement and upon receipt by Syneos of such settlement payment, Syneos shall waive, release and forgive the Corporation’s payment of (i) the different between the settlement payment and the damages payment (i.e. US$1,607,831) and (ii) interest on the damages payment ordered by the award, and any other amounts that were or could have been sought in the arbitration. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Syneos also agreed to withdraw its recognition application that was filed on June 30, 2023. Payment was made by the Corporation on August 4, 2023 and pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the matter was concluded in its entirety.

Dr. Raza Bokhari

On July 15, 2021, the Corporation’s former CEO, Dr. Raza Bokhari, filed an arbitration notice seeking C$30.2 million for breach of contract, severance, and damages, along with C$500,000 for punitive damages and legal fees. Dr. Bokhari had been placed on administrative leave after the May 14, 2021 shareholder meeting and was terminated for cause on July 27, 2021, following an investigation by a special committee. The arbitration concluded in August 2022 with Dr. Raza Bokhari’s claims dismissed. Dr. Bokhari was also ordered to repay certain funds to the Corporation and cover arbitration costs in the amount of approximately C$2.8M plus interest. On December 9, 2022, Dr. Bokhari sought to set aside the award, citing unfair treatment and inadequate reasoning. On October 4, 2023, the Corporation announced that the Ontario Superior Court of Justice had dismissed Dr. Bokhari’s motion to set aside the arbitration award. Dr. Bokhari was required to put up C$150,000 as security for costs before the motion was heard, which he has forfeited. In addition, Dr. Bokhari was ordered to pay C$175,000 to cover the Corporation’s legals costs for his failed set aside motion. On December 1, 2023, the Corporation filed a petition to confirm the arbitration award in the United States District Court for Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

On October 13, 2023, Dr. Bokhari served notices of motion on the Corporation for leave to appeal the set aside and enforcement orders issued by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice’s on October 4, 2023. On December 15, 2023, the Corporation submitted a responding party’s factum to the Court of Appeal for Ontario. As of the date hereof, the litigation is ongoing. 

December Class A Share Private Placement

Effective December 4, 2023, the Corporation closed a non-brokered private placement of Class A Shares for gross proceeds of C$45.60 through the issuance of 24 Class A Shares at a price of C$1.90 per Class A Share (the “December Class A Private Placement”). All securities issued pursuant to the December Class A Private Placement were subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus a day from issuance in accordance with applicable securities laws of Canada. The Corporation intends to use the proceeds of the December Class A Private Placement for general working capital purposes.

Xorax Family Trust, a trust of which Zeeshan Saeed, the CEO and Co-Chairman of FSD Pharma is a beneficiary, and Fortius Research and Trading Corp., a corporation of which Anthony Durkacz, a director of FSD is a director, purchased all of the Class A Shares issued pursuant to the December Class A Private Placement. The participation by such insiders is considered a “related-party transaction” within the meaning of MI 61-101. The Corporation relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in respectively, sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 in respect of related party participation in the December Class A Private Placement as neither the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involved the related parties, exceeded 25% of the Corporation’s market capitalization (as determined under MI 61-101). The Corporation did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing of the December Class A Private Placement because the details of the participation therein by related parties to the Corporation were not settled until shortly prior to the closing, and the Corporation wished to close on an expedited basis for business reasons.

Interest-Bearing Mortgage Investments

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Corporation entered into a secured loan agreement with the Corporation’s CEO for C$1,200,000, with monthly payments of C$6,000 based on an annual interest rate of 6% and a blended rate of 7%. The loan matures on April 26, 2025, and is part of FSD Strategic Investments’ portfolio of loans. The business purpose of the loan was a treasury function to earn a rate of return on excess capital held.

In determining the interest rate for each borrower under FSD Strategic Investments’ portfolio of loans, the Corporation took the following criteria into consideration: (i) their credit score; (ii) employment status; (iii) salary; (iv) property location; (v) equity on the property; and (vi) the Bank of Canada rate at the time of the mortgage.

In the case of the CEO loan, although all the other loans under FSD Strategic Investments’ portfolio of loans, are a first charge mortgage on the underlying residential property, his was a second charge. The Corporation determined that because the loan was made to an individual with a salary that is more than double that of the other borrowers, with a very clear picture of longevity, the exception was made as the first charge on his residential property was for a Home Equity Line of Credit (“HELOC”), which no funds have been withdrawn against. The Corporation viewed this as appropriate security as the HELOC had a zero balance and the borrower undertook to the Corporation that the HELOC will not be used unless for payment towards the Corporation’s second mortgage.

The CEO’s loan was made on the same terms and conditions that a member of the general public would receive, thus in line with the Corporation’s board of directors’ (the “Board”) expectations. Additionally, before the Board approved the Corporation entering into this transaction, the Corporation sought the advice of counsel to guide the Board with its decision in this particular loan transaction.

In completing the CEO loan transaction, the Corporation relied on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 on the basis that at the time the loan transaction was agreed to, neither the fair market value of the loan transaction, nor the fair market value of the consideration for the loan transaction, insofar as it involved the interested party, exceeded 25% of the Corporation’s market capitalization, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101.

CAPITALIZATION AND INDEBTEDNESS

The following table sets forth our unaudited capitalization and indebtedness as of September 30, 2023. This table should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2022 and 2021 and for the three years ended December 31, 2022 beginning on page F-1 of the 2022 Form 20-F and unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as at September 30, 2023 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 as filed on Form 6-K, both of which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

The above discussion and table are based on 39,358,791 Class B Shares outstanding as of September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, we had (i) 2,533,488 Class B Shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options to purchase Class B Shares at a weighted average exercise price of $1.58 per share, and (ii) 10,324,043 Class B Shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding equity-classified warrants to purchase Class B Shares at a weighted average exercise price of $5.13 per share.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE CAPITAL

The Corporation’s authorized share capital consists of an unlimited number of Class A Shares and an unlimited number of Class B Shares, each with no par value. As of the date of this Prospectus, there were 72 Class A Shares issued and outstanding and 39,376,723 Class B Shares issued and outstanding. Neither the Class A Shares nor the Class B Shares are bearer shares; instead, the Corporation maintains a register of the holders of the Class A Shares and the Class B Shares and engages a transfer agent and registrar to process transfers of shares and maintain the register. The Class B Shares are registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and trade on the CSE and the Nasdaq under the symbol “HUGE”. The Class B Shares are also listed and posted for trading on the Börse Frankfurt, or Frankfurt Stock Exchange, under “WKN: A2JM6M” and the trading symbol “0K9A”. Prior to the CSE listing, there was no public trading in any securities of the Corporation. As of November 2, 2023, the Class A Shares represented approximately 33.6% of the voting rights attached to outstanding voting securities of the Corporation and Class B Shares represented approximately 66.4% of the voting rights attached to outstanding voting securities of the Corporation. In addition, as of September 30, 2023, there were 2,533,488 Stock Options with a weighted average exercise price of C$1.58 and 10,324,043 Warrants with a weighted average exercise price of C$5.13 (with certain Warrant exercise prices converted based on the spot rate of US$1.00 to C$1.3520, as reported by the Bank of Canada for September 29, 2023) outstanding.

The following is a summary of the rights, privileges, restrictions, and conditions attached to the Class A Shares and Class B Shares.

Voting Rights

Except as otherwise prescribed by the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “OBCA”), at a meeting of the Shareholders, each Class B Share entitles the holder thereof to one vote, voting together as a single class, and each Class A Share entitles the holder thereof to 276,660 votes on all matters.

Rank

The Class A Shares and Class B Shares rank pari passu with respect to the payment of dividends, return of capital and distribution of assets in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation or any other distribution of its assets among its shareholders for the purpose of winding-up its affairs, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, the holders of Class A Shares and the holders of Class B Shares are entitled to participate equally, share for share, subject always to the rights of the holders of any class of shares ranking senior to the Class A Shares and the Class B Shares, in the remaining property and assets of the Corporation available for distribution to Shareholders, without preference or distinction among or between the Class A Shares and the Class B Shares.

Dividends

Holders of Class A Shares and Class B Shares are entitled to receive, subject always to the rights of the holders of any class of shares ranking senior to the Class A Shares and Class B Shares, dividends out of the assets of the Corporation legally available for the payment of dividends at such times and in such amount and form as the Board may from time to time determine, and the Corporation will pay dividends thereon on a pari passu basis, if, as and when declared by the Board.

Conversion

The Class B Shares are not convertible into any other class of shares. Each outstanding Class A Share may, at any time at the option of the holder, be converted into one Class B Share. Upon the first date that any Class A Share is held other than by a permitted holder, the permitted holder which held such Class A Share until such date, without any further action, shall automatically be deemed to have exercised his, her or its rights to convert such Class A Share into a fully paid and non-assessable Class B Share.

Future transfers by holders of Class A Shares to arm’s length parties or other than to permitted holders will generally result in those shares converting to Class B Shares, which will have the effect, over time, of increasing the relative voting power of those holders of Class A Shares who retain their shares. Such holders could, in the future, control a significant percentage of the combined voting power of Class A Shares and Class B Shares.

Subdivision or Consolidation

No subdivision or consolidation of the Class A Shares or the Class B Shares may be carried out unless, at the same time, the Class A Shares, or the Class B Shares, as the case may be, are subdivided or consolidated in the same manner and on the same basis.

On October 16, 2019, the Corporation completed the Consolidation of all of its issued and outstanding Class A Shares and Class B Shares. Pursuant to the Consolidation, all of the issued and outstanding Class A Shares and Class B Shares were consolidated on the basis of one post-Consolidation share for every 201 pre-Consolidation shares of each class.

Change of Control Transactions

The holders of Class B Shares are entitled to participate on an equal basis with holders of Class A Shares in the event of a “Change of Control Transaction” requiring approval of the holders of Class A Shares and Class B Shares under the OBCA, unless different treatment of the shares of each such class is approved by a majority of the votes cast by the holders of outstanding Class A Shares and by a majority of the votes cast by the holders of outstanding Class B Shares, each voting separately as a class.

Proposals to Amend the Articles of Amendment

Neither the holders of the Class A Shares nor the holders of the Class B Shares are entitled to vote separately as a class upon a proposal to amend the Articles of Amendment in the case of an amendment referred to in paragraph (a) or (e) of subsection 170(1) of the OBCA.

Neither the holders of the Class A Shares nor the holders of the Class B Shares shall be entitled to vote separately as a class upon a proposal to amend the Articles of Amendment in the case of an amendment referred to in paragraph (b) of subsection 170(1) of the OBCA unless such exchange, reclassification or cancellation: (a) affects only the holders of that class; or (b) affects the holders of Class A Shares and Class B Shares differently, on a per share basis, and such holders are not otherwise entitled to vote separately as a class under any applicable law in respect of such exchange, reclassification or cancellation.

Take-Over Bid Protection

Under applicable Canadian law, an offer to purchase Class A Shares would not necessarily require that an offer be made to purchase Class B Shares. In accordance with the rules of the CSE designed to ensure that, in the event of a take-over bid, the holders of Class B Shares will be entitled to participate on an equal footing with holders of Class A Shares, the holders of not less than 80% of the outstanding Class A Shares have entered into the Coattail Agreement. The Coattail Agreement contains provisions customary for dual class, publicly-traded Ontario corporations designed to prevent transactions that otherwise would deprive the holders of Class B Shares of rights under the take-over bid provisions of applicable Canadian securities legislation to which they would have been entitled if the Class A Shares had been Class B Shares.

The undertakings in the Coattail Agreement do not apply to prevent a sale of Class A Shares by a holder of Class A Shares party to the Coattail Agreement if concurrently an offer is made to purchase Class B Shares that:

(a) offers a price per Class B Share at least as high as the highest price per share paid or required to be paid pursuant to the take-over bid for the Class A Shares;

(b) provides that the percentage of outstanding Class B Shares to be taken up (exclusive of shares owned immediately prior to the offer by the offeror or persons acting jointly or in concert with the offeror) is at least as high as the percentage of outstanding Class A Shares to be sold (exclusive of Class A Shares owned immediately prior to the offer by the offeror and persons acting jointly or in concert with the offeror);

(c) has no condition attached other than the right not to take up and pay for Class B Shares tendered if no shares are purchased pursuant to the offer for Class A Shares; and

(d) is in all other material respects identical to the offer for Class A Shares.

In addition, the Coattail Agreement does not prevent the sale of Class A Shares by a holder thereof to a permitted holder, provided such sale does not or would not constitute a take-over bid or, if so, is exempt or would be exempt from the formal bid requirements (as defined in applicable securities legislation). The conversion of Class A Shares into Class B Shares shall not, in or of itself, constitute a sale of Class A Shares for the purposes of the Coattail Agreement.

Under the Coattail Agreement, any sale of Class A Shares (including a transfer to a pledgee as security) by a holder of Class A Shares party to the Coattail Agreement is conditional upon the transferee or pledgee becoming a party to the Coattail Agreement, to the extent such transferred Class A Shares are not automatically converted into Class B Shares in accordance with the Articles of Amendment.

The Coattail Agreement contains provisions for authorizing action by the trustee to enforce the rights under the Coattail Agreement on behalf of the holders of the Class B Shares. The obligation of the trustee to take such action will be conditional on the Corporation or holders of the Class B Shares providing such funds and indemnity as the trustee may require. No holder of Class B Shares has the right, other than through the trustee, to institute any action or proceeding or to exercise any other remedy to enforce any rights arising under the Coattail Agreement unless the trustee fails to act on a request authorized by holders of not less than 10% of the outstanding Class B Shares and reasonable funds and indemnity have been provided to the trustee.

The Coattail Agreement may not be amended, and no provision thereof may be waived, unless, prior to giving effect to such amendment or waiver, the following have been obtained: (a) the consent of the CSE and any other applicable securities regulatory authority in Canada and (b) the approval of at least 66²/₃% of the votes cast by holders of Class B Shares represented at a meeting duly called for the purpose of considering such amendment or waiver, excluding votes attached to Class B Shares held directly or indirectly by holders of Class A Shares, their affiliates and related parties and any persons who have an agreement to purchase Class A Shares on terms which would constitute a sale for purposes of the Coattail Agreement other than as permitted thereby.

No provision of the Coattail Agreement limits the rights of any holders of Class B Shares under applicable law.

At the annual and special meeting of Shareholders of the Corporation held December 16, 2019, the Shareholders approved an amendment to the Articles to authorize certain transfers of Class A Shares. The Shareholders approved an amendment to permit the holders of Class A Shares to complete transfers of Class A Shares to a director, executive officer, or founder of the Corporation, such that a founder who is no longer actively involved in the business and affairs of the Corporation could transfer that founder’s Class A Shares to those individuals who remain active.

Competition Act

Limitations on the ability to acquire and hold our Class B Shares may be imposed by the Competition Act (Canada). This legislation establishes a pre-merger notification regime for certain types of merger transactions that exceed certain statutory shareholding and financial thresholds. Transactions that are subject to notification cannot be closed until the required materials are filed and the applicable statutory waiting period has expired or been waived by the Commissioner of Competition (the “Commissioner”). Further, the Competition Act (Canada) permits the Commissioner to review any acquisition of control over or of a significant interest in us, whether or not it is subject to mandatory notification. This legislation grants the Commissioner jurisdiction, for up to one year following completion of an acquisition, to challenge this type of acquisition before the Canadian Competition Tribunal if the Commissioner believes it would, or would be likely to, prevent or lessen competition substantially in any market in Canada.

Investment Canada Act

The following discussion summarizes the principal features of the Investment Canada Act (Canada) for a non-resident who proposes to acquire Class B Shares of the Corporation. The discussion is general only; it is not a substitute for independent legal advice from an investor’s own advisor; and it does not anticipate statutory or regulatory amendments.

The Investment Canada Act (Canada) is a Canadian federal statute of broad application regulating the establishment and acquisition of Canadian businesses by non-Canadians, including individuals, governments or agencies thereof, corporations, partnerships, trusts or joint ventures. Investments by non-Canadians to acquire control over existing Canadian businesses or to establish new ones are either reviewable or notifiable under the Investment Canada Act (Canada). If an investment by a non-Canadian to acquire control over an existing Canadian business is reviewable under the Investment Canada Act (Canada), the Investment Canada Act (Canada) generally prohibits implementation of the investment unless, after review, the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry is satisfied that the investment is likely to be of net benefit to Canada.

A non-Canadian would acquire control of the Corporation for the purposes of the Investment Canada Act (Canada) through the acquisition of Class B Shares if the non-Canadian acquired shares to which are attached the majority of the voting rights of the Corporation.

Further, the acquisition of less than a majority but one-third or more of the shares to which are attached more than one-third of the voting rights of the Corporation would be presumed to be an acquisition of control of the Corporation unless it could be established that, on the acquisition, the Corporation was not controlled in fact by the acquirer through the ownership of Class B Shares. The acquisition of less than one-third of the voting shares of the Corporation is deemed not to be acquisition of control.

For a direct acquisition that would result in an acquisition of control of the Corporation, subject to the exceptions for “WTO Investors” that are controlled by persons who are resident in World Trade Organization (“WTO”) member nations and for “Trade Agreement Investors” that are controlled by persons who are resident in certain countries in with which Canada has trade agreements, a proposed investment would be reviewable where the value of the acquired assets is C$5 million or more, or if an order for review was made by the federal cabinet on the grounds that the investment related to Canada’s cultural heritage or national identity, where the value of the acquired assets is less than C$5 million.

For a proposed indirect acquisition that is not by a WTO Investor or Trade Agreement Investor and that would result in an acquisition of control of the Corporation through the acquisition of a non-Canadian parent entity, the investment would be reviewable where (a) the value of the Canadian assets acquired in the transaction is C$50 million or more, or (b) the value of the Canadian assets is greater than 50% of the value of all of the assets acquired in the transaction and the value of the Canadian assets is C$5 million or more.

In the case of a direct acquisition by or from a WTO Investor or Trade Agreement Investor, the threshold is significantly higher and varies depending on (i) the residency of the investor and (ii) whether the investor is a State-Owned Enterprise (“SOE”).

Starting January 1, 2019, and for subsequent years, threshold levels have been adjusted annually based on growth in nominal gross domestic product in accordance with a formula set out in the Investment Canada Act (Canada) (i.e., the growth in the nominal gross domestic product at market prices multiplied by the threshold amount determined for the previous year).

For WTO Investors and Trade Agreement Investors that are not SOEs, the threshold is based on enterprise value. In 2023, the review threshold for non-SOE WTO Investors was increased to an enterprise value of C$1.287 billion and the review threshold for non-SOE Trade Agreement Investors was increased to C$1.931 billion. Other than the exception noted below, an indirect acquisition involving a non-SOE WTO Investor is not reviewable under the Investment Canada Act (Canada).

For SOEs, the threshold is based on the book value of our assets. In 2023, the review threshold for SOEs that are WTO Investors or Trade Agreement Investors was increased to C$512 million. Other than the exception noted below, an indirect acquisition involving a SOE WTO Investor is not reviewable under the Investment Canada Act (Canada), but are nonetheless subject to notification.

The higher threshold for direct investments by WTO Investors and Trade Agreement Investors and the exemption for indirect investments do not apply where the relevant Canadian business is carrying on a “cultural business”. The acquisition of a Canadian business that is a “cultural business” is subject to lower review thresholds under the Investment Canada Act (Canada) because of the perceived sensitivity of the cultural sector. The Corporation is not carrying on a “cultural business”.

In 2009, amendments were enacted to the Investment Canada Act (Canada) concerning investments that may be considered injurious to national security. If the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry has reasonable grounds to believe that an investment by a non-Canadian “could be injurious to national security,” the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry may send the non-Canadian a notice indicating that an order for review of the investment may be made. The review of an investment on the grounds of national security may occur whether or not an investment is otherwise subject to review on the basis of net benefit to Canada or otherwise subject to notification under the Investment Canada Act (Canada). The Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry has published guidelines that provide an open-ended list of factors that may be considered in determining whether an investment may be “injurious to national security”. These include the potential effects of the investment on the transfer of sensitive technology (including biotechnology) that may have military, intelligence, or dual military/civilian applications.

Certain transactions, except those to which the national security provisions of the Investment Canada Act (Canada) may apply, relating to Class B Shares of the Corporation are exempt from the Investment Canada Act (Canada), including:

See “Item 10.E.-Taxation” of the Form 20-F for additional information regarding the material U.S. and Canadian federal income tax consequences relating to the ownership and disposition of our Class B Shares by Non-Canadian Holders (as defined therein).

Any of these provisions may discourage a potential acquirer from proposing or completing a transaction that may have otherwise presented a premium to our Shareholders. We cannot predict whether investors will find the Corporation and our Class B Shares less attractive because we are governed by Canadian laws.

For more detailed information, please see our articles, which are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this Prospectus forms a part.

USE OF PROCEEDS 

The net proceeds to us from any offering of Securities, the proposed use of those proceeds and the specific business objectives that we wish to accomplish with such proceeds will be set out in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. We will have broad discretion over the use of proceeds from an offering of Securities. The actual amount that the Corporation spends in connection with each intended use of proceeds may vary from the amounts specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement and will depend on a number of factors, including those referred to under “Risk Factors” and any other factors set out in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. We may invest funds which we do not immediately use. Such investments may include short-term marketable investment grade securities. We may, from time to time, issue securities (including debt securities) other than pursuant to this Prospectus.

Funds Available

As at the date of this Prospectus, the Corporation has working capital of approximately $8,317,714 for the next 12 months. As such, the Corporation will continue to be solvent and meet its near-term ongoing expenditures, objectives and milestones, regardless of the amount of net proceeds it receives from the sale of Securities under this Prospectus.

Notes: 

As outlined under “Material Changes - Interest Bearing Mortgage Investments,” in determining the interest rate for each borrower under FSD Strategic Investments’ portfolio of loans, the Corporation took the following criteria into consideration: (i) their credit score; (ii) employment status; (iii) salary; (iv) property location; (v) equity on the property; and (vi) the Bank of Canada rate at the time of the mortgage. As at the date of this Prospectus, FSD Strategic Investments has completed 22 mortgages in total, with 18 currently outstanding, and has experienced zero defaults and delinquency. As outlined in the “Funds Available” table above, the Corporation expects to begin receiving proceeds from its FSD Strategic Investments starting in May 2024 and does not anticipate having any issues collecting on the expected proceeds as each FSD Strategic Investment was entered into with terms that create minimal risk of default, including a maximum 24-month period, loan-to-value ratios not exceeding 55% and all, but one, having a first charge mortgage.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation understands that there may be factors outside of its control that could: (x) attribute to the inability of a mortgage principal or interest payment becoming past due; (y) change the financial condition of the respective borrower; and/or (z) result in the borrower electing to not pay, and therefore the Corporation has set out contingency plans whereby it would sell the outstanding mortgage to a third party and/or have a third party advance money against the securitization of the asset, and if unsuccessful, could foreclose on the asset.

Accordingly, the Corporation has sufficient funds to carry out the existing business objectives set forth under “Use of Proceeds with Non-Contingent Financial Resources” below.

Use of Proceeds with Non-Contingent Financial Resources

Unless the Corporation otherwise indicates in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Corporation intends to use its non-contingent financial resources for the advancement of the objectives and milestones outlined below.

Note:

By adhering to planned operating and solely focusing on milestones that use non-contingent financial resources, as set forth in the table above, the Corporation can maintain operations until April 2026. This projection relies on the current cash balance of US$2,363,493 and expected interest bearing mortgage receivables of approximately US$8,791,602 (See “Use of Proceeds - Funds Available”), resulting in a comprehensive treasury of US$11,155,095 that can be allocated to cover expenses. The Corporation’s budget for sustaining the status quo is US$6,342,864 for the initial 12 months and US$3,562,216 for each subsequent 12-month period. The Corporation employs this methodology to ensure the status quo can be sustained for approximately 28 months.

Use of Proceeds with Contingent Financial Resources

Although the Corporation intends to proceed with Phase 2 of the Lucid-MS clinical trial and advancement of its alcohol misuse treatment Healthcare Product program, it will require additional financing to achieve its objectives and milestones. Unless the Corporation otherwise indicates in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Corporation intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of Securities under this Prospectus for the advancement of the objectives and milestones outlined below.

The Corporation has arrived at these estimated cash requirements based on the following significant, general factors and assumptions: (i) the Corporation will not generate any revenue from the sale of pharmaceutical products but will incur costs necessary to maintain and advance its various clinical development programs; (ii) the Corporation will continue to maintain its own staff that are essential to the development of its stated programs; (iii) the Corporation will be able to realize cost-savings and reduced general and administrative expenditures associated with the completion of its phase 1 MS program, the idling of its psychedelic asset (Lucid-PSYCH) and the termination of its Phase 2 FSD-PEA trial; (iv) the Corporation will proceed to Phase 2 trials for Lucid-MS based on the timeline and anticipated costs in the table above under “Milestones” and (v) the Corporation will conduct research and development on the Healthcare Product based on the timeline and anticipated costs in the table above under “Milestones”.

As noted above, the Corporation will take the appropriate steps to prepare Lucid-MS to seek FDA and Health Canada approval for a Phase 2 clinical trial to treat patients with progressive MS. On that basis, the Corporation believes it is reasonable to assume that the commencement of a Phase 2 clinical trial will be granted and has therefore included the entire approximately US$26,753,865 estimated cost in its 25-month cash flow forecast. Although the Corporation has no contractual or other obligations to commence or expand its R&D programs, with access to additional capital (whether through one or more additional financing) and subject to favorable clinical results and ongoing FDA approvals, the Corporation may be able to begin by Q1 2024.

Also noted above, the Corporation will take the appropriate steps to prepare the Healthcare Product to advance for a Phase 1 trial. On that basis, the Corporation believes it is reasonable to assume that the commencement of a Phase 1 trial will be granted and has therefore included the entire approximately US$7,858,948 estimated cost in its 25-month cash flow forecast, along with MS and regular operations this results in total minimum cash needs of approximately US$38,848,841 over the next 25 months. Although the Corporation has no contractual or other obligations to commence or expand its R&D programs, with access to additional capital (whether through one or more additional financing) and subject to favorable clinical results and ongoing FDA approvals, the Corporation may be able to begin by Q1 2024.

The milestones described above represent customary inflection points for financing by clinical-stage biotech companies. However, there is no assurance that the Corporation will be able to achieve these clinical milestones, nor, if successful in doing so, that the Corporation will be able to access additional financing on terms or timing acceptable to the Corporation. See “Risk Factors” in this Prospectus and in the 2022 Annual Report.

The Corporation intends to continue to allocate a significant portion of its available capital towards R&D efforts. One of the Corporation’s main focuses is to ensure its R&D pipeline remains robust, and to capitalize on current and new initiatives including, analysis of current commercial products, ongoing preclinical and IND-enabling studies, clinical development of the pharmaceutical pipeline, and R&D dedicated to building out its product pipeline portfolio. See “Milestones” for a discussion on the status and actual costs to complete the Corporation’s identified business milestones.

Drug development is a long, expensive, and uncertain process, involving a high degree of risk. The drug development business depends heavily on the ability to complete clinical development and non-clinical studies of novel drugs to be developed by the Corporation. See “Milestones - Non-Revenue Generating Projects”. Before obtaining regulatory approvals for the commercial sale of any product candidate, the Corporation must demonstrative through non-clinical studies and clinical trials that the product candidate is safe and effective for use in each target indication. See “The Corporation - Research and Development” for a discussion on the research and development activities and an overview of the process required for commercial drug development and “Milestones” for details on proceeds and anticipated costs to be spent on such development. Due to the early stage of the Corporation’s research and development activities, and the highly variable costs and timing associated with more advanced stages of drug development it would be misleading to provide an estimate on the anticipated costs beyond the planned studies described herein.

The Corporation does not have any exposure to the psychedelics industry, and it has put any future work programs relating to Lucid-PSYCH as a drug product candidate on hold at this time and as such, none of the proceeds raised under the Prospectus will be allocated towards psychedelic substances.

The Corporation has negative cash flow from operating activities and has historically incurred net losses. To the extent that the Corporation has negative operating cash flows in future periods, it may need to deploy a portion of its existing working capital to fund such negative cash flows. See “Risk Factors”.

The material factors or assumptions used to develop the estimated costs disclosed above are included in the “Forward-Looking Statements” section above. The actual amount that the Corporation spends in connection with each of the intended uses of proceeds will depend on several factors, including those listed under “Risk Factors” in, or incorporated by reference in, this Prospectus or unforeseen events.

Use of Proceeds Reconciliation

The Corporation’s cash requirements for the next 12 months differ from historical amounts. Set forth below is a reconciliation of the Corporation’s historical and forward-looking cash requirements, along with details of the significant factor and assumptions management use to arrive at the expected cash burn.

As articulated in the “Use of Proceeds Reconciliation” chart above in the significant factors and assumptions, the Corporation has: (i) reduced its salaries and wages by over US$594,530 annually; (ii) completed several lawsuits, which incurred fees of over US$4,830,559 in past year; (iii) cut its annual advertising spend by US$743,163; (iv) cut its annual insurance spend by US$520,214; and (v) cut its annual rental / lease overhead spend by US$371,581, which reduces its annual cash burn by US$7,060,047. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation’s quarter ended September 30, 2023 (“Q3 2023”) working capital and general corporate expense included three substantial expenses, which as articulated in the significant factors and assumption, are not anticipated to be incurred in future quarters including:

In light of the above, and based on its current performance in the quarter, the Corporation is very confident that the working capital and general corporate expense will be significantly reduced by approximate US$2,015,012 per quarter and US$8,060,047 annually.

In addition, please note that the functional currency of the Corporation is United States dollars, however a portion of the working capital and general corporate expense is incurred in Canadian dollars, therefore in each quarter there is a translation gain or loss expressed in the working capital and general corporate expense which is directly correlated to total working capital and general corporate expense. For example, in Q3 2023, the exchange rate loss was recorded at US$512,111. As articulated above, in future quarters, as the quantum of the working capital and general corporate expense is reduced, so too will the proportional exchange rate loss attributed to the overall working capital and general corporate expense.

Accounts Payable Reconciliation

The Corporation notes that their accounts payable in the Q3 2023 FS were US$3,701,782 and contained amounts as of September 30, 2023; however, it is now anticipated by the Corporation that part of the current liabilities would be settled and/or not have a cash repayment in the near term, or at all. The US$1,710,493 that was included in this Prospectus is the cash flow impact of the accounts payable for the next 12 months and is reflective of the actual cash disbursements that will be associated with accounts payable. The difference of US$1,991,289 is made up as follows:

Notes:

Negative Operating Cash Flow

The Corporation has negative cash flow from operating activities and has historically incurred net losses. To the extent that the Corporation has negative operating cash flows in future periods, it may need to deploy a portion of its existing working capital to fund such negative cash flows. The Corporation will be required to raise additional funds through the issuance of additional equity securities, loan financing, or other means, such as through partnerships with other pharmaceutical companies and research and development reimbursements. There is no assurance that additional capital or other types of financing will be available if needed or that these financings will be on terms at least as favorable to the Corporation as those previously obtained, or at all.

The expected use of net proceeds from an offering of Securities represents the Corporation’s current intentions based upon its present plans and business conditions, which could change in the future as its plans and business conditions evolve. The amounts and timing of the actual use of the net proceeds will depend on multiple factors and there may be circumstances where, for sound business reasons, a reallocation of funds may be necessary for the Corporation to achieve its stated business objectives. The Corporation may also require additional funds to fulfill its expenditure requirements to meet existing and any new business objectives, and the Corporation expects to either issue additional Securities or incur debt to do so. As a result, management will retain broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and investors will be relying on management’s judgment regarding the application of the net proceeds from the offering.

Pending the use of the net proceeds from the offering, the Corporation may plan to invest the net proceeds in short- and intermediate-term, interest-bearing obligations, investment-grade instruments, certificates of deposit or government securities, or hold them as cash.

Until applied, the net proceeds will be held as cash balances in the Corporation’s bank account or invested in certificates of deposit and other instruments issued by banks or obligations of or guaranteed by the Government of Canada or any province thereof or the Government of the United States or any state thereof.

The actual amount that the Corporation spends in connection with each of the intended uses of proceeds will depend on a number of factors, including those listed under “Risk Factors” in, or incorporated by reference in, this Prospectus or unforeseen events.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION 

We may offer and sell Securities to or through underwriters, brokers, dealers, or agents (including through block trades of Securities), or directly to one or more purchasers. In effecting such sales of Securities, brokers or dealers may arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Such transactions may include purchases of the Securities by a broker-dealer as principal and resales of the Securities by the broker-dealer for its account pursuant to this Prospectus, ordinary brokerage transactions, or transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers.

These Securities may be offered and sold in Canada and/or the U.S. and elsewhere where permitted by applicable law, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws. The distribution of Securities may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, or at prices related to such prevailing market prices as may be negotiated with purchasers and as set forth in an accompanying Prospectus Supplement. If offered on a non-fixed price basis, Securities may be offered at market prices prevailing at the time of sale (including, without limitation, sales deemed to be an “at-the-market” distribution as defined in and subject to limitations imposed by and the terms of any regulatory approval required and obtained under applicable securities laws, which may include sales made directly on the Nasdaq, CSE or other existing trading markets for our Securities) at prices determined by reference to the prevailing price of a specified Security in a specified market, or at prices to be negotiated with purchasers at the time of sale, which prices may vary between purchasers and during the period of distribution. If required at the applicable time, any “at-the-market” distribution of Securities in Canada, including through the facilities of the CSE, will be subject to the Corporation first applying for, and obtaining, exemptive relief from the applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities. If Securities are offered on a non-fixed price basis, the underwriters’, brokers’, dealers’ or agents’ compensation will be increased or decreased by the amount by which the aggregate price paid for Securities by the purchasers exceeds or is less than the gross proceeds paid by the underwriter, broker, dealer or agent to us.

In connection with the sale of Securities, underwriters, brokers, dealers, or agents may receive compensation from us or from purchasers of Securities for whom they may act as agents in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions. Underwriters, brokers, dealers, or agents that participate in any distribution of Securities may be deemed underwriters and any commissions to be received by them from us, and any profit on the resale of Securities by them may be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under applicable securities legislation, including the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

If so indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, we may authorize dealers or other persons acting as our agents to solicit offers by certain institutions to purchase the Securities directly from us, pursuant to contracts providing for payment and delivery on a future date. These contracts will be subject only to the conditions set forth in the applicable Prospectus Supplement or supplements, which will also set forth the commission payable for solicitation of these contracts.

The applicable Prospectus Supplement relating to any offering of Securities will also set forth the terms of the offering relating to the particular Securities, including, to the extent applicable, the initial offering price, the proceeds to us from the offering, the underwriting discounts or commissions, and any other discounts or concessions to be allowed or reallowed to dealers. Underwriters, brokers, dealers, or agents with respect to any offering of Securities, or Securities sold to or through underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents by us, will be named in the Prospectus Supplement relating to such offering of Securities.

In connection with any offering of Securities, except with respect to any “at-the-market” offering, the underwriters, brokers, dealers, or agents may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities offered at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time. A purchaser who acquires Securities forming part of the over-allocation position of any underwriter, broker, dealer, or agent, acquires those securities under this Prospectus, regardless of whether the over-allocation position is ultimately filled through the exercise of the over-allotment option or secondary market purchases.

No underwriter of an “at-the-market” distribution, and no person or company acting jointly or in concert with an underwriter, may, in connection with the distribution, enter into any transaction that is intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities or Securities of the same class as the Securities distributed under the Prospectus Supplement relating to such “at-the-market” distribution, including selling an aggregate number or principal amount of Securities that would result in the underwriter creating an over-allocation position in the Securities.

Under agreements which may be entered into by us, underwriters, brokers, dealers, or agents who participate in the distribution of Securities may be entitled to indemnification by us against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and applicable Canadian provincial securities legislation, or to contributions with respect to payments which such Underwriters may be required to make in respect thereof. The underwriters, brokers, dealers, or agents with whom we may enter into agreements may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for us in the ordinary course of business.

Any offering of Subscription Receipts, Warrants or Units will be a new issue of Securities with no established trading market for those Securities. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Subscription Receipts, Warrants or Units will not be listed on any securities exchange or any automated inter-dealer quotation system, and there may be no market through which the Subscription Receipts, Warrants or Units may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell Subscription Receipts, Warrants or Units purchased under this Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement. This may affect the pricing of the Subscription Receipts, Rights or Units in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of such Securities, and the extent of issuer regulation. Certain broker-dealers may make a market in the Subscription Receipts, Warrants or Units, as applicable, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without advance notice. No assurance can be made that any broker-dealer will make a market in the Subscription Receipts, Warrants or Units or as to the liquidity of the trading market, if any, for such Securities.

Under the securities laws of some states, our Securities may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed underwriters, brokers, dealers, or agents. In addition, in some states our Securities may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

TRADING PRICE

Our Class B Shares are listed on Nasdaq and the CSE under the symbol “HUGE”. Our Class B Shares are also listed and posted for trading on the FSE under “WKN: A2JM6M” and the trading symbol “0K9A”. Trading prices of the Class B Shares will be provided in each Prospectus Supplement.

DIVIDEND POLICY 

We have never paid any dividends on our Class B Shares or any of our other securities. We currently intend to retain any future earnings to finance the development and enhancement of our Product Candidates and to otherwise reinvest in our business, and we do not anticipate that we will declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay dividends on our Class B Shares will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, current and anticipated cash requirements and surplus, financial condition, any future contractual restrictions and financing agreement covenants, solvency tests imposed by corporate law and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant.

DILUTION 

Purchasers of Securities in an offering may suffer immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share of the Class B Shares. Dilution in net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the amount per Class B Share paid by purchasers in an offering and the net tangible book value per share of Class B Share immediately after an offering.

LEGAL MATTERS 

Unless otherwise specified in the Prospectus Supplement relating to an offering of Securities, certain matters of Canadian law relating to the offering of such Securities will be passed upon for us by Garfinkle Biderman LLP, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. In addition, certain matters of Canadian law relating to the offering of such Securities may be passed upon for any underwriters, dealers, or agents by counsel to be designated at the time of the offering by such underwriters, dealers or agents.

EXPENSES OF ISSUANCE AND DISTRIBUTION 

The following is a statement of the expenses (all of which are estimated), other than any underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses reimbursed by us, if any, to be incurred in connection with a distribution of an assumed amount of US$50,000,000 of Securities under the offering.
