Toronto, October 5, 2023 -- FSD Pharma Inc. (NASDAQ: HUGE) (CSE: HUGE) (FRA: 0K9A) (“FSD Pharma” or the “Company”), a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to building a portfolio of innovative assets and biotech solutions, and Celly Nutrition Corp.

The Agreement

 

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company will recommend to the holders of class A multiple voting shares (“Class A Shares”), class B subordinate voting shares (“Class B Shares”), and 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 holders of Class B Shares (“Class B Distribution Warrants”, collectively with the Class A Shares, and the Class B Shares, the “FSD Pharma Securities”) at an upcoming special meeting (the “Meeting”) to distribute common shares in the capital of Celly Nu (“Celly Shares”) to the holders of the FSD Pharma Securities (“FSD Pharma Securityholders”), on the basis of one Celly Share distributed in respect of each FSD Pharma Security that is issued and outstanding as of the final record date for the Transaction (the “Distribution Record Date”). The Company expects that this will result in an aggregate of approximately 45,714,621 Celly Shares being distributed to the FSD Pharma Securityholders (the “Distributed Shares”) and an aggregate of approximately 154,285,379 Celly Shares retained by the Company, in each case assuming that the number of FSD Pharma Securities remains unchanged between today and the Distribution Record Date.

 

Subject to the approval of the FSD Pharma Securityholders, the Transaction will be effected by way of a court approved plan of arrangement (“Plan of Arrangement”) under the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario). The Distribution Record Date will be announced promptly following receipt of the requisite approval of the FSD Pharma Securityholders and regulatory approvals. There will be no change in FSD Pharma Securityholders’ proportionate ownership in FSD Pharma Securities as a result of the Plan of Arrangement. In addition, holders of FSD Pharma options (“FSD Options”) and non-distribution warrants (“Non-Distribution Warrants”) as at the effective date of the Plan of Arrangement will have such FSD Options and Non-Distribution Warrants adjusted in accordance with their terms as a result of the Transaction.
