Concurrent Financing

On June 18, 2021, CCU.ai completed its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the "Concurrent Financing") by way of the issuance of subscription receipts ("Subscription Receipts") at a price of $5.30 per Subscription Receipt, raising gross proceeds of $4,319,902 Such proceeds thus exceeded the minimum amount of proceeds which had been set at $3,450,000. In light of the size of the Concurrent Financing following the completion of the Arrangement, in each case on a non-diluted basis:

● the former shareholders of CCU.ai hold 52,124,830 common shares of the Corporation (the "Corporation Shares"), including as participants in the Concurrent Financing and representing approximately 81.82% of all issued and outstanding Corporation Shares;

● the shareholders of the Corporation immediately prior to the Arrangement hold 2,500,075 Corporation Shares, representing approximately 3.92% of all issued and outstanding Corporation Shares;

● the recipients of finder's fees hold 1,041,200 Corporation Shares, representing approximately 1.63% of all issued and outstanding Corporation Shares.

The proceeds of the Concurrent Financing had been placed into escrow pending closing of the Qualifying Transaction. Upon satisfaction of specified escrow release conditions, which included, among other things, the completion or waiver of all conditions precedent to the Qualifying Transaction, each Subscription Receipt was automatically converted into one Class B common share of CCU.ai (a "CCU.ai Share") (which, upon the closing of the Qualifying Transaction, converted into 10.607 Corporation Shares, at a deemed price per Corporation Share of $0.50) and one-half of one CCU.ai Share purchase warrant with each whole warrant entitling the holder thereof to acquire one CCU.ai Share for a period of thirty-six months from the date of issuance, subject to accelerated time of expiry, at an exercise price of $7.96 per CCU.ai Share (which converted into 10.607 warrants to purchase Corporation Shares at a price of $0.75 per Corporation Share following the completion of the Qualifying Transaction).
