As previously announced, in connection with the completion of the Business Combination, the Company intends to split its outstanding common shares (the "Split") on the basis of two (2) post-Split common shares (the "Post-Split Shares") for each one (1) pre-Split common share.

The Split is being conducted on a push-out basis. Share certificates for the additional Post-Split Shares resulting from the Split will be mailed following the Effective Date to shareholders of record as of the Record Date. Shareholders of the Company, with or without a physical share certificate, do not need to take any action with respect to the Split. The Company's transfer agent will send registered owners of common shares a share certificate which will represent the additional Post-Split Shares to be received as a result of the Split.

The Modern Meat Warrants will be exchanged for warrants of the Company on a one (1) for one (1) basis (the "Company Warrants" and, together with the Company Options, the "Convertible Securities").

Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, in connection with the completion of Business Combination, the Company will complete a private placement, which will consist of 2,800,000 Post-Split Shares at a price of $0.25 per share for aggregate proceeds of $700,000 (the "Offering").
