Bloom's mushroom-derived consumer packaged goods portfolio will be led by its novel extracted products: Bloom Mind/Body, Bloom Inside, Bloom Vitality, and Bloom Immune.

The Transaction

The Transaction is expected to proceed by way of a "share exchange" under which OMR will issue 11,600,000 OMR units in exchange for 11,600,000 Bloom shares, which represent 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Bloom. Under the Transaction, shareholders of Bloom will receive an aggregate of 11,600,000 Units (as defined below) of OMR at a deemed price of $0.15 per share, with each unit also consisting of one half of one purchase warrant exercisable at a price of $0.50 for a period of two years, representing aggregate consideration of $1,700,000 for their Bloom shares. The Transaction is subject to completion of certain conditions precedent, including without limitation: execution of the Definitive Agreement; the preparation and filing of a Filing Statement with the Exchange; completion by OMR of a private placement (the "Private Placement") for gross proceeds of no less than $2,000,000; completion of satisfactory mutual due diligence; receipt of required shareholder approvals; and receipt of all necessary regulatory and Exchange approvals.

Under the Private Placement, OMR will raise gross proceeds of no less than $2,000,000 through the issuance of subscription receipts at a price of $0.15 per subscription receipt, which subscription receipts are automatically convertible into units (each, a "Unit") of securities of the Resulting Issuer (as defined below) upon satisfaction of certain conditions. Each Unit comprised of one common share of the Resulting Issuer and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole warrant will be exercisable for one common share of the Resulting Issuer at an exercise price of $0.50 for two years from the date of issuance.

In conjunction with the closing of the Transaction, OMR will change its name to "Bloom Supply Ltd.", or such similar name as is agreed to by the parties (the "Resulting Issuer"). On closing of the Transaction, and assuming that OMR raises $2,000,000 under the Private Placement at a price of $0.15 per subscription receipt, the Resulting Issuer will have 29,635,333 common shares issued and outstanding. The current shareholders of OMR would hold approximately 15.08% of the shares of the Resulting Issuer, participants in the Private Placement would hold approximately 44.99% of the shares of the Resulting Issuer, and the current shareholders of Bloom would hold approximately 39.14% of the shares of the Resulting Issuer.

In addition, the Transaction is not a "related party transaction" as such term is defined by Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions and is not subject to Policy 5.9 of the Exchange. As a result, no meeting of the shareholders of OMR is required pursuant to Policy 2.4 of the Exchange or applicable securities laws.
