Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - March 4, 2021) -  LEIIO Wellness Ltd. ("LEIIO" or the "Company"), a premium health and wellness company dedicated to optimizing mental performance through mushroom-derived nootropics and psilocybin microdoses, and MAACKK Capital Corp. ("MAACKK") are pleased to announce the closing of a C$2,000,000 private placement financing (the "Placement") and the signing of a letter of intent ("LOI") for a reverse take-over transaction (the "Transaction") of MAACKK by LEIIO.

"We're thrilled to complete this key financing, which puts LEIIO on the path of accelerated growth and expansion," said Cory Rosenberg, LEIIO's CEO. "As psychedelic-inspired products continue to be approved and make headway through national initiatives, our vision of radically expanding our vertically-integrated supply chain and innovation lab remains our focus as we prepare to launch our first category-defining premium mental performance brand by the second half of 2021."

Net proceeds of the financing will be used for research & development of LEIIO's proprietary formulations and intellectual property, the launch of its nootropic formulations in the US and general working capital. In connection with the financing, the Company issued 10,000,000 LEIIO shares at a price of C$0.20 per share. The Placement was subscribed to by management, accredited investors and early stage-focused institutional capital.

LEIIO is well situated to emerge as an early market leader in the advancement and formulation of regulated and novel psychoactive compounds. As the North American industry accelerates and legal barriers to psilocybin are eliminated, the Company will continue to leverage its research into naturally derived psilocybin microdose protocols through LEIIO Labs to develop a ground-breaking consumer-facing, premium line of proprietary nootropics through LEIIO Brands.

In addition to the Placement, LEIIO has also entered into a LOI with MAACKK, pursuant to which the parties are expected to execute a definitive transaction agreement (the "Agreement"). The Agreement is expected to provide for the merger of LEIIO and MAACKK, resulting in a reverse take-over of MAACKK by LEIIO shareholders.

Based on the Transaction's proposed structure, after giving effect to the Placement, the resulting issuer is expected to have approximately 61,590,580 shares outstanding.

Luminous Capital acted as an advisor to LEIIO on both these transactions.
