(i) Pharmadrug Inc. (Formerly known as "Aura Health Inc.")

On April 16, 2019, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Aura Health Inc. ("Aura"). Pursuant to the share exchange agreement, FSD acquired 13,562,387 common shares at C$0.2212 per share in the capital of Aura in exchange for the issuance of 65,577 Class B shares of the Company at C$45.75 for a total value of $2,256,900. The FSD shares issued to Aura were subject to a purchase price adjustment, such that FSD would be required to issue additional shares to Aura should the weighted average trading price of FSD's shares fall below the issue price. As the number of additional shares to be issued under the agreement were dependent on the FSD share price, it was determined that this created a derivative liability. As a result of the decline in the Company's share price, on September 20, 2019, 61,892 additional Class B shares of the Company were issued to Aura in settlement for the derivative liability. In 2019, Aura Health Inc. changed its name change to Pharmadrug Inc.

Fair value of the convertible debenture is calculated as the fair value of shares if converted at SVS share price as at December 31, 2020 of C$0.19. The shares have been classified as level 1 within the fair value hierarchy - quoted market price, and the warrants and convertible debenture have been classified as level 2 - valuation technique with observable market inputs.
