Contingencies

Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement and Tax Matters Agreement between Neurotrope and Synaptogenix (the “Tax Matters Agreement”), Neurotrope agreed to indemnify Synaptogenix for certain liabilities, and Synaptogenix agreed to indemnify Neurotrope for certain liabilities, in each case for uncapped amounts. Indemnities that Synaptogenix may be required to provide Neurotrope are not subject to any cap, may be significant and could negatively impact Synaptogenix’s (now TAO Synergies Inc.) business, particularly with respect to indemnities provided in the Tax Matters Agreement. Third parties could also seek to hold Synaptogenix (now TAO Synergies Inc.) responsible for any of the liabilities that Neurotrope has agreed to retain. Further, the indemnity from Neurotrope may not be sufficient to protect Synaptogenix (now TAO Synergies Inc.) against the full amount of such liabilities, and Neurotrope may not be able to fully satisfy its indemnification obligations. Moreover, even if Synaptogenix ultimately succeeds in recovering from Neurotrope any amounts for which Synaptogenix (now TAO Synergies Inc.) is held liable, Synaptogenix (now TAO Synergies Inc.) may be temporarily required to bear these losses. As of the reporting date, there are no claims relating to the indemnification agreement.
