After the Special Meeting and the approval of the new classes of securities, the Company issued 28,986 Class A Special Shares in accordance with the terms of the SEA, as amended. The Company intends to hold a second special meeting of shareholders to seek approval for the issuance of an aggregate of 955,194 Class B Special Shares issuable to the former FTFC shareholders pursuant to the terms of the SEA, as amended.

 

iii.Assumption of FTFC Indebtedness:

 

In connection with the Business Combination and the closing, the Company entered into a Debt Settlement Agreement and a Convertible Promissory Note with each of PGC Finco Inc. (“PGC”) and Dunstan Holdings Ltd. (“Dunstan”).

 

Pursuant to the PGC Settlement Agreement, in satisfaction of all indebtedness of FTFC to PGC through the closing, the Company assumed indebtedness of FTFC in the aggregate principal amount of US$4,153,078 which is evidenced by a convertible promissory note (the “PGC Note”), and the Company agreed to pay to PGC a cash payment of $500,000 and issue to PGC, upon shareholder approval therefor, 111,432 (post-reverse split) Class B Special Shares.

 

Pursuant to the Dunstan Settlement Agreement, in satisfaction of all indebtedness of FTFC to Dunstan through the closing, the Company assumed indebtedness of FTFC in the aggregate principal amount of US$756,917.28 which is evidenced by a convertible promissory note (the “Dunstan Note”), and the Company agreed to issue to Dunstan, upon shareholder approval therefor, 35,044 (post-reverse stock split) Class B Special Shares.

 

Each of the PGC Note and the Dunstan Note (collectively, the “Notes”) has a maturity date of August 19, 2031, has an interest rate of 8-1/2% per annum payable semiannually in arrears, and are secured by all of the assets of the Company. Each Note may be converted from time to time by either the Company or the holder of the Note, into common shares of the Company, subject to first obtaining approval from the shareholders of the Company at the Second Shareholder Meeting. The conversion price shall be a price per share equal to the greater of (a) $1.36 and (b) a ten percent discount to the seven trading day VWAP immediately prior to receipt of the conversion notice.

 

iv.Consideration Note:

 

In connection with the Business Combination and the closing, the Company entered into a promissory note with a Shareholder (the “Consideration Note”) , in lieu of the Company issuing Class A Special Shares and Class B Special Shares as consideration to such shareholder.

In addition, the Company paid to the holder of the Consideration Note a commitment fee of $424,018.98.

 

The Consideration Note is secured by all of the assets of the Company pursuant to a General Security Agreement dated as of August 19, 2025, but such security interest has been subordinated to the Notes and the security interest held by PGC and Dunstan.

v.Convertible Note Transaction:

 

On September 12, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement dated September 11, 2025 (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Selling Stockholders, to issue and sell to each of the Selling Stockholders a convertible promissory note (each, individually, a “September Note” and collectively, the “September Notes”), for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $12,000,000, before deducting fees to the Placement Agent (as defined below) and other expenses payable by the Company in connection with the offering (the “September Offering”). The closing of the September Offering occurred on September 12, 2025.

 

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the September Notes for (i) marketing purposes of up to $3.5 million, (ii) for the renewal and continued development of the Company’s Gabriola, B.C. site, (iii) working capital and general corporate purposes of up $3 million and (iv) up to $7 million to be used for the repayment of certain indebtedness. Subsequent to the closing of the September Offering, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement with IR Agency LLC, for IR Agency to provide six months of marketing and advertising services to the Company for a fee of $3.5 million, payable in advance.

 

Univest Securities, LLC (the “Placement Agent”) acted as placement agent for the September Offering.

 

The maturity date of each September Note is the 12-month anniversary of the issuance date of such September Note, and is the date upon which the principal amount, as well as any other fees, shall be due and payable. The September Notes bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum.

 

Each Selling Stockholder has the right, at any time, to convert all or any portion of the then outstanding and unpaid principal amount and interest if any (including any costs, fees and charges) into the Company’s common shares, no par value (the “Common Shares”) at a conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) equal to the lower of (i) $14.40 per share (the “Initial Conversion Price”), (ii) 85% of the VWAP (as defined in the September Notes) of the Common Shares during the five consecutive Trading Day (as defined in the September Notes) period ending and including the Trading Day immediately preceding the delivery of the Conversion Notice (as defined in the September Notes); or (iii) 85% of the Closing Sale Price (as defined in the September Notes) on the Trading Day prior to the Conversion Notice being submitted; provided, however, that in no event shall the Conversion Price equal a price per share that is less than $3.39.

 

In addition, the Company entered into an engagement letter with the Placement Agent dated August 11, 2025, pursuant to which the Placement Agent agreed to serve as the placement agent for the issuance and sale of securities of the Company. As compensation for such placement agent services, the Company has agreed to pay the Placement Agent an aggregate cash fee equal to 2.5% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the Offering, plus $50,000 for its fees and expenses. Accordingly, the Company paid the Placement Agent $300,000 in cash fees in relation to the September Offering.

The remaining Shareholders will instead receive as consideration an aggregate of US$14,100,000, payable by the Company 18 months after the closing of the Business Combination. The Company also agreed to assume outstanding options granted by FTFC and certain indebtedness of FTFC.
