Entities on track to merge under PSLY.com and list on NASDAQ Stock Exchange

MIAMI and MAUI, Hawaii, May 19, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mycotopia Therapies Inc. (OTC Pink: TPIA) (the “Company”), a biopharma company focused on research, technology, and the development of medical psychedelics, announced today an update on the previously announced merger with Ei.Ventures Inc. (“Ei”).

MERGER UPDATE

Ei has executed a definitive agreement with Mycotopia bringing the two entities together under PSLY.com as the companies move forward with their plan of uplisting to the NASDAQ stock exchange.

PSLY.com will be the parent entity owning all the assets of Ei and Mycotopia.

As previously reported, Ei shareholders will receive shares in PSLY.com based upon a valuation of $360 Million (subject to adjustment as set forth in the merger agreement) at the close of transaction. Mycotopia shareholders will receive shares in PSLY.com based upon a valuation of more than $23 million at the close of the transaction.

The companies anticipate closing the transaction on or about July 30, 2022.

MERGER SYNERGIES

Upon the closing of the transaction, PSLY.com will have a market value of approximately $383 million.

As Ei founder and CEO David Nikzad explains: “Of all the companies out there, we were most excited by Mycotopia. The areas where they specialize and have been working complement the Ei mission and business plan perfectly. They are helping us bring our products from the land back to the land. A journey my cofounder Jason Hobson and I began over 20 years ago. In Hawaii, we call this ‘going back to aina.’”

Since psilocybin is legal in Jamaica and the Netherlands, Ei will be able to leverage Mycotopia’s presence in both countries as a launching pad for its psilocybin consumer and medicinal product lines. This includes Odyssey Elixir, Psilly patches, and the Mana nutraceuticals line as well as any products developed in the future. Mycotopia will be able to leverage Ei’s proprietary formulations, as well as the benefits from the recent strategic investments in Odyssey Wellness LLC Elixir and Avicanna.

Mycotopia founder and CEO Ben Kaplan stated: “The combination of Ei and Mycotopia is a perfect combination of synergies. We are in markets where psilocybin is already legal. And Ei has been at the forefront of psychedelic thought, formulation, and implementation since the early days. Combining forces makes sense for the shareholders of both companies, as well as the millions of people that could potentially benefit from our combined product pipeline.”

PSLY.com will continue to expand in physical markets as well as in the digital realm – building on Ei’s recent purchase of hundreds of acres in the Metaverse. Combining the physical and digital will help Ei achieve its founding mission statement: to help over one billion people with natural, non-synthetic remedies derived from nature – not a lab.

Ei and Mycotopia will continue to update shareholders and the market on the path to a NASDAQ listing, as well as other material updates as PSLY.com launches into the market.

The Subscription-based Functional Mushroom Company has established a significant consumer base in the U.S.

VANCOUVER, BCDec. 20, 2021 /CNW/ – Havn Life Sciences Inc. (CSE: HAVN) (OTC: HAVLF) (FSE: 5NP) (the “Company” or “Havn Life”), a biotechnology company developing natural health products and innovative therapies to support central nervous system health and enhance the capabilities of the mind, is pleased to announce it has entered into a definitive agreement (the “Definitive Agreement“) to acquire (the “Acquisition“) all of the outstanding securities of Spore Life Sciences Inc. (“Spore“), on the terms and conditions set forth in the Definitive Agreement. Toronto-based Spore Life Sciences Inc. is a leading wellness brand focused on functional mushroom formulations, with a significant U.S. consumer base of more than 110,000 Spore customers, nearly 40,000 subscribers, resulting in year to date revenues as of the end of November 2021 of nearly CAD$8 million, and current sales of more than $1 million USD per month.

“With this Definitive Agreement, HAVN Life is looking to strengthen its position as a leader in brain health focused nutritional supplements,” says HAVN Life CEO Tim Moore. “Upon completion of the Acquisition, we will add these high quality formulations to the HAVN Life natural health product portfolio,” he adds.

Spore was co-founded by CEO and president Michael Zavet, who began looking into the beneficial properties of functional mushrooms to deal with his own personal health matters. The completion of the Acquisition will bring in nine additional formulations under the HAVN Life retail brand, adding to the Company’s growing selection of natural health products that support overall health and cognitive function.

“We are very excited about this potential partnership and believe that HAVN Life’s strong leadership team in the psychedelic space, its experience with natural health products, and network in retail are extremely complementary to our business,” says Spore CEO, Michael Zavet. “We are also excited to support HAVN’s psychedelic endeavors through our digital marketing channels and large customer base,” he adds.

Acquisition Details

The Acquisition will proceed by way of a three-cornered amalgamation among HAVN Life, its newly incorporated, wholly-owned subsidiary, 1000053494 Ontario Inc. (“HAVN Subco“), and Spore, pursuant to which: (i) HAVN Subco and Spore shall amalgamate under the governing provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), after which the amalgamated entity shall continue as one corporation (“Amalco“); (ii) the holders of common shares of Spore (the “Spore Shares“) shall receive an aggregate of 95,000,000 common shares of the HAVN Life (the “Consideration Shares“) for the Spore Shares issued and outstanding prior to closing, following which all such Spore Shares shall be cancelled; (iii) HAVN Life shall receive one common share of Amalco (each, an “Amalco Share“) for each common share of HAVN Subco (each, a “HAVN Subco Share“) held by HAVN Life, following which all such HAVN Subco Shares shall be cancelled; and (iv) in consideration of the issuance of the HAVN Shares, Amalco shall issue to HAVN Life one Amalco Share for each HAVN Share issued (the “Amalgamation“).

Pursuant to the Definitive Agreement, in connection with the completion of the Amalgamation and Acquisition, HAVN Life is to enter into: (i) a consulting agreement with Alex Kaplunov, the current Chief Financial Officer and Secretary of Spore, to provide the services of Chief Business Development Officer; (ii) a consulting agreement with Michael Zavet, the current Chief Executive Officer and President of Spore, to provide the services of Chief Revenue Officer; and (iii) a consulting agreement with Neon Flux LLC to provide marketing and advertising services (each, a “Consulting Agreement“, and collectively, the “Consulting Agreements“).

In addition, HAVN Life has agreed to issue up to $11,000,000 worth of common shares to the former shareholders of Spore, and up to $19,000,000 worth of common shares to certain consultants that will join HAVN Life upon completion of the Acquisition (collectively, the “Milestone Shares“), as follows in the event the following milestones (each, an “Earn-Out Milestone“) are achieved:

provided that only one Earn-Out Milestone can be achieved in any consecutive six-month period following the completion of the Amalgamation, such that the earliest all Earn-Out Milestones can be achieved is within 18 months following the completion of the Amalgamation. The number of Milestone Shares issuable upon achievement of a particular Earn-Out Milestone will be based on the volume weighted average price of the HAVN Life’s common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange for the 10 trading days immediately prior to the date of issuance of such Milestone Shares.

The Definitive Agreement also grants the shareholders of Spore the right to nominate and have one (1) director elected to HAVN Life’s board of directors until the earlier of: (i) the achievement of the last Earn-Out Milestone (as described above) and the issuance of the applicable Milestone Shares as a result of such achievement; and (ii) date that is 30 months following the completion of the Amalgamation.

Upon the completion of the Acquisition, the Company is expected to pay finder’s fee to Halpern & Co. Limited for finder’s services rendered in connection with introducing the Company to Spore for the purposes of facilitating the Acquisition, in the amount of 3,000,000 common shares of the Company.

The Consideration Shares

The Consideration Shares issued in connection with the Amalgamation to certain shareholders of Spore who are also members of Spore’s management (the “Spore Management Shareholders“) shall be subject to lock up for up to 24 months following the completion of the Amalgamation.

The Consideration Shares issued in connection with the Amalgamation to various shareholders of Spore who each hold at least 5% of the issued and outstanding Spore Shares shall be subject to lock up, such that the Consideration Shares issued to such shareholders of Spore will be released from lock up as follow: (i) 25% of the Consideration Shares shall be released from the lock up four months following the completion of the Amalgamation; (ii) 25% of the Consideration Shares shall be released from the lock up eight months following the completion of the Amalgamation; and (iii) 50% of the Consideration Shares shall be released from the lock up 12 months following the completion of the Amalgamation.

The Consideration Shares issued to the remaining shareholders of Spore shall be locked up for a period of four months following the completion of the Amalgamation.

Any Milestone Shares issued upon the achievement of an Earn-Out Milestone to Spore Management Shareholders shall be subject to lock up on the following basis: (i) one-fourth (1/4) of the Milestone Shares shall be subject to a four-month lock up from the date of issuance; (ii) one-fourth (1/4) of the Milestone Shares shall be subject to a 12 month lock up from the date of issuance; and (iii) one-half (1/2) of the Milestone Shares shall be subject to an 18 month lock up from the date of issuance, provided, however, in the event: * a Spore Management Shareholder terminates its Consulting Agreement with HAVN Life within 24 months following the completion of the Amalgamation; or (y) such Consulting Agreement is terminated by HAVN due to breach of the Consulting Agreement by the Spore Management Shareholder within 24 months following the completion of the Amalgamation, one-half (1/2) of the Milestone Shares remaining subject to lock up at the time the Consulting Agreement is terminated shall be forfeited by the Spore Management Shareholder to HAVN Life for cancellation.

Additionally, in the event: * a Spore Management Shareholder terminates its Consulting Agreement with HAVN Life; or (y) such Consulting Agreement is terminated by HAVN due to breach of the Consulting Agreement by the Spore Management Shareholder prior to the date that an Earn-Out Milestone is achieved, such Spore Management Shareholder shall have been deemed to forfeit its entitlement to the issuance of the corresponding Milestone Shares.

Finally, the obligations of HAVN Life to issue any Milestone Shares upon the achievement of an Earn-Out Milestone may be satisfied by HAVN Life, at its sole discretion, through equivalent cash payments.

The closing of the Acquisition is subject to a number of conditions including, without limitation: (i) receipt of all required regulatory and third-party consents, including the requisite approval of the shareholders of Spore under the Business Corporation Act (Ontario); (ii) such number of shareholders of Spore representing not less than 25% of the issued and outstanding Spore Shares entering into voting support agreements with HAVN Life; (iii) less than five percent (5%) of the issued and Spore Shares having exercised dissent rights under the Business Corporation Act (Ontario); (iv) the Spore Management Shareholders entering into the Consulting Agreements; (v) the Spore Management Shareholders entering into non-competition and non solicitation agreements in a form satisfactory to HAVN Life; and (vi) satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

Secured Convertible Loan

On October 28, 2021, HAVN Life purchased a $750,000 secured convertible note from Spore (the “Secured Convertible Note“). Pursuant to the Secured Convertible Note, Spore is required to pay interest to HAVN on the unpaid principal amount of the Secured Convertible Note from January 1, 2022 at a rate per annum equal to 12% until the full and final repayment of the principal amount of the Secured Convertible Note. The Secured Convertible Note is: (i) repayable in full (including interest accrued thereon) on December 31, 2022; or (ii) convertible, at HAVN Life’s option, into Spore Shares at a conversion price equal to the lesser of: * $1.28 per Spore Share; and (y) the price per Spore Share attributed thereto in Spore’s last financing completed prior to the conversion of the Secured Convertible Note.

Upon completion of the Acquisition, the Secured Convertible Note shall become an intercompany loan.
