Advance Notice By-Law

In connection with the Arrangement, Field Trip H&W has adopted an advance notice by-law which requires advance notice to Field Trip H&W in circumstances where nominations of persons for election to the board of directors are made by shareholders of Field Trip H&W. The advance notice by-law requires advance notice by any shareholder who intends to nominate any person for election as director of Field Trip H&W. Among other things, the advance notice by-law sets a deadline by which such shareholders must notify Field Trip H&W in writing of an intention to nominate directors prior to any meeting of shareholders at which directors are to be elected and sets forth the information that the shareholder must include in the notice for it to be valid. In the case of an annual meeting of shareholders, notice to Field Trip H&W must be made not less than 30 days prior to the date of the annual meeting; provided, however, that if the annual meeting is to be held on a date that is less than 50 days after the date on which the first public announcement of the date of the annual meeting was made, notice may be made not later than the close of business on the 10th day following such public announcement. The full text of the advance notice by-law is available on Field Trip H&W's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.

Related Party Matters

Field Trip H&W made a revolving promissory note (the “Founder Credit Note”) in favour of the five founders of the Company or companies owned or controlled by them (the “Founder Group”). Under the Founder Credit Note, the Founder Group has made a credit facility of up to $2.5 million available to Field Trip H&W to fund working capital. The Founder Credit Note may be drawn down at Field Trip H&W's discretion subject to certain conditions being met and only after six (6) months have elapsed from the listing of the FTHW Shares on the TSXV. The Founder Credit Note bears no interest and terminates on the earlier of (i) Field Trip entering into a third-party credit facility with another creditor, or (ii) the date that is one (1) year from the listing of the FTHW Shares on the TSXV.

The members of Founders Group are considered "related parties" and thus the issuance of the Founders Credit Note constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") requiring Field Trip H&W, in the absence of exemptions, to obtain a formal valuation and minority shareholder approval thereof. Field Trip H&W has relied on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a), 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as the fair market value of the Founders Credit Note does not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of Field Trip H&W, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101. Field Trip H&W did not file a material change report in respect of the related party transaction at least 21 days before the issuance of the Founders Credit Note as such issuance was conditional on the completion of the Arrangement and listing of the FTHW Shares on the TSXV.

Early Warning

As noted above, immediately following the closing of the Arrangement, the Company controls of 21.84% of the issued and outstanding FTHW Shares. The FTHW Shares were acquired for investment purposes and, subject to the Escrow Agreement, the Company may, depending on market and other conditions, increase or decrease its beneficial ownership of FTHW Shares or other securities of the issuer whether in the open market, by privately negotiated agreement or otherwise.

The Company had previously received TSX Venture Exchange conditional listing approval for the spinout transaction of its clinics business into Field Trip H&W, pursuant to the Arrangement involving Field Trip and Field Trip H&W. The Company expects FTHW shares to begin trading on or about August 17, 2022, under the symbol "FTHW". Listing of the FTHW shares on the TSXV is subject to a number of customary conditions which are expected to be fulfilled by the Effective Date or shortly thereafter. Field Trip H&W will be operated as a separate company with separate management teams and Boards of Directors.

“This milestone completes the transition of Field Trip into the two separate companies of Reunion and Field Trip Health & Wellness, which will operate independent strategies, and will have separate boards of directors, management teams and capital structures,” noted Joseph del Moral, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Reunion and Ronan Levy, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Field Trip Health & Wellness. “We are pleased to finalize the corporate reorganization, with Reunion well-placed to progress novel psychedelic drug development and Field Trip Health & Wellness well-positioned to continue leading in the delivery of psychedelic-assisted therapies. We are confident this separation will help to build value over the long term for both businesses, as well as our current and future shareholders.”
