Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – November 4, 2022) – High Fusion Inc. (CSE: FUZN) (“High Fusion” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive arrangement agreement (the “Agreement“) with Neural Therapeutics Inc. (“Neural“) with respect to the distribution of a approximately one quarter of High Fusion’s shareholdings in Neural to High Fusion shareholders (“Transaction“).

High Fusion CEO John Durfy commented, “This strategic spin-out of our holdings in Neural, featuring its own leadership team, is designed to immediately unlock the value of Neural and provide a benefit to our shareholders.“

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company will recommend to the shareholders at an upcoming shareholder meeting to distribute 4,716,667 common shares in the capital of Neural (“Neural Shares“) to the shareholders of the Company. Subject to shareholder approval, Neural Shares will be distributed to all the holders of High Fusion subordinate voting shares (“SVS“) and High Fusion multiple voting shares (“MVS“) on a pro-rata basis, based on the number of votes held by each of the SVS and MVS holders. Upon completion of the above distribution, High Fusion will retain ownership of approximately 13,266,667 Neural Shares, representing approximately 34.1% of the Neural Shares issued and outstanding as of the date hereof.

Subject to shareholder approval, the Transaction will occur by way of a plan of arrangement (“Plan of Arrangement“) under the provisions of Canada Business Corporations Act, whereby holders of SVS and MVS will receive an aggregate of 4,716,667 Neural Shares via a share exchange (“Share Exchange“). The Share Exchange ratio is subject to the High Fusion share structure as of final record date for the Transaction. The record date for the Share Exchange will be announced promptly following receipt of the requisite shareholder and regulatory approvals.

Closing of the Transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including: (i) shareholder approval; (ii) court approval of the Plan of Arrangement pursuant to the Agreement; and (iii) certain other customary conditions set out in the Agreement.

Neural has not applied to list Neural Shares on any stock exchange in Canada or other jurisdictions, but it is expected that upon completion of the Transaction, Neural will become an unlisted reporting issuer pursuant to applicable securities laws. Neural intends to apply to list Neural Shares on a stock exchange following the completion of the Transaction, but such listing is subject to exchange and regulatory approval, and there is no assurance that Neural will obtain such listing.

Further information regarding the Arrangement will be provided in subsequent news releases, and in an information circular to be prepared in connection with an annual and special meeting of High Fusion shareholders which will be filed on SEDAR. Shareholders are cautioned that final details of the Arrangement are subject to change and that there is no certainty that the Transaction will be completed as currently proposed or at all.

An investment in securities of High Fusion and Neural should be considered highly speculative and prospective investors should consult their advisors prior to making any investment decisions.
