Explanation of Responses:
(1)  On April 3, 2019, Steven Rossi was issued 13,583,397 shares of Franchise Holdings International, Inc. common stock due to a conversion of all 1,000,000 shares of his Series A Preferred stock. Under the terms of the Amended Certificate of Designation for Series A Preferred Stock filed with the State of Nevada on March 20, 2019. Following the conversion, there are a total of 40,217,509 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding, Mr. Rossi remains the control block holder in the Company by virtue of his ownership of 51% of our common stock, and as such, no change of control occurred. In addition to the 51% Mr. Rossi was issued upon conversion of his 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, Mr. Rossi already owned an additional 1,916,667 shares of the Company's common stock. Following the conversion, all 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred stock were cancelled and returned to treasury, such that there are currently no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.
