"This transaction not only ensures that CannMart is in capable hands but also allows Lifeist to sharpen its focus on our core mission of transforming human wellness. We believe that this sale represents a strategic win for our shareholders, as it positions Lifeist to allocate more resources towards growing Mikra while still benefiting from Simply Solventless' continued success in the cannabis market."

Lifeist obtained and the requisite shareholder approval to complete the sale of CannMart at its Annual General and Special Meeting held on September 5, 2024 and the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange to close the said transaction.

Each full warrant entitles Lifeist to purchase one SSC Common Share at an exercise price of $0.40 per Common Share for a period of 24 months following the date of issuance, subject to acceleration.
3. a promissory note from SSC (the “VTB Loan”), secured against the assets of CannMart, in the principal amount of $1,700,000 bearing interest at the rate of 3% per annum beginning on the date of the Closing, with the principal and accrued interest repayable by SSC in monthly instalments of principal and interest, payable on the first business day of each month following the date of Closing, as follows: October 1, 2024, $100,000; November 1, 2024, $400,000; December 1, 2024, $150,000; January 1, 2025, $150,000; February 1, 2025, $150,000; March 1, 2025, $150,000, and for each month thereafter, $100,000, until fully paid.
