Description of World Class Extractions and its Business

World Class Extractions is a Canadian based, Ontario incorporated, developer of an innovative extraction process for both the hemp and cannabis industry. World Class Extractions intends to provide single step continuous flow extraction services to the hemp and cannabis industry. Using patent pending technology, WCE's results produce higher yields and better quality crude hemp oil at faster rates. The technology allows the extraction of CBD Oil and other related extracts from wet or dried natural plants. WCE can save its clients floor space, utility drying costs, equipment and processing labour costs.

Share Split and Exchange of Securities

Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, the Company will effect a share split (the "Share Split") of its issued and outstanding common shares (the "CBD Shares") prior to Closing on a 1:2 basis resulting in approximately 15,343,050 CBD Shares outstanding on a post-Share Split basis. The 2,000,000 issued and stock warrant of the Company ("CBD Warrant") will be split into 4,000,000 CBD Warrants. Each CBD Warrant will be exercisable for one CBD Share at an exercise price of $0.125 per share on a post-Share Split basis.

In accordance with the terms of the Transaction, the Company shall acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of World Class Extractions (the "WCE Shares") in exchange for CBD Shares on a one-for-one basis. The deemed exchange price for the CBD Shares will be $0.15 per CBD Share, or such other price as permitted by governing regulatory bodies.

CBD Shareholder Meeting

Prior to the Closing, the Company will call a meeting of its shareholders for the purpose of approving, among other matters (collectively, the "CBD Meeting Matters"):

  • - a change of name of the Company to "World Class Extractions Inc." or such other name as is directed by WCE and acceptable to applicable regulatory authorities effective upon Closing;
