Good
afternoon and welcome to another Investorideas.com “potcast”, looking at
cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from thought leaders and

INFRASTRUCTURE CORP. (CSE: CROP) (OTC: CRXPF).
FSD Pharma Inc. (CSE: HUGE) (OTCQB: FSDDF) and Prismic Pharmaceuticals Inc., a
US-based specialty R&D pharmaceutical company, announced today that they have entered into a securities
exchange agreement dated April 22, 2019 pursuant to which FSD Pharma has agreed
to acquire all of the outstanding securities of Prismic. Prismic is developing
novel non-addictive prescription drugs with unique safety profiles with the
goal of addressing the opioid crisis based on formulations utilizing
micro-palmitoylethanolamide's ("PEA") "entourage" effect on
certain drugs impacting the endocannabinoid system.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Agreement, FSD Pharma will acquire all outstanding common
and preferred shares of Prismic for an aggregate purchase price of US$17.5
million (CAD$23.4 million based on an exchange rate of US$1 to CAD$1.3349), to
be satisfied by the issuance of an aggregate of 102.7 million Class B
subordinate voting shares in the capital of FSD Pharma at a deemed price of
CAD$0.2275 (US$0.1704) per FSD Share representing the volume weighted average
price of the FSD Shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange for the ten trading
days prior to the execution of the Agreement. In addition, FSD Pharma has
agreed to assume up to US$4.0 million of outstanding Prismic liabilities on
terms to be mutually agreed by the two companies, some of which may,
potentially, be settled by the issuance of additional FSD Shares. Additionally,
all of the outstanding Prismic stock options and warrants will become
exercisable into FSD Shares, with the number and exercise price of such
securities to be adjusted in accordance with the Transaction's exchange ratio.
