As outlined in the press releases of the Company dated December 3, 2020 and December 4, 2020, Leo entered into a business combination agreement (the "Combination Agreement") with PsyBio Therapeutics Inc. (“PsyBio”) pursuant to which Leo and PsyBio have agreed to complete a transaction that will result in a reverse take-over of Leo by the shareholders of PsyBio (the “Qualifying Transaction”). In connection with entering into of the Combination Agreement and the contemplated Qualifying Transaction, PsyBio, through a special purpose British Columbia company, completed a subscription receipt financing for aggregate gross proceeds of CAD$14,493,394, approximately three times the original CAD$5.0 million target, with significant US and Canadian institutional investor support.

   * Assumes a Consolidation ratio for the Common Shares of 1.6667:1

In the event that the Qualifying Transaction is completed, the directors of the Company who are not directors of the Resulting Issuer will have a period of 12 months to exercise their Options.

In addition, the Company will also apply to the TSXV to extend the expiry date of the option grants expiring on February 17, 2021 to March 5, 2023.

The Options are expected to represent less than 1% of the issued and outstanding shares of the resulting issuer following the Qualifying Transaction.

In addition, the Supplement will add an additional approval threshold for the Continuance Resolution (as defined in the Circular) asking shareholders to approve, among other things, the reclassification of the Corporation's existing Common Shares as subordinate voting shares (the "Subordinate Voting Shares"), and the creation of a new class of shares designated as multiple voting shares (the "Multiple Voting Shares").

The Multiple Voting Shares are being proposed in order to minimize the proportion of the outstanding voting securities of the Corporation that are held by "U.S. persons" for purposes of determining whether the Corporation is a "foreign private issuer" for purposes of United States securities laws. The Multiple Voting Shares will be entitled to one vote in respect of each Subordinate Voting Share into which such Multiple Voting Share could be converted and as such the Multiple Voting Shares do not necessarily hold voting rights that are superior to the holders of Subordinate Voting Shares, on an as converted to Subordinate Voting Shares basis.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the request of the TSXV, the Corporation has been asked to obtain Majority of the Minority Approval (as defined in the policies of the TSXV) for the creation of the Multiple Voting Shares.
