Century Financial Capital Group Inc. (“Century” or the “Company”) and FV Pharma Inc. (“FV Pharma”) announced that, further to their press release dated January 16, 2018, the parties have executed a definitive business combination agreement (the “Definitive Agreement”) whereby Century will combine with FV Pharma and continue the business of FV Pharma (the “Proposed Transaction”), a licensed producer of marijuana under the Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations (the “ACMPR”).
FV Pharma also announced that it has closed the first tranche of the previously announced private placement of subscription receipts of FV Pharma (“Subscription Receipts”) for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $11.48 million (the “Financing”), for which First Republic Capital Corporation acted as exclusive agent (the “Agent”). Under the first tranche of the Financing, 127,598,403 Subscription Receipts were sold at a price of $0.09 per Subscription Receipt (the “Subscription Price”).
FV Pharma also announced that, due to investor demand, FV Pharma and the Agent are increasing the maximum amount to be raised under the Financing from up to $21 million to up to $34 million. FV Pharma may now issue up to 377,777,778 Subscription Receipts at the Subscription Price under the Financing.

Definitive Agreement
Under the terms of the Definitive Agreement, the Proposed Transaction will be completed by way of a “three-cornered amalgamation” pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), whereby 2620756 Ontario Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Century, will amalgamate with FV Pharma (the “Amalgamation”), and the amalgamated entity will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Century. Concurrently with the completion of the Amalgamation, Century will change its name to “Cannabis ConneXion Corp.” (the “Resulting Issuer”) and will carry on the business of FV Pharma as a medical cannabis producer under the ACMPR.
Pursuant to the terms of the Definitive Agreement and in connection with the Amalgamation:
(a) Century will, subject to shareholder approval, amend its articles to (i) amend and designate the current common shares of Century (the “Existing Century Shares”) as Class B subordinate voting shares (the “Century Class B Shares”); and (ii) create a new class of Class A multiple voting shares (the “Century Class A Shares”);
(b) holders of outstanding Class A common voting shares of FV Pharma (the “FV Class A Shares”) will receive one (1) Century Class A Share for each one (1) FV Class A Share held;
(c) holders of outstanding Class B common non-voting shares of FV Pharma (the “FV Class B Shares” and, together with the FV Class A Shares, the “FV Shares”), including FV Class B Shares issued on conversion of the Subscription Receipts, will receive one (1) Century Class B Share for each one (1) FV Class B Share held; and
(d) all outstanding options to purchase FV Shares and options to purchase Existing Century Shares will be exchanged, on an equivalent basis, for options to purchase Century Class B Shares, and all outstanding warrants to purchase FV Class B Shares and warrants to purchase Existing Century Shares will be exchanged, on an equivalent basis, for warrants to purchase Century Class B Shares.
There are currently 54,230,708 Existing Century Shares issued and outstanding. Excluding the FV Class B Shares to be issued on conversion of the Subscription Receipts sold pursuant to the Financing, there are currently 15,000 FV Class A Shares and 776,486,361 FV Class B Shares issued and outstanding, and the Company expects to have 15,000 Century Class A Shares and 830,717,069 Century Class B Shares issued and outstanding as a result of the Proposed Transaction on an undiluted basis. Accordingly, excluding the FV Class B Shares to be issued on conversion of the Subscription Receipts, approximately 6.5% of the Century Class B Shares will be held by shareholders of Century and approximately 93.5% of the Century Class B Shares and all of the Century Class A Shares will be held by former shareholders of FV Pharma following closing of the Transaction. The shares held by new “principals” of Century will be subject to such escrow requirements as may be imposed by the securities regulatory authorities.
The Definitive Agreement includes a number of conditions, including, but not limited to, requisite shareholder approvals, completion of the Financing, receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the conditional approval of the Canadian Stock Exchange (“CSE”), satisfaction of the minimum listing requirements of the CSE and other closing conditions customary to transactions of the nature of the Proposed Transaction. There can be no assurance that the Proposed Transaction will be completed as proposed or at all. The Proposed Transaction will be carried out by parties dealing at arm’s length to one another and therefore will not be considered to be a non-arm’s-length transaction.

Changes in Board and Management
On closing of the Proposed Transaction, Gord Wilton will resign from the board of directors of the Company and the board will be reconstituted to be comprised of Yaron Conforti, Harry Bregman, Thomas Fairfull, Zeeshan Saeed and Donal Carroll. Yaron Conforti will also resign as CEO, President, Secretary and Treasurer of the Company. Following completion of the Proposed Transaction, it is expected that each of Yaron Confori and Harry Bregman will also resign from the board and be replaced with additional nominees to be determined by FV Pharma or the then current board.
