NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the annual general meeting of the shareholders (the "Meeting") of FSD Pharma Inc. (the "Company") will be held virtually, through the AGM Connect meeting platform at www.agmconnect.com/fsd2022 on Thursday, June 23, 2022 at 1:00 p.m. (Toronto/New York time) subject to any adjournments or postponements thereof, for the following purposes (the "Notice of Meeting"):
1. to receive the audited consolidated annual financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, together with the reports of the auditor thereon (the "Financial Statements");
2. to elect directors to the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") for the ensuing year;
3. to re-appoint the auditor of the Company for the ensuing year and to authorize the Board to fix the remuneration of the auditor; and
4. to transact such further and other business as may properly be brought before the Meeting or any adjournment thereof.
Particulars of the foregoing matters are set forth in the Circular. The Board has fixed May 19, 2022 as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting and any postponement or adjournment thereof.
This year, due to the ongoing public health impact of COVID-19 and in order to mitigate risks to the health and safety of the Company's shareholders, employees and other stakeholders, we will hold the Meeting in a virtual only format, which will be conducted via live webcast available online at www.agmconnect.com/fsd2022. Registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders will be able to participate in the Meeting virtually, submit questions and vote their shares while the Meeting is being held. We hope that hosting a virtual meeting helps enable greater participation by our shareholders by allowing shareholders that might not otherwise be able to travel to a physical meeting to attend online, while minimizing the health risks associated with large gatherings.
