Except as otherwise prescribed by the Canada Business Corporations Act, at a meeting of shareholders of the Company, each Super Voting Share entitles the holder thereof to one hundred (100) votes in respect of each Super Voting Share held at such meetings, and subject to certain limitations, each Super Voting Share is convertible into one hundred (100) Subordinate Voting Shares. Additional information regarding the Super Voting Shares may be found in the Listing Statement, which is expected to be filed on SEDAR under the Company’s profile prior to the commencement of trading of the Subordinate Voting Shares on the CSE.

Of these issued and outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares, (i) former shareholders of Potbotics hold (A) 2,920,019 Super Voting Shares, representing 100% of the Super Voting Shares issued and outstanding, and (B) 22,985,877 Subordinate Voting Shares, representing 11.40% of the Subordinate Voting Shares issued and outstanding, (ii) the original shareholders of the Company hold 34,789,098 Subordinate Voting Shares, representing approximately 17.26% of the issued and outstanding Subordinate Voting Shares, (iii) subscribers in certain financings completed by the Company prior to the completion of the Transaction hold 127,226,843 Subordinate Voting Shares, representing approximately 63.11% of the issued and outstanding Subordinate Voting Shares, and (iv) a certain third party finder holds 15,000,000 Subordinate Voting Shares, representing approximately 7.44% of the issued and outstanding Subordinate Voting Shares, in each of the foregoing cases on a non-diluted basis.
