Safe Supply Streaming Co. Ltd. Completes Reverse Take-Over Transaction and Prepares for Listing on the Canadian Securities Exchange

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – September 22, 2023) – Safe Supply Streaming Co. Ltd. (formerly Origin Therapeutics Inc.) (“Safe Supply” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce that it has completed its previously announced reverse take-over transaction (the “Transaction“). The Transaction was completed by way of a three-cornered amalgamation under the Canada Business Corporations Act, whereby the Company was amalgamated with the predecessor entity operating as Safe Supply Streaming Co. Ltd (“SSSC“).

Safe Supply is the first company that was created to invest in and incubate companies at the forefront of the third wave of drug policy reform.

Safe Supply anticipates that the common shares of the Company (the “Shares“) will commence trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE“) on or about September 26, 2023, under the symbol “SPLY“, subject to customary conditions, including the final approval of the CSE.

“This is a watershed moment for the safe supply ecosystem and the third wave of drug policy reform,” said Bill Panagiotakapoulos, Safe Supply’s CEO. “Jurisdictions around the world are descheduling, rescheduling and legalizing drugs, which is not only smart policy, it is creating a massive investment opportunity. Our public listing on the CSE gives investors a means to gain exposure to this movement, as we execute on our strategy to invest in and incubate companies at the forefront of this opportunity, and help to bring a responsible end to the war on drugs.”

In connection with the Closing:

• The management and board of directors of the Company was reconstituted to consist of Bill Panagiotakopoulos, Setti Coscarella, Najla Guthrie, Frank Selvetti and Dr. James Obaji.

• Shareholders of SSSC received one Share for every common share of SSSC held.

Following closing of the Transaction, the Company has 70,217,750 Shares outstanding, of which 14,140,750 Shares are held by the shareholders of Origin Therapeutics Inc. prior to the completion of the Transaction (and after a 4:1 consolidation of common shares of Origin Therapeutics Inc.) and 56,077,000 Shares (inclusive of subscribers in the Concurrent Financing) are held by the former shareholders of SSSC.
