Mr. Todd Shapiro reports

RED LIGHT HOLLAND AND MERA LIFE SCIENCES TERMINATE AGREEMENT IN ST. VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES

Red Light Holland Corp. has mutually agreed with Mera Life Sciences to terminate the relationship previously announced by the company in its press release dated Aug. 31, 2021.

Under the acquisition agreement dated July 29, 2021, Red Light Holland acquired 100 per cent of the issued and outstanding shares of Mera for $2.45-million. The acquisition agreement contemplated that the consideration would be satisfied through a series of share issuances, for the aggregate issuance of seven million common shares in the capital of the company at the deemed price of 35 cents per Red Light share. As of the date hereof, the company has only issued and released 700,000 Red Light shares to the vendor of Mera. The remaining 6.3 million Red Light shares have not been released to the vendors due to several milestones not being fulfilled, and that the final implementation of St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) regulatory framework for the psychedelics industry has yet to be established; however, the 6.3 million Red Light shares have now been released to the escrow agent to satisfy obligations of the company.

"While we were excited and determined to have the opportunity to work in SVG, unfortunately, their modern medicinal industry was moving slowly while we are moving quickly back home in terms of R&D [research and development]. Red Light Holland is currently working with CCrest Laboratories Inc. with the goal of creating microdosing capsules from our Netherlands' grown Truffles. Our current batch is in CCrest's lab after it was imported under a fourth Health Canada approved psilocybin import permit. We have also hired CLE -- licensing experts -- to help with the process of hopefully applying for a controlled drugs and substances (CDS) dealer's licence at our facility in New Brunswick. As well, we have signed a distribution agreement with NUBU Pharmaceuticals with the goal of distributing our natural psilocybin microdosing capsules to Australia and New Zealand when their development is complete and all regulatory approvals are met," said Todd Shapiro, chief executive officer and director of Red Light Holland.

"We are grateful to the government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines and we are proud of their genuine efforts to move the psychedelic industry forward. We also greatly respect that the SVG government's recent focus was on both COVID-19 safety and volcano relief efforts. We always wish the best for the wonderful people of SVG. I will still sit on the board of directors of Mera Life Sciences and will closely pay attention to the potential future advancement and revisit and update shareholders if there is an opportunity for the company in the future," added Shapiro.

The company will update its shareholders on the termination of the acquisition agreement during today's Q&A (question and answer) session after the company's annual general and special shareholders meeting at 11 a.m. (EST).
