TSX-V Conditional Approval

The Company has received conditional approval of the Transaction from the TSX-V. The TSX-V's final acceptance of the Transaction will be conditional upon the Company's completion of all remaining filing requirements pursuant to TSX-V Policy 5.2. CROPS continues to work with Superior Lake to satisfy other conditions precedent to completion of the Transaction, including seeking requisite CROPS shareholder approval, and completion of CROPS' concurrent financing of subscription receipts.

Update on CROPS' Concurrent Financing

As per the terms of the Subscription Agreements and conditional on the satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions, each Subscription Receipt will be automatically converted into one post-consolidated common share in the capital of the Company immediately prior to closing of the Transaction.
