1.   INTRODUCTION
     The Company was incorporated by the Founder, Gabriel Theron, for the purposes of being listed on the Main Board as a SPAC to pursue acquisitions of, and
     investments in, commercial enterprises operating in the Biotech, Biohacking or Pharmaceutical sector that will enable it to develop and expand methodologies by
     utilising Artificial Intelligence (AI) and expertise of medical specialists to deliver holistic and individualised solutions to customers to better their health, performance
     and increase their longevity.
     
     If the Company does not Complete an acquisition of Viable Assets within 24 months (or such longer period as the JSE may permit), the Company will, by way of
     a voluntary liquidation, return the money plus interest then held by, or on behalf of, the Company less the aggregate of all amounts payable by, or on behalf of,
     the Company, including, without limitation, Permissible Operating Expenses and any amounts payable by, or on behalf of, the Company to implement the
     liquidation. Funds raised by a SPAC must be held in escrow, under care of RMB the appointed Escrow Agent, until an acquisition of Viable Assets is approved
     by shareholders.

2.   ACQUISITION CRITERIA
     The Viable Assets, which will be managed by the Company following their acquisition, may include direct or indirect investments in projects and/or businesses
     whose purpose is to cultivate, manufacture, analyse, distribute, or retail in any of the pharmaceutical, biotech or biohacking industries, and in respect of which
     the Board has identified an opportunity to enhance the combined offering of complete service and product offering of the Company with the goal to improve
     profitability, thereby maximising Shareholder return.

      Viable Assets that the Company intends to acquire, will be selected on the basis that, in line with the investment policy and guidelines set out above, the following
      criteria are met:
      • the assets satisfy any of the “Pharmaceutical” and/or “Biotech” and/or “Biohacking” investment criterion;
      • the assets are globally positioned; and
      • the assets have the potential to be cash-generative or improve the service offering of the Company to increase the Company’s value.
      As at the Last Practicable Date, the Company had not entered into any formal and binding acquisition agreements to acquire any Viable Assets as required in
     terms of paragraph 4.34(a) of the JSE Listings Requirements. The acquisition of Viable Assets is subject to approval by the majority of disinterested directors and
     the majority of security holders at a general meeting.

3.   ACQUISITION PIPELINE
     The industries Cilo Cybin envisions to participate in include Biotech, Cannabis, Psychedelics, wearable devices and custom nutrition, subject to regulatory
     approvals where required.

     According to a report by Vision Research Reports (published in 2021) the global biotech market will grow at a compound annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 16.83%
     to surpass the USD 1 trillion mark in 2022 – the global biotechnology market was valued at USD752 billion in 2020 – and is expected to reach USD3.44 trillion
     in size by 2030. Based on a report by New Frontier Data the global illicit cannabis market is expected to be USD 445.3 billion in 2025 and the legal market
     around USD51 billion even with regulatory constraints. The psychedelic drug for medicinal use market was valued at USD 4 billion in 2021 and is expected to
     grow to approximately USD7.5 billion by 2026. The Psychedelic Drugs market for medical purposes is growing rapidly due to the increasing prevalence of
     depression and other mental disorders worldwide. Based on research from Global Wearable Medical Devices Market in a 2021 report, the global wearable
     medical devices market is expected to grow from $8.35 billion in 2020 to $24.38 billion in 2025 at a CAGR of approximately 24%.

     The Company has identified potential opportunities to acquire several assets located in South Africa and United States of America.

     One of these assets are Cilo Cybin Pharmaceutical Proprietary Limited (“CCP”). Gabriel Theron is also the founder and main shareholder in CCP. Therefore,
     CCP will be a Viable Asset that will be considered. The board will also consider other assets that have not been named in the Prospectus, due to the sensitivity
     of such information.
     CCP has a state-of-the-art cultivation, manufacturing and packaging facility in Midrand. The vision of the Company, from the outset, was not to sell cannabis
     flower, as a final product but rather processed products. CCP holds a GACP license from the regulator in South Africa, SAHPRA to cultivate cannabis and a
     second license for the manufacturing facility, making CCP the first Company in South Africa to have both GACP and GMP cannabis licenses in one Company.
     CCP develops, manufactures and distributes its own products.

6.2   CONDITIONS
      The Listing on the Main Board is conditional on raising the Minimum Amount and achieving a spread of Shareholders, acceptable to the JSE, being a minimum
      of public Shareholders holding not less than 20% of the issued Share capital of the Company. The offer and Listing are conditional on obtaining the Minimum
