BURLINGTON, Ontario – October 5, 2023 – Rapid Dose Therapeutics Corp. (“RDT” or the “Company”) (CSE: DOSE) announced today that as contemplated in the secured convertible notes (the “Notes”) previously issued on its placement financing (the “Financing”), the Company intends to issue common shares (“Common Shares”) in satisfaction of the loan fee and accrued interest payable on September 30, 2023 under the terms of the Financing and the Notes.

The Financing allowed for up to $5,000,000 of gross proceeds, consisting of up to 5,000,000 units (the “Units”) at a price of $1.00 per Unit.  Each Unit consists of $1.00 principal amount of

Notes and five (5) common share purchase warrants of the Company (the “Warrants”).  The Company has closed two tranches of the Financing, issuing an aggregate of $1,779,445 principal amount of Notes and 8,897,225 Warrants.

The Notes have a maturity date of November 30, 2025 and bear interest from their date of issue at 12.0% per annum, calculated monthly, accrued, added to principal and payable quarterly in arrears in Common Shares at a price per share equal to the closing market price of the Common Shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) on the last trading day of each calendar quarter.  A loan initiation fee of 5% is payable in Common Shares at the end of the first calendar quarter following the applicable closing date at a price per share equal to the closing market price of the Common Shares on the CSE on the last trading day of such calendar quarter.

The Company intends to issue 1,241,888 Common Shares to the holders of the Notes at a deemed issue price of $0.10 per Common Share, being the closing market price of the Common Shares on the CSE on September 29, 2023, in satisfaction of the aggregate of $124,189.98 loan fee and accrued interest owing on the Notes.

Furthermore, the Company intends to issue 132,397 Common Shares to Madison Partners Corporation in connection with the $250,000 of secured debt held by Madison Partners Corporation (the “Madison Debt”).  Madison Partners Corporation is a holding company of John McKimm, a director of the Company.

As previously announced, $250,000 of the Company’s secured debt that was initially due on July 5, 2023 was acquired by Madison Partners Corporation.  Madison Partners Corporation agreed to extend the Madison Debt until September 22, 2024 and in exchange the Company agreed to (i) issue 1,250,000 warrants with an exercise price of $0.14, for a one year term and (ii) pay a loan fee of $12,500 to Madison Partners Corporation which is payable in Common Shares at the end of the first calendar quarter following closing, with each such Common Share being issued at the closing market price of a Common Share on the CSE on the last trading day immediately prior to the end of the relevant calendar quarter.  Interest on the Madison Debt is 12.0% per annum calculated monthly, compounded, accrued, added to the principal amount and payable quarterly in arrears on a calendar quarter basis until the Madison Debt is fully repaid.  Interest is payable in Common Shares at the price per share equivalent to the closing market price of a

Common Share on the CSE on the last trading day immediately preceding the end of the relevant interest payment date.

Accordingly, the Company intends to issue 132,397 Common Shares to Madison Partners Corporation at a deemed issue price of $0.10 per Common Share, being the closing market price of the Common Shares on the CSE on September 29, 2023, in satisfaction of the aggregate of $13,239 loan fee and accrued interest owing on the Madison Debt.

All Common Shares issued as payment for accrued interest and loan fees will be subject to a hold period expiring four months and one day from the date of issue of the Common Shares.
