Summary of the Transaction

The LOI sets out the general terms of the Transaction as currently contemplated by the Parties. The precise terms and conditions of the Transaction will be contained in the Definitive Agreement to be negotiated and entered into by the Parties. The Parties have agreed to negotiate in good faith to reach the Definitive Agreement on or before January 15, 2020, and consummate the Transaction on or before March 31, 2020 (the "Closing Date").

The Transaction will take the form of an arrangement, amalgamation or other statutory procedure whereby all of the outstanding Pontus Shares will be exchanged for such number of common shares in the capital of the Company as is equal to the number of Pontus Shares issued and outstanding on the Closing Date (the "Consideration Shares"). Following the Closing, Pontus will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Transaction will be completed pursuant to, and in strict accordance with, corporate law requirements and available exemptions under applicable securities legislation. The Consideration Shares will be subject to applicable resale restrictions, if any.

The completion of the Transaction is subject to the satisfaction of various conditions as are standard for a transaction of this nature, including but not limited to: (i) the Company having had the reasonable opportunity to perform searches and other due diligence, and being satisfied with the results of such due diligence; (ii) receipt of all requisite consents, waivers and approvals for the Transaction, including the approval of the Exchange; (iii) the absence of any material adverse change in the business, affairs or operations of AmWolf or Pontus; (iv) completion of the Private Placement; and (v) Pontus having received the requisite approvals from its shareholders for the Transaction.

Assuming the completion of the Transaction, the minimum subscription of the Private Placement, and that no convertible securities of AmWolf are exercised, a minimum of 45,500,001 common shares of the Resulting Issuer (each, a "Resulting Issuer Share") are expected to be issued and outstanding on the Closing Date of which approximately 12.1% Resulting Issuer Shares will be held by the current shareholders of the Company, approximately 58.6% will be held by the former shareholders of Pontus, and 29.3% will be held by the subscribers under the Private Placement.
