MPV Exploration Inc. (“MPV” or the “Company”) is pleased
to announce that it has executed a definitive agreement (the “Definitive Agreement”) with
Entheon Biomedical Corp. (“Entheon”), whereby the Company will acquire all of the issued and
outstanding shares of Entheon pursuant to a three-cornered amalgamation in accordance with
Section 269 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) as further detailed below (the
“Transaction”). The Transaction will constitute a “Fundamental Change” of the Company as
defined by Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) policies.


Pursuant to the Definitive Agreement, the Company will complete a consolidation of its issued
and outstanding common shares (the “Consolidation”) on the basis of one post-Consolidation
common share (the “Company Shares”) for every three (3) outstanding common shares in the
capital of the Company. Following the Consolidation, each of the shareholders of Entheon (the
“Entheon Shareholders”) will receive one (1) Company Share in exchange for each share held
in the capital of Entheon (the “Exchange Ratio”) and holders of convertible securities in
Entheon will receive Company Shares, subject to the Exchange Ratio, in lieu of Entheon Shares
that such holder is entitled to receive upon conversion of the Entheon convertible security.
As a condition to the completion of the Transaction, Subco (as defined below) must complete
a private placement financing as detailed below (the “Concurrent Financing”). Upon
completion of the Transaction, the Company will change its name to “Entheon Biomedical
Corp.” or such other similar name as the parties may agree to (the “Name Change”).
Following completion of the Transaction, the Company will be carrying on the business of
Entheon, which will be the research and development of psychedelic drug products for the
purposes of treating addiction and mental health issues. Entheon intends to conduct clinical
trials and submit drug products for regulatory approval in multiple jurisdictions.
The Transaction will be structured as a three-cornered amalgamation in accordance with
Section 269 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) in which Entheon will
amalgamate with 1254912 B.C. Inc., a newly incorporated, wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company (“Subco”), formed solely for the purpose of conducting the Concurrent Financing
and facilitating the Transaction. Following the Transaction, the amalgamated company will be
a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.


Concurrent Financing


In connection with the Transaction, MPV, through Subco, intends to complete a non-brokered
private placement of subscription receipts at a price of C$0.375 (the “Subscription Receipts”)
per Subscription Receipt such that there is at least C$2,000,000 in working capital in the
Company at the closing of the Transaction.


Each Subscription Receipt will be deemed to be exchanged upon satisfaction of the Release
Conditions (as defined below) without payment of any additional consideration, for one unit of
Subco (each a “Unit”). Each Unit will be comprised of one Class A non-voting common share
in the capital of Subco (each, a “Subco Class A Share”) and one-half of one share purchase
warrant of Subco (each whole warrant, a “Subco Warrant”), which entitles the holder thereof
to purchase a Subco Class A Share at a price of C$0.60 for a period of two years from the date
the Subscription Receipts are converted into Units. Entheon, following completion of the
Transaction, will use the net proceeds from the Concurrent Financing to carry out its preclinical
and human proof of concept studies determining safety, tolerability and dose finding specific
to DMT in the treatment of addictive disorders and for general working capital purposes.
The gross proceeds of the Concurrent Financing will be deposited in escrow on the closing
date and shall be released to Subco upon MPV and Entheon having obtained the approval of
the CSE and completion of certain other administrative matters (the “Release Conditions”).
Closing of the Concurrent Financing is subject to negotiation and execution of definitive
documentation and receipt of all regulatory approvals.

firsthand the difficulty many face as they approach the end of their lives, Dr. Gondi seeks to
explore the therapeutic benefits of psilocybin and drugs like it in helping patients reconcile their
