At Altitude's annual & special shareholder meeting (the "Altitude Meeting"), Altitude shareholders approved, among other things: (i) the Amalgamation; (ii) the disposition of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary to a related party (the "Altitude Disposition"); (iii) the delisting of the Company's common shares (the "Altitude Shares") from the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"); (iv) a change of name to "Vibe Biosciences Corp."; and (v) a consolidation of the Altitude Shares on the basis of a ratio of one (1) post-consolidation share for each five (5) to fifteen (15) shares.

At the Altitude Meeting, Altitude shareholders also elected Mark Waldron, Jim Meloche, Gregory Bass and Brian Arbique to serve as the Company's directors from the effective time of the Amalgamation. The current directors of Altitude, Eugene Wusaty, Doug Porter, Wes Roberts, Andrew Wusaty and Pierre Gagnon were elected as directors to serve until the effective time of the Amalgamation.

The completion of the Amalgamation remains subject to the satisfaction of various conditions, including but not limited to: (i) the approval of the delisting of the Altitude Shares from the TSXV; (ii) the approval of the listing of the Altitude Shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE"); (iii) the completion of the Altitude Disposition; (iv) the completion of satisfactory due diligence by each of the parties; and (v) other conditions customary for a transaction of this nature. There can be no assurance that the Amalgamation will be completed on the terms proposed or at all. Altitude and Vibe currently anticipate the Amalgamation will be completed in the first quarter of 2019.
