ALBUQUERQUE, NM, Dec. 6, 2023 /CNW/ - CRAFT 1861 Global Holdings Inc. (Cboe Canada/NEO: HUMN, HUMN.WT.A) (the "Company" or "Craft Global") announced today that, it has scheduled the hearing of the final order (the "Final Order") to take place on December 14, 2023 at approximately 9:45 a.m. (Vancouver time) at the Supreme Court of British Columbia (the "Court") in which Craft Global, assuming the approval of the Arrangement Resolution (as defined herein), will seek the Final Order to implement the proposed transaction (the "Arrangement") pursuant to which the Company will combine with Nano Cures International, Inc. ("Nano") by plan of arrangement.

Further to the Company's news release issued on November 22, 2023, the Company reminds its securityholders that due to a delay in the mailing of the management information circular and related meeting materials, and the filing of a supplement to the management information circular, (collectively, the "Meeting Materials") for its upcoming annual general meeting of shareholders and special meeting of securityholders (the "Meeting") to be held in connection with the Arrangement, the Company intends to adjourn the Meeting that was initially scheduled for December 7, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver time) until December 12, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. (Vancouver time).

The adjourned Meeting to be held on December 12, 2023 will still be held at the offices of McMillan LLP located at Royal Centre, 1055 West Georgia St. #1500, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6E 4N7. Securityholders of CRAFT may also join the Meeting virtually as per the details provided in the Meeting Materials.

The Meeting Materials are available on the Company's website at: https://craft1861global.com/shareholder-docs-AGM-2023/ and have also been filed by the Company on SEDAR+ and are available under the Company's profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

Voting of the Arrangement

At the Meeting the securityholders of CRAFT will be asked to pass a special resolution (the "Arrangement Resolution") to approve the proposed plan of arrangement (the "Plan of Arrangement") involving the Company and Nano which gives effect to the Arrangement. The Arrangement will be carried out pursuant to the terms of an arrangement agreement dated as of September 27, 2023 between the Company and Nano (the "Arrangement Agreement") and the terms of the Plan of Arrangement.

The Arrangement Resolution must be approved by: (i) at least 66⅔% of the votes cast by the shareholders of CRAFT present in person or by proxy at the Meeting; and (ii) at least 66⅔% of the votes cast by the securityholders of CRAFT present in person or by proxy at the Meeting, voting together as a single class.

The Arrangement does not require minority approval under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") because the Arrangement does not constitute a "business combination" within the meaning of MI 61-101.

Closing of the Arrangement

Subject to obtaining approval of the Arrangement Resolution at the Meeting, and the satisfaction of the other customary conditions to completion of the Arrangement contained in the Arrangement Agreement, including receiving the Final Order and certain regulatory approvals, all as more particular described in the Meeting Materials, the Arrangement is expected to close on or before December 31, 2023.
