Exclusive global agreement ("Meros License Agreement")
In 2017, the Corporation was granted by Meros
Polymers Inc. ("Meros") the sole, exclusive, irrevocable license to patented nanotechnologies for use with any drugs to diagnose,
or treat, cardiovascular disease, cardiopulmonary disease, and cardiac arrhythmias. Meros is focused on the advancement of nanotechnologies
developed at the University of Alberta.
Under the Meros License Agreement, Cardiol agreed
to certain milestones and milestone payments, including the following: (i) payment of $100,000 upon enrolling the first patient in
a Phase IIB clinical trial designed to investigate the safety and indications of efficacy of one of the licensed technologies; (ii) payment
of $500,000 upon enrolling the first patient in a Pivotal Phase III clinical trial designed to investigate the safety and efficacy of
one of the licensed technologies; (iii) $1,000,000 upon receiving regulatory approval from the FDA for any therapeutic and/or prophylactic
treatment incorporating the licensed technologies. Cardiol also agreed to pay Meros the following royalties:
of worldwide proceeds of net sales of the licensed technologies containing cannabinoids, excluding non-royalty sub-license income in (b) below,
that Cardiol receives from human and animal disease indications and derivatives as outlined in the Meros License Agreement;
of any non-royalty sub-license income that Cardiol receives from human and animal disease indications and derivatives for licensed technologies
containing cannabinoids as outlined in the Meros License Agreement;
of worldwide proceeds of net sales that Cardiol receives from the licensed technology in relation to human and animal cardiovascular and/or
cardiopulmonary disease, heart failure, and/or cardiac arrhythmia diagnosis and/or treatments using the drugs, excluding cannabinoids
included in (a) above, outlined in the Meros License Agreement; and
of any non-royalty sub-license income that Cardiol receives in relation to any human and animal heart disease, heart failure and/or arrhythmias
indications, excluding cannabinoids included in (b) above, as outlined in the Meros License Agreement.
In addition, as part of the consideration under
the Meros License Agreement, Cardiol (i) issued to Meros 1,020,000 common shares; and (ii) issued to Meros 1,020,000 special
warrants convertible automatically into common shares for no additional consideration upon the first patient being enrolled in a Phase
1 clinical trial using the licensed technologies as described in the Meros License Agreement.

(i) When measuring the lease liability for
the property lease that was classified as an operating lease, the Corporation discounted the lease payments using its incremental borrowing
rate. The original property lease expires on May 31, 2024, and the lease payments were discounted with a 9% interest rate. During
the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the property lease was extended to October 30, 2028. The lease liability was revalued
as of the extension date with lease payments discounted with a 15% interest rate.
On November 5, 2021, the Corporation issued
8,175,000 warrants as part of a unit financing. Each warrant is exercisable into one common share at the price of USD$3.75 per share
for a period of three years from closing. The original estimated fair value of $11,577,426 was assigned to the 8,175,000 warrants issued
by using a fair value market technique incorporating the Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the following assumptions: a risk-free
interest rate of 1.01%; an expected volatility factor of 81%; an expected dividend yield of 0%; and an expected life of 3 years. The
only significant unobservable input is the volatility, which could cause an increase or decrease in fair value. The warrants have been
classified as a derivative liability on the statement of financial position and are re-valued at each reporting date, as the warrants
were issued in a currency other than the Corporation's functional currency. As at September 30, 2023, the fair value of the derivative
liability was $809,832 (December 31, 2022 - $419,901), resulting in an increase/(decrease) in the value of the derivative liability
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 of $392,881 and $(389,931) (three and nine months ended September 30,
2022 - increase/(decrease) in fair value of $1,723,442 and $4,717,559).
Significant assumptions used in determining the fair value of the
derivative warrant liabilities are as follows:
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023 Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022
Share price USD$ 0.90 USD$ 1.03
