Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Business Combination Agreement
On July 29, 2026, Mangoceuticals, Inc., a Texas corporation (the “Company” or “Mango”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “BCA”) with Nuclea Energy Inc., a British Columbia corporation (“Nuclea”), the principal shareholders of Nuclea, and the principal shareholders of Mango (collectively, the “Transaction”).
Pursuant to the BCA, a newly formed subsidiary of the Company (“Amalco Sub”) will amalgamate with Nuclea under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). Holders of Nuclea common shares will receive exchangeable shares of ExchangeCo (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mango), exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for shares of Mango common stock (the “Exchangeable Shares”). The transaction utilizes a Canadian exchangeable share structure.
The exchange ratio is the product of (a) the Fully Diluted Mango Shares divided by the Fully Diluted Nuclea Shares, multiplied by (b) 24. This results (prior to the PIPE Share Issuance, as defined in the BCA) in the former Nuclea shareholders holding approximately 96% of Mango’s equity on a fully diluted, as-exchanged basis, with existing Mango stockholders holding approximately 4%.
Until both (i) Mango Stockholder Approval and (ii) Nasdaq approval of the initial listing application (collectively, the “Required Approvals”) have been obtained, the aggregate economic rights, voting rights, and exchange rights attributable to the Exchangeable Shares, together with any Mango Common Stock issued pursuant to the Transaction, are limited to 19.99% of outstanding Mango Common Stock immediately prior to Closing (the “Nasdaq Cap”). Following receipt of the Required Approvals, all previously restricted rights will be unlocked.
The Transaction is structured in two stages consisting of (i) a closing (the “Closing”), which is expected to occur prior to receipt of the Required Approvals and will include completion of the amalgamation, implementation of the exchangeable share structure and concurrent PIPE financing, and (ii) a completion (the “Completion”), which will occur following receipt of the Required Approvals and will permit the full implementation of the rights associated with the Exchangeable Shares, including the issuance of Mango Common Stock in excess of the Nasdaq Cap and the removal of the Nasdaq Cap restrictions applicable to the Exchangeable Shares.
The closing of the Transaction is expected to occur prior to receipt of the Required Approvals. Following closing, the Company will file a registration statement on Form S-4 containing a proxy statement to solicit stockholder approval of the Transaction. The Completion (as defined in the BCA) of the Transaction is expected to occur promptly after receipt of the Required Approvals.
The Completion of the Transaction is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including, among others: (i) Nuclea Shareholder Approval; (ii) Nasdaq non-objection; (iii) completion of a private investment in public equity (“PIPE”) financing of a minimum of $15,000,000 to be funded into escrow and released at closing; (iv) no Material Adverse Effect; (v) regulatory approvals under the Investment Canada Act, Competition Act (Canada), and the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act, as applicable; (vi) the Company’s compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements, including receipt of a second 180-day grace period for minimum bid price compliance by August 3, 2026; and (vii) execution of the Cohen Executive Agreements (as defined below).
At closing, one Mango Special Voting Share will be issued to a trustee, carrying aggregate voting rights corresponding to the outstanding Exchangeable Shares, subject to the Nasdaq Cap. At closing, one Mango Special Voting Share will be issued to a trustee, carrying aggregate voting rights corresponding to the outstanding Exchangeable Shares, subject to the Nasdaq Cap. At or immediately following closing, Sagar Sanghera will be appointed to the Board of Directors and Executive Chairman of the Company, Josef Freundorfer will be appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Jacob D. Cohen will resign as Chief Executive Officer and be appointed President pursuant to the Cohen Executive Agreements. The Board will be further reconstituted following receipt of the Required Approvals as provided in the BCA.
The principal shareholders of Nuclea and certain Mango stockholders, directors, and officers will be subject to lock-up agreements. As a condition to closing, the Company is required to obtain voting support agreements covering not less than 9,119,823 shares of Mango Common Stock, representing not less than approximately 50.1% of the Company’s currently issued and outstanding Common Stock, from Jacob Cohen and his affiliates, directors, officers and other significant stockholders. The BCA contains customary termination provisions. The Transaction is intended to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
The foregoing description of the BCA does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the BCA, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
The BCA contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties thereto made to each other as of the date of the BCA or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating such agreement. In particular, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties in the BCA were made as of a specified date, are modified or qualified by information in one or more confidential disclosure letters prepared in connection with the execution and delivery of the BCA, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from what might be viewed as material to investors, or may have been used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties. Accordingly, the representations and warranties in the BCA are not necessarily characterizations of the actual state of facts about the Company or Nuclea at the time they were made or otherwise and should only be read in conjunction with the other information that the Company makes publicly available in reports, statements and other documents filed with the SEC.
Cohen Executive Agreements
As a condition to closing of the Transaction, the Company and Jacob D. Cohen, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, entered into a release and separation agreement (the “Release and Separation Agreement”) effective as of the execution of the BCA, and, at closing, will enter into a consulting agreement (the “Consulting Agreement” and, together with the Release and Separation Agreement, the “Cohen Executive Agreements”).
Release and Separation Agreement
Pursuant to the Release and Separation Agreement, Mr. Cohen’s employment as Chief Executive Officer will terminate effective upon the closing of the Transaction (the “Separation Date”).

In consideration of the foregoing, Mr. Cohen has agreed to a general release of claims against the Company. Non-disparagement and restrictive covenant obligations survive the separation.

Cohen’s employment as Chief Executive Officer of the Company will terminate upon closing of the Transaction.

Except as otherwise required by law, by the Articles of Incorporation, or by these Bylaws, with respect to any matter, a quorum will be present at a meeting of shareholders if the holders of at least one-third (1/3) of the voting power of all of the issued and outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote on that matter are represented at the meeting in person or by proxy. If a quorum is not present or represented at a meeting of shareholders, a majority of the voting power present and entitled to vote thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum is present, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, unless the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days or a new record date is set, in which event a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed.”

As of July 1, 2026, the Nuclea F-1 complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the U.S. Securities Act, as appropriate, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to it, and the Nuclea F-1, at the time it was filed with the SEC, did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
As of their respective dates, the financial statements of Nuclea included in Nuclea F-1 (the “Nuclea Financial Statements”) complied in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect as of the time of filing.

The reserves, if any, established by Nuclea or the lack of reserves, if applicable, are reasonable based upon facts and circumstances known by Nuclea on the date hereof and there are no loss contingencies that are required to be accrued by the Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 5 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board which are not provided for by Nuclea in the Nuclea Financial Statements or otherwise.

| 6 |
| (ii) | in the case of a stock dividend or other distribution declared on the Mango Common Stock to be paid in Mango Common Stock, by the issuance or transfer by ExchangeCo of such number of Exchangeable Shares for each Exchangeable Share as is equal to the number of shares of Mango Common Stock to be paid on each share of Mango Common Stock; provided that ExchangeCo may, in lieu of such stock dividend or other distribution, elect to effect a corresponding, contemporaneous and economically equivalent subdivision, redivision or change of the outstanding Exchangeable Shares, as determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with Sections 3(e) and 3(f); or | |
| (iii) | in the case of a dividend or other distribution declared on the Mango Common Stock in property other than cash or Mango Common Stock, in such type and amount of property for each Exchangeable Share as is the same as or economically equivalent to the type and amount of property declared as a dividend or other distribution on each share of Mango Common Stock, as determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with Section 3(e). |
Such dividends or other distributions shall be paid out of money, assets or property of ExchangeCo properly applicable to the payment of dividends or other distributions, out of authorized but unissued shares of ExchangeCo or through a subdivision, redivision or change of the outstanding Exchangeable Shares, as applicable. The holders of Exchangeable Shares shall not be entitled to any dividends or other distributions other than or in excess of the dividends or other distributions provided for in this Section 3(a).
| (b) | Payment of Dividends and Distributions |
Any cash dividend or other cash distribution contemplated by Section 3(a)(i) shall be paid by cheque, electronic funds transfer or such other method as ExchangeCo may determine. Payment in accordance with the foregoing shall satisfy the applicable cash dividend or other cash distribution unless such payment is not honoured or otherwise completed.
Certificates, direct registration statements or other written evidence of the applicable book-entry issuance or transfer shall be delivered in respect of any stock dividend or other distribution contemplated by Section 3(a)(ii) or any subdivision, redivision or change of the Exchangeable Shares contemplated by Sections 3(a)(ii) and 3(f). The delivery of such certificates, statements or other written evidence shall satisfy the applicable stock dividend or other distribution.
Any other property in respect of a dividend or other distribution contemplated by Section 3(a)(iii) shall be issued, distributed or transferred by ExchangeCo in such manner as ExchangeCo may determine, and such issuance, distribution or transfer to each holder of Exchangeable Shares shall satisfy the applicable dividend or other distribution.
Subject to applicable Law relating to unclaimed property, no holder of an Exchangeable Share shall be entitled to recover by action or other legal process against ExchangeCo any dividend or other distribution that remains unclaimed for a period of [six] years from the date on which such dividend or other distribution became payable.
| (c) | Record and Payment Dates |
The record date for determining the holders of Exchangeable Shares entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution declared under Section 3(a), and the payment date for such dividend or other distribution, shall be the same as the record date and payment date, respectively, for the corresponding dividend or other distribution declared on the Mango Common Stock.
The record date for determining the holders of Exchangeable Shares entitled to receive Exchangeable Shares in connection with any subdivision, redivision or change of the Exchangeable Shares under Sections 3(a)(ii) and 3(f), and the effective date of such subdivision, redivision or change, shall be the same as the record date and payment date, respectively, for the corresponding stock dividend or other distribution declared on the Mango Common Stock.
| 7 |
| (d) | Partial Payment |
If, on any payment date, a dividend or other distribution declared on the Exchangeable Shares under Section 3(a) is not paid in full on all outstanding Exchangeable Shares, the unpaid portion shall remain payable and shall be paid on such subsequent date or dates as the Board of Directors determines, subject to ExchangeCo having sufficient money, assets or property properly applicable to such payment.
| (e) | Economic Equivalence |
The Board of Directors shall determine in good faith, with the assistance of such financial, tax or other advisors as it considers appropriate, economic equivalence for the purposes of these Exchangeable Share Provisions. Each such determination shall be conclusive and binding on ExchangeCo and its shareholders absent manifest error. In making any such determination, the Board of Directors shall consider, without excluding any other factors it considers relevant:
| (i) | in the case of a stock dividend or other distribution payable in Mango Common Stock, the number of shares of Mango Common Stock issued or distributed in proportion to the number of shares of Mango Common Stock previously outstanding; | |
| (ii) | in the case of the issuance or distribution of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase Mango Common Stock, or securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Mango Common Stock, the relationship between the exercise or conversion price of each such security, the number of such securities issued or distributed in respect of each share of Mango Common Stock, the Current Market Price and price volatility of the Mango Common Stock and the other terms of such security; | |
| (iii) | in the case of the issuance or distribution of any other property, including shares or securities of Mango of any class other than Mango Common Stock, rights, options or warrants other than those referred to in Section 3(e)(ii), evidences of indebtedness of Mango or assets of Mango, the relationship between the fair market value of such property issued or distributed in respect of each outstanding share of Mango Common Stock and the Current Market Price of a share of Mango Common Stock; | |
| (iv) | in the case of any subdivision, redivision or change of the outstanding Mango Common Stock into a greater number of shares, any reduction, combination, consolidation or change of the outstanding Mango Common Stock into a lesser number of shares, or any amalgamation, merger, arrangement, reorganization or other transaction affecting the Mango Common Stock, the effect of such event or transaction on the outstanding Mango Common Stock; and | |
| (v) | in each case, the general Canadian and United States federal income tax consequences of the relevant event to holders of Exchangeable Shares and holders of Mango Common Stock, respectively, to the extent such consequences may differ as a result of differences between the applicable tax Laws of Canada and the United States, disregarding differences arising from marginal tax rates or the individual circumstances of any holder. |
| 8 |
| (f) | Subdivision on Stock Dividend |
If a stock dividend is declared on the Mango Common Stock and is payable in Mango Common Stock, the Board of Directors may, in lieu of declaring the corresponding stock dividend contemplated by Section 3(a)(ii) on the Exchangeable Shares and subject to applicable Law and receipt of any required regulatory approvals, subdivide, redivide or change each issued and unissued Exchangeable Share on the basis that each Exchangeable Share outstanding immediately before such subdivision, redivision or change becomes a number of Exchangeable Shares equal to the sum of:
| (i) | one; and | |
| (ii) | the number of shares of Mango Common Stock payable as a stock dividend on each share of Mango Common Stock. |
Such subdivision, redivision or change shall become effective on the payment date for the corresponding stock dividend declared on the Mango Common Stock without any further act or formality on the part of ExchangeCo or any holder of Exchangeable Shares.

| 6. | Liquidation |
| (a) | Liquidation Amount |
Subject to applicable Law, the Automatic Exchange Right and the Liquidation Call Right, upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of ExchangeCo, whether voluntary or involuntary, or any other distribution of the assets of ExchangeCo among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, a holder of Exchangeable Shares shall be entitled to receive from the assets of ExchangeCo, in respect of each Exchangeable Share held by such holder on the effective date of such liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or other distribution (the “Liquidation Date”), before any distribution of any part of the assets of ExchangeCo among the holders of the Common Shares or any other shares ranking junior to the Exchangeable Shares, an amount per Exchangeable Share equal to the Exchangeable Share Price applicable on the last Business Day immediately preceding the Liquidation Date (the “Liquidation Amount”), which shall be satisfied in full by ExchangeCo delivering or causing to be delivered to such holder the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the Liquidation Amount, subject to Section 5.
| (b) | Payment of Liquidation Amount |
Provided that the Automatic Exchange Right has not been exercised and the Liquidation Call Right has not been exercised by CallCo, ExchangeCo shall, on or promptly after the Liquidation Date, deliver or cause to be delivered to each holder of Exchangeable Shares the Liquidation Amount in respect of each Exchangeable Share held by such holder.
Each holder shall surrender to ExchangeCo or the Transfer Agent any certificate, direct registration statement or other evidence of ownership representing the applicable Exchangeable Shares, together with such documents and instruments as may reasonably be required to effect a transfer of the Exchangeable Shares under the Act and the articles of ExchangeCo. No physical surrender shall be required in respect of uncertificated Exchangeable Shares if the transfer or cancellation of such shares may otherwise be effected through the records of ExchangeCo or the Transfer Agent.
Payment of the Liquidation Amount shall be made by delivery of the applicable Exchangeable Share Consideration to the holder at the address recorded in the securities register of ExchangeCo or by such other payment or delivery method agreed to by ExchangeCo and the holder.
On and after the Liquidation Date, subject to Section 5(e), each holder shall cease to be a holder of the applicable Exchangeable Shares and shall not be entitled to exercise any rights in respect thereof, including any rights under the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement, other than the right to receive, without interest, the Liquidation Amount, subject to Section 5(e) and unless the Liquidation Amount has not been paid or deposited in accordance with this Section 6, in which case the rights of the holder shall remain unaffected until such payment or deposit has been made.
ExchangeCo may deposit the Liquidation Amount in respect of any Exchangeable Shares for which the required evidence of ownership and other documentation have not been surrendered with a chartered bank or trust company in Canada, to be held as trustee for the applicable holders. Upon such deposit, the rights of each such holder shall be limited to receiving, without interest, its proportionate part of the deposited Liquidation Amount, together with any dividends or other distributions on the Mango Common Stock forming part of the deposited Liquidation Amount having a record date after the date of deposit and before delivery to such holder, in each case less any amount required to be deducted or withheld under applicable Law.

After ExchangeCo has satisfied its obligations to pay or deposit the Liquidation Amount in respect of an Exchangeable Share, the holder thereof shall not be entitled to receive any other property or participate in any further distribution of the assets of ExchangeCo in respect of such Exchangeable Share.
| 11 |
| (d) | Liquidation Call Right |
CallCo shall have the overriding right (the “Liquidation Call Right”), notwithstanding any proposed payment of the Liquidation Amount by ExchangeCo, to purchase from each holder on the Liquidation Date all, but not less than all, of the Exchangeable Shares held by such holder for an amount per Exchangeable Share equal to the Exchangeable Share Price applicable on the last Business Day immediately preceding the Liquidation Date (the “Liquidation Call Purchase Price”), which shall be satisfied in full by CallCo delivering or causing to be delivered to such holder the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the Liquidation Call Purchase Price, subject to Section 5.
CallCo shall notify ExchangeCo and the Trustee of its intention to exercise the Liquidation Call Right at least 20 days before the Liquidation Date in the case of a voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up and at least five Business Days before the Liquidation Date in the case of an involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, or, if such notice periods are not reasonably practicable, as promptly as reasonably practicable before the Liquidation Date. ExchangeCo shall promptly notify the holders whether CallCo has exercised the Liquidation Call Right.
If CallCo exercises the Liquidation Call Right, each holder shall be obligated to sell all of its Exchangeable Shares to CallCo on the Liquidation Date upon payment of the Liquidation Call Purchase Price, and ExchangeCo shall have no obligation to pay the Liquidation Amount in respect of the Exchangeable Shares so purchased.
| 7. | Retraction of Exchangeable Shares |
| (a) | Retraction at Option of Holder |
| (i) | Retraction Right |
Subject to applicable Law, Section 5 and the Retraction Call Right, a holder of Exchangeable Shares shall be entitled at any time to require ExchangeCo to redeem any or all of the Exchangeable Shares registered in the name of such holder for an amount per Exchangeable Share equal to the Exchangeable Share Price applicable on the last Business Day immediately preceding the Retraction Date (the “Retraction Price”), which shall be satisfied in full by ExchangeCo delivering or causing to be delivered to such holder the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the Retraction Price.
To exercise such right, the holder shall deliver to ExchangeCo or the Transfer Agent:
| (A) | any certificate, direct registration statement or other evidence of ownership representing the Exchangeable Shares that the holder desires ExchangeCo to redeem, together with such other documents and instruments as ExchangeCo or the Transfer Agent may reasonably require to effect a transfer of such Exchangeable Shares under the Act and the articles of ExchangeCo; and | |
| (B) | a duly executed request in the form attached as Appendix I or in such other form as ExchangeCo may accept (the “Retraction Request”): |
| (1) | specifying the number of Exchangeable Shares that the holder desires ExchangeCo to redeem (the “Retracted Shares”); | |
| (2) | stating the Business Day on which the holder desires ExchangeCo to redeem the Retracted Shares (the “Retraction Date”), which shall not be less than 10 Business Days or more than 15 Business Days after ExchangeCo receives the Retraction Request, or such earlier Business Day as ExchangeCo and CallCo may agree in writing, including in connection with any Retraction Request delivered pursuant to arrangements made in connection with Closing; provided that, if no Business Day is specified, the Retraction Date shall be deemed to be the 15th Business Day after ExchangeCo receives the Retraction Request; and |
| 12 |
| (3) | acknowledging the overriding right of CallCo (the “Retraction Call Right”) to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Retracted Shares directly from the holder and that the Retraction Request constitutes a revocable offer by the holder to sell the Retracted Shares to CallCo on the Retraction Date for the Retraction Call Right Purchase Price and on the other terms set out in Section 7(b). |
No physical surrender shall be required in respect of uncertificated Exchangeable Shares if the transfer or cancellation of such shares may otherwise be effected through the records of ExchangeCo or the Transfer Agent.
| (ii) | Redemption by ExchangeCo |
If ExchangeCo or the Transfer Agent has received the documents required by Section 7(a)(i), the Retraction Request has not been withdrawn in accordance with Section 7(a)(iv) and CallCo has not exercised the Retraction Call Right, ExchangeCo shall redeem the Retracted Shares effective at the close of business on the Retraction Date.
On the Retraction Date, ExchangeCo shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the holder the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the Retraction Price. Such delivery shall satisfy and discharge ExchangeCo’s obligation to pay the Retraction Price, except to the extent that any payment forming part of the Exchangeable Share Consideration is not honoured or completed.
If only part of the Exchangeable Shares represented by any certificate or other evidence of ownership is redeemed, ExchangeCo shall issue or cause to be issued to the holder a certificate, direct registration statement or other written evidence representing the balance of such Exchangeable Shares.
Upon payment in full of the Retraction Price, and subject to Section 5(e), the holder shall cease to be a holder of the Retracted Shares and shall not be entitled to exercise any rights in respect thereof, including rights under the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement, other than the right to receive any portion of the Retraction Price that has not been paid.
| (iii) | Solvency Restrictions |
ExchangeCo shall not be obligated to redeem any Retracted Shares to the extent that such redemption would be contrary to the solvency requirements or other provisions of applicable Law.
If ExchangeCo determines, after due inquiry, that it is not permitted to redeem all of the Retracted Shares tendered for redemption on a Retraction Date, and CallCo has not exercised the Retraction Call Right, ExchangeCo shall:
| (A) | redeem the maximum number of Retracted Shares that may lawfully be redeemed, allocated among the affected holders on a pro rata basis according to the number of Exchangeable Shares tendered by each holder; | |
| (B) | notify each affected holder and the Trustee at least two Business Days before the Retraction Date of the number of Retracted Shares that ExchangeCo will not redeem; and | |
| (C) | issue or cause to be issued to each affected holder a certificate, direct registration statement or other written evidence representing the Retracted Shares not redeemed. |
Each holder of Retracted Shares that ExchangeCo is unable to redeem shall be deemed, by delivery of the Retraction Request, to have instructed the Trustee to exercise the Exchange Right under the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement in respect of such unredeemed Retracted Shares on the Retraction Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, subject to Section 5.
| 13 |
| (iv) | Withdrawal |
A holder may withdraw its Retraction Request by written notice received by ExchangeCo before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Retraction Date. Upon such withdrawal, the Retraction Request and the offer to sell the Retracted Shares to CallCo shall be null and void.
| (v) | Nasdaq Cap |
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7, the issuance and delivery of Mango Common Stock in connection with any retraction shall be subject to Section 5. To the extent any shares of Mango Common Stock otherwise deliverable on the Retraction Date cannot be issued or delivered because of the Nasdaq Cap, the retraction shall be completed only to the extent permitted under Section 5, and the Exchangeable Shares corresponding to the deferred portion shall remain outstanding and shall not be redeemed, transferred or cancelled, until the applicable shares of Mango Common Stock may be delivered in compliance with Section 5.
| (b) | Retraction Call Right |
| (i) | Exercise and Purchase Price |
Upon delivery of a Retraction Request, CallCo shall have the overriding right, notwithstanding the proposed redemption by ExchangeCo, to purchase from the holder on the Retraction Date all, but not less than all, of the Retracted Shares for an amount per Exchangeable Share equal to the Exchangeable Share Price applicable on the last Business Day immediately preceding the Retraction Date (the “Retraction Call Right Purchase Price”), which shall be satisfied in full by CallCo delivering or causing to be delivered to the holder the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the Retraction Call Right Purchase Price, subject to Section 5.
Upon exercise of the Retraction Call Right, the holder shall be obligated to sell, and CallCo shall be obligated to purchase, all of the Retracted Shares on the Retraction Date upon payment of the Retraction Call Right Purchase Price.
| (ii) | Retraction Call Notice |
Upon receipt of a Retraction Request, ExchangeCo shall promptly notify CallCo and provide CallCo with a copy of the Retraction Request.
To exercise the Retraction Call Right, CallCo shall notify ExchangeCo in writing of its determination to do so (a “Retraction Call Notice”) within five Business Days after receiving notice of the Retraction Request from ExchangeCo; provided that, in respect of any Retraction Request specifying a Retraction Date fewer than five Business Days after its receipt by ExchangeCo, CallCo may exercise or waive the Retraction Call Right at any time before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Retraction Date or at such earlier time as ExchangeCo and CallCo may agree. If CallCo does not deliver a Retraction Call Notice within such applicable period, ExchangeCo shall promptly notify the holder that CallCo will not exercise the Retraction Call Right.
If CallCo timely delivers a Retraction Call Notice, ExchangeCo’s obligation to redeem the Retracted Shares shall terminate and, provided the Retraction Request has not been withdrawn, CallCo shall purchase and the holder shall sell the Retracted Shares on the Retraction Date.
| (iii) | Payment |
CallCo shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the holder the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the Retraction Call Right Purchase Price. Such delivery shall satisfy and discharge CallCo’s obligation to pay the Retraction Call Right Purchase Price, except to the extent that any payment forming part of the Exchangeable Share Consideration is not honoured or completed.
| 14 |
| (iv) | Cessation of Rights |
Upon payment in full of the Retraction Call Right Purchase Price, and subject to Section 5(e), the holder shall cease to be a holder of the Retracted Shares and shall not be entitled to exercise any rights in respect thereof, including rights under the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement, other than the right to receive any portion of the Retraction Call Right Purchase Price that has not been paid.
| 8. | Redemption of Exchangeable Shares by ExchangeCo |
| (a) | Redemption Amount |
Subject to applicable Law, Section 5 and the Redemption Call Right, ExchangeCo shall, on the Redemption Date, redeem all, but not less than all, of the outstanding Exchangeable Shares, other than Exchangeable Shares held by Mango, CallCo or their respective Affiliates, for an amount per Exchangeable Share equal to the Exchangeable Share Price applicable on the last Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date (the “Redemption Price”), which shall be satisfied in full by ExchangeCo delivering or causing to be delivered to each holder the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the Redemption Price.
| (b) | Notice of Redemption |
ExchangeCo shall give each holder and the Trustee at least 30 days’ prior written notice of the Redemption Date, other than a Redemption Date arising in connection with a Mango Control Transaction, Exchangeable Share Voting Event or Exempt Exchangeable Share Voting Event, in which case ExchangeCo shall provide such prior written notice as the Board of Directors determines to be reasonably practicable in the circumstances.
The notice shall specify the Redemption Date, the manner of determining the Redemption Price or Redemption Call Purchase Price, as applicable, and particulars of the Redemption Call Right. A notice given in connection with a contingent Redemption Date may be given on a conditional basis and shall be withdrawn if the applicable contingency does not occur.
| (c) | Payment of Redemption Price |
If CallCo has not exercised the Redemption Call Right, ExchangeCo shall, on or promptly after the Redemption Date, deliver or cause to be delivered to each holder the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the Redemption Price.
Each holder shall surrender any certificate, direct registration statement or other evidence of ownership representing the Exchangeable Shares to be redeemed, together with such documents and instruments as may reasonably be required to effect a transfer or cancellation of such Exchangeable Shares under the Act and the articles of ExchangeCo. No physical surrender shall be required for uncertificated Exchangeable Shares if the cancellation may otherwise be effected through the records of ExchangeCo or the Transfer Agent.
On and after the Redemption Date, subject to Section 5(e), each holder shall cease to be a holder of the Exchangeable Shares called for redemption and shall not be entitled to exercise any rights in respect thereof, including rights under the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement, other than the right to receive, without interest, the Redemption Price, subject to Section 5(e) and unless the Redemption Price has not been paid or deposited in accordance with this Section 8.
ExchangeCo may deposit the aggregate Redemption Price with a chartered bank or trust company in Canada to be held as trustee for the applicable holders. Upon such deposit, the Exchangeable Shares in respect of which the deposit was made shall be redeemed and the rights of the holders shall be limited to receiving, without interest, their proportionate part of the deposited Redemption Price.
| 15 |
| (d) | Redemption Call Right |
CallCo shall have the overriding right (the “Redemption Call Right”), notwithstanding the proposed redemption by ExchangeCo, to purchase on the Redemption Date from each holder all, but not less than all, of the Exchangeable Shares held by such holder for an amount per Exchangeable Share equal to the Redemption Price (the “Redemption Call Purchase Price”), which shall be satisfied in full by CallCo delivering or causing to be delivered to each holder the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing the Redemption Call Purchase Price, subject to Section 5.
CallCo shall notify ExchangeCo and the Trustee of its intention to exercise the Redemption Call Right at least five Business Days before the Redemption Date or, if such notice period is not reasonably practicable in connection with a Mango Control Transaction, Exchangeable Share Voting Event or Exempt Exchangeable Share Voting Event, as promptly as reasonably practicable before the Redemption Date. ExchangeCo shall promptly notify the holders whether CallCo has exercised the Redemption Call Right.
If CallCo exercises the Redemption Call Right, each holder shall be obligated to sell all of its Exchangeable Shares to CallCo on the Redemption Date upon payment of the Redemption Call Purchase Price, and ExchangeCo shall have no obligation to redeem the Exchangeable Shares so purchased.
| 9. | Purchase for Cancellation |
Subject to applicable Law and the articles of ExchangeCo, ExchangeCo may at any time purchase for cancellation all or any part of the outstanding Exchangeable Shares:
| (a) | by private agreement with the holder thereof; or | |
| (b) | by tender made on the same terms to all holders of Exchangeable Shares, |
in each case at such price as ExchangeCo and the applicable holder or holders may agree, together with all declared and unpaid dividends on the Exchangeable Shares purchased for which the record date occurred before the date of purchase.
If more Exchangeable Shares are tendered under Section 9(b) than ExchangeCo is prepared to purchase, the Exchangeable Shares to be purchased shall be selected on a pro rata basis according to the number of Exchangeable Shares tendered by each holder, disregarding fractions.
If only part of the Exchangeable Shares represented by any certificate, direct registration statement or other evidence of ownership is purchased, ExchangeCo shall issue or cause to be issued to the holder a certificate, direct registration statement or other written evidence representing the balance of such Exchangeable Shares.
| 10. | Voting Rights |
Except as required by the Act or Section 12, holders of Exchangeable Shares shall not, as such, be entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at any meeting of the shareholders of ExchangeCo. The holders of Exchangeable Shares shall not be entitled to vote separately as a class except as required by the Act or expressly provided in these Exchangeable Share Provisions.
The voting rights intended to provide the holders of Exchangeable Shares with voting participation in Mango shall be provided exclusively through the Mango Special Voting Share and the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement, subject to the Nasdaq Cap until the Required Approvals have been obtained.
| 16 |
| 11. | Specified Amount |

| (b) | Approval |
Any approval of the holders of Exchangeable Shares shall be sufficiently given if evidenced by:
| (i) | a written resolution signed by holders of not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding Exchangeable Shares, other than Exchangeable Shares held by Mango, CallCo or their respective Affiliates; or | |
| (ii) | a resolution passed by not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the votes cast on such resolution at a meeting of holders of Exchangeable Shares duly called and held at which holders of at least 10% of the outstanding Exchangeable Shares, other than Exchangeable Shares held by Mango, CallCo or their respective Affiliates, are present in person or represented by proxy. |
If the quorum referred to in Section 12(b)(ii) is not present within one-half hour after the time appointed for the meeting, the meeting shall be adjourned to a date not less than five days thereafter. At the adjourned meeting, the holders present in person or represented by proxy may transact the business for which the meeting was called, and a resolution passed by not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the votes cast shall constitute the approval of the holders.
| 13. | Reciprocal Changes in Respect of Mango Common Stock |
| (a) | Issuances and Distributions |
Each holder acknowledges that the Support Agreement provides that Mango shall not, without ensuring that an economically equivalent distribution is made simultaneously to holders of Exchangeable Shares:
| (i) | issue or distribute Mango Common Stock, or securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Mango Common Stock, to all or substantially all holders of Mango Common Stock by way of stock dividend or other distribution; | |
| (ii) | issue or distribute rights, options or warrants to all or substantially all holders of Mango Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase Mango Common Stock or securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire Mango Common Stock; or |
1 Specified amount to be the last closing price of the Mango Common Stock immediately prior to closing.
| 17 |
| (iii) | issue or distribute to all or substantially all holders of Mango Common Stock: |
| (A) | shares or securities of Mango of any class other than Mango Common Stock; | |
| (B) | rights, options or warrants other than those referred to in Section 13(a)(ii); | |
| (C) | evidences of indebtedness of Mango; or | |
| (D) | property or assets of Mango; |
provided that this Section 13(a) shall not prohibit any issuance or distribution expressly contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or the Transaction Documents.
| (b) | Corporate Changes |
Each holder acknowledges that the Support Agreement further provides that, for so long as any Exchangeable Shares not held by Mango, CallCo or their respective Affiliates remain outstanding, Mango shall not:
| (i) | subdivide, redivide or change the outstanding Mango Common Stock into a greater number of shares; | |
| (ii) | reduce, combine, consolidate or change the outstanding Mango Common Stock into a lesser number of shares; or | |
| (iii) | reclassify or otherwise change the Mango Common Stock or effect any merger, amalgamation, reorganization or other transaction affecting the Mango Common Stock, |
unless the same or an economically equivalent change is made simultaneously to the Exchangeable Shares or the rights of the holders thereof; provided that this Section 13(b) shall not prohibit any action expressly contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or the Transaction Documents.
| (c) | Successorship Transaction |
Notwithstanding Sections 13(a) and 13(b), if a Mango Control Transaction occurs:
| (i) | in which Mango merges or combines with, or all or substantially all of the outstanding Mango Common Stock is acquired by another corporation; | |
| (ii) | which does not result in acceleration of the Redemption Date pursuant to paragraph (ii) of the definition of “Redemption Date”; and | |
| (iii) | in which the outstanding Mango Common Stock is converted into or exchanged for shares or rights to receive shares (the “Other Shares”) of another corporation (the “Other Corporation”) that, immediately after the Mango Control Transaction, owns or controls Mango, |
then all references in these Exchangeable Share Provisions to “Mango” shall thereafter be deemed to refer to the Other Corporation and all references to “Mango Common Stock” shall thereafter be deemed to refer to the Other Shares, with such adjustments as are necessary to ensure that a holder receives, upon any exchange, redemption, retraction, purchase or automatic exchange of an Exchangeable Share, the number and type of Other Shares or other consideration that the holder would have received if the Exchangeable Share had been exchanged for Mango Common Stock immediately before completion of the Mango Control Transaction.
No application of the Nasdaq Cap shall reduce or extinguish any economic adjustment required under this Section 13, but delivery of shares resulting from such adjustment shall be administered in accordance with Section 5.
| 14. | Actions by ExchangeCo Under Support Agreement |
| (a) | Performance and Enforcement |
ExchangeCo shall take all actions and do all things reasonably necessary to perform its obligations under the Support Agreement, to cause Mango and CallCo to perform their respective obligations thereunder and to enforce, for the direct benefit of ExchangeCo and the holders of Exchangeable Shares, all rights and benefits in favour of ExchangeCo under the Support Agreement.
| 18 |
Without limiting the foregoing, ExchangeCo shall enforce Mango’s obligations under the Support Agreement to:
| (i) | reserve and keep available a sufficient number of shares of Mango Common Stock to satisfy all obligations arising in connection with the Exchangeable Shares, subject to the Nasdaq Cap until the Required Approvals have been obtained; | |

| (iii) | promptly following receipt of the Required Approvals, take all actions required to be taken by Mango under the Support Agreement to permit the issuance and delivery of Mango Common Stock and the exercise of voting rights through the Mango Special Voting Share without regard to the Nasdaq Cap. |
| (b) | Changes to Support Agreement |
ExchangeCo shall not agree to any amendment, waiver or forgiveness of its rights or obligations under the Support Agreement without the approval of the holders of Exchangeable Shares given in accordance with Section 12(b), other than any amendment, waiver or forgiveness that:
| (i) | adds covenants for the protection of ExchangeCo or the holders of Exchangeable Shares; | |
| (ii) | evidences the assumption by a successor to Mango of Mango’s obligations under the Support Agreement; | |
| (iii) | addresses matters arising under the Support Agreement in a manner that the boards of directors of Mango, CallCo and ExchangeCo determine in good faith, after consultation with counsel, is not prejudicial to the rights or interests of the holders of Exchangeable Shares; or | |
| (iv) | cures an ambiguity, defect, inconsistent provision, clerical omission, mistake or manifest error and is determined in good faith by the boards of directors of Mango, CallCo and ExchangeCo not to be prejudicial to the rights or interests of the holders of Exchangeable Shares. |
| 15. | Legend; Call Rights; Withholding Rights |

| (c) | Withholding Rights |
Mango, CallCo, ExchangeCo and the Transfer Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any dividend, distribution, price or other consideration otherwise payable or deliverable to any holder such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld under applicable Law.
Any amount properly deducted or withheld and remitted to the applicable governmental authority shall be treated for all purposes as having been paid to the holder in respect of whom the deduction or withholding was made.

No physical surrender shall be required in respect of uncertificated Exchangeable Shares if the applicable transfer or cancellation can be effected through the records of ExchangeCo or the Transfer Agent.
| 20 |
| (c) | Notices to Holders |
Any notice, request or other communication given by or on behalf of ExchangeCo to a holder shall be in writing and may be delivered personally, by courier, by mail or by electronic transmission to the address or electronic address shown in the securities register of ExchangeCo.

| (a) | the applicable fractional interest; by | |
| (b) | the Current Market Price of one share of Mango Common Stock on the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable payment date; |

ExchangeCo will use such funds, assets and property so segregated exclusively for the payment of dividends and the payment or other satisfaction of the Liquidation Amount, the Retraction Price or the Redemption Price, as applicable net of any corresponding withholding tax obligations and for the remittance of such withholding tax obligations.
2.3 Reservation of US Parent Common Shares.
US Parent hereby represents, warrants and covenants in favour of ExchangeCo and CallCo that US Parent has reserved for issuance and shall, at all times while any Exchangeable Shares are outstanding, keep available, free from pre-emptive and other rights, out of its authorized and unissued capital stock such number of US Parent Common Shares (or other shares or securities into which US Parent Common Shares may be reclassified or changed as contemplated by Section 2.6):
| (a) | as are now and may hereafter be required to enable and permit each of US Parent, CallCo and ExchangeCo to meet its obligations in respect of the Exchangeable Shares and the Exchangeable Shareholders; and |
| (b) | as are now and may hereafter be required to enable and permit each of US Parent, ExchangeCo and CallCo to meet its obligations under the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement, the Exchangeable Share Provisions and any other security or commitment pursuant to which US Parent may now or hereafter be required to issue or cause to be issued US Parent Common Shares. |
Without limiting the foregoing, US Parent shall maintain a sufficient number of authorized but unissued US Parent Common Shares to satisfy all obligations arising under the Exchangeable Share Provisions, including any obligations relating to anti-dilution adjustments, dividend-equivalent rights, exchange rights, redemption rights, retraction rights and any deferred issuance obligations arising as a result of the Nasdaq Cap provisions contained in the Exchangeable Share Provisions. For greater certainty, the obligations of US Parent under this Section 2.2 shall be subject to the Nasdaq Cap provisions contained in the Exchangeable Share Provisions until the Required Approvals have been obtained, provided that no such limitation shall extinguish or reduce any deferred entitlement of a holder of Exchangeable Shares.
2.4 Notification of Certain Events.
In order to assist US Parent to comply with its obligations under this Agreement and to permit US Parent or CallCo to exercise, as the case may be, the Liquidation Call Right, the Retraction Call Right or the Redemption Call Right, as applicable, ExchangeCo shall notify US Parent and CallCo of each of the following events at the time set forth below:
| (a) | in the event of any determination by the board of directors of ExchangeCo to institute voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up proceedings with respect to ExchangeCo or to effect any other distribution of the assets of ExchangeCo among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, at least 60 days prior to the proposed effective date of such liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or other distribution; |
| (b) | promptly upon the earlier of: (i) receipt by ExchangeCo of notice of, and (ii) ExchangeCo otherwise becoming aware of, any threatened or instituted claim, suit, petition or other proceedings with respect to the involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of ExchangeCo or to effect any other distribution of the assets of ExchangeCo among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs; |
| 5 |
| (c) | immediately, upon receipt by ExchangeCo of a Retraction Request; |
| (d) | on the same date on which notice of redemption is given to holders of Exchangeable Shares, upon the determination of a Redemption Date in accordance with the Exchangeable Share Provisions; |
| (e) | as soon as practicable upon the issuance by ExchangeCo of any Exchangeable Shares or rights to acquire Exchangeable Shares (other than the issuance of Exchangeable Shares and rights to acquire Exchangeable Shares pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement); and |
| (f) | promptly, upon receiving notice of a Change of Law. |
2.5 Delivery of US Parent Common Shares.
Upon notice from CallCo or ExchangeCo of any event that requires CallCo or ExchangeCo to deliver or cause to be delivered US Parent Common Shares to any holder of Exchangeable Shares, US Parent shall forthwith issue and deliver or cause to be delivered the requisite number of US Parent Common Shares for the benefit of CallCo or ExchangeCo, as appropriate, and CallCo or ExchangeCo, as the case may be, shall forthwith cause to be delivered the requisite number of US Parent Common Shares to be received by or for the benefit of the former holder of the surrendered Exchangeable Shares. All such US Parent Common Shares shall be duly authorized and validly issued as fully paid, non-assessable, free of pre-emptive rights and shall be free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance.
| 2.6 | Qualification of US Parent Common Shares. |
US Parent covenants and agrees that it shall: (a) file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), prior to Completion (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), to register any and all of the US Parent Common Shares to be issued or delivered to holders of the Exchangeable Shares by US Parent or CallCo (including, for greater certainty, pursuant to the Exchange Right or the Automatic Exchange Right); (b) cause the Registration Statement to become effective prior to Completion; and (c) cause the Registration Statement (or a successor registration statement) to remain effective at all times that any Exchangeable Shares remain outstanding, in each case unless the issuance of such securities is exempt from any requirement for registration under the 1933 Act and all applicable state securities laws. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, US Parent and CallCo each covenant and agree that it will to make such filings and seek such regulatory consents and approvals as are necessary so that the US Parent Common Shares to be issued or delivered to holders of Exchangeable Shares by US Parent or CallCo pursuant to the terms of the Exchangeable Share Provisions, the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement and this Agreement will be offered, sold, issued and delivered in compliance with the 1933 Act and all applicable state securities laws, and applicable securities laws in Canada and shall ensure that the US Parent Common Shares will not be “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the 1933 Act. US Parent will in good faith expeditiously take all such actions and do all such things as are reasonably necessary or desirable to cause all US Parent Common Shares to be delivered to holders of Exchangeable Shares pursuant to the terms of the Exchangeable Share Provisions, the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement and this Agreement to be listed, quoted and posted for trading on all stock exchanges and quotation systems on which outstanding US Parent Common Shares have been listed by US Parent and remain listed and are quoted or posted for trading at such time.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Exchangeable Share Provisions, or any term of this Agreement, the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement or the Business Combination Agreement, no US Parent Common Shares shall be issued (and US Parent will not be required to issue any US Parent Common Shares) in connection with any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of ExchangeCo, or any retraction, redemption or any other exchange, direct or indirect, of Exchangeable Shares, if such issuance of US Parent Common Shares would not be permitted by applicable laws.
| 6 |
2.7 Economic Equivalence.
| (1) | So long as any Exchangeable Shares not owned by US Parent or its affiliates are outstanding: |
| (a) | US Parent shall not, without the prior approval of ExchangeCo and the prior approval of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares given in accordance with the Exchangeable Share Provisions: |
| (i) | issue or distribute US Parent Common Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire US Parent Common Shares) to the holders of all or substantially all of the then outstanding US Parent Common Shares by way of stock or share dividend or other distribution, other than an issue of US Parent Common Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire US Parent Common Shares) to holders of US Parent Common Shares: |
| (A) | who exercise an option to receive dividends in US Parent Common Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire US Parent Common Shares) in lieu of receiving cash dividends; or |
| (B) | pursuant to any dividend reinvestment plan or scrip dividend or similar arrangement; |
| (ii) | issue or distribute rights, options or warrants to the holders of all or substantially all of the then outstanding US Parent Common Shares entitling them to subscribe for or purchase US Parent Common Shares or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire US Parent Common Shares; or |
| (iii) | issue or distribute to the holders of all or substantially all of the then outstanding US Parent Common Shares: |
| (A) | shares or securities of US Parent of any class other than US Parent Common Shares (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for or carrying rights to acquire US Parent Common Shares); |
| (B) | rights, options, warrants or other assets other than those referred to in Section 2.7(1)(a)(ii); |
| (C) | evidences of indebtedness of US Parent; or |
| (D) | assets of US Parent, |
unless, in each case, ExchangeCo issues or distributes the economic equivalent of such rights, options, warrants, securities, shares, evidences of indebtedness or other assets simultaneously to holders of the Exchangeable Shares; provided, however, that, for greater certainty, the above restrictions shall not apply to any securities issued or distributed by US Parent in order to give effect to and consummate the transactions contemplated by, and in accordance with, the Business Combination Agreement.
| (b) | US Parent shall not, without the prior approval of ExchangeCo and the prior approval of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares given in accordance with the Exchangeable Share Provisions: |
| (i) | subdivide, redivide or change the then outstanding US Parent Common Shares into a greater number of US Parent Common Shares; |
| (ii) | reduce, combine, consolidate or change the then outstanding US Parent Common Shares into a lesser number of US Parent Common Shares; or |
| 7 |
| (iii) | reclassify or otherwise change the US Parent Common Shares or effect an amalgamation, merger, combination, reorganization or other transaction affecting the US Parent Common Shares, |
unless, in each case, the same or an economically equivalent change is made simultaneously to, or in the rights of the holders of, the Exchangeable Shares; provided, however, that, for greater certainty, the above restrictions shall not apply to any securities issued or distributed by US Parent in order to give effect to and consummate the transactions contemplated by, and in accordance with, the Business Combination Agreement.
| (2) | The board of directors of ExchangeCo shall determine, in good faith and in its sole discretion (with the assistance of such financial or other advisors as the board of may determine), “economic equivalence” for the purposes of any event referred to in Section 2.7(1)(a) or Section 2.7(1)(b) and each such determination shall be conclusive and binding on US Parent. In making each such determination, the following factors shall, without excluding other factors determined by the board of directors of ExchangeCo to be relevant, be considered by the board of directors of ExchangeCo: |
| (a) | in the case of any stock or share dividend or other distribution payable in US Parent Common Shares, the number of such shares issued as a result of such stock or share dividend or other distribution in proportion to the number of US Parent Common Shares previously outstanding; |
| (b) | in the case of the issuance or distribution of any rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase US Parent Common Shares (or securities exchangeable for or convertible into or carrying rights to acquire US Parent Common Shares), the relationship between the exercise price of each such right, option or warrant, the number of such rights, options or warrants to be issued or distributed in respect of each US Parent Common Share and the Current Market Price of such US Parent Common Share, the price volatility of the US Parent Common Shares and the terms of any such instrument; |
| (c) | in the case of the issuance or distribution of any other form of property (including, without limitation, any shares or securities of US Parent of any class other than US Parent Common Shares, any rights, options or warrants other than those referred to in Section 2.5(2)(b), any evidences of indebtedness of US Parent or any assets of US Parent), the relationship between the fair market value (as determined by the board of directors of ExchangeCo in the manner contemplated above) of such property to be issued or distributed with respect to each outstanding US Parent Common Share and the Current Market Price of such US Parent Common Share; |
| (d) | in the case of any subdivision, redivision or change of the then outstanding US Parent Common Shares into a greater number of US Parent Common Shares, or the reduction, combination, consolidation or change of the then outstanding US Parent Common Shares into a lesser number of US Parent Common Shares, or any amalgamation, merger, combination, arrangement, reorganization or other transaction affecting US Parent Common Shares, the effect thereof upon the then outstanding Exchangeable Shares; and |
| (e) | in all such cases, the general taxation consequences of the relevant event to holders of Exchangeable Shares to the extent that such consequences may differ from the taxation consequences to holders of US Parent Common Shares as a result of differences between taxation Laws of Canada and the United States (except for any differing consequences arising as a result of differing marginal taxation rates and without regard to the individual circumstances of holders of Exchangeable Shares). |
| 8 |
| (3) | ExchangeCo agrees that, to the extent required, upon due notice from US Parent, ExchangeCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken such steps as may be necessary for the purposes of ensuring that appropriate dividends are paid or other distributions are made by ExchangeCo, or the Exchangeable Share Exchange Ratio is adjusted, or subdivisions, redivisions or changes are made to the Exchangeable Shares, as applicable, in order to implement the required economic equivalence with respect to the US Parent Common Shares and Exchangeable Shares as provided for in this Section 2.7. |
| (4) | Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.7, ExchangeCo shall not undertake any action that will result in the number of authorized but unissued US Parent Common Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to Section 2.2 being less than the number of US Parent Common Shares that may be issuable upon the exchange, redemption, retraction, purchase or automatic exchange of the Exchangeable Shares in accordance with the Exchangeable Share Provisions. |
| (5) | For greater certainty, any inability of US Parent to issue US Parent Common Shares immediately as a result of the Nasdaq Cap or any restrictions arising under applicable stock exchange requirements shall not relieve US Parent of its obligation to preserve the economic equivalence of the Exchangeable Shares in accordance with this Agreement and the Exchangeable Share Provisions. During any period in which the issuance of US Parent Common Shares is restricted by the Nasdaq Cap, US Parent, CallCo and ExchangeCo shall take all actions reasonably necessary to preserve the economic rights of the holders of Exchangeable Shares in accordance with the Exchangeable Share Provisions. |
| (6) | US Parent shall not take any action, or fail to take any action, the principal purpose or effect of which would be to circumvent the economic equivalence contemplated by this Section 2.7 or the Nasdaq Cap provisions contained in the Exchangeable Share Provisions. |
2.8 Tender Offers.
In the event that a tender offer, share exchange offer, issuer bid, take-over bid or similar transaction with respect to US Parent Common Shares (an “Offer”) is proposed by US Parent or is proposed to US Parent or its stockholders and is recommended by the board of directors of US Parent, or is otherwise effected or to be effected with the consent or approval of the board of directors of US Parent, and the Exchangeable Shares are not redeemed by ExchangeCo or purchased by US Parent or CallCo pursuant to the Redemption Call Right, US Parent and ExchangeCo will use commercially reasonable efforts to take all such actions and do all such things as are necessary or desirable to enable and permit holders of Exchangeable Shares (other than US Parent and its affiliates) to participate in such Offer to the same extent and on an economically equivalent basis as the holders of US Parent Common Shares, without discrimination.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, US Parent and ExchangeCo will use commercially reasonable efforts in good faith to ensure that holders of Exchangeable Shares may participate in each such Offer without being required to retract Exchangeable Shares as against ExchangeCo (or, if so required, to ensure that any such retraction shall be effective only upon, and shall be conditional upon, the closing of such Offer and only to the extent necessary to tender or deposit to the Offer).
For greater certainty, if any Offer occurs during a period in which the issuance of US Parent Common Shares is restricted or deferred pursuant to the Nasdaq Cap provisions contained in the Exchangeable Share Provisions, US Parent, CallCo and ExchangeCo shall take all actions reasonably necessary to ensure that holders of Exchangeable Shares are afforded the opportunity to participate in, and receive the economic benefit of, such Offer on a basis that preserves the economic equivalence of the Exchangeable Shares in accordance with the Exchangeable Share Provisions.
Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the rights of ExchangeCo to redeem, or US Parent or CallCo to purchase pursuant to the Redemption Call Right, Exchangeable Shares in the event of a US Parent Control Transaction. For greater certainty, nothing in this Section 2.8 shall limit the ability of ExchangeCo to establish a Redemption Date or of CallCo to exercise the Redemption Call Right in connection with a US Parent Control Transaction in accordance with the Exchangeable Share Provisions.
| 9 |
2.9 US Parent & Affiliates Not to Vote Exchangeable Shares.
Each of US Parent and CallCo covenants and agrees that it shall appoint and cause to be appointed proxyholders with respect to all Exchangeable Shares held by it and its affiliates for the sole purpose of attending each meeting of holders of Exchangeable Shares in order to be counted as part of the quorum for each such meeting. Each of US Parent and CallCo further covenants and agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its affiliates not to, exercise any voting rights which may be exercisable by holders of Exchangeable Shares from time to time pursuant to the Exchangeable Share Provisions or pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (or any successor or other corporate statute by which ExchangeCo may in the future be governed) with respect to any Exchangeable Shares held by it or by its affiliates in respect of any matter considered at any meeting of holders of Exchangeable Shares; provided however, for further clarity, that this Section 2.9 shall not in any way restrict the right of US Parent or any of its affiliates to vote their common shares of ExchangeCo in accordance with the Articles of ExchangeCo.
2.10 Ordinary Market Purchases.
For greater certainty, nothing contained in this Agreement, including without limitation the obligations of US Parent contained in Section 2.8, shall limit the ability of US Parent (or any of its affiliates) to make ordinary market or other voluntary purchases of US Parent Common Shares in accordance with applicable Laws and regulatory or stock exchange requirements.
2.11 Ownership of Outstanding Shares.
Without the prior approval of ExchangeCo and the prior approval of the holders of the Exchangeable Shares given in accordance with the Exchangeable Share Provisions, US Parent covenants and agrees in favour of ExchangeCo that, as long as any Exchangeable Shares not owned by US Parent or its affiliates are outstanding, US Parent will be and remain the direct or indirect beneficial owner of all issued and outstanding voting securities and equity interests of ExchangeCo and CallCo.
US Parent shall not transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of any of its direct or indirect ownership interest in ExchangeCo or CallCo if such transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or disposition could reasonably be expected to impair the rights of the holders of Exchangeable Shares under the Exchangeable Share Provisions, this Agreement or the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, US Parent shall not be in violation of this Section 2.11 if any person or group of persons acting jointly or in concert acquires all or substantially all of the assets of US Parent or the US Parent Common Shares pursuant to any merger, consolidation, arrangement, amalgamation, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction involving US Parent pursuant to which US Parent is not the surviving corporation, provided that such transaction complies with Article 3 and the successor entity assumes the obligations of US Parent under this Agreement, the Exchangeable Share Provisions and the Voting and Exchange Trust Agreement.
2.12 Reimbursement by US Parent.
US Parent shall reimburse ExchangeCo for, and indemnify and hold ExchangeCo harmless against, any expense or liability incurred by ExchangeCo with respect to the Exchangeable Shares.

Article 3
PARENT SUCCESSORS
3.1 Certain Requirements in Respect of Combination, etc.
Subject to the Exchangeable Share Provisions, so long as any Exchangeable Shares not owned by US Parent or its affiliates are outstanding, US Parent shall not enter into any transaction (whether by way of reorganization, consolidation, arrangement, amalgamation, merger, combination, transfer, sale, lease or otherwise) whereby all or substantially all of its undertaking, property and assets would become the property of any other person or, in the case of an amalgamation or merger or combination, of the continuing corporation resulting therefrom, provided that it may do so if:
| (a) | such other person or continuing corporation (the “US Parent Successor”) by operation of Law becomes bound by this Agreement or, if not so bound, executes and delivers, prior to or contemporaneously with the consummation of such transaction, an agreement supplemental hereto and such other instruments as may be necessary or advisable to evidence: |

The Trustee shall mail or otherwise send to each Beneficiary, at the expense of Mango, copies of all such materials (and all materials specifically directed to the Beneficiaries or to the Trustee for the benefit of the Beneficiaries by Mango) received by the Trustee from Mango contemporaneously with the sending of such materials to holders of Mango Common Stock. The Trustee shall also make available for inspection during regular business hours by any Beneficiary at the Trustee’s principal office all proxy materials, information statements, reports and other written communications that are:
| (a) | received by the Trustee as the registered holder of the Mango Special Voting Share and made available by Mango generally to the holders of Mango Common Stock; or |
| (b) | specifically directed to the Beneficiaries or to the Trustee for the benefit of the Beneficiaries by Mango. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mango may, at its option, exercise the duties of the Trustee to deliver copies of all such materials to all Beneficiaries as required by this Section 4.4 so long as, in each case, Mango delivers a certificate to the Trustee stating that Mango has undertaken to perform the obligations of the Trustee set forth in this Section 4.4.
| 4.5 | Other Materials |
As soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by Mango or its stockholders (if such receipt is known by Mango) of any material sent or given by or on behalf of a third party to holders of Mango Common Stock generally, including dissident proxy and information circulars and related materials, and take-over bid or exchange offer materials and related materials, and provided such material has not been sent to the Beneficiaries by or on behalf of such third party, Mango shall obtain and deliver to the Trustee copies thereof in sufficient quantities to enable the Trustee to forward such materials to each Beneficiary as soon as possible thereafter. The Trustee shall mail or otherwise send to each Beneficiary, at the expense of Mango, copies of all such materials received by the Trustee from Mango, and shall make available for inspection during regular business hours by any Beneficiary at the Trustee’s principal office copies of all such materials. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mango may, at its option, exercise the duties of the Trustee to deliver copies of all such materials to all Beneficiaries as required by this Section 4.5 so long as, in each case, Mango delivers a certificate to the Trustee stating that Mango has undertaken to perform the obligations of the Trustee set forth in this Section 4.5.
| 4.6 | List of Persons Entitled to Vote |
ExchangeCo shall: (a) prior to each annual or other Mango Meeting or the seeking of any Mango Consent; and (b) forthwith upon each request made at any time by the Trustee in writing, prepare or cause to be prepared a list (a “List”) of the names and addresses of the Beneficiaries arranged in alphabetical order and showing the number of Exchangeable Shares held of record by each such Beneficiary, in each case at the close of business on the date specified by the Trustee in such request or, in the case of a List prepared in connection with a Mango Meeting or Mango Consent, at the close of business on the record date established by Mango or pursuant to applicable Law for determining the holders of Mango Common Stock entitled to receive notice of and/or to vote at such Mango Meeting or to give consent in connection with a Mango Consent. Each such List shall be delivered to the Trustee promptly after receipt by ExchangeCo of such request or the record date for such meeting or seeking of consent, as applicable, and, in any event, within sufficient time to permit the Trustee to perform its obligations under this Agreement. Mango agrees to give ExchangeCo notice (with a copy to the Trustee) of the calling of any Mango Meeting or the seeking of any Mango Consent, together with the record date therefor, sufficiently in advance to enable ExchangeCo to perform its obligations under this Section 4.6.
| - 8 - |
| 4.7 | Entitlement to Direct Votes |
Subject to Sections 4.8, 4.11 and 4.12, any Beneficiary named in a List prepared in connection with any Mango Meeting or Mango Consent shall be entitled to: (a) instruct the Trustee in the manner described in Section 4.2 with respect to the exercise of the Beneficiary Votes to which such Beneficiary is entitled; (b) attend such meeting and personally exercise thereat, or exercise with respect to any written consent, as the proxy of the Trustee, the Beneficiary Votes to which such Beneficiary is entitled; or (c) appoint a third party as the proxy of the Trustee to attend such meeting and exercise thereat the Beneficiary Votes to which such Beneficiary is entitled, except, in each case, to the extent that such Beneficiary has transferred ownership of the applicable Exchangeable Shares after the close of business on the record date for such meeting or consent.
| 4.8 | Voting by Trustee and Attendance of Trustee Representative at Meeting |
In connection with each Mango Meeting and Mango Consent, the Trustee shall exercise, either in person or by proxy, in accordance with the instructions received from a Beneficiary pursuant to Section 4.2, the Beneficiary Votes as to which such Beneficiary is entitled to direct the vote (or any lesser number thereof as may be set forth in the instructions), other than any Beneficiary Votes that are the subject of the paragraph below, provided that such written instructions are received by the Trustee prior to the time and date fixed by the Trustee for receipt of such instructions in the notice given pursuant to Section 4.3.
To the extent so instructed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee shall cause a representative empowered by it to sign and deliver, on behalf of the Trustee, proxies for Voting Rights enabling a Beneficiary to attend a Mango Meeting. Upon submission by a Beneficiary (or its designee) named in the List prepared in connection with the relevant meeting of identification satisfactory to the Trustee’s representative, and at the Beneficiary’s request, such representative shall sign and deliver to such Beneficiary (or its designee) a proxy to exercise personally the Beneficiary Votes as to which such Beneficiary is otherwise entitled hereunder to direct the vote, if such Beneficiary either: (i) has not previously given the Trustee instructions pursuant to Section 4.3 in respect of such meeting; or (ii) submits to such representative written revocation of any such previous instructions. At such meeting, the Beneficiary (or its designee) exercising such Beneficiary Votes in accordance with such proxy shall have the same rights in respect of such Beneficiary Votes as the Trustee to speak at the meeting, to vote by way of ballot, and to vote by way of a show of hands, in each case in respect of any matter, question, proposal or proposition.
| 4.9 | Distribution of Written Materials |
Any written materials distributed by the Trustee to the Beneficiaries pursuant to this Agreement shall be sent by mail (or otherwise communicated in the same manner as Mango utilizes in communications to holders of Mango Common Stock, subject to applicable regulatory requirements and to the Trustee being advised in writing of such manner and provided such manner is reasonably available to the Trustee) to each Beneficiary at its address as shown on the register of holders of Exchangeable Shares maintained by the registrar. In connection with each such distribution, ExchangeCo shall provide or cause to be provided to the Trustee, for purposes of communication, on a timely basis and without charge or other expense, a current List, and upon request of the Trustee, mailing labels to enable the Trustee to carry out its duties under this Agreement. ExchangeCo’s obligations under this Section 4.9 shall be deemed satisfied to the extent Mango exercises its option to perform the duties of the Trustee to deliver copies of materials to each Beneficiary and ExchangeCo provides the required information and materials to Mango.
| 4.10 | Termination of Voting Rights |
Except as otherwise provided in the Exchangeable Share Provisions, all rights of a Beneficiary with respect to the Beneficiary Votes attributable to an Exchangeable Share shall cease only upon the earliest of:
| (a) | completion of the purchase of such Exchangeable Share pursuant to the Exchange Right and delivery in full of the applicable Exchangeable Share Consideration; |
| (b) | completion of the automatic exchange of such Exchangeable Share pursuant to Article 5, including delivery of the applicable Exchangeable Share Consideration; |
| - 9 - |
| (c) | completion of the retraction or redemption of such Exchangeable Share pursuant to Section 7 or Section 8, respectively, of the Exchangeable Share Provisions, including delivery of the applicable Exchangeable Share Consideration; |
| (d) | completion of the applicable distribution in connection with the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of ExchangeCo pursuant to Section 6 of the Exchangeable Share Provisions; or |
| (e) | completion of the purchase of such Exchangeable Share by Mango or CallCo pursuant to the Liquidation Call Right, Redemption Call Right or Retraction Call Right, including delivery of the applicable Exchangeable Share Consideration. |
For greater certainty, the tender or surrender of an Exchangeable Share, or the delivery of an instruction, request or notice relating thereto, shall not terminate the Voting Rights attributable to such Exchangeable Share unless and until the applicable purchase, exchange, redemption, retraction or other acquisition has been completed and the relevant consideration has been delivered.
| 4.11 | Disclosure of Interest in Exchangeable Shares |
The Trustee or ExchangeCo shall be entitled to require any Beneficiary or any Person whom the Trustee or ExchangeCo, as the case may be, knows or has reasonable cause to believe holds any interest whatsoever in an Exchangeable Share to: (a) confirm that fact; or (b) give such details as to whom has an interest in such Exchangeable Share, in each case as would be required (if the Exchangeable Shares were a class of “equity securities” of ExchangeCo) under applicable Canadian securities Laws or as would be required under the articles of Mango or any Laws or regulations, or pursuant to the rules or regulations of any regulatory agency, if and only to the extent that the Exchangeable Shares were shares of Mango Common Stock. If a Beneficiary does not provide the information required to be provided by such Beneficiary pursuant to this Section 4.11, the board of directors of Mango may take any action permitted under the articles or by-laws of Mango or any Laws or regulations, or pursuant to the rules or regulations of any regulatory agency, with respect to the Voting Rights relating to the Exchangeable Shares held by such Beneficiary as if, and only to the extent that, the Exchangeable Shares were shares of Mango Common Stock.
| 4.12 | Nasdaq Cap Limitation on Voting Rights |
Until the Required Approvals have been obtained, neither the Trustee nor any Beneficiary shall exercise or instruct the exercise of Voting Rights to the extent that such exercise would exceed the applicable voting limitation forming part of the Nasdaq Cap.
If valid voting instructions would otherwise cause the Voting Rights exercised to exceed that limitation, the Trustee shall reduce the Voting Rights actually exercised and allocate the permitted Voting Rights among the affected Beneficiaries on a pro rata basis according to the number of Beneficiary Votes each such Beneficiary validly instructed the Trustee to exercise, unless another allocation method is required by applicable Law or Nasdaq.
The Trustee may conclusively rely on Mango’s written determination of the applicable voting limitation under Section 3.4 and shall have no obligation to calculate or independently verify the Nasdaq Cap or the applicable allocation.

EXCHANGE AND AUTOMATIC EXCHANGE
| 5.1 | Grant and Ownership of the Exchange Right and Automatic Exchange Right |
Mango and CallCo hereby grant to the Trustee, as trustee for and on behalf of, and for the use and benefit of, the Beneficiaries:
| (a) | the right (the “Exchange Right”), upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Insolvency Event, to require Mango or, at the option of Mango, CallCo to purchase from a Beneficiary all or any part of the Exchangeable Shares held by such Beneficiary in accordance with this Agreement; and |
| (b) | the Automatic Exchange Right. |
Each of Mango and CallCo acknowledges receipt from the Trustee, as trustee for and on behalf of the Beneficiaries, of good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are acknowledged, for the grant of the Exchange Right and the Automatic Exchange Right.
During the term of the Trust, the Trustee shall possess and be vested with legal ownership of the Exchange Right and the Automatic Exchange Right and shall be entitled to exercise the rights and powers of an owner with respect thereto, provided that the Trustee shall:
| (a) | hold the Exchange Right, the Automatic Exchange Right and the legal title thereto solely as trustee for the use and benefit of the Beneficiaries in accordance with this Agreement; and |
| (b) | except as expressly authorized by this Agreement, have no power or authority to exercise or otherwise deal with the Exchange Right or the Automatic Exchange Right for any purpose other than the purposes for which the Trust is created. |
| 5.2 | Notice of Exchange Rights |
ExchangeCo shall cause each certificate, direct registration statement or other written evidence of ownership of Exchangeable Shares to contain or be accompanied by the notice required under Section 3.2.
| 5.3 | General Exercise of Exchange Right |
The Exchange Right shall remain vested in and exercisable by the Trustee. Subject to Section 6.15, the Trustee shall exercise the Exchange Right only on the basis of instructions received pursuant to this Article 5 from a Beneficiary entitled to instruct the Trustee as to its exercise. To the extent no such instructions are received from a Beneficiary, the Trustee shall not exercise the Exchange Right in respect of the Exchangeable Shares held by such Beneficiary.
| 5.4 | Purchase Price |
The purchase price payable by Mango or CallCo, as applicable, for each Exchangeable Share purchased pursuant to the Exchange Right shall be an amount per Exchangeable Share equal to the Exchangeable Share Price on the last Business Day immediately preceding the closing of the purchase and sale, which shall be satisfied in full by Mango or CallCo delivering or causing to be delivered to the Trustee, on behalf of the relevant Beneficiary, the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing such Exchangeable Share Price.
In connection with each exercise of the Exchange Right, Mango or CallCo, as applicable, shall provide the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the calculation of the Exchangeable Share Price. Upon delivery in full of the Exchangeable Share Consideration, the relevant Beneficiary shall cease to have any right to receive from ExchangeCo any amount in respect of declared, payable and unpaid dividends included in such Exchangeable Share Consideration.
No Exchangeable Share shall be deemed purchased, transferred or cancelled, and no right of a Beneficiary in respect thereof shall terminate, unless and until the applicable Exchangeable Share Consideration has been delivered in full, subject to Section 5.15.
| - 11 - |
| 5.5 | Exercise Instructions |
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Insolvency Event, a Beneficiary may instruct the Trustee to exercise the Exchange Right with respect to all or any part of the Exchangeable Shares registered in the name of such Beneficiary.
To exercise the Exchange Right, the Beneficiary shall deliver to the Trustee:
| (a) | in the case of certificated Exchangeable Shares, the applicable certificate or certificates, duly endorsed in blank for transfer; |
| (b) | in the case of uncertificated Exchangeable Shares, an instruction or other evidence of ownership and transfer satisfactory to the Trustee, ExchangeCo and the Transfer Agent; |
| (c) | a completed notice of exercise specifying: |
| (i) | the number of Exchangeable Shares in respect of which the Exchange Right is being exercised; |
| (ii) | that the Beneficiary has good title to such Exchangeable Shares, free and clear of all Encumbrances; |
| (iii) | the registration instructions for the Mango Common Stock forming part of the Exchangeable Share Consideration; and |
| (iv) | the delivery instructions for the Exchangeable Share Consideration; and |
| (d) | payment, or evidence satisfactory to Mango, CallCo, ExchangeCo and the Trustee of payment, of any taxes payable under Section 5.8. |
If only part of a Beneficiary’s certificated or uncertificated position is purchased, ExchangeCo or the Transfer Agent shall issue a replacement certificate, direct registration statement or other written evidence of ownership representing the balance of the Exchangeable Shares at ExchangeCo’s expense.
| 5.6 | Completion and Effect of Exercise |
Promptly after receiving the documents and instructions required under Section 5.5, the Trustee shall notify Mango, CallCo and ExchangeCo. Such notice shall constitute the Trustee’s exercise of the Exchange Right on behalf of the relevant Beneficiary.
The purchase shall be completed only to the extent permitted by Section 5 of the Exchangeable Share Provisions. Mango or, at the option of Mango, CallCo shall deliver to the Trustee the Exchangeable Share Consideration payable in respect of the number of Exchangeable Shares permitted to be purchased.
The purchase and sale of an Exchangeable Share shall be completed only when the applicable Exchangeable Share Consideration has been delivered in full to the Trustee for delivery to the Beneficiary. At that time:
| (a) | the Beneficiary shall be deemed to have transferred to Mango or CallCo, as applicable, all of its right, title and interest in the purchased Exchangeable Share and the related interest in the Trust Estate; |
| (b) | the Beneficiary shall cease to be a holder of that Exchangeable Share; |
| (c) | the Beneficiary shall be deemed to be the holder of the Mango Common Stock included in the applicable Exchangeable Share Consideration; and |
| (d) | the Trustee shall promptly deliver the applicable Exchangeable Share Consideration to the Beneficiary or its properly designated recipient. |
Any Exchangeable Shares tendered but not capable of being purchased because of the Nasdaq Cap shall remain outstanding and shall be returned or credited to the Beneficiary, with all rights attaching thereto unaffected.
| - 12 - |
| 5.7 | Exercise of Exchange Right Subsequent to Retraction |
If a Beneficiary has delivered a Retraction Request under Section 7(a) of the Exchangeable Share Provisions and ExchangeCo determines that it is not permitted, as a result of the solvency requirements or other provisions of applicable Law, to redeem all of the Retracted Shares, then, provided that CallCo has not exercised the Retraction Call Right and the Beneficiary has not withdrawn the Retraction Request, the Retraction Request shall constitute and be deemed to constitute an instruction from the Beneficiary to the Trustee to exercise the Exchange Right in respect of the Retracted Shares that ExchangeCo is unable to redeem.
ExchangeCo shall promptly notify the Trustee of the number of Retracted Shares that ExchangeCo is unable to redeem and shall forward to the Trustee all relevant documents and materials delivered by the Beneficiary to ExchangeCo or the Transfer Agent in connection with the proposed retraction. The Trustee shall thereupon exercise the Exchange Right in respect of such unredeemed Retracted Shares and require Mango or, at the option of Mango, CallCo to purchase such shares in accordance with this Article 5, subject to Section 5 of the Exchangeable Share Provisions and Section 5.15 of this Agreement.
| 5.8 | Transfer Taxes |
Upon any sale or transfer of Exchangeable Shares to Mango or CallCo pursuant to the Exchange Right or the Automatic Exchange Right, the certificate, direct registration statement or other book-entry evidence representing the Mango Common Stock to be delivered as part of the applicable Exchangeable Share Consideration shall be issued in the name of the Beneficiary or in such other name as the Beneficiary may direct in writing, without charge to the Beneficiary; provided that the Beneficiary: (a) shall pay, and none of Mango, CallCo, ExchangeCo or the Trustee shall be required to pay, any documentary, stamp, transfer or other taxes or duties payable in respect of any sale or transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of such shares to a Person other than such Beneficiary, including where the securities are issued or delivered in the name of a clearing service, depositary or nominee thereof; or (b) shall have evidenced to the satisfaction of Mango, CallCo, ExchangeCo and the Trustee that such taxes or duties have been paid.
| 5.9 | Notice of Insolvency Event |
As soon as practicable following the occurrence of an Insolvency Event or any event that with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would be an Insolvency Event, Mango and ExchangeCo shall give written notice thereof to the Trustee. As soon as practicable after receiving such notice, or upon the Trustee otherwise becoming aware of an Insolvency Event, the Trustee shall mail to each Beneficiary, at the expense of Mango (such funds to be received in advance), a notice of such Insolvency Event in the form provided by Mango, which notice shall contain a brief statement of the rights of the Beneficiaries with respect to the Exchange Right.
| 5.10 | U.S. Securities Law Compliance and Listing of Mango Common Stock |
Mango shall, in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement:
| (a) | as promptly as reasonably practicable following Closing, prepare and file with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement on Form S-4 containing the proxy statement for the Mango Stockholder Approval and a prospectus for the registration under the 1933 Act of the Mango Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Exchangeable Shares (the “Registration Statement”); |
| (b) | use commercially reasonable efforts to respond promptly to comments received from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and to cause the Registration Statement to become effective; |
| (c) | use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Mango Stockholder Approval and the Nasdaq Approval, as well as the other Mango Proposals, as promptly as reasonably practicable following Closing; |
| (d) | following effectiveness, maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or a successor registration statement, for so long as required by the Business Combination Agreement and applicable Law to permit the issuance or delivery of Mango Common Stock in connection with the Exchangeable Shares; and |
| (e) | make all filings and obtain all regulatory consents and approvals required so that Mango Common Stock issued or delivered under the Exchangeable Share Provisions, the Support Agreement or this Agreement is issued and delivered in compliance with applicable United States federal and state securities Laws and applicable Canadian securities Laws. |
| - 13 - |
Before the Registration Statement becomes effective, Mango Common Stock may be issued or delivered only pursuant to an available exemption from registration and subject to all applicable resale restrictions and legends. Nothing in this Agreement shall require Mango, CallCo, ExchangeCo or the Trustee to issue, deliver or transfer securities in violation of applicable securities Laws or Nasdaq requirements.
Mango shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Mango Common Stock issuable in connection with the Exchangeable Shares to be approved for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to official notice of issuance and the Nasdaq Cap until the Required Approvals have been obtained.
| 5.11 | Mango Common Stock |
Mango represents, warrants and covenants that the shares of Mango Common Stock deliverable under this Agreement will, when issued in accordance with this Agreement, the Exchangeable Share Provisions and applicable Law, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and delivered free and clear of any Encumbrance arising by, through or under Mango, CallCo or ExchangeCo, other than restrictions arising under applicable securities Laws.
| 5.12 | Automatic Exchange on Liquidation of Mango |
Mango shall give the Trustee written notice of each of the following events (each, a “Liquidation Event”) at the time set forth below:
| (a) | in the event of any determination by the board of directors of Mango to institute voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up proceedings with respect to Mango or to effect any other distribution of assets of Mango among its stockholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, at least 30 days prior to the proposed effective date of such liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or other distribution; |
| (b) | as soon as practicable following the earlier of: (A) receipt by Mango of notice of; and (B) Mango otherwise becoming aware of, any instituted claim, suit, petition or other proceedings with respect to the involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Mango or to effect any other distribution of assets of Mango among its stockholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, in each case where Mango has failed to contest in good faith any such proceeding commenced in respect of Mango within 30 days of becoming aware thereof; and |
| (c) | definitive documents respecting any Mango Control Transaction (other than a transaction contemplated by Section 10.4) are entered into by Mango and the board of directors of Mango determines in good faith that it is not practicable to substantially replicate the terms and conditions of the Exchangeable Shares in connection with such Mango Control Transaction. |
As soon as practicable following receipt by the Trustee from Mango of notice of a Liquidation Event, the Trustee shall give notice thereof to the Beneficiaries. Such notice shall be provided by Mango to the Trustee and shall include a brief description of the automatic exchange of Exchangeable Shares for Mango Common Stock provided for below (the “Automatic Exchange Right”).
In order that the Beneficiaries will be able to participate on a pro rata basis with the holders of Mango Common Stock in the distribution of assets of Mango in connection with a Liquidation Event, immediately prior to the effective date (the “Liquidation Event Effective Date”) of a Liquidation Event, each of the then outstanding Exchangeable Shares (other than Exchangeable Shares held by Mango and its Affiliates) shall be automatically exchanged for Mango Common Stock. To effect such automatic exchange, Mango shall purchase each such Exchangeable Share outstanding immediately prior to the Liquidation Event Effective Date, and each Beneficiary shall sell each such Exchangeable Share held by it at such time, free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance, for a purchase price per share equal to the Exchangeable Share Price immediately prior to the Liquidation Event Effective Date, satisfied in full by Mango delivering to such holder the Exchangeable Share Consideration representing such Exchangeable Share Price. For greater certainty, the Beneficiary shall upon delivery of the Exchangeable Share Consideration cease to have any right to be paid by ExchangeCo any amount in respect of declared and unpaid dividends on the Exchangeable Shares.
| - 14 - |
The closing of the purchase and sale contemplated by the Automatic Exchange Right shall occur immediately prior to the Liquidation Event Effective Date upon delivery in full of the applicable Exchangeable Share Consideration to the Trustee for delivery to the relevant Beneficiary. Upon such delivery: (a) the Beneficiary shall be deemed to have transferred to Mango all of its right, title and interest in and to the applicable Exchangeable Shares, free and clear of all Encumbrances, and the related interest in the Trust Estate; (b) the Beneficiary shall cease to be a holder of those Exchangeable Shares; (c) the Beneficiary shall be deemed for all purposes to be the holder of the Mango Common Stock included in the Exchangeable Share Consideration; and (d) the Trustee shall promptly deliver the Exchangeable Share Consideration to the Beneficiary. Certificated and uncertificated Exchangeable Shares shall be transferred and cancelled through procedures established by ExchangeCo and the Transfer Agent.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Automatic Exchange Right shall be subject to Section 5 of the Exchangeable Share Provisions and Section 5.15 of this Agreement. No Exchangeable Share shall be deemed transferred, purchased, exchanged or cancelled, and no Beneficiary shall cease to have any rights in respect thereof, unless and until the applicable Exchangeable Share Consideration has been delivered in full. To the extent that an automatic exchange cannot be completed because of the Nasdaq Cap, the corresponding Exchangeable Shares shall remain outstanding with all rights attaching thereto, and Mango shall comply with its obligations under Article 10 and the Support Agreement to preserve the economic and voting rights of the applicable Beneficiaries in connection with the relevant Liquidation Event or Mango Control Transaction.
| 5.13 | Withholding Rights |
Mango, CallCo, ExchangeCo and the Trustee shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any dividend, distribution, price or other consideration otherwise payable under this Agreement to any holder of Exchangeable Shares or Mango Common Stock such amounts as Mango, CallCo, ExchangeCo or the Trustee is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment under the Income Tax Act (Canada), the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any provision of federal, provincial, territorial, state, local or foreign tax Law, in each case as amended or succeeded. The Trustee may act and rely on the advice of counsel with respect to such matters. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes as having been paid to the holder of the shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made, provided such withheld amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate taxing agency. To the extent that the amount so required to be deducted or withheld from any payment to a holder exceeds the cash portion of the consideration otherwise payable to the holder, Mango, CallCo, ExchangeCo and the Trustee are hereby authorized to sell or otherwise dispose of such portion of the consideration as is necessary to provide sufficient funds to comply with such deduction or withholding requirement, and shall notify the holder thereof and remit to such holder any unapplied balance of the net proceeds of such sale.
| 5.14 | Fractional Shares |
No fractional share of Mango Common Stock shall be issued or delivered upon the exercise of the Exchange Right or Automatic Exchange Right. If a Beneficiary would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share of Mango Common Stock, the number of shares of Mango Common Stock deliverable to such Beneficiary shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share, and the Beneficiary shall receive, in lieu of the fractional share, an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying:
| (a) | the applicable fractional interest; by |
| (b) | the Current Market Price of one share of Mango Common Stock on the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable payment date; |
provided that no cash payment shall be made if the aggregate amount otherwise payable to the Beneficiary in lieu of a fractional share is less than US$10.00.
| - 15 - |
| 5.15 | Nasdaq Cap Limitation on Delivery of Mango Common Stock |
Until the Required Approvals have been obtained, no Exchangeable Share shall be purchased or exchanged under this Article 5 to the extent that the issuance or delivery of the applicable Mango Common Stock would exceed the Nasdaq Cap.
Mango shall determine the capacity available under the Nasdaq Cap, acting reasonably and after consultation with its Nasdaq counsel, and shall provide written notice of such determination to the Trustee, CallCo and ExchangeCo. The Trustee, CallCo and ExchangeCo may conclusively rely on Mango’s determination and shall have no duty to calculate or independently verify the capacity available under the Nasdaq Cap.
Any Retraction Requests delivered pursuant to arrangements made in connection with Closing shall receive the priority specified in Section 5 of the Exchangeable Share Provisions. Thereafter, where available capacity is insufficient to complete all pending exchanges or purchases, such capacity shall be allocated among affected Beneficiaries on a pro rata basis according to the number of shares of Mango Common Stock otherwise deliverable to them, unless another allocation method is required by applicable Law or Nasdaq.
Only Exchangeable Shares for which the applicable Exchangeable Share Consideration has been delivered in full shall be transferred, purchased, exchanged or cancelled. All remaining Exchangeable Shares shall remain outstanding, with all rights attaching thereto, until they may be purchased or exchanged in compliance with Section 5 of the Exchangeable Share Provisions, applicable Law and Nasdaq requirements.

| - 16 - |
In the exercise of such rights, powers, duties and authorities, the Trustee shall have (and is granted) such incidental and additional rights, powers, duties and authority not in conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement as the Trustee, acting in good faith and in the reasonable exercise of its discretion, may deem necessary, appropriate or desirable to effect the purpose of the Trust. Any exercise of such discretionary rights, powers, duties and authorities by the Trustee shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all Persons. For greater certainty, the Trustee shall have only those duties as are set out specifically in this Agreement.
The Trustee, in exercising its rights, powers, duties and authorities hereunder, shall act honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the Beneficiaries and shall exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent trustee would exercise in comparable circumstances.
The Trustee shall not be bound to give notice or do or take any act, action or proceeding by virtue of the powers conferred on it hereby unless and until it shall be specifically required to do so under the terms hereof; nor shall the Trustee be required to take any notice of, or to do, or to take any act, action or proceeding as a result of, any default or breach of any provision hereunder, unless and until notified in writing of such default or breach, which notice shall distinctly specify the default or breach desired to be brought to the attention of the Trustee, and in the absence of such notice the Trustee may for all purposes of this Agreement conclusively assume that no default or breach has been made in the observance or performance of any of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or conditions contained herein.

The Trustee shall, within 90 days after it becomes aware that such material conflict of interest exists, either eliminate such material conflict of interest or resign in the manner and with the effect specified in Article 9. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee has such a material conflict of interest, the validity and enforceability of this Agreement shall not be affected in any manner whatsoever by reason only of the existence of such material conflict of interest.

INDEMNIFICATION AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
| 8.1 | Indemnification of the Trustee |
Mango, CallCo and ExchangeCo jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee and each of its directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings (whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or otherwise), and reasonable costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) of any kind whatsoever which, unless resulting from the bad faith, fraud, gross negligence, recklessness or wilful misconduct of the applicable Indemnified Party, may be paid, incurred or suffered by the Indemnified Party by reason of or as a result of the Trustee’s acceptance or administration of the Trust, its compliance with its duties set forth in this Agreement, or any written or oral instruction delivered to the Trustee by Mango, CallCo or ExchangeCo pursuant hereto.
The Trustee shall promptly notify Mango, CallCo and ExchangeCo of a claim or of any action commenced against any Indemnified Parties promptly after the Trustee or any Indemnified Party shall have received written assertion of such claim or action or have been served with a summons or other first legal process giving information as to the nature and basis of the claim or action; provided, however, that the omission to so notify Mango, CallCo or ExchangeCo shall not relieve Mango, CallCo or ExchangeCo of any liability which any of them may have to any Indemnified Party except to the extent that any such delay prejudices the defence of any such claim or action or results in any increase in the liability which Mango, CallCo or ExchangeCo have under this indemnity. Mango, CallCo and ExchangeCo shall be entitled to participate at their own expense in the defence and, if Mango, CallCo and ExchangeCo so elect at any time after receipt of such notice, either of them may assume the defence of any suit brought to enforce any such claim. The Trustee shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such suit and participate in the defence thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Trustee unless: (i) the employment of such counsel has been authorized by Mango, CallCo or ExchangeCo; or (ii) the named parties to any such suit include both the Trustee and Mango, CallCo or ExchangeCo and the Trustee shall have been advised by counsel acceptable to Mango, CallCo and ExchangeCo that there may be one or more legal defences available to the Trustee that are different from or in addition to those available to Mango, CallCo or ExchangeCo and that, in the judgment of such counsel, would present a conflict of interest were a joint representation to be undertaken (in which case Mango, CallCo and ExchangeCo shall not have the right to assume the defence of such suit on behalf of the Trustee but shall be liable to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Trustee). This indemnity shall survive the termination of the Trust and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.
| 8.2 | Limitation of Liability |
The Trustee shall not be held liable for any loss which may occur by reason of depreciation of the value of any part of the Trust Estate or any loss incurred on any investment of funds pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent that such loss is attributable to the bad faith, fraud, gross negligence, recklessness or wilful misconduct on the part of the Trustee.

17130 N. Dallas Parkway, Suite 240
Dallas, Texas 75248
Attn: Board of Directors
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter agreement (this “Letter Agreement”) is being delivered to you in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement dated as of July [*], 2026 (the “Business Combination Agreement”) entered into by and among MANGOCEUTICALS, INC., a corporation incorporated under the Laws of the State of Texas, with its principal executive office at 17130 N. Dallas Parkway, Suite 240, Dallas, Texas 75248 (“Mango”), NUCLEA ENERGY INC., a corporation existing under the Laws of British Columbia, with an office at 2425 Skymark Ave., Unit 5, Mississauga, Ontario L4W 4Y6 (“Nuclea”), and certain shareholders and senior executives of Mango and Nuclea listed on the signature page hereof (each, a “Shareholder” and collectively the “Shareholders”).
Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Letter Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Business Combination Agreement.
In order to induce Mango and Nuclea to proceed with the Transaction and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each of the undersigned Shareholder hereby agrees with Mango as follows (the Shareholders, Nuclea and Mango collectively the “Parties” and each individually a “Party”):
1. Subject to the exceptions set forth herein, the Shareholder agrees not to (i) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder, any Mango Common Stock (the “Mango Shares”) held by it immediately after the Closing, any Mango Shares issuable upon the exercise of any rights, options, warrants or other securities to purchase any Mango Shares held by it immediately after the Closing, or any rights, options, warrants or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for any Mango Shares held by it immediately after the Closing (collectively, the “Subject Securities”), (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any of such Subject Securities, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii) (the actions specified in clauses (i)-(iii), collectively, “Transfer”) for the period (the “Lock-Up Period”) commencing on the Effective Time and until the date that is three-hundred and sixty-five (365) days after the Closing.
| 2. | The restrictions set forth in paragraph 1 shall not apply to: |
| (i) | if the Shareholder is not an individual, in the case of an entity, Transfers to a shareholder, partner, member or direct or indirect affiliate (within the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under Securities Act) of the Shareholder; |
| (ii) | if the Shareholder is an individual, Transfers by gift to members of the individual’s immediate family (as defined below) or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a member of one of the individual’s immediate family, an affiliate of such person or to a charitable organization; | |

| (iv) | if the Shareholder is an individual, Transfers pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; | |
| (v) | if the Shareholder is not an individual, Transfers by virtue of the laws of the jurisdiction of the entity’s organization and the entity’s organizational documents upon dissolution of the entity; | |
| (vi) | Transfers pursuant to transactions relating to the Mango Shares or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for the Mango Shares acquired in open market transactions after the Closing; | |
| (vii) | Transfers pursuant to transactions in the event of completion of a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of Mango’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Mango Shares for cash, securities or other property; and | |
| (viii) | Transfers pursuant to transactions to satisfy any U.S. federal, state, or local income tax obligations of the Shareholder (or its direct or indirect owners) arising from a change in the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or the U.S. Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Regulations”) after the date on which the Business Combination Agreement was executed by the parties thereto, and such change prevents the Transactions from qualifying as a “reorganization” pursuant to Section 368 or qualifying as a nonrecognition exchange described in Section 351(a) of the Code (and the Transactions do not qualify for similar tax-free treatment pursuant to any successor or other provision of the Code or Regulations taking into account such changes). |
provided, however, that in the case of clauses (i) through (v), these permitted transferees must enter into a written agreement, in substantially the form of this Letter Agreement (it being understood that any references to “immediate family” in the agreement executed by such transferee shall expressly refer only to the immediate family of the Shareholder and not to the immediate family of the transferee), agreeing to be bound by these Transfer restrictions. For purposes of this paragraph, “immediate family” shall mean a spouse, domestic partner, child, grandchild or other lineal descendant (including by adoption), father, mother, brother or sister of the Shareholder; and “affiliate” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Upon request, the Shareholder will execute any additional documents necessary in connection with enforcement hereof, provided that the terms of any such additional document shall not impose any additional restrictions or obligations on the Shareholder. Any obligations of the Shareholder shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Shareholder from and after the date hereof.
4. This Letter Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties in respect of the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the Parties, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby. This Letter Agreement may not be changed, amended, modified or waived (other than to correct a typographical error) as to any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed by all of the Parties.
5. No Party may assign either this Letter Agreement or any of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Parties. Any purported assignment in violation of this paragraph shall be void and ineffectual and shall not operate to transfer or assign any interest or title to the purported assignee. This Letter Agreement shall be binding on the Shareholder and each of its respective successors, heirs and assigns and permitted transferees.
6. This Letter Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. Article VII of the Business Combination Agreement (Dispute Resolution) shall apply mutatis mutandis hereunder.
7. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AND ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS LETTER AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY HERETO IN NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.

Exhibit 99.1
Mangoceuticals Announces Business Combination Agreement with Nuclea Energy Inc. to Advance Next-Generation Nuclear Microreactor Technology
Business Combination Agreement to Bring Nuclea’s Lead-Cooled Morpheus Microreactor to the Public Markets Amid Surging Power Demand from AI and Data Centers
DALLAS, TEXAS – July 30, 2026 - Mangoceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: MGRX) (“Mangoceuticals” or the “Company”) today announced that it has entered into a definitive business combination agreement (the “Agreement”) with Nuclea Energy Inc. (“Nuclea”), an advanced nuclear technology company founded in August 2023 and headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario, developing the Morpheus microreactor, a lead-cooled, factory-built micro-modular reactor. Nuclea is advancing its Morpheus nuclear reactor from the current design stage through an 18-month development roadmap toward regulatory and commercial readiness.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a newly formed subsidiary of Mangoceuticals will amalgamate with Nuclea, with the resulting company continuing as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Mangoceuticals. In connection with the amalgamation, holders of Nuclea common shares will receive exchangeable shares of a Mangoceuticals subsidiary (the “Exchangeable Shares”), exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for shares of Mangoceuticals common stock and carrying economic and voting rights intended to be substantially equivalent to those of Mangoceuticals common stock, subject to the Nasdaq Cap (as described below).
“The scale of capital being committed to power the AI build-out is enormous, and we believe advanced nuclear and microreactors will be a critical part of how that demand is met. Nuclea brings a differentiated, inherently safe reactor design, a strong technical and regulatory team, and a clear roadmap to commercialization, and we are excited to bring this opportunity to our shareholders,” said Jacob Cohen, Chief Executive Officer of Mangoceuticals, Inc.
Electricity demand in the United States is projected to rise sharply after two decades of being largely flat, driven substantially by the build-out of artificial intelligence infrastructure and hyperscale data centers, as well as electrification and the reshoring of domestic manufacturing. The Company believes nuclear power is one of the few proven, scalable technologies capable of delivering the continuous, carbon-free baseload electricity this demand requires, and that advanced microreactors are particularly well suited to serve data centers, defense installations, and remote or off-grid sites that cannot be efficiently served by the grid or by intermittent renewable generation.
The advanced nuclear and microreactor sector is benefiting from significant U.S. policy tailwinds that are accelerating licensing pathways and unlocking substantial government support. The bipartisan ADVANCE Act (signed into law in July 2024) (DOE announcement; Pub. L. 118-67) specifically directs the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to develop performance-based, risk-informed guidance and strategies for licensing and regulating microreactors within 18 months (NRC page), while also reducing fees for advanced reactor applicants, authorizing prizes for first movers, and streamlining reviews at brownfield and DOE sites (Senate summary). Complementing this, the Department of Energy has made available significant capital, including a re-issued $900 million solicitation focused on commercial deployment of American-made small modular reactors (with up to $800 million earmarked for first-mover utility-vendor-constructor teams) (DOE $900M solicitation) and ongoing support through its Microreactor Program for R&D, testing infrastructure (such as MARVEL and MAGNET) (DOE Microreactor Program; MARVEL page), and related initiatives under the broader Office of Nuclear Energy budget. These federal measures, alongside growing state-level nuclear development funds and executive emphasis on nuclear power to meet surging AI and data-center demand (White House EO – Deploying Advanced Nuclear Reactor Technologies for National Security; DOE Fact Sheet), are creating a more favorable environment for early-stage developers to advance designs toward commercialization.
Nuclea’s Morpheus microreactor is a lead-cooled, graphite-moderated design in the conceptual design stage, scalable from approximately 3.5 MWe to 50 MWe of output. The design incorporates several inherent safety characteristics associated with lead coolant, including a high boiling point that provides a substantial thermal margin, near-atmospheric operating pressure, passive natural-convection cooling that does not require pumps, and the absence of water or steam within the reactor. Nuclea has also developed a proprietary, patent-pending annular fuel configuration designed to extend the reactor’s refueling cycle to up to 5 years, well beyond the industry standard of 1.5 years. The reactor is designed to be factory-fabricated and transportable via standard rail and road shipping methods (approximately 3m³ core module), and Nuclea has identified potential use cases across data centers, defense and military installations, remote mining operations, and remote communities currently reliant on diesel generation.
The Company believes Nuclea is positioned to benefit from several tailwinds specific to advanced nuclear, including growing hyperscaler and government interest in on-site and co-located power for data centers, the potential for factory-built and transportable reactors to shorten construction timelines and reduce capital costs relative to conventional nuclear plants, and increasing policy support for domestic advanced reactor licensing and deployment.
“This agreement gives Nuclea a faster path to the public markets at a defining moment for our industry. Demand for continuous, carbon-free power is accelerating, and microreactors are built to serve the data centers, defense installations and remote sites that the grid cannot efficiently reach. As a public company, we will have the capital access and visibility to advance Morpheus toward first-of-a-kind delivery and to execute on our commercialization roadmap,” said Josef Freundorfer, Chief Executive Officer of Nuclea Energy Inc.
The closing of the transaction is expected to occur prior to receipt of the Required Approvals (as defined below). Until such time as both (i) Mangoceuticals stockholder approval and (ii) Nasdaq approval of the initial listing application (collectively, the “Required Approvals”) have been obtained, the aggregate economic rights, voting rights and exchange rights attributable to the Exchangeable Shares, together with any Mangoceuticals common stock issued in connection with the transaction, will be limited by a cap equal to 19.99% of the outstanding Mangoceuticals common stock immediately prior to closing (the “Nasdaq Cap”). No Exchangeable Shareholder will be entitled to receive, exercise or realize any economic, voting or exchange rights in excess of the Nasdaq Cap until the Required Approvals have been obtained. Following receipt of the Required Approvals, the Exchangeable Shares will provide holders with the full economic, voting and exchange rights contemplated by the Agreement, and Mangoceuticals will take all actions necessary to permit the issuance and realization of all rights previously restricted by the Nasdaq Cap.
The transaction is intended to provide Nuclea with a public listing on Nasdaq to support the continued development and commercialization of its advanced nuclear technology, and to give current Mangoceuticals’ shareholders exposure to the advanced nuclear sector at a time when demand for reliable, carbon-free electricity is accelerating.
The transaction has been approved by the Boards of Directors of both Mangoceuticals and Nuclea. Because the number of shares issuable in the transaction would exceed 19.99% of Mangoceuticals’ outstanding common stock, completion of the transaction requires Mangoceuticals stockholder approval under applicable Nasdaq rules.
