New major risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$10m. Market cap: CA$13.8m (US$9.93m) This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-CA$2.2m free cash flow). Market cap is less than US$10m (CA$13.8m market cap, or US$9.93m). Minor Risk Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (CA$137k sold). New Risk • May 14

Avicanna Inc. Announces Sponsorship of University of Calgary THC Dose Finding Clinical Trial Avicanna Inc. announced the initiation of new Phase I randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, dose-finding clinical trial led by researchers at the University of Calgary’s Cumming School of Medicine. The Trial is led by Dr. Leah Mayo, Assistant Professor, and supported by Dr. Matthew Hill, Professor at the University of Calgary. This single site, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial will enroll 24 healthy adult participants. Participants will receive single oral doses of THC across separate study visits at 6 mg, 9 mg, and 15 mg, as well as placebo, with washout periods between dosing sessions. Primary endpoints focus on validated psychometric assessments of anxiety and subjective response. Secondary endpoints include measures of mood and intoxication, cardiovascular parameters, circulating stress biomarkers, endocannabinoid system markers, and pharmacokinetic profiling. The Trial is designed to generate high resolution dose response data to better define the therapeutic window of oral THC and to characterize interindividual variability in response. The Trial utilizes Avicanna’s proprietary AVCN319301b THC capsules which utilize the Company’s Solid Self-Emulsifying Drug Delivery System (SEDDs) technology. Due to the highly lipophilic nature and poor water-solubility of cannabinoids, typical cannabis formulations have poor absorption and variability of onset. Avicanna’s oral delivery systems offer an effective route for non-invasive and non-inhalation administration of cannabinoids. The proprietary capsules are also enrolled in a previously announced pilot phase II randomized controlled trial for osteoarthritis with the University Health Network. Avicanna’s SEDDs technology has demonstrated robustness and versatility through different drug delivery formats including several commercial products such as liquid infuser drops, capsules and an extensive pipeline of products currently in commercialization stage.

Avicanna Inc. Announces Medical Cannabis Real World Evidence Results and Publication Avicanna Inc. announced the publication of results from an investigator-led Medical Cannabis Real-World Evidence (MCRWE) study conducted through the MyMedi.ca platform. The study led by Dr. Hance Clarke, Director of Pain Services at University Health Network (UHN), and has been published in the peer-reviewed Canadian Journal of Pain. The prospective, observational study evaluated patient-reported outcomes among individuals with chronic pain receiving physician-authorized medical cannabis in routine clinical practice. The study reflects a health-care provider-supervised model of medical cannabis use and was supported by multiple clinicians and medical institutions across Canada. The study was led by Dr. Hance Clarke at the University Health Network (UHN) and supported by several other clinicians and medical institutions. The publication reports findings from a cohort of chronic pain patients enrolled in a prospective, observational study assessing patient-reported outcomes over a 24-week follow-up period. Outcomes were measured using validated assessment tools commonly employed in pain and mental health research. The observational results demonstrated statistically significant improvements from baseline in measures of pain interference and pain intensity, as well as improvements in validated measures of anxiety, depressive symptoms, and overall quality of life over the 24-week observation period. While the magnitude of change did not meet established minimal clinically important difference thresholds, the observed directional improvements are consistent with findings reported in existing real-world and clinical literature. The results underscore the need for further placebo-controlled randomized trials to better define optimal dosing strategies, formulations, and routes of administration for medical cannabis.

Avicanna Inc. Commercializes ‘Influid’, a Proprietary Water-soluble technology in the Canadian Market Avicanna Inc. announced the commercialization of patent-pending, water-soluble technology Influid with an initial Viola branded beverage infuser SKU for the Canadian market. Influid Water-soluble Nanotechnology Avicanna’s patent-pending, water-soluble formulation, Influid, utilizes nanotechnology to overcome the challenges of solubility and absorption of cannabinoids due to their hydrophobic properties. Developed by Avicanna’s R&D team, the Self-Nano-Emulsifying Drug Delivery System accelerates the overall speed and absorption of cannabinoids through surface area of contact in the gastrointestinal tract. The formulation demonstrated cannabinoid shelf-life stability and the delivery of a consistent concentration with each drop. “Our research team continues to innovate and deliver new formulations with consumer experience in mind and the company is excited to progress its proprietary water-soluble technology from the lab into initial commercial channels. The limitations of currently available water-soluble formulations are their low drug loading, poor stability, and the difficulty in masking solubilizer flavors, whereas the Influid technology addresses all those gaps,” stated, Dr. Frantz Le Devedec, Executive Vice President of Research and Product Development. Product Launch and Commercial Potential The initial commercialization of the technology was launched under the Viola brand in Ontario as a Water-Soluble THC Infuser. It is anticipated to expand across additional province throughout Canada beginning with New Brunswick as well as medical channels including the Medical Cannabis by Shoppers online platform in late Fourth Quarter 2022. The product has been designed with consideration for the following benefits: Unflavoured, unscented and can be mixed into any cold or hot beverage of preference; Contains 500 mg of THC per bottle which is equivalent to 50 – 10mg THC beverages; Packaged into a portable 20 mL dropper bottle providing easy dosing of 0.5mg of THC per drop; and Serves as a solution for purchasing and dosing limitations related to THC for beverages and edibles. The Influid technology is also available for commercialization and licensing opportunities through Avicanna’s international commercial network. An application for a patent is currently pending with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) on the oral cannabinoid compositions derived from the Influid technology. Avicanna is currently evaluating in-vivo pharmacokinetic profiles of its Influid technology in partnership with Dr. Jibran Khokhar at the University of Guelph. Recent Insider Transactions • Nov 27

Avicanna Files Complete Patent Specifications Relating to A Novel Cannabinoid Formulation for Reducing Incidence of Seizures and Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy Avicanna Inc. announced that it has formalized its provisional patent application, entitled "Methods for Reducing or Eliminating Incidence of Seizures and Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy", for the use of a novel cannabinoid formulation (the "Formulation Candidate") after completion of in-vivo animal studies. The formal application is filed with WIPO by claiming the priority date of US provisional application filed in September 2022 using the Patent Co-operation Treaty (PCT) system. The research findings originated from Avicanna's ongoing multi-level collaboration with leading epilepsy researcher Dr. Peter Carlen from the world-renowned Krembil Research Institute at the University Health Network ("UHN"). Preliminary electrophysiological studies on seizure-induced cortical slices taken from wildtype mouse determined that treatment with the Formulation Candidate produced significant anti-convulsant effects compared to treatment with cannabidiol ("CBD") or tetrahydrocannabinol ("THC") alone. These results, obtained in a well-established in vitro model, suggest that, in addition to anti-convulsant properties, the Formulation Candidate demonstrates strong potential to treat patients diagnosed with intractable forms of epilepsies and those at risk of seizure-induced Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy ("SUDEP"). Studies on the mechanism of action of those cannabinoids in the Formulation Candidate confirmed that the cannabinoids acted as selective 5-HT1A receptor agonists similar to established 5-HT1A receptor agonists in seizure-like events.

The preliminary set of modules cover a range of topics including: The history of medical cannabis use; The endocannabinoid system; Potential therapeutic targets; The current state of evidence; Dosing and titration overview; Case studies and practical use. The Avicenna Academy looks towards expanding offerings in the portal that are reflective of on- going research in the field. Access to the Avicenna Academy will be offered at no cost for HCPs to support necessary education and training. The company is actively collaborating with the medical community to improve this current initiative and is also working toward building indication-specific modules in collaboration with Canadian and international key opinion leaders and experts in their respective fields.
