Vector's proprietary platforms are intended to enable targeted therapeutic delivery to specific anatomical regions.

Vector's lead product is an atomizing device designed to deliver analgesics directly to the surgical field during laparoscopic procedures. Vector is on track to submit a united States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) application by year-end 2025, with market approval anticipated in late Q1 or early Q2 2026. The device is intended to be supplied as a kit with preferred analgesics for laparoscopic surgery, addressing a market of approximately 15 million procedures annually in the united States.
Drug-free pain management platform (product 2)
Vector's second platform utilizes a proprietary combination of multiple electric wavelengths and magnetic fields to manage pain and promote soft tissue repair without pharmaceutical intervention. Target applications include preoperative preparation, postoperative rehabilitation and treatment for patients who are not surgical candidates due to comorbidities. FDA submission is planned for Q3 to Q4 2026.
Smart transdermal delivery system (product 3)
Vector's third platform represents an advanced approach to transdermal drug delivery, combining non-systemic therapeutic administration with intelligent, patient-specific dosing algorithms. FDA submission is targeted for late 2027.
The attached table is a summary of unaudited financial information of Vector as of Aug. 31, 2025.
Pursuant to the letter agreement, the company and Vector will enter into a business combination through which the company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Class A common stock in the capital of Vector from the shareholders of Vector in exchange for the issuance of common shares of the company. To effect the proposed transaction, it is intended that a wholly owned subsidiary of the company will merge with and into Vector with Vector being the surviving entity and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the company. As part of the merger the holders of Vector shares will exchange their Vector shares for company shares on the basis of 10 company shares for each one Vector share (the exchange ratio), at a deemed price per company share equal to 10 cents based on the exchange ratio and the value per equity security of Vector issued in connection with the 2025 summer offering (as defined herein). Following the completion of the transaction, it is intended that Vector (after giving effect to the merger) will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the company and the company will continue the business of Vector.
As part of the transaction, the company intends to change its name to Vector Science and Therapeutics Corp., or such other name as determined by Vector and acceptable to applicable regulators.
Proposed management and board of directors
Upon completion of the transaction, it is anticipated that the board of directors and management of the company will be reconstituted to comprise a majority of directors nominated by Vector, as further set out below. As used herein, resulting issuer refers to the company following the completion of the transaction. It is anticipated that upon completion of the transaction, the resulting issuer will be listed on Tier 2 of the TSX-V as a technology and life science issuer.
Details of financings
In June and July of 2025, Vector completed a non-brokered private placement of 5,409,828 units for a subscription price of $1.00 per unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $5,409,828. Each unit consists of one Vector share and one warrant to acquire a Vector share. Each Vector warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire a Vector share at a subscription price of $2.50 until June 27, 2028. All aforementioned numbers in this paragraph are prior to giving effect to the exchange ratio. For certainty, after giving effect to the transaction and considering the exchange ratio, each Vector warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one common share in the capital of the resulting issuer at an exercise price of 25 cents per share.
