Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - June 5, 2023) - Khiron Life Sciences Corp. (TSXV: KHRN) (OTCQB: KHRNF) ("Khiron" or the "Company") announced today that the Company has agreed to a $500,000 non-interesting bearing refundable deposit from 2518542 Alberta Ltd. ("251"), a company controlled by Avonlea-Drewry Holdings Inc., to be secured by all of Khiron's present and after-acquired property pursuant to a general security agreement and a pledge of Khiron's shares in its subsidiaries, Pharmadrug Production GmbH and Zerenia Clinics UK Limited (the "Deposit").

The Deposit is to be advanced to the Company pursuant to the terms and conditions of a letter of intent between, among others, Khiron and 251, whereby Khiron has granted 251 the exclusive right to negotiate the terms and conditions for the possible sale and acquisition of Khiron's European subsidiaries (the "Proposed Transaction"). The completion of the Proposed Transaction is subject to, among other things, the negotiation of a definitive purchase agreement and the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. If the Proposed Transaction is completed, then the full amount of the Deposit will be set off against the aggregate purchase price for the assets. There can be no assurance that the Proposed Transaction will be completed if at all and in the event that such Proposed Transaction is not completed, then the Company will be required to repay the Deposit.

Further details, including the definitive terms of the Proposed Transaction, will be provided by Khiron in a subsequent news release.

Neither TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.
