Upon an event of default, subject to applicable cure, the Government of Canada may exercise a number of remedies, including suspending or terminating funding under the 2023 SIF Agreement, demanding repayment of funding previously received and/or terminating the 2023 SIF Agreement. The funding and any associated conditional repayments are not secured by any assets of Edesa Biotech Research or the Company. The Agreement will expire on the later of December 31, 2042 or the date of the last repayment, unless earlier terminated, subject to certain provisions that extend three (3) years beyond the term or early termination of the 2023 SIF Agreement. Under the October 2023 SIF Agreement the Company recorded grant income of $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively, and $0.5 million and $0.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively, bringing the total recorded under the agreement to $1.8 million.
