Regulation A 2020 Subscription Agreement

The securities offered hereby are highly speculative. Investing in shares of Shackelford Pharma Inc., a British Columbian corporation (the “Issuer”), involves significant risks. This investment is suitable only for persons who can afford to lose their entire investment.

The securities offered hereby have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities or blue sky laws and are being offered and sold in reliance on exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and state securities or blue sky laws. Although an offering statement has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), that offering statement does not include the same information that would be included in a registration statement under the Securities Act. The securities have not been approved or disapproved by the SEC, any state securities commission or other regulatory authority, nor have any of the foregoing authorities passed upon the merits of this offering or the adequacy or accuracy of the offering circular or any other materials or information made available to subscriber in connection with this offering. Any representation to the contrary is unlawful.

No sale may be made to persons in this offering who are not “accredited investors” if the aggregate purchase price is more than 10% of the greater of such investors’ annual income or net worth. The Issuer is relying on the representations and warranties set forth by each subscriber in this subscription agreement and the other information provided by each subscriber in connection with this offering to determine compliance with this requirement.

Prospective investors may not treat the contents of the subscription agreement, the offering circular or any of the other materials made available (collectively, the “Offering Materials”) or any prior or subsequent communications from the Issuer or any of its officers, employees or agents (including “testing the waters” materials) as investment, legal or tax advice. In making an investment decision, investors must rely on their own examination of the Issuer and the terms of this offering, including the merits and the risks involved. Each prospective investor should consult the investor’s own counsel, accountant and other professional advisor as to investme nt, legal, tax and other related matters concerning the investor’s proposed investment.

The Issuer reserves the right in its sole discretion and for any reason whatsoever to modify, amend and/or withdraw all or a portion of the offering and/or accept or reject in whole or in part any prospective investment in the securities or to allot to any prospective investor less than the amount of securities such investor desires to purchase.

Except as otherwise indicated, the offering materials speak as of their date. Neither the delivery nor the purchase of the securities shall, under any circumstances, create any implication that there has been no change in the affairs of the Issuer since that date.

This agreement (the “Agreement”) is made as of the date set forth below by and between the undersigned (the “Subscriber”) and the Issuer, and is intended to set forth certain representations, covenants and agreements between subscriber and the Issuer with respect to the offering (the “Offering”) for sale by the Issuer of shares of its voting common shares (the “Shares”) as described in the Issuer’s offering circular dated _________________, 2020 (the “Offering Circular”), a copy of which has been delivered to the Subscriber.

The shares are also referred to herein as the “Securities.
