The name change was approved by shareholders of Conscience on March 5, 2020, and is being completed in connection with the Conscience's closing of the acquisition of Hashoff LLC ("Hashoff"), the Company's Qualifying Transaction.

Amendment of Share Exchange Agreement
The Company further announced that it has entered into an amendment agreement (the "Amendment") with Hashoff modifying the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement dated December 23, 2019 (the "Share Exchange Agreement"). The Share Exchange Agreement provided that the Company was to make post-closing payments up to USD $1,500,000 (the "Deferred Cash Payments") pursuant to a 30 month deferred payment schedule, payable every 6 months following the closing of the acquisition.
Pursuant to the Amendment, Hashoff has agreed to postpone the effective date of the Deferred Cash Payments to January 1, 2021, such that the first payment will be payable on June 30, 2021, 6 months from the new effective date. The Deferred Cash Payments are dependent on Hashoff meeting the revenue targets set in the Share Exchange Agreement and failure to meet the revenue targets results in deferral and/or reduction of the payments.
In consideration for the postponement of the Deferred Cash Payments, the Company has agreed to reduce the attributable revenue targets by 20% for each 6 month period for the duration of the 30 month period, as set out below:
