Full Description of Material Change

   

Merus Labs International Inc. (the “Company”) announced a change of its auditor from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PWC”) to Deloitte & Touche LLP.

  5.

there has been the following “reportable event” within the meaning assigned under subsection 4.11(1) of National Instrument 51-102.

On December 19, 2011, the Company was formed by the amalgamation of Envoy Capital Group Inc. (“Envoy”) and Merus Labs International Inc. (“Old Merus”). The Company treated Envoy as the acquirer for accounting purposes. In PWC’s view, Old Merus should have been treated as the accounting acquirer. In the Company’s opinion, this difference of opinion between the Company and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP constituted a “disagreement” as defined by the relevant securities legislation and, as a result, constituted a reportable event. The Company’s Audit Committee did not have formal discussions with the former auditor, however, there were discussions with the Audit Committee Chair regarding the disagreement. The former auditor was authorized to respond fully to inquiries by the successor auditor concerning the disagreement. The Change of Auditor package, as prescribed by the relevant securities legislation, has been filed on SEDAR.
