Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc. (NEO: MMED), (OTCQB: MMEDF), (DE: MMQ) (“MindMed”) is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced bought deal short form prospectus offering, including the exercise in full of the Underwriters’ over-allotment option (the “Offering”). In connection with the Offering, the Company issued 20,930,000 units of the Company (the “Units”) at a price per Unit of CAD $4.40 (the “Issue Price”) for gross proceeds of approximately CAD $92.1m. The Offering was conducted by Canaccord Genuity Corp. (the “Lead Underwriter”), along with Eight Capital and CIBC Capital Markets (collectively, the “Underwriters”).

As announced on December 14, 2020, MindMed originally entered into an agreement with the Lead Underwriter to raise gross proceeds of CAD $50.0m and agreed to increase the size of the Offering to CAD $80.0m on December 15, 2020 due to outsized investor demand. In connection with the filing of MindMed’s final prospectus on December 31, 2020, CIBC Capital Markets was also added to the offering.

MindMed is a leading psychedelic medicine biotech company that discovers, develops and deploys psychedelic inspired medicines and experiential therapies to address addiction and mental illness. Since the founding of Mind Medicine, Inc. in May 2019, MindMed has now raised a total of approximately CAD $237.2m (USD $183.8m) in investment capital before fundraising and deal expenses, making it one of the leaders in the psychedelic medicine industry in its ability to finance its innovative R&D, a new digital therapeutics division and a growing clinical trial pipeline.

MindMed Co-Founder & Co-CEO, J.R. Rahn said “We are extremely pleased to have the continued support of our Lead Underwriter, Canaccord Genuity, as well as Eight Capital and CIBC Capital Markets as syndicate members. Financing is critical to the fast-growing psychedelic medicine industry as we seek to pioneer a new paradigm and therapeutic asset class for the millions suffering from mental illness and addiction globally.”

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for investment in its digital medicine division, for further investments in its LSD experiential therapy program for anxiety disorders (“Project Lucy”), its development of a non-hallucinogenic version of the psychedelic substance ibogaine to address the opioid crisis (“Project Layla”), and its LSD micro-dosing trials for adult ADHD, as well as for general working capital and corporate purposes.

Further Details of Offering

In connection with the Offering, the Company issued 20,930,000 Units of the Company at the Issue Price for gross proceeds of approximately CAD $92.1m.

Each Unit comprises one subordinate voting share of the Company (a “Subordinate Voting Share”) and one-half of one Subordinate Voting Share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Subordinate Voting Share at an exercise price of CAD $5.75 until January 7, 2024.
