Cybin Goes Public on NEO Exchange

NEO is excited to announce that Cybin Inc. (“Cybin” or the “Company”), a leading Toronto-based biotech and life sciences company focused on psychedelic pharmaceutical therapies, has made its debut on the global public markets today. Cybin is now trading on the NEO Exchange under the symbol NEO:CYBN.

The Company recently closed a CDN$45 million subscription receipt financing in relation to its reverse takeover transaction, which marked the largest subscription receipt financing in the Canadian psychedelic sector. The Company focuses on psychedelic drug development, unique delivery mechanisms, improved novel compounds, and protocols that target psychiatric and neurological conditions.

Supported by a management and advisory team with expertise in the psychedelic, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical sectors, Cybin is working alongside the Canadian Centre For Psychedelic Science to study the safety and efficacy of psilocybin-based microdosing. The Canadian Centre For Psychedelic Science is responsible for some of the first published research on microdosing in Canada.

“Today marks a meaningful milestone for our company, as our shares begin trading on the NEO Exchange under the ticker symbol CYBN,” stated Doug Drysdale, Chief Executive Officer of Cybin. “The NEO Exchange shares our passion for innovation and provides a broad platform for our next stage of growth. Cybin is heading into a very active period with the pending start of a Phase 2 clinical study of sublingual psilocybin for the potential treatment of Major Depressive Disorder. This work will take place in Jamaica with the University of West Indies. Our listing on NEO gives us increased access to capital, enhanced visibility with the investment community and, most importantly, a greater opportunity to bring innovative new treatment options to market.”

“The potential of psychedelic therapies has never been more significant, and we continue to advance these promising potential treatments through clinical development,” continued Drysdale.

Investors can trade shares of NEO:CYBN through their usual investment channels, including discount brokerage platforms and full-service dealers.

“As a leader in a ground-breaking industry, Cybin is a true innovator that brings great hope to our world,” said Jos Schmitt, President and CEO of NEO. “Their values and approach align well with the NEO Exchange as we, too, continue to challenge the status quo and push boundaries to make, in our case, Canadian capital markets better for everyone. We look forward to providing Cybin with greater access to capital to sponsor clinical trials and work towards potential new therapies. The NEO Exchange is honoured to be selected by Cybin as their main board exchange of choice and will continue to deliver tangible and innovative solutions to help them and our other listing partners thrive.”
