MindMed Increases Cash on Hand to CAD $205.2m , Closes Financing of CAD $19.5m

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc. (NEO: MMED, OTCQB: MMEDF, DE: MMQ) ("MindMed" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced bought deal private placement offering (the "Offering"). In connection with the Offering, the Company issued 6.0 million units of the Company (the "Units") at a price per Unit of CAD $3.25 (the "Issue Price") for gross proceeds of CAD $19.5 million . The Offering was conducted by Canaccord Genuity Corp. (the "Underwriter") pursuant to an underwriting agreement dated March 9, 2021 between the Company and the Underwriter.

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. Following the closing of the Offering, the Corporation's cash on hand has increased to CAD $205.2 million (USD $162.0 million ). Since the founding of Mind Medicine, Inc. in May 2019 , MindMed has now raised a total of approximately CAD $256.7 million (USD $202.7 million ) 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 & CEO, J.R. Rahn said, "As we march forward with our uplisting plans for Nasdaq and the overall advancement of the MindMed portfolio, we saw it as a timely opportunity to bring in a strategic investor to support MindMed's future growth initiatives. In the years ahead, I believe MindMed will be viewed as much as a digital medicine platform as it is a pharmaceutical drug development company."

The net proceeds of the Offering will be used for further investment in Project Lucy (experiential LSD), the Microdose LSD Program and Project Albert, which is now integrating MindMed's most recent technology acquisition, HealthMode, to build a comprehensive mental health platform to deploy psychedelics medicines, and for general working capital purposes.

Further Details of Offering

In connection with the Offering, the Company issued 6.0 million Units at the Issue Price for gross proceeds of CAD $19.5 million .

Each Unit comprises one subordinate voting share of the Company (each, 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 $4.40 until March 9, 2024 . If, at any time following the date that is four months and one day following the closing of the Offering, the daily volume weighted average trading price of the Subordinate Voting Shares on the Neo Exchange Inc. is greater than CAD $6.90 per Subordinate Voting Share for the preceding five consecutive trading days, the Company may, upon providing written notice to the holders of Warrants, accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to the date that is at least 30 days following the date of such written notice.

The Subordinate Voting Shares and Warrants underlying the Units issued pursuant to the Offering are subject to a hold period of four months and one day following the closing of the Offering.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. The securities being offered have not been, nor will they be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 , as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933 , as amended, and applicable state securities laws.

The Company's common stock will begin trading on a reverse stock split-adjusted basis at the opening of the market on Thursday, May 16, 2024 . Following the reverse stock split, the Company's common stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "SEEL" with the new CUSIP number, 81577F307.

The reverse stock split will reduce the number of authorized shares of the Company's common stock from 400,000,000 shares to 50,000,000 shares and the ownership percentage of each stockholder will remain unchanged other than as a result of fractional shares. In addition, the reverse stock split will apply to the Company's common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Company's outstanding warrants and stock options, with proportionate adjustments to be made to the exercise prices thereof and under the Company's equity incentive plans, as applicable.

Compass Pathways Announces First Quarter 2024 Financial Results and Business Highlights

Cash position of $262.9 million at March 31, 2024
Conference call May 8 at 8:00 am ET (1:00 pm UK)

Compass Pathways plc (Nasdaq: CMPS) ("Compass"), a biotechnology company dedicated to accelerating patient access to evidence-based innovation in mental health, today reported its financial results for the first quarter 2024 and provided an update on recent business progress.

Kabir Nath, Chief Executive Officer, said, "We were pleased to see the positive results from the phase 2 PTSD study, a condition with significant unmet need and limited therapeutic options for the people who live with it. PTSD is a logical extension for COMP360 psilocybin treatment as there is significant overlap in patients living with treatment-resistant depression and PTSD. These strong data enable us to explore the optimal path forward to advance clinical development in PTSD alongside our phase 3 pivotal program in TRD, which is on track for initial data this year. We also continue to prepare for commercialization of COMP360 in TRD if approved by the FDA and have established collaborations with important mental health providers in the US to investigate models for the delivery of COMP360 psilocybin treatment at scale in diverse care settings."
