Cybin and Clarmin Announce Closing of CDN$45 Million Oversubscribed Private Placement and Provide Update on RTO

CLARMIN EXPLORATIONS INC. (TSXV: CX.V) and CYBIN CORP. (“CYBIN” or the “Company”), a life sciences company focused on psychedelic pharmaceutical therapies, announce the closing of a private placement offering by the Company (the “Offering) of an aggregate of 60,000,000 subscription receipts (the “Subscription Receipts”) at a price of CDN$0.75 per Subscription Receipt for aggregate gross proceeds of CDN$45 million.

Stifel GMP and Eight Capital (together, with Stifel GMP, the “Co-Lead Agents”) served as co-lead agents on behalf of a syndicate of agents, which included Canaccord Genuity Corp., Haywood Securities Inc. and Echelon Wealth Partners Inc. (together with the Co-Lead Agents, the “Agents”).

“The strong interest we received from distinguished healthcare investors enabled us to exceed our original capital-raising goals. We appreciate the support of investors who share our vision and commitment to developing alternative therapies,” said Doug Drysdale, CYBIN’s Chief Executive Officer. “The potential of psychedelic therapies to treat mental illness and addiction disorders has never been more significant. With this investment, we will continue to advance our robust pipeline of psychedelic-based products through clinical development.”

Summary of the Offering

The Offering was completed in connection with a proposed arm’s length business combination by way of a three-cornered amalgamation (the “Transaction”) pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) to be completed among CYBIN, Clarmin Explorations Inc. (“Clarmin”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Clarmin. The Transaction was previously announced by Clarmin on June 29, 2020. Clarmin and CYBIN intend to apply to delist the common shares in the capital of Clarmin from the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) and apply to the NEO Exchange (the “NEO”) for the listing of the common shares in the capital of the Resulting Issuer (as defined below) upon the completion of the Transaction.

The gross proceeds of the Offering, less 50% of the Agents’ Fees (as defined below) and certain expenses of the Agents, has been deposited in escrow until the satisfaction of certain release conditions, including that all conditions precedent to the Transaction have been met (the “Release Conditions”). Upon the satisfaction of the Release Conditions, each Subscription Receipt will convert into one common share in the capital of CYBIN (a “Cybin Share”) without payment of any additional consideration or further action on the part of the holder thereof. At the effective time of the Transaction, each Cybin Share will be exchanged for one common share in the capital of the issuer (a “Resulting Issuer Common Share”) resulting from the Transaction (the “Resulting Issuer”) (on a post-Clarmin consolidation basis).

In the event that the Release Conditions have not been satisfied by February 16, 2021, or CYBIN advises the Co-Lead Agents or announces to the public that it does not intend to satisfy the Release Conditions or that the Transaction has been terminated, the aggregate issue price of the Subscription Receipts shall be returned to the applicable holders of the Subscription Receipts (net of any applicable withholding taxes), and such Subscription Receipts shall be automatically cancelled and be of no further force and effect.

In connection with the Offering, a cash fee equal to 6% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Offering from non-U.S. resident investors was payable to the Agents, except for certain orders on a president’s list (the “President’s List”) pursuant to which a cash fee of 1.5% was payable (the “Agents’ Cash Fee”). The Agents also received Broker Warrants (“Broker Warrants”) equal to 6.0% of the number of Subscription Receipts issued pursuant to the Offering from non-U.S. resident investors, except for orders on the President’s List pursuant to which no Broker Warrants were issued. Upon and conditional on the satisfaction of the Release Conditions, each Broker Warrant will be exercisable into one common share of the Resulting Issuer (subject to customary adjustments) for a period of 24 months following the date that the Release Conditions are met at an exercise price of CDN$0.75, subject to adjustment in certain customary circumstances. In exchange for certain advisory services provided by the Agents to the Company, the Agents also received an advisory fee of CDN$591,299.91 (together with the Agents’ Cash Fee, the “Agents’ Fees”) and 16,000 warrants on the same terms as the Broker Warrants. The Company has agreed to pay an additional cash fee of CDN$1,180,000 and 2,590,000 warrants on the same terms as the Broker Warrants to certain finders and other advisors of the Company.

All Subscription Receipts issued in connection with the Offering are subject to a statutory hold period in Canada. The Company anticipates that following completion of the Transaction, the Resulting Issuer Common Shares received upon the exchange of Cybin Shares underlying the Subscription Receipts will not be subject to a statutory hold period in Canada.

The Company will use the net proceeds from the Offering to progress the Company’s psychedelic therapies and nutraceutical products, as well as working capital and general corporate purposes.
