Cybin Corp. (“Cybin”), a mushroom life sciences company focused on psychedelic medicines and nutraceutical products, is pleased to announce that it has entered into an amalgamation agreement dated June 26, 2020 (the “AmalgamationAgreement”) with Clarmin Explorations Inc. (TSX.V: CX) (“Clarmin”) and 2762898 Ontario Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Clarmin. Completion of the transactions contemplated in the Amalgamation Agreement will result in the reverse takeover of Clarmin by Cybin (the “ProposedTransaction”).

To date, Cybin has raised approximately $10,400,000 through an initial financing round and its series A financing round. Cybin, through its wholly-owned division Serenity Life Sciences Inc., has progressed its IP strategy which revolves around psychedelic delivery mechanisms, synthetic compounds, extraction methods, isolation of chemical compounds, new drug formulations and protocol regimens.

As a mushroom life sciences company, Cybin’s mandate is to progress both psychedelic medicines and nutraceutical products derived from fungi, which provide a near term path to revenue.

Summary of the ConcurrentFinancing

In connection with the Proposed Transaction, Cybin plans to complete a “best-efforts” brokered private placement of subscription receipts of Cybin, with a syndicate of agents co-led by Stifel Nicolaus Canada Inc. (“Stifel GMP”) and Eight Capital, to raise a minimum of $14 million (US$10 million) and a maximum of $21 million (US$15 million), with a 15% agents’ option (the “Concurrent Financing”).

“We are delighted by the varying strategic biotech and investment funds, merchant bankers, pharmaceutical and CPG executives, and strategic individual investors who have invested in Cybin to date,” said Paul Glavine, Chief Executive Officer of Cybin. “This is the beginning of a transformational moment in Cybin’s history and we expect to be well positioned to accelerate our strategic growth initiatives.” Mr. Glavine added, “We’re thrilled to receive the support of Stifel GMP and Eight Capital, a strong show of confidence in the long-term potential of the psychedelic sector.”
