CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This AIF, and certain documents incorporated by reference in this AIF, contain forward-looking information and forward-looking statements within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation (“forward-looking statements”). All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this AIF and in documents incorporated by reference in this AIF, including, without limitation, those regarding the Company’s future financial position, business strategy, budgets, research and development, plans and objectives of management for future operations, and any statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words “expect,” “likely”, “may,” “will,” “should,” “intend,” or “anticipate,” “potential,” “proposed,” “estimate” and other similar words, including negative and grammatical variations thereof, or statements that certain events or conditions “may” or “will” happen, or by discussions of strategy, are forward-looking statements.

These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve assumptions, risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual results may differ materially from what is expressed, implied or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Management provides forward-looking statements because it believes they provide useful information to readers when considering their investment objectives and cautions readers that the information may not be appropriate for other purposes. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this AIF and in documents incorporated by reference in this AIF are qualified by these cautionary statements and other cautionary statements or factors contained herein, and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, the Company. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this AIF and the Company assumes no obligation to update or revise them to reflect subsequent information, events or circumstances or otherwise, except as required by law.
The forward-looking statements in this AIF and in documents incorporated by reference in this AIF are based on numerous assumptions regarding the Company’s present and future business strategies and the environment in which the Company will operate in the future, including assumptions regarding business and operating strategies, and the Company’s ability to operate on a profitable basis. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update or release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report, except as may be required by law.

Although the forward-looking statements contained in this AIF are based upon what management currently believes to be reasonable assumptions, the Company cannot assure prospective investors that actual results, performance or achievements will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. In particular, the Company has made assumptions regarding, among other things:
•substantial fluctuation of losses from quarter to quarter and year to year due to numerous external risk factors, and anticipation that we will continue to incur significant losses in the future;
•uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to raise additional funding to support operations;

•the risk of patent-related or other litigation; and
•the risk of unforeseen changes to the laws or regulations in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, the Netherlands, Ireland and other jurisdictions in which the Company operates.
Drug development involves long lead times, is very expensive and involves many variables of uncertainty. Anticipated timelines regarding drug development are based on reasonable assumptions
4

informed by current knowledge and information available to the Company. Every patient treated on future studies can change those assumptions either positively (to indicate a faster timeline to new drug applications and other approvals) or negatively (to indicate a slower timeline to new drug applications and other approvals). This AIF contains certain forward-looking statements regarding anticipated or possible drug development timelines. Such statements are informed by, among other things, regulatory guidelines for developing a drug with safety studies, proof of concept studies, and pivotal studies for new drug application submission and approval, and assumes the success of implementation and results of such studies on timelines indicated as possible by such guidelines, other industry examples, and the Company’s development efforts to date.
In addition to the factors set out above and those identified in this AIF under "Risk Factors", other factors not currently viewed as material could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Although Cybin has attempted to identify important risks and factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors and risks that cause actions, events or results not to be anticipated, estimated or intended. Accordingly, readers should not place any undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
MARKET AND INDUSTRY DATA
This AIF includes market and industry data that has been obtained from third-party sources, including industry publications. The Company believes that the industry data is accurate and that its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, but there is no assurance as to the accuracy or completeness of this data. Third-party sources generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but there is no assurance as to the accuracy or completeness of included information. Although the data is believed to be reliable, the Company has not independently verified any of the data from third-party sources referred to in this AIF or ascertained the underlying economic assumptions relied upon by such sources. The Company does not intend, and undertakes no obligation, to update or revise any such information or data, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as, and to the extent required by, applicable Canadian securities laws.
REGULATORY
The Company’s current business focuses on conducting and sponsoring research and development on psychedelic molecules, including psilocybin, and is focused on developing and commercializing psychedelic-inspired regulated medicines. No product will be commercialized prior to applicable legal or regulatory approval.
The Canadian and United States federal governments regulate drugs through the CDSA (as defined herein) and the CSA (as defined herein), respectively, which place controlled substances in a schedule. Under the CDSA, psilocybin is currently a Schedule III drug under CDSA and a Schedule I drug under the CSA.
In both Canada and the United States, the applicable federal government is responsible for regulating, among other things, the approval, import, sale and marketing of drugs, including any psychedelic substances, whether natural or novel. Health Canada, and the FDA (as defined herein), have not approved psilocybin as a drug for any indication. The Company does not deal with psychedelic substances except indirectly within laboratory and clinical trial settings conducted within approved regulatory frameworks in order to identify and develop potential treatments for medical conditions and, further, does not have
5

any direct or indirect involvement with illegal selling, production or distribution of any substances in jurisdictions in which it operates.
In the EU, the INCB (as defined herein), a United Nations entity, oversees the enforcement of international restrictions on controlled substances. EU legislation specifically addresses the regulation of precursors or substances used in the illicit production of drugs through Regulation (EC) No. 273/2004 and Council Regulation (EC) No. 111/2005. However, the EU does not classify different narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances directly. Instead, the Council Decision 2005/387/JHA allows for a decision that can mandate EU member states to impose national controls on a drug, aligning with INCB standards.
EU member states have agreed to prohibit the use of DMT, and in limited and specific cases, inter alia for scientific or medical purposes, regulate the use of DMT. There are specific regulatory requirements in each specific and relevant EU member state, similar to regulating the specific regulatory requirements for the approval of clinical trials at an EU member state level. It is noteworthy to mention that the EU is planning to adopt a pharmaceutical legislation package.
The key legislation in the UK includes MDA (as defined herein), and the MDR (as defined herein), and, if a product is a “medicinal product”, by the Human Medicines Regulations 2012. In the UK, substances like psilocin and its esters, including psilocybin, are classified as Class A drugs under the MDA and Schedule 1 drugs under the MDR, meaning they are considered highly dangerous and subject to the strictest controls and penalties. Their legal manufacture, production, possession, and supply require a special licence from the UK Home Office. DMT is similarly classified as a Class A and Schedule 1 drug under these regulations. The manufacturing and marketing of “medicinal products” requires additional authorisation and licences from the MHRA (as defined herein).
The Company oversees and monitors compliance with applicable laws in each jurisdiction in which it operates. In addition to the Company’s senior executives and the employees responsible for overseeing compliance, the Company has local counsel engaged in every jurisdiction in which it operates. See “Compliance Program”. Additionally, the Company has received legal opinions or advice in each jurisdiction where it currently operates regarding (a) compliance with applicable regulatory frameworks and (b) potential exposure and implications arising from applicable laws in jurisdictions where the Company has operations or intends to operate.
For these reasons, the Company may be (a) subject to heightened scrutiny by regulators, stock exchanges, clearing agencies and other authorities, (b) susceptible to regulatory changes or other changes in law, and (c) subject to risks related to drug development, among other things. There are a number of risks associated with the business of the Company. See “Risk Factors” herein.
The Company makes no medical, treatment or health benefit claims about the Company’s proposed products. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Health Canada or other similar regulatory authorities have not evaluated claims regarding psilocybin, psychedelic tryptamines, tryptamine derivatives or other psychedelic compounds. The efficacy of such products have not been confirmed by approved research. There is no assurance that the use of psilocybin, psychedelic tryptamines, tryptamine derivatives or other psychedelic compounds can diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or condition. Rigorous scientific research and clinical trials are needed. If the Company cannot obtain the approvals or research necessary to commercialize its business, it may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s performance and operations.

On February 22, 2023, the Company announced a streamlining plan aimed at maximizing the Company’s operating efficiency and to allow the Company to focus on critical clinical trials. The Company released approximately 15% of its workforce that previously held roles that were not of a clinical priority or were not directly involved with any of the Company’s clinical trial initiatives.
On February 28, 2023, the Company provided interim findings from the Company’s ongoing Phase 1/2a clinical trial evaluating CYB003. The findings demonstrated positive observations, including a rapid and short-acting psychedelic response in participants. Participants received single oral doses of CYB003 at 1 milligram (“mg”), 3mg, 8mg, and 10mg, respectively, and all doses were well-tolerated with no serious adverse events reported. Most notably, participants reported meaningful and robust psychedelic effects at the 8mg and 10mg doses, confirming a complete mystical experience was achieved. These interim findings demonstrate that CYB003 was rapid and short acting, had low variability in plasma levels, and reached a psychedelic effect at low doses, while maintaining a safe and well-tolerated therapeutic profile.2
On February 28, 2023, the Company provided an update on its Phase 1 CYB004-E trial evaluating IV DMT in healthy volunteers. Per a protocol amendment to the initial trial design, the Company has established a three-part study to include Part A (IV DMT infusion), Part B (IV DMT bolus + infusion) and Part C (CYB004) in healthy volunteers, which will allow the Company to initiate first-in-human dosing of CYB004 sooner than initially planned. Data from the new Parts B and C of the trial will serve to build a more robust PK and PD model to optimize dose selection and formulation development for future clinical studies. As of February 28, 2023, Part A of the trial evaluating IV DMT in participants was complete, and IV DMT at the evaluated dose ranges was demonstrated to be safe and well-tolerated. The Phase 1 CYB004-E trial has dosed 40 participants in Part A and dosing has commenced in Part B.
2 The material factors and assumption underlying this forward-looking statement are based on anticipated timelines regarding drug development which are in turn based on reasonable assumptions informed by current knowledge and information available to the Company. Such statements are informed by, among other things, regulatory guidelines for developing a drug with safety studies, proof of concept studies, and pivotal studies for new drug application submission and approval, and assumes the success of implementation and results of such studies on timelines indicated as possible by such guidelines, other industry examples, and the Company’s development efforts to date.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
Cybin is a clinical-stage breakthrough neuropsychiatry company on a mission to create safe and effective next-generation therapeutics to address the unmet need for new and innovative treatment options for people who suffer from mental health conditions.
Cybin’s goal of revolutionizing mental healthcare is supported by a network of world-class partners and internationally recognized scientists aimed at progressing proprietary drug discovery platforms, innovative drug delivery systems, novel formulation approaches and treatment regimens. Cybin is currently developing CYB003, a proprietary deuterated psilocin molecule for the treatment of major depressive disorder and CYB004, a proprietary deuterated DMT molecule for generalized anxiety disorder and has a research pipeline of investigational psychedelic-based compounds.
27

Headquartered in Canada and founded in 2019, Cybin is operational in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Ireland. For Company updates and to learn more about Cybin, visit www.cybin.com or follow the Company on X, LinkedIn, YouTube and Instagram.
Advancement of Mental Healthcare
The Company is conducting research and development of next-generation neuropsychiatry therapeutics that aim to address unmet needs in the treatment of mental health conditions. This comprehensive development work is predicated on structural modifications of known tryptamine and phenethylamine derivatives to improve their pharmacokinetic properties while maintaining their respective pharmacology. Across its extensive research and development programs, Cybin is evaluating a wide array of novel, synthetic active pharmaceutical ingredients (“API”) intended to be delivered through innovative drug delivery systems including via inhalation, via intravenous (“IV”), and intramuscular, or subcutaneous.4
The Company intends to apply for regulatory approval for therapies targeting indications such as MDD, alcohol use disorder, GAD and potentially other various mental health conditions.5 The Company is also developing compounds that may have the potential to address neuroinflammation, central nervous system (“CNS”) disorders, and psychiatric disorders.6
Further, over the next 12-month period, the Company will continue to seek to establish strategic partnerships that advance the Company’s scientific research and intellectual property (“IP”) for new novel compounds and novel delivery mechanisms.7 The Company will also continue to sponsor select internal and partner-related clinical trials that advance the understanding of safety and efficacy for various psychedelic agents that target mental health conditions.8
Stage of Development of Principal Products
Like most life sciences and pharmaceutical companies, the Company’s neuropsychiatry business is focused on research and development and any future revenue will be dependent on a number of factors, including the outcome of the Company’s sponsored clinical trials and the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals.
In order to establish its business operations, the Company intends to leverage the extensive professional network of its management to build working partnerships with (i) existing producers of products based in Canada, the United States, the European Union and the United Kingdom to source the pharmaceutical products the Company intends to develop and distribute under its specific brand, and (ii) to explore options to facilitate the development and distribution and sale of its specific brand of pharmaceutical products.9

Prescription drugs are classified and regulated under the federal Food and Drugs Act (Canada) (the “Canadian FDA”). Labeling, marketing and selling of any prescription drug must comply with the Canadian FDA, including by ensuring that the Company’s products are not packaged or marketed in a manner that is misleading or deceptive to a consumer. See “Regulatory Environment – Canada”.
In the United States, foods, drugs and dietary supplements are subject to extensive regulation. The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the “FFDCA”) and other federal and state statutes and regulations govern, among other things, the research, development, testing, manufacturing, storage, recordkeeping, approval, labeling, promotion and marketing, distribution, post-approval monitoring and reporting, sampling, and import and export of pharmaceutical products. The Company must ensure that all promotion and marketing, distribution, and labeling of any pharmaceutical products comply with the U.S. regulations, including the FFDCA and the FDA. See “Regulatory Environment – United States”.
On November 4, 2021, the Company announced that it had been granted a Schedule I manufacturing license from the DEA. The DEA license is for the Company’s research lab in the Boston area. The license allows the Company to further become a hub for innovation and drug discovery. Previously, the Company conducted much of its research and development work through globally licensed research organizations in the U.S., Canada, and the UK, and through certain in-house capabilities. With the DEA license, the Company expanded its internal R&D capabilities to support innovative drug discovery and delivery involving Schedule I compounds.
On March 13, 2024, the Company announced that it had been granted BTD by the FDA in respect of CYB003. The BTD provides an expedited review pathway, as well as increased access to FDA guidance on trial design, which has the potential to significantly reduce drug development timelines. The designation includes all “fast track” program features, as well as more intensive FDA guidance and discussion of the CYB003 development program, including planned clinical trials and plans for expediting the manufacturing development strategy.
Non-Revenue Generating Projects 10
The Company currently has three significant projects, which have not yet generated revenue:
a.Deuterated Psilocin Program (CYB003)
b.Deuterated Dimethyltryptamine Program (CYB004)
c.Phenethylamine Derivatives Program (CYB005)
The Company was previously exploring a fourth program, the Technology Program; however, in March 2025, the Company concluded that it would no longer be progressing with this program in order to prioritize the progression of its core clinical development programs.
The Company has developed EMBARK, a psychological support model that integrates leading clinical approaches to promote supportive healing with pharmacological interventions for neuropsychiatry. EMBARK’s six clinical domains (E xistential-Spiritual, M indfulness, B ody Aware, A ffective-Cognitive, R elational, K eeping Momentum) represent the broad spectrum of ways in which therapeutic benefits may arise in treatment and the equally broad training needed to prepare therapists to support them all. The Company launched its EMBARK training program in June 2021, which prepares facilitators to work within all of these domains, while inviting facilitators to bring in their own therapeutic training and
10 All quarter references in this section are based on calendar year-end.
29

expertise in a flexible, yet structured way. The EMBARK curriculum additionally emphasizes trauma-informed, culturally competent, and ethically rigorous care. On April 12, 2023, the Company announced the launch of EMBARK Open Access, a free online foundational training course for facilitation. EMBARK Open Access is the first and only free massive open online course that offers foundational facilitation training for healthcare professionals and people interested in offering psychological support. On July 12, 2023, the Company announced that it has commenced the development of a streamlined, scalable version of its EMBARK Training Program, known as EMBARK CT, which is designed for individuals with existing knowledge, skills, and experience in facilitation. The EMBARK CT training program is expected to enable the Company to effectively screen, qualify, and train facilitators on a multi-site, international level, to provide support and in-person monitoring for study participants receiving the Company’s investigational therapeutics in larger pivotal trials.
The following is a description of each program, including a description of the Company’s plan for such programs, the status of the objectives related to the Company’s plan for such program and anticipated expenditures to advance the program to the next stage of pipeline development.
The allocation of capital towards the Company’s ongoing projects and programs is largely dependent on the success, or difficulties encountered, in any particular portion of the process and therefore the time involved in completing it; in turn the time and costs associated with completing each step are highly dependent on the incremental results of each step and the results of other programs, and the Company’s need to be flexible to rapidly reallocate capital to projects whose results show the greatest potential. As such, it is difficult for the Company to anticipate the timing and costs associated with taking the projects to their next planned stage, and the Company cannot make assurances that the estimates reflected in this AIF will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated. Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to put undue reliance on the estimates reflected in this AIF.
Moreover, identifying the timing and costs of such projects beyond their immediate next steps go to the core differentiating factors with respect to the Company and its competitors. The disclosure of prospective costs and timing other than as already disclosed by the Company would negatively impact shareholder value and undermine the Company’s proprietary technology. In keeping with pharmaceutical industry practice, it is the Company’s policy to disclose these details in conjunction with its financial statements, and to publicly disclose published patent applications, published scientific papers, scientific symposia and the attainment of key milestones only. In addition, the premature disclosure of proprietary data would have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s patent and other intellectual property rights and could result in the breach of confidentiality obligations.
About the Deuterated Psilocin Program (CYB003)
The Company has been investigating the development of short-acting tryptamines with the aim of creating clinical development candidates, utilizing (i) the chemical modification of tryptamine derivatives through the selective substitution of hydrogen atoms with deuterium (i.e. deuteration); and (ii) the combination of such deuterated tryptamine derivative molecules with selected drug delivery methods, including but not limited to oral, inhalation methods, IV and intramuscular delivery.
30

The Company’s lead program, CYB003, is an orally delivered deuterated psilocin molecule that has been granted FDA BTD for the adjunctive treatment of MDD. CYB003 aims to address the limitations of oral psilocin, including side effects, scalability and accessibility of treatment.
The Company completed its CYB003 IND-enabling preclinical studies and Chemistry, Manufacturing and Control (“CMC”) development, including the production of clinical materials required for clinical trials, in the second quarter of calendar 2022. In the same period, the Company submitted an IND application to the FDA and received a “may proceed letter” and IND application clearance from the FDA as well as IRB approval in the U.S. to commence its first-in-human Phase 1/2a study of CYB003 in participants with moderate to severe MDD. The Company had engaged Clinilabs, a full-service contract research organization with deep expertise in central nervous system drug development, to carry out the Phase 1/2a clinical trial of CYB003.
About the Completed CYB003 Phase 1/2a Clinical Trial
The Phase 1/2a trial was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating CYB003 in participants with moderate to severe MDD and in healthy volunteers. Per a protocol amendment to the initial Phase 1/2a study design that was announced on February 28, 2023, the study introduced healthy volunteers for the lower (sub-therapeutic) dose cohorts and added a bioequivalence cohort to facilitate the transition to pivotal studies. Healthy volunteers received two administrations (placebo/active and active/active) one week apart, and measures of pharmacological effect were assessed after each dose. Participants with MDD received two administrations (placebo/active and active/active) three weeks apart and response/remission were assessed three weeks after each dose. MDD participants in the trial that were being treated with antidepressants were allowed to remain on their antidepressant medication.
The study investigated the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, and pharmacological effect of ascending oral doses of CYB003. In participants with MDD, the trial evaluated rapid onset of antidepressant effect on the day of dosing, using MADRS, and evaluated the incremental benefit of a second dose of CYB003 when administered at Week 3. The study included an optional period of assessment to evaluate the durability of treatment effect out to 12 months. The study is listed on ClinicalTrials.gov under Identifier: NCT05385783.
On August 30, 2022, the Company announced that the first two participants had been dosed in the Phase 1/2a study.
On February 28, 2023, the Company announced positive interim safety and pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics data from the Phase 1/2a study of CYB003. Interim findings showed that CYB003 exhibited rapid, short-acting effects, low variability in plasma levels, and achieved a psychedelic effect at low doses. At the 8mg and 10mg dose levels, most of the participants reported robust and meaningful psychedelic effects, confirming a complete mystical experience was achieved. All doses evaluated (single oral doses of CYB003 up to 10mg) were well-tolerated with no serious adverse events reported.
On July 24, 2023, the Company announced that it had completed dosing in Cohort 5 of the Phase 2a portion of the study with no serious adverse events or other adverse events that may preclude continued
31

dosing, with recruitment underway for Cohort 6. The Phase 2a trial, consisting of completed Cohorts 4 and 5 as of the date of the announcement, evaluated two 12mg doses of CYB003. On August 2, 2023, the Company announced that it had initiated dosing in Cohort 6, the final cohort of the CYB003 Phase 2a study.
On September 21, 2023, the Company announced that it had completed enrollment in its Phase 2a study of CYB003, its proprietary deuterated psilocin molecule program being developed for the potential treatment of MDD. All participants in the sixth, and final, cohort received at least one dose (placebo or 16mg of CYB003) with several second doses already administered, and no serious adverse events observed in participants. As of that date, CYB003 demonstrated a favorable safety and tolerability profile at all doses evaluated in the five completed cohorts (1mg, 3mg, 8mg, 10mg, and 12mg).
On October 3, 2023, the Company announced that it had completed dosing in Cohort 6 of its Phase 2a study of CYB003. The following doses were evaluated in the six cohorts that comprised the Phase 2a study: 1mg, 3mg, 8mg, 10mg, 12mg, and 16mg. As of that date, CYB003 has been shown to be safe and tolerable at all doses evaluated with no serious adverse events or discontinuations due to adverse events having been observed in the final dose cohort.
On October 31, 2023, the Company announced Phase 2a interim results for CYB003, its proprietary deuterated psilocin molecule, demonstrating a rapid, robust and statistically significant reduction in symptoms of depression three weeks following a single 12mg dose compared to placebo, in participants with moderate to severe MDD. At the 3-week primary efficacy endpoint, the reduction in MDD symptoms, defined as change from baseline in the MADRS total score, was superior in participants assigned to CYB003 compared to the participants who received placebo by 14.08 points (p=0.0005, Cohen’s d=2.15).
On November 30, 2023, the Company announced positive Phase 2a topline results for CYB003, showing rapid and robust improvements in symptoms of depression after single doses of CYB003, with an average 13.75 point difference in MADRS score reduction between CYB003 and placebo which was statistically significant at 3 weeks (p<0.0001). The study also demonstrated a clear incremental benefit of a second dose, with a further 5.8 point improvement on the MADRS total score with a second dose of CYB003 (12mg) at 6 weeks, and 79% of patients were in remission from depression at 6 weeks after two doses of CYB003 (12mg). CYB003 exhibited a favorable safety and tolerability profile with no treatment-related serious adverse events at 12mg and 16mg doses.
On March 13, 2024, the Company announced that the FDA had granted BTD to its CYB003 program for the adjunctive treatment of MDD. The BTD provides an expedited review pathway, as well as increased access to FDA guidance on trial design, with the potential to reduce drug development timelines. On March 13, 2024, the Company also reported positive four-month durability data from the Phase 2a study of CYB003 in MDD. These results showed robust, sustained and statistically significant improvements in depression symptoms at four months with two doses of CYB003 (12mg or 16mg):
32

•Average mean reduction from baseline in the MADRS total score across 2 cohorts was approximately 22 points from baseline in both dosing cohorts.
•60% of patients on 12 mg and 75% on 16 mg were in remission from depression following 2 doses (MADRS score </= 10).
On August 13, 2024, the Company announced that it held a Type B Initial Comprehensive Breakthrough Therapy Meeting with the FDA. Further to recent industry discussions around the subject of functional unblinding, the Company plans to implement multiple measures to attempt to mitigate the risk of functional unblinding in its pivotal study program, as follows:
•the pivotal study program will include a study with a three-arm design with a high dose, mid-dose, and placebo arm. Patients will not know if they received the therapeutic high dose or the sub therapeutic mid-dose, mitigating the unblinding to an extent and addressing potential expectancy bias;
•the studies will utilize remote, independent, blinded raters who will not have any information on the dose received or the participant’s dosing experience;
•the reporting of effects during the dosing session will be fire-walled to ensure that the study team stays blinded;
•the studies will recruit participants who are largely psychedelic naïve to reduce the impact of expectancy bias; and
•the studies will assess long-term efficacy data points up to one year, to outlast any potential expectancy effects.
In addition, the studies will include manual and real time artificial intelligence screening of monitoring sessions to ensure monitor fidelity and patient safety.
On November 18, 2024, the Company reported positive Phase 2 data for CYB003, demonstrating 12-month efficacy in treating MDD. At 12 months after two 16 mg doses, 100% of participants were responsive to treatment and 71% of participants were in remission. The mean change from baseline in MADRS was approximately -23 points at 12 months after two 16 mg doses. CYB003 demonstrated an excellent safety and tolerability profile. No new adverse events were reported in the 12-month follow up, including no reports of suicidality.
About the Phase 3 PARADIGM Pivotal Program
The Company’s Phase 3 program comprises three pivotal efficacy studies as outlined below. Dosing is underway in APPROACH, the first pivotal study.
Pivotal study 1: APPROACH TM (A P hase III, P lacebo-C ontrolled, R andomized, Double-Blind Trial of O ral Doses of CYB003 to A ssess C ombined Safety and Efficacy in H umans with Major Depressive Disorder) (“APPROACH”).
33

•Participants (n=220) will be randomized 1:1 to receive either 16 mg of CYB003 (n=110) or inactive placebo (n=110). Each study arm will evaluate a two-dose regimen, with doses administered three weeks apart. The study will enroll patients suffering from moderate to severe MDD (MADRS≥24) who are on a stable dose of antidepressant medication but are responding inadequately.
•The primary endpoint will be change in depressive symptoms as measured by change in MADRS from baseline at six weeks after the first dose.
APPROACH will enroll participants at approximately 45 clinical sites across the U.S.
Pivotal study 2: EMBRACE TM (An E fficacy and Safety, Phase III, M ulti-center, Double-B lind, R andomized Controlled Study Comparing 2 A ctive and 1 Inactive Oral Doses of C YB003 in E ligible Participants with Major Depressive Disorder) (“EMBRACE”).
•Participants (n=330) will be randomized 1:1:1 to receive 16 mg of CYB003 (n=110), 8 mg of CYB003 (n=110), or inactive placebo (n=110). Each arm will evaluate a two-dose regimen, with doses administered three weeks apart. The study will enroll patients suffering from moderate to severe MDD (MADRS≥24) who are on a stable dose of antidepressant medication but are responding inadequately.
•The primary endpoint will be change in depressive symptoms as measured by change in MADRS from baseline at six weeks after the first dose.
EMBRACE is expected to enroll at approximately 60 clinical sites, with minimal site overlap with the APPROACH study.
Pivotal study 3: EXTEND (A Phase III Open Label Exten sion Study with Optional Additional Doses of CYB003 to Assess the Safety and Long-term Efficacy in Participants With Major D epressive Disorder) (“EXTEND”).
•Participants from APPROACH and EMBRACE will roll over into EXTEND (up to n=550) after the completion of the 12-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled treatment periods. During EXTEND, all participants who did not respond to treatment in the APPROACH and EMBRACE studies or who relapse during the EXTEND study will be eligible to receive an additional two doses of CYB003 (16 mg) administered three weeks apart. Participants who do not respond to these two doses or relapse again will be eligible to receive an additional single 16 mg dose of CYB003.
Across all three studies, raters will be remote, independent, and blinded with no information on the dose received or the participant’s dosing experience. Effects during the dosing session will be firewalled to ensure that the study team stays blinded.

The Company intends to continue funding the Deuterated Psilocin (CYB003) Program.
The Company intends to complete future clinical trials for this program in the U.S., Canada, and/or Europe.
About the Deuterated Dimethyltryptamine Program
The Company’s proprietary dDMT program CYB004 is being developed as an intermittent treatment with the potential for less invasive, more convenient and patient-friendly dosing methods for the potential treatment of GAD. A single IM dose is expected to result in acute psychedelic effects lasting an average of 90 minutes.
Cybin has leveraged clinical data from its completed DMT and dDMT trials, which collectively form one of the most advanced and extensive DMT/dDMT data portfolio in the psychedelic drug development sector, to inform and optimize the development of the CYB004 program. To date, Cybin has completed five clinical trials across four molecules: CYB004 (IV dDMT), SPL028 (IV/IM dDMT), SPL026 (IV/IM DMT), and DMT, demonstrating proof-of-concept in potentially treating depression, supporting the development of dDMT for the potential treatment of anxiety disorders, and providing important dosing insights.
Key findings from these completed studies are as follows:
•Phase 2a safety and efficacy data for SPL026 (IV DMT) in 34 participants with MDD, demonstrating a clinically relevant and statistically significant reduction in depression symptoms at two weeks after dosing (-7.4 point difference in MADRS between SPL026 and placebo). Durable antidepressant response and remission rates were observed at six months. Among

18 The Company had previously estimated that its spending to complete this milestone would be $32,680. Anticipated timing and spending regarding drug development is based on reasonable assumptions informed by current knowledge and information available to the Company. Such statements are informed by, among other things, regulatory guidelines for developing a drug with safety studies, proof of concept studies, and pivotal studies for new drug application submission and approval, and assumes the success of implementation and results of such studies on timelines indicated as possible by such guidelines, other industry examples, and the Company’s development efforts to date.

participants who had achieved remission within three months with SPL026, 64% sustained remission to six months.
•Phase 1 study evaluating IM SPL026 supporting IM administration for patient-friendly dosing. The study demonstrated that IM DMT is well-tolerated and generates a breakthrough psychedelic experience lasting approximately 45 minutes.
•Phase 1 study evaluating IM SPL028 supporting IM administration for patient-friendly dosing. The completed Phase 1 study of IV/IM SPL028 in healthy volunteers showed that SPL028 is safe and well-tolerated, and demonstrated that IM dosing of SPL028 produced robust psychedelic effects lasting a short duration (average approximately 90 minutes) in the majority of subjects.
•Phase 1b study evaluating the safety and efficacy of SPL026 in conjunction with SSRIs in 17 participants with MDD, demonstrating no relevant drug-drug interactions, a favorable safety profile and enhanced efficacy when SPL026 was administered with SSRIs, and a 92% remission rate at 4 weeks in the DMT + SSRI combination cohort (n=12).
•Phase 1 results for IV CYB004 demonstrated robust and rapid-onset psychedelic effects at lower doses compared to native DMT, suggesting potential as a short-acting, scalable treatment.
Exploratory analysis of the Phase 2a and Phase 1b data for SPL026 also shows significant improvements in symptoms of anxiety, as measured using the State Trait Anxiety Inventory – Trait version (STAI-T), with a 23 point improvement from baseline at the two week endpoint, in the DMT+ SSRI combination group.
The Company is currently advancing CYB004, a deuterated version of DMT, for the potential treatment of GAD. DMT activates the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor, which is believed to mediate the potential therapeutic effects of DMT. In its regular form, DMT is an unstable molecule rapidly metabolized in the body, which significantly reduces its bioavailability. CYB004, as a deuterated molecule, has the potential to overcome the therapeutic limitations of native DMT. To date, CYB004 has demonstrated robust and rapid-onset psychedelic effects at lower doses compared to native DMT, suggesting potential as a short-acting, scalable treatment. Additionally, learnings from Phase 1 studies of IM SPL028 have supported IM administration as a viable dosing method for deuterated DMT, suggesting the potential for CYB004 to offer more convenient and patient-friendly dosing methods.
CYB004 is secured by a U.S. composition of matter patent with protection through 2041. The patent covers a range of deuteration forms of DMT and protects CYB004 as a putative new chemical entity.
On June 7, 2022, the Company announced it had entered into an agreement to acquire a Phase 1 DMT study from Entheon Biomedical Corp. (“Entheon”) to accelerate the clinical development path for CYB004. On July 11, 2022, the Company announced that the Asset Acquisition was completed. The Phase 1 study, previously identified as EBRX-101 and now named CYB004-E, was conducted in the Netherlands. Entheon acted as external consultants to the Company for approximately 10 months after the Asset Acquisition.
On January 12, 2023, the Company announced that it has selected GAD as the target indication for its proprietary deuterated DMT molecule, CYB004.

About the Phase 1 CYB004-E DMT Study
The Phase 1 trial was a three-part study evaluating the safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of escalating doses of DMT and CYB004 in healthy volunteers. The three-part study design was established in a protocol amendment to the initial study design, allowing the Company to commence first-in-human dosing of CYB004 sooner than initially planned. The study provided essential safety and dosing optimization data informing the clinical path forward for CYB004. The CYB004-E study was conducted at the Centre for Human Drug Research in the Netherlands and is one of the largest Phase 1 DMT clinical trials to date.
On November 10, 2022, the Company announced that its CYB004-E Phase 1 trial evaluating IV DMT completed dosing for four out of five cohorts and that the Safety Review Committee had confirmed no safety issues.
On February 1, 2023, the Company announced that it had received approval from an independent ethics committee in the Netherlands to initiate first-in-human dosing of CYB004 through a protocol amendment to its ongoing Phase 1 CYB004-E study.
On February 28, 2023, the Company announced a protocol amendment to the initial Phase 1 study design that would allow the Company to initiate first-in-human dosing of CYB004 sooner than initially planned. Per the protocol amendment, Cybin established a three-part study to include Part A (IV DMT infusion), Part B (IV DMT bolus + infusion) and Part C (IV CYB004 bolus + infusion) in healthy volunteers. The Company was able to rely upon completed preclinical data to gain regulatory authorization to add CYB004 to the CYB004-E DMT Study. The Company also announced confirmatory data from Part A, the single ascending dose portion of the CYB004-E study, which assessed a continuous IV DMT infusion. The Part A data showed a dose-proportional increase in exposure and dose-related increase in behavioral measures of subjective psychedelic experience with IV DMT. IV DMT was also well-tolerated with no safety issues and no serious adverse events within the dose range evaluated.
On May 9, 2023, the Company announced that it had completed dosing for the last subject in Part B of the Phase 1 CYB004-E trial.
On May 24, 2023, the Company announced that it had initiated first-in-human dosing of CYB004 in Part C of the Phase 1 CYB004-E trial.
On January 8, 2024, the Company announced positive topline results from its Phase 1 studies of its proprietary deuterated DMT molecules, CYB004 and SPL028.
•The Phase 1 CYB004 study results showed that IV CYB004 demonstrated robust and rapid-onset psychedelic effects at lower doses compared to native DMT. These psychedelic effects were rapid in onset when administered as an IV bolus over five minutes and persisted for about 40 minutes after the bolus without the need for an extended infusion.
•The Phase 1 SPL028 study identified an IM dose of SPL028 that resulted in a breakthrough psychedelic experience, with a total duration ranging from 55 to 120 minutes.
38

•Both CYB004 (IV) and SPL028 (IM and IV) were well-tolerated with no serious adverse events, and the majority of adverse events were mild to moderate and self-limiting.
On January 23, 2024, the Company announced that it had received FDA clearance to initiate a Phase 2 study of CYB004 in GAD.
On March 15, 2024, the Company announced that it had initiated a Phase 2 study of IM CYB004 in participants with moderate to severe GAD.
About the Phase 2 CYB004 Study in GAD
The CYB004-002 Phase 2 study is a randomized, double-blind study which will evaluate the safety and efficacy of CYB004 in participants with moderate to severe GAD (GAD-7 score ≥10), with concomitant antidepressant/anxiolytic treatment and co-morbid depression allowed. The study will recruit approximately 36 participants, who will be randomized in a double-blind manner, into two groups. The first group will receive two IM doses of CYB004, three weeks apart, while the second group will receive two low-dose control administrations of sub-therapeutic doses of CYB004. The primary endpoint is a change in the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale score from baseline at six weeks following the second dose. Other endpoints include the HAM-D (Hamilton Depression Rating Scale), safety assessments, MEQ30 (psychedelic experience assessment) and EQ-5D-5L (quality of life assessment). Participants will be followed for up to a year. Results from this study are expected to provide proof of concept for CYB004’s efficacy in GAD, the time to onset of effects, as well as durability of effects to one year.
The Company spent approximately $13,345 on its Deuterated Dimethyltryptamine Program during the year ended March 31, 2025, related to the milestones detailed below.
As the Company continues to progress its Deuterated Dimethyltryptamine Program, additional milestones related to its clinical development have been identified. The Company intends to:
•Complete the Phase 2 GAD study, around mid-year 2025.20
The Company expects to spend approximately $10,744 21 to complete the Phase 2 GAD study around mid-year 2025 of which approximately $6,940 was spent during the year ended March 31, 2025 and approximately $58 was spent during the financial year ended March 31, 2024, resulting in an approximate remaining spend as of March 31, 2025 of $3,746 by around mid-year 2025.22
20 The Company has updated this milestone. The Company had previously expected it would complete this milestone by the first half of 2025. There was a minor change in anticipated timing due to updates to the study. Anticipated spending and timelines regarding drug development are based on reasonable assumptions informed by current knowledge and information available to the Company. See also footnote 11.
21 The Company had previously estimated that its spending to complete this milestone would be $10,014. Anticipated timing and spending regarding drug development is based on reasonable assumptions informed by current knowledge and information available to the Company.

The Company intends to continue funding the Deuterated Dimethyltryptamine (CYB004) Program.
About the Phenethylamine Derivatives Program (CYB005)
The Company’s Phenethylamine Derivatives Program (CYB005) is focused on the development of therapeutic phenethylamine derivatives. Multiple phenethylamines have been shown to have psychedelic properties and several, such as MDMA, have shown promise as therapeutics. Cybin’s proprietary approach to phenethylamines modification with novel chemistry, proprietary formulations and directed delivery systems has yielded a number of novel, IP-protected leads with significant therapeutic potential. Several compounds are now being further studied both in vitro and in vivo for selection of the best development candidates, including evaluating the benefits of sub-psychedelic, chronic dosing. The Company is investigating the effects of phenethylamine derivatives on neuroplasticity, and for the potential treatment of CNS disorders, neuroinflammation and other neurological conditions.23 The Company is investigating novel molecules within the CYB005 program at non-hallucinogenic doses for a range of CNS disorders. In addition, the Company is continuing to explore non-hallucinogenic neuroplastogens within its broader discovery pipeline, as well as targeted serotonin 5-HT1A and 5-HT2C receptor agonists.24
In order to assess the feasibility and viability of these phenethylamine derivatives entering clinical studies, the Company has and will continue to contract with reputable and licensed third-party vendors to undertake extensive preclinical characterization of target molecules on the Company’s behalf. These activities include, but are not limited to: the synthesis of such molecules as API at laboratory scale, the development and optimization of production processes for such APIs, the development of stable formulations utilizing these APIs, the development and validation of analytical methods for such formulations, the scale up of API production processes beyond laboratory scale to deliver Good Laboratory Practice (“GLP”) and Good Manufacturing Practices (“GMP”) material suitable for entry into animal and human studies, studies of the stability of such formulations suitable for human studies, the development of Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls to meet Current Good Manufacturing Practices (“cGMP”).
23 This statement is based on the following material factors and assumptions: (a) the Company assumes it will enter into a contract with a licensed third-party vendor to undertake extensive preclinical characterization of target molecules on the Company’s behalf; (b) the Company anticipates to complete a number of animal models and the completion of ADME profiles; (c) the Company assumes to enter into third party agreements in order to complete a range of additional preclinical programs including but not limited to dose-ranging studies in multiple animal species, toxicity studies in multiple animal species, genotoxicity studies, teratogenicity studies, along with neuropharmacological, pulmonary, and cardiovascular profiling before the final selection of drug candidates for entry into human trials; and (d) obtain an IND and/or a CTA to enter into clinical trials. As of the date hereof, it has not yet completed the aforementioned items. Such statements are informed by, among other things, regulatory guidelines for developing a drug with safety studies, proof of concept studies, and pivotal studies for new drug application submission and approval, and assumes the success of implementation and results of such studies on timelines indicated as possible by such guidelines, other industry examples, and the Company’s development efforts to date.
24 See footnotes 11 and 23.
40

In addition, utilizing the expertise of selected third parties, the Company intends to oversee the study of the pharmacokinetic profiles of its formulations in a number of animal models and the completion of ADME profiles. Further, the Company’s licensed third party vendors will be responsible for completing a range of additional preclinical programs including, but not limited to, dose-ranging studies in multiple animal species, toxicity studies in multiple animal species, genotoxicity studies, along with neuropharmacological, pulmonary, and cardiovascular profiling, before the final selection of drug candidates for entry into human trials.
The Company intends to complete these studies, and collect further relevant safety and toxicity data, prior to the filing for any IND application with the FDA, a CTA with Health Canada, or other similar application with regulatory bodies in other jurisdictions.
The Company spent approximately $97 on its preclinical Phenethylamine Derivatives Program during the twelve months ended March 31, 2025.
The Company is currently identifying a viable drug candidate and completing its assessment of the potential path forward for this candidate, including whether it will be developed internally or by way of potential third party partners. The Company anticipates that its phenethylamine program may deliver a drug candidate suitable for entry into clinical studies by Q1 2026.25
The Company expects to spend approximately $1,113 26 to complete preclinical development of a phenethylamine drug candidate by Q1 2026,27 of which approximately $97 was spent in the year ended March 31, 2025, approximately $83 was spent during the twelve months ended March 31, 2024, and approximately $782 was spent during the financial year ended March 31, 2023 resulting in an approximate remaining spend as of March 31, 2025 of $151. The Company intends to continue funding the Phenethylamine Derivatives Program (CYB005) Program.
Technology Programs
The Company has historically had two technology programs (a) Digital Therapy Platform which was intended to support patients undergoing psychedelic therapies to memorialize the learning from their treatment sessions and to assist with the integration of such learnings into the patient’s psychotherapy program; and (b) Kernel Collaboration to evaluate the use of wearable neuroimaging technology during
25 The Company has updated the anticipated timeline for completion of this milestone. The Company had previously expected it would complete this milestone in Q4 2024. Due to the Company prioritizing the progression of its Deuterated Psilocin Program and Deuterated Dimethyltryptamine Program, it now expects to complete preclinical development of a phenethylamine drug candidate in Q1 2026. See also footnote 11.
26 Reflects actual spend during the financial year ended March 31, 2024, the year ended March 31, 2025, and expected spend during the period from April 1, 2025 until the achievement of preclinical development of a phenethylamine drug candidate by Q1 2026. The Company had previously estimated that its spending to complete this milestone would be $900. Anticipated timing and spending regarding drug development is based on reasonable assumptions informed by current knowledge and information available to the Company. Such statements are informed by, among other things, regulatory guidelines for developing a drug with safety studies, proof of concept studies, and pivotal studies for new drug application submission and approval, and assumes the success of implementation and results of such studies on timelines indicated as possible by such guidelines, other industry examples, and the Company’s development efforts to date.

psychedelic therapy. In March 2025, the Company decided to not proceed with its technology programs in order to prioritize the progression of its clinical development programs. The Company had previously indicated that it was evaluating the path forward for both the Digital Therapy Platform and the Kernel Collaboration. The Company no longer expects to complete the technology programs and is expecting to spend $NIL on these programs.
Relationships with Third Parties
The Company’s research and development of its psychedelic pharmaceutical products is conducted by way of licensed partners. The Company also intends to sponsor clinical and other studies at various clinical trial sites.
Clinilabs Drug Development Corporation
On April 21, 2022, the Company announced that it had partnered with Clinilabs, a global, full-service contract research organization with deep expertise in central nervous system drug development, to carry out the Company’s Phase 1/2a clinical trial of CYB003, its proprietary deuterated psilocin program.
Entheon Biomedical Corp.
On July 11, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of a Phase 1 DMT study from Entheon. As part of the Asset Acquisition, Entheon assigned its rights under the Master Services Agreement between Entheon and Centre For Human Drug Research (“CHDR”) to the Company. The Company now maintains a direct contractual relationship with CHDR to conduct the CYB004-E trial. CHDR is an independent institute in the Netherlands specializing in innovative early-stage clinical drug research.
Mindset Pharma Inc.
On September 27, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement, as amended, with Mindset to acquire an exclusive license to an extensive targeted class of tryptamine-based molecules. The agreement includes an initial license fee payment by Cybin to Mindset of US$500 as well as additional clinical development milestone payments of up to US$9,500, with the first milestone payment, in the amount of US$500, payable upon completion of a Phase 1 clinical trial. At the sole discretion of Cybin, the milestones may be paid in cash or in Common Shares, or a combination thereof, subject to the approval of Cboe Canada. There is no assurance that the aforementioned milestones will be met. The agreement also contemplates a sales royalty of approximately 2% for all commercialized licensed products within the scope of the agreement, which is customary for drug licensing agreements of this nature.
Segal Trials
On January 15, 2025, the Company launched its first strategic partnership agreement with Segal Trials in furtherance of Cybin’s multinational pivotal Phase 3 program evaluating CYB003 for the adjunctive treatment of MDD. Segal Trials is a privately held company with a network of six research sites throughout South Florida. Segal Trials has extensive experience conducting research trials with an emphasis on psychiatry, neurology, addiction and psychedelics research.
42

Worldwide Clinical Trials
On July 26, 2023, the Company announced that it has partnered with Worldwide Clinical Trials, a global, full-service contract research organization with deep expertise managing clinical trials for mental health conditions, including MDD.
Other Third-Party Partners
The Company has established contractual sources of synthetic GMP (as defined below) and non-GMP raw materials to support its development operations through licensed third-party suppliers located in Canada, the United States, the UK and Europe. Such raw materials are expected to be, in general, readily available and in adequate supply to meet the Company’s need for development quantities, or custom manufactured on the Company’s behalf.28 The prices of research quantities of novel tryptamine compounds are generally higher than commercial supply prices at significantly larger scale and the Company, therefore, expects its supply prices to reduce over time. Development and production of the Company’s proprietary novel compounds is performed under confidential contractual agreements.
The Company has conducted due diligence on each such third party, including but not limited to the review of necessary licences and the regulatory framework enacted in the jurisdiction of operation.
The allocation of capital towards the Company’s ongoing projects and programs is largely dependent on the success, or difficulties encountered, in any particular portion of the process and therefore the time involved in completing it; in turn the time and costs associated with completing each step are highly dependent on the incremental results of each step and the results of other programs, and the Company’s need to be flexible to rapidly reallocate capital to projects whose results show the greatest potential. As such, it is difficult for the Company to anticipate the timing and costs associated with taking the projects to their next planned stage, and the Company cannot make assurances that the foregoing estimates will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated. Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to put undue reliance on the foregoing estimates.
Moreover, identifying the timing and costs of such projects beyond their immediate next steps go to the core differentiating factors with respect to the Company and its competitors. The disclosure of prospective costs and timing other than as already disclosed by the Company would negatively impact shareholder value and undermine the Company’s proprietary technology. In keeping with pharmaceutical industry practice, it is the Company’s policy to disclose these details in conjunction with its financial statements, and to publicly disclose published patent applications, published scientific papers, scientific symposia and the attainment of key milestones only. In addition, the premature disclosure of proprietary data would have a material and adverse effect on the Company’s patent and other intellectual property rights and could result in the breach of confidentiality obligations.
The material factors or assumptions used to develop the estimated costs disclosed above are included in the “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information” section above. The actual amount that
28 At this time the Company has not entered into commercial supply agreements and has no control over price or conditions. The Company has assumed that it will be able to enter into commercial supply agreements at such a time when there will be sufficient competition in the market which will render prices reasonable.
43

the Company spends in connection with each of the intended uses of proceeds will depend on a number of factors, including those listed under “Risk Factors” in this AIF or unforeseen events.
The Company has negative cash flow from operating activities and has historically incurred net losses. To the extent that the Company has negative operating cash flows in future periods, it may need to deploy a portion of its existing working capital to fund such negative cash flows. The Company will be required to raise additional funds through the issuance of additional equity securities, through loan financing, or other means, such as through partnerships with other companies and research and development reimbursements. There is no assurance that additional capital or other types of financing will be available if needed or that these financings will be on terms at least as favourable to the Company as those previously obtained.

(1) In both Canada and the United States, the applicable federal government is responsible for regulating, among other things, the approval, import, sale and marketing of drugs, including any psychedelic substances, whether natural or novel. Health Canada and the FDA have not approved psilocybin as a drug for any indication. It is illegal to possess such substances without a prescription. The Company does not directly engage in any activities that would trigger the need to comply with any federal laws related to psychedelic substances. See “Regulatory Environment – Research and Development”.

Canada
In Canada, oversight of healthcare is divided between the federal and provincial governments. The federal government is responsible for regulating, among other things, the approval, import, sale, and marketing of drugs such as psilocin and other psychedelic substances, whether natural or novel. The provincial/territorial level of government has authority over the delivery of health care services, including regulating
44

health facilities, administering health insurance plans such as the Ontario Health Insurance Plan, distributing prescription drugs within the province, and regulating health professionals such as doctors, psychologists, psychotherapists and nurse practitioners. Regulation is generally overseen by various colleges formed for that purpose, such as the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario.
Certain psychoactive compounds, such as psilocin, are considered controlled substances under Schedule III of the CDSA. In order to conduct any scientific research, including preclinical and clinical trials, using psychoactive compounds listed as controlled substances under the CDSA, an exemption under Section 56 of the CDSA (“Section 56 Exemption”) is required.
Health Canada has not approved psilocin as a drug for any indication. However, there are legal routes through which psilocin may be accessed for medical or scientific purposes. The Canadian Minister of Health can grant Section 56 Exemptions if it is deemed to be necessary for a medical or scientific purpose or is otherwise in the public interest. The Company has not applied for a Section 56 Exemption from Health Canada.
Health Canada’s Special Access Program (“SAP”) was designed to provide Canadians to access certain restricted drugs before they are formally approved for use in Canada. In January 2022, certain amendments to the SAP came into force to permit medical practitioners treating patients with serious or life-threatening conditions to request access to restricted drugs that have not yet been approved for sale in Canada when conventional therapies have failed, are unsuitable, or unavailable in Canada. Such amendments create a means of legally accessing psilocin through the SAP. The Company has not applied for access under the SAP.
The possession, sale or distribution of controlled substances is prohibited unless specifically permitted by the government. A party may seek government approval for a Section 56 Exemption to allow for the possession, transport or production of a controlled substance for medical or scientific purposes. Products that contain a controlled substance such as psilocin cannot be made, transported or sold without proper authorization from the government. A party can apply for a Dealer’s Licence under the Food and Drug Regulations (Part J). In order to qualify as a licensed dealer, a party must meet all regulatory requirements mandated by the regulations including having compliant facilities, compliant materials and staff that meet the qualifications under the regulations of a senior person in charge and a qualified person in charge. Assuming compliance with all relevant laws (Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, Food and Drugs Regulations) and subject to any restrictions placed on the licence by Health Canada, an entity with a Dealer’s Licence may produce, assemble, sell, provide, transport, send, deliver, import or export a restricted drug (as listed in Part J in the Food and Drugs Regulations – which includes psilocybin and psilocin) (see s. J.01.009 (1) of the Food and Drug Regulations).
The Company intends to sponsor and work with licensed third parties to conduct any clinical trials and research and does not handle controlled substances. If the Company were to conduct this work without the reliance on third parties, it would need to obtain additional licences and approvals described above.
Please see “Description of the Business – Research and Development” for additional information concerning the regulation applicable to the process required before prescription drug product candidates may be marketed in Canada.
United States
The FDA and other federal, state, local and foreign regulatory agencies impose substantial requirements upon the clinical development, clinical testing, approval, labeling, manufacture, marketing and
45

distribution of drug products. These agencies regulate, among other things, research and development activities and the testing, approval, manufacture, quality control, safety, effectiveness, labeling, storage, record keeping, advertising and promotion of any prescription drug product candidates or commercial products. The regulatory approval process is generally lengthy and expensive, with no guarantee of a positive result. Moreover, failure to comply with applicable FDA or other requirements may result in civil or criminal penalties, recall or seizure of products, injunctive relief including partial or total suspension of production, or withdrawal of a product from the market. Anticipated timelines related to regulatory filings are based on reasonable assumptions informed by current knowledge and information available to the Company.
Psilocybin, psilocin, DMT, and 5-Methoxy-DMT are strictly controlled under the federal CSA as Schedule I substances. Schedule I substances by definition have no currently accepted medical use in the United States, a lack of accepted safety for use under medical supervision, and a high potential for abuse. Schedule I and II drugs are subject to the strictest controls under the CSA, including manufacturing and procurement quotas, security requirements and criteria for importation. Anyone wishing to conduct research on substances listed in Schedule I under the CSA must register with the DEA and obtain DEA approval of the research proposal. A majority of state laws in the United States also classify psilocybin and psilocin as Schedule I controlled substances. For any product containing psilocin or any Schedule I substance to be available for commercial marketing in the United States, such substance must be rescheduled, or the product itself must be scheduled, by the DEA to Schedule II, III, IV or V. Scheduling determinations by the DEA are dependent on FDA approval of a substance or a specific formulation of a substance.
Please see “Description of the Business – Research and Development” for additional information concerning the regulation applicable to the process required before prescription drug product candidates may be marketed in the United States.
Europe (Netherlands)
The International Narcotics Control Board (“INCB”), a UN entity, monitors enforcement of restrictions on controlled substances. The INCB’s authority is defined by three international UN treaties – the UN Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs of 1961, the UN Psychotropic Convention of 1971 (referred to herein as the UN71), and the UN Convention Against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances of 1988, which contains provisions related to the control of controlled substance precursors. EU Member States, including the Netherlands, that have agreed to abide by the provisions of these treaties, each create responsible agencies and enact laws or regulations to implement the requirements of these conventions.
Specific EU legislation establishing different classes of controlled substances is limited to EU regulations that define classes of precursors, or substances used in the illicit manufacture of controlled substances, including Regulation (EC) No. 273/2004 of the European Parliament and the Council of February 11, 2004 and the Council Regulation (EC) No. 111/2005 of December 22, 2004. While EU legislation does not establish different classes of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substances, the Council Decision 2005/387/JHA of May 10, 2005 (which applies only in certain limited situations)29 can provoke a Council
29 Decision 2005/387/JHA was repealed (by Directive (EU) 2017/2103 of the European Parliament and of the Council of November 15, 2017 amending Council Framework Decision 2004/757/JHA in order to include new psychoactive substances in the definition of ‘drug’ and repealing Council Decision 2005/387/JHA), but still continues to apply to new psychoactive substances in respect of which a Joint Report (as referred to in Article 5 of that Decision) has been submitted before November 23, 2018.
46

Decision requiring EU member states to put a drug under national controls equivalent to those of the INCB. DMT is currently classified as a Schedule I substance under the UN71; the EU member states that are party to the UN71, including the Netherlands, have agreed to the following in respect of Schedule I substances:
•prohibit all use except for scientific and very limited medical purposes by duly authorized persons, in medical or scientific establishments which are directly under the control of their Governments or specifically approved by them;
•require that manufacture, trade, distribution and possession be under a special licence or prior authorization;
•provide for close supervision of the activities and acts mentioned in paragraphs (a) and (b);
•restrict the amount supplied to a duly authorized person to the quantity required for his authorized purpose;
•require that persons performing medical or scientific functions keep records concerning the acquisition of the substances and the details of their use, such records to be preserved for at least two years after the last use recorded therein; and
•prohibit export and import except when both the exporter and importer are the competent authorities or agencies of the exporting and importing country or region, respectively, or other persons or enterprises which are specifically authorized by the competent authorities of their country or region for the purpose.
As classification of controlled substances may vary among different EU member states, sponsors must be aware of the prevailing legislation in each country where a clinical trial may be conducted. Prior to operating or conducting any preclinical or clinical studies in any other EU member state, Cybin will investigate the specific regulatory requirements of such EU member state. As referenced above, a licence is required for individuals and entities who wish to produce, dispense, import, or export Schedule I substances (including DMT), but the specific requirements vary from country to country. Currently, DMT is classified in the Netherlands as a List 1 Drug under the Dutch Opium Act (Opiumwet) (the “Dutch Opium Act”) and as such, subject to express authorization being obtained, the production, trade and possession of DMT are prohibited.
In addition to the Dutch Opium Act, two other Dutch Acts may be relevant when it comes to drugs: the Medicines Act and the Commodities Act.
The specific regulatory processes and approvals required may vary among different EU member states and are set forth in the respective legislation of each country. For the Netherlands, there are specific regulatory requirements for the approval of clinical trials that need to be met. Firstly, a CTA dossier containing the preclinical and any clinical information along with the proposed clinical trial design must be submitted to an accredited Ethics Committee and to the Central Commission on Research in Humans (the “CCMO”), which is also known as the Competent Authority in The Netherlands. In Dutch, the CCMO is called the ‘Centrale Commissie Mensgebonden Onderzoek’. In cases where the study involves a substance subject to the Dutch Opium Act (such as DMT), an official exemption by Farmatec is needed, which needs to be included in the CTA.
Specific rules for the submission, assessment and conduct of clinical trials with medicinal products are set out in, among others, the EU Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 (CTR), which is applicable in the EU as of January 31, 2022 and the Medical Research (Human Subjects) Act (Wet medisch-wetenschappelijk onderzoek met mensen).
47

On April 26, 2023, the European Commission introduced a comprehensive “pharmaceutical package” aimed at revising the EU’s pharmaceutical legislation. This package includes proposals for a new directive and regulation designed to enhance the availability, accessibility, and affordability of medicines. Additionally, it seeks to boost the competitiveness and attractiveness of the EU pharmaceutical industry while imposing higher environmental standards. The European Parliament has recently looked at these proposals to renovate the EU pharmaceutical legislation, and a newly elected Parliament will take up the proposal following the European elections of June 6-9, 2024.
Ireland
In Ireland, psilocin is a controlled substance under the Misuse of Drugs Act, 1977, 1984 and 2015 (the “Ireland MDA”), the Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2017 (the “Ireland MDR”) and the Criminal Justice (Psychoactive Substances) Act 2010 (the “2010 Act”). These are the primary legislative instruments which govern controlled substances in Ireland. This legislation regulates the use, possession, supply, licensing, and administration of listed scheduled substances and establishes the offences and penalties for infringement of the legislation.
Any substance, product or preparation (whether natural or otherwise) including a fungus of any kind or description, which contains psilocin, or an ester of psilocin, is classed as a Schedule 1 controlled substance under the Ireland MDA and the Ireland MDR. Accordingly, psilocin is subject to the strict regime of control that applies.
As a Schedule 1 controlled substance under the Ireland MDA, unlawful manufacturing, production, preparation, importation, exportation, supply, or distribution of psilocin carries onerous obligations and harsh punishments for contravention; this includes prohibition orders, closure orders, fines and/or terms of imprisonment of up to 14 years. The Gardaí and Customs officials are granted powers to search persons, vehicles, premises and postal packages suspected of possessing/containing a Schedule 1 controlled substance and/or a psychoactive substance for human consumption.
Pursuant to the Ireland MDA, in certain circumstances, the Minister for Health “may grant licences or issue permits or authorizations for any of the purposes of this Act, attach conditions to any such licence, permit or authorization, vary such conditions and revoke any such licence, permit or authorization”. Where licences are granted, there are very strict conditions imposed on licence holders. For example, strict conditions can be placed regarding the security, storage and documenting controlled substances. Further, the 2010 Act permits the Minister to make an order declaring that the Act shall not apply in relation to any “substance, product, preparation, plant, fungus or natural organism” as specified in the order.
The Company does not currently engage in any activities in Ireland that are regulated by such laws. If the Company were to engage in such activities, it would need to obtain the appropriate licences and authorization to do so. The Company intends to constantly review its Irish operations to ensure compliance with all applicable laws as the operations evolve.
The Irish Government’s Legislative Programme for Summer 2025 does not contain any proposed amendments to the above-mentioned legislation which currently govern controlled substances.
United Kingdom
In the UK, there are two main “layers” of regulation with which products containing controlled substances must comply. These are: (i) controlled drugs legislation, which applies to all products
48

irrespective of the type of product, and (ii) the regulatory frameworks applicable to a specific category of products, in this case, pharmaceuticals and food/food supplements.
The main UK controlled drugs legislation is the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 (the “MDA”) and the Misuse of Drugs Regulations 2001 (the “MDR”), each as amended. The MDA sets out the penalties for unlawful production, possession and supply of controlled drugs based on three classes of risk (A, B and C). The MDR sets out the permitted uses of controlled drugs based on which Schedule (1 to 5) they fall within.
In the United Kingdom, “Fungus (of any kind) which contains psilocin or an ester of psilocin” is controlled as a Class A drug under the MDA and Schedule 1 drug under the MDR.
In the United Kingdom, Class A drugs are deemed to be the most dangerous, and so carry the harshest punishments for unlawful manufacture, production, possession and supply. Schedule 1 drugs can only be lawfully manufactured, produced, possessed and supplied under a controlled drugs domestic licence, which specifies the specific activities to which it relates together with any applicable conditions, issued by the UK Home Office. While exemptions do exist, none are applicable to the API. DMT is also considered a Class A drug under the MDA and as a Schedule I drug under the MDR.
The Company previously mentioned that it intended to file a clinical trial application with the U.K. Medical and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (“MHRA”) related to the Deuterated Psilocybin Analog Program upon completion of its pre-clinical studies and CMC development. The Company has since decided that it will first proceed in the U.S. and will reevaluate other applications at a later date. Anticipated timelines related to regulatory filings are based on reasonable assumptions informed by current knowledge and information available to the Company. Small Pharma has a controlled drug licence in respect of the offices at 50 Featherstone St, which was issued on June 6, 2024 and expired on June 5, 2025. An application for 2025 renewal has been made in good time prior to expiration. Although the new certificate has not yet been issued for 2025-2026, the Home Office has advised that the Company may continue to handle controlled drugs on the same terms and subject to the same conditions of the 2024-2025 licence.
Licensing Requirements
The Company obtains CYB003 API from a pharmaceutical ingredient provider who is FDA-registered and based in the United States. The API itself has been manufactured and packaged in FDA-registered facilities in the United States. The API is expected to be sent directly to the Company’s partners for research and development purposes in the United States, Canada and the UK and to its clinical trial site in the U.S. As a part of the Asset Acquisition, the Company also acquired API. The CYB004-E API was manufactured in the Netherlands by a pharmaceutical ingredient provider that is US FDA-inspected.30
As mentioned above, in order to produce, possess and supply the API at a UK-based facility, the facility must also hold a domestic licence issued by the Home Office covering the manufacture, production, possession and supply of a controlled substance. For export of the API to the United States, an export licence is required for each API shipment. The export application must include details of the importer and any import licence required by the local authorities in the United States. Moreover, as set out below in more detail under the heading "Pharmaceutical Products", depending on how the API is developed and
30 As a result of the Asset Acquisition, including the existing API, the Company did not direct the manufacturing of the API for CYB004-E and proceeded in reliance upon the representations of Entheon and the Company’s acquisition diligence. While the Company believes the CYB004-E API meets all required specifications, the Company did not oversee or direct the manufacture of the DMT API being used in CYB004-E.
49

supplied, certain authorizations and licenses from the MHRA may be required to authorize some of the activities carried on at the UK-based facilities in relation to the API .
All premises that are Home Office licensed, or are intending to be licensed, in connection with the possession, and/or supply and/or production of controlled drugs should consider certain security measures.31
Typically, when controlled drugs are being transported between licensees, responsibility for their security remains with the owner and does not transfer to either the courier or the customer until the drugs arrive at their destination and are signed for. However, where a third party is involved in the transit and/or storage of controlled drugs, even if they are not the legal owners, this party also carries responsibility for their security by virtue of being ‘in possession’ of them. The MDA requires that every person in possession of controlled drugs holds an appropriate Home Office Licence and under the Home Office guidance, each organization involved in the movement of controlled drugs should have a standard operating procedure covering their responsibilities, record keeping, reconciliation and reporting of thefts/losses.32
Small Pharma holds the appropriate UK Home Office licence required to sponsor clinical trials using Schedule I compounds.
Pharmaceutical Products
A product is regulated as a “medicinal product” under UK legislation (the Human Medicines Regulations 2012, as amended) if (i) it is a substance or combination of substances presented as having properties of preventing or treating disease in human beings (e.g., in marketing claims) or (ii) it is a substance or combination of substances that may be used by or administered to human beings with a view to (a) restoring, correcting or modifying a physiological function by exerting a pharmacological, immunological or metabolic action, or (b) making a medical diagnosis.
In respect of psilocybin/psilocin and DMT, whether a specific product restores, corrects or modifies a physiological function by exerting a pharmacological, immunological or metabolic action will depend on factors such as the concentration of the psilocybin/psilocin or DMT (as applicable) and the mode of action of any psilocybin/psilocin or DMT (as applicable) absorbed in the body. This requires scientific analysis.
If a product is a medicinal product, the Human Medicines Regulations 2012 require that a marketing authorization for the product granted by the UK Licensing Authority should be in place before the product is placed on the market in the UK (other, more limited, licensing options are available, such as a conditional marketing authorization), unless the product falls within one of the specified exemptions, such as supply in response to an unsolicited request from a healthcare professional to meet the special clinical needs of a particular patient under his/her care. Following the UK’s exit from the EU and the end of the transitional period, up to (and including) December 31, 2024, there were separate licensing routes and licences for products supplied: (i) in Great Britain only; (ii) in Northern Ireland only; and (iii) across the UK. From January 1, 2025, the UK Licensing Authority now licenses products across the whole of the UK through UK-wide licenses, removing the separate licensing routes for Great Britain and Northern Ireland for many medicinal products. The process for obtaining a standard marketing authorization generally involves submitting preclinical and clinical data as well as quality and manufacturing

information in the form of a common technical document to the MHRA. In addition to a marketing authorization for the product itself, companies carrying out activities involving medicinal products, such as manufacturing, distribution and wholesaling, need to meet defined standards (GMP) and/or Good Distribution Practice (“GDP”) and to hold a related licence from the MHRA.
How the API is subsequently processed will determine the licences (in addition to any applicable Home Office licenses as referred to above) that the UK-based facility must hold. In particular:
•if the API is just one ‘ingredient’ (i.e. active substance) of the investigational medicinal product (the “IMP”) which is used in the clinical trial then the UK-based facility must apply to be registered with the MHRA and provide the MHRA with 60 days’ notice of the intended start of manufacture, import or distribution of the API, and comply with GMP and GDP for active substances; furthermore, an MHRA inspection may be required; and
•conversely, if the API will itself constitute the IMP, the manufacturer must, except in certain limited circumstances, hold a Manufacturer’s Authorizations for IMPs licence (“MIA(IMP)”) granted by the MHRA. In this scenario, assuming the IMP is manufactured or assembled in the UK, an MIA(IMP) would be required regardless of whether the IMP is for use in clinical trials in the UK, an EEA Member State or a third country (such as the United States or Canada). GMP, GDP and inspection requirements will apply.
Some products fall on the borderline between medicines and other categories of regulated products such as medical devices, cosmetics or food supplements. The regulatory status of the product will be determined by i) the actual effect of the product on the body; and ii) any claims made about the effect of the product. Where a product is potentially both a medicinal product and another category of product, the legal position in the UK and EU is that it will be regulated as a medicinal product.
Research and Development
The Company is focused on development of psychedelic medicines and other products, through research and development of novel chemical compounds and delivery mechanisms and study of such compounds in clinical environments around the world. The Company anticipates growing its pipeline of psychedelic pharmaceutical products inspired medicines through its internal research, development, proprietary discovery programs, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures and collaborative development agreements. For the time being, the Company maintains intellectual property generated by its R&D programs through patent filings and as trade secrets. The Company anticipates that as these programs mature more patent applications will be filed and more details about these programs will be disclosed at such time.
Psychedelics are a class of drug whose primary action is to trigger psychedelic experiences by way of serotonin receptor agonism, causing thought, visual and auditory changes, and altered state of consciousness. Major psychedelic drugs include mescaline, LSD, psilocin, and DMT. Psilocybin is a naturally occurring psychedelic prodrug compound produced by more than 200 species of mushrooms, collectively known as psilocybin mushrooms. The most potent are members of the genus Psilocybe, such as P. azurescens, P. semilanceata, and P. cyanescens, but psilocybin has also been isolated from about a dozen other genera. As a prodrug, psilocybin is quickly converted by the body to psilocin, which has mind-altering effects.
51

The pharmacokinetics, pharmacology and human metabolism of psilocin are well known and well characterized. In conjunction with psychotherapy, psilocin has been utilized broadly in phase II clinical trials.
Psilocybin found in certain species of mushrooms is a non-habit forming naturally occurring psychedelic compound. Once ingested, psilocybin is rapidly metabolized to psilocin, which then acts on serotonin receptors in the brain.
Cybin has commenced research and development on the delivery of synthetic psilocin and other psychedelics through mechanisms such as sublingual film delivery, IV, and by way of inhalation.
Research and development is led by the Company’s North American Chief Scientific Officer, Alex Nivorozhkin Ph.D., a seasoned medicinal chemist, drug delivery expert and founder of multiple biotech companies.
The Company’s research and development must be conducted in strict compliance with the regulations of federal, state, local and regulatory agencies in Canada, the United States and the UK, and the equivalent regulatory agencies in the other jurisdictions in which the Company operates. These regulatory authorities regulate, among other things, the research, manufacture, promotion and distribution of drugs in specific jurisdictions under applicable laws and regulations.
Canada
The process required before a prescription drug product candidate may be marketed in Canada generally involves:
•Chemical and Biological Research - Laboratory tests are carried out on tissue cultures and with a variety of small animals to determine the effects of the drug. If the results are promising, the manufacturer will proceed to the next step of development.
•Pre-clinical Development – Animals are given the drug in varying amounts over differing periods of time. If it can be shown that the drug causes no serious or unexpected harm at the doses required to have an effect, the manufacturer will proceed to clinical trials.
•Clinical Trials — Phase 1 - The first administration in humans is to test if people can tolerate the drug. If this testing is to take place in Canada, the manufacturer must prepare a clinical trial application for the Therapeutic Products Directorate of Health Canada (the “TPD”). This includes the results of the first two steps and a proposal for testing in humans. If the information is sufficient, the Health Products and Food Branch of Health Canada (the “HPFB”) grants permission to start testing the drug, generally first on healthy volunteers.
•Clinical Trials — Phase 2 - Phase 2 trials are carried out on people with the target condition, who are usually otherwise healthy, with no other medical condition. Trials carried out in Canada must be approved by the TPD. In phase 2, the objective of the trials is to continue to gather information on the safety of the drug and begin to determine its effectiveness.
•Clinical Trials — Phase 3 - If the results from phase 2 show promise, the manufacturer provides an updated clinical trial application to the TPD for Phase 3 trials. The objectives of phase 3 include determining whether the drug can be shown to be effective, and have an acceptable side effect profile, in people who better represent the general population. Further information will also
52

be obtained on how the drug should be used, the optimal dosage regimen and the possible side effects.
•New Drug Submission - If the results from phase 3 continue to be favourable, the drug manufacturer can submit a new drug submission (“NDS”) to the TPD. A drug manufacturer can submit an NDS regardless of whether the clinical trials were carried out in Canada. The TPD reviews all the information gathered during the development of the drug and assesses the risks and benefits of the drug. If it is judged that, for a specific patient population and specific conditions of use, the benefits of the drug outweigh the known risks, the HPFB will approve the drug by issuing a notice of compliance.
United States
Because psilocybin, psilocin, DMT, and 5-Methoxy-DMT are listed as Schedule I substances under the CSA, for any product containing psilocin or any Schedule I substance to be available for commercial marketing in the United States, such substance must be rescheduled, or the product itself must be scheduled, by the DEA to Schedule II, III, IV or V.
The process required before a prescription drug product candidate may be marketed in the United States generally involves:
•completion of extensive nonclinical laboratory tests, animal studies and formulation studies, all performed in accordance with the FDA’s GLP, Good Clinical and/or GMP regulations;
•submission to the FDA of an IND Application, which the FDA must approve before human clinical trials may begin;
•approval by an IRB or independent ethics committee at each clinical trial site before each trial may be initiated;
•for nearly all new pharmaceutical products, performance of adequate and well-controlled human clinical trials in accordance with the FDA’s regulations, including Good Clinical Practices, to establish the safety and efficacy of the prescription drug product candidate for each proposed indication;
•submission to the FDA of an NDA;
•satisfactory completion of one or more FDA pre-approval inspections of the manufacturing facility or facilities where the drug will be produced to assess compliance with cGMP requirements to assure that the facilities, methods and controls are adequate to preserve the drug’s identity, strength, quality, and purity; and
•FDA review and approval of the NDA prior to any commercial marketing, sale or shipment of the drug.
The testing and approval process requires substantial time, effort and financial resources, and the Company cannot be certain that the DEA will schedule or reschedule any Schedule I substance or product candidate to Schedule II, III, IV or V, or that approvals for its prescription drug product candidates will be granted on a timely basis, if at all.
Non-clinical tests include laboratory evaluations of product chemistry, formulation and stability, as well as studies to evaluate toxicity in animals and other animal studies or through FDA-accepted alternative methods (New Approach Methodologies or NAMs). The results of non-clinical tests, together with manufacturing information and analytical data, are submitted as part of an IND to the FDA. Some non-clinical testing may continue even after an IND is submitted. The IND also includes one or more
53

protocols for the initial clinical trial or trials and an investigator’s brochure. An IND automatically becomes effective 30 days after receipt by the FDA, unless the FDA, within the 30-day time period, raises concerns or questions relating to the proposed clinical trials as outlined in the IND and places the clinical trial on a clinical hold. In such cases, the IND sponsor and the FDA must resolve any outstanding concerns or questions before any clinical trials can begin. Clinical trial holds also may be imposed at any time before or during studies due to safety concerns or non-compliance with regulatory requirements.
An IRB board, at each of the clinical centers proposing to conduct the clinical trial must review and approve the plan for any clinical trial before it commences at that center. An IRB board considers, among other things, whether the risks to individuals participating in the trials are minimized and are reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits. The IRB board also approves the consent form signed by the trial participants and must monitor the study until completed. The FDA, the independent IRB, or the sponsor may suspend or discontinue a clinical trial at any time on various grounds, including a finding that the subjects are being exposed to an unacceptable health risk. There also are requirements governing the reporting of ongoing clinical trials and completed clinical trials to public registries.
The FDA offers a number of regulatory mechanisms that provide expedited or accelerated approval procedures for selected drugs and indications which are designed to address unmet medical needs in the treatment of serious or life-threatening diseases or conditions. These include programs such as BTDs, Fast Track designations, Priority Review and Accelerated Approval, which the Company may need to rely upon in order to receive timely approval or to be competitive.
The Company may plan to seek orphan drug designation for certain indications qualified for such designation. The U.S., E.U. and other jurisdictions may grant orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a “rare disease or condition,” which, in the U.S., is generally a disease or condition that affects fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States, or 200,000 or more individuals in the United States and for which there is no reasonable expectation that the cost of developing and making a drug available in the United States for this type of disease or condition will be recovered from sales of the product. In the E.U., orphan drug designation can be granted if: the disease is life threatening or chronically debilitating and affects no more than 50 in 100,000 persons in the E.U.; without incentive it is unlikely that the drug would generate sufficient return to justify the necessary investment; and no satisfactory method of treatment for the condition exists or, if it does, the new drug will provide a significant benefit to those affected by the condition. Orphan drug designation must be requested before submitting an NDA. If a product that has an orphan drug designation subsequently receives the first regulatory approval for the indication for which it has such designation, the product is entitled to orphan exclusivity, meaning that the applicable regulatory authority may not approve any other applications to market the same drug for the same indication, except in very limited circumstances, for a period of seven years in the U.S. and 10 years in the E.U. Orphan drug designation does not prevent competitors from developing or marketing different drugs for the same indication or the same drug for different indications. After orphan drug designation is granted, the identity of the therapeutic agent and its potential orphan use are publicly disclosed. Orphan drug designation does not convey an advantage in, or shorten the duration of, the development, review and approval process. However, this designation provides an exemption from marketing and authorization fees.
Drugs manufactured or distributed pursuant to FDA approvals are subject to continuing regulation by the FDA, including, among other things, requirements relating to recordkeeping, periodic reporting, product sampling and distribution, reporting of adverse experiences with the product, and complying with promotion and advertising requirements. The FDA may impose a number of post-approval requirements as a condition of approval of an NDA. For example, the FDA may require post-market testing, including
54

phase IV clinical trials, and surveillance to further assess and monitor the product’s safety and effectiveness after commercialization. In addition, drug manufacturers and their subcontractors involved in the manufacture and distribution of approved drugs are required to register their establishments with the FDA and certain state agencies and are subject to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA and certain state agencies for compliance with ongoing regulatory requirements, including current Good Manufacturing Practices, which impose certain procedural and documentation requirements. Failure to comply with statutory and regulatory requirements may subject a manufacturer to legal or regulatory action, such as warning letters, suspension of manufacturing, product seizures, injunctions, civil penalties or criminal prosecution. There is also a continuing, annual prescription drug product program user fee.
The FDA may withdraw approval if compliance with regulatory requirements and standards is not maintained or if problems occur after the product reaches the market. Later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product, including adverse events of unanticipated severity or frequency, or with manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may result in revisions to the approved labeling to add new safety information, requirements for post-market studies or clinical trials to assess new safety risks, or imposition of distribution or other restrictions under a risk evaluation and mitigation strategy.
In the United States, pharmaceutical manufacturers are subject to complex laws and regulations pertaining to healthcare “fraud and abuse,” including, but not limited to, the Anti-Kickback Statute, the federal False Claims Act (the “FCA”), and other state and federal laws and regulations. The Anti-Kickback Statute makes it illegal for any person, including a prescription drug manufacturer (or a party acting on its behalf) to knowingly and willfully solicit, receive, offer, or pay any remuneration that is intended to induce the referral of business, including the purchase, order, or prescription of a particular drug, for which payment may be made under a federal healthcare program, such as Medicare or Medicaid.
The FCA prohibits, among other things, any person or entity from knowingly presenting, or causing to be presented, a false or fraudulent claim for payment to or approval by the federal government or knowingly making, using, or causing to be made or used a false record or statement material to a false or fraudulent claim to the federal government. A claim includes “any request or demand” for money or property presented to the U.S. government. Violations of the FCA can result in very significant monetary penalties and treble damages. The federal government is using the FCA, and the accompanying threat of significant liability, in its investigation and prosecution of pharmaceutical companies throughout the country, for example, in connection with the promotion of products for unapproved uses and other sales and marketing practices. The government has obtained multi-million and multi-billion dollar settlements under the FCA in addition to individual criminal convictions under applicable criminal statutes. In addition, the federal civil monetary penalties statute imposes penalties against any person or entity that, among other things, is determined to have presented or caused to be presented a claim to a federal health program that the person knows or should know is for an item or service that was not provided as claimed or is false or fraudulent. Given the significant size of actual and potential settlements, it is expected that the government will continue to devote substantial resources to investigating healthcare providers’ and manufacturers’ compliance with applicable fraud and abuse laws.
There are also an increasing number of state laws that require manufacturers to make reports to states on pricing and marketing information. In addition, a similar federal requirement Section 6002 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Affordability Reconciliation Act, or the Affordable Care Act, commonly referred to as the “Physician Payments Sunshine Act” requires applicable manufacturers to track and report to the federal government certain payments and “transfers of value” made to physicians and teaching hospitals, as well as ownership and
55

investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members, made in the previous calendar year. There are a number of states that have various types of additional reporting requirements.
Controlled Substances
The CSA and its implementing regulations establish a “closed system” of regulations for controlled substances. The CSA imposes registration, security, recordkeeping and reporting, storage, manufacturing, distribution, importation and other requirements under the oversight of the DEA. The DEA is responsible for regulating controlled substances, and requires those individuals or entities that manufacture, import, export, distribute, research, or dispense controlled substances to comply with the regulatory requirements in order to prevent the diversion of controlled substances to illicit channels of commerce.
The DEA categorizes controlled substances into one of five schedules — Schedule I, II, III, IV or V — with varying qualifications for listing in each schedule. Schedule I substances by definition have a high potential for abuse, have no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States and lack accepted safety for use under medical supervision. For any product containing a Schedule I substance, such as psilocin to be available for commercial marketing in the United States, such substance must be rescheduled, or the product itself must be scheduled, by the DEA to Schedule II, III, IV or V. Scheduling determinations by the DEA are dependent on FDA approval of a substance or a specific formulation of a substance.
Facilities that research, manufacture, distribute, import or export any controlled substance must register annually with the DEA. The DEA registration is specific to the particular location, activity(ies) and controlled substance schedule(s). For example, separate registrations are needed for import and manufacturing, and each registration will specify which schedules of controlled substances are authorized.
The DEA may inspect all research and manufacturing facilities to review security, recordkeeping, reporting and handling prior to issuing a controlled substance registration and periodically to ensure continued compliance. The specific security requirements vary by the type of business activity and the schedule and quantity of controlled substances handled. The most stringent requirements apply to researchers and manufacturers of Schedule I and Schedule II substances. Required security measures commonly include background checks on employees and physical control of controlled substances through storage in approved vaults, safes and cages, and through use of alarm systems and surveillance cameras. Once registered, manufacturing facilities must maintain records documenting the manufacture, receipt and distribution of all controlled substances. Manufacturers must submit periodic reports to the DEA of the distribution of Schedule I and II controlled substances, Schedule III narcotic substances, and other designated substances. Registrants must also report any controlled substance thefts or significant losses, and must obtain authorization to destroy or dispose of controlled substances. Imports of Schedule I and II controlled substances for commercial purposes are generally restricted to substances not already available from a domestic supplier or where there is not adequate competition among domestic suppliers. In addition to an importer or exporter registration, importers and exporters must obtain a permit for every import or export of a Schedule I and II substance or Schedule III, IV and V narcotic, and submit import or export declarations for Schedule III, IV and V non-narcotics.
For drugs manufactured in the United States, the DEA establishes annually an aggregate quota for the amount of substances within Schedules I and II that may be manufactured or produced in the United States based on the DEA’s estimate of the quantity needed to meet legitimate medical, scientific, research and industrial needs. The quotas apply equally to the manufacturing of the active pharmaceutical ingredient and production of dosage forms. The DEA may adjust aggregate production quotas a few times
56

per year, and individual manufacturing or procurement quotas from time to time during the year, although the DEA has substantial discretion in whether or not to make such adjustments for individual companies.
Individual U.S. states also establish and maintain separate controlled substance laws and regulations, including licensing, recordkeeping, security, distribution, and dispensing requirements. A majority of state laws in the United States classify psilocybin and psilocin as Schedule I controlled substances. State authorities, including boards of pharmacy, regulate use of controlled substances in each state, including state specific controlled substance registration requirements. Failure to obtain applicable registrations or maintain compliance with applicable requirements, particularly as manifested in the loss or diversion of controlled substances, can result in enforcement action that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operations and financial condition. The DEA and/or state regulatory agencies may seek civil penalties, refuse to renew necessary registrations, or initiate proceedings to revoke those registrations. In certain circumstances, violations could lead to criminal prosecution.
EU (Netherlands)
Regulation (EU) No 536/2014 on Clinical Trials on Medicinal Products for Human Use (the “CTR”) is applicable as of January 31, 2022, harmonizing the laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the EU Member States relating to the implementation of Good Clinical Practice in the conduct of clinical trials on medicinal products for human use.33 EU Member States have transformed the requirements outlined in the Clinical Trials Directive into the respective national laws. Pursuant to the CTR, as of January 31, 2023 sponsors are obliged to use the Clinical Trials Information System (CTSI) for regularity submission, authorization and supervision of clinical trials in the EU and the EEA. CTIS will thus serve as the single-entry point for submissions by sponsors and for regulatory assessment. In addition to this obligation, sponsors must transfer any ongoing (approved) trials under the CTR to CTIS by January 2025.
Further, the European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) adopted on October 5, 2023, the “Revised CTIS Transparency Rules” on publishing information about clinical trials submitted through CTIS. To increase transparency, EMA removed the deferral mechanism which allowed sponsors to delay certain data and document publication for up to seven years after the end of their trial. Annex I of the revised rules outlines the timing of information publication for each category of clinical trial and patient population. These new rules became applicable on June 18, 2024, the same day of the launch of the new CTIS portal. In order to smoothen the process of transitioning clinical trials from the Clinical Trial Directive to the CTR, a non-binding guide named “Guidance for the Transition of clinical trials from the Clinical Trials Directive to the Clinical Trials Regulation” (version 4) dated May 2024 is published.
CTIS and the practical aspects thereof are also discussed and explained (among other relevant topics relating to clinical trials) in a quick guide on the rules and procedures of the EU Clinical Trials Regulation called “Clinical Trials Regulation (EU) 536/2014 in practice”, which is published by the Clinical Trials Coordination and Advisory Group (“CTAG”) on December 8, 2023. The objective of the rules is to provide sponsors and investigators a quick guide on the rules and procedures of the CTR with a view to facilitating implementation. In addition to the quick guide, CTAG also published a non-binding Questions & Answers (Version 7.1) that should be read in conjunction with the quick guide and with the “Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS): online training modules” in order to gain a better understanding of the legislative changes that are effected by the CTR.
33 The CTR does not apply in the UK and UK law on clinical trials is currently based on old EU law (the Clinical Trials Directive), transposed into UK law via the Medicines for Human Use (Clinical Trials) Regulations 2004. An overhaul of UK law on clinical trials has been on-going for a few years, and new legislation on clinical trials in the UK, the Medicines for Human Use (Clinical Trials) (Amendment) Regulations 2024, has been signed into law and is due to come into effect from mid-April 2026.
57

The Investigational Medicinal Product Dossier (“IMPD”) is one of several regulatory documents required for conducting a clinical trial of a pharmacologically API intended for one or more EU Member States. The IMPD includes summaries of information related to the quality, manufacture and control of any IMP (including reference product and placebo), and data from non-clinical and clinical studies. Guidance concerning IMPDs is based on the CTR and on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to the implementation of good clinical practice in the conduct of clinical trials on medicinal products for human use (also commonly referred to as the “Clinical Trials Directive”).
The content of the IMPD may be adapted to the existing level of knowledge and the product’s phase of development. When applying for a clinical trial authorization, a full IMPD is required when little or no information about an API has been previously submitted to competent authorities, when it is not possible to cross-refer to data submitted by another sponsor and/or when there is no authorization for sale in the EU. However, a simplified IMPD may be submitted if information has been assessed previously as part of a Marketing Authorization or a clinical trial to that competent authority. Although the format is not obligatory, the components of an IMPD are largely equivalent to clinical trial applications in Canada and the United States. The IMPD need not be a large document as the amount of information to be contained in the dossier is dependent on various factors such as product type, indication, development phase etc.
The assessment of an IMPD is focused on patient safety and any risks associated with the IMP. Whenever any potential new risks are identified the IMPD must be amended to reflect the changes. Certain amendments are considered substantial in which case the competent authority must be informed of the substantial amendment. This may be the case for changes in IMP impurities, microbial contamination, viral safety, transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (e.g. mad cow disease) and in some particular cases to stability when toxic degradation products may be generated.
With the completion of the Asset Acquisition, the Company has an ongoing phase I study to obtain preliminary evidence of the safety and efficacy of infused DMT. Prior to the Asset Acquisition, an investigator’s brochure (including prior safety, preclinical and clinical data), and an IMPD document that includes CMC information and a clinical study protocol and supporting information had been prepared. Approval by the Dutch ethics committee of the Phase 1 Study, planned to be conducted by CHDR will be based on the vast amount of published human and animal studies of DMT. Prior to the Asset Acquisition, preclinical data was not provided as part of the application package; however, limited additional in vivo and in vitro data to support the rationale for human dosing and safety had been included. CHDR and its partner GMP-licensed pharmacy that will be involved in the Phase 1 Study, the Leiden University Medical Center, have all the required approvals to possess and handle DMT for the Phase 1 Study.
Failure of the Company to receive the necessary regulatory approvals required to conduct the Phase 1 Study would have an adverse impact on its business plans and financial condition for a number of reasons including, without limitation: (i) it would cause delays in the Company’s research and development plans; (ii) it may require the Company to expend additional financial and human resources on revising its application package or creating a new one; or (iii) it may require the Company to approach an entirely different regulatory authority in a new jurisdiction, in which case the Company would have to expend a substantial amount of capital and other resources on engaging the appropriate research and development partners and creating an application package that complies with the regulations of that new jurisdiction. Additionally, the Company would be required to spend capital on transferring the DMT materials to the new jurisdiction. All of the foregoing would likely have a negative impact on the Company’s business and financial condition.

Pharmaceutical Products
In accordance with the Dutch Medicines Act (Geneesmiddelenwet), “medicinal products” are defined as: a substance or a combination of substances that is intended to be administered or used for, or is presented in any way as being suitable for, use: (i) the cure or prevention of any disease, defect, wound or pain in human beings, (ii) the making of a medical diagnosis in human beings, or (iii) restoring, improving or otherwise modifying physiological functions in humans by exerting a pharmacological, immunological or metabolic effect.
If a product constitutes a medicinal product, a marketing authorization for the product is required before the product may be placed on the market in the Netherlands. In the EU, marketing authorizations may be obtained through the Centralized procedure, the Decentralized or Mutual Recognition procedures and/or the national procedure. The Centralized procedure is compulsory for medicines intended to treat i.e. cancer, AIDS, neurodegenerative diseases and diabetes and optional (only) for medicines comprising of new active substances not previously approved for the EEA. When applying for a marketing authorization through the Centralized procedure, applications are submitted with the EMA. Where the Centralized procedure is not available but a medicinal product is intended for several EU/EEA Member States, an application for a marketing authorization may be submitted with the competent authority of a single EU/EEA Member State in accordance with the Decentralized procedure. When the assessment of the application results in a decision to grant the marketing authorization, this decision will be recognized by the competent authorities of the other Member States for which the marketing authorization is applied. The Mutual Recognition procedure is similar to the Decentralised procedure, but applies to applications where the medicinal product is already the subject of a marketing authorization in another EU/EEA Member State. Finally, should a medicinal product be intended for the Netherlands only, then the national procedure may be followed by submitting an application with the Dutch Medicines Evaluation Board. It may be remarked that the national procedure is unavailable in case the Centralized procedure is compulsory or in case an applicant has already submitted an application for and/or obtained a marketing authorization in another Member State. In that case, applications must follow the Mutual Recognition procedure instead.
Companies that manufacture or trade in medicinal products and/or active pharmaceutical ingredients in the Netherlands require a manufacturing authorization or a wholesale distribution authorization. A manufacturing authorization is required for the preparation, trading in, import and export of medicinal products and/or active substances. Here, ‘preparation’ means the total or partial manufacture of medicinal products and/or active substances or the packaging or labelling thereof. ‘Importing’ means the import of medicinal products or active substances from a country outside the EEA into the Dutch territory, while ‘exporting’ means the export of medicinal products or active substances from the Dutch territory to a country outside the EEA. A wholesale distribution authorization is required for one or more activities within the wholesale business, such as procuring, holding, supplying, delivering or exporting medicinal products or active substances which are prepared or imported by a third party. It may be noted that holders of wholesale distribution authorization, other than holders of marketing authorizations, are not authorized to import medicinal products from countries outside the EEA.
Only a natural or legal person established in the Netherlands may obtain either a Dutch marketing authorization or a wholesale distribution authorization. These authorizations concern national permits, meaning that these authorizations are not automatically valid in other EU Member States. Furthermore, in the Netherlands applicants of marketing authorizations and wholesale distributions authorizations must be registered with Farmatec and comply with GDP norms.
59

Marketing Authorization Regulatory Process
Under the Centralized procedure, pharmaceutical companies submit a single marketing authorization application to the EMA, which provides the basis of a legally binding recommendation that will be provided by the EMA to the European Commission, the authorizing body for all centrally authorized products. This allows the marketing-authorization holder to market the medicine and make it available to patients and healthcare professionals throughout the EU on the basis of a single marketing authorization. EMA’s Committee for Medicinal products for Human Use or Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use carry out a scientific assessment of the application and give a recommendation on whether the medicine should be marketed or not, under any particular dosing regime. Although, under EU law, the EMA has no authority to permit marketing in the different EU countries, the European Commission is the authorizing body for all centrally authorized products, who takes a legally binding decision based on EMA’s recommendation. Once granted by the European Commission, the centralized marketing authorization is valid in all EU Member States as well as in the European Economic Area countries Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. European Commission decisions are published in the Community Register of medicinal products for human use. Once a medicine has been authorized for use in the EU, the EMA and the EU Member States constantly monitor its safety and take action if new information indicates that the medicine is no longer as safe and effective as previously thought. The safety monitoring of medicines involves a number of routine activities ranging from: assessing the way risks associated with a medicine will be managed and monitored once it is authorized; continuously monitoring suspected side effects reported by patients and healthcare professionals, identified in new clinical studies or reported in scientific publications; regularly assessing reports submitted by the Company holding the marketing authorization on the benefit-risk balance of a medicine in real life; and assessing the design and results of post-authorization safety studies which were required at the time of authorization. The EMA can also carry out a review of a medicine or a class of medicines upon request of a Member State or the European Commission. These are called EU referral procedures; they are usually triggered by concerns in relation to a medicine’s safety, the effectiveness of risk minimization measures or the benefit-risk balance of the medicine. The EMA has a dedicated committee responsible for assessing and monitoring the safety of medicines, the Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee. This ensures that EMA and the EU Member States can move very quickly once an issue is detected and take any necessary action, such as amending the information available to patients and healthcare professionals, restricting use or suspending a medicine, in a timely manner in order to protect patients.
Besides the Centralized procedure, pharmaceutical companies may also submit marketing authorization applications through the Decentralized procedure with the competent authority of a Member State. As the Centralized procedure is compulsory for medicines intended to treat specified diseases i.e. cancer, AIDS, neurodegenerative diseases and diabetes and only optional for medicines comprising of new active substances not previously approved for the EU/EEA, in all other circumstances the Decentralized procedure should be used instead if a marketing authorization is to be obtained for several EU/EEA Member States. When following the Decentralized procedure, the applicant requests one country to be the Reference Member State (“RMS”) in the procedure. After having shared draft assessment reports to which both the applicant and the competent authorities of other Member States may respond, the to be granted marketing authorization will eventually go through the Mutual recognition procedure. In the Mutual recognition procedure other Member States generally adopt the RMS’s assessment, unless there are important objections on the grounds of a potentially serious risk to public health. In such situations, further discussions will also be held in the Co-ordination group for Mutual recognition and Decentralised procedures (“CMDh”). When all Member States involved decide on a positive opinion on products in the CMDh, Dutch translations of the summary of product characteristics, package leaflet, labelling texts and mock-ups are submitted and a national marketing authorization is issued.

Compliance with Applicable Laws
The Company oversees and monitors compliance with applicable laws in each jurisdiction in which it operates. In addition to the Company’s senior executives and the employees responsible for overseeing compliance, the Company has local counsel engaged in every jurisdiction in which it operates and has received legal opinions or advice in each of these jurisdictions regarding (a) compliance with applicable regulatory frameworks, and (b) potential exposure to, and implications arising from, applicable laws in jurisdictions in which the Company has operations or intends to operate.
The Company works with third parties who require regulatory licensing to handle scheduled drugs. The Company continuously updates its compliance and channel programs to maintain regulatory standards set for drug development. The Company also works with clinical research organizations who maintain batch records and data storage for the Company’s clinical programs.
Additionally, the Company has established a Medical & Clinical Advisory Team, a Research, Clinical and Regulatory Team and a Government Relations and Communications Team with cross-functional expertise in business, neuroscience, pharmaceuticals, mental health and psychedelics to advise management.
In conjunction with the Company’s human resources and operations departments, the Company oversees and implements training on the Company’s protocols. The Company will continue to work closely with external counsel and other compliance experts, and is evaluating the engagement of one or more independent third party providers to further develop, enhance and improve its compliance and risk management and mitigation processes and procedures in furtherance of continued compliance with the laws of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates.
The programs currently in place include monitoring by executives of the Company to ensure that operations conform to and comply with required laws, regulations and operating procedures. The Company is currently in compliance with the laws and regulations in all jurisdictions and the related licensing framework applicable to its business activities.
The Company and, to its knowledge, each of its third-party researchers, suppliers and manufacturers have not received any non-compliance, citations or notices of violation which may have an impact on the Company’s licences, business activities or operations.
The Company conducts due diligence on third-party researchers, medical professionals, clinics, cultivators, processors and others as applicable, with whom it engages. Such due diligence includes but is not limited to the review of necessary licenses and the regulatory framework enacted in the jurisdiction of operation. Further, the Company generally obtains, under its contractual arrangements, representations and warranties from such third parties pertaining to compliance with applicable licensing requirements and the regulatory framework enacted in the jurisdiction of operation.
Patent Cooperation Treaty
The Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”) facilitates filing for patent recognition in multiple jurisdictions simultaneously using a single uniform patent application. 157 countries, including Canada and the United States have ratified the PCT.
61

Ultimately, patents are still granted in each country individually. As such, the PCT procedure consists of two phases: filing of an international application, and national evaluation under the patent laws in force in each country where a patent is sought.
Within 12 months of filing a provisional patent application at the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the Company may elect to file a regular utility patent application in the United States in tandem with filing a PCT application with the World Intellectual Property Office, in each case claiming priority to the provisional patent application. Within 30 months of the provisional filing date, deadlines begin for a PCT application to enter the national phase in desired jurisdictions globally, such as Canada (30 months) and Europe (31 months), in each case claiming priority to the provisional patent application.
While the Company is focused on programs using psychedelic-inspired compounds, the Company does not have any direct or indirect involvement with the illegal selling, production or distribution of any substances in the jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company is exploring drug development within approved laboratory clinical trial settings conducted within approved regulatory frameworks. Though highly speculative, should any prescription drug product be developed by the Company (which, if it does occur, would not be for several years), such drug product will not be commercialized prior to receipt of applicable regulatory approval, which will only be granted if clinical evidence of safety and efficacy for the intended use(s) is successfully developed. The Company may also employ non-prescription drugs, where appropriate.
Business Objectives of the Company
Key elements of the Company’s growth strategy include: (i) progressing its psychedelic division through the development and commercialization of key psychedelic molecules (including tryptamines and phenethylamines) and delivery mechanisms; (ii) working to develop the synthetic production of deuterated psychedelic active pharmaceutical ingredients; (iii) obtaining regulatory approval for an approved psilocybin product targeting MDD; (iv) establishing strategic partnerships to advance its scientific research and to develop patented or trade secret intellectual property for the Company’s new psychedelic chemical compounds and processes related to psychedelics; and (v) sponsoring clinical studies to determine the safety and efficacy of delivery mechanisms, chemically synthesized psychedelic compounds and screening protocols.
Production and Raw Materials
The Company has established contractual sources of synthetic GMP and non-GMP raw materials to support its development operations through licensed third-party suppliers located in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe. Such raw materials are expected to be, in general, readily available and in adequate supply to meet the Company’s need for development quantities, or custom manufactured on the Company’s behalf. The prices of research quantities of psilocybin and novel psychedelic compounds are generally higher than commercial supply prices at significantly larger scale and the Company, therefore, expects its supply prices to reduce over time. Development and production of the Company’s proprietary novel compounds is performed under confidential contractual agreements.
Foreign Operations
The Company’s management is located in Canada, Ireland, the United Kingdom and the United States led by others in local jurisdictions. The Company psilocybin raw materials are expected to be sourced from a supplier in the United States and are expected to be manufactured and packaged in FDA registered facilities in the United Kingdom. Such raw materials are expected to be sent directly to the Company’s
62

partners for research and development purposes pursuant to its corresponding agreements, subject to receipt of all necessary approvals.
The Company conducts its international operations to conform to local variations, economic realities, market customs, consumer habits and regulatory environments. The Company will modify its products (including labeling of such products) and its distribution and marketing programs in response to local and foreign legal requirements and customer preferences.
The Company’s international operations are subject to many of the same risks that its domestic operations face. These include competition and the strength of the relevant economy. In addition, international operations are subject to certain risks inherent in conducting business abroad, including foreign regulatory restrictions, fluctuations in monetary exchange rates, import-export controls and the economic and political policies of foreign governments. Government regulations in foreign countries may prevent or delay the introduction, or require the reformulation, of certain of its products. Compliance with such foreign governmental regulations is generally the responsibility of the Company’s distributors in those countries. These distributors are independent contractors whom the Company does not control. The importance of these risks increases as the Company’s international operations grow and expand. See “Risk Factors”.
Market for Products
Market Segment, Market Acceptance and Geographic Areas
The Company is focused on developing novel compounds and improving the bioavailability and pharmacokinetic profiles of existing compounds to target psychiatric and neurological conditions. The Company is focused on progressing its novel psychedelic compounds, delivery mechanisms and supportive treatment platforms.
Marketing Plan and Strategies
The Company’s marketing strategy will be initially driven through a digital marketing strategy composed of digital advertising and influencer marketing. The Company expects to also retain a sales force to complement its digital strategy by targeting wholesale and retail distribution.
Specialized Skills and Knowledge
The Company’s directors and officers possess a wide range of professional skills and experience relevant to pursuing and executing on the Company’s business strategy. Drawing on significant experience in various industries and sectors, the Company believes its management has a demonstrated track record of bringing together all of the key components for a successful psychedelic medicine company, such as strong technical skills, expertise in planning and financial controls, ability to execute on business development opportunities, and capital markets expertise. The operational skills of the Company’s management include valuable knowledge and ability to analyze demographics and consumer purchasing habits, and tailor product brands and consumer retail experiences based on relevant demographic data.
By leveraging the strengths and experiences of its management team (i.e., individuals who possess a wealth of combined knowledge and experience necessary for the research and development, sales, marketing, and distribution of psychedelic pharmaceutical products) the Company intends to, over time, establish itself as a leader in the psychedelic pharmaceutical industry. The Company will continue to build out its team with specialists on an “as-needed” basis.
63

The Company’s current directors, officers and key executives have significant collective experience with psychedelic molecules, medicinal chemistry, pre-clinical and clinical operations, clinical psychology, quality and regulatory affairs, in addition to a track record of growing pharmaceutical companies including aspects of commercial operations, securities and capital markets. Collectively, the Company believes that it has adequate access to the current and future skill sets required to grow and sustain its business.
Cyclical or Seasonality of Business
The Company’s business is not expected to be cyclical or seasonal.
Employees
At the current stage of development, the Company is focused on maintaining a lean corporate structure, utilizing a highly experienced core team of senior executives and managers, while leveraging a cost-effective ecosystem of independent contractors, consultants and advisors, on an “as needed” basis. The Company employs less than 50 current full-time staff.
Intellectual Property
Cybin has title to twenty four granted US patents and seventy four granted national (non-US) patents, including claims directed to compositions of matter and methods of use in support of its research and development and preclinical and clinical trial programs. Granted European patents are counted as a single granted patent (as opposed to multiple patents in each European territory in which the patent is in force).

Cybin’s patent applications cover a wide range of novel psychedelic compounds from different classes, including those with targeted structural modifications for improved pharmacokinetic characteristics and safety profiles without altering their receptor binding. The patent applications also cover novel synthetic routes, pharmaceutical formulations, methods of use, and methods of administration.
Additionally, the Company has entered into multiple licensing agreements that provide the Company with additional access to IP, including the acquisition of an exclusive license to a targeted class of tryptamine-based molecules from Mindset. The licensing agreements collectively provide the Company with access
74

to a broad range of preclinical molecule combinations for its library of psychedelic derivative drug development candidates.
The Company owns or has filed applications for registration of thirty-four trademarks, including APPROACH®, CYBIN®, EMBARK®, EMBRACE®, PARADIGM®, and REVOLUTIONIZING MENTAL HEALTHCARE®.
The Company’s mission to discover, develop and deploy psychedelic inspired medicines encompasses the research and development of potential new and improved psychedelic inspired medicines ranging from proprietary psychedelic compounds for use as API, specific formulations thereof, and specific uses for compounds and formulations. As the Company generates new data it will continue to file or acquire additional patent applications throughout the Company’s development program.
Environmental Protections
The Company is committed to minimizing any environmental impact of its operations and operating its business in a way that will foster sustainable use of the world’s natural resources. At this time, the Company’s business does not materially impact environmental conditions. However, prior to commencing any operations that the Company expects to impact environmental conditions, the Company will establish internal policies to comply with all applicable environmental protection laws and regulations.
The Company does not expect that there will be any financial or operational effects as a result of environmental protection requirements on its capital expenditures, profit or loss, or its competitive positions in the current fiscal year or in future years.
Competitive Conditions
The Company’s proposed development of psychoactive compounds for use in medical research will compete with other entities that are developing or supplying psychoactive compounds for use in medical research, including clinical trials.
The industry within which the Company intends to operate will become intensely competitive in all its phases, and the Company will face intense competition from other companies, some of which can be expected to have more financial resources and retail, formulation, research, processing, and marketing experience than the Company. Although the Company has access to capital, a management team with specialized skills and knowledge, and an IP portfolio that positions it well among its competitors, there can be no assurance that potential competitors of the Company, which may have greater financial, formulation, research, production, sales and marketing experience, and personnel and resources than the Company, are not currently developing, or will not in the future develop, products and strategies that are equally or more effective and/or economical as any products or strategies developed by the Company or which would otherwise render the Company’s business, products and strategies, as applicable, ineffective, or obsolete. Increased competition by larger and better financed competitors could materially and adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company. See “Risk Factors”.
75

Negative Operating Cash Flow
Since inception, the Company has had negative operating cash flow and incurred losses. The Company’s negative operating cash flow and losses may continue for the foreseeable future. The Company cannot predict when it will reach positive operating cash flow, if ever. Due to the expected continuation of negative operating cash flow, the Company will be reliant on future financings in order to meet its cash needs. There is no assurance that such future financings will be available on acceptable terms or at all. See “Risk Factors”.
RISK FACTORS
There are various risk factors that could cause the Company’s future results to differ materially from those described in this AIF. The risks and uncertainties described below are those the Company currently believes to be material, but they are not the only ones it faces. If any of the following risks, or any other risks and uncertainties that the Company has not yet identified or that it currently considers not to be material, actually occur or become material risks, the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, and consequently the price of the Common Shares, could be materially and adversely affected. The risks discussed below also include forward-looking statements and the Company’s actual results may differ substantially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. See “Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this AIF.
RISKS RELATED TO THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY
Limited Operating History
The Common Shares commenced trading on Cboe Canada on November 10, 2020 on a post-Transaction basis and therefore the Company has a limited operating history as a public company. To operate effectively, the Company will be required to continue to implement changes in certain aspects of its business, improve information systems and develop, manage and train management-level and other employees to comply with ongoing public company requirements. Failure to take such actions, or delay in implementation thereof, could adversely affect the business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations of the Company and, more specifically, could result in regulatory penalties, market criticism or the imposition of cease trade orders in respect of the Common Shares.
The Company will be subject to all of the business risks and uncertainties associated with any new business enterprise, including the risk that it will not achieve its operating goals. In order for the Company to meet future operating and debt service requirements, it will need to be successful in its growth, marketing and sales efforts. Additionally, where the Company experiences increased production and future sales, its current operational infrastructure may require changes to scale its business efficiently and effectively to keep pace with demand and achieve long-term profitability. If the Company’s products and services are not accepted by new customers, the Company’s operating results may be materially and adversely affected.
Achieving Publicly Announced Milestones
From time to time, the Company may announce the timing of certain events it expects to occur, such as the anticipated timing of results from clinical trials. These statements are forward-looking and are based on the best estimates of management at the time relating to the occurrence of such events. However, the actual timing of such events may differ from what has been publicly disclosed. The timing of events such as initiation or completion of a clinical trial, filing of an application to obtain regulatory approval, or
76

announcement of additional clinical trials for a prescription drug product candidate may ultimately vary from what is publicly disclosed. See “Commercial Scale Product Manufacturing”, “Safety and Efficacy of Products”, “Clinical Testing and Commercializing Product Candidates”, “Completion of Clinical Trials”, and “Nature of Regulatory Approvals” as discussed under this heading “Risk Factors” for further disclosure of risks and events that may affect the timing of certain events the Company may announce.
The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information or statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by-law. Any variation in the timing of previously announced milestones could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business plan, financial condition or operating results and the trading price of the Common Shares.
Speculative Nature of Investment Risk
An investment in the securities of the Company carries a high degree of risk and should be considered as a speculative investment. The Company has no history of earnings, limited cash reserves, limited operating history, has not paid dividends, and is unlikely to pay dividends in the immediate or near future.
Early Stage of the Industry and Product Development
Given the early stage of its prescription drug product development, the Company can make no assurance that its research and development programs will result in regulatory approval or commercially viable products. To achieve profitable operations, the Company, alone or with others, must successfully develop, gain regulatory approval for, and market its future products. The Company currently has no products that have been approved by Health Canada, the FDA, the MHRA, the EMA, the Pharmaceutical Drugs Directorate (formerly the Therapeutic Drugs Directorate) (the “PDD”) or any similar regulatory authority. To obtain regulatory approvals for its prescription drug product candidates being developed and to achieve commercial success, clinical trials must demonstrate that the prescription drug product candidates are safe for human use and that they demonstrate efficacy.
Many prescription drug product candidates never reach the stage of clinical testing and even those that do have only a small chance of successfully completing clinical development and gaining regulatory approval. Prescription drug product candidates can fail for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, being unsafe for human use or due to the failure to provide therapeutic benefits equal to or better than the current standard of treatment at the time of testing. Unsatisfactory results obtained from a particular study relating to a research and development program may cause the Company or its collaborators to abandon commitments to that program. Positive results of early preclinical research may not be indicative of the results that will be obtained in later stages of preclinical or clinical research. Similarly, positive results from early-stage clinical trials may not be indicative of favourable outcomes in later-stage clinical trials, and the Company can make no assurance that any future studies, if undertaken, will yield favourable results.
The early stage of the Company’s product development makes it particularly uncertain whether any of its product development efforts will prove to be successful and meet applicable regulatory requirements, and whether any of its prescription drug product candidates will receive the requisite regulatory approvals, be capable of being manufactured at a reasonable cost or be successfully marketed. If the Company is successful in developing its current and future prescription drug product candidates into approved products, it will still experience many potential obstacles, which would affect its ability to successfully market and commercialize such approved products, such as the need to develop or obtain manufacturing,
77

marketing and distribution capabilities, price pressures from third-party payors, or proposed changes in health care systems. If the Company is unable to successfully market and commercialize any of its products, its financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.
The Company can make no assurance that any future studies, if undertaken, will yield favorable results. Many companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have suffered significant setbacks in later-stage clinical trials after achieving positive results in early-stage development, and the Company cannot be certain that it will not face similar setbacks. These setbacks have been caused by, among other things, preclinical findings made while clinical trials were underway or safety or efficacy observations made in clinical trials, including previously unreported adverse events or latent defects in the manufactured drug product or the formulation or stability thereof. Moreover, preclinical and clinical data are often susceptible to varying interpretations and analyses, and many companies that believed their prescription drug product candidates performed satisfactorily in preclinical studies and clinical trials nonetheless failed to obtain Health Canada, FDA or EMA approval. If the Company fails to produce positive results in future clinical trials and other programs, the development timeline and regulatory approval and commercialization prospects for the Company’s leading prescription drug product candidates, and, correspondingly, its business and financial prospects, would be materially adversely affected.
Preclinical testing and clinical trials for the Company’s products may not achieve the desired results. The results of preclinical testing and clinical trials are uncertain. Product approvals are subject to a number of contingencies and may not be obtained in the time expected or at all. The Company’s products may not attract a following among patients, retailers and/or providers. The Company expects to face an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims, regulatory action and litigation if the products it plans to distribute are alleged to have caused loss or injury. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain or maintain product liability insurance on acceptable terms or with adequate coverage against potential liabilities.
The Company’s business relies on its ability to access, develop, and sell psilocybin, psilocin, DMT-based compounds and other psychedelic compounds. Psilocybin, psilocin, DMT-based compounds and other psychedelic compounds are controlled substances in many jurisdictions, including in Canada under Schedule III of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act and in the United States. The Company may face difficulty accessing the public capital markets in Canada as a result of the response of regulators, stock exchanges, and other market participants to the Company’s development and sale of a controlled substance. The Company may also have limited access to traditional banking services, as well as limited access to debt financing from traditional institutional lenders. The medical efficacy of psilocybin, DMT-based compounds and other psychedelic compounds has not been confirmed and requires further study and scientific rigour.
Regulatory Risks and Uncertainties
In Canada, certain psychedelic drugs, including psilocybin/psilocin, are classified as Schedule III drugs under the CDSA and as such, medical and recreational use is illegal under Canadian federal laws. In the United States, certain psychedelic drugs, including psilocybin, psilocin, DMT, and 5-Methoxy-DMT, are classified as Schedule I drugs under the CSA and the Controlled Substances Import and Export Act and as such, medical and recreational use is illegal under the U.S. federal laws. Anyone wishing to conduct research on substances listed in Schedule I under the CSA must register with the DEA and obtain DEA approval of the research proposal. The EU member states currently classify DMT as a Schedule I substance under the UN 71 and, as such, a licence is required to produce, dispense, import or export any
78

Schedule I substances, but the specific requirements vary from country to country. Currently in the Netherlands, DMT is classified as a List 1 Drug under the Dutch Opium Act and, as such, subject to express authorization being obtained, the production, trade and possession of DMT are prohibited. In the United Kingdom, “Fungus (of any kind) which contains psilocin or an ester of psilocin” is controlled as a Class A drug under the MDA and Schedule 1 drug under the MDR. As psilocybin is a phosphate ester of psilocin, even if it is isolated from psilocin, it will still be treated as a Class A drug under the MDA and as a Schedule 1 drug under the MDR. Schedule 1 drugs can only be lawfully manufactured, produced, possessed and supplied under a controlled drugs domestic licence issued by the UK Home Office.
There is no guarantee that psychedelic drugs or psychedelic inspired drugs will ever be approved as medicines in any jurisdiction in which the Company operates. All activities involving such substances by or on behalf of the Company are conducted in accordance with applicable federal, provincial, state and local laws. Further, all facilities engaged with such substances by or on behalf of the Company do so under current licences and permits issued by appropriate federal, provincial and local governmental agencies. While the Company is focused on programs using psychedelic inspired compounds, the Company does not have any direct or indirect involvement with the illegal selling, production or distribution of any substances in the jurisdictions in which it operates and does not intend to have any such involvement. However, the laws and regulations generally applicable to the industry in which the Company is involved in may change in ways currently unforeseen. Any amendment to or replacement of existing laws or regulations, including the classification or re-classification of the substances the Company is developing or working with, which are matters beyond the Company’s control, may cause the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects to be adversely affected or may cause the Company to incur significant costs in complying with such changes or it may be unable to comply therewith. A violation of any applicable laws and regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates could result in significant fines, penalties, administrative sanctions, convictions or settlements arising from civil proceedings initiated by either government entities in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, or private citizens or criminal charges.
The loss of the necessary licences and permits for any of the above scheduled drugs could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations.
The psychedelic drug industry is a fairly new industry and the Company cannot predict the impact of the ever-evolving compliance regime in respect of this industry. Similarly, the Company cannot predict the time required to secure all appropriate regulatory approvals for future products, or the extent of testing and documentation that may, from time to time, be required by governmental authorities. The impact of compliance regimes, any delays in obtaining, or failure to obtain regulatory approvals may significantly delay or impact the development of markets, its business and products, and sales initiatives and could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and operating results of the Company.
The success of the Company’s business is dependent on the reform of controlled substances laws pertaining to psilocybin. If controlled substances laws are not favourably reformed in Canada, the United States, the Netherlands, the UK, and other global jurisdictions, the commercial opportunity that the Company is pursuing may be highly limited.
The Company makes no medical, treatment or health benefit claims about the Company’s proposed products. The FDA, Health Canada, the EMA or other similar regulatory authorities have not evaluated claims regarding psilocybin, DMT, psilocybin analogues, or other psychedelic compounds. The efficacy of such products have not been confirmed by approved research. There is no assurance that the use of psilocybin, DMT, psilocybin analogues, or other psychedelic compounds can diagnose, treat, cure or
79

prevent any disease or condition. Vigorous scientific research and clinical trials are needed. The Company has not conducted clinical trials for the use of its proposed products. Any references to quality, consistency, efficacy and safety of potential products do not imply that the Company verified such in clinical trials or that the Company will complete such trials. If the Company cannot obtain the approvals or research necessary to commercialize its business, it may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s performance and operations.
Risks of Operating in European Countries
The Company is subject to additional risks related to operating in countries in Europe including: (i) differing regulatory requirements in Europe; (ii) unexpected changes in price and exchange controls and other regulatory requirements; (iii) increased difficulties in managing the logistics and transportation of collecting and shipping patient material; (iv) import and export requirements and restrictions; (v) compliance with tax, employment, immigration and labour laws for employees living or traveling abroad; (vi) foreign taxes, including withholding of payroll taxes; (vii) foreign currency fluctuations, which could result in increased operating expenses, and other obligations incident to doing business in another country; (viii) difficulties staffing and managing foreign operations; (ix) potential liability under the Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act of Canada or comparable foreign regulations; (x) challenges enforcing its contractual and intellectual property rights, especially in those European countries that do not respect and protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as Canada or the United States; (xi) production shortages resulting from any events affecting raw material supply or manufacturing capabilities abroad; and (xii) business interruptions resulting from geo-political actions, including war and terrorism.
These and other risks associated with the Company’s international operations may materially adversely affect its ability to attain or maintain profitable operations.
“Foreign Private Issuer” Status Under the U.S. Securities Laws
The Company is a “foreign private issuer”, under applicable U.S. federal securities laws, and is, therefore, not subject to the same requirements that are imposed upon U.S. domestic issuers by the SEC. Under the Exchange Act, the Company is subject to reporting obligations that, in certain respects, are less detailed and less frequent than those of U.S. domestic reporting companies. As a result, the Company does not file the same reports that a U.S. domestic issuer would file with the SEC, although the Company is required to file with or furnish to the SEC the continuous disclosure documents that it is required to file in Canada under Canadian securities laws. In addition, the Company’s officers, directors, and principal shareholders are exempt from the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Therefore, the Company’s shareholders may not know on as timely a basis when the Company’s officers, directors and principal shareholders purchase or sell Common Shares, as the reporting periods under the corresponding Canadian insider reporting requirements are longer.
As a foreign private issuer, the Company is exempt from the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act related to the furnishing and content of proxy statements. The Company is also exempt from Regulation FD, which prohibits issuers from making selective disclosures of material non-public information. While the Company complies with the corresponding requirements relating to proxy statements and disclosure of material non-public information under Canadian securities laws, these requirements differ from those under the Exchange Act and Regulation FD and shareholders should not expect to receive the same information at the same time as such information is provided by U.S. domestic companies. In addition, the Company may not be required under the Exchange Act to file annual and
80

quarterly reports with the SEC as promptly as U.S. domestic companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act.
Plans for Growth
The Company intends to continue to advance its research and development programs and operations over the next 12 to 24 months. This advancement will place a significant strain on the Company’s management systems and resources. The Company may not be able to implement its business strategy in a rapidly evolving market. In particular, the Company may be required to manage multiple relationships with various strategic industry participants and other third parties, which relationships could be strained. Similarly, an increase in the number of third-party relationships the Company has, may lead to management of the Company being unable to manage growth effectively. The occurrence of such events may result in the Company being unable to successfully identify, manage and exploit existing and potential market opportunities.
Limited Products
The Company will be heavily reliant on the production and distribution of psychedelics and related products. If they do not achieve sufficient market acceptance, it will be difficult for the Company to achieve profitability.
The Company’s revenue will be derived almost exclusively from sales of psychedelic pharmaceutical products, and the Company expects that its psychedelic pharmaceutical products will account for substantially all of its revenue for the foreseeable future. If the psychedelic pharmaceutical market declines or psychedelics fail to achieve substantially greater market acceptance than it currently enjoys, the Company will not be able to grow its revenues sufficiently for it to achieve consistent profitability.
Even if products to be distributed by the Company conform to international safety and quality standards, sales could be adversely affected if consumers in target markets lose confidence in the safety, efficacy, and quality of psychedelic pharmaceutical products. Adverse publicity about psychedelic pharmaceutical products that the Company sells may discourage consumers from buying products distributed by the Company.
Limited Marketing and Sales Capabilities
The Company will, for the immediate future, have limited marketing and sales capabilities, and there can be no assurance that it will be able to develop or acquire these capabilities at the level needed to produce and deliver for sale, through industry partners, its products in sufficient commercial quantities. Further, there can be no assurance that the Company, either on its own or through arrangements with other industry participants, will be able to develop or acquire such capabilities on a cost-effective basis, or at all. Finally, there can be no assurance that the Company’s industry partners will be able to market or sell the Company’s products in compliance with requisite regulatory protocols or on a cost-effective basis. The Company’s dependence upon third parties for the production, and marketing or sale, as applicable, of the Company’s products could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
No Assurance of Commercial Success
The successful commercialization of the Company’s products will depend on many factors, including, the Company’s ability to establish and maintain working partnerships with industry participants in order to
81

market its products, the Company’s ability to supply a sufficient amount of its products to meet market demand, and the number of competitors within each jurisdiction within which the Company may from time to time be engaged. There can be no assurance that the Company or its industry partners will be successful in their respective efforts to develop and implement, or assist the Company in developing and implementing, a commercialization strategy for the Company’s products.
No Profits or Significant Revenues
The Company has no history upon which to evaluate its performance and future prospects. The Company’s proposed operations are subject to all the business risks associated with new enterprises. These include likely fluctuations in operating results as the Company makes significant investments in research, development and product opportunities, and reacts to developments in its market, including purchasing patterns of customers, and the entry of competitors into the market. The Company will only be able to pay dividends on any shares once its directors determine that it is financially able to do so. The Company cannot make any assurance that it will be profitable in the next three years or generate sufficient revenues to pay dividends to the holders of the Common Shares.
Reliance on Third Parties for Clinical Development Activities
The Company relies and will continue to rely on third parties to conduct a significant portion of its preclinical and clinical development activities. For example, clinical development activities include trial design, regulatory submissions, clinical patient recruitment, clinical trial monitoring, clinical data management and analysis, safety monitoring and project management. If there is any dispute or disruption in its relationship with third parties, or if it is unable to provide quality services in a timely manner and at a feasible cost, the Company’s active development programs will face delays. Further, if any of these third parties fails to perform as the Company expects or if their work fails to meet regulatory requirements, the Company’s testing could be delayed, cancelled or rendered ineffective.
Risks Related to Third Party Relationships
The Company intends to enter into strategic alliances with third parties that the Company believes will complement or augment its proposed business or will have a beneficial impact on the Company. Strategic alliances could present unforeseen integration obstacles or costs, may not enhance the Company’s business, and may involve risks that could adversely affect the Company, including significant amounts of management time that may be diverted from operations in order to pursue and complete such transactions or maintain such strategic alliances. Future strategic alliances could result in the incurrence of additional debt, costs and contingent liabilities, and there can be no assurance that future strategic alliances will achieve, or that the Company’s existing strategic alliances will continue to achieve, the expected benefits to the Company’s business or that the Company will be able to consummate future strategic alliances on satisfactory terms, or at all. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition to the foregoing, the success of the Company’s business will depend, in large part, on the Company’s ability to enter into, and maintain collaborative arrangements with various participants in the psychedelic pharmaceutical industry. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to enter into collaborative arrangements in the future on acceptable terms, if at all. There can be no assurance that such arrangements will be successful, that the parties with which the Company has or may establish arrangements will adequately or successfully perform their obligations under such arrangements, that potential partners will not compete with the Company by seeking or prioritizing alternate, competitor
82

products. The termination or cancellation of any such collaborative arrangement or the failure of the Company and/or the other parties to these arrangements to fulfill their obligations could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, disagreements between the Company and any of its industry partners could lead to delays or time consuming and expensive legal proceedings, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
Reliance on Contract Manufacturers
The Company has limited manufacturing experience and relies on contract manufacturing organizations (“CMOs”) to manufacture its prescription drug product candidates for preclinical studies and clinical trials. The Company relies on CMOs for manufacturing, filling, packaging, storing and shipping of drug product in compliance with cGMP regulations applicable to its products. All applicable jurisdictions, including Health Canada, the FDA, the MHRA the EMA, and the PDD, ensure the quality of food, drug products and dietary supplements by carefully monitoring drug manufacturers’ compliance with cGMP regulations. The cGMP regulations for drugs contain minimum requirements for the methods, facilities and controls used in manufacturing, processing and packing of a drug product. There can be no assurances that CMOs will be able to meet the Company’s timetable and requirements. The Company has not contracted with alternate suppliers for drug substance production in the event that the current provider is unable to scale up production, or if it otherwise experiences any other significant problems. If the Company is unable to arrange for alternative third-party manufacturing sources on commercially reasonable terms or in a timely manner, the Company may be delayed in the development of its prescription drug product candidates. Further, CMOs must operate in compliance with cGMP and ensure that their appropriate permits and licences remain in good standing and failure to do so could result in, among other things, the disruption of product supplies. The Company’s dependence upon third parties for the manufacture of its products may adversely affect its profit margins and its ability to develop and deliver products on a timely and competitive basis.
Safety and Efficacy of Products
Before obtaining marketing approval from regulatory authorities for the sale of the Company’s prescription drug product candidates, the Company must conduct preclinical studies in animals and extensive clinical trials in humans to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the prescription drug product candidates. Clinical testing is expensive and difficult to design and implement, can take many years to complete and has uncertain outcomes. The outcome of preclinical studies and early clinical trials may not predict the success of later clinical trials, and interim results of a clinical trial do not necessarily predict final results. A number of companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have suffered significant setbacks in advanced clinical trials due to lack of efficacy or unacceptable safety profiles, notwithstanding promising results in earlier trials. The Company does not know whether the clinical trials it may conduct will demonstrate adequate efficacy and safety to result in regulatory approval to market any of its prescription drug product candidates in any jurisdiction. A major risk the Company faces is the possibility that none of its prescription drug product candidates under development will successfully gain market approval from Health Canada, the FDA, the MHRA, the EMA, the PDD or other regulatory authorities, resulting in the Company being unable to derive any commercial revenue from them after investing significant amounts of capital in their development.
Clinical trials are conducted in representative samples of the potential patient population which may have significant variability. Clinical trials are by design based on a limited number of subjects and of limited duration for exposure to the product used to determine whether, on a potentially statistically significant
83

basis, the planned safety and efficacy of any such product can be achieved. As with the results of any statistical sampling, the Company cannot be sure that all side effects of its products may be uncovered, and it may be the case that only with a significantly larger number of patients exposed to such product for a longer duration, may a more complete safety profile be identified. Further, even larger clinical trials may not identify rare serious adverse effects, or the duration of such studies may not be sufficient to identify when those events may occur. There have been products that have been approved by the regulatory authorities but for which safety concerns have been uncovered following approval. Such safety concerns have led to labelling changes or withdrawal of such products from the market, and the Company’s products may be subject to similar risks. The Company might have to withdraw or recall its products from the marketplace. The Company may also experience a significant drop in the potential future sales of its products if and when regulatory approvals for such products are obtained, experience harm to its reputation in the marketplace or become subject to lawsuits, including class actions. Any of these results could decrease or prevent any sales of the Company’s products, or substantially increase the costs and expenses of commercializing and marketing its products.
Clinical Testing and Commercializing Products
Before obtaining marketing approval from regulatory authorities for the sale of the Company’s prescription drug product candidates, it must conduct pre-clinical studies in animals and extensive clinical trials in humans to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the prescription drug product candidates. Clinical testing is expensive and difficult to design and implement, can take many years to complete and has uncertain outcomes. The outcome of pre-clinical studies and early clinical trials may not predict the success of later clinical trials, and interim results of a clinical trial do not necessarily predict final results. A number of companies in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries have suffered significant setbacks in advanced clinical trials due to lack of efficacy or unacceptable safety profiles, notwithstanding promising results in earlier trails. The Company does not know whether the clinical trials it may conduct will demonstrate adequate efficacy and safety to result in regulatory approval to market any of its prescription drug product candidates in any jurisdiction. A prescription drug product candidate may fail for safety or efficacy reasons at any stage of the testing process. A major risk the Company faces is the possibility that none of its prescription drug product candidates under development will successfully gain market approval from the FDA, or other regulatory authorities, resulting in the Company being unable to derive any commercial revenue from this business segment after investing significant amounts of capital in its development.
The Company cannot predict whether any clinical trials will begin as planned, will need to be restructured, or will be completed on schedule, or at all. The Company’s product development costs will increase if it experiences delays in clinical testing. Significant clinical trial delays could shorten any periods during which the Company may have the exclusive right to commercialize its prescription drug product candidates or allow its competitors to bring products to market before the Company, which would impair the Company’s ability to successfully commercialize its prescription drug product candidates and may harm its financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
The commencement and completion of clinical trials for the Company’s prescription drug product candidates may be delayed for a number of reasons, including but not limited, to:
•failure by regulatory authorities to grant permission to proceed or placing clinical trials on hold;
84

•suspension or termination of clinical trials by regulators for many reasons, including concerns about patient safety or failure of the Company’s CMOs to comply with cGMP requirements or latent defects in product quality;
•any changes to the Company’s manufacturing process that may be necessary or desired, delays or failure to obtain clinical supply from CMOs of the Company’s products necessary to conduct clinical trials;
•prescription drug product candidates demonstrating a lack of safety or efficacy during clinical trials, reports of clinical testing on similar technologies and products raising safety or efficacy concerns;
•clinical investigators not performing the Company’s clinical trials on their anticipated schedule, dropping out of a trial, or employing methods not consistent with the clinical trial protocol, regulatory requirements or other third parties not performing data collection and analysis in a timely or accurate manner;
•failure of the Company’s contract research organizations to satisfy their contractual duties or meet expected deadlines;
•inspections of clinical trial sites by regulatory authorities;
•regulatory authorities or ethics committees finding regulatory violations that require the Company to undertake corrective action, resulting in suspension or termination of one or more sites or the imposition of a clinical hold on the entire study;
•one or more regulatory authorities or ethics committees rejecting, suspending or terminating the study at an investigational site, precluding enrollment of additional subjects, or withdrawing its approval of the trial; or
•failure to reach agreement on acceptable terms with prospective clinical trial sites.
The Company’s product development costs will increase if it experiences delays in testing or approval or if the Company needs to perform more or larger clinical trials than planned. Additionally, changes in regulatory requirements and policies may occur, and the Company may need to amend study protocols to reflect these changes. Amendments may require the Company to resubmit its study protocols to regulatory authorities or ethics committees for re-examination, which may impact the cost, timing or successful completion of that trial. Delays or increased product development costs may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and prospects.
Prior to commencing clinical trials in Canada, the United States, the UK, the Netherlands or other jurisdictions, for any prescription drug product candidates developed by the Company, it may be required to have an IND (or equivalent) for each prescription drug product candidate and to file additional INDs prior to initiating any additional clinical trials. The Company believes that the data from its studies will support the filing of additional INDs to enable the Company to undertake additional clinical studies as it has planned. However, submission of an IND (or equivalent) may not result in the FDA (or equivalent authorities) allowing further clinical trials to begin and, once begun, issues may arise that will require the Company to suspend or terminate such clinical trials.
Additionally, even if relevant regulatory authorities agree with the design and implementation of the clinical trials set forth in an IND, these regulatory authorities may change their requirements in the future. Failure to submit or have effective INDs (or equivalent) and commence or continue clinical programs will significantly limit its opportunity to generate revenue.
85

Completion of Clinical Trials
As the Company’s prescription drug product candidates advance from preclinical testing to clinical testing, and then through progressively larger and more complex clinical trials, the Company will need to enroll an increasing number of patients that meet its eligibility criteria. There is significant competition for recruiting patients in clinical trials, and the Company may be unable to enroll the patients it needs to complete clinical trials on a timely basis or at all. The factors that affect the Company’s ability to enroll patients are largely uncontrollable and include, but are not limited to, the size and nature of the patient population, eligibility and exclusion criteria for the trial, design of the clinical trial, competition with other companies for clinical sites or patients, perceived risks and benefits of the prescription drug product candidate, and the number, availability, location and accessibility of clinical trial sites.
Commercial Grade Product Manufacturing
The Company’s prescription drug products will be manufactured in small quantities for pre-clinical studies and clinical trials by third party manufacturers. In order to commercialize its product, the Company needs to manufacture commercial quality drug supply for use in registration clinical trials. Most, if not all, of the clinical material used in phase III/pivotal/registration studies must be derived from the defined commercial process including scale, manufacturing site, process controls and batch size. If the Company has not scaled up and validated the commercial production of its product prior to the commencement of pivotal clinical trials, it may have to employ a bridging strategy during the trial to demonstrate equivalency of early-stage material to commercial drug product, or potentially delay the initiation or completion of the trial until drug supply is available. The manufacturing of commercial quality product may have long lead times, may be very expensive and requires significant efforts including, but not limited to, scale-up of production to anticipated commercial scale, process characterization and validation, analytical method validation, identification of critical process parameters and product quality attributes, and multiple process performance and validation runs. If the Company does not have commercial drug supply available when needed for pivotal clinical trials, the Company’s regulatory and commercial progress may be delayed, and it may incur increased product development costs. This may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and prospects, and may delay marketing of the product.
Nature of Regulatory Approvals
The Company’s development and commercialization activities and prescription drug product candidates are significantly regulated by a number of governmental entities, including Health Canada, the FDA, the MHRA, the EMA and the PDD. Regulatory approvals are required prior to each clinical trial and the Company may fail to obtain the necessary approvals to commence or continue clinical testing. The Company must comply with regulations concerning the manufacture, testing, safety, effectiveness, labeling, documentation, advertising, and sale of products and prescription drug product candidates and ultimately must obtain regulatory approval before it can commercialize a prescription drug product candidate. The time required to obtain approval by such regulatory authorities is unpredictable but typically takes many years following the commencement of preclinical studies and clinical trials. Any analysis of data from clinical activities the Company performs is subject to confirmation and interpretation by regulatory authorities, which could delay, limit or prevent regulatory approval. Even if the Company believes results from its sponsored clinical trials are favorable to support the marketing of its prescription drug product candidates, Health Canada, the FDA, the MHRA, the EMA, the PDD or other regulatory authorities may disagree. In addition, approval policies, regulations, or the type and
86

amount of clinical data necessary to gain approval may change during the course of a prescription drug product candidate’s clinical development and may vary among jurisdictions.
The Company has not obtained regulatory approval for any prescription drug product candidate and it is possible that none of its existing prescription drug product candidates or any future prescription drug product candidates will ever obtain regulatory approval. The Company could fail to receive regulatory approval for its prescription drug product candidates for many reasons, including, but not limited to failure to demonstrate that a prescription drug product candidate is safe and effective for its proposed indication, failure of clinical trials to meet the level of statistical significance required for approval, failure to demonstrate that a prescription drug product candidate’s clinical and other benefits outweigh its safety risks, or deficiencies in the manufacturing processes or the failure of facilities of CMOs with whom the Company contracts for clinical and commercial supplies to pass a pre-approval inspection.
A regulatory authority may require more information, including additional preclinical or clinical data to support approval, which may delay or prevent approval and the Company’s commercialization plans, or the Company may decide to abandon the development program. If the Company were to obtain approval, regulatory authorities may approve any of its prescription drug product candidates for fewer or more limited indications than the Company request, may grant approval contingent on the performance of costly post-marketing clinical trials, or may approve a prescription drug product candidate with a label that does not include the labeling claims necessary or desirable for the successful commercialization of that prescription drug product candidate. Moreover, depending on any safety issues associated with the Company’s prescription drug product candidates that garner approval, Health Canada, the FDA, the MHRA, the EMA, the PDD or other regulatory authorities may impose a risk evaluation and mitigation strategy, thereby imposing certain restrictions on the sale and marketability of such products.
If there are changes in the application of legislation, regulations or regulatory policies, or if problems are discovered with the Company products, or if one of its distributors, licensees or co-marketers fails to comply with regulatory requirements, the regulators could take various actions. These include imposing fines on the Company, imposing restrictions on the Company’s products or its manufacture and requiring the Company to recall or remove its products from the market. The regulators could also suspend or withdraw the Company’s Co-marketing authorizations, requiring it to conduct additional clinical trials, change its labeling or submit additional applications for marketing authorization. If any of these events occurs, the Company’s ability to sell its products may be impaired, and it may incur substantial additional expense to comply with regulatory requirements, which could materially adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.
Market Access and Acceptance
The Company may never have a product that is commercially successful. To date, the Company has no product authorized for marketing. The Company’s future products require further clinical investigation, regulatory review, significant market access and marketing efforts and substantial investment before it can produce any revenue. Furthermore, if approved, the Company’s product may not achieve an adequate level of acceptance by payors, health technology assessment bodies, healthcare professionals, patients and the medical community at large, and the Company may not become profitable. The level of acceptance the Company ultimately achieves may be affected by negative public perceptions and historic media coverage of psychedelic substances. Because of this history, efforts to educate the medical community and third-party payors and health technologies assessment bodies on the benefits of company’s product compounds may require significant resources and may never be successful, which would prevent the Company from generating significant revenue or becoming profitable. Market acceptance of the
87

Company’s future products by healthcare professionals, patients, healthcare payors and health technology assessment bodies will depend on a number of factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, including, but not limited to, the following:
• acceptance by healthcare professionals, patients and healthcare payors of each product as safe, effective and cost-effective;
• changes in the standard of care for the targeted indications for any product;
• the strength of sales, marketing and distribution support;
• potential product liability claims;
•the product’s relative convenience, ease of use, ease of administration and other perceived advantages over alternatives;
•the prevalence and severity of adverse events or publicity;
•limitations, precautions or warnings listed in the summary of product characteristics, patient information leaflet, package labeling or instructions for use;
•the cost of treatment with the Company’s product in relation to alternatives;
•the steps that prescribers and dispensers must take, as well as the perceived risks based upon its controlled substance status;
•the ability to manufacture the Company’s product in sufficient quantities and yields with adequate purity;
•the availability and amount of coverage and reimbursement from healthcare payors, and the willingness of patients to pay out of pocket in the absence of healthcare payor coverage or adequate reimbursement;
•the willingness of the target patient population to try, and of healthcare professionals to prescribe, the product;
•any potential unfavorable publicity, including negative publicity associated with recreational use or abuse of psilocybin, DMT-based compounds and other psychedelic compounds; and
•any restrictions on the use, sale or distribution of the Company’s future products.
If the Company’s future products fail to gain market access and acceptance, this will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s ability to generate revenue to provide a satisfactory, or any, return on the Company’s investments. Even if some products achieve market access and acceptance, the market may prove not to be large enough to allow the Company to generate significant revenue.
The Company must rely largely on its own market research to forecast sales as detailed forecasts are not generally obtainable from other sources at this early stage of the psychedelic industry. A failure in the demand for the Company’s psychedelic based products to materialize as a result of competition, technological change or other factors could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Company.
88

Unfavourable Publicity or Consumer Perception
The Company believes the psychedelic pharmaceutical industry is highly dependent upon consumer perception regarding the safety, efficacy and quality of psychedelic pharmaceutical products. Consumer perception of the Company’s psychedelic pharmaceutical products can be significantly influenced by scientific research or findings, regulatory investigations, litigation, media attention and other publicity regarding the consumption of psychedelics. There can be no assurance that future scientific research, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other research findings or publicity will be favourable to the psychedelic pharmaceutical industry or any particular product, or consistent with earlier publicity. Future research reports, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other publicity that are perceived as less favourable than, or that question, earlier research reports, findings or publicity could have a material adverse effect on the demand for the Company’s psychedelic products and the business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of the Company. The Company’s dependence upon consumer perceptions means that adverse scientific research reports, findings, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other publicity, whether or not accurate or with merit, could have a material adverse effect on the Company, the demand for the Company’s psychedelic products, and the business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of the Company. Further, adverse publicity reports or other media attention regarding the safety, efficacy and quality of psychedelic products in general, or the Company’s psychedelic products and services specifically or associating the consumption of psychedelics with illness or other negative effects or events, could have such a material adverse effect. Such adverse publicity reports or other media attention could arise even if the adverse effects associated with such products resulted from consumers’ failure to consume such products legally, appropriately or as directed.
The psychedelic medicine industry is highly dependent upon consumer perception regarding the medical benefits, safety, efficacy and quality of the psychedelic medicine distributed for medical purposes to such consumers. There can be no assurance that future scientific research or findings on the medical benefits, viability, safety, efficacy and dosing of psilocybin, DMT or isolated constituents, regulatory proceedings, litigation, media attention or other research findings or publicity will be favourable to the industry or the Company or any particular product, or consistent with earlier publicity.
Social Media
There has been a marked increase in the use of social media platforms and similar channels that provide individuals with access to a broad audience of consumers and other interested persons. The availability and impact of information on social media platforms is virtually immediate and many social media platforms publish user-generated content without filters or independent verification as to the accuracy of the content posted. Information posted about the Company may be adverse to the Company’s interests or may be inaccurate, each of which may harm the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Market Competition
The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries are intensely competitive and subject to rapid and significant technological change. The Company’s competitors include large, well-established pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology companies, and academic and research institutions developing therapeutics for the same indications the Company is targeting and competitors with existing marketed therapies. Many other companies are developing or commercializing therapies to treat the same diseases or indications for which the Company’s prescription drug product candidates may be useful. Although
89

there are no approved therapies that specifically target opioid addiction, some competitors use therapeutic approaches that may compete directly with the Company’s prescription drug product candidates.
Many of the Company’s competitors have substantially greater financial, technical and human resources than the Company does and have significantly greater experience than the Company in conducting preclinical testing and human clinical trials of product candidates, scaling up manufacturing operations and obtaining regulatory approvals of products. Accordingly, the Company’s competitors may succeed in obtaining regulatory approval for products more rapidly than the Company does. The Company’s ability to compete successfully will largely depend on:
•the efficacy and safety profile of its prescription drug product candidates relative to marketed products and other prescription drug product candidates in development;
•the Company’s ability to develop and maintain a competitive position in the product categories and technologies on which it focuses;
•the time it takes for the Company’s prescription drug product candidates to complete clinical development and receive marketing approval;
•the Company’s ability to obtain required regulatory approvals;
•the Company’s ability to commercialize any of its prescription drug product candidates that receive regulatory approval;
•the Company’s ability to establish, maintain and protect intellectual property rights related to its prescription drug product candidates; and
•acceptance of any of the Company’s prescription drug product candidates that receive regulatory approval by physicians and other healthcare providers and payers.
Competitors have developed and may develop technologies that could be the basis for products that challenge the discovery research capabilities of prescription drug product candidates the Company is developing. Some of those products may have an entirely different approach or means of accomplishing the same desired therapeutic effect than the Company’s prescription drug product candidates and may be more effective or less costly than its prescription drug product candidates. The success of the Company’s competitors and their products and technologies relative to the Company’s technological capabilities and competitiveness could have a material adverse effect on the future preclinical studies and clinical trials of the Company’s prescription drug product candidates, including its ability to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals for the conduct of such clinical trials. This may further negatively impact the Company’s ability to generate future product development programs using psychedelic based compounds.
If the Company is not able to compete effectively against its current and future competitors, the Company’s business will not grow, and its financial condition and operations will substantially suffer.
Further, there can be no assurance that potential competitors of the Company, which may have greater financial, cultivation, production, sales and marketing experience, and personnel and resources than the Company, are not currently developing, or will not in the future develop, products and strategies that are equally or more effective and/or economical as any products or strategies developed by the Company or which would otherwise render the Company’s business, products and strategies, as applicable, ineffective, or obsolete. Increased competition by larger and better financed competitors could materially and adversely affect the business, financial condition and results of operations of the Company.
90

Reliance on Key Executives and Scientists
The loss of key members of the Company’s staff, could harm the Company. The Company does not have employment agreements with all members of its staff, although such employment agreements do not guarantee their retention. The Company also depends on its scientific and clinical collaborators and advisors, all of whom have outside commitments that may limit their availability to the Company. In addition, the Company believes that its future success will depend in large part upon its ability to attract and retain highly skilled scientific, managerial, medical, manufacturing, clinical and regulatory personnel, particularly as the Company expands its activities and seeks regulatory approvals for clinical trials. The Company enters into agreements with its scientific and clinical collaborators and advisors, key opinion leaders and academic partners in the ordinary course of its business. Should key academic and scientific personnel including employees or collaborative partners who work on the development of the Company’s research activities leave, the Company’s current and future development programs may be delayed or adversely affected. Notwithstanding these arrangements, the Company faces significant competition for these types of personnel from other companies, research and academic institutions, government entities and other organizations. The Company cannot predict its success in hiring or retaining the personnel it requires for continued growth. In addition, due to limited financial resources, the Company may not be able to successfully expand its operations due to challenges in recruiting and training qualified new staff. Expansion of personnel may result in significant diversion of management time and resources. The loss of the services of any of the Company’s executive officers or other key personnel could potentially harm its business, operating results or financial condition.
Employee Misconduct
Notwithstanding having established an insider trading policy and code of ethics and business conduct, the Company is exposed to the risk of employee fraud or other misconduct. Misconduct by employees could include failures to comply with Health Canada, the FDA the MHRA the EMA the PDD, and other comparable international authorities’ regulations, provide accurate information to Health Canada, the FDA the MHRA, the EMA, and/or the PDD provide accurate information to Health Canada, the FDA, the MHRA, the EMA and the PDD, comply with manufacturing standards the Company has established, comply with federal and provincial healthcare fraud and abuse laws and regulations, report financial information or data accurately or disclose unauthorized activities to the Company. In particular, sales, marketing and business arrangements in the healthcare industry are subject to extensive laws and regulations intended to prevent fraud, kickbacks, self-dealing, and other abusive practices. These laws and regulations may restrict or prohibit a wide range of pricing, discounting, marketing and promotion, sales commission, customer incentive programs and other business arrangements. Employee misconduct could also involve the improper use of information obtained in the course of clinical trials, which could result in regulatory sanctions and serious harm to the Company’s reputation. If any such actions are instituted against the Company, and the Company is not successful in defending itself or asserting its rights, those actions could have a substantial impact on the Company’s business and results of operations, including the imposition of substantial fines or other sanctions.
Business Expansion and Growth
The Company may in the future seek to expand its pipeline and capabilities by acquiring one or more companies or businesses, entering into collaborations, or in-licensing one or more prescription drug product candidates. Acquisitions, collaborations and in-licences involve numerous risks, including, but not limited to substantial cash expenditures, technology development risks, potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities, some of which may be difficult or
91

impossible to identify at the time of acquisition, difficulties in assimilating the operations of the acquired companies, entering markets in which the Company has limited or no direct experience, and potential loss of the Company’s key employees or key employees of the acquired companies or businesses.
The Company has experience in making acquisitions, entering collaborations and in-licensing prescription drug product candidates; however, the Company cannot provide assurance that any acquisition, collaboration or in-licence will result in short-term or long-term benefits to it. The Company may incorrectly judge the value or worth of an acquired company or business or in-licensed prescription drug product candidate. In addition, the Company’s future success would depend in part on its ability to manage the rapid growth associated with some of these acquisitions, collaborations and in-licences. The Company cannot provide assurance that it would be able to successfully combine its business with that of acquired businesses, manage a collaboration or integrate in-licensed prescription drug product candidates. Furthermore, the development or expansion of the Company’s business may require a substantial capital investment by the Company.
Negative Results of External Clinical Trials or Studies
From time to time, studies or clinical trials on various aspects of breakthrough neuropsychiatry products are conducted by academic researchers, competitors or others. The results of these studies or trials, when published, may have a significant effect on the market for the breakthrough neuropsychiatry product that is the subject of the study. The publication of negative results of studies or clinical trials or adverse safety events related to the Company’s prescription drug product candidates, or the therapeutic areas in which the Company’s prescription drug product candidates compete, could adversely affect its share price and the Company’s ability to finance future development of its prescription drug product candidates, and its business and financial results could be materially and adversely affected.
Product Liability
The Company currently does not carry any product liability insurance coverage. Even though the Company is not aware of any product liability claims at this time, its business exposes itself to potential product liability, recalls and other liability risks that are inherent in the sale of consumer products. The Company can provide no assurance that such potential claims will not be asserted against it. A successful liability claim or series of claims brought against the Company could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.
Although the Company intends to obtain adequate product liability insurance, it cannot provide any assurances that it will be able to obtain or maintain adequate product liability insurance of on acceptable terms, if at all, or that such insurance will provide adequate coverage against potential liabilities. Claims or losses in excess of any product liability cover that may be obtained by the Company could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial conditional and results of operations.
Some of the Company’s agreements with third parties might require it to maintain product liability insurance. If the Company cannot obtain acceptable amounts of coverage on commercially reasonable terms in accordance with the terms set forth in these agreements, the corresponding agreements would be subject to termination, which could have a material adverse impact on its operations.
Enforcing Contracts
Due to the nature of the business of the Company and the fact that certain of its contracts involve psilocybin/psilocin, the use of which is not legal under Canadian or U.S. federal law and in certain other
92

jurisdictions, the Company may face difficulties in enforcing its contracts in Canadian or U.S. federal and state courts. The inability to enforce any of its contracts could have a material adverse effect on its business, operating results, financial condition or prospects.
In order to manage its contracts with contractors, the Company will ensure that such contractors are appropriately licensed. Were such contractors to operate outside the terms of these licenses, the Company may experience an adverse effect on its business, including the pace of development of its product.
Product and Material Recalls
Manufacturers, producers and distributors of products are sometimes subject to the recall or return of their products for a variety of reasons, including product defects, such as contamination, unintended harmful side effects or interactions with other substances, packaging safety storage deficiencies and inadequate or inaccurate labelling disclosure. If any of the Company’s products are recalled due to an alleged product defect or for any other reason, the Company could be required to incur the unexpected expense of the recall and any legal proceedings that might arise in connection with the recall. The Company may have to recall material being used in a clinical trial resulting in delays to the trial and additional manufacturing expenses, if further drug product is required. If the product is already commercialized, the Company may lose a significant amount of sales and may not be able to replace those sales at an acceptable margin or at all. In addition, a product recall may require significant management attention.
Although the Company’s suppliers have detailed procedures in place for testing its products, there can be no assurance that any quality, potency or contamination problems will be detected in time to avoid unforeseen product recalls, regulatory action or lawsuits. Additionally, if the Company is subject to recall, the image of the Company could be harmed. A recall for any of the foregoing reasons could lead to decreased demand for the Company’s products and could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition of the Company. Additionally, product recalls may lead to increased scrutiny of the Company’s operations by regulatory agencies, requiring further management attention, potential loss of applicable licences and potential legal fees and other expenses.
Distribution and Supply Chain Interruption
The Company is susceptible to risks relating to distributor and supply chain interruptions. Distribution in the U.S., Canada, the EU, the UK and other jurisdictions will be largely accomplished through independent contractors, therefore, an interruption (e.g., a labour strike) for any length of time affecting such independent contractors may have a significant impact on the Company’s ability to sell or manufacture its products. Supply chain interruptions, including a production or inventory disruption, could impact product quality and availability. Inherent to producing products is a potential for shortages or surpluses in future years if demand and supply are materially different from long-term forecasts. The Company monitors category trends and regularly reviews maturing inventory levels.
Difficulty to Forecast
The Company must rely largely on its own market research to forecast sales as detailed forecasts are not generally obtainable from other sources at this early stage of the psychedelic pharmaceutical industry. A failure in the demand for the Company’s psychedelic pharmaceutical industry products to materialize as a result of competition, technological change or other factors could have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations and financial condition of the Company.
93

Promoting the Brand
Promoting the Company’s brand will be critical to creating and expanding a customer base. Promoting the brand will depend largely on the Company’s ability to provide psychedelic pharmaceutical products to the market. Further, the Company may, in the future, introduce new products or services that its customers do not like, which may negatively affect the brand and reputation. If the Company fails to successfully promote its brand or if it incurs excessive expenses in this effort, its business and financial results from operations could be materially adversely affected.
If there are changes in the applicable regulatory framework governing the promotion, branding and marketing of the Company’s products, the Company’s ability to promote and sell its products may be impaired, and it may incur substantial additional expense to comply with regulatory requirements, which could materially adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.
Product Viability
If the Company’s psychedelic pharmaceutical products are not perceived to have the effects intended by the end user, the Company’s business may suffer. In general, psychedelic pharmaceutical products have minimal long-term data with respect to efficacy, unknown side effects and/or interaction with individual human biochemistry or other supplements or medications. As a result, the Company’s psychedelic pharmaceutical products could have certain side effects if not used as directed or if taken by an end user that has certain known or unknown medical conditions.
Success of Quality Control Systems
The quality and safety of the Company’s products are critical to the success of its business and operations. As such, it is imperative that the Company (and its service providers’) quality control systems operate effectively and successfully. Quality control systems can be negatively impacted by the design of the quality control systems, the quality of training programs and adherence by employees to quality control guidelines. Any significant failure or deterioration of such quality control systems could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and operating results.
Reliance on Key Inputs
The Company’s business is expected to be dependent on a number of key inputs and their related costs including raw materials and supplies. Any significant interruption or negative change in the availability or economics of the supply chain for key inputs could materially impact the business, financial condition and operating results of the Company. Any inability to secure required supplies and services or to do so on appropriate terms could have a materially adverse impact on the business, financial condition and operating results of the Company.
Liability Arising from Fraudulent or Illegal Activity
The Company is exposed to the risk that its employees, independent contractors, consultants, service providers and licensors may engage in fraudulent or other illegal activity. Misconduct by these parties could include intentional undertakings of unauthorized activities, or reckless or negligent undertakings of authorized activities, in each case on the Company’s behalf or in its service that violate (i) various laws and regulations, including healthcare laws and regulations, (ii) laws that require the true, complete and accurate reporting of financial information or data, (iii) the terms of the Company’s agreements with third parties. Such misconduct could expose the Company to, among other things, class actions and other
94

litigation, increased regulatory inspections and related sanctions, and lost sales and revenue or reputational damage.
The precautions taken by the Company to detect and prevent this activity may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses or in protecting the Company from governmental investigations or other actions or lawsuits stemming from a failure to be in compliance with such laws or regulations. Such misconduct may result in legal action, significant fines or other sanctions and could result in loss of any regulatory licence held by the Company at such time. The Company may be subject to security breaches at its facilities or in respect of electronic document or data storage, which could lead to breaches of applicable privacy laws and associated sanctions or civil or criminal penalties; events, including those beyond the control of the Company, may damage its operations. In addition, these events may negatively affect customers’ demand for the Company’s products. Such events include, but are not limited to, non-performance by third party contractors; increases in materials or labour costs; breakdown or failure of equipment; failure of quality control processes; contractor or operator errors; and major incidents and/or catastrophic events such as fires, explosions, earthquakes or storms. As a result, there is a risk that the Company may not have the capacity to meet customer demand or to meet future demand when it arises. Failure to comply with health and safety laws and regulations may result in additional costs for corrective measures, penalties or in restrictions on the Company’s manufacturing operations.
Operating Risk and Insurance Coverage
The Company has directors and officers insurance to protect its assets, operations and employees. The Company’s insurance is subject to coverage limits and exclusions and may not be available for the risks and hazards to which the Company is expected to be exposed. In addition, no assurance can be given that such insurance will be adequate to cover the Company’s liabilities or will be generally available in the future, or if available, that premiums will be commercially justifiable. If the Company were to incur substantial liability and such damages were not covered by insurance or were in excess of policy limits, or if the Company were to incur such liability at a time when it is not able to obtain liability insurance, its business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
Costs of Operating as Public Company
As a public company, the Company will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses. As a public company, the Company is subject to various securities rules and regulations, which impose various requirements on the Company, including the requirement to establish and maintain effective disclosure and financial controls and corporate governance practices. The Company’s management and other personnel need to devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance initiatives. Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase the Company’s legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more time-consuming and costly.
Management of Growth
The Company may be subject to growth-related risks, including capacity constraints and pressure on its internal systems and controls. The ability of the Company to manage growth effectively will require it to continue to implement and improve its operational and financial systems and to expand, train and manage its employee base. The inability of the Company to deal with this growth may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
95

Conflicts of Interest
The Company may be subject to various potential conflicts of interest because of the fact that some of its officers and directors may be engaged in a range of business activities. The Company’s executive officers and directors may devote time to their outside business interests, so long as such activities do not materially or adversely interfere with their duties to the Company. In some cases, the Company’s executive officers and directors may have fiduciary obligations associated with these business interests that interfere with their ability to devote time to the Company’s business and affairs and that could adversely affect the Company’s operations. These outside business interests could require significant time and attention of the Company’s executive officers and directors.
In addition, the Company may also become involved in other transactions which conflict with the interests of its directors and the officers who may from time-to-time deal with persons, firms, institutions or companies with which the Company may be dealing, or which may be seeking investments similar to those desired by it. The interests of these persons could conflict with those of the Company, and from time to time, these persons may be competing with the Company for available investment opportunities.
Conflicts of interest, if any, will be subject to the procedures and remedies provided under applicable laws. In particular, in the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the Company’s directors, a director who has such a conflict will abstain from voting for or against the approval of such participation or such terms. In accordance with applicable laws, the directors of the Company are required to act honestly, in good faith and in the best interests of the Company.
Foreign Operations
In addition to operations carried out in Canada and the UK, the Company intends to carry out international operations through an office in Ireland. As a result, the Company may be subject to political, economic and other uncertainties, including, but not limited to, additional implications that may have a material impact on the Company’s ability to operate in other jurisdictions, including:
•differences in the regulatory requirements for drug approvals;
•differing requirements for securing, maintaining or obtaining freedom to operate;
•the potential for reduced protection for intellectual property rights;
•challenges with compliance to different regulations and court systems of multiple jurisdictions and
•compliance with a wide variety of foreign laws, treaties and regulations;
•differing reimbursement regimes and price controls in certain international markets;
•differing labor relations that create challenges with staffing and managing international operations; and
•impacts on manufacturing capabilities leading to production shortages.
The Company’s international operations may also be adversely affected by laws and policies of Canada affecting foreign trade, taxation and investment. In the event of a dispute arising in connection with its foreign operations, the Company may be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of foreign courts or may not be successful in subjecting foreign persons to the jurisdiction of courts in Canada or enforcing Canadian judgments in foreign jurisdictions.
Similarly, to the extent that the Company’s assets are located outside of Canada, investors may have difficulty collecting from the Company any judgments obtained in the Canadian courts and predicated on the civil liability provisions of securities laws. Consequently, investors may be effectively prevented from
96

pursuing remedies against the Company under Canadian securities laws or otherwise. The Company may also be hindered or prevented from enforcing its rights with respect to a governmental entity or instrumentality because of the doctrine of sovereign immunity.
Exchange Rate Fluctuations
Due to the international scope of the Company’s current and future operations, the Company’s assets, future earnings and cash flows may be influenced by movements in exchange rates of several currencies, particularly the British Pound, the U.S. dollar, Canadian Dollar and the Euro. The Company’s reporting currency is denominated in Canadian dollars and the Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar and the majority of the Company’s operating expenses are paid in Canadian dollars. The Company may also regularly acquire services, consumables and materials in British Pounds, U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars and other currencies. Further, future revenue may be derived from abroad. As a result, the Company’s business and the price of the Company’s products may be affected by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates between the British Pound, the U.S. dollar, the Canadian dollar and other currencies, which may also have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows from period to period. Currently, the Company does not have any exchange rate hedging arrangements in place.
Cybersecurity and Privacy Risk
The Company’s information systems and any third-party service providers and vendors are vulnerable to an increasing threat of continually evolving cybersecurity risks. These risks may take the form of malware, computer viruses, cyber threats, extortion, employee error, malfeasance, system errors or other types of risks, and may occur from inside or outside of the respective organizations. Cybersecurity risk is increasingly difficult to identify and quantify and cannot be fully mitigated because of the rapidly evolving nature of the threats, targets and consequences. Additionally, unauthorized parties may attempt to gain access to these systems through fraud or other means of deceiving third-party service providers, employees or vendors. The Company’s operations depend, in part, on how well networks, equipment, IT systems and software are protected against damage from a number of threats. These operations also depend on the timely maintenance, upgrade and replacement of networks, equipment, IT systems and software, as well as pre-emptive expenses to mitigate the risks of failures. However, if the Company is unable or delayed in maintaining, upgrading or replacing IT systems and software, the risk of a cybersecurity incident could materially increase. Any of these and other events could result in information system failures, delays and/or increases in capital expenses. The failure of information systems or a component of information systems could, depending on the nature of any such failure, adversely impact the Company’s reputation and results of operations.
The Company may collect and store certain personal information about customers and are responsible for protecting such information from privacy breaches. A privacy breach may occur through procedural or process failure, information technology malfunction, or deliberate unauthorized intrusions. In addition, theft of data is an ongoing risk whether perpetrated via employee collusion or negligence or through deliberate cyber-attack. Any such privacy breach or theft could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, there are a number of laws protecting the confidentiality of certain patient health information, including patient records, and restricting the use and disclosure of that protected information. In particular, the privacy rules under the Personal Information Protection and Electronics Documents Act (Canada) (“PIPEDA”) and where applicable, provincial legislation governing personal health information, protect medical records and other personal health information by limiting their use and
97

disclosure of health information to the minimum level reasonably necessary to accomplish the intended purpose. If the Company were found to be in violation of the privacy or security rules under PIPEDA or other laws protecting the confidentiality of medical patients health information, the Company could be subject to sanctions and civil or criminal penalties, which could increase its liabilities, harm its reputation and have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
Environmental Regulation and Risks
The Company’s operations are subject to environmental regulations that mandate, among other things, the maintenance of air and water quality standards and land reclamation. They also set forth limitations on the generation, transportation, storage and disposal of solid and hazardous waste. Environmental legislation is evolving in a manner which could include stricter standards and enforcement, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. There is no assurance that future changes in environmental regulation, if any, will not adversely affect the Company’s operations.
Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions thereunder, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions. The Company may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of its operations and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations.
Amendments to current laws, regulations and permits governing psychedelics and related products, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on the Company and cause increases in expenses, capital expenditures or production costs or reduction in levels of production or require abandonment or delays in development.
Decriminalization of Psychedelics
Despite the current status of many psychotropic substances as a Schedule II and Schedule I controlled substances in the United States and Canada, respectively, there may be changes in the status of some of these substances under the laws of certain jurisdictions. Possession of psilocybin, for example, was voted to be decriminalized in May 2019 in Denver and in November 2020, voters in Oregon approved the legal medical use of “psilocybin products,” including magic mushrooms, to treat mental health conditions in licensed facilities with registered therapists (Measure 109). The legalization of psychedelics with inadequate regulatory oversight may lead to the development of psychotropic tourism in such states in clinics without proper therapeutic infrastructure or adequate clinical research. The expansion of such an industry which could put patients at risk may bring reputational and regulatory risk to the entire industry, leading to challenges for the Company to achieve regulatory approval. The legalization of psilocybin, DMT and potentially other psychotropic compounds in the future may also impact commercial sales for the Company due to a reduced barrier to entry leading to a risk of increasing competition.
Forward-looking statements May Prove to be Inaccurate
Investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve numerous assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties, of both general and specific nature, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the
98

forward-looking statements or contribute to the possibility that predictions, forecasts or projections will prove to be materially inaccurate.
Effects of Inflation
Global markets have experienced increased rates of inflation. Inflation itself, as well as certain governmental efforts to combat inflation, may have significant negative effects on any economy which the Company does business. Past governmental efforts to curb inflation have involved certain drastic economic measures, which had a materially adverse impact on the level of economic activity in these countries. Any future economic measures to curb inflation could be expected to have similar adverse effects on the level of economic activity in the market which the Company does business and, in turn, on the operations of the Company.
Political and Economic Conditions
Political and economic conditions directly affect the Company’s business and can result in a material adverse effect on the Company. Macroeconomic policies imposed by foreign governments could have significant impact on the Company. As certain global markets experience increased inflation, certain government actions to control inflation may have significant impact on the Company.
The Company cannot control or predict foreign government implementation of changes to existing policies that may impact the Company’s operations in foreign markets and, consequently, its business. The Company’s business, operating results and financial condition and prospects, as well as the market price of its securities, may be adversely affected by changes in government public policies, whether federal, state or local, that affect, without limitation:
•inflation;
•fluctuations in exchange rates;
•exchange controls and restrictions on remittances abroad;
•interest rates and monetary policies;
•import and export controls;
•liquidity of domestic capital, credit and financial markets;
•expansion or contraction of foreign economies, as measured by rates of growth in gross domestic product;
•fiscal policies; and
•other political, social and economic developments in or affecting foreign markets.
Government policies and measures to combat inflation, along with public speculation about such policies and measures, have often had adverse effects on global economies, have contributed to economic uncertainty and may increase volatility in foreign securities markets. Government action to control inflation may involve actions such as price and salary controls, currency devaluations, capital limitations, limits on imports and other actions which could significantly impact the operations of the Company.
Other policies and measures adopted by governments, include interest rate adjustments, intervention in the currency markets or actions to adjust or fix the value of the local currency may adversely affect the target market’s economy, the Company’s business and results of operations.
Uncertainty over whether federal governments will implement reforms or changes in policy or regulation affecting these or other factors in the future may affect economic performance and contribute to economic
99

uncertainty in markets that the Company operates or relies on, which may in turn have adverse effects on the Company’s operations in the market and consequently on the results of its operations.
Application and Interpretation of Tax Laws
The Company is subject to direct and indirect taxes in various foreign jurisdictions. The amount of tax that the Company pays, directly or indirectly, is subject to the interpretation of applicable tax laws in the jurisdictions of operations in which the Company has interests. The Company has taken and will continue to take tax positions based on the application and interpretation of tax laws, but tax accounting often involves complex matters and judgment is required in determining the Company’s foreign provisions for taxes and other tax liabilities. There can be no assurance that a taxing authority will not have a different interpretation of the law and assess the Company, or the operations in which the Company has interests, with additional taxes. Further, the Company’s future effective tax rates could be impacted by changes in tax laws or regulations, and changing interpretation of existing laws or regulations. Both domestic and international tax laws, and interpretation of the tax laws, are subject to change as a result of changes in fiscal policy, changes in legislation, evolution of regulation and court rulings. The application of these tax laws and related regulations is subject to legal and factual interpretation, judgment and uncertainty.
Enforcement of Civil Liabilities
Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries and assets are located outside of Canada. Accordingly, it may be difficult for investors to enforce within Canada any judgments obtained against the Company, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of applicable Canadian securities laws or otherwise. Consequently, investors may be effectively prevented from pursuing remedies against the Company under Canadian securities laws or otherwise.
The Company has subsidiaries incorporated in the United States and Ireland. It may not be possible for shareholders to effect service of process outside of Canada against the directors and officers of the Company who are not resident in Canada. In the event a judgment is obtained in a Canadian court against one or more of such persons for violations of Canadian securities laws or otherwise, it may not be possible to enforce such judgment against persons not resident in Canada. Additionally, it may be difficult for an investor, or any other person or entity, to assert Canadian securities law or other claims in original actions instituted in the United States and Ireland. Courts in such jurisdictions may refuse to hear a claim based on a violation of Canadian securities laws or otherwise on the grounds that such jurisdiction is not the most appropriate forum to bring such a claim. Even if a foreign court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that the local law, and not Canadian law, is applicable to the claim. If Canadian law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable Canadian law must be proven as a fact, which can be a time-consuming and costly process. Certain matters of procedure will also be governed by foreign law.
Pandemics, Epidemics and Other Health Risks
Pandemics, epidemics and other health risks could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business. Pandemics, epidemics and other health risks could occur, which could adversely affect the Company’s ability to conduct its operations as currently conducted, or the ability of suppliers to provide the Company with products and services needed to operate the business.
Pandemics, epidemics and other health risks could have an adverse effect on the economy and financial markets, resulting in a decline of commercial activity. Any of these events could have an adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial performance.
100

RISKS RELATED TO INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Trademark Protection
Failure to register trademarks for the Company or its products could require the Company to rebrand its products resulting in a material adverse impact on its business.
Trade Secrets
The Company relies on third parties to develop its products and as a result, must share trade secrets with them. The Company seeks to protect its proprietary technology in part by entering into confidentiality agreements and, if applicable, material transfer agreements, collaborative research agreements, consulting agreements or other similar agreements with its collaborators, advisors, employees and consultants prior to beginning research or disclosing proprietary information. These agreements typically restrict the ability of the Company’s collaborators, advisors, employees and consultants to publish data potentially relating to its trade secrets. Its academic and clinical collaborators typically have rights to publish data, provided that the Company is notified in advance and may delay publication for a specified time in order to secure any intellectual property rights arising from the collaboration. In other cases, publication rights are controlled exclusively by the Company, although in some cases the Company may share these rights with other parties. The Company may also conduct joint research and development programs which may require it to share trade secrets under the terms of research and development collaboration or similar agreements. Despite the Company’s efforts to protect its trade secrets, the Company’s competitors may discover its trade secrets, either through breach of these agreements, independent development or publication of information. A competitor’s discovery of the Company’s trade secrets may impair its competitive position and could have a material adverse effect on its business and financial condition.
Patent Law Reform
The Company’s commercial success depends in part on obtaining and maintaining patents and other forms of intellectual property rights for its current and future therapeutic candidates and associated therapies, digital therapies, methods used to manufacture the underlying therapeutic substances, and the methods for treating patients using those substances and therapies, or on licensing in such rights. Failure to obtain, maintain, protect, enforce or extend adequate patent and other intellectual property rights could materially adversely affect the Company’s ability to develop and market its current and future therapeutic candidates. The Company also relies on trade secrets and know-how to develop and maintain its proprietary and intellectual property position. Any failure to protect its trade secrets and know-how could adversely affect the Company’s operations and prospects.
The Company cannot be certain that patents will be issued or granted with respect to patent applications that are currently pending, or that issued or granted patents will not later be found to be invalid or unenforceable. The patent position of companies like the Company is generally uncertain because it involves complex legal and factual considerations. The standards applied by the UK Intellectual Property Office, the European Patent Office, the USPTO, the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (the “CIPO”) and foreign patent offices in granting patents are not always applied uniformly or predictably. For example, there is no uniform worldwide policy regarding patentable subject matter or the scope of claims allowable in pharmaceutical patents. Consequently, patents may not issue from the Company’s pending patent applications, and even if they do issue, such patents may not issue in a form that effectively prevents others from developing or commercializing competing therapies. As such, the Company does not know the degree of future protection that it will have on its proprietary therapies.
101

The patent prosecution process is expensive, complex and time-consuming, and the Company, its current or future third-party partners, licensors, licensees, or collaboration partners may not be able to prepare, file and prosecute all necessary or desirable patent applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner. It is also possible that the Company or its licensors, licensees or collaboration partners will fail to identify patentable aspects of inventions made in the course of research, development or commercialization activities before it is too late to pursue patent protection on them. In addition, although the Company enters into non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements with parties who have access to confidential or patentable aspects of its R&D output, such as its employees, corporate collaborators, outside scientific collaborators, contract manufacturers, consultants, advisors, and other third parties, any of these parties may breach the agreements and disclose such output before a patent application is filed, thereby jeopardizing the Company’s ability to seek patent protection. Furthermore, publications of discoveries in the scientific literature often lag behind the actual discoveries, and patent applications in the UK and other jurisdictions are typically not published until 18 months after filing, or in some cases not published until and unless granted. Therefore, the Company cannot be certain that it is the first to make the inventions claimed in its patents or pending patent applications, or that it was the first to file for patent protection of such inventions. Similarly, the Company cannot be certain that for any licensed patents or pending patent applications, the named applicant(s) were the first to make the inventions claimed in such patents or pending patent applications or that the named applicant(s) were the first to file for patent protection for such inventions.
Further, the issuance, scope, validity, enforceability and commercial value of the Company’s and its current or future licensors’, licensees’ or collaboration partners’ patent rights are highly uncertain. The Company and any potential licensors’ pending and future patent applications may not result in patents being issued that protect the Company’s therapies, in whole or in part, or that effectively prevent others from commercializing competitive technologies and therapies.
Moreover, in some circumstances, the Company may not have the right to control the preparation, filing and prosecution of patent applications, or to maintain such patents, should the Company’s license technology from or to third parties and would be reliant on its licensors, licensees or collaboration partners. If the Company engages with licensors, licensees or collaboration partners and they fail to establish, maintain or protect such patents and other intellectual property rights, such rights may be reduced or eliminated. If such licensors, licensees or collaboration partners were not fully cooperative or disagree with the Company as to the prosecution, maintenance or enforcement of any patent rights, such patent rights could be compromised.
The patent examination process may require the Company or its licensors, licensees or collaboration partners to narrow the scope of the claims of the Company or the Company’s licensors’, licensees’ or collaboration partners’ pending and future patent applications, which may limit the scope of patent protection that may be obtained. The Company cannot guarantee that all of the potentially relevant prior art relating to its patents and patent applications has been found. If such prior art exists, it can invalidate a patent or prevent a patent from issuing from a pending patent application.
The issuance of a patent is not conclusive as to its inventorship, scope, validity or enforceability, and the Company’s patents may be challenged in the courts or patent offices in the UK and abroad. Even if patents do successfully issue and even if such patents cover the Company’s current and future therapeutic candidates, third parties may initiate an opposition, interference, re-examination, post-grant review, inter parties review, nullification or derivation proceedings in court or before patent offices, or similar proceedings challenging the validity, enforceability or scope of such patents, which may result in the patent claims being narrowed or invalidated.
102

The Company and the Company’s licensors’, licensees’ or collaboration partners’ patent applications cannot be enforced against third parties practicing the technology claimed in such applications unless and until a patent issues from such applications, and then only to the extent the issued claims cover the technology. In addition, patents and other intellectual property rights also will not protect the Company’s current and any future therapeutic candidates if third parties, including the Company’s competitors, design around the Company’s protected technology and the Company’s current and any future therapeutic candidates without infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the Company’s patents or other intellectual property rights. Moreover, some of the Company’s patents and patent applications may in the future be co-owned with third parties. If the Company is unable to obtain an exclusive license to any such third-party co-owners’ interest in such patents or patent applications, such co-owners may be able to license their rights to other third parties, including the Company’s competitors, and the Company’s competitors could market competing therapies and technology. In addition, the Company may need the cooperation of any such co-owners of its patents in order to enforce such patents against third parties, and such cooperation may not be provided. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s competitive position, business, financial conditions, results of operations, and prospects.
Because patent applications are confidential for a period of time after filing, and some remain so until issued, the Company cannot be certain that the Company or its current or future licensors, licensees or collaborators were or will be the first to file any patent application related to a therapeutic candidate. Even where the Company has a valid and enforceable patent, it may not be able to exclude others from practicing the Company’s invention where the other party can show that they used the invention in commerce before the Company’s filing date or the other party benefits from a compulsory license. In addition, the Company may be subject to third-party challenges regarding the Company’s exclusive ownership of the Company’s intellectual property. If a third party were successful in challenging the Company’s exclusive ownership of any of the Company’s intellectual property, the Company may lose its right to use such intellectual property, such third party may be able to license such intellectual property to other third parties, including the Company’s competitors, and the Company’s competitors could market competing therapies and technology. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s competitive position, business, financial conditions, results of operations, and prospects.
As is the case with other biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, the Company’s success is heavily dependent on intellectual property rights, particularly patents. Obtaining and enforcing patents in the breakthrough neuropsychiatry industry is a technologically and legally complex process, and obtaining and enforcing breakthrough neuropsychiatry patents is costly, time consuming and inherently uncertain. Recent patent reform legislation could increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of the Company’s and its licensors’ or collaborators’ patent applications and the enforcement or defense of the Company or its licensors’ or collaborators’ issued patents.
Patent Litigation and Intellectual Property
As disclosed under Description of the Business - Intellectual Property, the Company has filed a number of provisional patent applications but even if regular patent applications are filed claiming priority to one or more of the provisional patent applications, there can be no assurance that any or all of these patent applications will issue into a valid patent. Such failure to issue could have a material adverse effect on the Company. In the event that a patent issued to the Company is challenged, any of the Company’s patents may be invalidated. The Company could also become involved in interference or impeachment proceedings in connection with one or more of its patents or patent applications to determine priority of invention.
103

Patent litigation is widespread in the pharmaceutical industry and the Company cannot predict how this will affect its efforts to form strategic alliances, conduct clinical testing, or manufacture and market any of its prescription drug product candidates that it may successfully develop. If the Company becomes involved in any litigation, interference, impeachment or other administrative proceedings, it will likely incur substantial expenses and the efforts of its technical and management personnel will be significantly diverted. The Company cannot make any assurances that it will have the financial or other resources necessary to enforce or defend a patent infringement or proprietary rights violation action. Moreover, if the Company’s products infringe patents, trademarks or proprietary rights of others, it could, in certain circumstances, become liable for substantial damages, which also could have a material adverse effect on the business of the Company, its financial condition and results of operation. Patent litigation is less likely during development as many jurisdictions contain exemptions from patent infringement for the purpose of obtaining regulatory approval of a product. Where there is any sharing of patent rights either through co-ownership or different licensed “fields of use”, one owner’s actions could lead to the invalidity of the entire patent. If the Company is unable to avoid infringing the patent rights of others, the Company may be required to seek a licence, defend an infringement action or challenge the validity of the patents in court. Such results could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Regardless of the outcome, patent litigation is costly and time consuming. In some cases, the Company may not have sufficient resources to bring these actions to a successful conclusion, and, even if the Company is successful in these proceedings, it may incur substantial costs and divert management time and attention in pursuing these proceedings, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Any infringement or misappropriation of the Company’s intellectual property could damage its value and limit its ability to compete. In addition, the Company’s ability to enforce and protect its intellectual property rights may be limited in certain countries outside the U.S., which could make it easier for competitors to capture market position in such countries by utilizing technologies that are similar to those developed or licensed by the Company. Competitors may also harm the Company’s sales by designing products that mirror the capabilities of its products or technology without infringing on its intellectual property rights. If the Company does not obtain sufficient protection for its intellectual property, or if it is unable to effectively enforce its intellectual property rights, its competitiveness could be impaired, which would limit its growth and future revenue. The Company may also find it necessary to bring infringement or other actions against third parties to seek to protect its intellectual property rights. Litigation of this nature, even if successful, is often expensive and time- consuming to prosecute and there can be no assurance that the Company will have the financial or other resources to enforce its rights or be able to enforce its rights or prevent other parties from developing similar technology or designing around its intellectual property.
The Company is not aware of any infringement by it of any person’s or entity’s intellectual property rights. In the event that products sold by the Company are deemed to infringe upon the patents or proprietary rights of others, the Company could be required to modify its products or obtain a licence for the manufacture and/or sale of such products or cease selling such products. In such event, there can be no assurance that the Company would be able to do so in a timely manner, upon acceptable terms and conditions, or at all, and the failure to do any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s business. If the Company’s products or proposed products are deemed to infringe or likely to infringe upon the patents or proprietary rights of others, the Company could be subject to injunctive relief and, under certain circumstances, become liable for damages, which could also have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and its financial condition.
104

Protection of Intellectual Property
The Company will be able to protect its intellectual property from unauthorized use by third parties only to the extent that the Company’s proprietary technologies, key products and any future products are covered by valid and enforceable intellectual property rights including patents or are effectively maintained as trade secrets and provided the Company has the funds to enforce its rights, if necessary.
To protect the Company’s competitive position, the Company may from time to time need to resort to litigation in order to enforce or defend any patents or other intellectual property rights owned by or licensed to the Company from time to time, or to determine or challenge the scope or validity of patents or other intellectual property rights of third parties. Enforcement of intellectual property rights is difficult, unpredictable and expensive, and many of the Company’s or the Company’s licensors’ or collaboration partners’ adversaries in these proceedings may have the ability to dedicate substantially greater resources to prosecuting these legal actions than the Company or the Company’s licensors or collaboration partners can. Accordingly, despite the Company’s or the Company’s licensors’ or collaboration partners’ efforts, the Company or the Company’s licensors or collaboration partners may not prevent third parties from infringing upon, misappropriating or otherwise violating intellectual property rights. In the event that products sold by the Company own or control, particularly in countries where the laws may not protect those rights as fully as in the UK, EU, the US and Canada. The Company may fail in enforcing its rights, in which case the Company’s competitors and other third parties may be permitted to use the Company’s therapies without payment to the Company.
In addition, litigation involving the Company’s licensed patents carries the risk that one or more of the Company’s licensed patents will be narrowed, held invalid (in whole or in part, on a claim-by-claim basis) or held unenforceable. Such an adverse court ruling could allow third parties to commercialize the Company’s therapies, and then compete directly with the Company, without payment to the Company.
If the Company were to initiate legal proceedings against a third party to enforce a patent covering one of the Company’s investigational therapies, the defendant could counterclaim that the Company’s patent is invalid or unenforceable. In patent litigation in the UK, EU, the US or Canada, defendant counterclaims alleging invalidity or unenforceability are commonplace. A claim for a validity challenge may be based on failure to meet any of several statutory requirements, for example, lack of novelty, obviousness or non-enablement. A claim for unenforceability assertion could be an allegation that someone connected with prosecution of the patent withheld relevant information from the UK Intellectual Property Office, European Patent Office, the USPTO, the CIPO or made a misleading statement, during prosecution. Third parties may also raise challenges to the validity of the Company’s patent claims before administrative bodies in the US or abroad, even outside the context of litigation. Such mechanisms include re-examination, post-grant review, inter partes review, interference proceedings, derivation proceedings, and equivalent proceedings in foreign jurisdictions (i.e., opposition proceedings). Such proceedings could result in the revocation of, cancellation of, or amendment to the Company’s patents in such a way that they no longer cover the Company’s current or any future therapeutic candidates. The outcome following legal assertions of invalidity and unenforceability during patent litigation or other proceedings is unpredictable. With respect to the validity question, for example, the Company cannot be certain that there is no invalidating prior art, of which the Company and the patent examiner were unaware during prosecution. If a defendant or third party were to prevail on a legal assertion of invalidity or unenforceability, the Company would lose at least part, and perhaps all, of the patent protection on the Company’s current or one or more of any future therapeutic candidates. Such a loss of patent protection could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business financial condition, results of
105

operations, and prospects. Further, litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of management resources, regardless of the outcome, and this could harm the Company’s business and financial results.
Third-Party Licences
A substantial number of patents have already been issued to other biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. To the extent that valid third-party patent rights cover the Company’s products or services, the Company or its strategic collaborators would be required to seek licences from the holders of these patents in order to manufacture, use or sell these products and services and payments under them would reduce the Company’s profits from these products and services. The Company is currently unable to predict the extent to which it may wish or be required to acquire rights under such patents, the availability and cost of acquiring such rights and whether a licence to such patents will be available on acceptable terms or at all. There may be patents in the U.S. or in foreign countries or patents issued in the future that are unavailable to licence on acceptable terms. The Company’s inability to obtain such licences may hinder or eliminate its ability to manufacture and market its products.
Further, if the Company obtains third-party licences but fails to pay annual maintenance fees, development and sales milestones, or it is determined that the Company does not use commercially reasonable efforts to commercialize licensed products, the Company could lose its licences which could have a material adverse effect on its business and financial condition.
Periodic maintenance and annuity fees on any issued patent are due to be paid to the UK Intellectual Property Office, the European Patent Office, the USPTO, the CIPO and foreign patent agencies in several stages over the lifetime of the patent. The European Patent Office, the USPTO, the CIPO and various foreign governmental patent agencies also require compliance with a number of procedural, documentary, fee payment and other similar provisions during the patent application process. In certain circumstances, the Company may rely on collaboration partners to pay these fees due to US and comparable foreign patent agencies and take the necessary action to comply with such requirements with respect to the Company’s intellectual property. While an inadvertent lapse can in many cases be cured by payment of a late fee or by other means in accordance with the applicable rules, there are situations in which noncompliance can result in abandonment or lapse of the patent or patent application, resulting in partial or complete loss of patent rights in the relevant jurisdiction. Non-compliance events that could result in abandonment or lapse of a patent or patent application include failure to respond to official actions within prescribed time limits, non-payment of fees and failure to properly legalize and submit formal documents. If the Company, its licensors or collaboration partners fail to maintain the patents and patent applications covering the Company’s investigational therapies, third parties, including its competitors might be able to enter the market with similar or identical therapies or technologies, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.
FINANCIAL AND ACCOUNTING RISKS
Substantial Number of Authorized but Unissued Common Shares
The Company has an unlimited number of Common Shares that may be issued by the Board without further action or approval of the Shareholders. While the Board will be required to fulfill its fiduciary obligations in connection with the issuance of such Common Shares, the Common Shares may be issued in transactions with which not all of the shareholders of the Company agree, and the issuance of such Common Shares will cause dilution to the ownership interests of the shareholders of the Company.
106

Dilution
The Company may issue additional Common Shares in subsequent offerings (including through the sale of securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares) and on the exercise of stock options or other securities exercisable for Common Shares. The Company cannot predict the size of future issuances of Common Shares or the effect that future issuances and sales of Common Shares will have on the market price of the Common Shares. Issuances of a substantial number of additional Common Shares, or the perception that such issuances could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for the Common Shares. With any additional issuance of Common Shares, investors will suffer dilution to their voting power and the Company may experience dilution in its earnings per share.
Negative Cash Flow from Operating Activities
The Company has had negative cash flow from operating activities since inception. Drug development involves long lead times, is very expensive and involves many variables of uncertainty. As such, significant capital investment will be required to achieve the Company’s existing plans. The Company’s net losses have had and will continue to have an adverse effect on, among other things, shareholder equity, total assets and working capital. The Company expects that losses may fluctuate from quarter to quarter and year to year, and that such fluctuations may be substantial based on the stage of development of its principal programs. The Company cannot predict when it will become profitable, if at all. Accordingly, the Company may be required to obtain additional financing in order to meet its future cash commitments.
Additional Capital Requirements
As a research and development company, the Company expects to spend substantial funds to continue the research, development and testing of its prescription drug product candidates and to prepare to commercialize products subject to applicable regulatory approval. Substantial additional financing may be required if the Company is to be successful in continuing to develop its business and its products. No assurances can be given that the Company will be able to raise the additional capital that it may require for its anticipated future development. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to investors and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. There is no assurance that additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing as needed, it may be required to reduce the scope of its operations or anticipated expansion. The Company’s ability to successfully raise additional capital and maintain liquidity may by impaired by factors outside of its control, such as a shift in consumer attitudes towards certain therapeutic methods or a downturn in the economy.
Heightened regulatory scrutiny could have a negative impact on the Company’s ability to raise capital. The Company’s business activities rely on developing laws and regulations in multiple jurisdictions. It is impossible to determine the extent of the impact of any new laws, regulations or initiatives that may be proposed, or whether any proposals will become law. The regulatory uncertainty surrounding the Company’s current or any future products may adversely affect the Company’s business and operations, including without limitation, the Company’s ability to raise additional capital.
In addition, the Company may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other known or unknown factors in achieving its business objectives. The Company will eventually need to transition from a company with a development focus to a company capable of supporting commercial activities. The Company may not be successful in such a transition.
107

Lack of Significant Product Revenue
To date, the Company has generated little product revenue and cannot predict when and if it will generate significant product revenue. The Company’s ability to generate significant product revenue and ultimately become profitable depends upon its ability, alone or with partners, to successfully develop its prescription drug product candidates, obtain regulatory approval and commercialize products, including any of its current prescription drug product candidates or other prescription drug product candidates that it may develop, in-license or acquire in the future. The Company does not anticipate generating revenue from the sale of products for the foreseeable future. The Company expects its research and development expenses to increase in connection with its ongoing activities, particularly as it advances its prescription drug product candidates through clinical trials.
Estimates or Judgments Relating to Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the International Financial Reporting Standards requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, as provided in the notes to the financial statements of the Company, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets, liabilities, equity, revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Company’s operating results may be adversely affected if the assumptions change or if actual circumstances differ from those in the assumptions, which could cause its operating results to fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in the share price of the Company. Significant assumptions and estimates used in preparing the financial statements include those related to income tax credits receivable, share based payments, impairment of non-financial assets, fair value of biological assets, as well as cost recognition.
Inadequate Internal Controls
If the Company fails to maintain an effective system of internal controls, the Company might not be able to report its financial results accurately or prevent misstatement; and in that case, the Company’s shareholders could lose confidence in its financial reporting, which would harm its business and could negatively impact the value of its shares. While the Company believes that it has sufficient personnel and review procedures to allow it to maintain an effective system of internal controls, there can be no assurance that the Company will always successfully detect misstatements or implement necessary improvements in a timely fashion.
RISKS RELATED TO THE COMMON SHARES
Market for the Common Shares
There can be no assurance that an active trading market for the Common Shares will develop or, if developed, that any market will be sustained. The Company cannot predict the prices at which the Common Shares will trade. Fluctuations in the market price of the Common Shares could cause an investor to lose all or part of its investment in Common Shares. Factors that could cause fluctuations in the trading price of the Common Shares include: (i) announcements of new offerings, products, services or technologies; commercial relationships, acquisitions or other events by the Company or its competitors; (ii) price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market from time to time; (iii) significant volatility in the market price and trading volume of companies commercializing psychedelic pharmaceuticals; (iv) fluctuations in the trading volume of the Common Shares or the size of the
108

Company’s public float; (v) actual or anticipated changes or fluctuations in the Company’s results of operations; (vi) whether the Company’s results of operations meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors; (vii) actual or anticipated changes in the expectations of investors or securities analysts; (viii) litigation involving the Company, its industry, or both; (ix) regulatory developments; (x) general economic conditions and trends; (xi) major catastrophic events; (xii) escrow releases, sales of large blocks of the Common Shares; (xiii) departures of key employees or members of management; or (xiv) an adverse impact on the Company from any of the other risks cited herein.
Significant Sales of the Common Shares
Although Common Shares held by existing shareholders of the Company will be freely tradable under applicable securities legislation, the Common Shares held by the Company’s directors, executive officers, Control persons and certain other security holders may be subject to contractual lock-up restrictions and may also be subject to escrow restrictions pursuant to the policies of Cboe Canada. Sales of a substantial number of the Common Shares in the public market after the expiry of lock-up or escrow restrictions, or the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of the Common Shares and may make it more difficult for investors to sell Common Shares at a favourable time and price.
Volatile Market Price for the Common Shares
The securities market in Canada has experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market prices of securities of many companies have experienced wide fluctuations in price which have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. There can be no assurance that continual fluctuations in price will not occur. It may be anticipated that any market for the Common Shares will be subject to market trends generally, notwithstanding any potential success of the Company. The value of the Common Shares distributed hereunder will be affected by such volatility.
The volatility of the Common Shares may affect the ability of holders to sell the Common Shares at an advantageous price or at all. Market price fluctuations in the Common Shares may be adversely affected by a variety of factors relating to the Company’s business, including fluctuations in the Company’s operating and financial results, such results failing to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors and downward revisions in securities analysis’ estimates in connection therewith, sales of additional Common Shares, governmental regulatory action, adverse change in general market conditions or economic trends, acquisitions, dispositions or other material public announcements by the Company or its competitors, along with a variety of additional factors, including, without limitation, those set forth under the heading “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information”. In addition, the market price for securities on stock markets, including Cboe Canada is subject to significant price and trading fluctuations. These fluctuations have resulted in volatility in the market prices of securities that often has been unrelated or disproportionate to changes in operating performance. These broad market fluctuations may materially adversely affect the market price of the Company.
Additionally, the value of the Common Shares is subject to market value fluctuations based upon factors that influence the Company’s operations, such as legislative or regulatory developments, competition, technological change and changes in interest rates or foreign exchange rates. There can be no assurance that the market price of the Common Shares will not experience significant fluctuations in the future, including fluctuations that are unrelated to the Company’s performance.
109

Tax Issues
There may be income tax consequences in relation to the Common Shares, which will vary according to circumstances. Independent advice from tax and legal advisers should be obtained.
No Dividends
The Company’s current policy is, and will be, to retain earnings to finance the development and enhancement of its products and to otherwise reinvest in the Company. Therefore, the Company does not anticipate paying cash dividends on the Common Shares in the foreseeable future. The Company’s dividend policy will be reviewed from time to time by the Board in the context of its earnings, financial condition and other relevant factors. Until the time that the Company does pay dividends, which it might never do, its shareholders will not be able to receive a return on their Common Shares unless they sell them.
DIVIDEND AND DISTRIBUTIONS
The Company does not currently intend to declare any dividends payable to the holders of the Common Shares. The Company has no restrictions on paying dividends, but if the Company generates earnings in the foreseeable future, it expects that they will be retained to finance growth. The Board will determine if and when dividends should be declared and paid in the future based upon the Company’s financial position at the relevant time.
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STRUCTURE
As of the date of this AIF, the authorized share capital of the Company consists of an unlimited number of Common Shares of which 23,023,631 are issued and outstanding, and an unlimited number of preferred shares, issuable in series, none of which are issued and outstanding.
In addition, the Company has agreed to issue Common Shares in connection with the Adelia Transaction. The Common Shares are issuable upon exchange of Class B Shares in the capital of Cybin U.S. on the basis of 0.26316 Common Shares for 1 Class B Share, subject to customary adjustments. The Adelia Shareholders are also entitled to Class B Shares upon the occurrence of certain milestones. No Class B Shares were exchangeable prior to the first anniversary of closing of the Adelia Transaction, and not more than: (i) 33 1/3% of the Class B Shares were exchangeable prior to the second anniversary of the Adelia Transaction; and (ii) 66 2/3% of the Class B Shares were exchangeable prior to the third anniversary of the Adelia Transaction. Currently, 100% of the Class B Shares are exchangeable. As at March 31, 2025, 36,084.7 Class B Shares were outstanding and are exchangeable for a total of 9,496 Common Shares. As of the date of this AIF, all of the milestones have been completed and 1,591,625.3 Class B Shares, have been issued to the Adelia Shareholders, with 1,555,540.6 of the Class B Shares having been exchanged into Common Shares. For further information see “General Development of the Business – Three Year History” and “Prior Sales – Exchangeable Securities”.
Holders of Common Shares are entitled to one vote for each Common Share held at all meetings of shareholders of the Company, to receive dividends if, as and when declared by the Board, and to participate ratably in any distribution of property or assets upon the liquidation, winding-up or other dissolution of the Company. The Common Shares carry no pre-emptive rights, conversion or exchange rights, or redemption, retraction, repurchase, sinking fund or purchase fund provisions. There are no provisions requiring a holder of Common Shares to contribute additional capital, and no restrictions on
110

the issuance of additional securities by the Company. There are no restrictions on the repurchase or redemption of Common Shares by the Company except to the extent that any such repurchase or redemption would render the Company insolvent.
The aim of the Equity Incentive Plan is to attract and retain employees, directors and consultants, and to ensure that interests of key persons are aligned with the success of the Company and its affiliates. The maximum number of options to purchase Common Shares reserved for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan pursuant to options not intended as incentive stock options shall be 20% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares from time to time, on a non-diluted basis. The maximum number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan pursuant to incentive stock options is 3,998,381. For the avoidance of doubt, long-term incentive options are excluded from the Equity Incentive Plan maximum. Common Shares in respect of Options that have been exercised, cancelled, surrendered, or terminated or that expire without being exercised shall again be available for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan.
MARKET FOR SECURITIES
Trading Price and Volume

Board of Directors & Management

INSIDER TRADING POLICY AND CODE OF ETHICS AND BUSINESS CONDUCT
Insider Trading Policy
The Company has adopted an insider trading policy to set forth basic guidelines for trading in the Company’s securities (including, without limitation, its Common Shares) to avoid any situation that might have the potential to damage the Company’s reputation or which could constitute a violation of federal or provincial securities law by the Company, its officers, directors, employees, consultants, affiliates and certain family members of such individuals (“Insiders”). Under this policy, Insiders are prohibited from trading in Common Shares and other securities on the basis of material, non-public information relating to the Company until after the information has been disclosed to the public or during a blackout period.
The obligation not to trade on inside information applies not only to the Insiders, but also to persons who obtain such information from Insiders and use it to their advantage. Thus, liability may be imposed upon the Company, its Insiders and also outsiders who are the source of leaks of material information not yet disclosed to the public and the leaks coincide with purchases or sales of the Company’s securities by such insiders, outsiders or by “tippees”.
In order to provide a degree of certainty as to when insider trading is permissible, the policy imposes mandatory blackout periods during the period commencing on the first day following the end of each fiscal quarter or year-end and ending at the close of business on the first trading day following the
123

dissemination by the Company of such quarterly and annual results. In addition, no Insider is permitted to trade any securities of the Company until two trading days after the issuance of any news release in which material information is released to the public. The Company may, from time to time, issue a general blackout period for a specific or indefinite period covering Insiders or specific employees or groups.
The policy also outlines the Company’s reporting obligations for changes in Common Shares owned by Insiders as well as the penalties for violating such policy and applicable laws.
Code of Business Conduct
The Company has adopted a Code of Business Conduct (the “Code”). The Code sets forth standards designed to reasonably deter wrongdoing, promote honest and ethical conduct, promote prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code and promote accountability. All personnel, in discharging their duties, must comply with applicable laws and regulations, the rules of the stock exchange(s) on which the Common Shares are listed as well as the Company’s internal policies.
The Code sets the expectation that personnel learn about laws, rules and regulations that affect what they do at the Company, and raise any questions concerning the applicability, existence or interpretation of any law or regulation or conduct with their supervisor or the legal department of the Company. The Code prohibits personnel from making or participating in making any payments designed to cause or improperly influence the decisions of an individual, a company or a governmental official to act in a way that gives the Company or its personnel an advantage or soliciting, encouraging or actually receiving any bribe or other payment, contribution, gifts or favor that could influence your or another’s decision.
The Code encourages personnel to report any actual or suspected fraud or securities law violations to the Chief Compliance Officer. The Code mandates a safe work environment and a no tolerance policy towards harassment and violence in the workplace. The Code provides guidance on avoiding conflicts of interest and acting in the best interest of the Company. The Code also outlines the requirements or personnel as it relates to disclosure of Company information, confidentiality and maintaining the integrity of the Company’s books and records and intellectual property.
