TORONTO, May 11, 2020 /CNW/ -- Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc.

Pursuant to the underwriting agreement with Eight Capital (the "Underwriter"), the Underwriter has agreed to purchase, as sole bookrunner and underwriter, 21,699,000 units of the Company (the "Units"), on a "bought deal" basis, at a price per Unit of $0.53 CAD (the "Issue Price") for gross proceeds of $11,500,470.

The Company has also granted the Underwriter an over-allotment option to purchase up to an additional 15% of the Units at the Issue Price, exercisable in whole or in part, at any time on or prior to the date that is 30 days following the closing of the Offering.
