Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - December 17, 2024) - InMed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: INM) ("InMed" or the "Company"), a pharmaceutical company focused on developing a pipeline of proprietary small molecule drug candidates for diseases with high unmet medical needs, announces it entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the "SEPA") with YA II PN, LTD (the "Investor"), an investment fund managed by Yorkville Advisors Global LP, a global investment manager, on December 13, 2024 (the "Effective Date") to sell up to $10 million in the aggregate of the Company's common shares, no value (the "Common Shares"), at any time during the 36-month period following the Effective Date of the SEPA, subject to the effectiveness of a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and other conditions set forth in the SEPA.
"This equity facility is a key component of our financing strategy, offering both flexibility and extended runway to accelerate our pharmaceutical programs and other business development initiatives," said Eric A. Adams, Chief Executive Officer of InMed. "This approach allows the Company to raise capital on an as-needed basis, maintaining control over both the timing and the amount. We are confident that Yorkville Advisors will be a valuable financial partner for our continued growth."
The total number of Common Shares issuable under the terms of the SEPA is limited to a number equivalent to 19.99% of the outstanding Common Shares as of the Effective Date unless certain pricing conditions are met, which could have the effect of limiting the total proceeds made available to the Company under the SEPA. In addition, the issuance of Common Shares under the SEPA is subject to further limitations, including that the Common Shares beneficially owned by the Investor and its affiliates will not exceed 9.99% in the aggregate.
Common Shares issued and sold to the Investor under the SEPA will be priced at 97% of the Market Price (as defined in the SEPA) during a specified three-day pricing period. InMed reserves the right to set a minimum acceptable price for these Common Share issuances.
For further information on the SEPA, including important terms and conditions, please see the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company's Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time.
