We’ve been reporting on the apparent troubles over at Mydecine. The company is going through some serious ups and downs, with the majority of the board resigning and cash reserves dwindling (see Hanging On or Closing Shop? Mydecine Announces $245K Financing). Many commentators are predicting that the end is near — so what to make of yesterday’s news?
Mydecine has signed a letter of intent for the sale of its digital technology subsidiary, Mindleap Health to PanGenomic Health for $4,000,000, payment to be issued in shares of PanGenomic.
Mydecine says it’s cutting costs and narrowing its scope, focusing on its drug development programs (which do have potential). Let’s see if the proceeds from this sale will be used to re-focus on their clinical trials, or if this was just a move to liquidate some final assets…
Stay tuned for more on this story as it develops.
Mydecine Innovations Group Signs a Letter of Intent to Sell its Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, Mindleap Health Inc.
DENVER, Sept. 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mydecine Innovations Group Inc. (“Mydecine” or the “Company”) (NEO:MYCO) (OTC:MYCOF) (FSE:0NFA), a biotechnology company engineering the next wave of innovative medications and treatment protocols to directly address mental health with a particular emphasis on addiction and PTSD, is pleased to announce that the company has signed an LOI for the sale of its digital technology subsidiary, Mindleap Health Inc. to PanGenomic Health Inc. (“Pangenomic”).
“We are extremely pleased with what we have accomplished with Mindleap Health,” said Josh Bartch, CEO, and Chairman of Mydecine. “We have spent significant time and resources over the past two years developing a truly world-class mental health platform that is original, built from the ground up, intuitive, and scalable, all while addressing some of the world’s most pressing mental health issues.”
The LOI contemplates that the Company will sell all of Mindleap’s outstanding shares to Pangenomic for a purchase price of C$4,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”), payable by the issuing of units (each a “Unit”) at an agreed-upon price of C$0.20 per Unit (the “Unit Price”), or such higher price as the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) may require. Each Unit comprises one Class A Common Share of PanGenomic and one share purchase warrant (each a “Unit Warrant”) to purchase one additional Share (a “Unit Warrant Share”) for C$0.30 per Unit Warrant Share, or such larger amount as the CSE may require, for 24 months from the closure (“Closing”) of the purchase and sale of Mindleap Shares. In addition to the purchase and sale of Mindleap Shares at the Purchase Price, PanGenomic and the Company will enter into a transition services agreement whereby PanGenomic will engage the Company to assist in the transition, transfer, and integration of Mindleap technologies into PanGenomic’s technology platform (the “Services”) for two months following the Closing. In return for the Services, PanGenomic shall pay the Company a monthly consulting fee of $50,000 (C$100,000 total), payable at the Closing and on the one-month anniversary of the closing date.
“People are assuming more control over their personal health decisions, and are interested in evidence-based information about novel treatments for mental health conditions,” said Robert Nygren, Executive Chair of PanGenomic Health. “We believe that the team at Mindleap Health has developed an extremely user-friendly and professional app that connects consumers with trusted information about the emerging field of psychedelic-assisted therapy and qualified health practitioners.”
“Given the recent narrowing of Mydecine’s business scope, we needed to find a group that we believe is capable of continuing the vision of Mindleap and taking it to the next level,” said Mr. Bartch. “We believe the PanGenomic Group is that group. Mindleap has over 40,000 organic downloads, and we believe this app has the potential to reach millions of users.”
