Mydecine raises much-needed capital: With the markets in an extended funk, we’ve been covering the issue of dwindling cash reserves. Many of our favorite psychedelic medicine firms are feeling the capital squeeze, and investors are waiting to see who will be able to weather this period of unfavorable market conditions and raise enough cash to continue their work.
Mydecine is one of the players with a very promising pipeline but with cash reserves in need of some topping up. Seems they’ve been working to get things in order, with Mydecine Announces Reverse Stock-Split and the news of a previous, smaller capital raise.
Today Mydecine announced the closing of a larger capital raise — they issued 2,447,130 shares at a price of $1.15, for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,814,199.50 (this was the closing of their previously announced offering of up to $4 million).
This is nearly $3 million in much-needed capital, and should help solidify things while they get their developmental projects underway, including promising Phase 2 trial for smoking cessation with Johns Hopkins.
See the full press release below and stay tuned for more on this.
