TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cybin Inc. (NYSE American:CYBN) (Cboe Canada CA:CYBN) (“Cybin” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage breakthrough neuropsychiatry company committed to revolutionizing mental healthcare by developing new and innovative next-generation treatment options, today reported unaudited financial results for its third quarter ended December 31, 2024, and recent business highlights.

“As we advance our lead clinical programs, CYB003 and CYB004, our focus in 2025 remains on continued successful execution,” said Doug Drysdale, Chief Executive Officer of Cybin. “With the initiation of PARADIGM, our multinational pivotal Phase 3 program evaluating CYB003 for the adjunctive treatment of MDD, we look forward to a rigorous investigation and to confirming the data from our Phase 2 study in a larger patient population. We anticipate total enrollment of roughly 550 patients across over 40 sites in the United States and Europe. In addition, given CYB003’s Breakthrough Therapy Designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, we see an opportunity to validate our results to-date and to potentially change the treatment landscape in depression away from daily dosing and toward more intermittent treatments”.

“Our expanded drug development team has decades of experience overseeing therapeutics through the regulatory process through to launch and are well-versed in the complexities of this type of research. Energized by the potential of these new treatments, we aim to carry forward the momentum from last year’s clinical achievements as we plan for the next set of milestones,” concluded Drysdale.

Recent Business and Pipeline Highlights:

Launched strategic clinical site partnerships to support PARADIGM. Strategic partnership agreements are expected to facilitate collaboration among sites, cultivate long-term partnerships, enhance efficiency in trial operations, and improve overall site performance. Segal Trials, a privately held company with a network of six research sites throughout South Florida, has been named as the first program member. Segal Trials has extensive experience conducting research trials with an emphasis on psychiatry, neurology, addiction and psychedelics research.

New At-The-Market Equity Program of up to US$100 Million

The Company also announced that it has launched a new at-the-market equity program (the “New ATM Program”) to allow Cybin to issue and sell up to US$100,000,000 of common shares (the “Shares”) in the capital of the Company from treasury to the public, from time to time, through the Agents (as defined below). All Shares sold under the New ATM Program will be sold in transactions that are deemed to be “at-the-market” distributions as defined in National Instrument 44-102 – Shelf Distributions, directly through Cboe Canada, the NYSE American LLC (the “NYSE American”) or any other “marketplace” (as defined in National Instrument 21-101 – Marketplace Operation) upon which the Shares are listed, quoted or otherwise traded, at the prevailing market price at the time of sale. Cybin intends to use the net proceeds from sales of Shares under the New ATM Program, if any, for growth opportunities and working capital initiatives.

Distributions of Shares under the New ATM Program, if any, will be made pursuant to the terms and conditions of an “at-the-market equity” distribution agreement (the “New Distribution Agreement”) dated February 10, 2025 that the Company entered into with Cantor Fitzgerald Canada Corporation and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (collectively, the “Agents”).

The New ATM Program will be effective until the earlier of the issuance and sale of all of the Shares issuable pursuant to the New ATM Program and September 17, 2025 unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of the New Distribution Agreement. The Company is not obligated to make any sales of Shares under the New ATM Program and there can be no assurance as to when such sales will be completed, if ever. The volume and timing of distributions under the New ATM Program, if any, will be determined in Cybin’s sole discretion and in accordance with the New Distribution Agreement. As any Shares distributed under the New ATM Program will be issued and sold at the prevailing market price at the time of the applicable sale, prices may vary among purchasers through the duration of the New ATM Program. The completion of sales of Shares under the New ATM Program will be subject to customary closing conditions, including the listing of such Shares on Cboe Canada and the NYSE American, and any required approvals of each exchange.

The ATM Program is being established, and the sale of the Shares through the ATM Program will be made pursuant to, and qualified by way of a prospectus supplement dated February 10, 2025 (the “Prospectus Supplement”) to the Company’s short form base shelf prospectus dated August 17, 2023, as amended on December 22, 2023, April 8, 2024 and January 6, 2025 (the “Base Shelf Prospectus”) filed with the securities commissions in each of the provinces and territories of Canada. The Base Shelf Prospectus allows Cybin to qualify offerings of Shares, warrants, subscription receipts, units or debt securities, or a combination thereof, up to an aggregate total of C$650,000,000 during the 25-month period, ending on September 17, 2025, that the Base Shelf Prospectus remains effective. The Prospectus Supplement will be filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission as a supplement to the Company’s registration statement on Form F-10 (File No. 333-284173), which was declared effective on January 14, 2025, in accordance with the Multijurisdictional Disclosure System established between Canada and the United States.

The Prospectus Supplement and accompanying Base Shelf Prospectus contain important detailed information about the New ATM Program. The Prospectus Supplement and accompanying Base Shelf Prospectus can be found under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov/edgar.

Prospective investors should read the Prospectus Supplement and accompanying Base Shelf Prospectus and the other documents the Company has filed before making an investment decision.

In connection with the launch of the New ATM Program, the Company and the Agents have terminated the Company’s existing “at-the market” equity program (the “2023 ATM Program”), which allowed the Company to issue and sell up to US$35,000,000 of Shares from treasury to the public pursuant to a distribution agreement, dated August 23, 2023, among the Company and the Agents.

The Company sold a total of 1,653,320 Shares under the 2023 ATM Program at an average price of US$11.05 per Share for gross proceeds of approximately US$18,264,982. The 2023 ATM Program was qualified by way of a prospectus supplement dated August 23, 2023 (the “2023 ATM Supplement”) to the Base Shelf Prospectus. The 2023 ATM Supplement was also filed with the SEC as part of a registration statement on Form F-10 (File No. 333-272706), as amended, which became effective on August 17, 2023 upon filing with the SEC.

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Shares, nor will there be any sale of the Shares, in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
