Quantum BioPharma ends going-concern, cash to 2028
QNTM removes its going-concern warning, extends cash runway to January 2028, cuts costs, raises new debenture and equity financing, and advances Lucid‑MS and unbuzzd.
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Quantum BioPharma Ltd. (QNTM) reports audited 2025 results showing removal of a going-concern warning, stronger liquidity and reduced costs. Cash and digital assets were $11.3 million USD as of the filing date, and management states this provides a cash runway for basic operations through January 2028. For 2025, operating expenses fell to $15.3 million USD from $16.1 million, external R&D fees dropped to $2.8 million USD from $6.1 million, and trade and other payables declined from $4.1 million at December 31 2025 to $2.0 million.
To support funding, Quantum arranged a non-brokered private placement of up to 4,000 convertible debenture units at $1,000 each, carrying 1.25% monthly interest, convertible at $4.00 per share with warrants at $5.00; it also completed a fourth tranche of an earlier debenture offering and settled CAD$123,487.43 of debt by issuing 30,948 Class B shares at CAD$3.99. The company granted an aggregate of 580,192 options (including 7,692 to a director and 572,500 later in 2026) and is pursuing a small Class A multiple voting share placement to restore those shares’ voting power to about 75%. Pipeline updates include completion of Phase 1 and toxicology for Lucid‑MS, a peer‑reviewed clinical trial of unbuzzd™, and an ongoing equity and royalty interest in Unbuzzd Wellness Inc.
Positive
- Going-concern risk removed: 2025 audited financials maintain a ‘no going concern’ status, signaling improved financial stability versus prior periods.
- Liquidity strengthened: cash and digital assets of $11.3 million USD support management’s view of a cash runway for basic operations through January 2028.
- Cost base reduced: 2025 operating expenses declined to $15.3 million USD from $16.1 million, and trade and other payables were cut by about 50% to $2.0 million.
- R&D spending normalized: external research and development fees fell to $2.8 million USD from $6.1 million as Phase 1 trials concluded and Australian R&D credits were realized.
- Pipeline progress: Lucid‑MS completed Phase 1 and toxicology studies, and an unbuzzd™ clinical trial demonstrating effects on alcohol metabolism was published in a peer‑reviewed journal.
- Strategic asset and royalty stake: Quantum holds about 19–20% of Unbuzzd Wellness Inc. and is entitled to 7% unbuzzd™ sales royalties until $250 million is paid, then 3% in perpetuity.
Negative
- Equity dilution and overhang: financing structures include up to 4,000 convertible debenture units with attached warrants and equity issuance for debt, plus 572,500 new options, increasing potential future share dilution.
- Governance concentration: a non-brokered private placement of up to 30 Class A multiple voting shares is designed to lift Class A voting power back to about 75%, reinforcing control by existing Class A holders.
- High promotional spend: marketing and investor‑awareness contracts with Senergy, King Tide Media, and FinnCom total roughly $445,500 USD in committed cash payments in 2026.
- Debt-equity swap signals balance-sheet stress: settlement of CAD$123,487.43 of obligations via issuance of 30,948 Class B shares highlights reliance on equity to manage payables.

THIS NEWS RELEASE IS INTENDED FOR DISTRIBUTION IN CANADA ONLY AND IS NOT INTENDED FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES.
QUANTUM BIOPHARMA PROVIDES CORPORATE UPDATE
Toronto, Ontario – March 7, 2025 -- Quantum BioPharma Ltd. (NASDAQ: QNTM) (CSE: QNTM) (FRA: 0K91) (the “Company”), a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to building a portfolio of innovative assets and biotech solutions, is pleased to announce the following corporate updates.
Warrant Cancellation
Effective today, the Company has cancelled an aggregate of 7,692 warrants (“Warrants”) to purchase class B subordinate voting shares in the capital of the Company (“Class B Shares”), which were previously granted to Michael (Zappy) Zapolin. The Company and Mr. Zapolin entered into a warrant cancellation agreement, pursuant to which Mr. Zapolin agreed to cancel the Warrants.
Management had reviewed Mr. Zapolin’s outstanding Warrants and determined that the Warrants granted to Mr. Zapolin no longer represented a realistic incentive to motivate Mr. Zapolin
Option Grant
The Company also announces the grant of 7,692 stock options to acquire Class B Shares (“Options”) to Mr. Zapolin (the “Option Grant”) pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plan, with an exercise price of C$6.60 per Class B Share and an expiry date of March 7, 2027.
Related Party Transaction
The Option Grant constitutes a “related party transaction”, as such term is defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Shareholders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”) due to the involvement of Mr. Zapolin, who is a member of the board of directors of the Company, and would require the Company to receive minority shareholder approval for, and obtain a formal valuation for the subject matter of, the transaction in accordance with MI 61-101, prior to the completion of the Option Grant. In its consideration and approval of the Option Grant, the Board determined that the Option Grant was exempt from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of MI 61-101. The Company intends to rely on the exemptions contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, respectively, in respect of the participation of Mr. Zapolin in the Option Grant, as the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the Option Grant does not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization (as determined under MI 61-101).
Debenture Units
Additionally, on March 6, 2025, the Company closed a fourth tranche of the offering announced on December 5, 2024 (the “December 5 NR”) and amended on January 20, 2025 (the “Jan 20 NR”), issuing 100 Debenture Units (as defined in the December 5 NR, as amended by the Jan 20 NR) for $100,000. The Company will use the proceeds from the fourth tranche for the ongoing development of the Company's business model and for general working capital purposes. The Company may close on additional tranches, with an increased conversion price of $6.60 and an increased exercise price per Warrant Share (as defined in the December 5 NR) of $7.00.
The securities being offered have not been, nor will they be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any State in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

Exhibit 99.2
Quantum BioPharma Ltd. Announces Corporate Updates
Toronto, Ontario – October 29, 2025 – Quantum BioPharma Ltd. (NASDAQ: QNTM) (CSE: QNTM) (FRA: 0K91) (Upstream: QNTM) (“Quantum BioPharma” or the “Company”), a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to building a portfolio of innovative assets and biotech solutions for the treatment of challenging neurodegenerative and metabolic disorders and alcohol misuse disorders with drug candidates in different stages of development, today announces, as approved by the shareholders of the Company at the annual general and special meeting of shareholders held on September 26, 2025, a non-brokered private placement of up to 30 class A multiple voting shares of the Company (“Class A Multiple Voting Shares”) at a price of $25 per Class A Multiple Voting Shares, for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $750 (the “Offering”). The Company expects that the entirety of the Offering will be subscribed for by entities beneficially owned or controlled by Zeeshan Saeed and Anthony Durkacz, being the existing holders of Class A Multiple Voting Shares.
When the Company initially went public in 2018, the voting rights attached to the Class A Multiple Voting Shares equalled 75.87% of the aggregate voting rights attached to the Class A Multiple Voting Shares and Class B Subordinate Voting Rights. As a result of issuances of class B subordinate voting shares (the “Class B Subordinate Voting Shares”) over the intervening 7 years, that percentage has declined 46.52%. The Company has determined that it would be in its best interests to proceed with the Offering, which, if fully subscribed, would result in the voting rights attached to the Class A Multiple Voting Shares increasing to 75.27%, which returns those voting rights to nearly the same percentage as when the Company initially went public. The board of directors of the Company determined that the Offering was in the best interests of the Company and executed a board resolution approving the same on October 29, 2025. In its decision-making process, the board of directors had informal discussions excluding Messrs. Saeed and Durkacz to discuss the Offering, it reviewed the Company's articles, and it reviewed the implications of issuing additional Class A Multiple Voting Shares. Zeeshan Saeed and Anthony Durkacz abstained from this vote with respect to their interest in the resolution, in accordance with section 132(5) of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “OBCA”). In accordance with the OBCA, all the directors were required to sign the authorizing resolution in order for the Offering to be valid as if passed at a meeting of the directors of the Company, however, the signatures of each of Zeeshan Saeed and Anthony Durkacz do not constitute a vote by the insider as a director to approve the Offering. The Offering was unanimously approved by the directors of the Company entitled to vote thereon. All Class A Multiple Voting Shares issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to hold periods of four months and a day from the date of closing in accordance with applicable securities laws of Canada. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Offering for general working capital purposes
MI 61-101 Disclosure
It is anticipated that the Offering will be fully subscribed by Xorax Family Trust (“Xorax”), a trust of which Zeeshan Saeed, the Chief Executive Officer and Co-Chairman of the Company is a beneficiary, and Fortius Research and Trading Corp. (“Fortius”), a corporation of which Anthony Durkacz, a director of the Company is a director, is expected to purchase all the Class A Multiple Voting Shares issued pursuant to the Offering. The participation by such insiders is considered a “related-party transaction” within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company expects that any such resulting related party transaction will be exempt from the formal valuation requirement and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 based on the exemptions under sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the Class A Multiple Voting Shares being purchased will not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization. The Company expects that the closing of the Offering will occur within 21 days of this announcement and that it will not file a material change report in respect of the related party transaction at least 21 days before the closing date. The Company deems this circumstance reasonable and necessary in order to complete the Offering in an expeditious manner.
This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. The securities being offered have not been, nor will they be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws.
Early Warning Disclosure
This press release is being issued in accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 62-103 - The Early Warning System and Related Take-Over Bid and Insider Reporting Issues (“NI 62-103”), in connection with the filing of the Early Warning Report by Anthony Durkacz (the “Transferor”), whose registered address is 2045 Lakeshore Boulevard West, Suite 3006, Toronto, Ontario M6V 2Z6, in respect of the transfer of 77,000 Class B Subordinate Voting Shares of Quantum BioPharma, whose head office is at 1 Adelaide Street East, Suite 801, Toronto, Ontario M5C 2V9, to another individual on October 29, 2025 (the “Transfer”) pursuant to a private agreement entered into to give effect to a matrimonial settlement (the “Settlement Agreement”). The 77,000 Class B Subordinate Voting Shares were transferred for no cash consideration.
Prior to the Transfer, the Transferor, together with Fortius Research and Trading Corp. and First Republic Capital Corporation (collectively, the “Joint Actors”), had ownership or control over an aggregate of 6 Class A Multiple Voting Shares and 113,495 Class B Subordinate Voting Shares, representing approximately 50% of the outstanding Class A Multiple Voting Shares, 2.97% of the outstanding Class B Subordinate Voting Shares, and 24.85% of the voting rights attached to all of the Company’s outstanding voting securities on a non-diluted basis. Each Class A Multiple Voting Share carries 276,660 votes and each Class B Subordinate Voting Share carries one vote at meetings of shareholders of the Company.

In addition, the Transferor holds 32,000 restricted share units (“RSUs”) and 7,000 options (“Options”), each of which upon vesting are exercisable or settle into one Class B Subordinate Voting Share. On a partially diluted basis, assuming the settlement of all RSUs and Options, the Transferor and the Joint Actors would haves ownership or control over an aggregate of 6 Class A Multiple Voting Shares and 75,495 C Class B Subordinate Voting Shares, representing approximately 50% of the outstanding Class A Multiple Voting Shares, 1.96% of the outstanding Class B Subordinate Voting Shares, and 24.18% of the voting rights attached to all of the Company’s outstanding voting securities.
The Transfer was effected privately pursuant to the Settlement Agreement. The Transferor may, from time to time and at any time, depending on market conditions, the business and prospects of the Company, and other relevant factors, evaluate his investment in the Company and may acquire additional securities or dispose of securities through market transactions, private agreements, treasury issuances, or otherwise.

The Debentures will mature on the date that is 24 months from the date of issuance (the “Maturity Date”) and shall bear interest at a rate of 1.25% per month, beginning on the date of issuance and payable in cash on the last day of each calendar quarter, starting June 30, 2026.
The principal sum of the Debentures, or any portion thereof, and any accrued but unpaid interest, may be converted into Shares at a conversion price of $4.00 per Share (the “Conversion Price”). Each Warrant shall entitle the holder to acquire one additional Share (each, a “Warrant Share”) at a price of $5.00 per Warrant Share, for a period of five (5) years from the date of issuance.
The Company will use the proceeds from the Offering for the ongoing development of the Company’s business model and for general working capital purposes.
Debt Settlement
The Company also announces that it intends to settle certain amounts owing to arm’s length creditors and insiders of the Company (collectively, the “Creditors”) through the issuance of Shares at a deemed price per Share equal to the Conversion Price (the “Debt Settlement”).
The participation by insiders of the Company in the Debt Settlement constitutes a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”). The Company is relying on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction exceeds 25% of the Company’s market capitalization, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101. The Company did not file a material change report in respect of the related party aspects of the Debt Settlement at least 21 days before the expected closing of the Debt Settlement, which the Company deems reasonable in the circumstances in order to expedite the completion of the Debt Settlement.
All amounts in this press release are expressed in Canadian dollars.
The securities being offered have not been, nor will they be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any State in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

Quantum Biopharma’s 2025 Audited Year End Financial Results Maintain ‘No Going Concern’ Status
Financial Statements as of Date of Filing Show Strong Improvements in Cash, Reduction in Accounts Payable, and a Cash Runway Through January 2028
Multiple Sclerosis Drug Candidate Lucid-21-302 Phase 1 Trial with Toxicology Studies Complete, and unbuzzd™ Clinical Trial Published in Peer-Reviewed Journal
TORONTO, March 27, 2026 -- Quantum BioPharma Ltd. (NASDAQ: QNTM) (CSE: QNTM) (FRA: 0K91) (“Quantum” or the “Company”), has reported its audited financial and operational results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025.
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Financial Results
Quantum’s strong balance sheet and overall progress continue, and management is confident that there is sufficient working capital, as of the date of filing these Financial Statements, to carry out its operations over the next 24 months. Cash on hand and fair market value of digital assets as of the date of filing these Financial Statements is $11.3 million USD. Management believes there is sufficient cash to sustain basic operations beyond January 2028. Digital assets continue to be used as a treasury function of the Company to allow diversification with high liquidity. The Company's ability to secure financing from multiple distinct sources in 2025, ranging from convertible debt, institutional loans, and the monetization of its loan portfolio, reflects a material improvement in capital market access and funding flexibility compared to the prior year.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, Operating Expenses were reduced to $15.3 million USD compared to $16.1 million USD in the same period of 2024, an improvement of approximately 5%.
As of the date of filing, the Company had reduced trade and other payables by approximately 50%, from $4.1 million on December 31, 2025, to $2.0 million, reflecting improved working capital management.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, external research and development fees decreased to $2.8 million USD compared to $6.1 million USD in the same period of 2024 as a result of phase 1 clinical trials ending, as well as R&D tax credit initiatives provided by the Australian government during FY2025.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, General and Administrative expenses decreased to $9.0 million USD compared to $9.4 million USD in the same period of 2024 as a result of operational efficiencies.
Fourth Quarter & Subsequent 2025 Corporate Highlights
unbuzzd Peer Review Journal Publication of Positive Game Changing Results
An international peer-reviewed journal published the results of the double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled crossover design clinical trial (NCT06505239) of dietary supplement product unbuzzd, investigating its effects on alcohol intoxication and alcohol metabolism.

| ● | Phase 1 oral toxicity studies of 3 and 6 months of Lucid-MS are complete and show no toxicity or significant side effects of the drug. | |
| ● | The oral formulation of Lucid-MS potentially offers an easier route of administration compared to current drugs requiring injection or infusion.

Management Commentary
“Subsequent to the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, we are in a significantly stronger cash position. Operationally, we continue to strengthen our balance sheet and expand our reach in the capital markets to execute on upcoming milestones. Subsequent to the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, was highlighted by a significant reduction in total liabilities, continued delivery of efficiencies, and continued development of our robust pipeline of products and assets focused on addressing significant unmet needs in brain disorders and alcohol health, with three potential near-term monetization events,” said Donal Carroll, CFO of Quantum BioPharma.
“We made significant progress with our MS program. Our announced partnership in 2025 with Massachusetts General Hospital scientists had the first patient having undergone PET scanning in Q3 utilizing a potentially breakthrough diagnostic protocol for monitoring demyelination related to MS. Lucid-MS is a first-in-class, non-immunomodulatory, orally administered compound demonstrating neuroprotection in animal studies for the treatment of MS. It is a patented New Chemical Entity (“NCE”) that has a unique mechanism of action. Lucid-MS was deemed safe and well-tolerated by healthy participants by the Safety Review Committee, and has completed toxicology studies and we are optimistic about the potential of Lucid-MS to protect myelin in MS patients as it represents a new direction in the treatment of this disease. We are now looking ahead to our Phase 2 trial as we work towards our goals of drug approval and commercialization.”
“In additional, a peer reviewed journal publication of the results of unbuzzd showed incredible results. Unbuzzd Wellness, licensee of our rapid alcohol detoxification beverage unbuzzd, is in the midst of capitalizing a possible go public transaction later this year. This is expected to provide non-dilutive cash to Quantum through monetization of our holding in a controlled and strategic fashion. Quantum BioPharma’s equity in Unbuzzd Wellness will not get diluted with this financing. Health Canada granted a Product License (PN 80144141) for natural health product Qlarity that Enhances Energy and Promotes Metabolism, Mental Alertness and Cognitive Performance permitting Quantum to sell the product in Canada.”
“Looking ahead, we are focused on managing our balance sheet to be in an even stronger financial position. We believe we now have sufficient cash to maintain basic operations beyond January 2028,” stated Carroll.
Effective March 27, 2026, Terry Lynch has resigned from the board of directors of Quantum. Terry has come to this decision due to constraints on his ability to dedicate an adequate amount of time to Quantum. The Quantum board would like to thank Mr. Terry Lynch for his guidance and diligence on the board since his appointment March 27, 2025.
