The product is available for sale in a sachet format, which can be added to any beverage, or it can be ordered as a GOODMINDTM Functional Mushroom Cappuccino. GOODMINDTM is jointly owned by Psyence and South African natural wellness company Goodleaf.

“Following the launch of our first Functional Mushroom product, GOODMINDTM (in capsule format) in August 2021, we recognised the opportunity to extend the GOODMINDTM offering. We have now developed GOODMINDTM water-soluble, mushroom powder sachets, which blends perfectly with coffee and other beverages,” says Jody Aufrichtig, Executive Chairman Psyence Group.” We are proud of the GOODMINDTM products we have developed and that we are able to generate revenue from having our wellness products on shelves.”

Goodmind Vida E Caffe

Goodleaf CEO and Founder Warren Schewitz says: “Collaborating with vida e caffè to launch South Africa’s first Functional Mushroom Cappuccino made perfect sense. vida e caffè has a network of over 250 coffee stores nationwide and the Functional Mushroom Cappuccino will be available in a selection of these stores.

Darren Levy CEO, vida e caffè says:  “We are constantly on a journey to see how we can enhance our coffee and health offering to the end consumer, and are committed to staying on trend with global coffee developments. Following previous collaborations in the CBD space and recent collagen additions to our menu, we have seen that our consumers enjoy having functional benefits added to their daily brew. We are excited to be collaborating with the GOODMIND team on this new and innovative coffee add-on offering, promoting a healthy body and mind.”

The global Functional Mushroom market was valued at USD 25.4 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach a CAGR of 8.44% during the forecast period 2021-2026. This is according to a Functional Mushrooms Market 2021 report published by Research and Markets in October 2021. The report highlights that while demand for mushroom-based products had been increasing for some time, functional mushrooms have been ‘brought into the spotlight’ as a result of Covid-19 and the category is experiencing accelerated growth.

The GOODMIND™ Functional Mushroom range has been developed using a blend of adaptogenic, non-psychedelic super mushrooms. The GOODMIND™ mushroom powder sachets are a blend of eight functional mushrooms, predominantly Lion’s Mane, Shiitake, Cordyceps and Chaga.

8,850,000

The grants are made under the Company’s 20% Fixed Stock Option Plan, which based on the total shares outstanding as at the date of the Company’s Amalgamation on August 31, 2021, has a cap of 38.1 million shares issuable for the exercise of Options and Performance Shares.

None of the current grantees have previously been issued any UI Options, and each Option will entitle the holder to acquire one UI common share at an exercise price of $0.25 per share (which was the issue price of the August 31, 2021 go-public Offering).  Entitlement to exercise the Options will vest over a term of 3 years (1/3 per year) for 4,850,000 of the Options and 2,000,000 Options will vest over a term of 2 years. For Mr. Karos, the vesting period is one year, and 1,150,000 of his 2,000,000 Option grant (58% of his total) will only vest upon achieving performance-based milestones.  The term to expiry of the Options will be 5 years, except for 3,000,000 Options which will have a term of 10 years.

Dr. Rami Batal, UI’s CEO noted “As a life sciences company, we are an integral participant in the knowledge economy. While we have aimed to minimize cash compensation costs, the importance for UI of recruiting and retaining top talent is paramount, particularly in today’s competitive environment. Our team, including members of our Board of Directors who continue to provide both governance and operational guidance, are relentless in their quest to make UI successful. The recent addition of Anthony DeCristofaro and David Danziger enhanced our Board of Directors and strengthened our business and financial acumen. Dr. Ian Rabb, who joined us in mid-November, is making considerable strides in shaping our innovative addiction care model, which is to be piloted at the Kelburn Clinic in Winnipeg.  Mr. Nick Karos, our exciting new addition to the UI team, will augment our corporate finance and capital markets expertise and experience, and bolster our access and effectiveness in the ever-critical US market environment.”
