MINDCURE Provides Update on Strategic Review

MINDCURE Provides Update on Strategic Review

Announces Executive and Employee Reductions and Cost Saving Measures

VANCOUVER, BC, March 16, 2022 – Mind Cure Health Inc. (CSE: MCUR) (OTCQX: MCURF) (FRA: 6MH) (“MINDCURE” or the “Company”), announced today that a special committee of the Company’s board of directors (the “Special Committee”) has concluded the initial phases of its previously announced strategic review process (the “Strategic Review Process”).

The Special Committee completed an extensive canvas of various strategic alternatives available to the Company, and determined that the additional capital required to execute the Company’s business plan is unlikely to be found under the current and foreseeable market conditions and that none of the strategic alternatives available to the Company necessitated ongoing developmental expenditures. Accordingly, the Board has taken the decision to immediately eliminate all expenditures outside those required to preserve the value of the Company’s assets, including its public company status with Canadian securities regulators and cash and cash equivalents of approximately $10.57 million on an unaudited basis as at close of business yesterday and without adjusting for any current liabilities as at such date or arising from the elimination of expenditures described in this news release.

Canaccord Genuity Corp. is acting as the Special Committee’s financial advisor in connection with the Strategic Review Process.

“Though we continue the Strategic Review Process, we have identified no available strategic alternatives that would require further development and execution of MINDCURE’s existing business plan. As a result, we have determined that the Company should immediately move to reduce all non-necessary expenditures except as required to preserve the value of the Company’s cash balance and other assets,” said the Chair of MINDCURE’s Special Committee, Jason Pamer.

Effective immediately, the Company will initiate a Company-wide workforce reduction with respect to all of its C-suite executives and employees, other than its Chief Financial Officer, Vice President of Engineering and certain administrative staff required to wind-down the Company’s operations and for limited care and maintenance of the Company; and halt all non-committed expenditures related to the development and marketing work of its iSTRYMTM product, the research and development related to its synthetic ibogaine program, and the research and development related to its Desire Project. Mr. Philip Tapley, the Chair of the Company’s board of directors, will assume the role of the Company’s interim CEO.

“While we truly appreciate the impact of these changes on our team and our suppliers, our Strategic Review Process has led us to believe that the actions announced in this news release are necessary to preserve cash position and maintain value of the Company’s other assets while the Company continues to seek a strategic transaction,” said the Chair of MINDCURE’s Board of Directors and Interim CEO, Philip Tapley. “Also, on behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Kelsey Ramsden for her dedicated service to the Company which began shortly after the Company went public in 2020. We are grateful to Kelsey for her strong leadership on behalf of all stakeholders.”

Other than as described in this news release, the Company has not made any decisions related to strategic alternatives at this time and there can be no assurance that the evaluation of strategic alternatives will result in any transaction proceeding or change in strategy. The Company does not intend to comment further unless and until further disclosure is appropriate or necessary.

“As care becomes more personalized, the need has never been greater for high quality, scalable digital therapeutics in the mental healthcare space, and I’m excited to join the MINDCURE team at the forefront of the progress being made,” said Dr. Purvis adding, “iSTRYM has proven itself in a fast-growing market and I believe it has the potential to become a dominating force as the product of choice for clinics utilizing technology-assisted therapies.”

While working at Headspace, Dr. Purvis was on the Executive Leadership Team responsible for clinical and scientific strategy, helping to set the company’s overall strategy and overseeing new product development in mental and behavioral health starting in 2019.  She currently serves as a Clinical Advisory Board member at Brightline, which provides a technology-driven approach to pediatric behavioral health.

In his new role as Vice President of Engineering, Mr. Belair will report to the CPO and will be working closely with Dr. Purvis to ensure success as MINDCURE drives to commercialization.

“I would like to thank Mr. Belair for his visionary architecture of the platform and look forward to his continued service in this new role,” said MINDCURE’s President and CEO Kelsey Ramsden.

Dr. Purvis is a licensed clinical psychologist and she received her Doctorate in Psychology from the PGSP-Stanford Consortium where she trained in the Stanford Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences.  She serves as an Affiliated Scholar at Stanford University’s Clinical Excellence Research Center, where she provides consultation on the use of technology to make great healthcare more affordable.  

MINDCURE is also announcing that Daniel Herrera, current Vice President, Growth and Strategic Partnerships, has been promoted to the role of Chief Growth Officer as result of his exceptional performance to date. His continued work in this position will drive MINDCURE forward as we near commercialization of iSTRYM and plan for significant growth in the coming years.

ISTRYM is currently partnered with 20 clinics in North America during its closed beta roll out.  Full commercialization of the platform is expected in Q2 of 2022.  Mental healthcare therapists and psychiatrists wishing to get access to the platform this year are currently being welcomed and onboarded in priority sequence.

MINDCURE Provides Update on Studies and Clinical Trials

MINDCURE Provides Update on Studies and Clinical Trials

VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 4, 2021 /CNW/ – Mind Cure Health Inc. (CSE: MCUR) (OTCQX: MCURF) (FRA: 6MH) (“MINDCURE” or the “Company”), a leader in advanced proprietary technology and research for psychedelics, is pleased to provide an operational progress update on the strategic initiatives of its operating segments – MINDCURE Research and MINDCURE Technology.

MINDCURE Research:

Synthetic Ibogaine Production Update
In March 2021, MINDCURE announced the initiation of chemical synthesis routes for the production of fully synthetic ibogaine. In July 2021, the Company applied for patents on two routes to full chemical synthesis and initiated the production of Good Laboratory Practice (“GLP”) ibogaine leading to the production of Good Manufacturing Practice (“GMP”) ibogaine in order to scale and manufacture a global supply of fully synthetic ibogaine. MINDCURE is currently on schedule and expects to have GLP supply available for research partners beginning in Q2 of 2022.

Pre-Clinical Update
MINDCURE confirms that it is preparing to ship ibogaine drug material to its pre-clinical research partner. The material will initially be used for broad cardiac and neurologic screens, with the potential to conduct in-depth behavioral studies. This program has been identified as MSYNTH-001, and the Company expects results from the first studies during the first quarter of 2022.

In addition to advancing the scale of its synthetic ibogaine program, MINDCURE continues to explore options for drug pipeline expansion. Two candidate selection programs are currently underway, known internally as MC-106 and MC-808. The Company will provide further information on these programs in the second quarter of 2022.

Clinical Trial Update
MINDCURE has completed its draft research protocol for the use of MDMA and psychotherapy to treat female sexual hypoactive desire disorder, known as The Desire Project. The Company expects a pre-IND meeting with the FDA to be scheduled in the first quarter of 2022 and for its Phase 2 trial to begin by the third quarter of 2022. Further, site initiation and initial screening are planned for March 2022, with recruitment and enrollment to follow.

“We are proud to report that MINDCURE’s core research programs are progressing rapidly, showcasing our disciplined commitment to advancing MINDCURE’s drug research and commercial production programs. Concurrently, we maintain a focus on identifying opportunities to expand our drug development pipeline,” said Kelsey Ramsden, President & Chief Executive Officer of MINDCURE.

MINDCURE Technology:

Digital Platform iSTRYM Update
The Company released the minimum viable product (“MVP”) of its digital therapeutics (DTx) technology, iSTRYM, into partner clinics across North America in August. MINDCURE is pleased to announce that it has exceeded its previously announced target and timeline of 10 clinics by the end of 2021. The Company has already partnered with 20 ketamine clinics in nine states in the US and three provinces in Canada and plans to expand to the broader mental health market in 2022.

In addition, MINDCURE will begin full commercial deployment to all partner clinics in early 2022, with expansion plans to the UK and Europe by the fourth quarter of 2022.

In addition to its recently announced letter of intent with Awakn Life Sciences Corp. to distribute their Ketamine for Alcohol Use Disorder (“AUD”) protocol in North America via iSTRYM, MINDCURE will expand its selection of existing ketamine protocols with an additional MINDCURE developed protocol in the first quarter of 2022. The Company is continuing on its path toward becoming a leader in the distribution of best-in-class therapy protocols for both partners and providers.

Observational Study Update
MINDCURE is pleased to announce that its Integration Protocol Research Study is complete. As previously announced in March 2021, unconditional ethics approval from Veritas IRB was received for the study. The data has been amassed and findings incorporated into the MVP of iSTRYM. As a next step, the Company’s research partners will submit findings for publication. Understanding integration protocols and practices is an important part of providing best-in-class care specific to psychedelic medicines in practice.

Corporate Update

MINDCURE has further engaged Sandstone Media LLC (“Sandstone”) to provide a broad range of product and brand awareness, marketing and media services, including message development, content creation, social media, advertising, marketing and retargeting, which may include related investor relations services. Sandstone will be paid up to USD$375,000 for the execution and management of the campaign.

Lastly, the Company has granted a total of 30,000 stock options to certain employees pursuant to the terms of the Company’s long term incentive plan (“Plan”). The stock options are exercisable at a price of $0.33 per share and subject to the terms of the Plan.

MINDCURE Signs LOI with Awakn Life Sciences to Distribute Ketamine Protocol for Alcohol Use Disorder into Clinics Across United States and Canada through iSTRYM, MINDCURE’s Digital Therapeutics Platform

VANCOUVER, BC, October 28, 2021 – Mind Cure Health Inc. (CSE: MCUR) (OTCQX: MCURF) (FRA: 6MH) (“MINDCURE” or the “Company”), a leader in advanced proprietary technology and research for psychedelics, is pleased to announce the signing of a non-binding letter of intent (“LOI”) with Awakn Life Sciences (NEO: AWKN)(OTCQB: AWKNF) (“Awakn”), a biotechnology company with clinical operations researching, developing, and delivering psychedelic medicine to better treat Addiction.

The Company will enter into an agreement with Awakn to be a distributor of its ketamine-assisted psychotherapy for Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) protocol in the US and Canada. Awakn’s protocol will be distributed through iSTRYM, MINDCURE’s digital therapeutics platform.

MINDCURE released the minimum viable product (MVP) version of iSTRYM into partner clinics across North America in August and will begin full commercial deployment to all partner clinics in Q1 of 2022. The company forecasts 75 partner clinics in Canada and the US deploying iSTRYM upon commercialization. Further deployment anticipates 150 clinics across Canada, the US, the UK, and Europe by Q4 2022.

iSTRYM provides a digital distribution network of science-based protocols developed by MINDCURE’s clinical partners, companies, academic institutions, and other healthcare providers directly to therapists. The Company is already partnering with ketamine-assisted psychotherapy clinics in nine states in the US and two provinces in Canada with plans to expand to the broader mental health market in 2022.

We’re currently building the UK and Europe’s leading chain of medical psychedelic clinics with a focus on treating addiction and other mental health conditions,” said Anthony Tennyson, CEO of Awakn Life Sciences. “We are extremely pleased that we now also have a partnership with MINDCURE to distribute our ketamine-assisted psychotherapy for Alcohol Use Disorder protocol through their iSTRYM platform in the US and Canada.”

Awakn acquired the licensing rights from the University of Exeter for a ketamine-assisted psychotherapy treatment for AUD, which has been validated in a completed Phase II a/b trial. Awakn’s license to use and deliver the ‘Ketamine in the Reduction of Alcoholic Relapse’ (KARE) psychotherapy treatment will be deployed in each of Awakn’s clinics in the UK and Europe and will be led by a consultant psychiatrist. Awakn’s Team includes world leading scientific, research and clinical experts in the treatment addiction, led by Professor David Nutt, who serves as Awakn’s Chief Research Officer and Chair of both the Scientific Advisory Boards (Preclinical and Clinical). The KARE protocol will be distributed by MINDCURE in its digital therapeutic platform across its growing network of clinical partners in the US and Canada.

“Improving mental health is a global challenge and we’re building iSTRYM to be an innovative global solution,” said Kelsey Ramsden, President & CEO, MINDCURE. “This is our first of many overseas partnerships with industry leaders who are developing scientifically rigorous psychedelics protocols and drugs whereby our technology provides a natural distribution partner to support both patients and therapists.”
