October 13 2021 - 4:30PM
InMed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“InMed” or the
“Company”) (Nasdaq: INM), a leader in the manufacturing and
clinical development of rare cannabinoids, today announced that
they have completed the previously announced acquisition of
BayMedica Inc. (“BayMedica”), a private company based in the US
specializing in the manufacturing and commercialization of rare
cannabinoids for the health and wellness sector.
Eric A. Adams, President and Chief Executive
Officer of InMed, stated, “We are delighted to close this
acquisition and welcome everyone at BayMedica to the InMed team. In
the next several weeks, we will focus on corporate integration,
exploring our combined manufacturing know-how and looking to
accelerate revenue growth. BayMedica brings significant expertise
and will help strengthen our pharmaceutical drug development
efforts as well as position the Company to become a global leader
in the manufacturing of rare cannabinoids.”
Shane Johnson, Senior Vice President and General
Manager of BayMedica, stated, “We are very pleased to finalize this
transaction and join forces with InMed. Together we have the
capabilities and resources to accelerate our commercial initiatives
and expedite the launch of several new cannabinoids products in the
consumer health and wellness sector. The combined technologies in
rare cannabinoid manufacturing, including synthetic biology,
chemical synthesis and enzymatic biotransformation (IntegraSyn™),
establishes us as a leader in the field.”
Acquisition overview and amended
transaction terms: InMed acquired 100% of BayMedica in
exchange for 2.05 million InMed common shares issued to BayMedica’s
equity and convertible debt holders, subject to a six-month
contractual hold period. The previously announced issuance of
Series A and Series B warrants to acquire 1.6 million common shares
was replaced with a cash component of US$1 million. The entirety of
this cash consideration will be held in escrow, subject to
cancellation, to satisfy certain potential post-closing
indemnification and other claims that InMed may have under the
definitive agreement in the six- and twelve-month periods following
the closing.
