Field Trip Health Ltd. Receives Final Court Approval for Reorganization of the Discovery and Wellness Businesses Into Two Publicly Traded Companies
June 29 2022 - 4:37PM
Field Trip Health Ltd. (TSX: FTRP, FTRP.WT, Nasdaq: FTRP) ("Field
Trip" or the "Corporation"), a global leader in the development and
delivery of psychedelic therapies, today announces that on June 29,
2022, it received final court approval in respect of the previously
announced spin-out of its clinics business to Field Trip Health
& Wellness Ltd. (“Field Trip H&W”) by way of plan of
arrangement (the "Arrangement").
Closing of the Arrangement remains subject to
regulatory approvals, including the conditional listing approval of
Field Trip H&W by the TSX Venture Exchange. It is expected that
the closing of the Arrangement will occur on or around August 2022.
Following the Arrangement, the Corporation will remain listed on
the NASDAQ Stock Market and Toronto Stock Exchange, and Field Trip
H&W, subject to exchange approval, will list on the TSX Venture
Exchange.
Pursuant to the terms of the Arrangement, each
share of the Corporation will be exchanged for one common share of
the Corporation (to be renamed "Reunion Neuroscience Inc." on
consummation of the Arrangement) and approximately 0.86 of a common
shares of Field Trip H&W.
Additionally, the Corporation announces the
closing of a fully marketed “commercially reasonable efforts”
brokered private placement of subscription receipts of Field Trip
H&W led by Bloom Burton Securities Inc., on behalf of itself
and a syndicate of agents that included Stifel GMP (collectively,
the "Agents") at an issue price of C$0.50 per Subscription Receipt
for aggregate gross proceeds of C$2,100,000 (the "Offering"). The
net proceeds of the Offering will be used by Field Trip H&W for
clinic operating expenses, working capital, Arrangement expenses,
as well as for general corporate purposes. Upon the satisfaction of
certain escrow release conditions (the “Escrow Release
Conditions”), each subscription receipt shall automatically be
exchanged for no additional consideration into one Field Trip
H&W common share.
On closing of the Offering, the gross proceeds
from the Offering, less 50% of the Agents’ commission and all of
the Agents’ expenses (the "Escrowed Proceeds"), were deposited and
are held in escrow pending satisfaction of certain escrow release
conditions, as agreed to by Field Trip H&W and the Agents,
which include the satisfaction of all conditions precedent to the
completion of the Arrangement and the receipt of all required
regulatory and third party approvals to the Arrangement. Provided
the Escrow Release Conditions have been satisfied on or prior to
4:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) on August 31, 2022, the Escrowed Proceeds
will be released to Field Trip H&W.

2022 and the supplement related thereto dated June 14, 2022
(collectively, the "Circular"), which is available under the
