Calgary, Alberta–(Newsfile Corp. – August 5, 2021) – Psygen Industries Ltd. (“Psygen” or the “Company”) announced today that it has closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement financing (the “Offering”) of unsecured convertible debentures (the “Debentures”) for gross proceeds of $5.5 million. The Debentures incur interest of 8.0% per annum. The proceeds will allow Psygen to hire key employees and complete their 17,000 square foot facility, which is anticipated to be the first GMP compliant manufacturing facility dedicated to synthetic production of psychedelics when construction is completed in Q3, 2021.
As previously announced, Psygen intends to complete a reverse takeover transaction (“RTO Transaction”) in conjunction with a brokered private placement offering (the “Psygen Concurrent Financing”) at a price to be determined in the context of the market for gross proceeds of a minimum of $10,000,000.
The Company may redeem the Debentures upon 30 days notice to the holder, by paying the principal amount plus all accrued but unpaid interest due to the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”). The Debentures cannot be redeemed until six months prior to the Maturity Date.
The Debentures will be automatically converted into Psygen common Shares (“Common Shares”): (i) immediately prior to the completion of the RTO Transaction at a price equal to 80% of the deemed price per share in connection with the Psygen Concurrent Financing (the “Conversion Price”); or (ii) 12 months following the issuance of the debenture certificate (the “Maturity Date”), at a price per Common Share equal to $30 million divided by the number of shares issued and outstanding at the time immediately prior to the closing of the Offering on a fully-diluted basis.
“We are very pleased with the amount of interest in Psygen’s debenture financing. The oversubscribed financing strengthens our balance sheet while we prepare to complete the RTO Transaction.” Said Danny Motyka, CEO of Psygen.
