Ladies and Gentlemen:

Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (the “Company”), proposes to sell to the several underwriters named in Schedule I hereto (the “Underwriters”), for whom you (the “Representatives”) are acting as representatives, (i) 9,285,511 common shares, having no par value per share (“Common Shares”) of the Company (said shares to be issued and sold by the Company being hereinafter called the “Underwritten Shares”) and (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 1,428,775 Common Shares (the “Warrants” and together with the Underwritten Shares, the “Securities”). The Common Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are herein referred to as the “Warrant Shares.” To the extent there are no additional Underwriters listed on Schedule I other than you, the term Representatives as used herein shall mean you, as Underwriters, and the terms Representatives and Underwriters shall mean either the singular or plural as the context requires.

1.            Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, each Underwriter as set forth below in this Section 1.

a) Registration Statement and Prospectus. The Company has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), a shelf registration statement (file number 333-280548) on Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (the “Act”) not earlier than three years prior to the date hereof and such registration statement became effective upon filing under the Act by the Commission. Such registration statement, including the exhibits and any schedules thereto and any Prospectus (as defined below) relating to the Securities that is filed with the Commission and deemed part of such registration statement pursuant to Rule 430B (“Rule 430B”) under the Act, as amended, on each Effective Date (as defined below), is referred to herein as the “Registration Statement.” The base prospectus filed as part of the Registration Statement in the form in which it has most recently been filed with the Commission on or prior to the date of this Agreement is herein called the “Base Prospectus.” Each preliminary prospectus supplement to the Base Prospectus (including the Base Prospectus as so supplemented), that describes the Securities and the offering thereof, that omitted information pursuant to Rule 430B and that was used prior to the filing of the final prospectus supplement referred to in the following sentence is herein called a “Preliminary Prospectus.” Promptly after execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company will prepare and file with the Commission a final prospectus supplement to the Base Prospectus relating to the Securities and the offering thereof in accordance with the provisions of Rule 430B and Rule 424(b) of the Act. Such final prospectus supplement (including the Base Prospectus as so supplemented) in the form filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) is herein called the “Prospectus”. Any reference herein to the Registration Statement, Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to include the documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (the “Exchange Act”) on or before the Effective Date of the Registration Statement or as of the date of such Prospectus, as the case may be. “Effective Date” shall mean each date and time that the Registration Statement became or becomes effective (including each deemed effective date with respect to the Underwriters pursuant to Rule 430B or otherwise under the Act).

All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which is “described,” “contained,” “included” or “stated” (or other references of like import) in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to mean and include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which is incorporated by reference in or otherwise deemed by the Act to be a part of or included in the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be; and all references in this Agreement to amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any document filed under the Exchange Act, and incorporated therein, after the Effective Date of the Registration Statement or the date of the Base Prospectus, such Preliminary Prospectus, or the Prospectus, as the case may be, and which is deemed to be incorporated by reference therein or otherwise deemed by the Exchange Act to be a part thereof.

The term “Disclosure Package” means (i) the Preliminary Prospectus, as most recently amended or supplemented immediately prior to 7:30 a.m., New York City time, on August 9, 2024 (the “Execution Time”), (ii) any issuer free writing prospectus, as defined by Rule 433 of the Act (an “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”) identified in Schedule II hereto, (iii) any other free writing prospectus, as defined by Rule 405 (a “Free Writing Prospectus”) that the parties hereto shall hereafter expressly agree to treat as part of the Disclosure Package and (iv) the information set forth on Schedule IV. The Company has not received any order of the Commission preventing or suspending the use of the Registration Statement, or threatening or instituting proceedings for that purpose, and no notice of objection of the Commission to the use of the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Act has been received by the Company. The Registration Statement and the offer and sale of the Securities as contemplated hereby meet the requirements of Rule 415 under the Act and comply in all material respects with said Rule. Any contracts or other documents that are required to be described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package or the Prospectus or to be filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement have been so described or filed. The Common Shares are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are currently listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (the “Exchange”) under the trading symbol “MNMD”. The Company has taken no action designed to, or likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common Shares under the Exchange Act, delisting the Common Shares from the Exchange, nor has the Company received any notification that either the Commission or the Exchange is contemplating terminating such registration or listing. To the Company’s knowledge, it is in compliance with all applicable listing requirements of the Exchange.

b) No Misstatement or Omission. The Registration Statement, as of the Effective Date, did not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. As of the Execution Time and the Closing Date, the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus and any amendment and supplement thereto, does not or will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Company makes no representations or warranties as to the information contained in or omitted from the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (or any supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (or any supplement thereto), it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 8 hereof. The documents incorporated by reference or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus at the time the Registration Statement became effective or when such documents incorporated by reference were filed with the Commission, as the case may be, when read together with the other information in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, as the case may be, did not and will not, when filed with the Commission, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated in such document or necessary to make the statements in such document, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of the Execution Time and the Closing Date, as applicable, (i) the Disclosure Package, and (ii) each electronic roadshow and any individual Written Testing-the-Waters Communication (as defined below), when taken together as a whole with the Disclosure Package, did not, does not, and will not, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The preceding sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from the Disclosure Package or any electronic roadshow based upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by or on behalf of any Underwriter consists of the information described as such in Section 8 hereof.

12

y) No Material Defaults. Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries has defaulted on any installment on indebtedness for borrowed money or on any rental on one or more long-term leases, which defaults, individually or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has not filed a report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act since the filing of its last Annual Report on Form 10-K, indicating that it (i) has failed to pay any dividend or sinking fund installment on preferred stock or (ii) has defaulted on any installment on indebtedness for borrowed money or on any rental on one or more long-term leases, which defaults, individually or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect.

z) Certain Market Activities. Neither the Company, nor any of the Subsidiaries, nor any of their respective directors, officers or controlling persons has taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed, or that has constituted or might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, under the Exchange Act or otherwise, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities.

No tax deficiency has been determined adversely to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which has had, or would have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has no knowledge of any Canadian federal, United States federal, provincial, state or other governmental tax deficiency, penalty or assessment which has been or might be asserted or threatened against it which would have a Material Adverse Effect. No stamp duties or other similar issuance or transfer taxes are payable by or on behalf of the Underwriters in Canada or any political subdivision or tax authority thereof solely in connection with (i) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the warrant certificates representing the Warrants and the issuance of the Securities or Warrant Shares or (ii) the sale and delivery by the Underwriters of the Securities as contemplated herein and in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

13

dd) Title to Real and Personal Property. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries owns or leases all such properties as are necessary to the conduct of its operations as presently conducted, except where the failure to own or lease any such properties would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all items of real property owned by them, good and valid title to all personal property described in the Registration Statement or Prospectus as being owned by them, in each case free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and claims, except those matters that (i) do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Any real or personal property described in the Registration Statement or Prospectus as being leased by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries is held by them under valid, existing and enforceable leases, except those that (A) do not materially interfere with the use made or proposed to be made of such property by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (B) would not be reasonably expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries complies with all applicable codes, laws and regulations (including, without limitation, building and zoning codes, laws and regulations and laws relating to access to such properties), except if and to the extent disclosed in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or except for such failures to comply that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to interfere in any material respect with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and its Subsidiaries or otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Company or its Subsidiaries has received from any Governmental Authorities any notice of any condemnation of, or zoning change affecting, the properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and the Company knows of no such condemnation or zoning change which is threatened, except for such that would not reasonably be expected to interfere in any material respect with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and its Subsidiaries or otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect, individually or in the aggregate.

ee) Environmental Laws. The Company and its Subsidiaries (i) are, in compliance with any and all applicable federal, state, provincial, local and foreign laws, rules, regulations, decisions and orders relating to the protection of human health and safety, the environment or hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, pollutants or contaminants (collectively, “Environmental Laws”); (ii) have received and are in compliance with all permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses as described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus; and (iii) have not received notice of any actual or potential liability for the investigation or remediation of any disposal or release of hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, pollutants or contaminants, except, in the case of any of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above, for any such failure to comply or failure to receive required permits, licenses, other approvals or liability as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

14

ff) Disclosure Controls. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries maintain systems of internal accounting controls designed to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective and the Company is not aware of any material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting. Since the date of the latest audited financial statements of the Company included in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (other than as set forth in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus). The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15) for the Company and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company and each of its Subsidiaries is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as the case may be, is being prepared. The Company’s certifying officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing date of the Form 10-K for the fiscal year most recently ended (such date, the “Evaluation Date”). The Company presented in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year most recently ended the conclusions of the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date and the disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Since the Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls (as such term is defined in Item 307(b) of Regulation S-K under the Act) or, to the Company’s knowledge, in other factors that could significantly affect the Company’s internal controls.

gg) Sarbanes-Oxley. There is and has been no failure on the part of the Company, or, to the Company’s knowledge, any of the Company’s directors or officers, in their capacities as such, to comply in all material respects with any applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Each of the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer of the Company (or each former principal executive officer of the Company and each former principal financial officer of the Company as applicable) has made all certifications required by Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act with respect to all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it or furnished by it to the Commission.

ll) Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. There are no transactions, arrangements and other relationships between and/or among the Company, and/or any of its affiliates and any unconsolidated entity, including, but not limited to, any structured finance, special purpose or limited purpose entity (each, an “Off-Balance Sheet Transaction”) that could reasonably be expected to affect materially the Company’s liquidity or the availability of or requirements for its capital resources, including those Off-Balance Sheet Transactions described in the Commission’s Statement about Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations (Release Nos. 33-8056; 34-45321; FR-61), required to be described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus which have not been described as required.

nn) ERISA. To the knowledge of the Company, each material employee benefit plan, within the meaning of Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), that is maintained, administered or contributed to by the Company or any of its affiliates for employees or former employees of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries has been maintained in material compliance with its terms and the requirements of any applicable statutes, orders, rules and regulations, including but not limited to ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”); no prohibited transaction, within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, has occurred which would result in a material liability to the Company with respect to any such plan excluding transactions effected pursuant to a statutory or administrative exemption; and for each such plan that is subject to the funding rules of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA, no “accumulated funding deficiency” as defined in Section 412 of the Code has been incurred, whether or not waived, and the fair market value of the assets of each such plan (excluding for these purposes accrued but unpaid contributions) exceeds the present value of all benefits accrued under such plan determined using reasonable actuarial assumptions.

oo) Forward-Looking Statements. No forward-looking statement (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act) (a “Forward-Looking Statement”) contained in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus has been made or reaffirmed without a reasonable basis or has been disclosed other than in good faith.

pp) Margin Rules. Neither the issuance, sale and delivery of the Securities, the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the warrant certificates representing such Warrants or the application of the proceeds thereof by the Company as described in the Registration Statement, the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus will violate Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other regulation of such Board of Governors.

qq) Insurance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries carry, or are covered by, insurance in such amounts and covering such risks as the Company and each of its Subsidiaries reasonably believe are adequate for the conduct of their business and as is customary for companies engaged in similar businesses in similar industries. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with the terms of such policies and instruments in all material respects; and there are no material claims by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any such policy or instrument as to which any insurance company is denying liability or defending under a reservation of rights clause; neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for; and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

24

2.            Purchase and Sale. Subject to the terms and conditions and in reliance upon the representations and warranties herein set forth, the Company agrees to sell to each Underwriter, and each Underwriter agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company, at a purchase price per Underwritten Share of $6.58 and a purchase price per Warrant of $6.579, the number of Underwritten Shares and Warrants set forth opposite such Underwriter’s name in Schedule I hereto.

3.            Delivery and Payment. (a) The Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered to the Representatives for the accounts of the several Underwriters the Securities in accordance with the Underwriters’ instructions, at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on August 12, 2024, or at such time on such later date not more than one Business Day after the foregoing date as the Representatives shall designate, which date and time may be postponed by agreement between the Representatives and the Company or as provided in Section 9 hereof (such date and time of delivery and payment for the Securities being herein called the “Closing Date”), against the irrevocable release of a wire transfer of immediately available funds for the amount of the purchase price therefor. If the Representatives so elect, delivery of the Securities may be made by credit to the account designated by the Representatives through The Depository Trust Company’s full fast transfer or DWAC programs. If the Representatives so elect, the certificates for the Securities, if any, shall be registered in such names and denominations as the Representatives shall have requested at least one full Business Days prior to the Closing Date and shall be made available for inspection on the Business Day preceding the Closing Date at a location in New York City as the Representatives may designate; provided, however, that if the Company, upon the instruction of the Representatives, registers the Warrants in the name of any person or entity to whom any Underwriter intends to sell such Warrants, then such Underwriter shall have the right to thereafter request the re-registration of such Warrants (and the Company shall be required to re-register such Warrants) in the name of any other person or entity (it being understood that such re-registration is intended to permit an Underwriter to resell such Warrants in the event that the person or entity to whom such Underwriter originally intended to sell such Warrants shall fail to pay the purchase price of such Warrants). Time shall be of the essence, and delivery at the time and place specified in this Agreement is a further condition to the obligations of the Underwriters. “Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, a Sunday or a legal holiday or a day on which banking institutions or trust companies are authorized or obligated by law to close in New York City.

(b)            Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and the Representatives shall instruct purchasers of the Warrants in the offering to make payment for the Warrants on the Closing Date to the Company by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Company, in lieu of payment by the Underwriters for such Warrants, and the Company shall deliver such Warrants to such purchasers on the Closing Date in definitive form against such payment, in lieu of the Company’s obligation to deliver such Warrants to the Underwriters; provided that the Company shall promptly (but in no event later than the Closing Date) pay $0.42 per such Warrant to the Underwriters by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account specified by the Representatives.

25

(c)            In the event that the purchasers of the Warrants in the offering fail to make payment to the Company for all or part of the Warrants on the Closing Date, the Representatives may elect, by written notice to the Company, to receive Common Shares in lieu of all or a portion of such Warrants to be delivered to the Underwriters under this Agreement against the irrevocable release of a wire transfer of immediately available funds for the amount of the purchase price per Common Share listed in Section 2 hereof.

4.            Offering by Underwriters. It is understood that the several Underwriters propose to offer the Securities for sale to the public as set forth in the Prospectus. Each of the Underwriters covenants to the Company that it will not offer or sell any of the Securities in Canada or knowingly to a person resident in Canada pursuant to this Agreement. Each Underwriter that is not resident in Canada for the purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada) severally and not jointly represents and warrants to the Company that such Underwriter has not rendered nor will it render any services hereunder physically in Canada and no portion of any discount, fee or commission payable to such Underwriter will relate to services rendered physically in Canada.

5.            Agreements. The Company agrees with the several Underwriters that:

(a)            Prior to the termination of the offering of the Securities, the Company will not file any amendment of the Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus unless the Company has furnished you a copy for your review prior to filing and will not file any such proposed amendment or supplement to which you reasonably object. The Company will cause the Prospectus, properly completed, and any supplement thereto to be filed in a form approved by the Representatives with the Commission pursuant to the applicable paragraph of Rule 424(b) within the time period prescribed and will provide evidence satisfactory to the Representatives of such timely filing. The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 430B and promptly advise the Representatives (i) when the Prospectus, any supplement thereto, shall have been filed (if required) with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b), (ii) when, prior to termination of the offering of the Securities, any amendment to the Registration Statement shall have been filed or become effective, (iii) of any request by the Commission or its staff for any amendment of the Registration Statement, or for any supplement to the Prospectus or for any additional information, (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of any notice objecting to its use or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose, (v) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose and (vi) of the receipt by the Company of any comments from the Commission. The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or the occurrence of any such suspension or objection to the use of the Registration Statement and, upon such issuance, occurrence or notice of objection, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal of such stop order or relief from such occurrence or objection, including, if necessary, by filing an amendment to the Registration Statement or a new registration statement and using its best efforts to have such amendment or new registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable. The Company shall pay the required Commission filing fees relating to the Securities within the time required by Rule 456(b)(1)(i) under the Act without regard to the proviso therein and otherwise in accordance with Rules 456(b) and 457(r) under the Act (including, if applicable, by updating the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in accordance with Rule 456(b)(1)(ii) either in a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or in an exhibit to a prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)).

26

(b)            If, at any time prior to the filing of the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b), any event or development occurs as a result of which the Disclosure Package would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made at such time not misleading, the Company will (i) notify promptly the Representatives so that any use of the Disclosure Package may cease until it is amended or supplemented; (ii) amend or supplement the Disclosure Package to correct such statement or omission; and (iii) supply any amendment or supplement to you in such quantities as you may reasonably request.

(c)            If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Securities is required to be delivered under the Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172 under the Act (“Rule 172”)) (the “Prospectus Delivery Period”), any event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus as then supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made or the circumstances then prevailing not misleading, or if it shall be necessary to amend the Registration Statement or supplement the Prospectus to comply with the Act or the rules thereunder, the Company promptly will (i) notify the Representatives of any such event; (ii) prepare and file with the Commission, subject to the second sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 5, an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance; and (iii) supply any supplemented Prospectus to you in such quantities as you may reasonably request.

(d)            During the Prospectus Delivery Period, the Company will file all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13, 14 and 15 of the Exchange Act in the manner and within the time periods required by the Exchange Act.

(f)             Upon request, the Company will furnish to the Representatives and counsel for the Underwriters, without charge, signed copies of the Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto) and to each other Underwriter a copy of the Registration Statement (without exhibits thereto) and, so long as delivery of a prospectus by an Underwriter or dealer may be required by the Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172), as many copies of each Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and any supplement thereto as the Representatives may reasonably request. The Company will pay the expenses of printing or other production of all documents relating to the offering of the Securities.

27

(g)            The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to arrange, if necessary, for the qualification of the Securities for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representatives may designate and will maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Securities; provided that (i) in no event shall the Company be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to service of process in suits, other than those arising out of the offering or sale of the Securities, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject and (ii) no Securities shall be offered and sold in Canada or knowingly to a resident in Canada, pursuant to this Agreement.

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter, the directors, officers, employees, affiliates and agents of each Underwriter and each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act (collectively, “Underwriter Indemnitees”) against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any Preliminary Prospectus, or the Prospectus, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any roadshow defined in Rule 433(h) of the Act or any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Representatives) in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, including any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or the settlement thereof (provided that, subject to Section 8(d) below, any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company); provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.

(b)            Each Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to each Underwriter, but only with reference to written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any Underwriter may otherwise have. The Company acknowledges that the following statements set forth in the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus under the heading “Underwriting”: (i) the fifth paragraph thereof related to selling concessions and (ii) the twelfth and thirteenth paragraphs thereof related to stabilization and syndicate covering transactions, constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the several Underwriters for inclusion in the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication.

34

(c)            Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under subsection (a) or (b) above, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under subsection (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above. In the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Representatives, and, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Company. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any relevant local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of an indemnified party.

(d)            If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 8(a) hereof effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement.

35

(e)            In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company and the Underwriters severally agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating, preparing or defending the same, including against any litigation, investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based on any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission referred to in Section 8(a)) (collectively “Losses”) to which the Company and one or more of the Underwriters may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and by the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities; provided, however, that in no case shall any Underwriter (except as may be provided in any agreement among underwriters relating to the offering of the Securities) be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the Securities purchased by such Underwriter hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company and the Underwriters severally shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by it, and benefits received by the Underwriters shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions, in each case as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company on the one hand or by the Underwriters on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (e), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 8, each person who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee, affiliate and agent of an Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this Section 8(e). The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 8(e) are several in proportion to the number of Securities set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I hereto and not joint.

9.            Default by an Underwriter. If any one or more Underwriters shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities agreed to be purchased by such Underwriter or Underwriters hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Underwriters shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the amount of Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Underwriters) the Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate amount of Securities which the defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate amount of Securities set forth in Schedule I hereto, the remaining Underwriters shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Securities, and if such nondefaulting Underwriters do not purchase all the Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Underwriter or the Company. In the event of a default by any Underwriter as set forth in this Section 9, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five Business Days, as the Representatives shall determine in order that the required changes in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability, if any, to the Company and any nondefaulting Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

36

10.            Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

(a)            In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b)            In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(c)            As used in this section:

37

12.          Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company or its officers and of the Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or the Company or any of the officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. The provisions of Sections 7 and 8 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

15.          No Fiduciary Duty.

Furthermore, the Company agrees that it is solely responsible for making its own judgments in connection with the offering (irrespective of whether any of the Underwriters has advised or is currently advising the Company on related or other matters). The Company agrees that it will not claim that the Underwriters have rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owe an agency, fiduciary or similar duty to the Company, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

38

16.          Integration. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company and the Underwriters, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

19.          Judgment Currency. The Company agrees to indemnify each Underwriter and Underwriter Indemnitee against any loss incurred by such Underwriter as a result of any judgment or order being given or made for any amount due hereunder and such judgment or order being expressed and paid in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than U.S. dollars and as a result of any variation as between (1) the rate of exchange at which the U.S. dollar amount is converted into the Judgment Currency for the purpose of such judgment or order, and (2) the rate of exchange at which such indemnified person is able to purchase U.S. dollars with the amount of the Judgment Currency actually received by the indemnified person. The foregoing indemnity shall constitute a separate and independent obligation of the Company and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any such judgment or order as aforesaid. The term “rate of exchange” shall include any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of, or conversion into, the relevant currency.

20.          Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Leerink Partners LLC

As Representative of the several Underwriters,

c/o Leerink Partners LLC

1301 Avenue of the Americas, 5th Floor

New York, New York 10019

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter is being delivered to you in connection with the proposed Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”), between Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (the “Company”), and Leerink Partners LLC (the “Representative”) as representative of a group of Underwriters named therein, relating to an underwritten public offering of common shares, no par value per share (the “Common Shares”), of the Company (the “Offering”).

In order to induce you and the other Underwriters to enter into the Underwriting Agreement, the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of Leerink Partners LLC, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement or otherwise) by the undersigned or any immediate family members residing in the same household as the undersigned), directly or indirectly, including the filing (or participation in the filing) of a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in respect of, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder with respect to, any shares of capital stock of the Company or any securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for such capital stock (collectively, “Securities”) beneficially owned (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act), or publicly announce an intention to effect any such transaction, for a period from the date hereof until 90 days after the date of the Underwriting Agreement (the “Restricted Period”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to the conditions below, the undersigned shall be permitted to transfer the undersigned’s Securities without the prior written consent of Leerink Partners LLC, provided that (1) in any such case described in clauses (i) through (iv), (vi) and (vii) below, the Representative receives a signed lock-up agreement for the balance of the Restricted Period from each donee, trustee, distributee, or transferee, as the case may be, (2) no filing by any party under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, or other public announcement, shall be required to be made during the Restricted Period, except, in the case of clauses (vii), (viii) and (ix) below, a filing required to be made under Section 16 of the Exchange Act, which shall clearly indicate that (a) the transfer relates to the circumstances described in clause (vii), (viii) or (ix), as applicable), (b) for clause (viii), other than shares transferred to the Company in the circumstances described in clause (viii), no shares were sold by the reporting person, and (c) for clause (viii), any shares issued upon such exercise described in (viii) and not transferred to the Company remain subject to the terms of this agreement, (3) the undersigned does not otherwise voluntarily effect any public filing, report or announcement regarding such transfers and (4) in the case of clauses (i) through (iv) and (vii), any such transfer does not involve a disposition for value:

(i)            as a bona fide gift or gifts;

(ii)           to any immediate family member of the undersigned or a trust established for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or immediate family members of the undersigned (for purposes of this lock-up agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin);

(iii)          as a distribution to partners, members, shareholders or trust beneficiaries of the undersigned;

(iv)          if the undersigned is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity, to any direct or indirect affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amendment) or to any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by the undersigned or any investment fund or other entity that controls the undersigned;

(v)           to the extent acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Offering, provided, that no filing under Section 16 of the Exchange Act or other public announcement reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of Common Shares shall be required or be made voluntarily by the undersigned as a result of any such transaction during the Restricted Period;

(vi)          by will, testamentary document or intestate succession;

(vii)         pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, divorce decree or court order;

(viii)        (a) the receipt by the undersigned from the Company of Common Shares upon the exercise of options, settlement of restricted share units or other equity awards granted under a share incentive plan or other equity award plan, which plan is described in the registration statement related to the Offering (the “Registration Statement”) and the prospectus related to the Offering (the “Prospectus”), or the exercise of warrants outstanding and which are described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, or (b) the sale or transfer of Common Shares or any securities convertible into Common Shares to the Company upon the vesting, exercise, or settlement of restricted share units, options, warrants or other Company securities (including, in each case, by way of a “cashless” or “net” exercise basis and any transfer to the Company necessary in respect of such amount needed for the payment of taxes, including estimated taxes, and remittance payments due as a result of such vesting, settlement or exercise including by means of a “net settlement,” or otherwise), provided that the shares received upon the vesting, exercise or settlement are subject to the terms of this lock-up agreement; or

(ix)           sales of Common Shares pursuant to a 10b5-1 Plan, including “sell-to-cover” sales; provided that such 10b5-1 Plan was established prior to the execution of this letter agreement by the undersigned and such 10b5-1 Plan will not be amended or otherwise modified during the Restricted Period without the prior written consent of the Company.

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned shall be permitted to transfer the undersigned’s Securities pursuant to a bona fide third-party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction made to all holders of the Company involving a Change of Control of the Company and approved by the Company’s board of directors (including, without limitation, the entering into of any lock-up, voting or similar agreement pursuant to which the undersigned may agree to transfer, sell, tender or otherwise dispose of Common Shares or such other securities in favor of any such transaction); provided that, in the event that such Change of Control transaction is not completed, the undersigned’s Securities shall remain subject to the restrictions contained in this lock-up agreement. “Change of Control” shall mean the transfer (whether by tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction), in one transaction or a series of related transactions, to a person (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) or group of affiliated persons (other than an Underwriter pursuant to the Offering), of the Company’s voting securities if, after such transfer, such person or group of affiliated persons would become the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 of the Exchange Act) of at least 50% of the outstanding voting power of the voting securities of the Company (or the surviving entity) and for the avoidance of doubt, the Offering is not a Change of Control.

Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, the undersigned may establish a written trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of Securities, provided that (A) such plan does not provide for the transfer of Securities during the Restricted Period and (B) no filing by any party under the Exchange Act or other public announcement shall be made voluntarily regarding the establishment of any such plan, and if any such filing or public announcement is required to be made during the Restricted Period, such filing or public announcement shall clearly indicate therein that no Securities subject to such plan may be transferred pursuant to such plan until after the expiration of the Restricted Period.

The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Representative has not provided any recommendation or investment advice nor has the Representative solicited any action from the undersigned with respect to the Offering and the undersigned has consulted their own legal, accounting, financial, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent deemed appropriate. The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the Securities except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

The undersigned represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power, capacity and authority to enter into this letter agreement. This agreement is irrevocable and will be binding on the undersigned and the successors, heirs, personal representatives and assigns of the undersigned. This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

The agreement set forth above shall be terminated upon the earliest of: (i) August 31, 2024 in the event that the Underwriting Agreement has not been executed by that date, (ii) the date that the Company advises the Representative, in writing, prior to the execution of the Underwriting Agreement, that it has determined not to proceed with the Offering, and (iii) if for any reason the Underwriting Agreement shall be terminated prior to the closing of the Offering. The undersigned understands that the Underwriters are entering into the Underwriting Agreement and proceeding with the Offering in reliance upon this lock-up agreement.
