Explanatory Note

 

As previously disclosed, on January 15, 2024, in connection with the closing of its initial business combination, Psyence Biomedical Ltd., a corporation organized under the laws of Ontario, Canada (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) by and among the Company, certain affiliates and certain investors (the “Investors”) relating to a convertible debt financing provided to the Company in installments pursuant to up to four senior secured convertible notes (collectively, the “Notes” and the transactions entered into pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the “Financing”), obligations under which are guaranteed by certain assets of the Company and an affiliate, issuable to the Investors for the aggregate principal amount of up to $12,500,000 in exchange for up to $10,000,000 in subscription amounts.

 

As previously disclosed, the Notes for the first tranche of the Financing (the “First Tranche Notes”), for a total of $3,125,000 of principal in exchange for a total of $2,500,000 in subscription amounts, were issued to the Investors substantially concurrently with, and contingent upon, the closing of the Company’s initial business combination.

 

On May 31, 2024, the Company issued two additional Notes (the “Second Tranche Notes”) for a portion of the second tranche of the Financing (the “Second Tranche”), for an aggregate total of $312,500 principal in exchange for $250,000 provided by the Investors. The Investors were not obligated to fund any of the Second Tranche because the Company was not in compliance with all of the covenants under the Securities Purchase Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Investors agreed to fund a portion of the Second Tranche on such date and may continue to do so at its discretion.

 

The Second Tranche Notes are substantially the same as the First Tranche Notes, except that the conversion floor and first and second reset dates have been removed, as these applicable dates have passed. Interest on the Second Tranche Notes accrues at 8.0% per annum, based on the outstanding principal amount of the Second Tranche Notes, and is payable monthly in arrears in cash or in the Company’s common shares (the “Common Shares”) (at the applicable conversion price).

 

The initial conversion price is the lowest daily VWAP during the period commencing on January 25, 2024 until the earlier of (i) the date of conversion of the Second Tranche Note and (ii) the date on which the registration statement for the shares underlying the First Tranche Note is declared effective (or May 14, 2024) and is subject to reset on July 25, 2024, October 25, 2024, January 25, 2025, at which time the conversion price will be reset to the lower of (i) the initial conversion price and (ii) the average daily VWAP for the previous ten (10) trading days prior to such reset.

 

The Common Shares underlying the Second Tranche Notes are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), dated as of January 25, 2024, by and among the Company and the Investors. As previously disclosed, pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to file a registration statement covering the resale of the Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the Second Tranche Notes (the “Registration Statement”), and to use its best efforts to have such Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the applicable Effectiveness Deadline (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement). The Registration Rights Agreement contains certain penalty provisions, subject to certain conditions and cure periods, for the Company failing to (i) file a registration statement by certain deadlines set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, (ii) cause a registration statement to be declared effective by certain deadlines set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, (iii) maintain certain circumstances and conditions allowing the resale of certain securities or (iv) satisfy the requirements of Rule 144(c)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 if a registration statement is not effective. The Registration Rights Agreement also provides the Investors with customary piggyback registration rights under certain circumstances.

 

The foregoing summary of the Second Tranche Notes does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of, as applicable, the Securities Purchase Agreement, filed as Exhibit 4.3 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F; the Form of Senior Secured Convertible Note, filed as Exhibit 4.2 to this Form 6-K; and the Form of Registration Rights Agreement filed as Exhibit 4.15 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.
