    TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / August 23, 2024 / Quantum BioPharma Ltd. (formerly, FSD Pharma Inc.) (NASDAQ:QNTM)(CSE:QNTM)(FRA:0K91) ("Quantum BioPharma" or the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to building a portfolio of innovative assets and biotech solutions, is pleased to announce the following corporate updates.

    Changes in Management

    Effective August 30, 2024, Donal Carroll will assume the role of Chief Financial Officer and Nathan Coyle will assume the role of Controller. In addition, the Company has appointed Jason Sawyer as the Head of Finance and Mergers and Acquisitions for the Company.

    Option Cancellation

    Effective today, the Company has cancelled an aggregate of 32,690 options ("Options") to purchase class B subordinate voting shares in the capital of the Company ("Class B Shares"), which were previously granted to board members, advisory board members, employees, advisors and consultants of the Company (each a "Participant"). Management reviewed the Company's outstanding Options and determined that certain Options granted to such Participants under the Company's equity incentive plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan"), at exercise prices ranging from $84.50 to $189.15 per Class B Share, no longer represented a realistic incentive to motivate such Participants.

    RSU Grant

    The Company also announces the grant of restricted share units (each, an "RSU") pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan. The Company granted an aggregate of 32,690 RSUs to certain Participants. Each RSU granted vests the earlier of: (i) one year; and (ii) the successful implementation of the MS MAD study conducted by Ingenu of Australia, subject to acceleration in the event of a takeover bid or change of control.

    All of the RSUs (and any Class B Shares issuable upon their settlement) are subject to a four month and one day hold period pursuant to the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE") and applicable securities laws.

    Debt Settlement

    The Company also announces that the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") authorized and approved bonuses (together, the "Management Bonuses") in the amount of $450,000 to each of Anthony Durkacz, Zeeshan Saeed and Donal Carroll, officers of the Company, (together, the "Executives") pursuant to the terms and conditions of certain executive agreements entered into between the Company and each of the Executives (together, the "Executive Agreements"). Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the respective Executive Agreements, each Executive is entitled to certain annual bonuses, based on the Executive and Company meeting certain performance milestones, calculated on the basis of 70% of the respective Executive's base salary for the second year of employment and 80% of the respective Executive's base salary for the third year of employment, which equates to a bonus payment of $210,000 and $240,000, respectively, for each Executive for each year of service (each, a "Bonus Payment").

    Subject to compliance with CSE policies, the Company and Executives have determined that to preserve the Company's cash, they intend to settle the Bonus Payments into Class B Shares at a deemed price of $5.44 per Class B Share (together, the "Debt Settlements"). The Common Shares would be subject to a four month and one day hold period pursuant to the polices of the CSE and applicable securities laws.

    The Company intends to complete the Debt Settlements in or around the first week of September 2024, and will disseminate a subsequent press release once completed.

    Related Party Transaction

    Each Debt Settlement constitutes a "related party transaction", as such term is defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Shareholders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") due to the involvement of each of the Executives, who are officers of the Company, and would require the Company to receive minority shareholder approval for, and obtain a formal valuation for the subject matter of, the transaction in accordance with MI 61-101, prior to the completion of each such transaction. In its consideration and approval of the Debt Settlements, the Board determined that each Debt Settlement was exempt from formal valuation and minority approval requirements of MI 61-101. The Company intends to rely on the exemptions contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, respectively, in respect of the participation of the Executives in the Debt Settlements as neither the fair market value (as determined under MI 61-101) of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the transaction, insofar as it involved the Executives, exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization (as determined under MI 61-101).
