Overview
MindMed is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel product candidates to treat brain health disorders. Our mission is to be the global leader in the development and delivery of treatments for brain health disorders that unlock new opportunities to improve patient outcomes. We are developing a pipeline of innovative product candidates, with and without acute perceptual effects, targeting neurotransmitter pathways that play key roles in brain health disorders. This specifically includes pharmaceutically optimized product candidates derived from the psychedelic and empathogen drug classes including MM120 and MM402, our lead product candidates.
Our lead product candidate, MM120, is a proprietary, pharmaceutically optimized form of lysergide D-tartrate that we are developing for the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder (“GAD”). We have also evaluated MM120 in a subperceptual repeat administration dosing regimen for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (“ADHD”). In December 2023, we announced positive topline results from our Phase 2b clinical trial of MM120 for the treatment of GAD. The trial met its primary endpoint, with MM120 demonstrating statistically significant and clinically meaningful dose-dependent improvements on the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (“HAM-A”) compared to placebo at Week 4. In January 2024, we announced that our Phase 2a trial of a sub-perceptual dose of MM120 in ADHD did not meet its primary endpoint. In conjunction with the findings from our clinical trial of MM120 in GAD, we believe that these results support the critical role of perceptual effects of MM120 in mediating a clinical response. In March 2024, we announced that the FDA granted breakthrough designation to our MM120 program for the treatment of GAD. We also announced in March 2024 that our Phase 2b trial of MM120 in GAD met its key secondary endpoint, and 12-week topline data demonstrated clinically and statistically significant durability of activity observed through Week 12.
On June 20, 2024, we announced the completion of our End-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA, supporting the advancement of MM120 into pivotal trials for the treatment of adults with GAD. Our Phase 3 clinical program for MM120 ODT is expected to consist of two clinical trials: the Voyage Study (MM120-300) and the Panorama Study (MM120-301). Both studies are comprised of two parts: Part A, which is a 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study assessing the efficacy and safety of MM120 ODT versus placebo; and Part B, which is a 40-week extension study during which participants will be eligible for open-label treatment with MM120, subject to certain conditions for re-treatment eligibility. The Voyage Study is anticipated to enroll approximately 200 participants (randomized 1:1 to receive MM120 ODT 100 µg or placebo) and the Panorama Study is anticipated to enroll approximately 240 participants (randomized 5:2:5 to receive MM120 ODT 100 µg, MM120 ODT 50 µg or placebo). We expect both studies will utilize an adaptive study design with a blinded interim sample size re-estimation, allowing for an increase in sample size by up to 50% in each study in the case of certain parameters. We expect the primary endpoint for each study is the change from baseline in HAM-A score at Week 12 between MM120 ODT 100 µg and placebo. We expect to initiate the Voyage Study in the second half of 2024 with an anticipated topline readout (Part A results) in the first half of 2026, and we expect to initiate the Panorama Study in the first half of 2025 with an anticipated topline readout (Part A results) in the second half of 2026. Both studies are subject to ongoing regulatory review and discussions, which could result in changes to study design, including of the Phase 3 clinical trials.
S-1
In addition to our Phase 3 clinical program for GAD, we are developing MM120 for the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder (“MDD”). In the first quarter of 2024, we held a pre-IND meeting with FDA to discuss the initiation of our MM120 MDD program and the study design for our planned Emerge Study (MM120-310), which like our pivotal studies in GAD is comprised of two parts: Part A, which is a 12-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study assessing the efficacy and safety of MM120 ODT versus placebo; and Part B, which is a 40-week extension study during which participants will be eligible for open-label treatment with MM120, subject to certain conditions for re-treatment eligibility. The Emerge Study is anticipated to enroll at least 140 participants (randomized 1:1 to receive MM120 ODT 100 µg or placebo). The primary endpoint is the change from baseline in Montgomery Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) score at Week 6 between MM120 ODT 100 µg and placebo. We expect to initiate the Emerge Study in the first half of 2025 with an anticipated topline readout (Part A results) in the second half of 2026.
In addition to the findings from our Phase 2b trial on comorbid depressive symptoms in GAD patients, additional evidence for the potential of lysergide in the treatment of MDD is available from a double-blind, investigator-initiated trial of lysergide in participants with MDD conducted by our collaborators at University Hospital Basel (“UHB”). In this trial, 61 participants were randomized to receive one of two treatment regimens of lysergide. Each regimen consisted of two treatment sessions separated by four weeks. In the high-dose regimen, participants received 100 µg in their first dosing session and either 100 µg or 200 µg in their second dosing session. In the control regimen, participants received 25 µg in each dosing session. The high-dose regimen (n=28) demonstrated statistically and clinically significant improvements on the primary endpoint, which was the change in clinician-rated Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology — Clinical Rating (“IDS-C”) scores six weeks after the first treatment session compared to the control regimen (n=27). Participants in the high-dose regimen demonstrated a least square mean change from baseline in IDS-C scores of -12.9 points compared to -3.6 points in the control regimen (p=0.05). The statistically significant benefit measured by IDS-C was maintained up to 16 weeks after the first session of the high-dose regimen compared to the control-dose regimen (p=0.01). According to the results reported by UHB, lysergide was generally well-tolerated in the trial, as indicated by adverse events, vital signs and laboratory values. UHB reported four serious adverse events (“SAEs”) during the trial, three of which were determined to be “possibly related” to the treatment. These SAEs were two hospitalizations due to worsening depression in the control regimen and one in the high-dose regimen. UHB noted that a participant in the control regimen who withdrew from the trial after such participant’s first session died of suicide seven months later. No treatment association was suspected and this was not reported as an SAE because it occurred after the participant withdrew from the trial. Secondary outcome measures for the trial included improvements in the self-rated version of the Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology — Self Report (IDS-SR), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-G), along with other psychiatric symptom assessments. Participants were followed for up to 16 weeks following the first treatment session.
Our second lead product candidate, MM402, also referred to as R(-)-MDMA, is our proprietary form of the R-enantiomer of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (“MDMA”), which we are developing for the treatment of autism spectrum disorder. MDMA is a synthetic molecule that is often referred to as an empathogen because it is reported to increase feelings of connectedness and compassion. Preclinical studies of R(-)-MDMA demonstrated its acute pro-social and empathogenic effects, while its diminished dopaminergic activity suggests that it has the potential to exhibit less stimulant activity, neurotoxicity, hyperthermia and abuse liability compared to racemic MDMA or the S(+)-enantiomer. In the third quarter of 2022, UHB began conducting a Phase 1 investigator-initiated trial (“IIT”) of R(-)-MDMA, S(+)-MDMA and R/S-MDMA in healthy volunteers to compare the tolerability, pharmacokinetics and acute subjective, physiological and endocrine effects of the three molecules. On June 6, 2024, UHB presented topline data from the trial at the Interdisciplinary Conference on Psychedelic Research in The Netherlands. The presentation noted that the trial indicates that R(-)-MDMA, S(+)-MDMA and R/S-MDMA induced overall similar qualitative subjective and adverse effects when dosed equivalently. The presentation also noted that S(+)-MDMA may have slightly greater stimulant like properties than R/S-MDMA and R(-)-MDMA. The pharmacokinetic findings from the trial indicate that R(-)-MDMA, but not S(+)-MDMA, inhibits the Cytochrome P450 2D6 enzyme (CYP2D6), which is the primary metabolic pathway for MDMA inactivation, and thereby its own inactivation and that of S(+)-MDMA when administered as R/S-MDMA. In addition, we have initiated our first clinical trial of MM402, a single-ascending dose trial in adult
S-2
healthy volunteers in the fourth quarter of 2023. This Phase 1 clinical trial is intended to characterize the tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of MM402.
Beyond our clinical stage product candidates, we are pursuing a number of programs, primarily through external collaborations, through which we seek to expand our drug development pipeline and broaden the potential applications of our lead product candidates. These research and development programs include non-clinical, pre-clinical and human clinical trials and IITs of additional product candidates and research compounds with our collaborators. Our external research programs include a broad multi-year exclusive research partnership with UHB in Switzerland. We also have an ongoing partnership agreement with MindShift Compounds AG to develop next-generation compounds utilizing the molecular backbone of classical psychedelics and empathogens. Our research partnerships and IITs facilitate the advancement of our early-stage pipeline and support the potential identification of product candidates for additional company-sponsored drug development programs.
Our drug development program is complemented by digital medicine projects to develop products intended to help facilitate the adoption and scalability of our product candidates, if and when they are approved. Our digital medicine projects and product roadmaps strategies, and investments are based on the projected development and commercialization strategies of our product candidates, with timelines and investments for each project contingent on the progression of the related drug program.
Our business is premised on a growing body of research supporting the use of novel psychoactive compounds to treat a myriad of brain health disorders. For all product candidates, we intend to proceed through research and development, and with marketing of the product candidates that may ultimately be approved pursuant to the regulations of the FDA and the legislation in other jurisdictions. This entails, among other things, conducting clinical trials with research scientists, using internal and external clinical drug development teams, producing and supplying drugs according to current Good Manufacturing Practices, and conducting all trials and development in accordance with the regulations of the FDA, and other legislation in other jurisdictions.

Recent Developments
Description of the Transaction
We are registering the offer and resale of an aggregate of up to 8,000,000 common shares hereunder, issuable upon the exercise of the Exchange Warrants issued to the selling stockholders in accordance with the Exchange Agreement, on behalf of the selling stockholders, to be offered and sold by the selling stockholders from time to time.
S-3
Private Placement
On March 7, 2024, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the selling stockholders, pursuant to which we issued an aggregate of 12,500,000 common shares to the selling stockholders (the “Private Placement Shares”) at a price of $6.00 per share in a private placement transaction (the “Private Placement”).
In connection with the Private Placement, we also entered into a registration rights agreement, dated March 7, 2024 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), with the selling stockholders requiring us to register the resale of the Private Placement Shares, which were subsequently registered pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 that was declared effective on April 29, 2024 by the SEC.
Exchange
On October 17, 2024, we entered into an exchange agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with the selling stockholders pursuant to which we exchanged an aggregate of 8,000,000 common shares purchased by the selling stockholders in the Private Placement for pre-funded warrants (the “Exchange Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 8,000,000 common shares with an exercise price of $0.001 per share (the “Exchange Shares”). The Exchange Warrants were issued pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), afforded by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act.
The Exchange Warrants are exercisable at any time after the date of issuance. The exercise price and the number of Exchange Shares are subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain share dividends and distributions, share splits, share combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting our common shares as well as upon any distribution of assets, including cash, securities or other property, to our shareholders. The Exchange Warrants will not expire and are exercisable in cash or by means of a cashless exercise. The selling stockholders may not exercise the Exchange Warrants if the aggregate number of common shares beneficially owned by the selling stockholders, together with its affiliates, would exceed more than 9.99% of the number of common shares outstanding following such exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Exchange Warrants. The selling stockholders may increase or decrease this percentage not in excess of 19.99% by providing at least 61 days’ prior notice to us.
In connection with entering into the Exchange Agreement, we also entered into an amendment to the Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which we have agreed to register the resale of the Exchange Shares.
Risks Associated with our Business
There are a number of risks related to our business, this offering and our common shares that you should consider before you decide to invest in our common shares. You should carefully consider all the information presented in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this prospectus supplement and in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, as updated by any subsequently filed periodic reports and other documents that are incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement. Some of the principal risks related to our business include the following:
•
We have a limited operating history, have not initiated or completed any large-scale or pivotal clinical trials, and have no products approved for commercial sale, which may make it difficult for you to evaluate our current business and likelihood of success and viability.
•
We are a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company and have incurred significant net losses since our inception, and we expect to continue to incur significant net losses for the foreseeable future.
•
We have never generated revenue and may never be profitable.
•
We will require substantial additional capital to finance our operations. If we are unable to raise such capital when needed, or on acceptable terms, we may be forced to delay, reduce and/or eliminate one or more of our research and drug development programs or future commercialization efforts.
S-4
•
We are dependent on the successful development of our product candidates. We cannot give any assurance that any of our product candidates will successfully complete clinical trials or receive regulatory approval, which is necessary before a product candidate can be commercialized.
•
Drug development is a lengthy and expensive process with uncertain timelines and uncertain outcomes. If preclinical studies or clinical trials of our product candidates are prolonged or delayed, we or our current or future collaborators may be unable to obtain required regulatory approvals, which would mean that we would be unable to commercialize our product candidates on a timely basis or at all, which will adversely affect our business.
•
Our focus is on product candidates that are subject to controlled substance laws and regulations in the territories where the products are being developed and will be marketed, if approved, and failure to comply with these laws and regulations, or the cost of compliance with these laws and regulations, may adversely affect the results of our business operations and our financial condition, both during clinical development and post approval, if any. In addition, the FDA and/or other regulatory bodies may require additional data, including with respect to abuse potential of our product candidates, before allowing us to commence a clinical trial or before approving any future marketing application we may submit.
•
Our product candidates are controlled substances, the use of which may generate public controversy. Adverse publicity or public perception regarding controlled substances and psychedelics may negatively influence the success of our product candidates.
•
We may not achieve our publicly announced milestones according to schedule, or at all.
•
The successful commercialization of our product candidates will depend in part on the extent to which governmental authorities and health insurers establish adequate reimbursement levels and pricing policies. Failure to obtain or maintain adequate coverage and reimbursement for our product candidates, if approved, could limit our ability to market those product candidates and decrease our ability to generate revenue.
•
We face competition from other biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies and our financial condition and operations will suffer if we fail to effectively compete.
•
If we infringe or are alleged to infringe intellectual property rights of third parties, our business could be harmed. Third-party claims of intellectual property infringement may prevent or delay our development and commercialization efforts.
•
We rely, and expect to continue to rely, on third parties, including independent clinical investigators, academic collaborators and contract research organizations, to conduct our preclinical studies and clinical trials. If these third parties do not successfully carry out their contractual duties or meet expected deadlines, we may not be able to obtain regulatory approval for or commercialize our product candidates and our business could be substantially harmed.
•
Our business and operations could be negatively affected if we become subject to any securities litigation or shareholder activism, which could cause us to incur significant expense, hinder execution of business and growth strategies and impact our share price.
Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company
We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act enacted in April 2012, and we will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest to occur of: (1) the last day of the first fiscal year in which we have more than $1.235 billion in annual revenue; (2) the date on which we qualify as a “large accelerated filer,” with at least $700.0 million of equity securities held by non-affiliates; (3) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period; and (4) following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common equity securities under an effective registration statement under the Securities Act. For so long as we remain an emerging growth company, we are permitted and intend to rely on certain exemptions from various public company reporting requirements, including:
•
not being required to have our internal control over financial reporting audited by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;

We discuss in greater detail many of these risks under the heading “Risk Factors” in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K, as well as any subsequent filings with the SEC incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement. Also, these forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of the document containing the applicable statement. Unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect new information or future events or developments.

These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this prospectus supplement or the applicable document incorporated by reference herein, as the case may be.

Relationship with Selling Stockholders
The selling stockholders have not had any material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates, within the past three years, except as hereinafter described. As discussed in greater detail above under the section entitled “Prospectus Summary — Description of the Transaction,” on March 7, 2024, we entered into the Securities Purchase Agreement with the selling stockholders, pursuant to which we issued an aggregate of 12,500,000 Private Placement Shares at a price of $6.00 per share in the Private Placement. In connection with the Private Placement, we also entered into the Registration Rights Agreement. On October 17, 2024, we entered into the Exchange Agreement with the selling stockholders pursuant to which we exchanged an aggregate of 8,000,000 common shares purchased by the selling stockholders in the Private Placement for Exchange Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 8,000,000 Exchange Shares. In connection with entering into the Exchange Agreement, we also entered into an amendment to the Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which we have agreed to register the resale of the Exchange Shares.
On August 9, 2024, we entered into an underwriting agreement with Leerink Partners LLC and Evercore Group L.L.C., as representatives of the several underwriters named therein, in connection with an underwritten public offering (the “Public Offering”) of (i) 9,285,511 common shares and (ii) to one of the selling stockholders, a pre-funded warrant to purchase 1,428,775 common shares. Such pre-funded warrant was sold at an offering price of $6.999 per pre-funded warrant, which represented the per share public offering price for the common shares purchased in the Public Offering less a $0.001 per share exercise price for each such pre-funded warrant.
S-13
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The selling stockholders of the common shares and any of their pledgees, assignees, donees, transferees or other successors-in-interest (each, a “selling stockholder,” and collectively, the “selling stockholders”), may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their common shares covered hereby on Nasdaq or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the common shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling common shares:
•
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
•
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the common shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
•
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
•
to or through underwriters;
•
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
•
privately negotiated transactions;
•
settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus supplement is a part;
•
in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such common shares at a stipulated price per security;
•
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
•
through the distribution of the common shares by any selling stockholder to its partners, members or stockholders;
•
directly to one or more purchasers;
•
through delayed delivery requirements;
•
by pledge to secured debts and other obligations or any transfer upon the foreclosure under such pledges;
•
a combination of any such methods of sale; or
•
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
The selling stockholders may also sell common shares under Rule 144 or any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus supplement. The common shares have not been qualified for distribution in Canada, and may not be offered or sold in Canada during the course of their distribution except pursuant to a Canadian prospectus or a prospectus exemption.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of common shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in any supplement to this prospectus supplement, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA Rule 2121.
In connection with the sale of the common shares or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell common shares short and deliver these common shares to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common shares to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these common shares. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative common shares which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of common shares offered by this prospectus supplement, which
S-14
common shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus supplement (as supplemented to reflect such transaction). The selling stockholders also may transfer the common shares in other circumstances in which the transferees, pledgees, donees or other successors-in-interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus supplement.
The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the common shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales (it being understood that the selling stockholders shall not be deemed to be underwriters solely as a result of their participation in this offering). In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the common shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The selling stockholders have informed the Company that they do not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common shares.
We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the common shares. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
We have agreed to keep this prospectus supplement effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the common shares may be resold by the selling stockholders without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144 and without the requirement for us to be in compliance with the current public information requirement under Rule 144, and (ii) all of the common shares have been sold pursuant to this prospectus supplement or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale common shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the common shares covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale of common shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common shares for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the common shares by the selling stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus supplement available to the selling stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus supplement to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

THE COMPANY
Company Overview
MindMed is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel product candidates to treat brain health disorders. Our mission is to be the global leader in the development and delivery of treatments for brain health disorders that unlock new opportunities to improve patient outcomes. We are developing a pipeline of innovative product candidates, with and without acute perceptual effects, targeting neurotransmitter pathways that play key roles in brain health disorders. This specifically includes pharmaceutically optimized product candidates derived from the psychedelic and empathogen drug classes including MM120 and MM402, our lead product candidates.
Our lead product candidate, MM120, is a proprietary, pharmaceutically optimized form of lysergide D-tartrate that we are developing for the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder (“GAD”). We have also evaluated MM120 in a subperceptual repeat administration dosing regimen for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (“ADHD”). In December 2023, we announced positive topline results from our Phase 2b clinical trial of MM120 for the treatment of GAD. The trial met its primary endpoint, with MM120 demonstrating statistically significant and clinically meaningful dose-dependent improvements on the Hamilton Anxiety rating scale compared to placebo at Week 4. In January 2024, we announced that our Phase 2a trial of a sub-perceptual dose of MM120 in ADHD did not meet its primary endpoint. In conjunction with the findings from our clinical trial of MM120 in GAD, we believe that these results support the critical role of perceptual effects of MM120 in mediating a clinical response. In March 2024, we announced that the FDA granted breakthrough designation to our MM120 program for the treatment of GAD. We also announced in March 2024 that our Phase 2b trial of MM120 in GAD met its key secondary endpoint, and 12-week topline data demonstrated clinically and statistically significant durability of activity observed through Week 12. We intend to work closely with the FDA to finalize our Phase 3 development program for MM120 in GAD. On June 20, 2024, we announced the completion of our End-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA, supporting the advancement of MM120 into pivotal trials for the treatment of adults with GAD. We are on schedule to initiate our Phase 3 clinical program for MM120 oral dissolving tablet in GAD in the second half of this year and plan to share additional details on the design of our pivotal program in the coming months.
Our second lead product candidate, MM402, also referred to as R(-)-MDMA, is our proprietary form of the R-enantiomer of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (“MDMA”), which we are developing for the treatment of autism spectrum disorder (“ASD”). MDMA is a synthetic molecule that is often referred to as an empathogen because it is reported to increase feelings of connectedness and compassion. Preclinical studies of R(-)-MDMA demonstrated its acute pro-social and empathogenic effects, while its diminished dopaminergic activity suggests that it has the potential to exhibit less stimulant activity, neurotoxicity, hyperthermia and abuse liability compared to racemic MDMA or the S(+)-enantiomer. In the third quarter of 2022, our collaborator, University Hospital Basel (“UHB”) in Switzerland, began conducting a Phase 1 investigator-initiated trial (“IIT”) of R(-)-MDMA, S(+)-MDMA and R/S-MDMA in healthy volunteers to compare the tolerability, pharmacokinetics and acute subjective, physiological and endocrine effects of the three molecules. On June 6, 2024, UHB presented topline data from the trial at the Interdisciplinary Conference on Psychedelic Research in The Netherlands. The presentation noted that the trial indicates that R(-)-MDMA, S(+)-MDMA and R/S-MDMA induced overall similar qualitative subjective and adverse effects when dosed equivalently. The presentation also noted that S(+)-MDMA may have slightly greater stimulant like properties than R/S-MDMA and R(-)-MDMA. The pharmacokinetic findings from the trial indicate that R(-)-MDMA, but not S(+)-MDMA, inhibits the Cytochrome P450 2D6 enzyme (CYP2D6), which is the primary metabolic pathway for MDMA inactivation, and thereby its own inactivation and that of S(+)-MDMA when administered as R/S-MDMA. In addition, we have initiated our first clinical trial of MM402, a single-ascending dose trial in adult healthy volunteers in the fourth quarter of 2023. This Phase 1 clinical trial is intended to characterize the tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of MM402.
Beyond our clinical stage product candidates, we are pursuing a number of programs, primarily through external collaborations, through which we seek to expand our drug development pipeline and broaden the potential applications of our lead product candidates. These research and development programs
4
include non-clinical, pre-clinical and human clinical trials and IITs of additional product candidates and research compounds with our collaborators. Our external research programs include a broad multi-year exclusive research partnership with UHB in Switzerland. Under the partnership, we have exclusive worldwide rights to data, compounds and patent rights associated with UHB’s research on lysergide and a number of additional compounds, including data from preclinical studies and clinical trials investigating the effects of lysergide in patient populations and healthy volunteers. We also have an ongoing partnership agreement with MindShift Compounds AG to develop next-generation compounds utilizing the molecular backbone of classical psychedelics and empathogens. In addition, we have in the past and will continue to engage in other relevant research collaborations to support our ongoing development efforts and potential additions to our pipeline. Our research partnerships and IITs facilitate the advancement of our early-stage pipeline and support the potential identification of product candidates for additional company-sponsored drug development programs.
Our drug development program is complemented by digital medicine projects to develop products intended to help facilitate the adoption and scalability of our product candidates, if and when they are approved. Our digital medicine projects and product roadmaps, and strategies, and investments are based on the projected development and commercialization strategies of our product candidates, with timelines and investments for each project contingent on the progression of the related drug program.
Our business is premised on a growing body of research supporting the use of novel psychoactive compounds to treat a myriad of brain health disorders. For all product candidates, we intend to proceed through research and development, and with marketing of the product candidates that may ultimately be approved pursuant to the regulations of the FDA and the legislation in other jurisdictions. This entails, among other things, conducting clinical trials with research scientists, using internal and external clinical drug development teams, producing and supplying drugs according to current Good Manufacturing Practices, and conducting all trials and development in accordance with the regulations of the FDA, and other legislation in other jurisdictions.

Recent Developments
12-week Durability Data from Phase 2b Study of MM120 for GAD
On March 7, 2024, we announced that the FDA granted breakthrough designation to our MM120 program for the treatment of GAD. We also announced that our Phase 2b trial of MM120 in GAD met its
5
key secondary endpoint, and 12-week topline data demonstrated clinically and statistically significant durability of activity observed through Week 12.
MM120 100µg — the dose with optimal clinical activity observed in the trial — demonstrated a 7.7-point improvement over placebo at Week 12 (-21.9 MM120 vs. -14.2 placebo; p<0.003 Cohen’s d=0.81), with a 65% clinical response rate and a 48% clinical remission rate sustained to Week 12. Clinical Global Impressions -Severity (CGI-S) scores on average improved from 4.8 to 2.2 in the 100µg dose group, representing a two-category shift from ‘markedly ill’ to ‘borderline ill’ at Week 12 (p<0.004). This clinical activity was rapid, observed as early as trial day 2, and durable with further improvements observed in mean HAM-A or CGI-S scores between Weeks 4 and 12.
In the Phase 2b trial, known as MMED008, MM120 was generally well-tolerated with most adverse events rated as mild to moderate, transient, occurring on dosing day, and being consistent with expected acute effects of the trial drug. The most common adverse events, with at least 10% incidence on dosing day in the 100µg dose group, included illusion, nausea, headache, hallucination, euphoric mood, anxiety, mydriasis, hyperhidrosis, paresthesia, fatigue, blood pressure increase, abnormal thinking, and altered state of consciousness.
Prior to treatment with MM120, study participants were clinically tapered and then washed out from any anxiolytic or antidepressant treatments and did not receive any form of study-related psychotherapy for the duration of their participation in the study.
March Financings
Underwritten Offering
On March 7, 2024, we entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Leerink Partners LLC and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., as representatives of the underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), in connection with the issuance and sale by us in an underwritten offering (the “Offering”) of 16,666,667 of our common shares at an offering price of $6.00 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions.
The net proceeds from the Offering were approximately $93.5 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses payable by us. The Offering closed on March 11, 2024. We intend to use the net proceeds from the Offering for (i) the research and development of our product candidates and (ii) working capital and general corporate purposes.
The Offering was made pursuant to our shelf registration statements on Form S-3 (File Nos. 333-264648 and 333-277726), together, the “Registration Statements”), which were filed with the SEC on May 4, 2022 and March 7, 2024, respectively, and declared effective by the SEC or automatically became effective on May 16, 2022 and March 7, 2024, respectively, and a related base prospectus, as supplemented by a prospectus supplement.

If underwriters are used in the sale, they will acquire the securities for their own account and may resell the securities from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable underwriting agreement. We, or any selling security holders, as applicable, may offer the securities being offered by this prospectus to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or by underwriters without a syndicate. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, subject to certain conditions, the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all of the securities offered by the applicable prospectus supplement, other than securities covered by any purchase option. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may change from time to time. We, or any selling security holders, as applicable, may use underwriters, dealers or agents with whom we, or any selling security holders, as applicable, have a material relationship. We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement, naming the underwriter, dealer or agent, the nature of any such relationship.
11
If we, or any selling security holders, as applicable, offer and sell securities through a dealer, we, or any selling security holders, as applicable, or an underwriter will sell the securities to the dealer, as principal. The dealer may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to be determined by the dealer at the time of resale. The name of the dealer and the terms of the transaction will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.
We, or any selling security holders, as applicable, may sell securities directly or through agents we, or any selling security holders, as applicable, designate from time to time. We will name any agent involved in the offering and sale of securities and we will describe any commissions we, or any selling security holders, as applicable, will pay to the agent in the applicable prospectus supplement. Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, such agent will act on a best-efforts basis for the period of its appointment.
Dealers and agents participating in the distribution of the securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and compensation received by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts. If such dealers or agents were deemed to be underwriters, they may be subject to statutory liabilities under the Securities Act.
We, or any selling security holders, as applicable, may use a remarketing firm to offer the securities being offered by this prospectus in connection with a remarketing arrangement upon their purchase. Remarketing firms will act as principals for their own account or as agents for us, or any selling security holders, as applicable. These remarketing firms will offer or sell the securities pursuant to the terms of the securities. The applicable prospectus supplement will identify any remarketing firm and the terms of its agreement, if any, with us, or any selling security holders, as applicable, and will describe the remarketing firm’s compensation. Remarketing firms may be deemed to be underwriters in connection with the securities they remarket.
We, or any selling security holders, as applicable, may sell securities directly to one or more purchasers without using underwriters, dealers or agents. Underwriters, dealers and agents that participate in the distribution of the securities may be underwriters as defined in the Securities Act, and any discounts or commissions they receive from us, or any selling security holders, as applicable, and any profit on their resale of the securities may be treated as underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
We, or any selling security holders, as applicable, may authorize agents or underwriters to solicit offers by certain types of institutional investors to purchase securities from us, or any selling security holders, as applicable, at the public offering price set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement pursuant to delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. We will describe the conditions to these contracts and the commissions we, or any selling security holders, as applicable, must pay for solicitation of these contracts in the applicable prospectus supplement.
We, or any selling security holders, as applicable, may provide underwriters, dealers, agents or remarketing firms with indemnification against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribution with respect to payments that the underwriters, dealers, agents or remarketing firms may make with respect to these liabilities. Underwriters, dealers, agents or remarketing firms or their respective affiliates, may engage in transactions with, or perform services for, us, or any selling security holders, as applicable, in the ordinary course of business.
All securities we, or any selling security holders, as applicable, may offer, other than our common shares, will be new issues of securities with no established trading market. Any underwriter may make a market in these securities, but will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. We, or any selling security holders, as applicable, cannot guarantee the liquidity of the trading markets for any securities.
Any underwriter may engage in purchase options, stabilizing transactions, short-covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act. Purchase options involve sales in excess of the offering size, which create a short position. Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum price. Syndicate-covering or other short-covering transactions involve purchases of the securities, either through exercise of the purchase option or in the open market after the distribution is completed, to cover short positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a dealer when the securities
12
originally sold by the dealer are purchased in a stabilizing or covering transaction to cover short positions. Those activities may cause the price of the securities to be higher than it would otherwise be. If commenced, the underwriters may discontinue any of the activities at any time.
Any underwriters that are qualified market makers on Nasdaq may engage in passive market making transactions in our common shares on Nasdaq in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act, during the business day prior to the pricing of an offering, before the commencement of offers or sales of our common shares. Passive market makers must comply with applicable volume and price limitations and must be identified as passive market makers. In general, a passive market maker must display its bid at a price not in excess of the highest independent bid for such security; if all independent bids are lowered below the passive market maker’s bid, however, the passive market maker’s bid must then be lowered when certain purchase limits are exceeded. Passive market making may stabilize the market price of the securities at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

DESCRIPTION OF OUR COMMON SHARES
The following description sets forth certain material terms and provisions of our common shares that are registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act. The following description of our common shares is intended as a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to our notice of articles and our amended and restated articles, and any amendments thereto (the “Articles”), each of which are filed as exhibits to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which is incorporated by reference herein, and to the applicable provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “BCBCA”).
General
We are authorized to issue an unlimited number of our common shares, no par value per share. As of June 25, 2024, there were 72,075,076 of our common shares outstanding. As of June 25, 2024, we had approximately 78 shareholders of record. This figure does not reflect the number of beneficial owners of our common shares as a single shareholder of record often holds shares in nominee name (also referred to as, in “street name”) on behalf of multiple beneficial owners.
The holders of our common shares have no preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no conversion rights or redemption or sinking fund provisions with respect to such common shares. All our outstanding common shares are, and our common shares when issued will be, fully paid and nonassessable.
Voting. The holders of our common shares are entitled to one vote per common share on all matters to be voted on by our shareholders. A quorum will be present if at least two shareholders holding in the aggregate at least 331∕3% of the issued and outstanding common shares entitled to be voted at a meeting of shareholders are present at the meeting or represented by proxy, irrespective of the number of persons actually present at the meeting of shareholders.
Dividends. The holders of our common shares are entitled to receive dividends as and when declared by our board of directors (the “Board”). We have not declared or paid cash dividends on our share capital since our inception. We intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the operation and expansion of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Payment of future cash dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our Board after taking into account various factors, including our financial condition, operating results, current and anticipated cash needs, the requirements and contractual restrictions of then-existing debt instruments and other factors that our Board deems relevant. In addition, our ability to pay cash dividends on our share capital in the future may be limited by the terms of any future debt or we issue or any credit facilities we enter into.
Liquidation, Subdivision, or Combination. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up or other distribution of our assets among our shareholders, the holders of our common shares are entitled to share pro rata in the distribution of the balance of our assets.
Advance Notice Procedures and Shareholder Proposals
Under the BCBCA, shareholders may make proposals for matters to be considered at the annual general meeting of shareholders. Such proposals must be sent to us in advance of any proposed meeting by delivering a timely written notice in proper form to our registered office in accordance with the requirements of the BCBCA. The notice must include information on the business the shareholder intends to bring before the meeting.
In addition, our Articles require that shareholders provide us with advance notice of their intention to nominate any persons, other than those nominated by management, for election to our board of directors at a meeting of shareholders.
These provisions could have the effect of delaying the nomination of certain persons for director that are favored by the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting securities.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for our common shares is Computershare Investor Services Inc., with an address of 510 Burrard Street, 3rd Floor, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 3B9.
Listing
Our common shares are listed on Nasdaq under the trading symbol “MNMD”.

We may issue debt securities that will be represented by either:
•
“book-entry securities,” which means that there will be one or more global securities registered in the name of a depositary or a nominee of a depositary; or
•
“certificated securities,” which means that they will be represented by a certificate issued in definitive registered form.
19
We will specify in the prospectus supplement applicable to a particular offering whether the debt securities offered will be book-entry or certificated securities.
Global Securities
The debt securities of a series may be issued in the form of one or more global securities that will be deposited with a depositary or its nominees identified in the prospectus supplement relating to the debt securities. In such a case, one or more global securities will be issued in a denomination or aggregate denominations equal to the portion of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding debt securities of the series to be represented by such global security or securities.
Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for debt securities in definitive registered form, a global security may not be registered for transfer or exchange except as a whole by the depositary for such global security to a nominee of the depositary and except in the circumstances described in the prospectus supplement relating to the debt securities. The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to a series of debt securities will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to such series of debt securities.
Certificated Debt Securities
If you hold certificated debt securities issued under an indenture, you may transfer or exchange such debt securities in accordance with the terms of the indenture. You will not be charged a service charge for any transfer or exchange of certificated debt securities but may be required to pay an amount sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with such transfer or exchange.
Protection in the Event of Change of Control
Any provision in an indenture that governs the debt securities covered by this prospectus that includes any covenant or other provision providing for a put or increased interest or otherwise that would afford holders of the debt securities additional protection in the event of a recapitalization transaction, a change of control of our company, or a highly leveraged transaction will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Covenants
Unless otherwise indicated in this prospectus or the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities may not have the benefit of any covenant that limits or restricts our business or operations, the pledging of our assets or the incurrence by us of indebtedness. We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement any material covenants in respect of a series of debt securities.
Consolidation, Merger, Conveyance, Transfer or Lease
We may agree in any indenture that governs the debt securities of any series covered by this prospectus that we will not consolidate with or merge into any other person or convey, transfer or lease (as lessor) our properties and assets as, or substantially as, an entirety to any person, unless such person and such proposed transaction meets various criteria, which we will describe in detail in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Defaults and Notice
The debt securities of any series will contain events of default to be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, which may include, without limitation:
•
default in the payment of any interest upon any debt security of that series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days;
•
default in the payment of the principal of or any premium on any debt security of that series at its maturity;
•
default in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, when and as due by the terms of a debt security of that series;
20
•
default in the performance or breach of any other covenants or agreements in the indenture with respect to the debt securities of such series; and
•
certain events relating to our bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization.
If an event of default with respect to debt securities of any series covered by this prospectus shall occur and be continuing, we may agree that the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding debt securities of such series may declare the principal amount (or, if the debt securities of such series are issued at an original issue discount, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of the debt securities of such series) of all debt securities of such series or such other amount or amounts as the debt securities or supplemental indenture with respect to such series may provide, to be due and payable immediately. Any provisions pertaining to events of default and any remedies associated therewith will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Any indenture that governs the debt securities covered by this prospectus may require that the trustee under such indenture shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of a default, give to holders of debt securities of any series notice of all uncured and unwaived defaults with respect to such series known to it. However, in the case of a default that results from the failure to make any payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the debt securities of any series, or in the payment of any sinking or purchase fund installment with respect to debt securities of such series, if any, the trustee may withhold such notice if it in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the holders of debt securities of such series. Any terms and provisions relating to the foregoing types of provisions will be described in further detail in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Any indenture that governs the debt securities covered by this prospectus will contain a provision entitling the trustee to be indemnified by holders of debt securities before proceeding to exercise any trust or power under the indenture at the request of such holders. Any such indenture may provide that the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding debt securities of any series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceedings for any remedy available to the trustee, or of exercising any trust or power conferred upon the trustee with respect to the debt securities of such series. However, the trustee under any such indenture may decline to follow any such direction if, among other reasons, the trustee determines in good faith that the actions or proceedings as directed may not lawfully be taken, would involve the trustee in personal liability or would be unduly prejudicial to the holders of the debt securities of such series not joining in such direction.
Any indenture that governs the debt securities covered by this prospectus may endow the holders of such debt securities to institute a proceeding with respect to such indenture, subject to certain conditions, which will be specified in the applicable prospectus supplement and which may include, that the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the debt securities of such series then outstanding make a written request upon the trustee to exercise its power under the indenture, indemnify the trustee and afford the trustee reasonable opportunity to act. Even so, such holders may have an absolute right to receipt of the principal of or premium, if any, and interest when due, to require conversion or exchange of debt securities if such indenture provides for convertibility or exchangeability at the option of the holder and to institute suit for the enforcement of such rights. Any terms and provisions relating to the foregoing types of provisions will be described in further detail in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Modification of the Indenture
We and the trustee may modify any indenture that governs the debt securities of any series covered by this prospectus with or without the consent of the holders of such debt securities, under certain circumstances to be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.
Defeasance; Satisfaction and Discharge
The applicable prospectus supplement will outline the conditions under which we may elect to have certain of our obligations under the indenture discharged and under which the indenture obligations will be deemed to be satisfied.
21
Regarding the Trustee
We will identify the trustee and any relationship that we may have with such trustee, with respect to any series of debt securities, in the prospectus supplement relating to the applicable debt securities. You should note that if the trustee becomes a creditor of us, the indenture and the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 limit the rights of the trustee to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim, as security or otherwise. The trustee and its affiliates may engage in, and will be permitted to continue to engage in, other transactions with us and our affiliates. If, however, the trustee acquires any “conflicting interest” within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, it must eliminate such conflict or resign.
Governing Law
The law governing the indenture and the debt securities will be identified in the prospectus supplement relating to the applicable indenture and debt securities.
22
DESCRIPTION OF OUR UNITS
The following description, together with the additional information we include in any applicable prospectus supplement, summarizes the material terms and provisions of the units that we may offer under this prospectus. Units may be offered independently or together with one or more of the securities that may be offered under this prospectus, in any combination, and may be attached to or separate from those securities. While the terms we have summarized below will generally apply to any future units that we may offer under this prospectus, we will describe the particular terms of any series of units that we may offer in more detail in the applicable prospectus supplement.

General
We may issue units comprised of one or more of the securities that may be offered under this prospectus. Each unit will be issued so that the holder of the unit is also the holder of each security included in the unit. Thus, the holder of a unit will have the rights and obligations of a holder of each included security. The unit agreement under which a unit is issued may provide that the securities included in the unit may not be held or transferred separately, at any time or at any time before a specified date.
We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the terms of the series of units, including:

the designation and the material terms of the units and of the securities comprising the units, including whether, and under what circumstances, those securities may be held or transferred separately;

the rights and obligations of the unit agent, if any;

Issuance in Series
We may issue units in such amounts and in numerous distinct series as we determine.
