CYBIN ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF THE OVERSUBSCRIBED PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF U.S. $150 MILLION

Cybin Inc. has closed the company's previously announced private placement of 348,837,210 common shares in the capital of the company at a price of 43 U.S. cents per common share. Aggregate gross proceeds from the private placement were $150-million (U.S.) before deducting fees and expenses of the offering.

The oversubscribed private placement was led by Deep Track Capital and included participation from RA Capital Management, Avidity Partners, Acorn Bioventures, Altium Capital, Logos Capital, Octagon Capital, Rosalind Advisors, Sphera Healthcare and other institutional investors.

The net proceeds of the private placement are expected to be used for certain phase 3 drug development activities for CYB003, for working capital and for general corporate purposes. CYB003, is a proprietary deuterated psilocybin analogue in development for the potential treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD). If approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), CYB003 would be the first known adjunctive psychedelic-based therapeutic for the treatment of MDD.

Bloom Burton Securities Inc. acted as the lead agent for the private placement, which also included Haywood Securities Inc.

"We are extremely grateful for this infusion of capital, which will enable us to continue advancing our next-generation psychedelic development programs," stated Doug Drysdale, chief executive officer of Cybin. "We are especially encouraged by the level of interest and support from a high-quality syndicate of investors -- all of which validates our clinical findings to date and the promise of addressing the unmet need across mental health disorders."

In the United States, the common shares were offered on a private placement basis pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The company has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to either: (a) subject to the issuance of a receipt in Canada for an amendment to the corporation's short form base shelf prospectus dated Aug. 17, 2023, as amended on Dec. 22, 2023; and (i) prepare, file with and have declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) an amendment to its registration statement on Form F-10 (file No. 333-276333) containing the foregoing amendment to the base shelf prospectus; and (ii) file a prospectus supplement to the base shelf prospectus with the Ontario Securities Commission and with the SEC pursuant to General Instruction II.L of Form F-10; or (b) file a registration statement on such other form as may be available to the company, in either case qualifying the resale of the common shares issued in the private placement by certain non-Canadian purchasers.
