(via TheNewswire)
Vancouver, British Columbia, October 14, 2025 — TheNewswire - Mydecine Innovations Group Inc. (the “Company”) (CSE: MYCO) (FSE: 0NF0) (OTC: MYCOF) is pleased to announce that it has closed the previously announced debt settlement agreements (the “Settlements Agreements”) to settle outstanding debts totaling USD$1,386,391 and CAD$9,432,107 owed to certain arm’s length creditors and a non-arm length creditor (the “Creditors”) of the Company for unpaid invoices, management fees, and unpaid convertible debenture.
Pursuant to the Settlement Agreements, the Company has issued five convertible debentures (the “Debentures”) to the Creditors (the “Debt Settlements”) with details set out below.
The board of directors of the Company has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to settle the outstanding debts by the issuance of the Debentures in order to preserve the Company's cash for working capital and to improve the Company’s financial situation.
At the Meeting, disinterested Shareholders approved Debt Settlements, with the same votes excluded as required under the minority approval provisions of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”).
(a) USD Settlement Agreements
The Company entered into debt forgiveness agreements to settle outstanding debts of USD $1,386,391 owed to two former insiders of the Company for unpaid management fees. In full and final settlement, the Company issued convertible debentures with an aggregate principal amount of USD $100,000 to the creditors, who forgave the remaining balance. The debentures will mature one year from issuance and will be convertible into common shares of the Company at a price equal to the greater of: (i) the thirty (30) day volume-weighted average trading price of the common shares immediately prior to conversion; or (ii) the minimum price permitted by the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) and applicable securities regulators.
(b) Bartch Settlement Agreement
The Company entered into a debt settlement agreement with Josh Bartch, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and a director, to settle CAD $1,309,836 of unpaid management fees. The Company issued a convertible debenture in the principal amount of CAD $1,309,836, maturing one year from issuance, and convertible beginning four (4) months and one (1) day after issuance into common shares at the greater of: (i) the twenty (20) day volume-weighted average trading price immediately prior to conversion; or (ii) the minimum price permitted by the CSE and applicable securities regulators (the “Bartch Debenture Terms”).
(c) Pioneer Settlement Agreement
The Company entered into a debt settlement agreement with Pioneer Garage Limited to settle CAD $7,878,792 in amounts owing under a prior convertible debenture and expense reimbursements. In full and final settlement, the Company issued a convertible debenture in the principal amount of CAD $7,878,792, having the same terms and conditions as the Bartch Debenture Terms.
No interest shall accrue on the foregoing debentures (collectively, the “Settlement Debentures”) prior to an event of default. Upon default, the principal will accrue interest at 8% per annum, compounded quarterly.
All securities issued are subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day under applicable securities laws.
Each of the USD Settlement Agreements, Bartch Settlement Agreement and Pioneer Settlement Agreement constitutes a “related party transaction” under MI 61-101. The Company is relying on the exemption from the formal valuation requirement in Section 5.5(g) of MI 61-101 on the basis of serious financial difficulty. Minority shareholder approval was obtained at the Meeting, with the required exclusions under MI 61-101.
Additional Settlement
The Company also closed a debt settlement agreement with an arm’s length creditor to settle CAD $243,479 of indebtedness relating to legal fees. The debt was fully settled through the issuance of a secured convertible debenture with a principal amount of USD $100,000. The debenture bears interest at 1% per month, calculated monthly in advance, accruing from the date of issuance and payable in cash at maturity on March 20, 2027. Interest on overdue interest will accrue at 12% per annum, and following an event of default will accrue at 24% per annum.
The Company may repay the debenture in whole or in part at any time prior to maturity without penalty, subject to 30 days’ prior written notice. The debenture is convertible at the holder’s option into common shares at a price equal to the greater of: (i) the thirty (30) day volume-weighted average trading price immediately prior to conversion; or (ii) the minimum price permitted by the CSE and applicable securities regulators.
