SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements about us and our industry that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including statements regarding our future results of operations or financial condition, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “will” or “would” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the following:

•

the timing, progress and results of our investigational MM-120 or a proprietary, pharmaceutically optimized form of lysergide ("LSD"), MM-402 or a R(-)-MDMA and MM-110 or zolunicant product candidates (together, our “lead product candidates”), including statements regarding the timing of initiation and completion of trials or studies and related preparatory work, the period during which the results of the trials will become available and our research and development programs;

•

our reliance on the success of our investigational MM-120 or LSD product candidate;

•

the timing, scope or likelihood of regulatory filings and approvals and ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approvals for product candidates for any indication;

•

our expectations regarding the size of the eligible patient populations for our lead product candidates;

•

our ability to identify third-party therapy sites to conduct our trials and our ability to identify and train appropriately qualified therapists to administer our treatments;

•

our ability to implement our business model and our strategic plans for our product candidates;

•

our ability to identify new indications for our lead product candidates beyond our current primary focuses;

•

our ability to identify, develop or acquire digital technologies to enhance our administration of our product candidates;

•

our ability to achieve profitability and then sustain such profitability;

•

our commercialization, marketing and manufacturing capabilities and strategy;

•

the pricing, coverage and reimbursement of our lead product candidates, if approved;

•

the rate and degree of market acceptance and clinical utility of our lead product candidates, in particular, and controlled substances, in general;

•

future investments in our business, our anticipated capital expenditures and our estimates regarding our capital requirements;

•

our ability to establish or maintain collaborations or strategic relationships or obtain additional funding;

•

our expectations regarding potential benefits of our investigational lead product candidates and our therapeutic approach generally;

•

our ability to obtain and maintain effective patent rights and other intellectual property protection for our product candidates or any future product candidates, and to prevent competitors from using technologies we consider important in our successful development and commercialization of our product candidates;

•

•

•

our reliance on key personnel and our ability to identify, recruit and retain skilled personnel;

•

our ability to effectively manage our growth; and

•

our ability to compete effectively with existing competitors and new market entrants.

You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q primarily on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and operating results. The outcome of the events described in these forward-looking statements is subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors described in the section titled “Risk Factors” previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 28, 2022 (the "2021 Annual Report") and in Part II, Item 1A in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties that could have an impact on the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The results, events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements may not be achieved or occur, and actual results, events or circumstances could differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.

In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based on information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. And while we believe that information provides a reasonable basis for these statements, that information may be limited or incomplete. Our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on these statements.

The forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements do not reflect the potential impact of any future acquisitions, mergers, dispositions, joint ventures or investments.

We may announce material business and financial information to our investors using our investor relations website (https://mindmed.co/investor-resources/). We therefore encourage investors and others interested in our company to review the information that we make available on our website. Our website and information included in or linked to our website are not part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc. (formerly Broadway Gold Mining Ltd.) (the “Company” or “MindMed”) is incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. Its wholly owned subsidiaries, Mind Medicine, Inc. (“MindMed US”), HealthMode, Inc., MindMed Pty Ltd., and MindMed GmbH, are incorporated in Delaware, Delaware, Australia and Switzerland respectively. Prior to February 27, 2020, the Company’s operations were conducted through MindMed US.

MindMed US was incorporated on May 30, 2019. On February 27, 2020, MindMed US completed a reverse takeover transaction with Broadway Gold Mining Ltd. (“Broadway”) by way of a plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) which resulted in Broadway becoming the legal parent company of MindMed US. MindMed US is deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the reverse takeover transaction. The reverse takeover transaction was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization and Broadway was treated as the “acquired” company for accounting purposes. The reverse takeover transaction was accounted as the equivalent of MindMed issuing stock for the net assets of Broadway, accompanied by a recapitalization. Accordingly, all historical financial information for all periods prior to the reverse takeover transaction are the consolidated financial statements of MindMed US, “as if” MindMed US is the predecessor to the Company. As a result, the consolidated balance sheets are presented as a continuance of MindMed US and the comparative figures presented are those of MindMed US.

MindMed is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel products to treat brain health disorders. The Company's mission is to be the global leader in the development and delivery of treatments that unlock new opportunities to improve patient outcomes. The Company is developing a pipeline of innovative product candidates, with and without acute perceptual effects, targeting the serotonin, dopamine and acetylcholine systems. This specifically includes pharmaceutically optimized drug products derived from the psychedelic and empathogen drug classes including LSD, R(-)-MDMA and zolunicant, or 18-MC, a congener of ibogaine.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $189.6 million. Through September 30, 2022, all the Company’s financial support has primarily been provided by proceeds from the issuance of Common Shares and warrants to purchase Common Shares.

As the Company continues its expansion, it may seek additional financing and/or strategic investments however, there can be no assurance that any additional financing or strategic investments will be available to the Company on acceptable terms, if at all. If events or circumstances occur such that the Company does not obtain additional funding, it will most likely be required to reduce its plans and/or certain discretionary spending, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to achieve its intended business objectives. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if it were unable to continue as a going concern. Management believes that it has sufficient working capital on hand to fund operations through at least the next twelve months from the date of the issuance of these financial statements.

COVID-19

To the knowledge of the Company’s management as of the date hereof, COVID-19 does not present, at this time, any specific known impacts to the Company in relation to the Company's business objectives or milestones related thereto. The Company relies on third parties to conduct and monitor the Company’s pre-clinical studies and clinical trials. However, to the knowledge of Company’s management, the ability of these third parties to conduct and monitor pre-clinical studies and clinical trials has not been and is not anticipated to be impacted by COVID-19. The Company is not currently aware of any changes in laws, regulations or guidelines, including tax and accounting requirements, arising from COVID-19 which would be reasonably anticipated to materially affect the Company’s business.

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is an emerging growth company, as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"). Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Company has elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, and as a result of this election, the condensed

consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company FASB standards’ effective dates. The Company may take advantage of these exemptions up until the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of an offering or such earlier time that it is no longer an EGC.

BASIS OF pRESENTATION AND Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2021, which are included in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report. The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in the audited financial statements for the periods ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, included in the Company’s 2021 Annual Report. Since the date of those financial statements, there have been no changes to its significant accounting policies, except as noted below.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative U.S. GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and as amended by Accounting Standards Updates of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Intercompany balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses arising from intercompany transactions, are eliminated in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s Board approved a reverse share split of the Company’s Common Shares on a 15-for-1 basis, which was effected on August 26, 2022 and which brought the bid price of the Company’s Common Shares above the minimum bid price requirement under the Nasdaq Listing Rules. No fractional Common Shares were issued as a result of the August Share Split. Each fractional Common Share remaining upon the August Share Split that was less than 1/2 of a Common Share was cancelled and each fractional Common Share that was at least 1/2 of a Common Share was changed to one whole Common Share. The August Share Split affected all Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the August Share Split, as well as the number of Common Shares available under the Company’s stock option plan and equity incentive plan. In addition, the August Share Split effected a reduction in the number of Common Shares issuable upon exercise of stock options, vesting of Restricted Share Units and exercise of warrants outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the August Share Split. All references to Common Shares, options to purchase Common Shares, share data, per share data, and related information contained in this report have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the effect of the August Share Split for all periods presented.

Foreign Currency

The Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. The Company's functional currency is the Canadian dollar (“CAD”). The local currency of the Company’s foreign affiliates is generally their functional currency. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the foreign affiliates and the parent entity, are translated from their respective functional currency to U.S. dollars using fiscal year-end exchange rates, income and expense accounts are translated at the average rates in effect during the fiscal year and equity accounts are translated at historical rates. Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are remeasured to the functional currency at the exchange rate on the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are remeasured at period-end using the period-end exchange rate.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all investments with an original maturity date at the time of purchase of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consist primarily of money market funds. The Company’s accounts, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company had cash equivalents of $140.6 million as of September 30, 2022, and no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2021.

2022 USD Financing Warrants

The 2022 USD Financing Warrants are liability classified due to being denominated in USD and not the Company's functional currency. Accordingly, the 2022 USD Financing Warrants are recognized at fair value upon issuance and are adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period. Any change in fair value is recognized in general and administrative expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Issuance costs related to warrants were expensed within general and administrative expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11 to amend certain aspects of Topic 842. These amendments provide entities with an additional (and optional) transition method to adopt Topic 842. Under this transition method, an entity initially applies the transition requirements in Topic 842 at that Topic’s effective date with the effects of initially applying Topic 842 recognized as a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other components of equity or net assets, as appropriate) in the period of adoption. On April 8, 2020, the FASB changed the effective date of this standard applicable to the Company as an emerging growth company to January 1, 2022. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2022, the adoption had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

ACQUISITIONS

HealthMode Acquisition

On February 26, 2021 the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of HealthMode Inc. (“HealthMode”), a developer of technologies using Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled digital measurement to increase the precision and speed of clinical research and patient monitoring. The Company plans to utilize these technologies in its clinical trials to enhance the quality of the data that is collected during the Company’s clinical trials.

The consideration paid for the acquisition of HealthMode was $27.6 million, and consisted of $0.5 million cash, 5,433 Multiple Voting Shares (equivalent to 543,313 Common Shares), valued at approximately $27.0 million based upon the closing price of the Company's Common Shares on the acquisition date, and $0.1 million in stock options (2,241 stock options), which are convertible into Common Shares of the Company. The Company incurred acquisition costs of $0.3 million in connection with the acquisition, primarily related to legal, accounting, and other professional services, which were recorded to general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The Company recognized this transaction as a business combination. The Company recognized approximately $9.5 million of identifiable finite-lived intangible assets and $19.9 million of goodwill related to the acquisition of HealthMode. The identifiable finite-lived intangible assets are expected to be amortized over their useful lives which are estimated to be three years. The Company did not make adjustments to the purchase price during the measurement period.

Actual and pro forma results for this acquisition have not been presented as the financial impact to the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations is not material.

The goodwill is attributable to the value of the assembled workforce, and the related expertise and developed business function. Further, the acquisition is expected to allow the Company to streamline its product development processes. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2022 and the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized. The Company classifies its assets and liabilities as either short- or long-term based on maturity and anticipated realization dates. The Company had no assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2021.


	September 30, 2022
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total

Financial liabilities:
Directors' Deferred Share Unit Liability	$	509	$	—	$	—	$	509

The fair value of the warrant liability ("2022 USD Financing Warrants") is measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The 2022 USD Financing Warrants are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy and are determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:


		September 30, 2022
Share price		$3.50 USD
Expected volatility		96.04%
Risk-free rate		4.06%
Expected life		5 years

The Company estimates the volatility of its 2022 USD Financing Warrants based on the historical volatility of select peer company common stock that is reflective of the expected remaining life of the warrants.

There were no transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021.

SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common Shares

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares, which have no par value. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had issued and outstanding 37,541,115 shares of Common Shares.

Voting Rights - The holders of Common Shares are entitled to one vote for each Common Share held. All holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive notice of any meeting of shareholders of the Company, and to attend, vote and speak at such meetings, except those meetings at which only holders of a specific class of shares are entitled to vote separately as a class under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). A quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of shareholders is two persons present at the meeting, each of whom is entitled to vote at the meeting, and who hold or represent by proxy in the aggregate not less than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Company entitled to vote at the meeting.

The Company's previous equity structure included Multiple Voting Shares, which had no par value and were eligible to be exchanged with Subordinate Voting Shares on a one-for-one-hundred basis, and Subordinate Voting Shares, which had no par value and were equivalent in rights to Common Shares. All share data shown in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes has been retroactively revised to reflect the conversion of all outstanding Multiple Voting Shares and Subordinate Voting Shares to Common Shares as of September 30, 2022.

During the first quarter of 2022, holders of 301 Multiple Voting Shares exchanged their shares for 30,137 Subordinate Voting Shares on a one-for-one-hundred basis. These Subordinate Voting Shares were subsequently redesignated as Common Shares as of June 30, 2022.

August 2022 Reverse Share Split

The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a reverse split of the Company’s Common Shares on a 15-for-1 basis (the “August Share Split”), which was effected on August 26, 2022, and which brought the bid price of the Company’s Common Shares above the minimum bid price requirement under the Listing Rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). No fractional Common Shares were issued as a result of the August Share Split. Each fractional Common Share that was remaining as a result of the August Share Split was increased to one whole Common Share. The August Share Split affected all Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the August Share Split, as well as the number of Common Shares available under the Company’s stock option plan and equity incentive plan. In addition, the August Share Split effected a reduction in the number of

Common Shares issuable upon exercise of stock options, vesting of Restricted Share Units and exercise of warrants outstanding immediately prior to the effectiveness of the August Share Split.

All references to Common Shares, options to purchase Common Shares, share data, per share data, and related information contained in these financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the effect of the August Share Split for all periods presented.

Shelf Registration and At-The-Market Facility

On May 4, 2022, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”). Pursuant to the Registration Statement, the Company may offer and sell securities having an aggregate public offering price of up to $200.0 million. In connection with the filing of the Registration Statement, the Company also entered into a sales agreement with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. as sales agents (together, the “Sales Agents”), pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell Common Shares for an aggregate offering price of up to $100.0 million under an at-the-market offering program (the “ATM”). Pursuant to the ATM, the Company will pay the Sales Agents a commission rate equal to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of any Common Shares. The Company is not obligated to make any sales of its Common Shares under the ATM. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had sold 1,955,548 Common Shares for net proceeds of $30.2 million under the ATM.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Incentive Plan

2020 Plan

On February 27, 2020, the Company adopted the MindMed Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) to advance the interests of the Company by providing employees, contractors and directors of the Company a performance incentive for continued and improved service with the Company. The Plan sets out the framework for determining eligibility as well as the terms of any stock-based compensation granted. The plan was approved by the shareholders as part of the Arrangement and is authorized to issue 15% of the Company's outstanding Common Shares under the terms of the plan.

The fair value of options issued is estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model on the date of grant with the following assumptions:


	Three Months Ended September 30,		Nine Months Ended September 30,

The expense recognized related to options during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $2.0 million and $6.0 million, respectively.

Restricted Share Units

The Company has adopted a Performance and Restricted Share Unit (“RSU”) Plan to advance the interests of the Company by providing employees, contractors and directors of the Company a performance incentive for continued and improved service with the Company. The plan sets out the framework for determining eligibility as well as the terms of any stock-based compensation granted. The plan was approved by the shareholders as part of the Arrangement. The fair value has been estimated based on the closing price of the Common Shares on the day prior to the grant.

Directors' Deferred Share Unit Plan

2021 Plan

On April 16, 2021, the Company adopted the MindMed Director's Deferred Share Unit Plan (the "DDSU Plan"). The DDSU Plan sets out a framework to grant non-executive directors DDSU's which are cash settled awards. The DDSU Plan states that the fair market value of one DDSU shall be equal to the volume weighted average trading price of a Common Share on the NEO Exchange for the five business days immediately preceding the date upon which any payment is made to settle the DDSUs. The DDSU's generally vest ratably over twelve months after grant and are settled within 90 days of the date the director ceases service to the Company.


	Number of DDSUs
Balance December 31, 2021		30,417
Issued		208,081
Settled		—
Cancelled		(24,699	)
Balance September 30, 2022		213,799

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, a nominal amount of stock-based compensation expense was recognized relating to the revaluation of the vested DDSUs, recorded in general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. There were 58,012 DDSUs vested as of September 30, 2022. The liability associated with the outstanding vested DDSUs was $0.1 million as of September 30, 2022 and was recorded to accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Stock-based Compensation Expense

Stock-based compensation expense for all equity arrangements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
Research and development	$	1,424	$	2,066	$	5,208	$	4,833
General and administrative		2,862		2,039		7,123		33,540
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	4,286	$	4,105	$	12,331	$	38,373

As of September 30, 2022, there was approximately $19.0 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense, related to unvested options granted to employees under the Company’s stock option plan that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.9 years. As of September 30, 2022, there was approximately $20.5 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense, related to RSUs granted to employees under the Company’s stock option plan that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.9 years.

10.

INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective tax rate was 0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The Company’s

effective rate is primarily driven by its jurisdictional earnings by location and a valuation allowance that eliminates the Company’s global net deferred tax assets.

The Company assesses the realizability of its deferred tax assets at each balance sheet date based on available positive and negative evidence in order to determine the amount which is more likely than not to be realized and records a valuation allowance as necessary.

11.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

As of September 30, 2022, the Company has obligations to make future payments, representing significant research and development contracts and other commitments that are known and committed in the amount of approximately $33.4 million. Most of these agreements are cancelable by the Company with notice. These commitments include agreements related to the conduct of the clinical trials, sponsored research, manufacturing, and preclinical studies.

The Company enters into research, development, and license agreements in the ordinary course of business where the Company receives research services and rights to proprietary technologies. Milestone and royalty payments that may become due under various agreements are dependent on, among other factors, clinical trials, regulatory approvals and ultimately the successful development of a new drug, the outcome and timing of which are uncertain.

The Company periodically enters into research and license agreements with third parties that include indemnification provisions customary in the industry. These guarantees generally require the Company to compensate the other party for certain damages and costs incurred as a result of claims arising from research and development activities undertaken by or on behalf of the Company. In some cases, the maximum potential amount of future payments that could be required under these indemnification provisions could be unlimited. These indemnification provisions generally survive termination of the underlying agreement. The nature of the indemnification obligations prevents the Company from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount it could be required to pay. Historically, the Company has not made any indemnification payments under such agreements and no amount has been accrued in the condensed consolidated financial statements with respect to these indemnification obligations.

Operating Lease Agreement

During April 2022, the Company entered into a 3-year operating lease for office space located in North Carolina. Total lease payments under the lease amount to approximately $0.2 million and the Company recorded a related right-of-use asset and related lease liability upon lease commencement of approximately $0.2 million. The current portion of the lease liability is recorded in accrued expenses and the noncurrent portion is recorded in other liabilities, long-term in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

12.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company had no related party expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Company incurred nominal legal fees and $0.4 million in legal fees to companies controlled by a former director of the Company during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

Overview

We are a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel products to treat brain health disorders. Our mission is to be the global leader in the development and delivery of treatments that unlock new opportunities to improve patient outcomes. We are developing a pipeline of innovative product candidates, with and without acute perceptual effects, targeting the serotonin, dopamine and acetylcholine systems. This specifically includes pharmaceutically optimized drug products derived from the psychedelic and empathogen drug classes including LSD, R(-)-MDMA and zolunicant, or 18-MC, a congener of ibogaine.

We were incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia. Our wholly owned subsidiary, Mind Medicine, Inc. (“MindMed US”) was incorporated in Delaware. Prior to February 27, 2020, our operations were conducted through MindMed US.

Since inception, we have incurred losses while advancing the research and development of our products and processes. Our net losses were $16.5 million and $17.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $51.9 million and $76.2 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $189.6 million and cash and cash equivalents of $154.5 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we continued to enhance the resources required to build our pipeline of opportunities. This included adding personnel and contract resources and ramping up the nonclinical aspects of our activities. In addition, considerable effort was directed towards employing a successful financing strategy.

Research & Development Updates

Our MM-120 (LSD D-tartrate) Phase 2 studies in GAD and ADHD are ongoing with topline results expected in late 2023. Over the near-term, we intend to prioritize the clinical research program of MM-120 in psychiatric disorders, and at the appropriate time in the future intend to continue to explore indications in other disease areas such as chronic pain. For our MM-402 or R(-)-MDMA program, we plan to initiate a Phase 1 clinical trial in 2023; we also started an investigator-initiated trial of R(-)-MDMA in the third quarter of 2022. For MM-110 (zolunicant HCl), we completed a Phase 1 study in late 2021, however, in the third quarter of 2022, we determined that any further clinical development of our MM-110 program will be subject to the pursuit of non-dilutive sources of capital and collaborations with third parties. Our external collaborations and early research and development activities have continued to progress, including the conclusion of the initial collaboration between MindMed and Nextage Therapeutics.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

We continue to monitor the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic, which has resulted in travel and other restrictions to reduce the spread of the disease. To date, we have not experienced any significant disruptions from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. All clinical and chemistry, manufacturing and control activities are currently active.

The safety, health and well-being of all patients, medical staff and our internal and external teams is paramount and is our primary focus. As the pandemic and its resulting restrictions evolve in jurisdictions across the country, we are aware that the potential

exists for further disruptions to our projected timelines. We are in close communication with our clinical teams and key vendors and are prepared to take action should the pandemic worsen and impact our business in the future.

August 2022 Reverse Share Split

As previously disclosed on May 27, 2022, we received a letter from Nasdaq’s Listing Qualifications Department notifying us that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), as the minimum bid price for our listed securities was less than $1 for the previous 30 consecutive business days. We had a period of 180 calendar days, or until November 23, 2022, to regain compliance with the rule referred to in this paragraph.

On September 13, 2022, following the completion of the August Share Split, the Company received a notice from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Office indicating that the Company had regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

Components of Operating Results

Operating Expenses

Research and Development

To date, our resources have focused primarily on the development of our MM-120, MM-110 and MM-420 programs and the commencement of related clinical activities. We have commenced clinical studies and have funded data and study acquisitions and acquired the materials required to supply our studies.

Research and development expenses account for a significant portion of our operating expenses. Research and development expenses consist primarily of direct and indirect costs incurred for the development of our product candidates, as follows:

•

payroll, consulting and benefits expenses;

•

licensing fees;

•

manufacturing costs to produce clinical trial materials;

•

clinical research costs associated with discovery, preclinical and clinical testing of our product candidates;

•

data and study acquisition cost;

•

allocated operational expenses, which include direct or allocated expenses for Information Technologies and Human Resources; and

•

other costs.

We may also incur in-process research and development expense as we acquire or in-license assets from other parties. Technology acquisitions are expensed or capitalized based upon the asset achieving technological feasibility in accordance with management’s assessment regarding the ultimate recoverability of the amounts paid and the potential for alternative future use. Acquired in-process research and development costs that have no alternative future use are immediately expensed.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation costs, including stock-based compensation, for executive management and administrative employees, including finance and accounting, legal, human resources and other offices supporting administrative functions, professional services fees, insurance expenses and allocated expenses.

We expect our general and administrative expenses to increase substantially for the foreseeable future as we continue to support our research and development activities, grow our business and, if any of our product candidates receive marketing approval, commercialization activities. We also expect to increase the size of our administrative function and facility costs to support the growth of our business.

Research and development expenses were $7.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $9.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, a decrease of $1.2 million. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $1.4 million of external costs related to the MM-110 research program and a $0.8 million decrease in preclinical activities. This decrease was partially offset by an increase of internal personnel costs of $1.5 million as we continue to expand our in-house research and development capabilities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, research and development expenses were $27.3 million, compared to $23.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $3.4 million. The increase was primarily driven by an increase of $5.6 million of internal personnel costs related to additional research and development headcount and an increase of $2.9 million in external costs related to the MM-120 research program. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of external costs related to the MM-110 research program of $3.7 million.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses were $9.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $8.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, an increase of $1.0 million. The increase was primarily related to issuance costs related to the Company's 2022 USD Financing Warrants that were issued as part of the Company's public equity offering which closed during the quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, general and administrative expenses were $25.1 million, compared to $52.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, a decrease of $27.3 million. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $26.4 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expenses relating to the modification of stock option awards and RSUs recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Other Income/(Expense)

Interest Income/(Expense), Net

Interest income (expense), net increased by approximately $0.4 million and $0.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. This was primarily due to our investment in cash equivalents during 2022.

Foreign Exchange Gain, Net

Foreign exchange increased by a nominal amount for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Other Income/(Expense)

Other income decreased by a nominal amount for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, primarily due to a cessation of sales of branded merchandise.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

Since inception, we have financed our operations primarily from the issuance of equity. Our primary capital needs are for funds to support our scientific research and development activities including staffing, manufacturing, preclinical studies, clinical trials, administrative costs and for working capital.

We have experienced operating losses and cash outflows from operations since inception and will require ongoing financing to continue our research and development activities and we have not earned any revenue or reached successful commercialization of our products. Our future operations are dependent upon our ability to finance our cash requirements which will allow us to continue our research and development activities and the commercialization of our products. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in continuing to finance our operations.

On January 7, 2021, we completed a bought deal financing resulting in the issuance of 1,395,333 units of the Company at a price per unit of CAD$66.00 ($52.05) for gross proceeds of $72.6 million. Each unit comprised one Common Share of the Company and one-half of one Common Share financing warrant (each whole warrant, a “January Warrant”). Each January Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of CAD$86.25 ($67.95) until January 7, 2024. Also, in connection with this transaction, the Company issued 83,720 compensation warrants to its underwriter.

On March 9, 2021, we completed a private placement bought deal financing resulting in the issuance of 400,000 units of the Company at a price per unit of CAD$48.75 ($38.55) for gross proceeds of $15.4 million. Each unit was comprised of one Common Share of the Company and one-half of one Common Share financing warrant (each whole warrant, a “March Warrant”). Each March Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of CAD$66.00 ($52.20) until March 9, 2024. Also, in connection with this transaction, the Company issued 24,000 compensation warrants to its underwriter.

Our cash and cash equivalents and working capital as of September 30, 2022 was $154.5 million and 130.5 million, respectively.

Shelf Registration and At-The-Market Facility

On May 4, 2022, we filed the Registration Statement. Pursuant to the Registration Statement, we may offer and sell securities having an aggregate public offering price of up to $200.0 million. In connection with the filing of the Registration Statement, we also entered into a sales agreement Sales Agents, pursuant to which we may issue and sell Common Shares for an aggregate offering price of up to $100.0 million under the ATM. Pursuant to the ATM, we will pay the Sales Agents a commission rate equal to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of any Common Shares. We are not obligated to make any sales of Common Shares under the ATM. As of September 30, 2022 we sold 1,955,548 Common Shares for net proceeds of $30.2 million under the ATM.

Common Share and Warrant Public Offering

On September 30, 2022, we closed an underwritten public offering of 7,058,823 Common Shares and 2022 USD Financing Warrants to purchase 7,058,823 Common Shares at a combined offering price of $4.25, for gross proceeds of $30.0 million and net proceeds of $27.5 million after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering costs. Each 2022 USD Financing Warrant is immediately exercisable for one Common Share at an initial exercise price of $4.25 per Common Share, subject to certain adjustments and will expire on September 30, 2027.

Future Funding Requirements

To date, we have not generated any revenue. We do not expect to generate any meaningful revenue unless and until we obtain regulatory approval of and commercialize any of our product candidates, and we do not know when, or if at all, that will occur. We will continue to require substantial additional capital to develop our product candidates and fund operations for the foreseeable future. Moreover, we expect our expenses to increase in connection with our ongoing activities, particularly as we continue the development of and seek regulatory approvals for our product candidates. Further, we are subject to all the risks incident in the development of new pharmaceutical products, and we may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other unknown factors that may harm our business. Our expenses will increase if, and as, we:

•

advance our product candidates through preclinical and clinical development;

•

seek regulatory approvals for any product candidates that successfully complete clinical trials;

•

seek to discover and develop additional product candidates;

•

establish a sales, marketing, medical affairs and distribution infrastructure to commercialize any product candidates for which we may obtain marketing approval and intend to commercialize on our own or jointly; and

•

expand our operational, financial and management systems and increase personnel, including personnel to support our development, manufacturing and commercialization efforts and our operations as a public company.

We expect our current cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our current 2022 and 2023 operating plan and will extend our cash runway into first half of 2025. However, our forecast of the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations is a forward-looking statement that involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary materially. In order to complete the development of our product candidates and to build the sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure that we believe will be necessary to commercialize our product candidates, if approved, we will require substantial additional funding. Until we can generate a sufficient amount of revenue from the commercialization of our product candidates, we may seek to raise any necessary additional capital through the sale of equity, debt financings or other capital sources, which could include income from collaborations, strategic partnerships or marketing, distribution or licensing arrangements with third parties or from grants. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our shareholders will be or could be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our shareholders. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, including restricting our operations and limiting our ability to incur liens, issue additional debt, pay dividends, repurchase our Common Shares, make certain investments or engage in merger, consolidation, licensing or asset sale transactions. If we raise funds through collaborations, strategic partnerships and other similar arrangements with third parties, we may be required to grant rights to develop and market product candidates that we would otherwise prefer to develop and market ourselves. We may be unable to raise additional funds or to enter into such agreements or arrangements on favorable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional funds when needed, we may be required to delay, reduce or eliminate our product development or future commercialization efforts. We have based our projections of operating capital requirements on our current operating plan, which is based on several assumptions that may prove to be incorrect and we may use all of our available capital resources sooner than we expect. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with research, development and commercialization of product candidates, we are unable to estimate the exact amount and timing of our working capital requirements. Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including:

•

the scope, progress, results and costs of researching and developing our product candidates, and conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials;

•

the costs, timing and outcome of regulatory review of our product candidates;

•

the costs of future activities, including product sales, medical affairs, marketing, manufacturing and distribution, for any of our product candidates for which we receive marketing approval;

•

the costs of manufacturing commercial-grade products and sufficient inventory to support commercial launch;

•

the revenue, if any, received from commercial sale of our products, should any of our product candidates receive marketing approval;

•

the cost and timing of hiring new employees to support our continued growth;

•

the costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and enforcing our intellectual property rights and defending intellectual property-related claims;

•

the ability to establish and maintain collaborations on favorable terms, if at all;

•

the extent to which we acquire or in-license other product candidates and technologies; and

•

the timing, receipt and amount of sales of, or milestone payments related to or royalties on, our current or future product candidates, if any.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as at September 30, 2022, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP and on a basis consistent with those accounting principles followed by us and disclosed in Note 2 to our most recent annual audited consolidated financial statements. The preparation of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires our management to make judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported revenue generated and expenses incurred during the reporting periods. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Significant estimates and judgments include, but are not limited to, research and development tax credits recoverable, research and development expenses, and share-based compensation. Accordingly, actual results may differ from these judgments and estimates under different assumptions or conditions and any such differences may be material. We believe that the accounting policies discussed below are critical to understanding our historical and future performance, as these policies relate to the more significant areas involving management’s judgments and estimates.

We anticipate that the COVID-19 pandemic will have an impact on the development timelines of our clinical programs. Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty and therefore require the exercise of judgment. As of the date of issuance of these financial statements, we are not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require the update of our estimates, assumptions and judgments. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained and are recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements as soon as they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates and any such differences may be material to our financial statements.

Other than as described under Note 2 of our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, there have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies from those described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” included in our most recent annual consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 to our unaudited financial statements located in “Part I – Financial Information, Item 1. Financial Statements” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a description of recent accounting pronouncements applicable to our financial statements.

Emerging Growth Company Status

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies.

We have elected to use this extended transition period to enable us to comply with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Fully Diluted Share Capital

The number of issued and outstanding Common Shares on a fully converted basis as at September 30, 2022 was as follows:


	Number of Common Share Equivalents
Common Shares		37,541,115
Stock Options		2,364,013
Restricted Share Units		1,082,669
Compensation Warrants		125,890
Financing Warrants		1,286,282
2022 USD Financing Warrants		7,058,823
Total - September 30, 2022		49,458,792

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company’s cash. The carrying amount of these financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. Cash and funds held in trust are on deposit with major Swiss, American and Canadian chartered banks.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company is a development stage company and is reliant on external fundraising to support its operations. Once funds have been raised, the Company manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring actual and projected cash flows. The board of directors reviews and approves the Company’s operating and capital budgets, as well as any material transactions not in the ordinary course of business.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company holds its cash in bank accounts. The Company had no material interest income during the year. Due to the nature of our cash, an immediate 100 basis point change in interest rates would not have a material effect on the fair market value of our cash.

Currency risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk related to the fluctuation of foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of those rates. Currency risk is limited to the portion of the Company’s business transactions and balances denominated in currencies other than the Canadian dollar.

Inflation risk

Inflation has increased during the periods covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and is expected to continue to increase for the near future. We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date. We will continue to monitor the potential impact of inflation in the near future (especially if inflation rates continue to rise) due to consequences associated with COVID-19, the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, employee availability and wage increases.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Vice President, Corporate Controller and Principal Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of September 30, 2022, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Accounting Principal Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2022.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Internal Controls

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control

objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Vice President, Corporate Controller and Principal Accounting Officer, believes that our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and are effective at the reasonable assurance level. However, our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud.

Part Ii

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become involved in litigation or other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently a party to any material litigation or legal proceedings that, in the opinion of our management, are likely to have a material adverse effect on our business. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, negative publicity, reputational harm and other factors.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

We operate in a rapidly changing environment that involves a number of risks which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results, some of which are beyond our control. In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the risks and uncertainties that we believe are most important for you to consider are discussed in Part I-Item 1A under the heading “Risk Factors” in our 2021 Annual Report. The risk factors set forth below are risk factors containing changes, which may be material, from the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A of our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We are a clinical-stage brain health care 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 incurred significant net losses since our inception, have not generated any revenue to date and have financed our operations principally through private placements and offerings of our Common Shares in 2020 and 2021. We incurred net loss of $16.5 million and $17.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $51.9 million and $76.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $189.6 million. Our historical losses resulted principally from costs incurred in connection with research and development activities and general and administrative costs associated with our operations. In the future, we intend to continue to conduct research and development, preclinical testing, clinical trials, regulatory compliance, market access, commercialization and business development activities that, together with anticipated general and administrative expenses, will result in incurring further significant losses for at least the next several years. Our product candidates are in various clinical, preclinical discovery and research stages. As a result, we expect that it will be several years, if ever, before we have a commercialized product and generate revenue from product sales. Even if we succeed in receiving marketing approval for and commercializing one or more of our product candidates, we expect that we will continue to incur substantial research and development and other expenses in order to discover, develop and market additional potential products.

We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future. Our expected losses, among other things, may continue to cause our working capital and shareholders’ equity to decrease. We anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially if and as we, among other things:

•

continue the clinical development of our product candidate(s) and other preclinical programs for the treatment of GAD, including initiating additional and larger clinical trials;

•

continue the training of therapists who are qualified to deliver our investigational therapies in our clinical trials;

•

establish a sales, marketing and distribution infrastructure and scale-up manufacturing capabilities to commercialize any product candidates for which we may obtain regulatory approval, including our product candidates MM-120, MM-110 and MM-402;

•

seek additional indications for our investigational therapies and discover and develop any future product candidates;

•

seek regulatory approvals for any future product candidates that successfully complete clinical trials;

•

experience heightened regulatory scrutiny;

•

pursue necessary scheduling-related decisions to enable us to commercialize any future product candidates containing controlled substances for which we may obtain regulatory approval, including our LSD and MDMA candidates;

•

explore external business development opportunities through acquisitions, partnerships, licensing deals to add future product candidates and technologies to our portfolio;

•

obtain, maintain, expand and protect our intellectual property portfolio, including litigation costs associated with defending against alleged patent or other intellectual property infringement claims;

•

add clinical, scientific, operational, financial and management information systems and personnel, including personnel to support our product development and potential future commercialization efforts;

•

experience any delays or encounter any issues with respect to any of the above, including failed studies, ambiguous trial results, safety issues or other regulatory challenges, including delays and other impacts as a result of the spread of COVID-19, which we refer to as the COVID-19 pandemic;

•

expand our operations in the United States, Switzerland, the European Union and potential other geographies in the future; and

•

incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses associated with operating as a public company listed in the U.S. and Canada.

To become and remain profitable, we will need to continue developing and eventually commercialize therapies that generate significant revenue. This will require us to be successful in a range of challenging activities, including completing clinical trials of our product candidates or any future product candidates, training a sufficient number of qualified therapists to deliver our investigational product candidates, obtaining regulatory approval for any future product candidates that successfully complete clinical trials, and establishing marketing capabilities. Even if any of the future product candidates that we may develop are approved for commercial sale, we anticipate incurring significant costs associated with commercializing any approved future product candidate. We are only in the preliminary stages of most of these activities. We may never succeed in these activities and, even if we do, may never generate revenue that is significant enough to achieve profitability.

Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with product development, we are unable to accurately predict the timing or amount of increased expenses or when, or if, we will be able to achieve profitability. If we are required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA, the European Medicines Agency, or the EMA, the UK’s medicines regulator, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, or the MHRA, or other comparable foreign authorities to perform studies in addition to those we currently anticipate, or if there are any delays in completing our clinical trials or the development of our investigational product candidates or any future candidates, our expenses could increase beyond our current expectations and revenue could be further delayed.

Even if we or any future collaborators do generate sales, we may never achieve, sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. Our failure to sustain profitability would depress the market price of our Common Shares and could impair our ability to raise capital, expand our business, diversify our product offerings or continue our operations. If we continue to suffer losses, investors may not receive any return on their investment and may lose their entire investment.

The net losses we incur may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter such that a period-to-period comparison of our results of operations may not be a good indication of our future performance. The size of our future net losses will depend, in part, on the rate of future growth of our expenses and our ability to generate revenue. Our prior losses and expected future losses have had and will continue to have an adverse effect on our working capital, our ability to fund the development of our product candidates and our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and the performance of our Common Shares.

If we fail to meet all applicable Nasdaq Capital Market requirements and Nasdaq determines to delist our Common Shares, the delisting could adversely affect the market liquidity of our Common Shares and the market price of our Common Shares could decrease.

On May 27, 2022, we received a letter from the staff of Nasdaq, notifying us that, for the previous 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for our Common Shares had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Select Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) we have been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until November 23, 2022, to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s bid price requirement. If, at any time before November 23, 2022, the bid price for our Common Shares closes at $1.00 or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, we will regain compliance with the bid price requirement, unless the Nasdaq staff exercises its discretion to extend this 10-day period pursuant to Nasdaq rules.

Our Board approved a reverse split of our Common Shares on a 15-for-1 basis, which was effected on August 26, 2022 and which brought the bid price of our Common Shares above the minimum bid price requirement under the Nasdaq Listing Rules. On September 13, 2022, following the completion of the August Share Split, the Company received a notice from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Office indicating that we had regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

There can be no assurance that we will maintain compliance with the requirements for listing our Common Shares on Nasdaq.

Delisting could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital through the public or private sale of equity securities, would significantly affect the ability of investors to trade our securities and would negatively affect the value and liquidity of our common stock. Delisting could also have other negative results, including the potential loss of confidence by employees, the loss of institutional investor interest and fewer business development opportunities.

Information that is published by third parties, including blogs, articles, message boards and social and other media, has in the past and may in the future include statements not attributable to us and may not be reliable or accurate.

We have received, and may continue to receive, media coverage that is published or otherwise disseminated by third parties, including blogs, articles, message boards and social and other media. This includes coverage that is not attributable to statements made by our directors, officers or employees. For example, we are aware of disputes amongst individuals and entities formerly involved with our company, including a lawsuit brought against Stephen Hurst, a former executive and director of the Company, and others. Though we are not party to this litigation, there can be no assurance that our business, reputation, share price or operations will not be negatively impacted by such disputes or any negative publicity surrounding such disputes. You should read carefully, evaluate and rely only on the information contained in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus or any applicable free writing prospectus filed with the SEC in determining whether to purchase our securities. Information provided by third parties may not be reliable or accurate and could materially impact the trading price of our Common Shares, which could cause losses to your investments.

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 strategy and impact our share price.

In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been brought against that company. Shareholder activism, which could take many forms or arise in a variety of situations, has been increasing recently. Volatility in the stock price of our common shares or other securities or other reasons may in the future cause us to become the target of securities litigation or shareholder activism. In August 2022 and October 2022, we received letters from a group of shareholders of the Company that suggested certain governance and strategic changes, and have engaged in discussions with these and other shareholders from time to time. Securities litigation and shareholder activism, including potential proxy contests, could result in substantial costs and divert managements and the Board’s attention and resources from our business. Further, a future proxy contest, unsolicited takeover proposal, or other shareholder activism relating to the election of directors or other matters would most likely result in significant legal fees and proxy solicitation expenses and require significant time and attention. Even if not formally launched, the potential of a proxy contest, unsolicited takeover proposal, or other shareholder activism could interfere with our ability to execute on our strategic plan, give rise to perceived uncertainties as to our future direction, result in the loss of potential business opportunities or make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business and operating results. Further, our share price could be subject to significant fluctuation or otherwise be adversely affected by the events, risks and uncertainties of any securities litigation and shareholder activism.

New Executive Employment Agreements

On November [9], 2022, Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries entered into executive employment agreements (each an “Employment Agreement” and together the “Employment Agreements”) for the following executive officers: (i) Robert Barrow, Chief Executive Officer, (ii) Schond Greenway, Chief Financial Officer, (iii) Dr. Daniel Karlin, Chief Medical Officer, and (iv) Dr. Miri Halperin Wernli, Executive President. Each of Mr. Barrow, Mr. Greenway, Dr. Karlin and

Dr. Halperin Wernli also entered into a standard proprietary information and invention assignment agreement with the Company. The following paragraphs provide a summary of the Employment Agreements.

Employment Agreement with Robert Barrow

Under the terms of Mr. Barrow’s Employment Agreement (the “CEO Employment Agreement”), his annual base salary is $565,000 and Mr. Barrow is eligible for a discretionary annual cash bonus with a target of fifty percent (50%) (the “Annual Bonus”) of Mr. Barrow’s then-current base salary (the “CEO Target Amount”). Under the CEO Employment Agreement, Mr. Barrow’s eligibility for the Annual Bonus will be based upon the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) assessment of the attainment of individual and corporate performance goals as determined by the Board in its sole discretion.

Pursuant to the terms of the CEO Employment Agreement, Mr. Barrow’s employment is at will and may be terminated at any time by the Company. If Mr. Barrow’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined in the CEO Employment Agreement) or by Mr. Barrow for Good Reason (as defined in the CEO Employment Agreement) in either case not in connection with a Change in Control ((as defined in the Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc. Stock Option Plan ), then Mr. Barrow would be eligible to receive the following severance benefits, less applicable tax withholding (the “Non-CIC Severance Benefits”):

•

payment of his then-current base salary in accordance with normal payroll procedures for 12 months;

•

payment or reimbursement of continued health coverage for Mr. Barrow and his dependents under COBRA for up to 12 months; and

•

if the termination or resignation occurs after the completion of the Company’s fiscal year, but before any bonuses are paid for such fiscal year, Mr. Barrow will be eligible for a bonus for the completed fiscal year, dependent upon the actual achievement of the applicable individual and corporate performance goals, as determined by the Board in its reasonable discretion.

Under the CEO Employment Agreement, if Mr. Barrow’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or if Mr. Barrow resigns for Good Reason, in either case within 12 months following the effective date of a Change in Control, then Mr. Barrow would be entitled to the following severance benefits, less applicable tax withholding (the “CIC Severance Benefits,” together with the Non-CIC Severance Benefits, the “Severance Benefits”):

•

payment of his then-current base salary in accordance with normal payroll procedures for 24 months;

•

payment or reimbursement of continued health coverage for Mr. Barrow and his dependents under COBRA for up to 24 months;

•

if the termination or resignation occurs after the completion of the Company’s fiscal year, but before any bonuses are paid, a lump sum cash payment of 100% of the CEO Target Amount for the year in which the termination occurs; and

•

the vesting and exercisability of all outstanding equity awards held by Mr. Barrow immediately prior to the termination date that are subject to time-based vesting requirements (if any) will be accelerated in full.

Payment of the Severance Benefits is subject to Mr. Barrow signing and delivering to the Company a separation agreement containing a general release of claims in favor of the Company. Under the CEO Employment Agreement, if Mr. Barrow’s employment is terminated for Cause or Mr. Barrow resigns without Good Reason, Mr. Barrow will not receive any Severance Benefits.

Employment Agreement with Daniel Karlin

Dr. Karlin’s Employment Agreement (the “CMO Employment Agreement”) is substantially similar to the CEO Employment Agreement, except that:

•

Dr. Karlin’s base salary is $425,000;

•

Dr. Karlin’s annual target for his Annual Bonus is 40% of his then-current base salary (the “CMO Target Amount”);

•

if Dr. Karlin’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or Dr. Karlin resigns for Good Reason, in either case not in connection with a Change in Control, then Dr. Karlin is entitled to receive the same Non-CIC Severance Benefits as Mr. Barrow, but Dr. Karlin will receive payment of his then-current base salary for nine months and payment or reimbursement of continued health coverage for Dr. Karlin and his dependents under COBRA for up to nine months; and

•

if Dr. Karlin’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or if Dr. Karlin resigns for Good Reason, in either case within 12 months following the effective date of a Change in Control, Dr. Karlin is entitled to receive the same CIC Severance Benefits as Mr. Barrow, but Dr. Karlin will receive payment of his then-current base salary for 12 months; payment or reimbursement of continued health coverage for Dr. Karlin and his dependents under COBRA for up to 12 months; and, if the termination or resignation occurs after the completion of the Company’s fiscal year, but before any bonuses are paid, Dr. Karlin will receive a lump sum cash payment of 50% of the CMO Target Amount for the year in which the termination occurs.

Employment Agreement with Schond Greenway

Mr. Greenway’s Employment Agreement is substantially similar to the CMO Employment Agreement, except that Mr. Greenway’s base salary is $400,000.

Amended & Restated Employment Agreement with Dr. Miri Halperin Wernli

Dr. Halperin Wernli’s Amended & Restated Employment Agreement (the “EP Employment Agreement’) is substantially similar to the CMO Employment Agreement, except that (i) Dr. Halperin Wernli’s then-current base salary under her Severance Benefits will be paid as a lump sum and as Dr. Halperin Wernli’s agreement is governed by the laws of Switzerland, Dr. Halperin Wernli’s agreement is between herself and MindMed Discover, LLC, a Swiss subsidiary of the Company (the “Swiss Subsidiary”), and (i) Dr. Halperin Wernli’s employment is not at-will; however, either Dr. Halperin Wernli or the Swiss Subsidiary may terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without Cause, subject to the severance protections included therein; (ii) Dr. Halperin Wernli is entitled to continue to participate in the Swiss Subsidiary’s Benefit Plans (as defined in the EP Employment Agreement) for a period of nine monthsas a Non-CIC Severance Benefit or twelve months as a CIC Severance Benefit;(iii) Dr. Halperin-Wernli is entitled to four (4) weeks’ paid vacation per year, and any accrued but unused vacation will be paid out at separation of employment; and (iv) the Swiss Subsidiary covers the costs of the Swiss health insurance of Dr. Halperin Wernli.
