Risks and Offsets

The company reports that its cash position at the end of Q3, 2022, of US$154.5M is sufficient to fund current operating plans into first half of 2025. That being said, however,

• were MindMed to experience further setbacks in its various research studies,
  • that might cause investors to lose confidence in the eventual success of the company and such negative sentiment could negatively impact its stock price;
• were another company to develop a treatment for one of the 5 disorders before MindMed,
  • that would most likely negatively impact the stock price, as well and, even more so, if such a competitor were to take the treatment for one of those diseases to market; and
• were one or more of senior management to depart,
  • that might cause the company to lose focus which would slow down the progress of its research and development.
