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, MM-110 and MM-402 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 product candidate MM-120;
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 MM-120, MM-110 and MM-402, if approved for commercial use;
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 business and our investigational product candidate MM-120;
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 lead 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 operate our business without infringing, misappropriating, or otherwise violating the intellectual property rights and proprietary technology of third parties;
regulatory developments in the United States, under the laws and regulations of England and Wales, and other jurisdictions;
the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting;
the effect of the ongoing and evolving COVID-19 pandemic, including mitigation efforts and economic effects, on any of the foregoing or other aspects of our business or operations;
our expectations regarding our revenue, expenses and other operating results;

 

115405326v4


 

the costs and success of our marketing efforts, and our ability to promote our brand;
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 Part II, Item 1A. in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as filed with the SEC on May 16, 2022 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.

Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)

1.
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, with a particular focus on psychiatry, addiction, pain and neurology. 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 June 30, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $173.1 million. Through June 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.

2.
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 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K. 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.

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 no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2022.



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.

10


 

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.

3.
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, 81,497 Multiple Voting Shares (equivalent to 8,149,700 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 (33,619 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 six months ended June 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 has made no 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.

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares, which have no par value. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had issued and outstanding 426,689,225 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.

12


 

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 June 30, 2022.

During the first quarter of 2022, holders of 4,521 Multiple Voting Shares exchanged their shares for 452,060 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.

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. The Company has not sold any of its Common Shares under the ATM as of June 30, 2022.

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.

10.
INCOME TAXES

The Company’s effective tax rate was 0% for the three and six months ended June 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 June 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 $33.7 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.

15


 

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 six months ended June 30, 2022. The Company incurred nominal legal fees and $0.4 million to companies controlled by a former director of the Company during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had a nominal amount of accounts payable and accrued liabilities outstanding due to a company controlled by a former director.

Overview

We are a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel products to treat brain health disorders, with a particular focus on psychiatry, addiction, pain and neurology. 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.

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.

Since inception, we have incurred losses while advancing the research and development of our products and processes. Our net losses were $17.0 million and $45.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $35.4 million and $59.0 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of June 30, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $173.1 million and cash and cash equivalents of $105.7 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we continued to enhance the resources it requires 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 anticipate starting 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 and we will continue further clinical development of our MM-110 program 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.

17


 

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.

 

Nasdaq Delisting Notice

 

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 have a period of 180 calendar days, or until November 23, 2022, to regain compliance with the rule referred to in this paragraph.

 

On August 4, 2022, in part to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, we announced our Board of Directors had approved a ratio of 1-for-15 reverse share split of our common shares. Subject to completion of all required regulatory reviews and approvals, the reverse share split is expected to take effect after the close of business on August 26, 2022, with trading expected to begin on a split-adjusted basis on the Nasdaq and the Neo Exchange Inc. at market open on August 29, 2022.

Components of Operating Results

Operating Expenses

Research and Development

To date, our resources have focused primarily on the development of our MM-120 and MM-110 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.

* Represents a change greater than 300%

Research and development expenses were $9.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $8.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $1.2 million. The increase was primarily due to $2.8 million of external costs related to the LSD research program and the commencement of our R(-)-MDMA study . This increase was primarily offset by a decrease in external costs of $1.0 million related to the completion of our 18-MC study in 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, research and development expenses were $19.6 million, compared to $14.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $4.7 million. The increase was primarily due to $2.9 million of internal costs related to compensation costs for additional headcount and an increase of $1.0 million of non-cash stock-based compensation expense.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses were $7.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $37.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, a decrease of $29.5 million. The decrease was primarily due to $24.4 million in additional non-cash stock-based compensation expenses relating to the modification of stock option awards and RSUs recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, general and administrative expenses were $15.9 million, compared to $44.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $24.4 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expenses relating to the modification of stock option awards and RSUs recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Other Income (Expense)

Interest Income/(Expense), Net

Interest expense, net decreased by a nominal amount for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. This was primarily due to the Company investing in cash equivalents during 2022.

Foreign Exchange Gain/(Loss), Net

Foreign exchange decreased by a nominal amount for the three months ended and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

Other Income/(Expense)

Other income was decreased by a nominal amount for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, primarily due to a decrease in branded merchandise sales.

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.

20


 

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 20,930,000 units of the Company at a price per unit of CAD$4.40 ($3.47) 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$5.75 ($4.53) until January 7, 2024. Also, in connection with this transaction, the Company issued 1,255,800 compensation warrants to its underwriter.

On March 9, 2021, we completed a private placement bought deal financing resulting in the issuance of 6,000,000 units of the Company at a price per unit of CAD$3.25 ($2.57) 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$4.40 ($3.48) until March 9, 2024. Also, in connection with this transaction, the Company issued 360,000 compensation warrants to its underwriter.

Our cash and cash equivalents and working capital as of June 30, 2022 were $105.7 million and $101.2 million, respectively.

 

Shelf Registration and At-The-Market Facility

 

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 with the Sales Agents, pursuant to which we may issue and sell our Common Shares for an aggregate offering price of up to $100.0 million under the ATM. Pursuant to the ATM, we have agreed to 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. We have not yet sold any of our Common Shares under the ATM.

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;
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 2024. 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

21


 

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 June 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.

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.

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 June 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 June 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 June 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 Financing 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.

25


 

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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC on March 28, 2022. 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC.

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 of our Multiple Voting Shares and through offerings of our Common Shares in 2020 and 2021. We incurred net loss of $17.0 million and $45.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $35.4 million and $59.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of June 30, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $173.1 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;

26


 

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.

Our share price does not meet the minimum bid price for continued listing on Nasdaq. Our ability to continue operations or to publicly or privately sell equity securities and the liquidity of our Common Shares could be adversely affected if do not regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement and we are delisted from Nasdaq.

On May 27, 2022, we received a letter from the staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, or 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. We have not regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules as of the filing date of this Quarterly Report.

 

On August 4, 2022, in part to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, we announced our Board of Directors had approved a ratio of 1-for-15 reverse share split of our common shares. Subject to completion of all required regulatory reviews and approvals, the reverse share split is expected to take effect after the close of business on August 26, 2022, with trading expected to begin on a split-adjusted basis on the Nasdaq and the Neo Exchange Inc. at market open on August 29, 2022. However, the reverse share split has not yet been effected and we have not regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules as of the filing date of this Quarterly Report.

If we do not regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) by November 23, 2022, we may be eligible for additional time to comply. To qualify, we will be required to meet certain continued listing requirements for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for Nasdaq. If we meet these requirements, Nasdaq may grant us an additional 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the bid price requirement.

27


 

If we do not regain compliance with the bid price requirement and are not eligible for an additional compliance period, our Common Shares may be delisted. There can be no assurance that, if we receive a delisting notice and appeal the delisting determination by the staff, such appeal would be successful. 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.

Exhibit 10.2

Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc.

Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy

Effective as of June 1, 2022
Amended August 11, 2022

Each member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) who is not also serving as an employee of or consultant to Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc. (the “Company”) or any of its subsidiaries (each such member, an “Eligible Director”) will receive the compensation described in this Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy for his or her Board service upon and following the date first set forth above (the “Effective Date”). An Eligible Director may decline all or any portion of his or her compensation by giving notice to the Company prior to the date cash may be paid or equity awards are to be granted, as the case may be. This policy is effective as of the Effective Date and may be amended at any time in the sole discretion of the Board. Except as otherwise explicitly stated herein, all references in this Policy to currency refer to U.S. dollars.

I. Annual Cash Compensation

The annual cash compensation amount set forth below will be payable to Eligible Directors in equal quarterly installments, payable in arrears on or promptly following the last day of each fiscal quarter in which the service occurred, commencing with respect to services provided on and after the Effective Date. If an Eligible Director joins the Board or a committee of the Board at a time other than effective as of the first day of a fiscal quarter, each annual retainer set forth below will be pro-rated based on days served in the applicable fiscal quarter, with the pro-rated amount paid on or promptly following the last day of the first fiscal quarter in which the Eligible Director provides the service and regular full quarterly payments thereafter. All annual cash fees are vested upon payment.

1. Annual Board Service Retainer:

a. All Eligible Directors: $40,000

b. Additional Retainer for Board Chair: $40,000

c. Additional Retainer for Board Vice Chair: $30,000

2. Annual Committee Chair Service Retainer:

a. Chair of the Audit Committee: $15,000

b. Chair of the Compensation Committee: $10,000

c. Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee: $10,000

 

269063910 v13

 


 

3. Annual Committee Member Service Retainer (not applicable to Committee Chairs):

a. Member of the Audit Committee: $7,500

b. Member of the Compensation Committee: $5,000

c. Member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee: $5,000

II. Expenses

The Company will reimburse Eligible Directors for ordinary, necessary and reasonable out-of-pocket travel expenses to cover in-person attendance at and participation in Board and committee meetings; provided, that the Eligible Director timely submits to the Company appropriate documentation substantiating such expenses in accordance with the Company’s travel and expense processes.

III. Equity and Equity-Based Compensation

1. Structure and Form of Grants. Each Eligible Director will be granted an Initial Grant and Annual Grant (as defined below). The Initial Grant and the Annual Grant will be in the form of any of the following or a combination thereof, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion on or before the applicable grant date: (i) restricted share units with respect to common shares of the Company (“Common Shares” and such units, “RSUs”), (ii) stock options to purchase Common Shares (“Options”), and/or (iii) a right to receive a cash amount that is calculated based on the value of Common Shares in the form of deferred share units (“DDSUs”).

The equity and equity-based compensation set forth in this Section III will be granted under and subject to the terms of the Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc. Performance and Restricted Share Unit Plan or successor plan thereto (the “RSU Plan”), the Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc. Stock Option Plan or successor plan thereto (the “Option Plan,” and collectively with the RSU Plan, the “Equity Plans”), and/or the Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc. Directors’ Deferred Share Unit Plan or successor plan thereto (the “DDSU Plan”), in each case, to the extent applicable and subject to the applicable award agreements thereunder. All Options granted under this policy will be nonstatutory stock options, with an exercise price per share equal to 100% of the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Option Plan) of the underlying Common Shares on the prior trading day before the grant date, and a term of ten years from the grant date (subject to earlier termination in connection with a termination of service, as provided in the Option Plan and applicable stock option grant notice and award agreement).

2. Initial Grants. For each Eligible Director who is first elected or appointed to the Board following the Effective Date, on the date of such Eligible Director’s initial election or appointment to the Board (or, if such date is not a market trading day, the first market trading day thereafter), the Eligible Director will be granted an initial award, in such form(s) as determined by the Board as described in Section III.1. above, having an aggregate target grant value of $450,000 (the “Initial Grant”). Each Initial Grant shall vest over a three-year period, subject to the Eligible Director’s continuous service as a member of the Board through each such vesting date. Initial Grants in the form of RSUs will vest in three equal annual installments over such three-year period; provided, that in the event that an Eligible Director’s continuous service as a member of the Board terminates for any reason other than for cause after the first anniversary of the grant date, a portion of the Initial Grant RSUs that would have vested on the next annual vesting date following the date of departure will immediately vest in full as of the date of termination of service, prorated based on a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed from the prior vesting date through the date of termination of service, and the denominator of which is 365 (or 366, as applicable). Initial Grants in the form of Options or DDSUs will vest with respect to one-third (1/3) of the Initial Grant on the

 

269063910 v13

 


 

one-year anniversary of the grant date, with the remaining portion of the Initial Grant vesting in equal monthly installments thereafter.

The number of RSUs, Common Shares and DDSUs underlying Initial Grants and Annual Grants (as defined in Section 3), as applicable, will be determined as set forth in this paragraph, with currency conversion as necessary, unless otherwise determined by the Board. To the extent an Initial Grant is provided in the form of RSUs, the number of RSUs shall be determined by dividing the target grant value by the closing price of a Common Share on the NEO Exchange Inc. on the prior trading day before the grant date. To the extent an Initial Grant is provided in the form of Options, the number of Common Shares underlying such Option shall be determined based on the applicable Black-Scholes value as of the grant date. To the extent an Initial Grant is provided in the form of DDSUs, the number of DDSUs will be determined by dividing the target grant value by the closing price of a Common Share on the NEO Exchange Inc. on the prior trading day before the grant date.

3. Annual Grants. On the date of each annual stockholder meeting of the Company (each, an “Annual Meeting”) held after the Annual Meeting held in 2022, each Eligible Director who (a) has served as a director of the Company for at least six (6) months as of the date of the Annual Meeting, and (b) continues to serve as a non-employee member of the Board following such Annual Meeting (excluding any Eligible Director who is first appointed or elected by the Board at Annual Meeting) will be granted an annual award, in such form(s) as determined by the Board as described in Section III.1. above, having an aggregate target grant value of $180,000 (the “Annual Grant”).

The Annual Grant will vest over a one-year period measured from the grant date, or in any event no later than the date immediately prior to the next Annual Meeting, subject in any case to the Eligible Director’s continuous service as a member of the Board through such vesting date. Annual Grants in the form of RSUs will vest in four equal quarterly installments measured from the grant date; Annual Grants in the form of Options or DDSUs will vest in twelve equal monthly installments measured from the grant date.

The number of RSUs, Common Shares or DDSUs, as applicable, subject to each Annual Grant shall be determined in the same manner as for Initial Grants, as described in the last paragraph of Section III.2. above.

4. CIC Accelerated Vesting. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Initial Grant and Annual Grant will vest as follows upon a Change in Control or Change of Control (as defined in each Equity Plan or the DDSU Plan, as applicable), subject, in each case, to the Eligible Director’s continuous service as a member of the Board through the date of such Change in Control or Change of Control (as applicable): (a) with respect to any Eligible Director who has less than one (1) year of continuous service as a member of the Board on the date of such Change in Control or Change of Control, the portion of each Initial Grant and/or Annual Grant held by such Eligible Director will vest as would have vested through the one (1) year anniversary of the applicable grant date, had the Eligible Director provided continuous service as a member of the Board through such date; and (b) with respect to any Eligible Director who has one (1) or more years of continuous service as a member of the Board on the date of such Change in Control or Change of Control, each Initial Grant and/or Annual Grant held by such Eligible Director will vest in full.

(d)
Upon any payout of the value of any DDSUs pursuant to the terms of the Plan, in particular pursuant to Article V hereof, such DDSUs shall be cancelled without further compensation or payment in any manner whatsoever and upon such cancellation shall be null, void and of no further force or effect.

 

2.4

115405326v4


At such times as the Administrator(s) shall determine, but not less than once annually, the Company shall furnish each Participant with a statement setting forth the details of the DDSUs credited to each Participant in his or her DDSU Account.

 

ARTICLE III ELIGIBILITY

 

3.1
Participants

 

(a)
Every person who is a Non-Executive Director as of the Effective Date shall become a Participant as of that date.

 

(b)
Subject to Subsection 3.1(c) below, every person who becomes a Director after the Effective Date through election at an Annual Meeting, or who is appointed or elected as a Director other than at an Annual Meeting, shall become a Participant as of the date of election or appointment, as the case may be, provided they are a Non-Executive Director of the Company.

 

(c)
Every person who is re-elected as a Director at an Annual Meeting and who immediately prior to such re-election was a Participant shall continue to be a Participant.

 

3.2
Cessation of Participation

 

A person ceases to be a Participant at such time as such person ceases to be a Director for any reason.

 

ARTICLE IV

GRANTS OF DDSUs AND DDSU ACCOUNTS

 

4.1
Grant of DDSUs

 

(a)
DDSUs form an important component of the annual Board Compensation for eligible Participants.

 

(b)
The Administrator(s) shall have the right to grant, in its sole and absolute discretion, DDSUs to any Participants, subject to the terms of this Plan and with such provisions and restrictions as the Administrator(s) may determine, including, but not limited to, provisions and restrictions regarding the number of DDSUs awarded, the vesting conditions of such DDSUs, the conditions, if any, upon which vesting of any DDSUs will be waived or accelerated without further action by the Administrator(s), and the circumstances in which a DDSU will be forfeited, cancelled or expire. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in accordance with Section 5.1, the redemption of DDSUs shall be payable in cash.

 

4.2
Grant Confirmation

 

Each grant of a DDSU shall be confirmed in writing in the form set out on Schedule A or such other form as the Administrator(s) may determine from time to time. Failure to provide a

 

115405326v4


confirmation shall not invalidate the grant of any DDSUs which are reflected in a Participant’s DDSU Account.

 

4.3
DDSU Accounts

 

The Company shall establish and maintain a DDSU Account for each Participant. The number of DDSUs held by a Participant at any particular time shall be adjusted from time to time in accordance with Article VI of this Plan or as otherwise provided herein.

 

ARTICLE V REDEMPTION OF DDSUs

 

5.1
Ceasing to be a Director

 

When a Participant ceases to be a Director for any reason other than death, each DDSU held by the Participant that has vested in accordance with the terms of such DDSUs will be eligible for redemption for (i) a period of up to 90 days after the date such Participant ceases to be a Director or (ii) such other “reasonable” period as may be determined by the Administrator(s) at the time such DDSUs are granted, which reasonable period cannot be less than 90 days without the agreement of the Participant and cannot be later than December 1st of the calendar year following the year in which the Participant ceased to be a Director (the “Redemption Period”). During the Redemption Period, the Participant may redeem all or any part of his or her vested DDSUs on one or more occasions by providing notice in writing to the Company, which notice shall state the Redemption Date and the number of DDSUs to be redeemed. Except as provided in Section 5.2, the value of the vested DDSUs credited to a Participant’s DDSU Account shall be determined in accordance with Section 5.4 as of the Redemption Date and shall be payable, net of any applicable withholdings, in cash to the Participant as soon as practicable after the Redemption Date.

 

Notwithstanding the above, for U.S. Participants, the redemption notice described above will not be available, and the U.S. Participant’s vested DDSUs will be automatically redeemed, without the need for action by the U.S. Participant, and paid, net of applicable withholdings, in cash to the

U.S. Participant on the Redemption Date.

 

5.2
Death

 

When a Participant ceases to be a Director due to his or her death, the notice contemplated by Section 5.1 of this Plan may be delivered by the Beneficiary. The value of the Participant’s vested DDSUs shall be determined in accordance with Section 5.4 as of the Redemption Date and shall be payable to the Beneficiary, net of any applicable withholdings, as soon as practicable after the Redemption Date.

 

Notwithstanding the above, for Beneficiaries of U.S. Participants, the redemption notice described above will not be available, and the Beneficiary’s vested DDSUs will be automatically redeemed, and shall be payable, net of applicable withholdings, in cash to the Beneficiary on the Redemption Date.

 

5.3
Effect of Change of Control

 

115405326v4


 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, in the event of a Change of Control of the Company, for the purposes of Section 5.1, all DDSUs that have been granted shall be deemed to be vested as of the date of the Change of Control.

 

5.4
Valuation

 

For purposes of determining the value of DDSUs for payment, under Sections 5.1 and 5.2, to a Participant or where the Participant has died, his or her Beneficiary, in each case, the Participant or Beneficiary shall receive a payment in cash, net of any applicable withholdings, equal to the Fair Market Value of a Subordinate Voting Share multiplied by the number of vested DDSUs (including the value of any fractional DDSUs) credited to a Participant’s DDSU Account. The Fair Market Value of a Subordinate Voting Share for such calculation will be determined for purposes of Sections 5.1 and 5.2 as of the Redemption Date.

 

 

ARTICLE VI ADJUSTMENTS

 

6.1
General

 

The existence of any DDSUs shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its shareholders:

 

(i)
to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or any other change in the Company’s capital structure or its business, or any amalgamation, combination, merger or consolidation involving the Company;

 

(ii)
to create or issue any bonds, debentures, shares or other securities of the Company or the rights and conditions attaching thereto;

 

(iii)
to effect the dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business; or

 

(iv)
to undertake any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of similar character or otherwise.

 

6.2
Reorganization

 

Should the Company effect a subdivision or consolidation of Subordinate Voting Shares, the number of DDSUs held by a Participant shall be automatically adjusted, as of the record date for such subdivision or consolidation, in the same proportions as the number of Subordinate Voting Shares is adjusted pursuant to such subdivision or consolidation. Should any other change be made to the Subordinate Voting Shares of the Company which, in the opinion of the Administrator(s), would warrant the replacement of or an adjustment to any existing DDSUs in order to preserve proportionately the rights and obligations of Participants, the Company shall authorize such steps to be taken as may be equitable and appropriate to that end, and upon the Company notifying a

 

115405326v4


Participant of any such action by the Company, the Participant’s DDSUs shall be deemed to be adjusted accordingly.

 

6.3
Distributions

 

Should the Company fix a record date for a Distribution to holders of Subordinate Voting Shares, the number of DDSUs held by a Participant holding such DDSUs as of such record date shall be automatically adjusted on the applicable payment or distribution date, as if each DDSU held by the Participant immediately prior to the record date was a Subordinate Voting Share, and as if on the payment or distribution date, the additional Subordinate Voting Shares that would have been received in the Distribution (assuming notional Dividend Reinvestment) were converted back into DDSUs, on a one for one basis.

 

6.4
Other Events Affecting the Company

 

In the event of an amalgamation, combination, merger, Change of Control (actual or, in the opinion of the Administrator(s), pending) or other reorganization involving the Company, by take-over bid, plan of arrangement, exchange of shares, sale or lease of assets, or otherwise, which in the opinion of the Administrator(s) warrants the replacement or modification of any existing DDSUs in order to adjust:

 

(i)
the number thereof;

 

(ii)
the manner in which the value of DDSUs shall be calculated; or

 

(iii)
any other attribute of a DDSU,

 

in order to preserve the rights and obligations of Participants, the Administrator(s) shall authorize such steps to be taken as may be equitable and appropriate to that end, provided that no alteration pursuant to this paragraph shall be made to the terms of the DDSUs which, in the opinion of the

 

Company’s professional advisors, would disqualify this Plan or an entitlement hereunder from being a prescribed plan for the purposes of the definition of “salary deferral arrangement” pursuant to the Tax Act and regulations thereunder, and provided further that no such modification affecting a Participant shall be made after a Change of Control without the written consent of the affected Participant.

 

6.5
Issue by Company of Additional Shares

 

Except as expressly provided in this Plan, the issue by the Company of shares of any class, or securities convertible into shares of any class, for money, services or property either upon direct sale or upon the exercise of rights or warrants to subscribe therefore, or upon conversion of obligations of the Company convertible into such shares or securities, shall not affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to:

 

(i)
the number of DDSUs outstanding at any time;

 

(ii)
the manner in which the value of DDSUs shall be calculated; or

 

115405326v4


 

(iii)
any other attribute of a DDSU.

 

6.6
Limitation

 

Notwithstanding anything herein, a decision of the Administrator(s) in respect of any and all matters falling within the scope of this Article VI shall be final, binding and conclusive and without recourse on the part of any Participant and his or her heirs, legal representatives or Beneficiaries.

 

ARTICLE VII MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

 

7.1
Legal Requirements

 

The Company shall not be obligated to make any payments or take any other action under the Plan if, in the opinion of the Administrator(s) exercising its discretion, such action would constitute a violation by a Participant or the Company of any provision of any applicable statutory, regulatory or policy enactment of any government or government agency, stock exchange or other regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Company or a Participant. Each Participant agrees, as a condition to receiving DDSUs under the Plan, to comply with all such statutory and regulatory requirements and to furnish the Company with all information and undertakings as may be required to permit such compliance.

 

7.2
Employment or Other Relationship.

 

The granting of DDSUs to a Participant shall not impose upon the Company any obligation to retain the Participant in its employ in any capacity or otherwise commence, extend, continue or modify any engagement between the Company and the Participant. For greater certainty, the

 

granting of DDSUs to a Participant shall not impose any obligation on the Company to grant any DDSUs in the future nor shall it entitle the Participant to receive future grants.

 

7.3
Withholding Taxes

 

Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, the Company shall be entitled to withhold from any amount payable to a Participant, either under this Plan or otherwise, such amounts as may be necessary so as to ensure that the Company is in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada) or any other federal, provincial or local law relating to the withholding of tax or other required deductions relating to the settlement of such DDSU. It is the responsibility of the Participant to complete and file any tax returns which may be required within the periods specified in applicable laws as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan. The Company shall not be held responsible for any tax consequences to a Participant as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan and the Participant shall indemnify and save harmless the Company from and against any and all loss, liability, damage, penalty or expense (including legal expense), which may be asserted against the Company or which the Company may suffer or incur arising out of, resulting from, or relating in any manner whatsoever to any tax liability in connection therewith.

 

 

115405326v4


7.4
Rights of Participants

 

No Participant or Director shall have any claim or right to be granted DDSUs except in accordance with this Plan, and the granting of same shall not be construed as giving any person a right to be retained as a Director. No Participant shall have any rights as a shareholder of the Company in respect of DDSUs. Subject only to Section 6.3, under no circumstances shall DDSUs be considered Subordinate Voting Shares, nor shall DDSUs entitle any Participant to the exercise of voting rights, the receipt of dividends or the exercise of any other rights attaching to the ownership of Subordinate Voting Shares.

 

7.5
Non-Transferability

 

DDSUs granted under this Plan are non-transferable and no assignment, encumbrance or transfer thereof, whether voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, shall vest any interest or right in such DDSUs whatsoever in any assignee or transferee, but immediately upon any purported assignment or transfer, such DDSUs shall terminate and be of no further effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, DDSUs may pass to a Beneficiary on death as provided for in Article 5.

 

7.6
Amendment or Discontinuance

 

Subject to receipt of any necessary regulatory or other approval, the Administrator(s) may, at any time or from time to time, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan or any provisions thereof in such respects as it, in its sole discretion, may determine appropriate; provided, however, that no amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan shall, without the written consent of any Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary, as applicable, alter or impair any rights or obligations arising from any DDSUs held by a Participant under the Plan; and provided further that no

 

alteration pursuant to this Section 7.6 shall be made to the terms of the DDSUs or this Plan which, in the opinion of the Company’s professional advisors, would disqualify the Plan and an entitlement to DDSUs hereunder from being a prescribed plan for the purposes of the definition of “salary deferral arrangement” pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada) and the regulations thereunder.

 

7.7
Indemnification

 

Every Administrator (herein, an “Indemnified Person”) shall at all times be indemnified and saved harmless by the Company from and against all costs, charges and expenses whatsoever including any income tax liability arising from any such indemnification, which such Indemnified Person may sustain or incur by reason of any action, suit or proceeding, proceeded or threatened against the Indemnified Person, otherwise than by the Company, for or in respect of any act done or omitted by the Indemnified Person in good faith in respect of the Plan, such costs, charges and expenses to include any amount paid to settle such action, suit or proceeding or in satisfaction of any judgment rendered therein.

 

7.8
Miscellaneous

 

The Administrator(s) may adopt and apply rules that, in its opinion, will ensure that the Company

 

115405326v4


will be able to comply with the applicable provisions of any federal, provincial or local law relating to taxes.

 

7.9
Code Section 409A for U.S. Participants

 

It is intended that DDSUs granted under the Plan to U.S. Participants shall comply with Code section 409A, and all provisions of this Plan shall be construed and interpreted in a manner consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes, penalties or interest under Code section 409A. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, the following will apply with respect to the rights and benefits of U.S. Participants under the Plan:

 

(i)
Except as permitted under Code section 409A, any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Code section 409A) payable to or for the benefit of a U.S. Participant under the Plan may not be reduced by, or offset against, any amount owing by the U.S. Participant to the Company or any Associated Company.

 

(ii)
Each U.S. Participant, any Beneficiary of a U.S. Participant or the U.S. Participant’s estate, as the case may be, is solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes, penalties and interest that may be imposed on or for the account of such U.S. Participant in connection with this Plan (including any taxes, penalties and interest under Code section 409A), and neither the Company nor any Associated Company shall have any obligation to indemnify such U.S. Participant or Beneficiary or the

U.S. Participant’s estate for any or all of such taxes, penalties or interest.

 

(iii)
In the event that the Administrator(s) determines that any amounts payable hereunder will be taxable to a Participant under Code section 409A prior to payment

 

to such Participant of such amount, the Administrator(s) may (a) adopt such amendments to the Plan and DDSUs and appropriate policies and procedures, including amendments and policies with retroactive effect, that the Administrator(s) determines necessary or appropriate to preserve the intended tax treatment of the benefits provided by the Plan and DDSUs hereunder and/or (b) take such other actions as the Administrator(s) determines necessary or appropriate to avoid or limit the imposition of any additional tax, penalty or interest under Code section 409A.

 

(iv)
In the event the Administrator(s) terminates the Plan in accordance with Section 6, the time and manner of payment of amounts that are subject to Code section 409A will be made in accordance with the rules under Code section 409A.

 

7.10
Effective Date

 

This Plan shall become effective on April 16, 2021.

 

7.11
Governing Law

Re: Offer of Employment – Chief Financial Officer

 

Dear Schond,

 

Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc. (the “Company”) is pleased to offer you employment with the Company. This offer is made on the following terms and the Company may change your position, duties, and work location from time-to-time as it deems necessary. By signing this letter, you confirm with the Company that you are under no contractual or other legal obligations that would prohibit you from performing your duties with the Company.

 

1. Position & Duties. This is a full-time, employment position as Chief Financial Officer which reports directly to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

 

As CFO, you are principally responsible for fundraising and investor relations, and the development and execution of the Company’s capital raising, financial and operational strategies. You are also principally responsible to oversee the financial and risk management operations of the Company (including its subsidiaries) managed by the Company’s VP, Global Controller & Principal Accounting Officer. Your duties include the oversight, development and execution of the Company’s financial and operational strategy, metrics tied to that strategy, and the ongoing development and monitoring of control systems designed to preserve company assets and report accurate financial results. You, along with our VP, Global Controller & Principal Accounting Officer, will oversee financial operations, audit matters and coordination with the Audit Committee.

 

You will be designated the Company’s SEC’s Principal Financial Officer for certifying and for the overall purposes of the Company’s financial reports and financial filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. You will be a Section 16 reporting officer. As a member of the executive management team, you will also have other duties and tasks customarily associated with being a Chief Financial Officer.

 

 


 

[*****]

2. Compensation. Your full-time base cash salary will be at the rate of $400,000 per year, payable on the Company’s regular payroll dates, subject to tax and other withholdings as required by law. You will also be eligible for an annual target bonus of 40% of your base salary which will be prorated in 2022 based on your start date. Employees starting on or after October 1 will not be eligible for this year’s bonus. The annual bonus, if any, is based on an annual review and will be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in its sole discretion. If your employment is terminated by either you or the Company for any reason prior to the date bonuses are paid, you are not eligible for a bonus, prorated or otherwise.

 

3. Payroll and Equity Compensation. You will be paid on the Company’s regular payroll dates (currently semi-monthly) and you will be eligible for standard Company benefits relating to medical insurance, vacation, sick leave, and holidays, as they become available. The Company may modify compensation and benefits from time to time as it deems necessary, provided however, in no event shall the annual base salary be less than $400,000 unless mutually agreed. You will also be eligible to participate in the Company’s stock option plan and performance and restricted unit plan, the details of which will be decided by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.

 

4. Options Grant and Restricted Stock Units. You will also be eligible to participate in the Company’s stock option plan and restricted stock unit plan. I will recommend to the Board or Directors of the Company that you be granted: (i) an option to purchase 1,650,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (“Option”), and (ii) a right to receive 1,270,000 restricted stock units of the Company (“RSUs”). These will need to be approved by the Board of Directors. The Option will vest as follows: 25% of the shares on the first anniversary of your employment, 1/36th of the remaining shares per month thereafter over 36 months. The RSUs will vest as follows: 25% of the units on the first anniversary of your employment, 1/12th of the remaining units per quarter thereafter over 12 quarters. The Option and the RSUs are subject to applicable Grant Agreements as well as Company’s Stock Option Plan and Performance and Restricted Unit Plan, respectively.

 

5. Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement. As a Company employee, you will be expected to abide by Company rules and regulations and sign and comply with the attached Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement which prohibits unauthorized use or disclosure of Company proprietary information. In your work for the Company, you will be expected not to use or disclose any confidential information, including trade secrets, of any former employer or other people to whom you have the obligation of confidentiality. Rather, you will be expected to use only that information which is generally known and used by persons with training and experience comparable to your own, which is common knowledge in the industry or otherwise legally in the public domain, or which is otherwise provided or developed by the Company. You agree that you will not bring onto Company premises any unpublished documents or property belonging to any former employer or other person to whom you have an obligation of confidentiality.

 

6. Work Site. The Company maintains highly flexible working conditions. Your status will be as an exempt, salaried employee and you will not be placed on a fixed work schedule but will be expected to be available as required by the nature of your work assignments.

 

7. At Will Employment. Employment with the Company is for no specific period of time. Your employment with the Company will be “at will,” meaning that either you or the Company may terminate your employment at any time and for any reason, with or without cause. After an evaluative period of 6 months, and subject to your performance, the Company may offer you an executive employment agreement, which will reflect the terms contained herein and the

OL 2022.05.05


 

[*****]

Company’s other standard contractual terms, subject to approval by the Board of Directors. Although your job duties, title, compensation and benefits, as well as the Company’s personnel policies and procedures, may change from time to time the “at will” nature of your employment may only be changed in an express written agreement signed by you and the Company.

 

8. Additional Agreements. As a condition of your employment, you agree to execute any additional agreements required by the Company at the start of your employment. This includes any agreements that relate to your confidentiality or intellectual property assignment obligations to the Company. You further agree that at all times during your employment (and afterward as applicable), you will be bound by, and will fully comply with, these additional agreements.

 

9. Contingencies. This offer is contingent upon the satisfactory completion of background and reference checks by the Company.

For purposes of federal immigration law, you will be required to provide to the Company documentary evidence of your identity and eligibility for employment in the United States.
