Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

 

The disclosure under Item 7.01 relating to the treatment of fractional shares is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On August 23, 2022, InMed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the “Company”), issued a press release announcing the Company’s Board of Directors’ approval for a 1 for 25 reverse stock split of all of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares (the “Consolidation”) in order to regain compliance with all of Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements. As a result of the Consolidation, each 25 of the Company’s common shares issued and outstanding pre-Consolidation will be automatically combined and converted into one share post-Consolidation.

 

The exercise price and number of common shares of the Company issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options, warrants or other convertible securities will be proportionately adjusted to reflect the Consolidation in accordance with the terms of such securities. Per the requirements of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), under which the Company is regulated, if fractional shares are to be converted into whole shares, each fractional share remaining after the completion of the Consolidation that is less than half of a share must be cancelled and each fractional share that is at least half of a share must be rounded up to one whole share, therefore, no fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Consolidation.

 

The Company’s common shares will be assigned a new CUSIP number (457637601) and are expected to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis at the market open on September 7, 2022.

 

As a result of this Consolidation, the Company’s outstanding common shares will be reduced from 18,014,937 to approximately 720,597 common shares on a non-diluted basis. Immediately after the Consolidation, each shareholder will hold the same percentage of common shares outstanding as such shareholder held immediately prior to the Consolidation.

 

A copy of the Press Release announcing the Consolidation is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The information set forth in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. The information set forth in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any other filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

 

Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

The disclosure under Item 7.01 is incorporated herein by reference except the last paragraph under Item 7.01.

 

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

InMed Announces Share Consolidation to Meet Nasdaq Listing Criteria

 

Vancouver, BC – August 23, 2022 – InMed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“InMed” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: INM), a leader in the research, development, manufacturing and commercialization of rare cannabinoids, today announces, pursuant to a directors’ resolution, InMed will be consolidating all of its issued and outstanding share capital on the basis of one (1) post- consolidation share for each twenty five (25) pre-consolidation common shares of the Company (the “Consolidation”) in order to regain compliance with all of Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements.

 

The Consolidation will result in the number of issued and outstanding common shares of the Company being reduced from 18,014,937 to approximately 720,597 common shares on a non-diluted basis and each shareholder will hold the same percentage of common shares outstanding immediately after the Consolidation as such shareholder held immediately prior to the Consolidation.

 

The exercise price and number of common shares of the Company issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options, warrants or other convertible securities will be proportionately adjusted to reflect the Consolidation in accordance with the terms of such securities. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Consolidation. Per the requirements of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), under which the Company is regulated, if fractional shares are to be converted into whole shares, each fractional share remaining after the completion of the Consolidation that is less than half of a share must be cancelled and each fractional share that is at least half of a share must be rounded up to one whole share.

 

The Company’s common shares will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on the Nasdaq Capital Market commencing at the market open, September 7, 2022. The Company’s trading symbol “INM” will remain unchanged, while the common shares will begin trading with a new CUSIP number of 457637601 and a new ISIN number of CA4576376012.

 

Registered shareholders holding physical share certificates will receive by mail a letter of transmittal advising of the Consolidation and containing instructions. Holders of common shares of the Company who hold uncertificated common shares (i.e., common shares held in book-entry form and not represented by a physical share certificate), either as registered holders or beneficial owners, will have their existing book-entry account(s) electronically adjusted by the Company’s transfer agent or, for beneficial shareholders, by their brokerage firms, banks, trusts or other nominees that hold in “street name” for their benefit. Such holders do not need to take any additional actions to exchange their pre-Consolidation common shares for post-Consolidation common shares.
