Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(In thousands, except share and per share amounts)
DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc. (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. MindMed US was incorporated on May 30, 2019.
MindMed is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel product candidates to treat brain health disorders. The Company’s mission is to be the global leader in the development and delivery of treatments for brain health disorders 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 neurotransmitter pathways that play key roles in brain health disorders. This specifically includes pharmaceutically optimized product candidates derived from the psychedelic and empathogen drug classes, including MM120 and MM402, the Company’s lead product candidates.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $364.1 million. Through September 30, 2024, the Company’s financial support has primarily been provided by proceeds from the issuance of its common shares, no par value per share (“Common Shares”), warrants to purchase Common Shares, and the Company’s credit facility.
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 unaudited 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.
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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company Financial Accounting Standards Board (“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 the first sale of its common equity securities under an effective Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") registration statement or such earlier time that it is no longer an emerging growth company.
In the opinion of management, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
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, 2023, which are included in the Company’s 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024 (the “2023 Annual Report”). The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in the audited financial statements for the periods ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, included in the 2023 Annual Report. Since the date of those financial statements, there have been no changes to the Company's significant accounting policies.
The accompanying unaudited 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 and as amended by Accounting Standards Updates of 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Foreign Currency
Prior to April 1, 2024, the Company’s functional currency was the Canadian dollar (“CAD”). Translation gains and losses from the application of the U.S. dollar (“USD”) as the reporting currency during the period that the Canadian dollar was the functional currency were included as part of cumulative currency translation adjustment, which is reported as a component of shareholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income.
Following the Company’s voluntary delisting from Cboe Canada in April 2024, the Company reassessed its functional currency and determined that, as of April 1, 2024, its functional currency had changed from the CAD to the USD. The Company's analysis included various factors, including: the Company’s cash flows and expenses denominated primarily in USD, and the primary market for the Company’s Common Shares trading in USD. The change in functional currency was accounted for prospectively from April 1, 2024, and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements prior to and including the period ended March 31, 2024 were not restated for the change in functional currency.
For periods commencing April 1, 2024, monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than USD are remeasured at period-end using the period-end exchange rate. Opening balances related to non-monetary assets and liabilities are based on prior period translated amounts, and non-monetary assets acquired, and non-monetary liabilities incurred after April 1, 2024, are translated at the approximate exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Income and expense accounts are translated at the average rates in effect during the fiscal year. Foreign exchange gains and losses are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
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. As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s cash equivalents consisted of U.S. government money market funds at a high-credit quality and federally insured financial institution. The Company’s accounts, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company had cash equivalents of $293.3 million as of September 30, 2024, and $96.7 million as of December 31, 2023.
Net Loss per Share
Forthe three-month period ended September 30, 2024, the Company determined that the 2022 USD Financing Warrants had a dilutive impact to the calculation of net loss per share. As a result, the Company calculated diluted net loss per Common Share for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as follows:
| Three Months EndedSeptember 30, | |
|---|---|
| Numerator: | |
| Net loss attributable to common shareholders, basic | $(13,684) |
| Change in fair value of 2022 USD Financing Warrants | (8,360) |
| Net loss attributable to common shareholders, diluted | $(22,044) |
| Denominator: | |
| Weighted-average shares used in computing net loss per share attributable to common shareholders, basic | 77,909,441 |
| Incremental shares from 2022 USD Financing Warrants | 2,329,247 |
| Weighted-average shares used in computing net loss per share attributable to common shareholders, diluted | 80,238,688 |
Thefollowing potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share due to their anti-dilutive effect:
| Three Months EndedSeptember 30, | Nine Months EndedSeptember 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| Options issued and outstanding under stock option plan | 3,698,252 | 2,234,288 | 3,698,252 | 2,234,288 |

| Total | 6,285,990 | 13,203,004 | 12,275,290 | 13,203,004 |
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard setting bodies and adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 requires disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within the segment measure of profit or loss. This guidance will be applied retrospectively and is effective for annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2024. The Company does not expect implementation of the new guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09"). ASU 2023-09 requires annual disclosures of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold and a disaggregation of income taxes paid, net of refunds. ASU 2023-09 also eliminates certain existing disclosure requirements related to uncertain tax positions and unrecognized deferred tax liabilities. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. ASU 2023-09 should be applied prospectively. Retrospective adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact this standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The fair value of the warrant liability is measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The warrants to purchase Common Shares issued in our underwritten public offering that closed on September 30, 2022 (the “2022 USD Financing Warrants”) are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy and are determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:
| As of September 30, 2024 | As of December 31, 2023 | |
|---|---|---|
| Share price | $5.69 | $3.66 |

Intangible assets, net
Asof December 31, 2023, the Company’s developed technology intangible assets had a gross carrying value of $9.5 million, accumulated amortization of $9.0 million, and a net carrying value of $0.5 million. The Company's developed technology intangible assets were fully amortized as of March 31, 2024.
Amortization expense included in research and development expense was $0.5 million and $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $0 and $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
ACCRUED EXPENSES
At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, accrued expenses consisted of the following (in thousands):

In June 2024, the Company made a lump sum payment of $0.3 million in full satisfaction of its remaining obligations of the contribution payable liability. As a result, both parties were subsequently released from any further commitments from the agreement. The difference between the fair value of the lump sum payment of $0.3 million, and the carrying value of the contribution payable prior to the settlement of $2.8 million, resulted in a gain on extinguishment of $2.5 million recognized by the Company in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Stock Incentive Plans
Effective March 7, 2023, the Company amended the definitions of “Fair Market Value” and “Market Value” under the MindMed Stock Option Plan (the “Stock Option Plan”) and the Performance and Restricted Share Unit Plan (the “RSU Plan”), respectively, to be based upon the closing price of the Company's Common Shares as traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market on the last trading day on which Common Shares traded prior to the day on which an equity award is granted (the “Amendments”). This change is only applicable for equity compensation awards granted subsequent to the Amendments. Accordingly, stock options granted after March 7, 2023 ("USD Options") are denominated in USD, and the grant date fair value of restricted share units granted after March 7, 2023 ("USD RSUs") is denominated in USD.

The RSU Plan sets out the framework for determining eligibility as well as the terms of any stock-based compensation granted. The RSU Plan was approved by the shareholders as part of the Arrangement. The Company is authorized to issue such number of RSUs equal to 15% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Common Shares under the terms of the RSU Plan, together with Common Shares that are issuable pursuant to outstanding awards or grants under any other compensation or incentive mechanism involving the issuance or potential issuance of Common Shares, including the Option Plan and ESPP.

Directors' Deferred Share Unit 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 deferred share units (“DDSUs”) which are cash settled awards. Effective June 8, 2023, the Company amended the definition of “Fair Market Value” under the DDSU Plan to be based upon the volume weighted average trading price of the Company’s Common Shares as traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market for the five business days on which Common Shares are traded on Nasdaq immediately preceding the applicable date. This change is only applicable for DDSUs granted subsequent to June 8, 2023. Accordingly, DDSUs granted after June 8, 2023 are denominated in USD. The DDSUs generally vest ratably over twelve months after grant and are settled within 90 days of the date the director ceases service to the Company.
Forthe nine months ended September 30, 2024, stock-based compensation expense of $0.5 million was recognized relating to the revaluation of the vested DDSUs, recorded in general and administrative expense in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company recognized a decrease of stock-based compensation expense of $0.1 million relating to the revaluation of the vested DDSUs for the three months ended September 30, 2024. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company didnot issue any additional DDSUs. There were 148,729 DDSUs vested as of September 30, 2024. The liability associated with the outstanding vested DDSU’s was $0.9 million as of September 30, 2024, and was recorded to accrued expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

On April 16, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc. Employee Share Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), subject to its approval by the Company’s shareholders. On June 10, 2024, the Company's shareholders approved the ESPP at the Company’s 2024 Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders. A total of 750,000 Common Shares were reserved for future issuance under the ESPP.
As of August 15, 2024, the Company commenced the first offering under the ESPP. The fair value of Common Shares to be issued under the ESPP was estimated using the following assumptions:
| Expected term | 0.5 years |
|---|---|
| Expected volatility | 100.78% |
| Risk-free rate | 5.04% |
| Weighted average grant date fair value per share | $2.79 |
Stock-based Compensation Expense
Stock-based compensation expense for all equity arrangements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was as follows (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| Research and development | $1,110 | $2,023 | $4,747 | $5,600 |
| General and administrative | 2,660 | 2,203 | 8,721 | 6,218 |
| Total share-based compensation expense | $3,770 | $4,226 | $13,468 | $11,818 |
As of September 30, 2024, there was approximately $11.7 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested options granted to employees under the Stock Option Plan that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.4 years. As of September 30, 2024, there was approximately $9.4 million of total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs granted to employees under the RSU Plan that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.4 years.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had obligations to make future payments, representing significant research and development contracts and other commitments that are known and committed in the amount of approximately $70.2 million. Most of these agreements are cancelable by the Company with notice. These commitments include agreements related to the conduct of the Company's clinical trials, sponsored research, manufacturing and preclinical studies.
The Company enters into research, development and license agreements in the ordinary course of business where the Company receives research services and rights to proprietary technologies. Milestone and royalty payments that may become due under various agreements are dependent on, among other factors, clinical trials, regulatory approvals and ultimately the successful development of a new drug, the outcome and timing of which are uncertain.
The Company periodically enters into research and license agreements with third parties that include indemnification provisions customary in the industry. These guarantees generally require the Company to compensate the other party for certain damages and costs incurred as a result of claims arising from research and development activities undertaken by or on behalf of the Company. In some cases, the maximum potential amount of future payments that could be required under these indemnification provisions could be unlimited. These indemnification provisions generally survive termination of the underlying agreement. The nature of the indemnification obligations prevents the Company from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount it could be required to pay. Historically, the Company has not made any indemnification payments under such agreements and no amount has been accrued in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements with respect to these indemnification obligations.
CREDIT FACILITY
On August 11, 2023 (the “Closing Date”), the Company and certain of its subsidiaries party thereto, as co-borrowers (together withthe Company, the “Borrowers”) entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with K2 HealthVentures LLC (“K2HV”), as administrative agent and Canadian collateral agent for lenders thereunder (K2HV, together with any other lender from time to time, the "Lenders"), and Ankura Trust Company, LLC, as collateral trustee for the Lenders. The Loan Agreement provides for up to an aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million in term loans (the “Term Loan”) consisting of a first tranche term loan of $15.0 million funded on the Closing Date, subsequent tranches of term loans totaling $20.0 million to be funded upon the achievement of certain time-based, clinical and regulatory milestones, and an additional tranche term loan of up to $15.0 million upon the Company’s request, subject to review by the Lenders of certain information from the Company and discretionary approval by the Lenders. On the Closing Date, the Company paid a facility fee of $0.3 million to K2HV. The second milestone-based tranche of $10.0 million was achieved and funded in the second quarter of 2024.
The Term Loan matures on August 1, 2027, and the obligations of the Company under the Loan Agreement are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company, excluding intellectual property.
The Term Loan bears a variable interest rate equal to the greater of (i)10.95% and (ii) the sum of (a) theprime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal plus (b)2.95%. The Company may prepay, at its option, all, but not less than all, of the outstanding principal balance and all accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the principal balance being prepaid of the Term Loan, subject to certain prepayment notice requirements; provided that such prepayment notice may be conditioned upon the effectiveness of a refinancing or any other transaction, in which case such prepayment notice may be revoked by the Company. Principal payments were postponed from March 2025 to March 2026 as the interest only extension event per the Loan Agreement was met.
The Lenders may elect at any time following the Closing Date and prior to the full repayment of the Term Loan to convert any portion of the principal amount of the term loans then outstanding, up to an aggregate principal amount of $4.0 million, into the Company’s Common Shares (the “Conversion Shares”), at a conversion price equal to $4.01 per Conversion Share, subject to certain limitations. The embedded conversion option qualifies for a scope exception from derivative accounting because it is both indexed to the Company’s own Common Shares and meets the conditions for equity classification. As of September 30, 2024, the Company estimated the fair value of the Conversion Shares to be $3.7 million using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
The Loan Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, including covenants that limit or restrict the Company's ability to, among other things: dispose of assets; make changes to the Company's business, management, ownership or business locations; merge or consolidate; incur additional indebtedness, encumbrances or liens; pay dividends or other distributions or repurchase equity; make investments; and enter into certain transactions with affiliates, in each case subject to certain exceptions. The Company is in compliance with the Loan Agreement as of September 30, 2024.
The Company recorded $0.7 million and $1.5 millionin interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.
Future expected repayments of principal amount due on the credit facility as of September 30, 2024 are as follows (in thousands):
| Remainder of 2024 · $ · - | |
|---|---|
| 2025 | - |
| 2026 | 13,369 |
| 2027 | 11,631 |
| Total principal repayments | $25,000 |
| Unamortized debt issuance costs | (689) |
| Total credit facility, non-current, net | $24,311 |
As of September 30, 2024, the Company estimated the fair value of the credit facility to be $24.7 million, assuming the full $4.0 million of principal is converted into Conversion Shares.
