Forward Looking Statements

 

This communication contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements about future financial and operating results, our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions with respect to future operations, products and services; and other statements identified by words such as “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimated,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “outlook” or words of similar meaning.

 

Forward-looking statements in this communication include statements regarding the future success of the partnership between Newcourt and Psyence, and the Combined Company’s ability to deliver its intended product candidates to patients. These forward-looking statements are based on a number of assumptions, including the assumptions that the Combined Company will obtain all such regulatory and other approvals as may be required to pursue its clinical trials on its product candidates, the results of such clinical trials will be positive, and the Combined Company will be able to commercialize Filament Health Corp’s natural psilocybin drug candidate, PEX010 (25 mg). There are numerous risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among others: the inability to complete the proposed Business Combination; the inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed Business Combination; demand for the Combined Company’s securities being less than anticipated; fluctuations in the price of Newcourt’s common shares, any further delays in the proposed Business Combination due to additional amendments to the Business Combination Agreement; and Newcourt not raising the investment amount expected, or any funds at all. Actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information. Nothing in this communication should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. Except as required by law, Newcourt and Psyence do not intend to update these forward-looking statements.

 

Newcourt and Psyence make no medical, treatment or health benefit claims about the Combined Company’s proposed products. The efficacy of psilocybin, psilocybin analogues, or other psychedelic compounds or nutraceutical products remains the subject of ongoing research. There is no assurance that the use of psilocybin, psilocybin analogues, or other psychedelic compounds or nutraceuticals can diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease or condition. Vigorous scientific research and clinical trials are needed. Psyence Biomed has not completed the clinical trials for the use of its proposed products. Any references to quality, consistency, efficacy, and safety of potential products do not imply that Psyence or the Combined Company verified such in clinical trials or that the Combined Company will complete such trials. If the Combined Company cannot obtain the approvals or research necessary to commercialize its business, it may have a material adverse effect on the Combined Company’s performance and operations.

 

The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of the Registration Statement referenced above and other documents filed by Newcourt from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. There can be no assurance that the data contained herein is reflective of future performance to any degree. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a predictor of future performance as projected financial information and other information are based on estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to various significant risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and Newcourt and Psyence disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of developments occurring after the date of this communication or other circumstances. Forecasts and estimates regarding Psyence’s industry and end markets are based on sources we believe to be reliable, however there can be no assurance these forecasts and estimates will prove accurate in whole or in part. Annualized, pro forma, projected and estimated numbers are used for illustrative purpose only, are not forecasts and may not reflect actual results.

26 Psyence Biomedical Ltd. / Healing Minds with Science . Changing Lives with Nature Risk Factors Relating to Psyence’s Business We are a clinical - stage biotechnology company and have incurred significant losses since our inception . We anticipate that we will incur significant losses for the foreseeable future . Psyence has a limited operating history and expects a number of factors to cause its operating results to fluctuate on an annual basis, which may make it difficult to predict the future performance of Psyence . Psyence has never generated revenue and may never be profitable . Even if the Business Combination is consummated, the Combined Company will require substantial additional funding to achieve its business goals, and if it is unable to obtain this funding when needed and on acceptable terms, it could be forced to delay, limit or terminate its product development efforts . We depend on our current key personnel and our ability to attract and retain employees . The psychedelic therapy and biotechnology industries are undergoing rapid growth and substantial change, which has resulted in an increase in competitors, consolidation and formation of strategic relationships . Acquisitions or other consolidating transactions could harm Psyence in a number of ways, including by losing strategic partners if they are acquired by or enter into relationships with a competitor, losing customers, revenue and market share, or forcing Psyence to expend greater resources to meet new or additional competitive threats, all of which could harm Psyence’s operating results . Current and future preclinical and clinical studies will be conducted outside the United States, and the FDA may not accept data from such studies to support any NDAs submitted after completing the applicable developmental and regulatory prerequisites (absent an IND) . There is a high rate of failure for product candidates proceeding through clinical trials . Because the results of preclinical studies and earlier clinical trials are not necessarily predictive of future results, Psyence may not have favorable results in its planned and future clinical trials . Negative results from clinical trials or studies of others and adverse safety events involving Psyence’s psychedelic analogs could have a material adverse effect on Psyence’s business . Costs associated with compliance with numerous laws and regulations could impact our financial results . In addition, we could become subject to increased enforcement and/or litigation risks associated with the psychedelic therapeutics industry . We are dependent on licensed intellectual property . If we were to lose our rights to licensed intellectual property, we may not be able to continue developing or commercializing our product candidates, if approved . If we breach any of the agreements under which we license the use, development and commercialization rights to our product candidates or technology from third parties or, in certain cases, we fail to meet certain development deadlines, we could lose license rights that are important to our business . Our prospective products will be subject to the various federal and state laws and regulations relating to health and safety and failure to comply with, or changes in, these laws or regulations could have an adverse impact on our business . If we fail to comply with healthcare regulations, we could face substantial enforcement actions, including civil and criminal penalties and our business, operations and financial condition could be adversely affected . Clinical trials are expensive, time - consuming, uncertain and susceptible to change, delay or termination . The results of clinical trials are open to differing interpretations . Psyence may be subject to federal, state and foreign healthcare laws and regulations and implementation of or changes to such healthcare laws and regulations could adversely affect Psyence’s business and results of operations . Psyence may voluntarily suspend or terminate a clinical trial if at any time its believes that any of its product candidates presents an unacceptable risk to participants, if preliminary data demonstrates that the product candidate is unlikely to receive regulatory approval or unlikely to be successfully commercialized, or if sufficient funds to proceed to the next phases of clinical trials are not raised . The psychedelic therapy industry and market are relatively new, and this industry and market may not continue to exist or grow as anticipated . Negative public opinion and perception of the psychedelic industry could adversely impact Psyence’s ability to operate and Psyence’s growth strategy . The expansion of the use of psychedelics in the medical industry may require new clinical research into effective medical therapies . The psychedelic therapy industry is difficult to quantify and investors will be reliant on their own estimates of the accuracy of market data . Psyence may not be able to adequately protect or enforce its intellectual property rights, which could harm its competitive position . If third parties claim that intellectual property owned or used by Psyence infringes upon their intellectual property, Psyence’s operating profits could be adversely affected . If Psyence is not able to adequately prevent disclosure of trade secrets and other proprietary information, the value of its products could be significantly diminished . The Proposed Transaction is subject to a number of conditions to closing including among others : obtaining Newcourt shareholder approval, Psyence Biomed, and, if necessary, Psyence shareholder approval of the Business Combination ; the completion of regulatory review from the SEC and the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) ; the filing effectiveness of the Registration Statement ; obtaining required consents or approvals ; and the resignation of certain Newcourt's directors and officers . The obligations of each of Newcourt and Psyence to consummate the Business Combination are also conditioned on, among other things, the accuracy of the representations and warranties as set forth by the other parties in the Business Combination Agreement (subject to certain materiality qualifications) and the performance by the other parties, in all material respects, of their obligations under the Business Combination Agreement required to be performed at or prior to the closing . In addition, consummation of the Business Combination is subject to the parties being satisfied with their due diligence of the other parties, any conditions that the CSE may impose, including, if required, Psyence shareholder approval, and is also predicated on the parties settling and executing a number of ancillary agreements, including an amended and restated Newcourt shareholder rights agreement, lock - up agreements with Newcourt SPAC Sponsor LLC (the "Sponsor"), a support agreement with the Sponsor, and a support agreement with Psyence Group Inc . Risk Factors Relating to the Proposed Transaction The Proposed Transaction is subject to a number of conditions to closing including among others : obtaining Newcourt shareholder approval, Psyence Biomed, and, if necessary, Psyence shareholder approval of the Business Combination ; the completion of regulatory review from the SEC and the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) ; the filing effectiveness of the Registration Statement ; obtaining required consents or approvals ; and the resignation of certain Newcourt's directors and officers . The obligations of each of Newcourt and Psyence to consummate the Business Combination are also conditioned on, among other things, the accuracy of the representations and warranties as set forth by the other parties in the Business Combination Agreement (subject to certain materiality qualifications) and the performance by the other parties, in all material respects, of their obligations under the Business Combination Agreement required to be performed at or prior to the closing . In addition, consummation of the Business Combination is subject to the parties being satisfied with their due diligence of the other parties, any conditions that the CSE may impose, including, if required, Psyence shareholder approval, and is also predicated on the parties settling and executing a number of ancillary agreements, including an amended and restated Newcourt shareholder rights agreement, lock - up agreements with Newcourt SPAC Sponsor LLC (the "Sponsor"), a support agreement with the Sponsor, and a support agreement with Psyence Group Inc . Readers are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward - looking statements .
