PR Newswire (Canada) Optimi's 5mg psilocybin capsules are prescribed commercially for treatment-resistant depression in Australia, with additional product from the run earmarked for planned clinical trials in the United States and EuropeVANCOUVER, BC, June 2, 2026 /CNW/ - via IBN – Optimi Health Corp. (NASDAQ: OPTH) (CSE: OPTI) (FSE: 8BN0) (the "Company" or "Optimi"), a commercial-stage pharmaceutical manufacturer of regulated psychedelic drug products, today announced the completion of a GMP production run of its 5mg psilocybin finished drug product. The finished psilocybin capsules use the same formulation already prescribed to patients in Australia for treatment-resistant depression ("TRD"). The Company has also updated the product's bottling configuration to improve ease of use for prescribers and patients in the Australian market.Additional product from the same production run is earmarked to support upcoming clinical research in the United States and clinical trials in Europe across various indications.All stages of manufacturing were completed in-house and on-site at Optimi's facility under its Health Canada Drug Establishment Licence ("DEL"): biomass cultivation, extraction of the active pharmaceutical ingredient ("API") using Optimi's proprietary methods, encapsulation of the 5mg finished drug product, and packaging. The DEL authorizes Optimi to manufacture, package, label, test, store, and distribute controlled drug products, positioning the Company as a vertically integrated GMP supply layer for regulated psychedelic medicine.The pharmaceutical grade facility is built to institutional security standards, including a Health Canada compliant Level 8 vault with the capacity to securely store controlled substances valued at up to C$100 million. Optimi is authorized by Health Canada to hold up to 20 kilograms of psilocybin and approximately 2,000 kilograms of biomass on site, giving the Company commercial-scale supply capacity."Optimi is one of the only companies to take naturally derived psilocybin from biomass to a finished drug product, entirely under one roof and on our own licence," said Dane Stevens, CEO and Co-Founder of Optimi. "What sets Optimi apart is that we serve both sides of this market simultaneously. The same 5mg psilocybin medicine prescribed in-clinic for treatment-resistant depression today, within a fully regulated framework, is the drug also being studied in clinical trials across a range of indications. We are proud to supply patients today and the researchers shaping what comes next."Optimi supplies finished psilocybin and MDMA drug products to regulated markets internationally, in support of both patient access and clinical research. Building on its established export capability under the DEL, the Company is positioned to serve approved programs across multiple jurisdictions.

Optimi Health Welcomes Expanded Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy Access Under Updated Authorized Prescriber Framework in AustraliaMay 29, 2026 11:14 AM
PR Newswire (Canada) Updated TGA recommendations broaden therapist eligibility, accept a wider range of treatment settings, and reinforce Australia's position as the world's leading commercial market for prescribed psilocybin and MDMAVANCOUVER, BC, May 29, 2026 /CNW/ - via IBN – Optimi Health Corp. (NASDAQ: OPTH) (CSE: OPTI) (FSE: 8BN0) (the "Company" or "Optimi"), a commercial-stage psychedelic pharmaceutical manufacturer, today acknowledged the final recommendations published by the Therapeutic Goods Administration ("TGA") following its targeted consultation on the Authorized Prescriber ("AP") scheme for psilocybin and MDMA. Under the AP scheme, authorized psychiatrists may prescribe Optimi's MDMA for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder ("PTSD") and psilocybin for treatment-resistant depression ("TRD") from the Company's GMP-compliant production facility in Canada, making Australia the first country in the world to recognize, and regulate, both substances as medicines for these indications.The updated framework, published following stakeholder consultation that closed on May 19, 2026, introduces material changes to how psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy ("PAT") is delivered in Australia. The changes are designed to expand the eligible workforce, open new categories of treatment setting, and accelerate scaling of Australia's commercial program, which remains the leading reference point globally for prescribed psilocybin and MDMA care."The TGA's updated framework is a meaningful step toward unlocking the workforce, settings, and prescriber base needed to further scale psychedelic-assisted therapy in Australia," said Dane Stevens, CEO of Optimi. "After over two years of regulated commercial use, no serious adverse events have been reported under the scheme. Australia continues to be the most advanced commercial reference point for what reimbursed, real-world psychedelic care looks like, and Optimi is positioned to support that expansion as patient volumes increase."Therapy Team Composition Has Been BroadenedUnder the updated framework, the therapy dyad must include at least one therapist registered with a National Board and the AP psychiatrist is required to be physically present on-site during administration of the medicine and to conduct real-time patient screening and informed consent.The second practitioner in the dosing room may be drawn from the wider pool of suitably trained professionals, including psychotherapists, counsellors, social workers, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health workers. The AP psychiatrist is responsible for determining qualifications and competency of any additional practitioner, subject to oversight by the relevant Human Research Ethics Committee ("HREC").Australia's training ecosystem supports the Certificate in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy ("CPAT(TM)"), delivered by Mind Medicine Australia, which has trained more than 750 clinicians. The program is accredited under Australian Medical CPD Standards, recognized by HRECs and the TGA, and offers 127+ CPD hours, clinical experience pathways, and a national alumni network.This change opens the door to genuinely multidisciplinary therapy teams. The TGA noted that the broader composition will support workforce capacity in rural and regional Australia, address shortages, and improve culturally appropriate care.Treatment Can Now Occur Outside Hospital SettingsThe TGA has confirmed that PAT can be delivered in any medically supervised environment that meets defined safety standards. Sites must provide secure Schedule 8 storage, trained staff and equipment for clinical care and resuscitation, immediate access to rescue medications, robust documentation, and a location within 15 minutes of an accredited healthcare facility with an emergency department.This represents a meaningful shift from prior assumptions that day hospital or inpatient settings were required, and aligns with stakeholder feedback that less clinical, more therapeutic environments often improve patient comfort and outcomes.Real-World Safety Profile Remains CleanAggregated data obtained from the TGA confirm that no serious adverse events have been reported under the AP scheme since December 2025. Every AP psychiatrist is required to report patient numbers and any serious adverse events to the relevant Human Research Ethics Committee, the TGA, and the applicable state health department, providing a structured real-world safety surveillance framework. Adverse event and outcome data are also being collected by the Australian Interventional Pharmacotherapy and Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy Research Registry ("AIPPAP-RR") hosted by the Australian National University.This clean safety profile, accumulated under regulated commercial conditions rather than a clinical trial environment, supports the case for continued program expansion.Reimbursement Now Spans Public and Private PayersCoverage for psychedelic-assisted therapy in Australia is no longer confined to private pay and now spans both sides of the funding system. Public coverage includes the Department of Veterans' Affairs ("DVA"), the National Disability Insurance Scheme ("NDIS"), and WorkCover schemes. Private coverage includes Medibank, Australia's largest private health insurer. The combination of an expanded prescriber and therapist workforce, broader site eligibility, and growing reimbursement across public and private payers creates a credible employment pathway for trained practitioners and an addressable patient population for commercial supply.About Optimi Health Corp.Optimi Health Corp.

Optimi Health Advances Highest-Purity Natural Psilocybin Extract to DateMay 26, 2026 7:00 AM
NewsfileThe 6% naturally derived extract is set to be encapsulated for use in patients suffering from treatment-resistant depression under Australia's Authorised Prescriber Scheme, where no serious adverse events have been reported as of December 2025Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - May 26, 2026) - Optimi Health Corp. (NASDAQ: OPTH) (CSE: OPTI) (FSE: 8BN0) (the "Company" or "Optimi"), a commercial-stage pharmaceutical manufacturer of regulated psychedelic drug products, today announced the completion of a production run of naturally derived psilocybin extract measuring approximately 6% psilocybin content, representing the highest-purity botanical psilocybin extract produced by the Company to date.The milestone reflects sustained gains across Optimi's cultivation program. Drawing on a proprietary library of more than 200 distinct mushroom genetics maintained at the Company's facilities, Optimi has selectively advanced cultivars demonstrating increasingly elevated psilocybin content. Those cultivation improvements, combined with refinements to the Company's extraction process, have produced a botanical extract substantially more concentrated than prior production cycles while maintaining its naturally derived profile.A portion of the completed extract has been earmarked to support upcoming clinical research programs in Europe, where Optimi is expected to supply GMP-grade finished material into sponsor-led studies. Consistent with the Company's role as a regulated manufacturer rather than a drug-development sponsor, Optimi's contribution is the supply of psilocybin-containing finished drug products.Remaining biomass from the psilocybin production cycle will be retained at Optimi's facilities for ongoing product development, formulation refinement, and future regulated supply initiatives as international access pathways continue to expand.The milestone also reinforces Optimi's commercial supply in Australia, where the Company's naturally derived 5 mg psilocybin capsules are being prescribed for treatment-resistant depression ("TRD") under the Therapeutic Goods Administration's Authorised Prescriber Scheme. The higher-purity extract strengthens the material base supporting that supply. Optimi remains among a small number of commercial-stage companies worldwide whose psilocybin drug products are reaching patients through reimbursed treatment pathways, with eligible Australian patients accessing psilocybin-assisted therapy for TRD supported by established reimbursement initiatives.Aggregated data published in connection with Australia's Authorised Prescriber Scheme, under which Optimi has supplied psilocybin finished products since September 2025, indicate that no serious adverse events have been reported among patients treated with psilocybin under the Scheme as of December 2025."Higher purity from naturally derived material is a manufacturing achievement," said Dane Stevens, CEO and Co-Founder of Optimi Health. "We have spent years building a cultivation and extraction platform that gets stronger with every cycle. Reaching 6% psilocybin while maintaining the botanical footprint at scale is exactly the kind of progress we strive for. It strengthens supply for Australian patients, supports clinical research opportunities, and expands the development potential of infrastructure we own and operate."About Optimi Health Corp.Optimi Health Corp.

Optimi Health Launches Ibogaine Initiative as U.S. Executive Order Signals Pathway for Psychedelic Drug ProductsApril 20, 2026 6:00 AM
NewsfileThe Company's Health Canada-licensed GMP psychedelic manufacturing platform ready to serve emerging demand for ibogaine, a naturally occurring alkaloid under investigation for opioid use disorder, PTSD, and traumatic brain injuryVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 20, 2026) - Optimi Health Corp. (CSE: OPTI) (OTCQX: OPTHF) (FSE: 8BN) (the "Company" or "Optimi"), a commercial-stage pharmaceutical manufacturer of regulated psychedelic drug products, today launched its Ibogaine Initiative, a program to extend the Company's Health Canada-licensed GMP platform to include the manufacture and supply of ibogaine. The initiative comes as the United States has, for the first time, taken initial steps toward a federal policy framework intended to accelerate research and patient access to psychedelic drug products.Ibogaine is a naturally occurring alkaloid derived from the root bark of the Tabernanthe iboga shrub, native to Central and West Africa. It has been studied for its potential to interrupt opioid withdrawal and craving, and for its effects on substance-use disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and traumatic brain injury (TBI). A 2024 Stanford-led study of U.S. Special Operations veterans, published in Nature Medicine, reported reductions in PTSD, depression, anxiety, and functional disability in a cohort following a single ibogaine treatment protocol.Optimi is commercial-stage in Australia, where authorized physicians are actively prescribing the Company's MDMA for PTSD and its naturally derived psilocybin for treatment-resistant depression (TRD). In parallel, the Company supplies pharmaceutical-grade MDMA and psilocybin to clinical trials and special access programs globally.As part of its U.S. market readiness strategy, Optimi obtained an FDA Establishment Identifier (FEI) number in 2025, supporting its ability to engage with U.S. regulatory and commercial pathways as they evolve.On April 18, 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order directing federal agencies to accelerate research, regulatory review, and patient access pathways for psychedelic drug products, including ibogaine. At the signing, FDA Commissioner Marty Makary confirmed Investigational New Drug (IND) clearance for ibogaine, enabling sponsors to advance U.S. clinical trials. The Order directs the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) to match qualifying state-level investments in psychedelic research, beginning with a $50 million federal allocation, which may be paired with Texas's previously authorized $50 million ibogaine research commitment. The Order also extends federal Right to Try eligibility to psychedelic drug products and contemplates priority review mechanisms, such as the Commissioner's National Priority Voucher, to potentially shorten FDA review timelines.Management CommentaryDane Stevens, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Optimi Health, said:"Optimi already manufactures and supplies GMP-grade psychedelic drug products to patients under regulated frameworks, and today in Australia, doctors are prescribing our MDMA for PTSD and psilocybin for treatment-resistant depression.Taken together, these actions move ibogaine from what has historically been a fragmented, primarily offshore ecosystem toward a defined U.S. regulatory and funding pathway. The ibogaine market took shape in a meaningful way over the weekend following a U.S. Executive Order, and it will require high-quality, regulated supply. With a fully GMP, Health Canada-licensed manufacturing infrastructure in place, Optimi is well positioned to support this next phase of market development," concluded Stevens.Organizations, sponsors, and treatment providers interested in exploring ibogaine supply, research collaboration, or clinical program support are encouraged to contact Optimi at sales@optimihealth.ca.

Optimi Health Reports Early Clinical Rollout of Natural Psilocybin Capsules for Treatment-Resistant Depression in AustraliaFebruary 26, 2026 7:00 AM
NewsfileFirst Patients of 2026 Treated Outside of Sponsor-Led Clinical Trials Under Australia's Regulated FrameworkVancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 26, 2026) - Optimi Health Corp. (CSE: OPTI) (OTCQX: OPTHF) (FSE: 8BN) ("Optimi" or the "Company"), a Health Canada-licensed manufacturer of pharmaceutical-grade psychedelic drug products, today reported that patients diagnosed with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) have now been treated in Australia using the Company's naturally derived 5 mg psilocybin capsules under the Authorised Prescriber Scheme.The clinical administration follows the Company's first psilocybin shipment of 2026 and represents the early rollout of Optimi's finished drug product across authorised clinics operating within Australia's nationally regulated access framework. Product was dispensed through Optimi's licensed Australian pharmacy partner pursuant to approved import permits prior to clinical administration. Treatments were administered by Authorised Prescribers in accordance with Australian regulatory requirements.This milestone occurs approximately six months following Optimi's initial commercial launch of psilocybin supply into Australia and reflects early-stage clinical adoption within the regulated access pathway. Prior to this, the Company completed multiple MDMA shipments for supply under Australia's Authorised Prescriber Scheme. Optimi is now supplying both psilocybin for TRD and MDMA for PTSD into Australia's nationally regulated medical framework.Both products are produced at Optimi's accredited facility in Canada and comply with the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) Quality Guidelines, including TGO 112 and TGO 113, where applicable."We are seeing the Authorised Prescriber pathway function as intended — enabling regulated access for eligible patients under appropriate clinical oversight," said Ilan Hayman of Mind Medicine Australia. "The early administration of psilocybin-assisted therapy under this framework reflects careful implementation by clinicians and the continued maturation of Australia's regulated access model."Treatment data and patient-reported outcomes are being captured through Australia's national registry in partnership with Australian National University. Psilocybin-assisted therapy in Australia is prescribed through authorised programs supported by Mind Medicine Australia.Clinicians, hospital networks, and authorised programs operating under the Authorised Prescriber Scheme may seek information regarding access through Mind Medicine Australia at info@mindmedicineaustralia.org.For global enquiries outside of Australia, please contact sales@optimihealth.ca.
