Explanatory Note

Transactions Undertaken to Achieve Compliance with Nasdaq Equity Rule

This Current Report on Form 6-K is being filed to disclose the actions taken by Psyence Biomedical Ltd (the “Company”) to achieve compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the "Equity Rule") and to provide a summary of the Company’s current equity position.

As part of its efforts to meet and sustain compliance with the minimum $2.5 million stockholders’ equity requirement under the Equity Rule, the Company undertook the following key transactions:

1. Common Stock Purchase Agreement

The Company entered into a $25 million common stock purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with White Lion Capital, LLC. on July 31,2024. The Company has raised net proceeds of $3.5 million under the Purchase Agreement to date.

This Purchase Agreement provides the Company with an ongoing, flexible mechanism to raise cost-effective, debt-free financing while maintaining long term equity compliance, as future sales of common stock are expected to sustain the Company’s stockholders’ equity above the $2.5 million threshold.

2. Elimination of Convertible Debt and termination agreement with Harraden Circle Investments, LLC

The Company successfully converted all outstanding convertible debt held by Harraden Circle Investments, LLC (“Harraden”) into shares. The Company raised net proceeds of $3.5 million since January 2024, related to the convertible debt.

In November 2024, the Company entered into a termination agreement with Harraden, providing a final settlement of all obligations under the convertible note. This settlement involved the issuance of 151,010 shares and 182,323 warrants with an exercise price of $0.0000075, effectively eliminating the Company’s liability and all future obligations under this agreement.

3. Conversion of Promissory Notes

The Company had previously issued promissory notes that were payable in either cash or shares at the option of the holders. These promissory notes have been fully converted by the issuance of 793,336 common shares as of the date of this filing, further contributing to the Company’s positive equity position by $2.8 million.

4. Acquisition of Psyence Labs Ltd

In October 2024, the Company completed the previously announced acquisition of a stake valued at $1.1 million in Psyence Labs Ltd ("PsyLabs"), a privately-held company, by the issuance of 283,688 common shares. PsyLabs is a leading psychedelic Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) development company, federally licensed to cultivate and export psilocybin mushrooms and other psychedelic compounds.

PsyLabs has developed proprietary extraction and purification technologies for natural psilocybin, achieving industry-leading purity levels. The Company is now scaling its processes to full-scale commercial production and regulatory-compliant product formulations, in collaboration with a major U.K.-owned contract manufacturing organization.

This acquisition aligns with the Company’s strategic focus on the psychedelic therapeutic market and contributes to the increase of its stockholders' equity by $1.1 million.

Current Stockholders’ Equity Position

As a result of the transactions described above, as of the date of this Current Report on Form 6-K, the Company believes it now has stockholders’ equity above the $2.5 million requirement and is awaiting a compliance determination from Nasdaq.

These measures demonstrate the Company’s commitment to achieving compliance and sustaining long-term compliance with Nasdaq listing standards.
