Cybin (CYBN.NE) Closes Overnight Public Offering, Fortifies Cash Balance

Cybin (CYBN.NE) announced today that it has closed its previously announced overnight marketed offering including the exercise in full of the over-allotment option granted to the Underwriters.

“Investor demand for this financing was very strong and we are thankful for the outstanding work of our banking syndicate partners and advisors and we welcome all new Cybin investors that share our vision. Cybin was well funded before this financing, and this new funding now further extends the runway for our drug programs, discovery pipeline and IP portfolio, and provides additional flexibility to support potential M&A opportunities,” said Doug Drysdale, Chief Executive Officer of Cybin.

In consideration for their services, the Company paid to the Underwriters a cash commission equal to $2,240,129 and issued 658,860 compensations options of the Company. Each compensation option is exercisable to acquire one share at the issue price for a period of 24 months from the closing date of the offering.

With this in mind, Cybin intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate and working capital purposes.
