InMed Pharmaceuticals Enters All-Stock Merger Agreement with Mentari Therapeutics
InMed Pharmaceuticals has entered into a definitive merger agreement for an all-stock transaction with Mentari Therapeutics, a privately-held biotechnology company developing therapies for migraine prevention, Indigo Merger Sub Corp. a wholly-owned subsidiary of InMed, and Indigo Merger Sub II, a wholly-owned subsidiary of InMed. The merger brings together Mentari's differentiated migraine pipeline with InMed's public market infrastructure, positioning the combined company to expedite the development of new therapies for people living with migraine. Upon consummation of the transaction contemplated by the Agreement, the combined entity will operate as Mentari Therapeutics and trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under a new ticker symbol. The private placement will result in gross proceeds to the combined company of approximately $290M and is expected to fully fund its operations through 2028, beyond the generation of anticipated key clinical datasets from Mentari's parallel lead programs. These programs include MT-001, an anti-PACAP monoclonal antibody with Phase 2a proof-of-concept data expected in 2028, and MT-002, a potentially first-in-class bispecific antibody with Phase 1 healthy volunteer data expected in 2027.
