InMed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (INM) Granted Nasdaq Exception to Implement Share Consolidation

InMed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: INM) ("InMed" or the "Company"), a pharmaceutical company focused on developing a pipeline of proprietary small molecule drug candidates for diseases with high unmet medical needs, today announced the decision by the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the "Panel") to grant an exception until December 2, 2024, to implement a share consolidation to satisfy the Nasdaq Listing Rules.

As previously reported by InMed on its current report on Form 8-K, on September 17, 2024, the Listing Qualifications Department (the "Nasdaq Staff") of the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") issued a determination to the Company, which was communicated through a delisting notice (the "Delisting Notice"), indicating that the Company did not satisfy the minimum $1.00 bid price per share requirement for the continued listing on Nasdaq, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Minimum Bid Price Rule") by September 16, 2024. The Company subsequently requested a hearing (the "Hearing") before the Panel to appeal the determination by the Nasdaq Staff, and present its plan to regain and sustain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule.

On October 31, 2024, a hearing (the "Hearing") was held before the Panel regarding the Company's request for (i) continued listing on Nasdaq and (ii) additional time to regain compliance with the minimum $1.00 bid price per share requirement, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Minimum Bid Price Rule"). During the Hearing, InMed presented an overview of its current and ongoing strategic initiatives aimed at enhancing shareholder value and regaining compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. On November 1, 2024, the Panel issued its determination (the "Panel Determination Letter") to the Company, granting the Company's request for the continued listing of the Company's common shares, no par value, on Nasdaq, but subject to the Company's evidencing compliance with (i) the Minimum Bid Price Rule for ten consecutive trading days as of December 2, 2024 (the "Requisite Compliance Date"), and (ii) other conditions stipulated by the Panel Determination Letter.

The Company's Board of Directors approved a proposal on October 29, 2024 to consolidate all of its issued and outstanding common shares, no par value (the "Common Shares"), on the basis of one (1) post‐consolidation share for each twenty (20) pre‐consolidation Common Shares (the "Consolidation") in order to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule.

Once deemed effective, the Consolidation will result in the number of issued and outstanding Common Shares being reduced from 14,361,550 to approximately 718,078 Common Shares on a non-diluted basis, and each of the Company's shareholders will hold the same overall percentage of Common Shares outstanding immediately after the Consolidation as such shareholder held immediately prior to the Consolidation.

The exercise price and number of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options, warrants or other convertible securities will be proportionately adjusted to reflect the Consolidation in accordance with the terms of such securities. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Consolidation. The Company's trading symbol "INM" will remain unchanged, while the Common Shares will begin trading with a new CUSIP and ISIN number.

Registered shareholders holding physical share certificates will receive by mail a letter of transmittal advising of the Consolidation and containing transmittal instructions. Holders of Common Shares who hold uncertificated Common Shares (i.e., Common Shares held in book-entry form and not represented by a physical share certificate), either as registered holders or beneficial owners, will have their existing book-entry account(s) electronically adjusted by the Company's transfer agent or, for beneficial shareholders, by their brokerage firms, banks, trusts or other nominees that hold in "street name" for their benefit. Such holders do not need to take any additional actions to exchange their pre-Consolidation Common Shares for post-Consolidation Common Shares.

The Company is working diligently and taking definitive steps to consummate the Consolidation and regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule by the Requisite Compliance Date; however, there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule by the Requisite Compliance Date, if at all.
