Universal Ibogaine Inc.

  

Calgary, AB – TheNewswire – February 6, 2023 – Universal Ibogaine Inc. (TSXV:IBO) (“UI” or the “Company”), a life sciences company with a mission to deliver medicalized ibogaine-centered addiction care, advises that it is in process of finalizing an offering of convertible debt securities (the “Offering”).  The Offering consists of up to $5 million of “Secured Guarantee Convertible Notes” (the “Notes”) which will bear interest at 8% (payable quarterly) and have a maturity of 3 years from the Closing of the Offering.  Closing of the Offering, and the payment of any finders fees related thereto, will be subject to the required approvals of the TSX Venture Exchange.  

On a future conversion, the holder of the Notes will receive one “Unit” comprised of one UI common share and a one-half common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”).  The Notes will have a conversion price of $0.03 per common share in year 1 after Closing, $0.10 for year 2, and $0.15 for year 3, and each whole Warrant will have an escalating annual exercise price which will be $0.08 if converted in year 1 (after Closing), $0.13 if converted in year 2, and $0.18 if converted in year 3 after Closing.  

The Notes will be subordinated to the Company’s existing mortgage on the Kelburn Recovery Centre and $626,500 of similar Notes which were recently issued by the Company on closing of a prior private placement financing (see UI News Release of December 1, 2022).  A General Security Agreement will be issued as part of the planned closing(s) of the Offering by UI’s BC based 100% owned subsidiary company (which in turn owns the Company’s Kelburn Recovery Centre addiction treatment clinic near Winnipeg and a 20 acre undeveloped land project in Belize).

The proceeds from the Offering are intended to be used in completing the Company’s planned ibogaine based clinical trial application with Health Canada, including finalizing a supply agreement for ibogaine to be used in the eventual trials, and for general working capital purposes.

Nick Karos, UI CEO, noted “we are finalizing discussions with several interested parties, and completion of this Offering will aid UI in advancing to its next stage of development in our ultimate goal of having ibogaine medicalized and accepted for eventual wide-scale use in addiction treatments.”
