VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ – Numinus Wellness Inc. (“Numinus” or the “Company”) (TSX: NUMI) (OTCQX: NUMIF), a mental health care company advancing traditional and innovative behavioral health treatments with a focus on safe, evidence-based psychedelic-assisted therapies, announced today a correction to its press release entitled issued on February 1, 2024 (the “Initial Press Release”).
The Initial Press Release incorrectly announced a sale of shares. The correct asset divested by Numinus is units of Co-Investment Feeder Fund 3, a Sub-Fund of Apeiron Feeder SICAV p.l.c. (the “Investment”) in a transfer of LP interests to another LP of the sub-Fund. The Investment was included in the Company’s acquisition of Novamind Inc. on June 10, 2022. The divestiture was made to unlock operating capital and is part of the Company’s strategic roadmap to focus on key revenue-generating initiatives and enhance operational efficiency to drive toward improved long-term performance and create stabilization in the current environment.
“We are happy to announce this divestiture as we continue to focus on our core business and drive shareholder value creation more broadly,” said Payton Nyquvest, Numinus Founder and CEO. “As our core strategy is to build the critical infrastructure that addresses the growing need for effective mental health treatments, the proceeds from the sale of this non-core asset will provide additional financial liquidity and flexibility. Our continued focus on driving growth and optimizing operations will enable us to apply these funds efficiently while the management team remains focused on achieving profitability with our continuing operations.”
