TORONTO, Sept. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PharmAla Biotech Holdings Inc. (“PharmAla” or the “Company”) (CSE: MDMA) (OTC:MDXXF), a biotechnology company focused on the research, development, and manufacturing of novel MDXX class molecules (including its LaNeo™ MDMA), is pleased to announce that it has filed an amended and restated preliminary short form base shelf prospectus (the “Prospectus”) to provide the Company with the flexibility to take advantage of financing opportunities and favourable market conditions, if and when needed, during the 25-month period that the Prospectus, once made final, remains effective (the “Effective Period”). A copy of the Prospectus may be obtained under the Company’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.
The Prospectus has been filed in each of the provinces and territories in Canada. The Prospectus, when final and effective, will enable the Company to offer, issue and sell, from time to time, common shares, warrants, units, subscription receipts, debt securities, or any combination of such securities (collectively, “Securities”). The Prospectus has been revised to provide additional disclosures relevant to the Company and to revise the magnitude of the offering of the Securities to up to an aggregate offering price of C$30,000,000, in one or more transactions during the Effective Period. The Company has revised the size of the offering after further refining the timing of the planned financial needs during the Effective Period.
The Company may also use the Prospectus in connection with an “at-the-market distribution” in accordance with applicable securities laws, which would permit the Securities to be sold on behalf of the Company through the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”) (or other existing trading markets) as further described in the applicable prospectus supplement. To date, no agreement has been entered into with respect to such a distribution.
PharmAla currently has no immediate plans to issue any Securities under the Prospectus at this time and may never proceed with any such issuance. Should the Company decide to offer Securities, the specific terms, including the use of proceeds, will be set forth in a prospectus supplement to the final base shelf prospectus, which will be filed with the applicable Canadian securities regulators.
Issuance of Shares for Debt Settlement
The Company also announces that its board of directors has approved the settlement of an aggregate of $150,000 of amounts owing to arm’s length creditors through the issuance of common shares in the capital of the Corporation at the deemed price per share to be determined at time of settlement.
