IM Cannabis Announces up to US$1,613,000 Private Placement Offering Led by Management
THIS NEWS RELEASE IS INTENDED FOR DISTRIBUTION IN CANADA ONLY AND IS NOT INTENDED FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES
TORONTO and GLIL YAM, Israel, Oct. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — IM Cannabis Corp. (“IM Cannabis” or the “Company“) (NASDAQ: IMCC) (CSE: IMCC), a leading medical cannabis company with operations in Israel and Germany, is pleased to announce that it intends to undertake a non-brokered private placement offering of up to US$1,613,000 through the sale of approximately 625,000 units (each, an “Unit“) at a price per Unit (the “Offering Price“) calculated on the basis of the deemed price per common shares in the capital of the Company (each, a “Share“) equal to the 10-day volume weighted average price of the Shares on Canadian Securities Exchange (the “Exchange“) ending on the trading day preceding October 3, 2024.
Each Unit will be comprised of one Share and one Share purchase warrant (each, a “Warrant“). Each Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to acquire one additional Share (each, a “Warrant Share) at a price equal to a 50% premium to the Offering Price (the “Warrant Exercise Price“) at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on second anniversary of the closing date. The Offering, which is expected to close in one or more tranches, will be led by the Company’s management team, including Oren Shuster, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the board of directors (the “Board“) and Shmulik Arbel a director of the Company (together, the “Insiders“).
All securities issued under the Offering will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the closing date under applicable Canadian securities laws, in addition to such other restrictions as may apply under applicable securities laws of jurisdictions outside Canada.
The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Offering for the repayment of a loan to A.D.I. CAR ALARMS & STEREO SYSTEMS Ltd. provided to the Company’s subsidiary IMC Holdings Ltd. on October 11, 2022.
The closing of the Offering is expected to occur by November 11, 2024.
Loan Bonus
Since October 2022, the Company has borrowed from various groups more than US$8,000,000 (together, the “Loans“). As required by the lenders, Mr. Shuster has personally guaranteed the Loans. The independent members of the Board commissioned a valuation to determine the value of Mr. Shuster’s personal guarantees, which ascribes the benefit to the Company to be approximately US$560,000 (the “Benefit“). The Company and Mr. Shuster intend to enter into a settlement agreement to settle the amount of the Benefit in Shares (a “Settlement Share“) or a pre-funded Share purchase warrant (a “Pre-Funded Warrant“), at the Offering Price. Each Pre-Funded Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Settlement Share for a price of $0.00001, upon receipt of shareholder approval to allow Mr. Shuster to become a control person (as defined in the policies of the Exchange). All securities issued in consideration for the Benefit will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the closing date under applicable Canadian securities laws, in addition to such other restrictions as may apply under applicable securities laws of jurisdictions outside Canada.
This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to sell any of the securities to, or for the account or benefit of, persons in the United States or U.S. persons. The securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act“), or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold to, or for the account or benefit of, persons in the United States or to U.S. Persons unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or an exemption from such registration is available.
Options and Warrants Cancellation
Effective today, the Company has cancelled an aggregate of 32,305 options (“Options“) to purchase Shares, which were previously granted to Board members, officers, employees, advisors and consultants of the Company (each a “Participant“). Management reviewed the Company’s outstanding Options and determined that certain Options granted to such Participants, at exercise prices ranging from $6.60 to $600 per Share, no longer represented a realistic incentive to motivate such Participants.
Effective today, the Company has cancelled an aggregate of 142,784 Share purchase warrants (the “Subject Warrants“) to purchase Shares, which were previously granted to Mr. Shuster. Management reviewed the Company’s outstanding warrants and determined that the Subject Warrants at an exercise price of US$9.00 per Share, no longer represented a realistic incentive to motivate Mr. Shuster.
Option Grants
The Company has also approved the grant of 32,305 Options to certain eligible persons of the Company, at an exercise price of greater of: (i) the Warrant Exercise Price; and (ii) US$2.24 per Share, with an expiry date of two years from the date of issuance (the “Option Grants“). The Options Grants vest as follows: one third vest immediately, one third vests on the six-month anniversary and the final one third vests on the twelve-month anniversary. All securities issued under the Option Grants are subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus one day from the date of issuance, in accordance with the polices of the Exchange.
Related Party Transactions
The Company expects that each of Mr. Shuster and Mr. Arbel will be related parties as defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101“) as Mr. Shuster and Mr. Arbel will be participating in the Offering, Mr. Shuster will be settling the Benefit. The Company expects that any such resulting related party transaction will be exempt from the formal valuation requirement and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 based on the exemptions under sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the Units being purchased and securities issued to settle the Benefit will not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization. The Company expects that the closing of the Offering and the settlement of the Benefit will occur within 21 days of this announcement and that it will not file a material change report in respect of the related party transaction at least 21 days before the closing date. The Company deems this circumstance reasonable and necessary in order to complete the Offering and settlement of the Benefit in an expeditious manner.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FUTURE ORIENTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
This press release may contain future oriented financial information (“FOFI”) within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation, about prospective results of operations, financial position or cash flows, based on assumptions about future economic conditions and courses of action, which FOFI is not presented in the format of a historical balance sheet, income statement or cash flow statement.
The FOFI has been prepared by management to provide an outlook of the Company’s activities and results and has been prepared based on a number of assumptions including the assumptions discussed under the heading above entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Future Oriented Financial Information” and assumptions with respect to the costs and expenditures to be incurred by the Company, capital expenditures and operating costs, taxation rates for the Company and general and administrative expenses. Management does not have, or may not have had at the relevant date, firm commitments for all of the costs, expenditures, prices or other financial assumptions which may have been used to prepare the FOFI or assurance that such operating results will be achieved and, accordingly, the complete financial effects of all of those costs, expenditures, prices and operating results are not, or may not have been at the relevant date of the FOFI, objectively determinable.
Importantly, the FOFI contained in this press release and the documents incorporated by reference herein, are, or may be, based upon certain additional assumptions that management believes to be reasonable based on the information currently available to management, including those assumptions discussed under the heading “Disclaimer for Forward-Looking Statements” and assumptions about: (i) the future pricing for the Company’s products, (ii) the future market demand and trends within the jurisdictions in which the Company may from time to time conduct the Company’s business, and (iii) the Company continued ability to maintain its capital to fund its ongoing business development and future growth.
The FOFI or financial outlook contained in this press release do not purport to present the Company’s financial condition in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and there can be no assurance that the assumptions made in preparing the FOFI will prove accurate. The actual results of operations of the Company and the resulting financial results will likely vary from the amounts set forth in the analysis presented in any such document, and such variation may be material (including due to the occurrence of unforeseen events occurring subsequent to the preparation of the FOFI). The Company and management believe that the FOFI has been prepared on a reasonable basis, reflecting management’s best estimates and judgments as at the applicable date. However, because this information is highly subjective and subject to numerous risks including the risks discussed under the heading above entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Future Oriented Financial Information”, FOFI or financial outlook within this in this press release should not be relied on as necessarily indicative of future results.

Gedeon Richter presents analysis on cannabis usage among patients with schizophrenia: a new medical solution to a severe issue might be available
A novel psychiatric scale developed by colleagues of Gedeon Richter Plc. in collaboration with academia was also presented at the 37th ECNP conference
BUDAPEST, Hungary, Sept. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — During the 37th Annual Meeting of the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ECNP), held between 21-24 September 2024, new analyses of cariprazine studies were presented by Gedeon Richter Plc. First of all, cariprazine seems to be an effective treatment option for patients with schizophrenia and comorbid cannabis use disorder, according to one of the five posters presented at the congress. Furthermore, during an industry sponsored session, a new transdiagnostic scale for quantifying and visualizing symptom severity of patients with different psychiatric conditions was also presented, that was developed by the medical team of Gedeon Richter Plc. and recognized professors.
Schizophrenia often co-occurs with cannabis use disorder however, available antipsychotic treatments frequently fail to address both disorders. In a scientific poster showcased by Gedeon Richter at ECNP in Milan, cariprazine was presented to be a potentially effective treatment option for patients with first-episode schizophrenia and comorbid cannabis use disorder according to the results of a 6-month observational study. Four other scientific posters were also presented at the congress by Gedeon Richter about the role of cariprazine in the treatment of schizophrenia such as the efficacy of cariprazine in patients who develop akathisia as a side effect or the impact of functioning on the risk of relapse in patients treated with cariprazine vs placebo. Cariprazine is a 3rd generation antipsychotic medication with a unique receptor profile and proven efficacy in schizophrenia, including negative symptoms.
Lacking biomarkers in psychiatry calls for valid and reliable assessments of psychopathology across mental disorders that are easy to use, bridge research and clinical care, and that can capture clinician and patient perspectives. Recognizing this problem, the Gedeon Richter medical team together with experienced psychiatric professors developed a scale to handle this challenge. Using this new transdiagnostic scale called the Transdiagnostic Global Impression – Psychopathology (TGI-P) scale could help CNS professionals and psychologists to quickly assess and visualize symptoms in several psychiatric conditions. During an industry sponsored session, the details and the usability of the tool were shown to the audience.
