Psyched Wellness Ltd. (CSE: PSYC) (OTCQB: PSYCF) reported that it closed the initial tranche of its previously announced non-brokered private placement. The company has issued 9,585,000 units  at a price of C$0.07 per Unit for gross proceeds of US$500,000, approximately C$670,950.

In connection with closing the Initial Tranche, Psyched Wellness, Gotham Green Fund III, L.P. and Gotham Green Fund III (Q), L.P.  entered into an investor rights agreement dated June 12, 2023, which replaces the Term Sheet. The agreement states that Gotham will have the right to designate one director to become a member of the Board and for now that person is Harrison Aaron. If tranche two closes, Gotham will get to add two more board members.

Two weeks ago Aaron said, “Psyched Wellness’s work over the past four years has been ground-breaking, with the Company developing its proprietary extract of the federally legal Amanita Muscaria mushroom, AME-1, and proving its safety for human consumption through extensive studies and United States GRAS certification. With this proposed investment, we would aim to fund and facilitate the nationwide rollout of mainstream consumer products centered around AME-1, and we look forward to working closely with the company.”

Psyched also noted that it has entered into new employment agreements with Chief Executive Officer, Jeffrey Stevens and Chief Operating Officer, David Shisel.

Stevens said, “Management and the board of directors are thrilled to share this announcement with our investors. Attracting this prospective majority investment from Gotham Green Partners is a clear validation of what we’ve accomplished to date in pioneering a legal path to market for products derived from the Amanita Muscaria mushroom. We believe that the closing of this strategic investment would ensure the Company is able to capitalize upon its first-mover advantage and fund its next stages of growth, with the scale of the proposed US$7,500,000 (approximately C$10,217,250) capital infusion demonstrating the scope of the opportunity both parties see for AME-1 and other Amanita Muscaria products within the mainstream consumer packaged goods space.”
