Atai and Beckley, set to merge, reveal study success for psychedelic drug
This story was originally published on BioPharma Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily BioPharma Dive newsletter. Atai Life Sciences and Beckley Psytech are making plans to push the psychedelic drug mebufotenin into Phase 3 testing after it safely and significantly reduced symptoms of treatment-resistant depression in a Phase 2b study. Shares of Atai jumped 20% after the companies' announcement Tuesday. Atai also announced a $50 million private placement in a financing round led by Ferring Ventures and Apeiron Investment, the family office of Atai founder and Chairman Christian Angermayer. With the successful study in hand and a new infusion of cash, the companies are proceeding with plans to merge in the second half of this year. The combination, announced in June, was contingent on positive results from the Phase 2b trial. Atai had previously scooped up a 36% stake in privately held Beckley in 2024. Atai and Beckley are looking to benefit from a new openness to psychedelic drugs for the treatment of mental health conditions. Both Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Martin Makary have touted the potential benefits of the medicines for patients, while Johnson & Johnson's Spravato, a derivative of ketamine, has generated blockbuster sales. Investors so far have shown a willingness to support the research but are looking for strong results. Compass Pathways recently failed to meet that mark with a medicine that succeeded in a Phase 3 trial but nevertheless disappointed shareholders by only reducing scores on a scale used to gauge depressive symptoms by a mean difference of 3.6 points compared with placebo. Beckley's mebufotenin showed a difference of 5.3 points and 6.3 points for the two therapeutic doses it tested as compared with a low-dose group used as a control when measured at Day 29 after treatment. Wall Street was looking for a difference of at least 5 points, Jefferies analyst Andrew Tsai wrote in a note to clients. Like Spravato, mebufotenin is administered through the nose. Atai and Beckley said participants in its study generally were able to leave the clinic within 90 minutes, which would put the drug in the conventional treatment window established by Spravato. The study also found no serious side effects and no evidence of suicidal intent or behavior in patients given mebufotenin. Researchers tested an 8 milligram dose and a 12 milligram dose against an 0.3 milligram control. The larger difference in depression symptom measurement was in the 8 mg dose, though the companies said they consider efficacy equivalent between the 8 mg and 12 mg doses. They plan to advance the 8 mg dose into Phase 3 testing after consulting with regulators. The companies said improvements were seen as early as one day after treatment and generally lasted at least eight weeks. While the results need to be confirmed in a continuing open-label study of a second dose and the eventual Phase 3 trial, the data suggests Atai and Beckley may be able to offer a longer window between treatments, possibly giving their drug an advantage over rivals such as Spravato, Tsai said.

Super Copper Closes Non-Brokered Private Placement with Apeiron Investment Group
VANCOUVER, BC, May 30, 2025 /CNW/ - SUPER COPPER CORP. (CSE: CUPR) (OTCQB: CUPPF) (FSE: N60) (" Super Copper" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement of units (the " Units"), raising gross proceeds of $1,000,000 (the "Offering"). Under the Offering, the Company issued 4,000,000 Units at a price of $0.25 per Unit to Apeiron Investment Group Limited (" Apeiron"), a leading global investment firm founded by entrepreneur and investor Christian Angermayer. Each Unit is comprised of one common share and one common share purchase warrant (a " Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire an additional common share at a price of $0.30 per common share until May 29, 2028. In exchange for Apeiron providing advisory services to the Company, the Company agreed to grant Apeiron an aggregate of 4,000,000 restricted share units (" RSUs") under its equity incentive plan (the " Plan"), of which 3,000,000 RSUs were granted on closing of the Offering and 1,000,000 RSUs will be granted as soon as permitted under the terms of the Plan. To facilitate the granting of the RSUs, an aggregate of 1,200,000 outstanding options were cancelled. Following closing of the Offering and grant of the RSUs, Apeiron holds approximately 10.99% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company on an undiluted basis. The Warrants and the RSUs are subject to a restriction on exercise or conversion that prohibits Apeiron from exercising the Warrants or converting the RSUs if the number of common shares to be issued pursuant to such exercise or conversion would exceed, when aggregated with all other common shares of the Company owned by Apeiron, 19.9% of all of the common shares issued and outstanding at such time, unless the Company has obtained shareholder approval for the creation of a new 'control person', in accordance with the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange. In addition if any of the RSUs have not been settled by the date that is three years following the date of grant, and the Company has not obtained shareholder approval for the creation of Aperion as a new "control person" and if settlement of the RSUs in common shares would violate the foregoing restriction, then the Company has agreed to settle such RSUs by paying Apeiron cash equal to the fair market value of the common shares underlying such RSUs. In connection with the Offering, the Company's CEO, Zachary Dolesky and all other directors of the Company entered into voluntary lock-up agreements covering an aggregate of 5,817,360 common shares. Mr. Dolesky has agreed to lock up 5,317,360 common shares for so long as Apeiron maintains a minimum ownership stake of 10.0% in the Company (on a partially diluted basis). Additionally, subject to Apeiron maintaining a minimum ownership stake of 10.0% in the Company (on a partially diluted basis), the other directors of the Company have agreed to lock up an additional 500,000 common shares for a term of 18 months. Concurrently with the closing of the Offering, Apeiron and the Company entered into an investor rights agreement, that provides, among other things, Apeiron with certain rights in the event it maintains a minimum ownership stake of 10.0% in the Company (on a partially diluted basis), including: (i) the right to participate in equity financings; (ii) top-up rights in the event of dilutive issuances; and (iii) the right to nominate one person to the Company's board of directors. The proceeds raised from the Offering are expected to be used to accelerate the advancement of Super Copper's flagship Cordillera Cobre project in Chile and support broader business expansion initiatives, including targeted acquisitions and for general working capital purposes including marketing and investor relations.

Prior to the completion of the Offering, Apeiron did not hold any securities of the Company. Following the completion of the Offering, Apeiron holds 4,000,000 common shares, 4,000,000 Warrants, and 3,000,000 RSUs, representing approximately 10.99% of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares, on an undiluted basis, or approximately 25.35% of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares, on a partially diluted basis, subject, however, to Apeiron being precluded from exercising Warrants or converting RSUs that would result in Apeiron holding more than 19.9% of the then issued and outstanding common shares of the Company, without the Company first obtaining shareholder approval for the creation of a new 'control person', in accordance with the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange. Apeiron acquired the securities of the Company for investment purposes.
