Psyence BioMed Announces Exclusive U.S. Ibogaine Licence for Texas Ibogaine Research Corporation

NEW YORK, Sept. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Psyence Biomedical Ltd. (Nasdaq: PBM) (“Psyence BioMed” or the “Company”) today announced that its wholly-owned Texas subsidiary, Texas Ibogaine Research Corporation (“TIRC”), has entered into a binding term sheet with Psyence Labs Ltd. (“PsyLabs”) under which PsyLabs will grant TIRC an exclusive license, supply and wholesale distribution arrangement for PsyLabs’ pharmaceutical-grade ibogaine in the United States. The term sheet is binding on the parties and is to be superseded by a definitive agreement, which the parties have agreed to conclude on or before November 30, 2026; if a definitive agreement is not signed by that date, the term sheet will lapse.

Under the term sheet, PsyLabs will grant TIRC an exclusive license in the United States to PsyLabs’ know-how, trade secrets, cultivation, extraction and processing methods, analytical methods, specifications, standard operating procedures, batch records and technical and regulatory information relating to its pharmaceutical-grade ibogaine hydrochloride, to the extent necessary or useful to develop, manufacture and commercialize ibogaine drug candidates in the United States. PsyLabs will be TIRC’s exclusive supplier of ibogaine, and TIRC will be appointed PsyLabs’ exclusive wholesaler and distributor of that product in the United States. PsyLabs retains all rights outside the United States. In consideration, TIRC will pay PsyLabs development and regulatory milestone payments totaling up to approximately US$1.3 million for the first drug candidate, an annual exclusivity fee commencing on the first anniversary of the first FDA approval and creditable against royalties, and a low single-digit percentage royalty on net sales of each drug candidate, together with a margin-sharing arrangement on any resale of product by TIRC. TIRC’s exclusivity is conditional on TIRC sourcing all of its ibogaine requirements for the United States from PsyLabs, subject to customary supply-failure step-in rights, and is expected to be subject to minimum development or sales performance thresholds to be set out in the definitive agreement. PsyLabs, which is a significant shareholder of Psyence BioMed and in which Psyence BioMed holds an ownership interest, is licensed in its operating jurisdiction to cultivate, extract and export ibogaine and operates from an ISO 22000 and GMP-compliant production and processing facility.
