Details Why MindMed’s Ideally Qualified
Nominees Are the Right Choice to Oversee the Company’s Strategic
Execution as it Approaches First Clinical Data Readouts Later this
Year
Urges Shareholders to Protect Their Investments
and Vote on the WHITE Universal
Proxy Card for ALL SIX of the
Board’s Nominees
Mind Medicine (MindMed) Inc. (NASDAQ: MNMD), (NEO: MMED), (the
“Company” or “MindMed”) today announced that it has released an
investor presentation in connection with its 2023 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders. The presentation details how under the guidance of
MindMed’s world-class Board of Directors the Company is executing
against a well-defined plan to create value – with two Phase 2
clinical readouts for lead product candidate MM-120 (LSD
D-tartrate) expected in late 2023. MindMed urges all shareholders
to vote "FOR" the Company's six highly qualified director nominees
using the WHITE universal proxy
card at the upcoming Annual Meeting, scheduled for June 15,
2023.

The presentation is available at www.ProtectMindMed.com or on
the investor relations section of the Company’s website.
Robert Barrow, Chief Executive Officer and Director of MindMed,
stated: “MindMed is at a pivotal inflection point. As we approach
our first clinical trial readouts, we are well-positioned to
address multiple areas of unmet need for patients and to generate
value for our shareholders. All six of our director nominees are
proven – with significant experience serving on public company
boards and in executive roles in the healthcare industry. If our
nominees are elected, our Board will also be 100% refreshed since
mid-2021. Most importantly, this group has the right expertise in
the areas critical to MindMed’s success: drug development and
commercialization; financial management and capital allocation; and
corporate governance and compliance.
FCM’s proposals for the Company lack credibility, are based on
faulty assumptions and spreadsheet math, and would expose
shareholders to significant risk. Electing any of FCM’s candidates
could derail our progress at the worst possible time. FCM’s
candidates simply do not possess the right experience or
backgrounds – especially in comparison to MindMed’s nominees.
In our view, the choice for shareholders is clear. We encourage
you to protect your investment in MindMed by voting for all six of
the Company’s nominees on the WHITE card today.”

FOR MORE INFORMATION
Due to new U.S. federal rules requiring us
to list FCM’s nominees in addition to the Board’s nominees, your
WHITE proxy card this year has more
names on it than the six directors to be elected. The inclusion of
FCM’s nominees on our WHITE proxy card
does NOT mean the Board endorses them.
Vote TODAY on the WHITE proxy card FOR all six of the Board’s
nominees, WITHHOLD on FCM’s nominees and FOR the other proposals
recommended by your Board.
You can help reject FCM’s efforts to take
control of the Board by discarding any blue proxy cards and
materials you may receive from FCM.
Shareholders will receive proxy materials
directly via the preferred method, hard copy or email, specific to
each shareholder’s account. If you have any questions, or need

Cautionary Notes and Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this press release related to the Company
constitute “forward-looking information” within the meaning of
applicable securities laws and are prospective in nature.
Forward-looking information is not based on historical facts, but
rather on current expectations and projections about future events
and are therefore subject to risks and uncertainties which could
cause actual results to differ materially from the future results
expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These
statements generally can be identified by the use of
forward-looking words such as “will”, “may”, “should”, “could”,
“intend”, “estimate”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “expect”, “believe”,
“potential” or “continue”, or the negative thereof or similar
variations. Undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking
information, which are inherently uncertain, are based on estimates
and assumptions, and are subject to known and unknown risks and
uncertainties (both general and specific) that contribute to the
possibility that the future events or circumstances contemplated by
the forward-looking statements will not occur. There can be no
assurance that the plans, intentions or expectations upon which
forward-looking statements are based will in fact be realized.
Forward-looking information in this press release includes, but is
not limited to, statements regarding the potential benefits and
development of the Company’s product candidates, trials, studies
and programs; the strengths and benefits of the Company’s strategic
plan; the Company’s business plans and objectives; the ability of
MindMed to achieve success consistent with management’s
expectations; and the expected impact and results of the Company’s
corporate governance practices, including of the Company’s director
nominees.
Forward-looking information is based on the opinions and
estimates of management of the Company at the date the statements
are made, as well as a number of assumptions made by, and
information currently available to, the Company concerning, among
other things, anticipated performance of its product candidates and
programs, business prospects, strategies, regulatory developments,
the development of its product candidates into effective products,
the ability to produce products if approved, the approval by
regulators of any products that are developed, and the
non-occurrence of the risks and uncertainties outlined below or
other significant events occurring outside of MindMed’s normal
course of business. Although management of the Company considers
these assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently
available to it, they may prove to be incorrect.
There are numerous risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results and the Company’s plans and objectives to differ
materially from those expressed in the forward-looking information,
including history of negative cash flows; limited operating
history; incurrence of future losses; availability of additional
capital; changes in market conditions; lack of product revenue;
compliance with laws and regulations; changes in government policy;
difficulty associated with research and development; risks
associated with clinical trials or studies; heightened regulatory
scrutiny; early stage product development; clinical trial risks;
regulatory approval processes; novelty of the psychedelic inspired
medicines industry; as well as those risk factors discussed or
referred to herein and the risks described in the Company’s Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and
the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter
