Cava Healthcare Announces Non-Binding LOI to Enable Merger with MYND Life Sciences Inc.

Cava Healthcare Inc.

Vancouver, British Columbia - TheNewswire - October 27, 2023 - Cava Healthcare Inc. (“Cava”, the Company) is pleased to announce that it is entering into a non-binding letter of intent (LOI) to merge companies with MYND Life Sciences Inc. (MYND, CSE: MYND, OTC: MYNDF), a biopharmaceutical research and development company which creates innovative precision medicines for patients with relentless neurological diseases. Cava recognizes the advantages of using Mynd’s extensive scientific team to further their research. Cava has an existing business relationship with Mynd involving its patents in two areas.

The proposed merger will be preceded by independent third-party valuations of both companies. Arrangements within each company will be handled by subcommittees of unconflicted Directors from both Cava and MYND and it will require affirmative votes by the Boards of Directors of both companies.

Cava maintains a portfolio of over 40 patents and patent applications (including divisional patent filings) which can be separated into nine families: (1) Potential new methods to treat Alzheimer’s disease and related diseases, (2) Potential new methods to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease and related diseases, (3) Potential new methods to treat cancer with recombinant cytokines, (4) Potential new methods to treat cancer with cell-based therapies, (5) Potential new methods to treat cancer with small molecules, (6) Potential new methods to predict cancer outcome (prognosticators), (7) Potential new methods to screen for anti-cancer agents, (8) Potential new methods to screen for immune enhancing agents, and (9) The creation and use of synthetic curcuminoids to treat cancer.

The integration of CAVA Healthcare’s extensive portfolio of patents with MYND’s scientific expertise represents a monumental opportunity for groundbreaking advancements in medical technology. MYND’s seasoned scientific team, with their deep knowledge and innovative approach, is anticipated to be the driving force behind the evolution of these technologies. Their expertise will not only facilitate the development but also elevate these advancements to new heights, potentially revolutionizing the landscape of Alzheimer’s treatment, cancer therapies, and diagnostic methodologies for both. The potential merger between CAVA’s intellectual wealth and MYND’s scientific prowess holds the promise of transformative breakthroughs, marking a monumental stride in the fight against devastating diseases and enhancing the overall quality of healthcare on a global scale.

CAVA independent Director, Dr. Terry Pearson stated, “Having assessed MYND's intellectual property and monitored MYND’s current momentum in developing and translating new medicinal products, that has created enduring value for shareholders, we firmly believe that the merged entity distinguishes it in the biopharmaceutical sector. Under Dr. Oberg's leadership, it is exceptionally well-positioned for remarkable, near-termed success.”

MYND CEO, Dr. Lyle Oberg, MD, stated that “MYND's business strategy revolves around translating groundbreaking research methods, emphasizing scientific excellence, into safe and efficient neuro-pharmaceutical treatments and diagnostic tools for disease of the Central Nervous System (CNS) and inflammatory diseases. The acquisition of cancer patents marks a significant expansion for our scientific team, opening new avenues for commercial exploration and development. We are thrilled to establish a robust partnership with Cava Healthcare. We firmly believe that the synergy between our intellectual assets and theirs will fuel substantial and lasting growth for both MYND and CAVA shareholders.”

It is anticipated the transaction will be completed in Q1 2024.

In other news, Cava announces the resignation of Ms. Jamie Kirwin from Cava’s Board of Directors. Jamie was always a valued source of insightful advice, and she will be sorely missed. The company wishes her every success in her future endeavours.
