Dear Valued Shareholders,
This is the news you’ve been waiting for.
Optimi Health today announced that it has entered into a $1.2 million CAD definitive supply agreement with a private entity focused on developing mushroom-based therapeutic drugs through pre-clinical research and clinical trials.
At this time, we are respecting the client’s wish to remain private and look forward to sharing more news on this exciting announcement at a future date and time.
Optimi will cultivate dried GMP psilocybin-containing biomass and extract it into a refined substance, which will be distributed to the client’s international research sites. This announcement affirms Optimi’s commitment to GMP production with capabilities to supply large scale, research and development programs.
“This is a big day for Optimi, and to be selected as the singular supply entity in the sector capable of scaling to help fulfill the needs of our client reflects our ability to deliver substantial value to the research community and our shareholders,” said Optimi CEO, Bill Ciprick.
This latest agreement has helped to fulfill the goal of Optimi Health’s Founders in making the company a true multinational participant in the research and development of psychedelic medicines.
Your ongoing support and belief in Optimi have helped us get to where we are today.
