MYND Mynd Analytics, Inc.

MYnd Analytics, Inc. (Nasdaq: MYND), a predictive analytics company aimed at improving the delivery of mental health services through the combination of telemedicine and data analytics, and Emmaus Life Sciences, Inc. (“Emmaus”), a leader in sickle cell disease treatment, announced that the proposed merger and spin-off transactions were approved by their respective stockholders (96% and 99.98%, respectively, of those shareholders voting) at the special stockholder meetings held yesterday, July 9, 2019. 

Subject to the satisfaction of the other conditions to the closing of the merger, MYnd will change its name to “Emmaus Life Sciences, Inc.” Emmaus stockholders and other equity holders will receive in the merger shares of common stock of MYnd equal to 94.1% of the fully diluted shares with MYnd stockholders retaining 5.9% of the fully diluted shares. In connection with and prior to the closing of the merger, if all closing conditions are satisfied, MYnd will contribute its current business, assets and liabilities to Telymynd, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary, and spin off Telemynd by means of a pro rata dividend of one share of Telemynd’s common stock for each share of MYnd common stock held at the end of trading on July 16, 2019. The companies have set a Spin-Off Record Date of July 15, 2019 in order to comply with certain NASDAQ and DTC requirements. Those individuals who hold shares at the close of trading on July 16, 2019 will receive the Telemynd dividend. MYnd shares will trade ex-dividend on July 17, 2019, which means that persons who purchase MYnd shares on July 17, 2019 will not receive shares of Telemynd. It is expected that, assuming all remaining conditions to closing have occurred, including the listing of the securities of the merged company on the Nasdaq Capital Market, the merger will close on July 17, 2019, and that the common stock and warrants of MYnd will begin trading on July 18, 2019 under the new symbols “EMMA” and “EMMAW,” respectively.

A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners is acting as a financial advisor in connection with this transaction.
