DENVER, Aug. 25, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mydecine Innovations Group Inc. (CSE:MYCO) (OTC:MYCOF) (FSE:0NFA) ("Mydecine" or the "Company"), today announced that it has engaged with certain shareholders to enter into voluntary lock-up agreements (the “Lock-up Agreements”) applying resale restrictions on up to 52,908,420 common shares (the “Restricted Shares”) extending the period of time before the shares become free trading. The Restricted Shares were issued pursuant to the Company’s non-brokered private placement closed in May 2020, and are set to become free trading upon expiry of the applicable statutory hold period.
The voluntary Lock-up Agreements stipulate that those shareholders will not offer to sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Restricted Shares, or enter into any transaction to such effect, directly or indirectly, in addition to other restrictions, for a period of 120 days following the date that the original resale restriction was to lapse.

"We have a vision of consistent and sustained growth, and this lock-up arrangement further shows our existing shareholders' confidence in our ability to execute on that vision and strategy."
