BayMedica merger expected to close within weeks

InMed has recently announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire BayMedica, a private US-based company that is focusing on the manufacture and commercialization of rare cannabinoids. The combined company will have multiple tools to produce rare cannabinoids at meaningful yields and at attractive costs and will have a growing commercial product. The acquisition is expected to close in the coming weeks.

INM-088 progressing

With regards to INM-088 for glaucoma, the company has continued to set up a larger scale drug manufacturing process. The product produced from the larger scale will be used to support the upcoming good laboratory process (GLP) studies. which are expected to commence mid-CY22. An IND filing may occur in H2 CY22.

755-201-EB trial to enroll patients in seven countries

The company expects to begin the 755-201-EB trial in the coming weeks. Clinical Trial Applications have been filed in all seven participating countries: Germany, France, Italy, Austria, Greece, Israel and Serbia.

Valuation: US$293m or US$24.24 per basic share

We have increased our valuation from US$242m or US$20.03 per basic share to US$293m or US$24.24 per basic share. With INM-755 set to move into Phase II shortly, we have increased its probability of success from 10% to 20%, our standard rate for a drug at this stage of development. InMed had US$7.4m in cash and marketable securities at 30 June 2021 and subsequently (in July 2021) raised approximately US$12m in gross proceeds (US$11m net) from a private placement. We currently model an additional US$11m being raised in FY23, though the exact level of funding requirement will depend on the expense level for the combined companies. We will update our financial model once the acquisition closes and we have some clarity on cash needs.

Clinical update

As expected, InMed anticipates commencing enrolment in its Phase II for INM-755 in EB patients in the coming weeks. The trial will enroll up to 20 EB patients and have a treatment duration of 28 days. Patients with all four subtypes of inherited EB, EB Simplex, Dystrophic EB, Junctional EB and Kindler syndrome, will be eligible for the trial. The study will use a within-patient, double-blind design whereby matched index areas will be randomized to be treated with either INM-755 or a vehicle cream. Current expectations are for the trial to complete enrollment in approximately a year. Clinical Trial Applications have been filed in all seven participating countries: Germany, France, Italy, Austria, Greece, Israel and Serbia.

InMed previously announced the results of both its Phase I trials, 755-101-HV and 755-102-HV. Trial 755-101-HV studied the systemic and local safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of two dosage strengths of INM-755 cream in 22 healthy adult volunteers. Importantly, there were no systemic or serious side effects. Systemic exposure of the drug was very low and no systemic adverse effects were caused by exposure to INM-755, which is important in a topical therapy, especially a cannabinoid. Similar results were seen in trial 755-102-HV, which studied the impact of INM-755 in eight healthy volunteers with small wounds. No systemic adverse events were reported. Importantly, the INM-755 creams did not introduce any delay in wound healing.

With regards to INM-088 for glaucoma, the company has continued to set up a larger-scale drug manufacturing process (combining cannabinol (CBN) and the MiDrops delivery technology from EyeCRO). The product produced from the larger scale will be used to support the upcoming good laboratory process (GLP) studies, which are expected to commence mid-CY22. An IND may be filed in H2 of CY22 though the company will update this estimate as it progresses through the remaining preclinical program. Of note, the company recently disclosed in vivo animal data for INM-088 at the H.C. Wainwright Ophthalmology Virtual Conference, which indicated a significant lowering of intraocular pressure (IOP) at days 7 and 17 compared to the vehicle treated group. These data have been submitted to a peer-reviewed journal.

Valuation

We have increased our valuation from US$242m or US$20.03 per basic share to US$293m or US$24.24 per basic share. With INM-755 set to move into Phase II shortly, we have increased its probability of success from 10% to 20%, our standard rate for a drug at this stage of development.

Financials

InMed reported a net loss of US$10.2m in FY21 (the period ending 30 June 2021), up from US$8.9m in FY20 mainly due to higher SG&A expenses (US$4.5m in FY21 vs US$3.2m in FY20). We have made some changes to our financial model for FY22, increasing R&D expenses by US$1.7m and increasing SG&A by US$0.2m. We have also introduced FY23 estimates, which feature slightly higher SG&A spending and somewhat lower R&D spending (as the Phase II is expected to conclude in FY22), as well as higher net financial expense, resulting in an expected net loss of US$11.4m in FY23 compared to our expected net loss of $13.0m in FY22. Note that these estimates do not include BayMedica. We will update our model once the acquisition closes and we have a better sense of revenue and expenses going forward.

InMed had US$7.4m in cash and marketable securities at 30 June 2021 and subsequently (in July 2021) raised approximately US$12m in gross proceeds (US$11m net) from a private placement. We currently model an additional US$11m being raised in FY23, though the exact level of funding requirement will depend on the expense level for the combined companies (InMed plus BayMedica).

As a reminder, InMed is acquiring BayMedica in an all-stock transaction in which InMed will issue 1.78m shares to BayMedica’s equity and convertible debt holders. At the current stock price, this values BayMedica at approximately US$3m. This may be reduced in the event that BayMedica’s net liabilities exceed a certain negotiated threshold at the closing of the transaction. BayMedica’s equity and debt holders will also receive Series A warrants to purchase up to 800,000 shares with an exercise price equal to 125% of the 20-day volume-weighted average closing price of InMed shares prior to the third business day before the closing of the proposed transaction (the ‘Deal Price’) and Series B warrants to acquire up to 800,000 common shares of InMed priced at 200% of the ‘Deal Price’.
