(NASDAQ: QNTM) (CSE: QNTM) (FRA: 0K91) ("Quantum BioPharma" or the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to building a portfolio of innovative assets and biotech solutions, is pleased to announce that it is completing a non-brokered private placement of class A multiple voting shares (“MVS”) at a price of $50 per MVS, for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $600 (the “Offering”). The Company expects that the entirety of the Offering will be subscribed for by the existing holders of MVS. All securities issued pursuant to the Offering are subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus a day from issuance in accordance with applicable securities laws of Canada.

(“Fortius”), a corporation of which Anthony Durkacz, a director of the Company is a director, purchased all the MVS issued pursuant to the Offering. The participation by such insiders is considered a “related-party transaction” within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”).
