Psyence Biomedical ( (PBM) ) just unveiled an update.

On February 9, 2026, Psyence Biomedical’s subsidiary Psyence Biomed II Corp. extended a US$251,110 short-term, interest-bearing loan to Israel’s Curiosum Ltd. to finance the purchase of 50,220 Psyence shares from the KAOS Group under a previously announced settlement, with repayment tied to Curiosum’s sale of Psyence’s Nasdaq-listed common stock. The loan, which matures three months from signing and is not being forgiven, formalizes a commercial financing arrangement around the settlement and ensures the company retains a legally enforceable claim on the funds.

On February 25, 2026, the company completed a US$5 million share-for-share exchange with PsyLabs, issuing 1,146,159 new Psyence common shares in return for 2,900 PsyLabs shares, leaving PsyLabs with about 49.98% of Psyence’s outstanding stock and further aligning the two controlled-substance businesses. Governance was also reshaped on February 20, 2026, with the resignation of director Seth Feuerstein and the appointment of South Africa-based industry veteran Sashank Pillay to the board and key committees, a move aimed at reinforcing independent oversight and operational expertise as Psyence tightens its strategic partnership with PsyLabs.
