Press Release | 09/07/2023
San Diego, California--(Newsfile Corp. - September 7, 2023) - Skye Bioscience, Inc. (OTCQB: SKYE) ("Skye"), a pharmaceutical company developing proprietary medicines that modulate the endocannabinoid system to treat diseases with inflammatory, fibrotic, and metabolic processes, announced today that the previously announced 1-for-250 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding common stock will become effective on Friday, September 8th. Skye's common stock is expected to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on Friday, September 8th. Skye will continue to trade on the OTCQB® Market under the symbol SKYE, although the letter "D" will be temporarily appended to the ticker symbol for twenty (20) trading days following the reverse split.
As a result of the reverse stock split, each 250 pre-split shares of common stock outstanding will automatically be combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Each fractional share will be rounded up to one whole share. The new CUSIP for the common stock following the reverse stock split will be 83086J200.
Following the reverse stock split, the total number of authorized shares of common stock will be 20,000,000 and approximately 12,312,551 shares of common stock will be issued and outstanding. Each stockholder's percentage ownership interest in Skye and proportional voting power will remain virtually unchanged except for minor changes and adjustments that will result from rounding fractional shares into whole shares. The rights and privileges of the holders of shares of common stock will be substantially unaffected by the reverse stock split. Under Nevada law, because the reverse stock split was approved by the Board of Directors of Skye in accordance with NRS Section 78.207, no stockholder approval is required.
Stockholders holding their shares in book-entry form or in brokerage accounts need not take any action in connection with the reverse stock split.
About Skye Bioscience
Skye is focused on unlocking the pharmaceutical potential of the endocannabinoid system, initially through modulation of the CB1 receptor, to treat diseases with inflammatory, fibrotic, and metabolic processes. Backed by leading biotechnology venture investors, Skye's strategy leverages biologic targets with substantial human proof of mechanism for the development of first- and only-in-class therapeutics with significant clinical and commercial differentiation. SBI-100 Ophthalmic Emulsion is a CB1 agonist that is a potential treatment for glaucoma and is expected to start a Phase 2 clinical trial in Q4 2023.

NEWS: Skye Bioscience Doses Third Cohort of Phase 1 Clinical Trial of SBI-100 Ophthalmic Emulsion
https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/157499
San Diego, California--(Newsfile Corp. - March 7, 2023) - Skye Bioscience, Inc. (OTCQB: SKYE) ("Skye" or the "Company"), a pharmaceutical company developing a proprietary, synthetic cannabinoid derivative to treat glaucoma and ocular hypertension, has completed dosing of the third cohort of eight healthy participants in its Phase 1 clinical trial of its lead product candidate, SBI-100 Ophthalmic Emulsion ("OE"), a cannabinoid receptor type 1 ("CB1R") agonist administered topically onto the eye. The study's safety review committee ("SRC") provided a positive recommendation following a pre-specified review of the data from the second cohort of participants. The SRC also recommended the trial advance into the multiple ascending dose ("MAD") arm of the study. Skye has submitted to the human ethics review committee ("HREC") for approval to initiate the MAD arm.
The objective of this Phase 1, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of SBI-100 OE. Changes in intraocular pressure will also be evaluated. Approximately 48 subjects are divided into three single ascending dose ("SAD") and then three subsequent MAD cohorts, with six participants receiving drug and two participants receiving placebo in each cohort. In the third and final SAD cohort, participants administered drug received a single topical dose of SBI-100 OE at a concentration of 2.0%, compared to concentrations of 0.5% and 1.0% in the first and second SAD cohorts.
Skye's SBI-100 OE possesses a novel molecular structure and nanoemulsion formulation that were designed to enable effective topical delivery and better penetration of a CB1R agonist into ocular tissue. In preclinical studies involving three different species, the drug resulted in enhanced therapeutic efficacy and duration of response in lowering IOP, comparing favorably to the standard of care for treating glaucoma.
