Charging Robotics is one of the few worldwide developing innovative wireless charging systems designed specifically for automated parking facilities and autonomous mobile platforms- environments where conventional cables and plug-in infrastructure cannot operate.

Vancouver, Canada, Sept. 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clearmind Medicine Inc. (NASDAQ:CMND) ("Clearmind" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biotech company focused on the discovery and development of novel, non-hallucinogenic, second generation psychedelic, neuroplastogen-derived therapeutics to solve major under-treated health problems, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement ("Agreement") to acquire a 51% stake in Charging Robotics, an intelligent EV (electric vehicles) wireless charging solutions for automated parking systems and autonomous mobile platforms company ("Charging Robotics").

Charging Robotics develops dedicated intelligent wireless charging systems designed specifically for automated parking facilities, autonomous mobile platforms, and robotaxi operations, environments where conventional cables and plug-in infrastructure cannot operate. Its proprietary technology delivers continuous charging of up to 10 kW, with smart vehicle communication and dynamic energy management that allocates power in real time. The system integrates directly into robotic parking platforms and autonomous vehicle workflows, requiring no manual connection and no traditional charging stations. The technology is designed to make EV charging a background function of smart parking and autonomous mobility, improving utilization, safety, and the end-user experience in dense urban settings.

Under the terms of the Agreement, Clearmind will acquire the majority stake of Charging Robotics for an aggregate purchase price of $2.5 million (the "Acquisition"). In addition, in connection with and as a condition to the closing of the Acquisition (the "Closing"), the Company shall extend a loan to Charging Robotics in the principal amount of $1.5 million (the "Loan"). The Loan shall bear interest at a rate of 4% per annum.

Unless earlier repaid, the outstanding principal amount of the Loan, together with accrued and unpaid interest, will become due and payable on the three-year anniversary of the Closing. If, as of that date, Charging Robotics has not generated positive cash flow from its operating and financing activities, together with available financing sources, sufficient to repay the outstanding loan amount, as reflected in its most recently completed financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS, the repayment date will automatically be extended until the first date on which Charging Robotics has generated such cash flow and available financing sources. During any extension period, the outstanding principal amount will continue to accrue interest at the rate of 4.0% per annum.

The Closing of the Acquisition is expected to occur during the week of September 7, 2026, subject to the satisfaction of certain closing conditions.
