Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Amendment to Merger Agreement

On July 6, 2026, InMed Pharmaceuticals Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (the “Company”), Indigo Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “First Merger Sub”), Indigo Merger Sub II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Second Merger Sub” and, together with First Merger Sub, the “Merger Subs”), and Mentari Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Mentari”), entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Amendment”), which amends the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of May 19, 2026 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, the Merger Subs, and Mentari.

A description of the Merger Agreement prior to the Amendment and the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Merger”) was previously reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 19, 2026.

The Amendment (i) clarifies the sequencing of the Contemplated Transactions (as defined in the Merger Agreement), including by providing that the Company will effect a name change to “Mentari Therapeutics, Inc.” prior to the Closing Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and will redomesticate from the Province of British Columbia to the State of Nevada on the Closing Date but prior to the filing of the certificate of merger, and will effect the Nasdaq Reverse Split (as defined in the Merger Agreement), if any, prior to the First Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement); (ii) introduces the concept of a Company PIPE Amendment (as defined in the Merger Agreement) to facilitate potential additional private placement financing of Mentari pre-closing and clarifies the impact of such additional potential financing on the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Merger Agreement); and (iii) clarifies the intended tax treatment of the Merger by, among other things, removing the contingency relating to a potential redomestication of the Company to the Cayman Islands and confirming that the First Merger and the Second Merger (as such terms are defined in the Merger Agreement), taken together, are intended to constitute an integrated transaction that qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Except as expressly modified by the Amendment, all terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement remain in full force and effect.

The foregoing summary of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 2.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On July 6, 2026, the Company and Mentari issued a joint press release announcing the entry into the Amendment, as well as the filing on July 2, 2026 of a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Form S-4”) containing a preliminary joint proxy statement/prospectus and management information circular with the SEC in connection with the proposed transaction contemplated therein.

The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference, except that the information contained on the websites referenced in the press release is not incorporated herein by reference.

The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibits 99.1, attached hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and beliefs and are subject to risks and uncertainties, including risks related to the failure to obtain shareholder approval, the failure to complete the pre-closing financing (as currently contemplated or as amended), the failure to satisfy other closing conditions, delays in obtaining or adverse outcomes related to required regulatory approvals, the possibility that the Merger Agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms, the Company’s ability to maintain listing on Nasdaq, unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from the proposed transaction, the effect of the announcement or pendency of the proposed transaction on existing and potential business relationships, operating results and business generally, and the other risks and uncertainties described in the Company’s filings with the SEC.
