TORONTO, Feb. 28, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Field Trip Health & Wellness Ltd. (TSXV: FTHW) (OTCQB: FTHWF) (the "Company" or "Field Trip"), a global leader in the delivery of psychedelic therapies, provided a business update today and reported its fiscal third quarter 2023 results for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2022. All results are reported in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise specified.
In December 2022, the Company formed an independent committee (the "IC") of the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") to assess strategic options for the Company. The formation of the IC was in response to, among other things, current unfavourable capital market conditions, which have presented a challenge for the Company in seeking additional sources of financing, ongoing fixed costs associated with the Company's brick and mortar locations and the pausing of its hybrid in-clinic/virtual Freedom Program due to regulatory changes potentially affecting the ability of the Company to operate the program. In January 2023, the IC engaged a third-party consultant to perform a review of operations and investigate alternate courses of actions including, but not limited to, further cost reductions, restructuring, the potential sublease or closure of clinic locations and settlement of lease obligations (the "Strategic Review"). The Company does not intend to comment further on the Strategic Review, unless and until the Board has approved a specific course of action or otherwise determined that further disclosure is appropriate or required by law.
