Exhibit 99.1

Psyence BioMed Approves a Put Option Agreement with PsyLabs to Secure Strategic Supply and Strengthen Commercialization Pathway

The Put Option Agreement positions Psyence BioMed for potential significant future equity participation in one of the world’s most advanced psychedelic pharmaceutical grade manufacturers, thereby securing predictable and reliable supply of pharmaceutical grade psychedelics, as the pathway to commercialization unfolds.

NEW YORK – February 13, 2026 – Psyence Biomedical Ltd. (Nasdaq: PBM) (“Psyence BioMed” or the “Company”), a biopharmaceutical company advancing nature-derived psilocybin and ibogaine therapies for unmet mental health needs, today announced that its board of directors has ratified the entry into a put option agreement (the “Put Option Agreement”) with PsyLabs, a leading developer and manufacturer of pharmaceutical-grade psychedelic compounds.

The Put Option Agreement grants PsyLabs the right, but not the obligation, to require the Company to make a further equity investment in PsyLabs by way of a share-for-share exchange, at an arm’s-length, fair market value, and subject to the terms and conditions set out therein. The Put Option Agreement forms part of a broader strategic and commercial relationship between the parties, including licensing arrangements pursuant to which the Company may access PsyLabs’ investigational and commercial-scale manufacturing capabilities.

PsyLabs is believed to be among the world’s most advanced manufacturers of pharmaceutical-grade psychedelic compounds, with demonstrated expertise in scalable, GMP compliant production. The Put Option Agreement provides the Company with a structured opportunity to acquire a significant equity stake in PsyLabs as its development and commercialization strategy evolves, while securing predictable, reliable, and high-quality supply of critical pharmaceutical grade psychedelics in support of future clinical and commercial programs.

The agreement reflects the strategic value delivered by PsyLabs in accelerating the development of an alternative investigational product approved by the Australian regulator for clinical trials, which significantly de-risked the Company’s clinical development pathway and mitigated supply-chain, regulatory, and execution risks. Structuring the arrangement through a put option enables the Company to preserve near-term financial flexibility in that the Company has secured strategic manufacturing access and long-term alignment without needing to deploy further significant capital upfront; thereby allowing us to preserve cash for clinical and regulatory execution as the pathway to commercialization unfolds.

Certain executives, including the Executive Chairman, the Chief Financial Officer and the General Counsel of the Company provide consulting services to PsyLabs in exchange for consulting fees. Collectively, such individuals own (directly and indirectly) less than 13% of the outstanding shares of PsyLabs in the aggregate. Certain of these individuals are also members of the board of directors of subsidiaries of PsyLabs for purposes of safeguarding the Company’s investment into the PsyLabs group. In accordance with the Company’s governance practices, the Board of Directors established a Special Committee comprised of two independent and disinterested directors to review and ratify the Put Option Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein. The Special Committee reviewed the terms of the Put Option Agreement, considered the commercial rationale for the transaction, and took into account, among other things, an independent third-party valuation of PsyLabs in reaching its determination.
