Calgary, AB – TheNewswire - June 7, 2023 – Universal Ibogaine Inc. (TSXV:IBO) (“UI” or the “Company”), a life sciences company with a mission to deliver medicalized ibogaine-centered addiction care, advises that it will not be closing its previously announced (see News Release of March 30, 2023) agreement to sell its 20-acre undeveloped island property located in Belize (the “Property”) for USD 1,300,000 on June 15, 2023 as was scheduled.  

The Purchaser, an arms-length Belize based party, advised at completion of their due diligence period that they were not yet in a position to release the initial USD 20,000 non-refundable deposit, citing concerns with potential negative effects from the ongoing US government’s debt ceiling issue, and its potential effect on the global economy.

UI continues to work with the Purchaser, which has expressed interest in a potential extension of their offer to purchase the Property, and will provide a further update as more information becomes available.
