Calgary, AB – November 20, 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
has made an application to the Alberta Securities Commission (as Principal Regulator) and the British
Columbia Securities Commission, to approve a temporary management case trade order (“MCTO”) under
National Policy 12-203 – Cease Trade Orders for Continuous Disclosure Defaults (“NP 12-203”), which, if
granted, will prohibit trading securities of the Company by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial
Officer of the Company until such time as the Required Filings (defined below) and all continuous disclosure
requirements have been filed by the Company, and the MCTO has been lifted. During the period in which
the MCTO is in effect, the general public will continue to be able to trade in the Company’s listed common
shares. The MCTO application has been made but there is no guarantee or assurance that the MCTO will
be granted.

The Company will be unable to file its audited consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended
July 31, 2023 (the “Financial Statements”) and the related management’s discussion and analysis and
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer certificates for this period (collectively, with the Financial
Statements, the “Required Filings”) before the filing deadline of November 29, 2023 (the “Filing
Deadline”).

The delay in the Required Annual Filings is the result of the Company’s requirement to engage a
replacement for Deloitte LLP as auditors. The Company expects to be in a position to complete the
Required Filings by mid January 2024. The MCTO, if granted, will be in effect until the Required Filings
are completed.

Until the Company completes the Required Annual Filings, the Company will comply with the alternative
information guidelines set out in NP 12-203 for issuers who have failed to comply with a specified
continuous disclosure requirement within the timelines prescribed by applicable Canadian securities laws.
The guidelines, among other things, require the Company to issue bi-weekly default status reports by way
of a news release so long as the Required Filings have not been filed.
