BriaCell Announces Update on Previously Announced Securities Buyback Program and Participation at Upcoming Conferences

BriaCell Therapeutics Corp. (Nasdaq: BCTX, BCTXW) (TSX-V:BCT) ("BriaCell" or the "Company") a clinical-stage biotechnology company specializing in targeted immunotherapies for advanced breast cancer and other cancers, today announces the following updates:

Pursuant to the securities buyback program announced Sept. 9, 2021 , BriaCell has repurchased 202,425 common shares (the "Common Shares") and 70,246 publicly traded BCTXW warrants (the "Listed Warrants"). As announced, BriaCell may purchase through the facilities of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") or the Nasdaq Capital Market ("Nasdaq") or alternative exchanges (i) up to 1,341,515 Common Shares and (ii) up to 411,962 publicly traded BCTXW Listed Warrants in total, representing 10% of the 13,415,154 Common Shares and 10% of the 4,119,622 Listed Warrants comprising the "public float" as of September 8, 2021, over the next 12 months.

BriaCell is fully-capitalized to achieve its strategic clinical milestones. Because of this BriaCell's Board of Directors believes the best use of a portion of its excess capital at this time is to buy back its own Common Shares and Listed Warrants for cancellation. As of July 31, 2021, BriaCell's cash balance was US$57.3 million which provides the strength and flexibility to execute both the buyback program and BriaCell's growth strategy to expand into previously-announced areas of cancer immunotherapy and/or advance its current breast cancer clinical trials.

Separately, the Company announces that Dr. William V. Williams, President & CEO of BriaCell, is scheduled to present at the following virtual conferences:

  • Q4 Investor Summit: November 16 – 17, 2021

Oncology Stocks: 8 Biggest NASDAQ Companies in 2024

The wide-ranging oncology market covers every area of cancer care, from diagnosis to treatment.

Coming in only after cardiovascular disease, cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide; unsurprisingly, oncology is one of the biggest sectors in the life science space. With that in mind, biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies alike are working to develop best-in-class therapeutics for the treatment of various cancers, including lung, breast and prostate cancer.

At this point, their work is far from finished — Fortune Business Insights projects that the global oncology market will increase at a compound annual growth rate of 11.3 percent to reach US$518.25 billion in 2032.

As the global oncology market grows, investors who want exposure to companies working to treat cancer should consider taking a look at biotech and pharma companies with a focus on oncology drugs and testing.

Alzheimer’s Disease Treatment Stocks: 3 Biggest NASDAQ Companies in 2024

Alzheimer’s disease treatment stocks are focused on Alzheimer’s disease, a degenerative brain disorder that results in declining memory and thinking skills and typically affects people in their mid-60s.

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, neurons in other areas of the brain also begin to deteriorate as Alzheimer’s disease gets worse, resulting in the loss of basic human functions and overall cognitive impairment.

This condition affects more than 6.9 million people in the US alone; it’s also the most common form of dementia and is the seventh leading cause of death in America. Treatments are available to alleviate Alzheimer’s disease symptoms, but because they do not affect the underlying causes of this neurodegenerative disease, they’re only a bandaid solution.
