Global Wellness Strategies Shanti Therapeutics Updates and Symbol Change to GWS

The Shanti Therapeutics Focus on Chronic Pain Market with Psychedelics

Global Wellness Strategies Inc. (CSE: LOAN) (FSE: O3X4) (OTCQB: PNNRF) (formerly Redfund Capital Corp.) ("Global" or the "Company") changes symbol to GWS and introduces Dr. Sud Agarwal BSc, MB ChB, FANZCA, the Chairman of Cannvalate Pty Ltd. and Shanti Therapeutics. His experience and expertise in the psychedelic industry will contribute significantly to our efforts in the space moving forward.

GWS Symbol Change:

Global Wellness Strategies Inc. "Helping you Get Well Soon" is changing its ticker symbol from "LOAN" to "GWS". The Company expects the symbol change to take effect on Wednesday October 6, 2021. The change in the ticker symbol is being made to provide greater visibility with respect to the long-term strategy of the Company: providing high growth companies with financial, operational, and management assistance in the fast-growing market for global wellness. No action is required by existing shareholders with regards to the ticker symbol change.

"We are looking forward to trading under the new 'GWS' symbol on the Canadian Stock Exchange," said Meris Kott, CEO of Global Wellness Strategies. "The new symbol directly aligns with the vision of the Company and the path we foresee taking in order to continue adding significant value to our shareholders by developing and commercializing medicines with our portfolio clients."

Pain & Psychedelics:

While there has been increasing hype and capital markets interest in and research on the use of psychedelics, such as psilocybin, ketamine, LSD and MDMA (aka, ecstasy or molly), for depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other psychiatric disorders, little research has been conducted to date on the use of psychedelics for chronic pain. It is the goal of the Company to be the market leader in the management of pain with IND application to the FDA for a novel drug culminating with clinical trials and changing the landscape with new solutions to solve the pain epidemic.

Additionally, because of the urgent need for improved pharmacological approaches for the treatment of peri-operative pain, Shanti Therapeutics has already filed a patent application outlining a method for the treatment/prevention of pain, the method comprising oral administration of an effective dose of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA).

Meet the founder of Shanti Therapeutics Pty Ltd.:

Dr. Sud Agarwal is a founder and Chairman of Cannvalate Pty Ltd. based in Australia and the co-founder of Shanti Therapeutics Pty Ltd. Sud is a pioneer and a global first-mover in the novel cannabinoid space, a medical research key opinion leader and an experienced listed company executive with deep investment networks. He is also a board member and executive of a number of listed and unlisted companies.

Additionally, Dr. Agarwal is a board certified, specialist anesthesiologist with extensive research credentials in novel drug development and FDA registration. He is the primary inventor of > 20 novel cannabinoid and entheogen patents for a variety of medical illnesses.

"We are honored to work closely with Sud as a team leader at Shanti, and we look forward to his invaluable strategic advice as we continue to grow Global Wellness and enter the psychedelic industry through our definitive acquisition with Cannvalate of their subsidiary Shanti Therapeutics," remarked Global Wellness Strategies CEO, Meris Kott.

ASX Cannabis Stocks: 10 Biggest Companies

While Australia has yet to legalise all forms of cannabis, the country is a growing medical cannabis and hemp market, with many companies manufacturing, researching and exporting the plant-based product.

Medical cannabis was federally legalised in 2016, and the export of cannabis from Australia was legalised in 2018. As for recreational use, the only state to legalise recreational use and possession so far is the Australian Capital Territory, which did so in 2020, but it did not establish a regulated recreational cannabis market.

The country's medical cannabis market has been steadily expanding in size and scope. A Penington Institute report shows that Australians spent approximately AU$400 million on medicinal cannabis in the first half of 2024, 72 percent higher than the AU$234 million they spent over the entirety of 2022.
