Champignon Brands to Restate Financial Statements and MD&A has Prepared CSE Listing Statement

 Champignon Brands Inc. (the "Company"), (CSE: SHRM) (FWB: 496) (OTCQB: SHRMF), announced that as a result of a review by the British Columbia Securities Commission (the "Commission"), the Company has determined to withdraw and refile its condensed interim consolidated financial statements and management's discussion & analysis ("MD&A") for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2020 (the "Original Financial Statements and MD&A").

(CNW Group/Champignon Brands Inc.)

For the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2020 , the Company previously recognized intangible assets in connection with the acquisitions of Artisan Growers Ltd., Novo Formulations Ltd. and Tassili Life Sciences Corp. (the "Acquisitions") that aggregated approximately $12 million . Subsequent to the issuance of the Original Financial Statements and MD&A, management determined that the financial statements needed to be restated to correct the accounting for the Acquisitions as the assets do not meet the definition of intangible assets for the purposes of international financial reporting standards and as result will be recorded as transaction costs in the Company's statement of loss and comprehensive loss. The restated condensed interim consolidated financial statements and MD&A will reflect this change in the accounting treatment of the assets acquired in these acquisitions. The effect of the restatements does not impact the Company's cash position.

In addition, it was determined that a shareholder and contracted consultant (the Consultant") of the Company was a related party with respect to the Acquisitions.  As a result, the restated condensed interim consolidated financial statements and MD&A will include additional disclosure details with respect to related party transactions involving the Consultant.

The Company also expects to concurrently file condensed interim consolidated financial statements and related MD&A's for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and for the six months ended September 30, 2020 (the "September Interim Financial Statements and MD&A"). The September Interim Financial Statements and MD&A will reflect the acquisition of Altmed Capital Corp. ("Altmed") on April 30, 2020 (the "Transaction"). The Transaction constituted a Reverse Takeover Transaction ("RTO") of Champignon by Altmed. As a result, the fiscal year end of the Company for accounting and reporting purposes subsequent to April 30, 2020 will be Altmed's fiscal year end of March 31 .

The Company has submitted drafts of the restated condensed interim consolidated financial statements and management's discussion & analysis ("MD&A") for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2020 (the "Restated Financial Statements and MD&A") and the September Financial Statements and MD&A to the Commission for review. Until the Restated Financial Statements and MD&A are filed, the Original Financial Statements and MD&A should not be relied upon and should be considered to have been withdrawn.

CSE Listing Status/Cease Trade Orders

The Company has also today filed a draft of a new Listing Statement with the Commission and the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") for review. The Listing Statement reflects the acquisition of Altmed and the RTO.  The Company was required to file the new Listing Statement as a condition to the lifting of the existing cease trade orders issued by the Commission and prior to the Company's Common Shares being reinstated for trading on the CSE. The existing cease trade orders, issued on August 26, 2020 and October 27, 2020 , effectively provide that the Company must file:

  • a revised material change report reflecting the accounting treatment for the Altmed transaction
  • interim financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2020 ,
  • interim MD&A to June 30, 2020 , and
  • certification of interim filings for the period ended June 30,2020 .

Drafts of these filings have been submitted to the Commission for review.  The Company is working diligently with the Commission and the CSE to ensure that the revocation of the existing cease trade orders against the Company and the filing of the new Listing Statement occur as soon as possible. However, there can be no assurance as to when (if ever) the Restated Financial Statements and MD&A and the September Financial Statements and MD&A will be filed. Similarly, there can be no assurance as to when (if ever) the existing cease trade orders will be lifted, the new Listing Statement will be completed and trading in the Company's Common Shares will be reinstated on the CSE.

Champignon Brands Inc. ( https://champignonbrands.com ) is a research-driven company specializing in breakthrough ketamine treatment for depression and other mental health conditions. The Company works closely with subsidiaries including AltMed Capital Corp. ("AltMed"). The Canadian Rapid Treatment Center of Excellence is wholly owned by AltMed.

Seelos Therapeutics Announces 1-for-16 Reverse Stock Split

Seelos Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: SEEL ) ("Seelos" or the "Company"), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of therapies for central nervous system disorders and rare diseases, today announced that its Board of Directors approved a 1-for-16 reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock, to be effective as of 12: 01 a.m. Eastern Time on Friday September 27, 2024.

(PRNewsfoto/Seelos Therapeutics, Inc.)

The Company's common stock, par value $0.001 , will begin trading on a reverse stock split-adjusted basis at the opening of the market on Friday, September 27, 2024. Following the reverse stock split, the Company's common stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "SEEL" with the new CUSIP number, 81577F 406. The reverse stock split is intended for the Company to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share of common stock for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The reverse stock split was approved by the Company's Board of Directors pursuant to Section 78.207 of the Nevada Revised Statutes and was effectuated by the filing of a Certificate of Change with office of the Nevada Secretary of State.

At the effective time of the reverse split, every sixteen (16) issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock will be combined automatically into one (1) share of the Company's common stock without any change in the par value per share. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split, and any fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. The reverse stock split will reduce the number of authorized shares of the Company's common stock from 50,000,000 shares to 3,125,000 shares and the ownership percentage of each stockholder will remain unchanged other than as a result of the rounding of fractional shares. In addition, the reverse stock split will apply to the Company's common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Company's outstanding warrants and stock options, with proportionate adjustments to be made to the exercise prices thereof and under the Company's equity incentive plans, as applicable.

The reverse stock split will reduce the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company's common stock from approximately 9.2 million to approximately 581 thousand.

FDA Finds Kratom Capsules Safe, but Questions About Concentrated Forms Remain

An initial US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) study on kratom, a plant-based substance long consumed in Southeast Asia, has found that the compound appears safe when used in capsule form, even at high doses.

However, a Tuesday (September 17) Bloomberg article notes that the FDA's research did not include kratom-infused drinks or concentrates, which are more common in the US and may carry different risks.

Kratom, a botanical product derived from the leaves of Mitragyna speciosa, has been used in Southeast Asia for centuries, with users traditionally chewing the leaves for its mind-altering effects.
