Hollister Biosciences Inc. (CSE: HOLL) (OTC: HSTRF) (FRANKFURT: HOB) (the " Company ") announces that as a result of a review by the British Columbia Securities Commission, we are issuing the following press release to clarify our disclosure.

Hollister Biosciences Inc. Logo (CNW Group/Hollister Biosciences Inc.)

The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and interim MD&A of the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 ("Q3 2020 Financial Statements and MD&A) have been amended and restated in order to correct for certain disclosure deficiencies on the following items as listed below. Details of the changes are fully described in Note 20 to the amended and restated unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 ("Amended Q3 2020 Financial Statements and MD&A") as filed on SEDAR on February 25, 2021 .

Acquisitions

The Amended Q3 2020 Financial Statements and MD&A have been restated and amended to disclose the circumstances that led to the incorrect accounting treatments for the acquisitions of Labtronix, Inc and AlphaMind Brands Inc., how and from when the errors have been corrected.

Change in accounting treatment for the acquisition of Labtronix, Inc.

The Company received the preliminary independent valuation report on the fair values of the net assets acquired. As a result, and as part of these amended condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 , the Company is restating its purchase price allocation of the Venom Extracts acquisition (Note 4(a)). More specifically, the fair value of the consideration paid has been revised from $0.035 (C$0.05) per Payment Share and Earn-Out Share to $0.063 (C$0.092) per Payment Share and Earn-Out Share, resulting in total consideration increasing from $3,450,442 to $6,328,112 . The revised fair value is primarily driven by using the Company's one-month volume weighted average price to determine the consideration paid rather than the share price on the date of the acquisition, which was adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, as a result of the valuation report, the Company has recorded brand as an acquired intangible asset with a fair value of $1,149,552 and acquired intellectual property with a fair value of $1,451,062 . As a result of the increased fair value of consideration paid and additional intangible assets acquired, the fair value of acquired goodwill increased from $2,920,400 to $3,197,456

Change in accounting treatment for the acquisition of AlphaMind Brands Inc.

The Company determined that AlphaMind did not have any intangible assets (intellectual property) given the absence of proprietary formulations and other material intellectual property and accordingly revised its accounting treatment of the acquisition from an asset acquisition (as described above) to an acquisition expense. As a result of the change in accounting treatment from an asset acquisition to an acquisition expense, the excess consideration paid over net assets acquisition was recorded as an expense in the unaudited consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss, which reduced the intellectual property associated with the AlphaMind acquisition as previously reported in the Company's unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 from $535,478 to $nil.

U.S. marijuana-related activities

The September 30, 2020 interim MD&A has been amended and restated to provide the disclosure required pursuant to CSA Staff Notice 51-352 (Revised) Issuers with U.S. Marijuana-Related Activities . This information is material for readers to understand the company's U.S. marijuana operations and the related risks.

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.

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.
