Revitalist Partners with Awakn Life Sciences as First Licensee in the United States to begin Redefining Treatment for Addiction, Recovery, and Relapse Prevention in the Psychedelic Space

REVITALIST LIFESTYLE AND WELLNESS LTD. ("Revitalist" or the "Company") (CSE: CALM) (OTCQB: RVLWF) (FSE: 4DO) announces it has signed a licensing partnership agreement with Awakn Life Sciences Corp. (NEO: AWKN) (OTCQB: AWKNF) (FSE: 954) (‘Awakn') to implement their KARE® protocol for those suffering from Alcohol Use Disorder seeking sustained recovery measures focused on relapse prevention.

Awakn's proprietary ketamine-assisted therapy for the treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder was developed and validated in a Phase II a/b trial, with results announced in the American Journal of Psychiatry in January 2022. The trial delivered 86% abstinence over the six-month period post treatment versus 2% pre-trial and 25% in the current standard of care.

Under the terms of the license agreement Awakn will provide access to the proprietary therapeutics and training by their Subject Matter Experts to the Revitalist providers. Revitalist will pay an annual licensing fee and revenue share for clients seeking services through Revitalist and Awakn's partnership.

The U.S. alcohol and substance addiction treatment industry is significant with 14,000+ treatment facilities in the country generating more than $30B in revenue. However, it is a poorly performing industry with 75% relapse rates typically seen in the 12 months post treatment. Awakn aims to improve performance of this industry by providing clinic operators with access to efficient and effective treatment option under license.

Revitalist CEO, Kathryn Walker states "With the evolution of the company and continued growth strategies with partners like Awakn Life Sciences, we hired Kevin Murray, Chartered Accountant (S.A.), as interim CFO to continue growth strategies in revenue alignment with the US health care system. Mr. Murray's appointment fills the vacancy created by the resignation of Paul Ciullo on July 24, 2022. Walker continues, "We greatly appreciate Paul's experience in growing the company to its current level and are excited to take it to the next level with Kevin."

Compass Pathways Announces First Quarter 2024 Financial Results and Business Highlights

COMP360 phase 3 pivotal program in treatment-resistant depression (TRD) on track for top-line COMP005 trial data in fourth quarter 2024, COMP006 trial top-line data expected mid-2025
Compass announces positive phase 2 COMP360 data in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Michael Gold to join Compass as Head of R&D

Cash position of $262.9 million at March 31, 2024
Conference call May 8 at 8:00 am ET (1:00 pm UK)

Compass Pathways plc (Nasdaq: CMPS) ("Compass"), a biotechnology company dedicated to accelerating patient access to evidence-based innovation in mental health, today reported its financial results for the first quarter 2024 and provided an update on recent business progress.

Kabir Nath, Chief Executive Officer, said, "We were pleased to see the positive results from the phase 2 PTSD study, a condition with significant unmet need and limited therapeutic options for the people who live with it. PTSD is a logical extension for COMP360 psilocybin treatment as there is significant overlap in patients living with treatment-resistant depression and PTSD. These strong data enable us to explore the optimal path forward to advance clinical development in PTSD alongside our phase 3 pivotal program in TRD, which is on track for initial data this year. We also continue to prepare for commercialization of COMP360 in TRD if approved by the FDA and have established collaborations with important mental health providers in the US to investigate models for the delivery of COMP360 psilocybin treatment at scale in diverse care settings."
