(TheNewswire)

Universal Ibogaine Inc.

Universal Ibogaine Inc. (TSXV:IBO) ("UI" or the "Company") announces that Rami Batal has been replaced as Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") of the Company and its subsidiaries.  For the present time, the Company has appointed Nick Karos as CEO, effective immediately.  Mr. Karos had recently been appointed as a Capital Markets consultant to the Company

"We are grateful for Rami's leadership and many contributions," said Chief Ian Campbell, Chair of the UI Board of Directors.  "We wish Rami all the best."

Mr. Karos is based in Los Angeles, USA, and is a seasoned financier.  His career includes senior roles with US investment banks, including serving at Piper Jaffray as head of Nasdaq Trading and Agency Services, and most recently as CEO of Private Trading Group, which has provided business development and capital raising services for several successful start-up ventures.

Mr. Karos said "I'm very excited to work with the talented partners at UI to move towards our goal of conducting clinical trials with Health Canada.  Universal Ibogaine's goal is to transform the addiction treatment model using ibogaine as the cornerstone of our new addiction treatment protocol.  Addiction is a disease that affects society like none other, and we believe our ground-breaking protocol will give patients and families a better path towards long-term recovery."

The Board of Directors will immediately begin an executive search process for selecting a new CEO.  Mr. Karos remains a short list candidate for the long term position.

About Universal Ibogaine Inc.

UI is a life sciences company, with a goal to develop a platform of addiction treatment clinics, which may eventually use ibogaine as a primary modality for the interruption and ideally cessation of addictions to primarily opioids such as oxycodone, heroin, fentanyl, as well as alcohol, cocaine, and other stimulants.

UI separately plans to clinically develop ibogaine, a natural plant substance, as an authorized addiction interruption medicine for the treatment of Opioid Use Disorder.  A Clinical Trial Application to Health Canada is being developed to undertake clinical trials in Canada, aimed at proving the safety and efficacy of the use of ibogaine for this purpose.  In the longer term, UI plans to introduce ibogaine into the addiction treatment protocols to be used in its' future facilities.

UNIVERSAL IBOGAINE PROVIDES UPDATE ON KELBURN RECOVERY CENTER OPERATIONS

UNIVERSAL IBOGAINE PROVIDES UPDATE ON KELBURN RECOVERY CENTER OPERATIONS

Universal Ibogaine Inc. (TSXV: IBO) (" UI " or the " Company ") a life sciences company with a mission to develop and deliver medicalized ibogaine-centered addiction care, advises that it has temporarily closed the Kelburn Recovery Centre (" Kelburn ") due to an on-site flooding issue.

Universal Ibogaine Update on Kelburn Operations (CNW Group/Universal Ibogaine Inc.)

Kelburn is UI's addiction treatment site operating near Winnipeg, Manitoba , and which experienced abnormally high winter snowfall conditions, resulting in high current groundwater levels arising from spring melt conditions. Kelburn is currently assessing options for continuation of in-process patient treatment, and remediation of damages, which will fall under Kelburn's property and business interruption insurance coverage, subject to policy limits. The timing for remediation and ultimate re-opening of operations at Kelburn is not determinable, but will likely require a minimum of 2 to 3 months.

Nick Karos (CEO) noted "this is of course an unfortunate unforeseen event, and our first priority is to ensure the continuity of ongoing care of our patient group. The extent of damage will hopefully be contained to a portion of the basement, and allow us to resume on-site operations in a reasonable time frame."
