Lourdes Felix, CFO, COO and Director, stated, “We are extremely pleased with the terms of this funding, and appreciative of the support from these investors who conducted extensive due diligence prior to this transaction. We believe the significant investment premium over our current share price is further validation of our business strategy, product pipeline, and the growth opportunities ahead. This funding advances our goal to list on a national exchange. We have made tremendous progress this year and we believe this private placement funding, coupled with the recent NIDA grant award of nearly $5.7 million for BICX102, will allow us to accelerate our product development and growth strategy and create significant value for our shareholders.”
