June 16, 2021 3:00 AM EDT

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 16, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Core One Labs Inc. (CSE: COOL), (OTC: CLABF), (Frankfurt: LD62, WKN: A2P8K3) (the “Company” or “Core One”) advises that in preparation of a potential listing of its common shares on the Capital Market tier of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq” or the “Exchange”), the Company is planning a share consolidation of its outstanding common share capital on the basis of eight (8) pre-Consolidation shares for every one (1) post-Consolidation share (the “Planned Consolidation”). As of the date of this news release, the Company has 114,600,611 common shares issued and outstanding. The exercise price and number of common shares issuable upon the exercise of the Company’s outstanding options and warrants would also be proportionally adjusted upon completion of the Planned Consolidation in accordance with the terms thereof. 

The Company is pursuing a Nasdaq listing to enhance its investor profile and increase value for its shareholders. The Company currently has a presence in the United States (“US”) through its recent acquisition of Ketamine Infusions Centers of Texas Inc., and believes a Nasdaq listing will allow the Company to further US business development, both in terms of attracting institutional and retail investors, as well as through possible M & A opportunities that complement the Company’s existing business divisions, with a particular focus on the advancement of the safe medical use of psychedelics for the treatment of mental health and neurological disorders.

The listing of Core One on Nasdaq will be subject to a number of regulatory requirements, including having a minimum share price of US$3.00. The registration of its common shares with the SEC and a determination by the Nasdaq that Core One has satisfied all applicable listing requirements. Subject to approval for listing, the common shares will continue to trade on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) under the ticker symbol "COOL" and in the United States on the OTC-Pink Sheets under the ticker symbol "CLABF."

Nasdaq is ranked the second-largest exchange by market capitalization worldwide behind the New York Stock Exchange. To qualify for listing on the exchange, a company must be registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, must have at least three market-makers, and must meet minimum requirements for assets, capital, public shares and shareholders.

“We are very excited about the prospect of listing the Company on a major exchange in the US. Our recent acquisitions have provided the Company with increased exposure to the growing US psychedelic market, and we feel that the strong interest in psychedelic stocks presents a real opportunity for the Company to capitalize on. We believe that listing on the Nasdaq will allow the Company to expand its shareholder base, enhance shareholder value and accelerate M & A initiatives in the US,” stated Joel Shacker CEO of the Company.

Readers are cautioned that while the Company has submitted an application for listing on Nasdaq, completion of a listing is subject to regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of applicable listing requirements. The Company expects that listing will ultimately require the consolidation of the outstanding share capital of the company to meet minimum market value requirements. There can be no assurance that a listing will be completed, and in the event a listing is completed it is contemplated that the common shares of the Company would continue to trade in Canada on the Canadian Securities Exchange. The Company has not made a final decision to proceed with the Planned Consolidation, and will issue a further news release once a decision has been made.
