Monogram Orthopedics Plans NASDAQ Listing After Reg A+ Funding Round Concludes

Monogram Orthopedics

Monogram Orthopedics will conclude their Reg A+ funding round in preparation for their planned Nasdaq listing under the reserved ticker symbol “MGRM.” Monogram is working to develop patient-optimized, 3D-printed orthopedic implants enabled by robotics with advanced pre-operative imaging. Investors who wish to participate in the offering can subscribe at Monogram Orthopedics |Reg A+ Investment and hit the invest now button after reviewing the Company’s offering documents. The ability to subscribe to the offering on the Company’s site will conclude on May 10, 2023. Approximately 1.7 million patients receive knee replacement surgeries each year, but up to 20% experience chronic pain after the procedure. In addition, 40% of total knee replacement revision surgeries are caused by mechanical loosening, showing a need to improve knee implants for better fixation. Because of this, one-in-five patients report high levels of dissatisfaction after their procedure, with over a third of patients (36%) reporting they wouldn’t choose to have the procedure if they could do it again. Monogram Orthopedics plans to address these issues by 3D-printing FDA-approved implants tailored to each patient's unique anatomy. They are developing low-latency active-milling robots to make the precise cuts needed for custom implants, which aims to reduce the number of incisions and bone loss during surgery. “By 2027 50% of knee replacement surgeries will be performed robotically. Monogram is currently the only company offering FDA-approved, 3D printed, patient-specific implants that, in the future, will be inserted with active milling robots,” Benjamin Sexson, CEO of Monogram Orthopedics said. “With the coming close of our current Reg A+ funding round we are happily looking forward to our planned public listing. We imagine our investors will be just as excited as we are to one day see ‘MRGM’ scrolling on the ticker outside the NASDAQ exchange’s building in Times Square,” he added. “Having been a critical part of the Monogram development and heavily involved in building the formative technology as the Company's longest-tenured employee, I can say on behalf of myself and my colleagues that this planned listing will be a tremendous accomplishment. It has been an honor to help push this engineering effort and to have had the opportunity to play such a critical role in developing this transformative product.” Sanath Vurelli, Senior Robotics Engineer, at Monogram Orthopedics said. The company recently demonstrated a total knee replacement surgery by a surgeon operating in New York City on a cadaver patient in Austin, Texas. Their 3D-printed replacement’s patented design facilitates a bone-to-implant bond so they do not rely on bone cement. ABOUT MONOGRAM ORTHOPEDICS Monogram Orthopedics is working to develop a product solution architecture with the long-term goal to enable patient-optimized orthopedic implants at scale by linking 3D printing and robotics with advanced pre-operative imaging. The Company has a robot prototype that can autonomously execute optimized paths for high precision insertion of implants in synthetic bone specimens. Monogram intends to produce and market robotic surgical equipment and related software, orthopedic implants, tissue ablation tools, navigation consumables, and other miscellaneous instrumentation necessary for reconstructive joint replacement procedures. The Company has not yet made 510(k) premarket notification submissions or obtained 510(k) clearances for any of its robotic products. FDA approval is required to market these products, and the Company has not obtained FDA approval for any of its robotic products, and it cannot estimate the timing, or assure the ability, to obtain such clearances. Monogram Orthopedics changing the way orthopedic surgery is done. Our system combines personalized knee implants with precision robotic surgical assistants, giving patients a better-fitting knee replacement with minimally invasive surgery. 100,000 knee replacements failing each year in a $19.4B market, represents an enormous opportunity for us.

Thai Leaf aims for a breakthrough in Thailand’s healthcare industry with its high-quality CBD oil and CBD infused products.

Thai Leaf Biotechnology Co., Ltd.

BANGKOK, THAILAND - Media OutReach - 9 May 2023 - As Thailand is now the first country in ASEAN to liberalize hemp and cannabis for medical use, Thai Leaf Biotechnology Co., Ltd. has unveiled its plan to develop products with CBD extract, to address the needs of the medical and healthcare market in Thailand and ASEAN. Mr. Robert Traill and Mr.Christopher Utz from Thai Leaf Biotechnology Co., Ltd. From recent developments in the Thai market, it is understandable for consumers and the general public to have controversial issues and resistance to this important breakthrough, as they are still confused between hemp and marijuana - the two varieties within the Cannabis family. Christopher Utz, Director of Product Development at Thai Leaf explained that the clear difference is that hemp contains high levels of CBD but low levels of THC, making it safe, unlike marijuana, which has THC levels in excess of 0.2%, making it narcotic, or making one "high". Generally speaking, THC acts on the nervous system to give an intoxicating effect, while CBD has no side effects, but has numerous therapeutic and medical benefits, as well as bringing the body back to its "neutral strange". Simply put, hemp is known for health as opposed to marijuana which is used for recreational purposes. Not generally known, hemp is one of the most useful plants on Earth. Among thousand other uses, it can be used to make materials, ropes, textiles, and paper, it can be used as fuel and can also be consumed. More recently, it has been developed for nutraceutical and pharmaceutical use. Mr. Utz further emphasized the science behind the benefits of CBD discovered merely 30 years ago. The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a biological regulating system comprised of molecules called endocannabinoids naturally produced by the human body, -i.e. to help maintain homeostasis or, in other words, "balancing" your body, easing pain, sleep, mood, energy, inflammation and appetite. Cannabinoids such as CBD are found naturally within the cannabis plant and can mimic the functions of endocannabinoids and help to address any imbalance within the body. Mr. Utz looks forward to the introduction of Thai Leaf's outstanding hemp-infused nutraceutical and pharmaceutical products in 2023. All Thai Leaf products have a tremendous amount of experience and research behind them and they will have a noticeable health impact for its consumers. Robert Traill, President of Thai Leaf announced that Thai Leaf has a 3-year research collaboration with world's leading Cornell University, in the United States to develop a new tropical hemp strain for Thailand. The new strain would be able to grow with shorter day-lengths, be resistant to mold and have high CBD potency with negligible THC. With the founders' extensive background and experience in both the agricultural and pharmaceutical industry, Thai Leaf's end-game is in pharmaceutical CBD products. This background is what distinguishes Thai leaf from other producers. It has the experience of the highest production standards and combines it with expertise and know-how from the US and Canada. Mr. Traill is extremely positive about the growth of the industry in Thailand. The Thai CBD market is currently worth THB 7 billion, and forecasted to grow to THB 50 billion within the next three years. Thailand is the first country in the region to legalize hemp-derived CBD, and is in a unique and strong position to be a leader in the ASEAN region of 650 million potential consumers. Currently, due to the ambiguous stage of the laws, there may be unstandardized products that do not possess the claimed qualities and may contain undesirable compounds. Thai Leaf calls for a benchmark of standardization and traceability, which all producers need to adhere to, so that the consumer is guaranteed with the highest quality of products. The extraction and distillation of hemp biomass to produce high quality cannabinoids and CBD is an important step in providing fine quality products for the CBD industry. "There are simply no shortcuts to having good equipment and systems in place". Thai Leaf's final focus is pharmaceutical (medical) CBD. Therefore, it is essential that its factory is built to US GMP and European PIC/s standard (the highest standard for the medical industry) utilizing world-leading extraction, distillation and crystallization equipment from the US and Germany. Having Master Growers from the US and importing standard operation systems, also allows Thai Leaf to leverage decades of experience and know-how within its products. To summarize, with the right regulations in place, standards will automatically rise for all manufacturers, making it possible for Thailand to become a hub and regional leader for Hemp-derived raw materials, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical products, with high hopes that hemp becomes an economic crop for the Kingdom of Thailand. Find out more at the website https://thaileaf.com/. Media outlets requiring more information can make contact by e-mail on info@thaileaf.com Thai Leaf Biotechnology Co., Ltd. Thai Leaf is the first generation company to be licensed in Thailand for hemp derived CBD. We are vertically integrated from seed to pharmaceutical. The most valuable asset is our talented team of US experts who bring to Thailand their know-how and experience in the areas of seeds and strains, cultivation, and production.

Kadimastem and iTolerance Sign Agreement and Receive US$1 Million from BIRD Foundation

Kadimastem Ltd.

Kadimastem (TASE: KDST) announced today that it has signed a collaboration agreement with US based company iTolerance Inc. Kadimastem and iTolerance with the signing of the agreement received their 1 st milestone payment of the NIS 3.65 million (US$1 million) total grant by Israel-U.S. Binational Industrial R&D Foundation (BIRD) for their joint project to co-develop and commercialize a breakthrough and innovative regenerative technology to cure diabetes without the need for chronic immunosuppression. As part of the agreement Kadimastem will supply its advanced cell product for the treatment of diabetes called IsletRx, which is comprised of clinical-grade clusters of human pancreatic islet like cells (ILCs) with the ability to secrete insulin. IsletRx cells can detect the sugar levels in the body and produce the required amounts of insulin and glucagon, just like a healthy pancreas can, and enables the insulin dependent patient to avoid an abnormal drop in sugar level (hypoglycemia). iTolerance will provide its technology (iTOL-100) intended to enable the transplantation of allogeneic cells without tissue matching and without the need for chronic treatments that suppress the immune system of the transplant recipient (immunosuppression). This platform technology has demonstrated positive results in preclinical experiments in large animals (non-human primates), where implanted pancreatic cells were shown to act as native cells, secreting insulin in response to sugar intake, without the need for long-term immunosuppressive treatments. The funding will be used to support the joint project that combines the technologies towards clinical application of iTOL-102, an allogeneic cell product intended to utilize stem cell derived pancreatic islets which allows an inexhaustible supply of insulin-producing cells that can be transplanted without the need for chronic immunosuppressive treatments. The prestigious grant was awarded by the BIRD Foundation after examining many projects. Earning the funding is a vote of confidence in the combined scientific potential and innovation presented in the joint project of Kadimastem and iTolerance for the treatment of diabetes. The project's total budget is US$2 million (~NIS 7.35 million ), of which the grant is US$1 million (~NIS 3.65 million), and will be allocated over a period of 30 months. The BIRD Foundation's decision was made after comprehensive due diligence and a competitive evaluation process between projects from different technology fields. Top experts in the field from both the Israel Innovation Authority and from the NIST in the US examined the combined project thoroughly, including the technology underlying the development, the regulatory pathway, and the ability and feasibility to commercialize and market the product that will be developed. The BIRD Foundation, established in 1977, invests in collaborations between Israeli and American companies in various fields of technology, for the development of joint products. In addition to financial support for grants, the fund assists companies in locating potential strategic partners and creating connections between the American and Israeli industry. Kadimastem CEO Asaf Shiloni said, “We are eager to begin our collaboration with iTolerance, which has developed a unique technology for cell transplantation without the need to suppress the immune system. The combination of Kadimastem’s abilities in the field of diabetes with iTolerance’s may in the future enable diabetic patients to live without the need for insulin injections, subject of course to regulatory compliances, and I believe that we will soon be able to bring a joint product to the clinic, with the aim to improve the lives of millions of diabetics worldwide”. Dr. Anthony Japour, Chief Executive Officer of iTolerance, added “We are excited to enter this agreement with Kadimastem to evaluate the combination of their stem cell technology with our proprietary iTOL-100 technology. We believe that this collaboration has the potential to provide a much-needed, innovative cure for the patients we work to serve and drive significant value for both companies. Additionally, we are grateful to the BIRD Foundation and their continued support and funding of the work as part of this agreement.” About Kadimastem Kadimastem is a clinical stage cell therapy company, developing and manufacturing "off-the-shelf", allogeneic, proprietary cell products based on its technology platform for the expansion and differentiation of Human Embryonic Stem Cells (hESCs) into functional cells.
