On September 24th 2021 the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer released the following update to the shareholders of the Company
REGEN BIOPHARMA, INC.
MESSAGE TO THE SHAREHOLDERS FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
When I returned to Regen on March 23, 2021 in order to serve as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer I found myself at the helm of a company on the verge of collapse. We were behind in bills, at risk of losing patent protection on valuable IP, and delinquent in our SEC filing obligations. Worse of all we were being sued by our Contract Research Organization in a complaint seeking damages of $1,200,000 which also threatened our ownership rights to valuable intellectual property. The progress we have achieved since my return has been substantial and yet is dwarfed by what I believe can be achieved in the months to come.
PROGRESS TO DATE
Since my return the Company has:
1) Become current in its SEC filing obligations eliminating the risk that the public trading market for both the common and Series A preferred shares would disappear.
2) Paid amounts owed to essential vendors such as the Company’s patent attorney in order that important business relationships could resume unimpeded
3) Revived applications pertaining to vital intellectual property deemed abandoned by the US Patent and Trademark Office
4) Obtained financing in the net amount of $1,390,000 through the issuance of a Promissory Note which would become convertible into stock ONLY in the event the Company defaults. So long as the Company is timely in payments and otherwise complies with the terms and conditions of the Note this Note MAY NOT be converted.
5) Settled the lawsuit brought by ChemDiv, Inc., our Contract Research Organization, for the sum of $800,000 which was paid to ChemDiv on September 21, 2021.
6) Been issued several patents
7) Entered into two non-related party licensing agreement resulting in non-related party revenue of $1,905,000 being recognized in the quarter ended June 30, 2021. These licensing agreements pertain to mRNA and our checkpoint NR2F6.
SHORT TERM GOALS
During the coming months I shall endeavor to achieve the following milestones:
1) Settle all outstanding convertible notes payable in order that the Company will have no convertible instruments outstanding.
2) Hire a Chief Scientific Officer
3) Seek out and enter into alliances, co-development agreements and additional licensing agreements with regard to our proprietary mRNA and NR2F6 portfolios.
4) Obtain OTCQB listing for our securities on the OTC Market.
5) Establish a social media presence in order to more easily provide updates to our shareholders, the investment community, the scientific community and the public at large.
Thank you for your past and continued patience as we move the Company forward. I look forward to receiving shareholder input and can be reached at david.koos@regenbiopharma.com.
Sincerely,
David Koos
