Corporate Updates During and Subsequent to the Fourth Quarter 2021:
Appointment of Terry Zimaro as Chief Financial Officer - Mr. Zimaro is a Chartered Professional Accountant who brings over 20years of public and private company experience in a wide range of finance functions, in particular specializing in high-growth environments, within various industries including psychedelics. He has enabled companies to maximize profitability, operational efficiencies, and enterprise value. Terry is joining our team at an exciting time for the Company. His extensive financial experience, combined with his strong leadership skills will enable him to make an immediate impact on our business. As CFO, Terry is another key strategic addition to our team, and look forward to seeing his impact on the Company’s corporate strategy and growth opportunities.
Founding member of the Women in Psychedelics Network - The formation of WIP is to make a long-term impact on the psychedelic space, by bringing together a diverse group of women in this space and to be a voice for all women going forward regarding their developments, achievements and challenges. Information sharing, expertise and collaboration are a few of the many elements that the founders of WIP believe will help advocate and represent the women who are part of the psychedelic medicine industry. WIP will look to recruit healthcare representatives, scientists, and company leaders, as well as sponsorships from companies that may not be led by women but are support WIP.
Welcoming Dr. Ho as new medical director of MindScape - Since MindScape was purchased by Wellbeing on April 21, 2021, the Clinic has administered over 600 low-dose ketamine infusions to patients, which the Company views as a significant milestone. Wellbeing is in the process of evaluating the addition of complementary mental health services being provided to patients at the Clinic. The Company has also recently implemented a new marketing strategy and intends to grow the local patient base by establishing connections with mental health practitioners in the area that have recognized the potential of the off-label use of ketamine in the treatment of mood disorders. Ketamine appears to have anti-depressant and anti-suicidal effects and, according to recent studies, the possibility of ketamine treating mood disorders like bipolar is thought to be quite promising.
