NEW YORK, May 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Q BioMed Inc.

Denis Corin, Q BioMed CEO said, "Obviously this is a very impactful investment for Q BioMed. Not only does it come from an insider, but it is the largest single investment we have ever had.

This funding also gives us the ability to advance our therapeutic development and pipeline opportunities and reduce the financing risk that typically overhangs small cap biotech companies with 18 months of cash before taking into account the income that we expect from our Strontium89 revenues. Further, we will be in a position to extinguish all remaining debt and convert all outstanding preferred shares, thereby increasing our shareholder equity and positioning the company for an uplisting. Strategically, we also expect to review our pipeline, specifically with regards to adding one or more late-stage assets through acquisition or licensing."
Geoff Fatzinger, Founder & Chairman of AedesiusOne said, "I have tremendous respect for Denis and the QBioMed team, and we all believe in making a difference in the world of healthcare in a disruptive way. I found us to be aligned in our goals, in business, and in our views on life generally. AedesiusOne is aggregating several healthcare businesses under its umbrella. AedesiusOne was founded to be a platform to launch positive and needed disruption in many markets, with healthcare and medicine being one of the cornerstones. Having spent the last 30 years in this space and playing a part in the development and commercialization of hundreds of drugs and devices worldwide, I believe investing in and working with Q BioMed long-term is a great way to help accelerate the development of key therapies that are much needed and neglected in the pharma and medical technology space, while investing in an extremely under-valued asset."
