GENEVA, SWITZERLAND / ACCESSWIRE / June 17, 2022 / RELIEF THERAPEUTICS Holding SA (SIX:RLF)(OTCQB:RLFTF)(OTCQB:RLFTY) ("Relief"), announced today that it has filed Amendment No. 3 to its Registration Statement on Form 20‑F ("Registration Statement") with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Registration Statement is intended to register Relief as a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Registration Statement has been filed as part of an ongoing program to convert Relief's Level 1 American Depositary Receipt ("ADR") program in the United States to a Level 2 ADR program, and is part of Relief's ongoing efforts to list its ADRs on the NASDAQ Stock Market. The NASDAQ listing will only occur after the Registration Statement has become effective, which is subject to a continuing review of the Registration Statement by the SEC, and the filing by Relief of a listing application with the NASDAQ (which has not yet occurred). There can be no assurance that the Registration Statement will become effective or that Relief will be successful in its efforts to list its ADRs to the NASDAQ Stock Market.

The filing of the Registration Statement is not part of an offering of securities. Therefore, Relief will receive no proceeds from its current ADR program.
