TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / November 9, 2021 / StageZero Life Sciences (TSX:SZLS) (OTCQB:SZLSF) ("StageZero" or the "Company"), a vertically integrated healthcare company devoted to improving the early detection and management of cancer and other chronic diseases through leading edge molecular diagnostics and clinical interventions, today announced a corporate update.
As previously announced, Richard Huston has now been appointed to the StageZero Life Sciences Board of Directors. His appointment is part of the terms of the Health Clinics acquisition that closed on September 2, 2021.
"We welcome Richard to the Board and it is the first step to us expanding our number of Directors as well as diversifying skill sets and expertise" commented James Howard-Tripp, Chairman and CEO. "With a much larger, integrated company we have significantly added to the depth of the management group and now have the opportunity to do the same at Board level".
Richard has over 30 years experience in the Financial Industry and in that time has held Executive roles in Asia, Europe and the UK. He has been involved in start ups and small businesses in both the UK and the US and is currently the Managing Director of Seek Group, a pharmaceutical company and holds several related Directorships in Biotech.
The date for a Special Shareholders meeting has been set for Thursday December 9, 2021. As previously disclosed, the purpose of the meeting is for shareholders to approve whether the contingent compensation to be paid to Health Clinics is paid in shares or via a royalty.
The acquisition of Health Clinics was an all share deal, with 15M shares paid upon closing, and 8M shares to be paid should the acquired Health Clinics businesses achieve certain revenue performance milestones.
The milestones are the generation of US$4M in revenue from the AVRT program over any consecutive 12 month period from September 2021 to December 2022.
"The combination of CareOncology and StageZero Life Sciences has come together very quickly and we are operating as an integrated company" said James Howard-Tripp. "We are showing growth in TREAT, our program for critically ill cancer patients, and the introduction of Aristotle and AVRT are generating the interest we anticipated amongst patients, physicians and healthcare groups. It is an exciting time for us".
