Moolec Has Received USDA Approval for the First Genetically Modified Pea in History ACN Newswire

Moolec Has Received USDA Approval for the First Genetically Modified Pea in History

Luxembourg, Oct 16, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Moolec Science SA (NASDAQ:MLEC) ("the Company"), a leader in Molecular Farming technology, announced today that the U.S. Department of Agriculture's ("USDA") Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service ("APHIS") has completed its Regulatory Status Review ("RSR") for the Company's genetically engineered ("GE") peas which produce iron through bovine meat proteins. This is the third regulatory clearance from USDA-APHIS achieved by Moolec in an 18-month window, alongside its genetically engineered safflower and soybean for GLASO™ and Piggy Sooy™ products, respectively. Access the official USDA-APHIS publication here."With USDA approval for our GE pea, Moolec has now secured regulatory clearance for all of our key crops in the US: safflower, soybean, and pea," said Gastón Paladini, CEO and Co-Founder of Moolec. "We are proud to be the only Molecular Farming company with three US regulatory approvals and a major commercial contract. This milestone underscores our leadership in the landscape with tangible, science-backed results."Moolec's genetically engineered peas produce high yields of bovine myoglobin, a protein that boosts iron content, making it an ideal alternative for consumers seeking plant-based sources of iron. This product has the potential to revolutionize both the food ingredient market and the $65 billion pea industry by offering a nutritious, iron-rich alternative to traditional meat products.Amit Dhingra, Chief Science Officer for the Company, stated, "The USDA-APHIS Regulatory Status Review for pea marks a significant milestone for Moolec. As the first review for GE pea, it represents a historic development. It validates Moolec's strategic approach and exemplifies our commitment advancing sustainable food production through science and innovation. This approval is a critical step toward enhancing global food supply and meeting the growing demand for innovative, nutritious food solutions for the world."This approval not only showcases Moolec's innovation in Molecular Farming but also highlights the company's commitment to meeting the highest regulatory and safety standards. Moolec has also developed an Identity Preservation Program to ensure sustainable farming practices, promote stewardship for its crops and product quality for partners, clients and consumers alike.According to USDA-APHIS regulation found at 7 CFR part 340, developers may submit a request for a RSR when they believe a GE plant is not subject to the regulation. APHIS reviews the GE plant and considers whether it might pose an increased plant pest risk compared to its non-GE comparator. If APHIS does not identify a greater pest risk relative to the comparator, the GE plant is not subject to this regulation. Regulation 7 CFR part 340 governs the importation, interstate movement, and the environmental release of certain organisms that have been modified or produced by genetic engineering.The USDA-APHIS review process is a critical component of ensuring that genetically engineered crops can be grown safely, and this approval opens the floor for expanded field trials, seed scaling, and eventual commercialization. With increasing interest in science-based ingredients, this approval positions the company to lead a new wave of innovation in the food and agriculture sectors.About Moolec Science SAMoolec is a science-based ingredient company leader in the use of Molecular Farming technology for food and dietary supplementation markets. The Company's mission is to create unique food ingredients by engineering plants with animal protein genes.

Everest Medicines’ Stock Price Rises by 20% as Profit Potential Drives Valuation Recovery

HONG KONG, Oct 18, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Everest Medicines (1952.HK) closed today with a 20.46% increase, hitting a high of HKD 28.6. The company's stock price has been steadily rising since the release of its interim results, with today's trading volume reaching HKD 291 million. Market updates show that BOCOM International released a report assigning an 'outperform' rating to the Chinese pharmaceutical sector, with Everest Medicines being one of the key recommended stocks.Recently, the Hong Kong government released a policy address with numerous measures aimed at attracting overseas capital to Hong Kong, which has been a positive driver for the Hong Kong stock market. Additionally, negative sentiment in the innovative drug sector is gradually fading, and the market is now focusing on companies with profit potential and valuation recovery resilience.According to Everest Medicines' 2024 interim financial report, the company saw a significant revenue increase in the first half of the year, reaching RMB 302 million, representing a 158% growth compared to the second half of last year, marking the first time the company has achieved commercial profitability. The company's core products, Nefecon® and XERAVA® (the world's first-in-class fluorocycline antibiotic), have already been commercialized, with three products expected to be launched by the end of the year. In terms of innovative research and development, Everest Medicines owns an mRNA platform with full intellectual property rights and global benefits, dedicated to developing both preventive and therapeutic mRNA products. The company expects to achieve full-year sales of RMB 700 million by 2024 and aims to break even by the end of 2025.As BOCOM International released a report, it highlighted that innovative drug companies with abundant short-term catalysts, strong profit growth potential, or clear break-even timelines, along with significant valuation recovery potential, are worth close attention. Investors are also advised to focus on small and mid-sized innovative pharmaceutical companies whose market value diverges significantly from their fundamentals. These companies are expected to experience a strong rebound as liquidity improves.Over the past two months, Everest Medicines' stock has risen by over 65%. Recently, the unexpected adjustments in domestic monetary policy further energized capital markets. The continuous rise in both Hong Kong and mainland Chinese stock markets highlights the innovative drug sector as a key area of focus, given its long-term valuation bottoming and significant growth potential, making it a highly attractive investment in this market rally.

China Medical System: First Ruxolitinib Cream’s Prescriptions for Vitiligo Issued in the Greater Bay Area

SHENZHEN, CHINA, Oct 18, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - China Medical System Holdings Limited (the “Group” or “CMS”) is pleased to announce that on 18 October, the first batch of prescriptions of ruxolitinib phosphate cream (the “ruxolitinib cream” or the “Product”) for qualified vitiligo patients were issued in the Greater Bay Area, at Zhongshan Chen Xinghai Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, Foshan Fosun Chancheng Hospital, and Dongguan Songshan Lake Tungwah Hospital. The Product’s new drug application (NDA) was approved by the Pharmaceutical Administration Bureau (ISAF) of Macau on 11 April 2024, and subsequently the Product was approved by the Guangdong Provincial Medical Products Administration on August 19 through the "Hong Kong and Macau Medicine and Equipment Connect" policy, which officially introduced ruxolitinib cream for the treatment of non-segmental vitiligo with facial involvement in adults and adolescents from 12 years of age, providing a novel treatment option for patients with relevant indication into designated medical institutions in the Mainland of Greater Bay Area.In addition, on 24 September, the NDA for vitiligo indication of ruxolitinib cream has been accepted by the National Medical Products Administration of China (NMPA). In accordance with the relevant regulations of the drug real-world data application pilot program in the Hainan Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone (the “Pilot Zone”), CMS has conducted a real-world study on ruxolitinib cream in China. The results have shown positive efficacy, which is consistent with the key outcomes of global pivotal clinical studies. All secondary efficacy endpoints showed a trend of benefit consistent with the primary efficacy endpoint, and the treatment effect for vitiligo continued to improve with longer treatment duration. Meanwhile, through the safety monitoring data of the Pilot Zone, no new safety events have been identified. Adverse events mostly had severity levels of grade 1 or 2. No adverse event (AE) leading to discontinuation or withdrawal, and no serious adverse event (SAE) related to the study drug occurred.If the Product is successfully approved for marketing in Mainland China, it will be the first prescription drug approved by NMPA for repigmentation in vitiligo, bringing this novel treatment hopes for Chinese vitiligo patients.Furthermore, on 12 August 2023, the Product was approved by Hainan Medical Products Administration for Urgent Clinical Import, and officially became available to applicable patients in the Pilot Zone on August 18, for the topical treatment of non-segmental vitiligo in adults and adolescents aged 12 and above with facial involvement. Benefiting from the Early and Pilot Implementation Policy granted by the state to Hainan Free Trade Port and the Pilot Zone, patients with vitiligo in China can apply for the Product in Boao Super Hospital first and receive treatment from the expert team. As of 30 June 2024, more than 3,200 patients have been treated with ruxolitinib cream in Boao Super Hospital.CMS has always been patient-oriented and innovation-driven based on clinical needs, continuously striving to improve drug accessibility. Benefited from the "Hong Kong and Macau Medicine and Equipment Connect" policy, ruxolitinib cream was approved for use in the Greater Bay Area and completed its first batch of prescriptions, shortening the time difference for Chinese vitiligo patients to use innovative drug and benefiting more domestic patients. Looking forward to the future, the Group will continuously strive to meet the unmet needs of Chinese patients, continuously explore novel drugs with international quality, and efficiently promote products’ clinical development and commercialization, so as to bring more quality pharmaceutical products through differentiated innovation-breakthrough, to safeguard the health and life-quality of patients.About ruxolitinib creamRuxolitinib cream (Opzelura), a novel cream formulation of Incyte’s selective JAK1/JAK2 inhibitor ruxolitinib, is approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration for the topical treatment of nonsegmental vitiligo in patients 12 years of age and older. As of now, it is the first and only treatment for repigmentation approved for use in the United States[1]. Ruxolitinib cream (Opzelura) is also approved in the U.S. for the topical short-term and non-continuous chronic treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (AD) in non-immunocompromised patients 12 years of age and older whose disease is not adequately controlled with topical prescription therapies, or when those therapies are not advisable[2]. In Europe, ruxolitinib cream (Opzelura) is approved for the treatment of non-segmental vitiligo with facial involvement in adults and adolescents from 12 years of age[3].On 2 December 2022, the Group through a subsidiary of the Company, a dermatology medical aesthetic company (“CMS Skinhealth”) entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Incyte for topical formulations of ruxolitinib for the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory dermatology diseases. In accordance with the License Agreement, the Group through CMS Skinhealth received an exclusive license to develop, register and commercialize the Product in Mainland China, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Macau Special Administrative Region, Taiwan Region and eleven Southeast Asian countries (Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia, Cambodia, Laos, Singapore, Timor-Leste and Brunei Darussalam) (the “Territory”) and a non-exclusive license to manufacture the Product in the Territory. The License Agreement commenced on its effective date and has a royalty term of ten years from the date of the commercial sale of the Product in the Territory (the “Royalty Term”). Upon the expiration of the Royalty Term, the License Agreement may be renewed for a period of ten years thereafter (the “Initial Extended Royalty Term”) as per certain conditions defined in the License Agreement. Upon the expiration of the Initial Extended Royalty Term, the License Agreement may be extended for a period otherwise agreed by both sides as per certain conditions defined in the License Agreement.Incyte has worldwide rights for the development and commercialization of the Product, marketed in the United States and Europe as Opzelura®. Opzelura and the Opzelura logo are registered trademarks of Incyte.About vitiligoVitiligo is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by depigmentation of the skin, which results from the loss of pigment-producing cells known as melanocytes. It is estimated that there are approximately 14 million vitiligo patients in China[4]. Non-segmental vitiligo patients account for approximately 85% of them. Topical corticosteroids (TCS) and calcineurin inhibitors (CI) are used off-label for non-segmental vitiligo, however, these therapies have clinical deficiencies with long-term adverse reactions of long-term treatment or limited efficacy[5,6].About CMSCMS is a platform company linking pharmaceutical innovation and commercialization with strong product lifecycle management capability, dedicated to providing competitive products and services to meet unmet medical needs.CMS focuses on the global first-in-class (FIC) and best-in-class (BIC) innovative products, and efficiently promotes the clinical research, development and commercialization of innovative products, enabling the continuous transformation of scientific research into clinical practices to benefit patients.CMS deeply engages in several specialty therapeutic fields, and has developed proven commercialization capabilities, extensive networks and expert resources, resulting in leading academic and market positions for its major marketed products. CMS continues to promote the in-depth development of its advantageous specialty fields and expand business boundaries. While strengthening the competitiveness of the cardio-cerebrovascular/gastroenterology business, CMS independently operates its dermatology and medical aesthetics business, and ophthalmology business, aiming to gain leading positions in specialty therapeutic fields, whilst enhancing the scale and efficiency. At the same time, CMS has expanded its business territory to the Southeast Asian market, striving to become a "bridgehead" for global pharmaceutical companies to enter the Southeast Asian market, further escorting the sustainable and healthy development of the Group.Reference:1.

Participation in the Multilateral System Remains High as Performance Drops, New Index Finds ACN Newswire

Participation in the Multilateral System Remains High as Performance Drops, New Index Finds

Washington, D.C., Oct 18, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Today marks the launch of the second edition of the Multilateralism Index from the International Peace Institute (IPI) and the Institute for Economics & Peace (IEP). The Index reveals that states remain engaged in the global multilateral system even as it increasingly struggles to address the crises it faces.Multilateralism Index 2024 ReportAn image of the front cover of the Multilateralism Index 2024 ReportKey resultsThe performance of the multilateral system declined across all five domains examined.Peace and security showed the steepest deterioration in performance, with the number of armed conflicts rising from 39 in 2013 to 55 in 2022.Climate action and human rights also saw significant declines in performance, despite increased engagement from member states.Participation in multilateral institutions has increased in most domains, even as performance has declined, indicating a shift from cooperation to contestation.Inclusivity improved across all domains, with steady growth in NGO engagement and women's representation in UN bodies.The Multilateralism Index 2024 presents a complex picture of global cooperation over the past decade, examining five crucial domains: Peace and Security, Human Rights, Climate Action, Public Health, and Trade. It reveals a contradiction: while participation in the multilateral system has largely held steady or even increased, its effectiveness in addressing global challenges has declined.Dr. Adam Lupel, IPI Vice President & COO said: "Over the past decade, we've witnessed a paradox in multilateralism. While participation in international institutions has largely held steady or even increased, the performance of the multilateral system in addressing global challenges has declined. This suggests a shift from cooperation to contestation at a time of transformation and rising global crises."The peace and security domain experienced the most significant deterioration in performance. Active armed conflicts increased from 39 in 2013 to 55 in 2022, with a notable rise in internationalized conflicts. The UN Security Council has seen more frequent use of the veto power, constraining its ability to respond to crises. However, states have not broadly pulled back from the UN peace and security architecture, and commitments in some areas, such as multilateral peacebuilding, have increased.Climate action presents another contradiction. Despite near-universal participation in the Paris Agreement and growing climate commitments, these commitments continue to fall short of necessary targets. Projections show an 8.8% increase in emissions by 2030, in stark contrast to the 43% decrease required to meet the critical 1.5°C target.The human rights domain exhibits a counterintuitive pattern. While engagement with UN human rights mechanisms has increased, global human rights protections have steadily declined. Most strikingly, members of the UN Human Rights Council consistently scored lower on human rights measures than the global average, indicating that many states are engaging less to advance human rights than to shape the direction of the system.Multilateral action on public health was significantly shaped by the COVID-19 pandemic, which reversed years of progress, particularly in areas such as childhood immunization. It also put the shortcomings of the global public health system in stark relief, spurring negotiations on an international pandemic agreement aimed at strengthening preparedness and response capabilities for future health crises.Trade is the one area where both performance and participation decreased. The paralysis of global trade negotiations and breakdown in adherence to global trade rules signal a shift away from multilateral approaches. This trend, combined with growing geopolitical tensions, creates challenges for global economic cooperation.Steve Killelea, Founder & Executive Chairman of IEP, commented: "The Multilateralism Index 2024 reveals a challenging trend: while engagement in global institutions has increased, their effectiveness has declined across key areas. There is a need to revitalize our multilateral system to address today's complex challenges."Despite these challenges, the Index highlights positive developments, particularly in the area of inclusivity. NGO engagement with the UN system has grown, and women's representation has increased across many UN bodies. However, the Global South remains underrepresented in many areas, suggesting that geographic inclusivity remains a work in progress.As the world contends with interconnected crises, from conflict to climate change, the Multilateralism Index 2024 provides valuable insights into the current state of global cooperation. It underscores the need for thoughtful reform to ensure that multilateral institutions can effectively address the complex challenges of the 21st century.Contact InformationMike KoslowskiIEP Senior Communications Advisormkoslowski@economicsandpeace.org+61418410531Related FilesMultilateralism Index 2024 - Full Press Release (1)Multilateralism Index 2024 - Full Press Release (1)SOURCE: International Peace Institute Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

DPC Dash – Domino’s Pizza China Drives Sales and Profit Growth and Optimizes Shareholder Structure

HONG KONG, Oct 18, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - As recent economic stimulus measures by the government of China boost consumer confidence, and propel a rally in domestic stock markets, consumption stocks have been leading the surge, closing strong in the third quarter of 2024 strong. DPC Dash – Domino’s Pizza China, ("DPC Dash" or the "Company") (1405.HK), Domino's Pizza's exclusive master franchisee in the China Mainland, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China, and the Macau Special Administrative Region of China, has further optimized shareholder structure to deliver long-term and significant value to shareholders.In the third quarter of 2024, the Company announced its inclusion in the Hong Kong Hang Seng Composite Index and the Shanghai-Hong Kong and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect Programs, underscoring its market credibility and growth potential. The inclusion in both a major index and stock connect programs offered more liquidity. As of October 15, 2024, the company’s stock price has surged over 60% since its IPO on March 28, 2023, significantly outperforming the Hang Seng Composite Index during the same period[i]. In order to further optimize shareholder structure and enhance the Company’s trading liquidity, Domino’s Pizza LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Domino’s Pizza, recently announced an agreement to sell an aggregate of 10,000,000 of the Company’s shares, or 7.66% of its total issued share capital as of October 17, 2024, to purchasers including institutional investors through off-market block trades. Following this share sale, Domino’s Pizza LLC retains 6.21% of total issued share capital with a lock-up period of 90 days for its remaining shares. The enduring relationship between DPC Dash and DPZ remains robust. The allocation is an opportunity for DPC Dash to further improve liquidity and bring new dynamics to its shareholder structure. Notable international banks have rated DPC Dash as “Buy” or “Outperform”, showing confidence in the company’s fundamentals and stock performance.DPC Dash continues to demonstrate its market prowess with strategic growth, operational efficiency and customer satisfaction. The Company’s remarkable success can be largely attributed to its effective 4D strategy of Development, Delicious pizza at value, Delivery, and Digital. This comprehensive approach has enabled the company to serve high-quality, value-for-money pizzas to a steadily growing customer base. From 2021 to 2023, DPC Dash realized a Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 37.6% in revenue. In the first half of 2024, revenue reached RMB2.04 billion while both reported and adjusted net profit after tax turned positive for the first time.The Company’s “Go Deeper, Go Broader” strategy has been instrumental in its growth. As of September 30, 2024, DPC Dash operates 978 stores across 33 cities, reflecting a robust expansion with 210 new stores opened year-to-date. The combined total of net new stores added this year, stores currently under construction, and stores with signed agreements has reached approximately 100% of the full-year opening target for 2024. It is confident in maintaining this strong expansion dynamic, with plans to open its 1000th store in the fourth quarter of 2024 and open 300 to 350 new stores annually in 2025 and 2026. The store network expansion is supported by strong performance metrics, including holding 28 of the top 30 positions for first 30-day sales among Domino’s global network of over 21,000 stores as of the end of the third quarter of 2024. Since the current management took the helm in the third quarter of 2017, DPC Dash has since achieved 29 consecutive quarters of positive same-store sales growth (SSSG) despite market and industrial turbulence. Meanwhile, the company’s digital initiatives played a crucial role in driving customer engagement and loyalty. The company’s loyalty program boasted 21.7 million members as of September 2024, with 11 million new customers placing their first orders in the past 12 months with Domino’s Pizza China.Looking ahead, DPC Dash remains focused on its expansion plans and operational enhancements, aiming for sustainable, profitable growth in China’s vast pizza market through continual innovation and optimization. The company’s resilient business model and strategic initiatives position it well for continued success in this competitive industry. The company will continue to strengthen its market position and add value to consumers by constantly enhancing product quality, service level, and customer experience.[i] Based on closed stock price of DPC Dash and HSCI of March 28, 2023 and October 15, 2024.

Graphene Manufacturing Group (GMG) Provides Commercialisation Update on Energy Savings Coating THERMAL-XR(R) ACN Newswire

Graphene Manufacturing Group (GMG) Provides Commercialisation Update on Energy Savings Coating THERMAL-XR(R)

Brisbane, Queensland, Australia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - October 16, 2024) - Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd. (TSXV: GMG) ("GMG" or the "Company") is pleased to provide a business update on the commercialisation progress of THERMAL-XR® Powered by GMG Graphene.CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT UPDATEGMG continues to carry out both Supply and Service Coating for various Air Conditioning Manufacturers, Distributors, Contractors and end equipment owners - including the large HVACR condensing units showing the black coating of THERMAL-XR on the condenser coils seen in Figure 1.Figure 1: GMG Team Members in front of large HVACR condensing units coated with THERMAL-XRTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/226793_4a202364a43cd862_001full.jpgAt an event on 4th October 2024 in Brisbane, Australia that included the broad participation of HVAC industry representatives, GMG successfully RE-launched THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE. The focus of the event was on Thermal-XR's unique heat transfer and corrosion protection capabilities. When first developed, the product was named THERMAL-XR® RESTORE because the Company believed its principal benefit was to restore the heat transfer capabilities of existing installed air conditioners. However, GMG has since proved with third party verification that the product can also enhance the heat transfer of new equipment; hence the re-branding to THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE.As a result, GMG now believes that THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE has exciting opportunities with HVAC Original Equipment Manufacturers ("OEMs") in addition to its potential in the HVAC aftermarket. Over the past several months, GMG has completed on-site testing of THERMAL-XR® with global Air Conditioning Manufacturers in China and the USA for potential introduction into their factories. While further customer testing will be required, GMG believes early results are promising.Apart from applications in the HVAC industry, the unique heat transfer capabilities of THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE has also led to potential new applications in a wide range of industries where reducing heat is important. For example, customer managed Third Party Laboratory Testing with THERMAL-XR® is now being done with companies that operate LNG facilities; companies that manufacture electronic products; and companies that produce motors for the industrial and automotive markets. Further testing will be required to confirm the benefits of using THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE in such applications.Figure 2: RE-LAUNCH of THERMAL-XR® ENHANCETo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/226793_4a202364a43cd862_002full.jpgAs shown in Figure 2, THERMAL-XR® ENHANCE will now be available in 5 litre pails, instead of the original 10 litre containers. Customers have expressed their preference for lighter weight pails because they believe they are easier to lift onto roof tops for spraying in-situ air conditioners. Generally, 5 Litres of THERMAL-XR can be used to spray up to 5 small to medium size air conditioners, covering approximately 50 square metres of solid plate.As previously announced, GMG and Nu Calgon have signed an agreement and are working with a consultant to prepare and submit a Pre-Manufacture Notice ("PMN") in conjunction with its USA Environmental Protection Agency's ("EPA") application to import and sell in the USA. The PMN application is expected to be submitted before the end of October, and the approval is expected to take less than 12 months. The PMN will be substantially different from the Low Volume Exemption ("LVE") PMN that was previously submitted by GMG. Unlike the LVE PMN application that was limited to 10 tons per annum and one application technique in the HVAC sector, the PMN EPA approval that GMG is now seeking will not be limited by volume, application and any one particular sector.INDUSTRY RECOGNITIONTHERMAL-XR® is a finalist in the AIRAH Product of the Year - to be announced on 21st November 2024. AIRAH, the Australian Institute of Refrigeration, Air Conditioning and Heating, is the peak body representing the HVAC&R industry in Australia. Officially incorporated by guarantee on March 29, 1920, AIRAH celebrated its Centenary anniversary in 2020.The AIRAH Awards provide our industry with the opportunity to reflect, applaud, and raise a toast to our peers and their achievements - from promising future leaders to established sector veterans; from the finest new projects to the best retrofits; as well as the greatest in refrigeration, renewable energy, and research.

This rigorous and impartial process makes the AIRAH Awards the most highly prized accolades in Australia's HVAC&R building services industry.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/226793_4a202364a43cd862_003full.jpgGMG's Managing Director and CEO, Craig Nicol, commented: "We believe GMG continues to make good progress in testing its products in large global OEM's for various types of products in various applications whilst our technical understanding of the coating improves - creating an exciting cycle of innovation and learning with our customers and how we make the graphene and coating, how it is applied and also how it is marketed and sold."GMG's Chairman and Director, Jack Perkowski, commented: "THERMAL-XR® testing in so many of these applications is very exciting to see and I am encouraged by its potential for progress in these markets."TEAM UPDATEGMG would like to thank Bobby Bran, Chief Projects Officer ("CPO"), for his near 6-year service at the Company. In the Company's continued efforts to transform into a commercial operation, the Company has decided to outsource major project activity going forward and as such will no longer need a CPO.On behalf of GMG and its Board of Directors, Craig Nicol and Jack Perkowski would like to thank Bobby for his dedication and service during his near 6-year tenure at the Company.About THERMAL-XR® powered by GMG Graphene:THERMAL-XR® COATING SYSTEM is a unique method of improving the conductivity of corroded heat exchange surfaces and improving and maintaining the performance of new units at peak levels. The process coats and protects heat exchange surfaces while improving and rebuilding the lost corroded thermal conductivity and increasing the heat transfer rate by leveraging the physics of GMG Graphene, resulting in an efficiency improvement and a potential power reduction.THERMAL-XR RESTORE® is powered by GMG Graphene.
