Its CEO and Chairman, Mr. Pedro Lichtinger, is an industry executive with a 37-year career in biotechnology and a proven track record of building commercial and R & D capabilities. He is the former President of Global Primary Care and President of Europe, for Pfizer Inc.

Zach Stadnyk, CEO, stated: "This investment provides our shareholders with exposure to a rapidly developing therapeutics business, which has just completed its phase 1 clinical trial for its STAR - LLD continuous delivery technology deploying lenalidomide. Starton is also entering a phase 2 trial with its STAR - OLZ transdermal five - day adhesive matrix patch deploying olanzapine, for which the FDA has cleared an investigational new drug application for STAR-OLZ in Chemotherapy Induced Nausea and Vomiting. With this investment in Starton we are building our relationship, forming an alliance and will look to Starton's expert management team to reduce risk in our own portfolio of clinical pursuits and focus on the addiction space."

Starton's proprietary transdermal technology is intended to increase efficacy of approved drugs, to make them more tolerable and expand their potential use. It has two therapeutic programs, STAR-LLD and STAR-OLZ in clinical development with patent protection through 2040 and 2041.

This initial investment of CDN$592,000 for 145,161 shares of Stanton, priced at US$3.10 per share, provides the starting point for a strategic relationship going forward whereby LOVE Pharma will leverage Starton's advancements and breakthroughs to guide its clinical pursuits.

LOVE Pharma's investment in Starton Therapeutics is primarily based upon the company's interest in innovative drug delivery technology, such as transdermal patches, which can reduce side effects, transforming patient outcomes with established, approved medicines allowing for streamlined market entry with long term IP protections. With this initial investment in Starton, management believes the company can leverage its expertise and proven success to credibly evaluate potential acquisitions in the transdermal field of advanced drug delivery systems.
