Joel Shacker, CEO of Core One Labs stated,

“This acquisition will put us at the forefront of research into the use of psychedelics for treatment across multiple diseases, elevating our company’s portfolio to be comparable with the largest company in the space. Akome’s seasoned management team has experience taking products from their development stage through commercialization.

Their current pipeline of four provisional matter of composition patents has us very excited at their prospect of developing into commercial products to help people suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease, Stroke, Parkinson’s Disease and Depression, opening us up to a multibillion-dollar treatment market.”

Core One Labs will issue 3,500,000 common shares to the existing shareholders of Akome. Once issued, the shares will be subject to the terms of a pooling arrangement, during which time they may not be transferred or traded without the prior consent of the company.
