Pivotal Therapeutics Inc. Engages US Investor Relations Firm
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 08/18/11 -- Pivotal Therapeutics Inc. (CNSX: PVO), a specialty pharmaceutical company with a focus on the treatment of cardiovascular disease, is pleased to announce today that it has engaged The Shoreham Group, LLC to provide investor relations and strategic advisory services. Pivotal's lead product is a proprietary prescription-grade Omega-3 product, formulated with a unique Eicosapentaenoic (EPA) to Docosahexaenoic (DHA) ratio of ultra-high purity, for utility as an aid in the dietary management of Omega-3 deficient cardiovascular disease patients.
New York based Shoreham is a leading investor relations firm predominately serving the life sciences and technology sectors, with offices in New York and Boston. Shoreham will be assisting Pivotal with its corporate goals, including broadening the Company's exposure to institutional investors, daily IR activities, and corporate communications. Shoreham will also be responsible for creating significant awareness in positioning Pivotal for financing through access to the US and international capital markets.
In consideration for these services, Pivotal has both structured a monthly fee-for-service and has issued to Shoreham options to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.30, equal to the closing price on August 17, 2011. The options are fully exercisable and have a term of five years.
"Pivotal has an exciting story to tell," says Rachelle MacSweeney, President of Pivotal Therapeutics. "The appointment of a well-established IR firm to handle our investor relations needs is a key part of our business plan given the care with which we have positioned the Company to date, including but not limited to the launch of our lead therapeutic, VASCAZEN™ into the Canadian and US markets this fall."
"We are extremely pleased to be working with an emerging specialty pharmaceutical company of Pivotal's caliber," commented Tim Ryan, Managing Director of Shoreham. "We look forward to assisting Pivotal in achieving its business objectives of having a positive impact on the quality of life for patients suffering from cardiovascular disease."
VASCAZEN™ will be launched both in Canada this October at the Canadian Cardiovascular Congress' Vancouver 2011 Conference and in the US this November at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2011 in Orlando, Florida.
