About OCD

More than 2.5 million adults in the United States suffer from OCD every year. It is a chronic psychiatric illness characterized by a pattern of obsessive thoughts and compulsive repetitive behaviors, which has a significantly destructive effect on patients’ day-to-day activities. Current treatment options include high dosages of SRI antidepressant medications (Clomipramine, Fluoxetine, Sertraline, Paroxetine and Fluvoxamine), a form of CBT called exposure and response prevention (ERP), or a combination of these treatment options. OCD is very difficult to treat since many patients do not respond or tolerate medications and ERP. OCD is usually comorbid with other conditions (such as depression or bipolar disorders), making the patient effectively treatment resistant and increasing the illness and treatment burden. As many as 1 in 2 OCD patients have suicidal thoughts, 1 in 4 will attempt suicide in their lifetime, and the risk of completed suicide is ten times higher with OCD than without.

Eastern Canadian Grain Farmers Ready for Risk Programs to be at 85 Percent Following FPT Meeting

GUELPH, Ontario and LONGUEUIL, Quebec and MONCTON, New Brunswick, Nov. 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TODAY, Atlantic Grain Council, Grain Farmers of Quebec (Producteurs de grains du Québec), and Grain Farmers of Ontario recognize Canadian Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Marie-Claude Bibeau for her recent comments highlighting the necessity of AgriStability change and its importance for the upcoming meeting of federal, provincial, territorial (FPT) agriculture ministers.

Atlantic Grains Council, Grain Farmers of Quebec and Grain Farmers of Ontario have made it clear in their recent public awareness campaign that reinstating the former conditions to AgriStability – both raising the trigger to 85 percent and removing the reference margin limits – is essential to offer better support for grain farmers.

AgriStability is a Business Risk Management (BRM) program that only helps farmers during times of great need, and is cost-shared by farmers, the provinces, and the federal government. Minister Bibeau has recognized the need for BRM change.

Minister Bibeau has recently stated that her objective is to find consensus among provinces to “make AgriStability more generous, easier to understand and to proceed with, and also fairer when we look at the different sectors in agriculture.”

She has also stated, “we all already agree on the fact that removing the reference margin limit should be the first step.”

However, the Eastern Canadian grain groups remind Minister Bibeau that raising the trigger for AgriStability to 85 percent must go hand-in-hand with reference margin limit removal.

“We are hopeful when we see Minister Bibeau’s comments that she recognizes the need to increase the trigger and remove the reference margin limit as a solution for AgriStability’s shortfalls, but we are also concerned that without all of the provinces on side, the program won’t be fixed. We cannot afford more disruptions without the proper business assurance programs in place,” said Markus Haerle Chair, Grain Farmers of Ontario.

“For a grain farmer in Eastern Canada, the AgriStability trigger at its current 70 percent equates to no, or very little, support in times of crisis. The FPT meeting represents a unique opportunity for leaders to ensure the health and safety of our food system for generations to come. Minister Bibeau’s support is vital and we urge the provinces to come together to make these much-needed changes to AgriStability,” said Roy Culberson, Chair, Atlantic Grains Council.

“In 2013 AgriStability became a non-viable support program for most grain farmers in Canada and it has remained that way. We need to be prepared for the next market disruption, that requires, at least, this program returning to 85 percent triggers with the reference margin limit removed,” said Christian Overbeek, chair of the Grain Farmers of Quebec.

A November 2020 report by Agri-Food economic Systems (“AgriStability is in Need of Crucial Reform”) stated that bringing the AgriStability trigger back to 85 percent with no reference margin limit “…would provide an improved investment climate for producers, to ensure continuing productivity growth. Increasing the AgriStability trigger does not undermine Canada’s commitments on most distorting agricultural support, nor its commitment to rules-based trade.

The changes from both removal of the reference margin limit and an increase in the trigger to 85 percent are a sufficient starting point. They could offset the growing chorus for ad hoc support, similar to the U.S. programs, by bringing participants back to AgriStability, and giving governments and industry time to set in place a longer term BRM design, consistent with international market disruptions and volatility anticipated. The full report can be read here.

Osino Resources Makes New Drill Discovery at Clouds Target, Potential for Significant Increase in Mineralized Strike at Twin Hills Gold Project, Namibia

  • Assays received for 36 exploration drill holes from satellite targets (Clouds, Twin Hills West and Barking Dog) at Twin Hills.
  • These targets are brownfields targets along trend and within a 2500m radius from Twin Hills Central.
  • Significant new gold discoveries made at Clouds West and East, respectively 500m and 1500m east along strike from Twin Hills Central. Gold mineralization intersected includes:

    • 27m @ 1.22g/t (OKD059: 143 – 170), incl. 16m @ 1.74g/t (Clouds West)
    • 76m @ 0.75g/t (OKD093: 66 – 142m) incl. 37m @ 0.97g/t (Clouds East)
    • 22m @ 1.19g/t (OKD096: 120 – 142m) incl. 9m @ 2.44g/t (Clouds East)
  • Both Clouds East and West lie along a prominent, high-intensity IP anomaly along strike from Twin Hills Central, therefore potentially doubling the Twin Hills Central mineralized strike length from 1500 to over 3000m in length.
  • Rapid step-out drill program ongoing to define & delineate the resource potential at Clouds East and West, as well as the gaps in between, and Twin Hills Central.
  • Additional significant drill intercepts at Twin Hills West and Barking Dog further reinforce the brownfields exploration potential of the overall Twin Hills gold system.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Osino Resources Corp. (TSXV: OSI) (FSE: RSR1) (OTCQB: OSIIF) (“Osino” or “the Company”), is pleased to provide an update on the brownfields exploration drilling at the Clouds, Twin Hills West and Barking Dog targets adjacent to and along trend from Osino’s Twin Hills Central (“THC”) gold project in north-central Namibia, where the Company holds a dominant 7,000 km2 land position. THC is part of the large, sedimentary-hosted and structurally controlled Twin Hills gold system which was discovered by Osino in 2019.

Significant assays received at Clouds West and East confirm the discovery of two new zones of gold mineralization, including higher grade shoots up to 1500m from the eastern edge of THC. The Clouds mineralization occurs along a strong IP anomaly, which appears continuous along the entire combined 3100m strike length (Figure 2 below indicates details of the Clouds drilling and coincident IP anomaly).

These new discoveries indicate the potential to double the mineralized strike at THC, thereby also significantly growing THC’s contiguous resource potential. A high intensity drill program has been put in place to drill out the Clouds targets and the gap between THC and Clouds before the end of Q1 2021.

David Underwood, Osino’s Vice President Exploration commented: The mineralization drilled at Clouds West and East is a very exciting step forward and provides the first indication that economic mineralization at Twin Hills Central may double in an eastward direction to over 3000m in strike length. These new discoveries provide a glimpse of the substantial growth potential of the overall Twin Hills Central gold deposit and nearby satellite bodies along strike and on parallel trends. We have now dedicated several drill rigs to theentire Clouds target as well as the gap between THC and Clouds West.At the same time, resource drilling at Twin Hills Central is continuing on schedule with rigs concentrating on the northern and eastern extensions as well as the remaining in-fill holes. The positive results at Twin Hills West and Barking Dog are the best holes in these areas to date and will direct further exploration early next year.”

In addition, narrow but significant intercepts have been returned from both Twin Hills West (16m @ 1.38g/t) and Barking Dog (8m @ 1.30g/t) which provide a clear indication of where future drilling should be focused at these targets. The intercept on the south side of Barking Dog is the first positive result in this part of the Twin Hills system and indicates that the mineralization is developing towards the southeast – see Figure 1.

Figure 1 is available at https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/41ccf1e7-731e-407d-bb36-aa427738d67d

To date a total of 36 holes have been drilled at Clouds, Twin Hills West (“THW”) and Barking Dog (See Figure 1 for location of targets and Table 1 for list of drill holes and significant assays) with significant assay results having been received.

Detail
ed Results of Exploration Drilling

Clouds

The Clouds target is a 1200m long gold-in-calcrete, magnetic and IP anomaly that lies 500m on strike to the east of THC. Two holes were drilled on the west side of Clouds in 2019 with a best intercept of 7m @ 0.71g/t in hole OKD025. An additional seven holes were drilled at Clouds West in the current program with a best result of 27m @ 1.22g/t (inc. 16m @ 1.74g/t) in hole OKD059, 180m to the west of OKD025 – see Figure 2. The gold mineralization is steeply dipping to the north and occurs within sheared and altered turbidites, hosting centimeter-scale veinlets of arsenopyrite and pyrrhotite. This mineralization is similar in style to THC.

Two holes were also drilled at Clouds East in 2019 with a best result of 27m @ 0.80g/t (inc. 6m @ 1.25g/t) in OKD057. In the current program three additional step-out holes were drilled at Clouds East with all of the holes intersecting significant mineralization with a best of 76m @ 0.75g/t (inc. 37m @ 0.97g/t) and 19m @ 1.19g/t (inc. 8m @ 1.67g/t) – see Figure 2.

The intercepts at Clouds to date look narrower than at THC but the widest part of the IP anomaly in the center of the Clouds target has yet to be drilled. If the mineralization is continuous from THC to Clouds East, the total strike length of mineralization could potentially be increased to 3100m.

Figure 2 is available at https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/8e892c0d-209e-4be8-9ac2-687fc2461428 

Twin Hills West

In the 2020 exploration program, four holes were drilled to the south and west of OKD011 (21m @ 0.83g/t) and OKD019 (11m @ 1.08g/t) to follow-up on the results from 2019. The best result from the recent drilling is 16m @ 1.38g/t in the southernmost hole (OKD037) – see Figure 1. This hole appears to have intersected the top of a developing ore shoot and step-out drilling is being planned for early 2021 to follow-up on OKD037 and also to test the strong IP and gold-in-calcrete anomaly at THW to the north of the current drilling.

Eight holes were drilled at THW in 2019 with the initial holes (OKD011 and OKD013) orientated on an azimuth of 160o as at THC. However, the drill was turned around to 340o after 50m of the second hole as it became clear that the geology at THW dips steeply to the south, in contrast to the rest of Twin Hills where it dips to the north.

Barking
Dog

In 2019 six holes were drilled at Barking Dog across magnetic and geochemical anomalies with no significant gold intercepts. A further four holes were drilled during the 2020 program over a prominent IP anomaly to the south of Barking Dog. Hole OKD063 on the east side of the anomaly returned a positive intercept of 8m @ 1.30g/t. This mineralization will be followed-up along strike and down-dip to see if it develops into a wider shoot towards the east – see Figure 1.

These drill results have provided validation of the quality of Osino’s new IP targets and provide impetus to further accelerating Osino’s brownfields exploration program in addition to the ongoing resource drilling.

(NASDAQ: CERC), a biopharmaceutical company focused on becoming a leader in the development and commercialization of treatments for rare and orphan diseases, today announced a collaboration with The Frontiers in Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation Consortium (FCDGC) led by Eva Morava-Kozicz, M.D. Ph.D., Principal Investigator of the trial, Professor of Medical Genetics, Senior Associate Consultant, Department of Clinical Genomics, Mayo Clinic and Editor in Chief of the Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease on a prospective pivotal trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of CERC-801 in patients suffering from Phosphoglucomutase-1 deficiency related congenital disorders of glycosylation (PGM1-CDG).

Dr. H. Jeffrey Wilkins, M.D., Chief Medical Officer for Cerecor, stated, “We are delighted to be working with the premier group of thought leaders from The FCDGCto study CERC-801 in patients suffering from PGM1-CDG. We intend to use the data generated from this prospective trial to supportour submission package to the FDA for CERC-801 as the first approved product for the treatment and management of PGM1-CDG.”

This trial will study the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of CERC-801 in patients with PGM1-CDG using daily therapeutic doses of CERC-801 in approximately ten patients. Outcome measures will include evaluation of clinical symptoms and clinically meaningful biomarkers.

Andrea Miller, JD, MHA, President & Founder of CDG CARE, stated, “We are truly excited to see the collaboration between FCDGC and Cerecor and this prospective trial in PGM1-CDG. CDG is an area of high unmet need where there are no approved therapies today. The possibility for thereto be an approved therapy for PGM1-CDG is exciting and has the potential to improve the quality of life of patients suffering fromthis ultra rare form of CDG.”

About PGM1-CDG

CDGs are a group of rare, inherited, metabolic disorders caused by glycosylation defects that present as a broad range of clinical symptoms, including coagulopathy, hepatopathy, myopathy, hypoglycemia, protein-losing enteropathy and reduced cell counts. CDG patients are born with a genetic defect that hinders their ability to utilize certain monosaccharides in the production of glycoproteins. A deletion or misplacement of a sugar subunit produces a dysfunctional glycoprotein, resulting in a myriad of medical issues.

While there are no U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved treatments for the treatment of CDGs, dietary monosaccharide formulations have been shown to alleviate several of the clinical manifestations in CDG patients. These restorative monosaccharide therapies work by increasing the availability of metabolic intermediates for glycoprotein synthesis. PGM1-CDG is caused by mutation in the PGM1 gene encoding an enzyme responsible for the interconversion of glucose-6-phosphate to glucose-1-phosphate. Glucose-1-phosphate can be utilized to supply UDP-galactose, a substrate that donates galactose subunits for glycoprotein synthesis. CERC-801 uses therapeutic doses of D-galactose to restore glycosylation in patients with PGM1 deficiency.

About FCDGC

The Frontiers in CDG Consortium leverages cross-disciplinary, team-based clinical science to address decades of unresolved questions, increase clinical trial readiness, advance and share knowledge, develop treatments, and address current unmet patient needs. The Consortium establishes a nation-wide network of ten regional academic centers, the Sanford Burnham Presbyterian Medical Discovery Institute and the patient advocacy group CDG CARE.

CDG CARE (Community Alliance and Resource Exchange) is the Patient Advocacy Group representing all Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation (CDG) and Deglycosylation (CDDG) for the FCDGC. CDG CARE is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization founded by parents seeking information and support for a group of disorders known as CDG. Their mission is to promote greater awareness and understanding of CDG, to provide information and support to families affected by CDG, and to advocate for and fund scientific research to advance the diagnosis and treatment of all CDGs.

About CERC-800s

CERC-801, CERC-802 and CERC-803 are restorative monosaccharide therapies with known therapeutic utility for the treatment of select CDGs. Oral administration at therapeutic doses of CERC-801, CERC-802, and CERC-803 replenishes critical metabolic intermediates that are reduced or absent due to genetic mutation, overcoming single enzyme defects in respective CDGs to support glycoprotein synthesis, maintenance and function.

Farsight Security Integrates with Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR to Provide Automated, Actionable DNS Intelligence For Cyber Investigations

Integration combines Farsight Security DNSDB with Cortex XSOAR to automate contextualization and correlation of DNS-related artifacts used in cybercrimes

SAN MATEO, Calif., Nov. 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Farsight Security®, Inc., the leader in DNS Intelligence, today announced that Farsight DNSDB®, the world’s largest historical DNS intelligence database, is now integrated with Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR, the industry’s first extended security orchestration, automation and response platform that empowers security teams by simplifying and harmonizing security operations across their enterprise. Through this integration, Farsight DNSDB and Cortex XSOAR enable security analysts to uncover and gain context for all connected DNS-related digital artifacts, from domain names and IP addresses to nameservers and MX records, in seconds.

Farsight Security is offering a free content pack entitled “DNSDB” in the Cortex XSOAR integrations marketplace. The DNSDB content pack contains three playbooks that integrate into existing automation processes to automatically contextualize and correlate all DNS-related assets. For example, while responding to a reported malicious domain, users can uncover the associated domains and IP addresses to reveal the attacker’s infrastructure which may have already been used or may be used in the future for an attack.

Using the playbooks, security practitioners can retrieve:

  • All hostnames seen for a given IP around the time of observation.
  • All IPs seen for a given hostname around the time of observation.
  • A limited number of other hostnames seen on the same IPs as the target hostname.

“A broad and open ecosystem is vital to the successful adoption of any XSOAR platform,” said Rishi Bhargava, vice president of product strategy, Cortex XSOAR at Palo Alto Networks. “We are proud to welcome Farsight Security to the Cortex XSOAR ecosystem, which has partner-owned integrations that enable customers to streamline security processes, connect disparate security tools and technologies, and maintain the right balance of machine-powered security automation and human intervention.”

“Every online transaction, good or bad, begins with a DNS lookup. Yet domain names and IP addresses can be used and discarded by criminals in minutes or even seconds. Farsight DNSDB enables users to map malicious infrastructure – even when the website has disappeared or the IP address or nameserver for the suspicious DNS asset has changed. Farsight Security is proud to be part of the Cortex XSOAR marketplace and these playbooks will measurably improve the speed and accuracy of our joint customer investigations,” said Farsight Security CEO Dr. Paul Vixie.

Cortex XSOAR is an extended security orchestration, automation and response platform that unifies case management, automation, real-time collaboration and threat intel management to transform every stage of the incident lifecycle. Teams can manage alerts across all sources, standardize processes with playbooks, take action on threat intel and automate response for any security use case — resulting in significantly faster responses that require less manual review.

Corvus Gold’s New Lynnda Strip Discovery Displays Multiple Vein Systems with 42.7 Metres @ 2.06 g/t Gold Including 12.2 Metres @ 4.88 g/t Gold, in the Eastern Bullfrog Mining District, Nevada

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Corvus Gold Inc. (“Corvus” or the “Company”) – (TSX: KOR, NASDAQ: KOR) announces it has received additional results from its new Lynnda Strip discovery east and west of the previously announced discovery hole ML20-168 (NR20-17: 106.7m @ 0.71g/t gold & 48.8m @ 0.90 g/t gold). The new oxide, vein intersections are within broad zones of lower-grade disseminated mineralization highlighted by an Upper Zone vein in hole ML20-170 (42.7m @ 2.06 g/t gold including 12.2m @ 4.88 g/t gold) and a Lower Zone vein in hole ML20-166 (33.5m @ 1.63 g/t gold including 7.6m @ 3.96 g/t gold). These thick zones of mineralization continue to display a gold system thickness of 150-200 metres that all end in mineralization indicating additional potential at depth (Figure 1 & Table 1).

The higher-grade vein systems at Lynnda Strip are associated with gray quartz stockwork systems that best develop along moderately west dipping north-south structural zones and reactively flat, east dipping stratigraphic contact related zones (Figure 2). These veins appear related to subsidiary, structural zones in the hanging wall of large displacement, north-south trending major faults and are surrounded by broad zones of disseminated lower-grade oxide gold mineralization. Corvus believes that ongoing core drilling at Lynnda Strip has shown the system could extend an addition 100 metres below the initial RC drill holes announced to date with oxidation that could be excess of 500 metres deep.  

The dimensions of the Lynnda Strip system is in excess of 500 metres East-West and is displaying a system thickness that could be in excess of 200 metres.  As like other systems in the Bullfrog District that are related to North-South trending structural zones, the potential strike extent could be multiples of the currently known width.   Corvus believes that this system could be very large and currently appears to be a higher-grade heap-leach open pit deposit. Corvus’ strategic land position will allow it to assess the width of this north-south trending system which initially will target an approximate 1 km-long fence assessing three major structural zones: Lynnda Strip, South Merlin and Owl Creek which is the north extension of Mother Lode zone (Figure 3 & 4).

Jeffrey Pontius, President and CEO of Corvus, said, “These new results from Lynnda Strip along with the deep extension of the gold system that we see in the on-going core drilling program is outlining a large new discovery of a deeply oxidized heap leach deposit. Corvus’ continued assessment and definition of its size and quality will be a major interest driver for the District. The Lynnda Strip target is blind, under non-mineralized cover, resembling all major discoveries made in the District to date and reinforces the exploration potential of this area. When looked at in the context of other western Nevada major, volcanic related gold systems like Round Mountain and Comstock, we could be just scratching the surface of the potential of this re-emerging Nevada Gold District.”

and readers are urged to review these materials, including the technical reports filed with respect to the Company’s mineral properties.


Cautionary Note to US Investors

NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators which establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. Unless otherwise indicated, all resource estimates contained in or incorporated by reference in this press release have been prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 and the guidelines set out in the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) Standards on Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council on November 14, 2004 (the “CIM Standards”) as they may be amended from time to time by the CIM.

United States investors are cautioned that the requirements and terminology of NI 43-101 and the CIM Standards differ significantly from the requirements and terminology of the SEC set forth in the SEC’s Industry Guide 7 (“SEC Industry Guide 7”). Accordingly, the Company’s disclosures regarding mineralization may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by companies subject to SEC Industry Guide 7. Without limiting the foregoing, while the terms “mineral resources”, “inferred mineral resources”, “indicated mineral resources” and “measured mineral resources” are recognized and required by NI 43-101 and the CIM Standards, they are not recognized by the SEC and are not permitted to be used in documents filed with the SEC by companies subject to SEC Industry Guide 7. Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability, and US investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of a mineral resource will ever be converted into reserves. Further, inferred resources have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of the inferred resources will ever be upgraded to a higher resource category. Under Canadian rules, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of a feasibility study or prefeasibility study, except in rare cases. The SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute SEC Industry Guide 7 compliant “reserves” as in-place tonnage and grade without reference to unit amounts. The term “contained ounces” is not permitted under the rules of SEC Industry Guide 7. In addition, the NI 43-101 and CIM Standards definition of a “reserve” differs from the definition in SEC Industry Guide 7. In SEC Industry Guide 7, a mineral reserve is defined as a part of a mineral deposit which could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time the mineral reserve determination is made, and a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study is required to report reserves, the three-year historical price is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis of designated reserves and the primary environmental analysis or report must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority. The mine economics presented herein and derived from the PEA are preliminary in nature and may not be realized. The PEA is not a feasibility study. U.S. investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our latest reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. You can review and obtain copies of these filings at http://www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml. U.S. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any defined resource will ever be converted into SEC Industry Guide 7 compliant reserves.

This press release is not, and is not to be construed in any way as, an offer to buy or sell securities in the United States.

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) limits disclosure for U.S. reporting purposes to mineral deposits that a company can economically and legally extract or produce.
Resource
estimates contained in
this
press release
are made pursuant to NI 43-101 standards in Canada and do not represent reserves under the standards of the SEC’s Industry Guide 7
.
Under the currently applicable SEC Industry Guide 7 standards, a “final” or “bankable” feasibility study is required to report reserves, the three-year historical average price is used in any reserve or cash flow analysis to designate reserves and all necessary permits and government approvals must be filed with the appropriate governmental authority.
This press release
uses the terms “M
easured R
esources”, “Indicated R
esou
rces”, and
“Inferred
R
esources”. We advise U.S. investors that while these terms are
Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with NI 43-101, such terms are not recognized under SEC Industry Guide 7 and normally are not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. Mineral resources described in th
is press release
have a great amount of uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. The SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute SEC Industry Guide 7 compliant “reserves” as in-place tonnage and grade, without reference to unit measures.
“Inferred R
esources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that
any or all part of an Inferred R
esource will ever be upgraded to a higher category.

U.S. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into SEC Industry Guide 7 reserves.

The Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation and National Medical Fellowships today announced that they have entered into a partnership aimed at improving diversity in clinical trials. Leveraging $100 million of the previously announced commitment from Bristol Myers Squibb and the Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation to diversity and inclusion, the partnership will develop a program to extend the reach of clinical trials into underserved patient populations in urban and rural U.S. communities. This program will train and develop 250 new clinical investigators who are racially and ethnically diverse or who have a demonstrated commitment to increasing diversity in clinical trials, and it will expose 250 promising, underrepresented minority medical students across the country to clinical research career pathways. Additionally, the program will assist program investigators in building capacity and standing up new clinical trials sites in communities with diverse and heavily burdened patient populations.

The need for diversity in clinical trials

“Clinical research is necessary to generate evidence demonstrating the efficacy and safety of new treatments,” said Robert Winn, M.D., Director, Massey Cancer Center, Virginia Commonwealth University, who is serving as chair of the national advisory committee of the Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation Diversity in Clinical Trials Career Development Program. “While the patient response to medical therapies may differ across racial and ethnic subgroups, clinical trials often fail to represent the demographic diversity of the populations that these products aim to serve. I am proud to serve as an advisor to this program, which will support improvements toward diverse representation in clinical research and promote health equity.”

In fact, aggregated data on the racial and ethnic participation in clinical trials published by the FDA show that in general 80% of patients taking part in clinical trials are white. Black Americans represent 13%1 of the US population but only reflect about 7%2 of participants in clinical trials.

John Damonti, president of the Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation added, “Science demonstrates that we must diversify clinical trials in order to improve health outcomes and advance health equity. We are pleased to partner with National Medical Fellowships so that this effort will benefit from their decades of experience and unmatched expertise. Together, we will tap the often overlooked but powerful resource of racially and ethnically diverse physicians or other physicians who have a demonstrated commitment to increasing diversity in clinical trials, working in academic medical centers, community-based practices and Federally Qualified Health Centers. These physicians are established in their communities, and no one is in a better position to build trusting relationships with patients than they are.”

“Diversity has a role to play in the entire lifecycle of therapeutic development, from the trial design and community engagement, to therapeutic efficacy and adoption,” said Sandra Nichols, M.D., Chairperson, National Medical Fellowships Board of Directors. “National Medical Fellowships has a vision to promote equity of access to quality healthcare for all groups in American society. Advancing diversity in clinical trials is a critically important component of this effort, and our partnership with the Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation is consistent with our mission.”

About the program

The goal of the Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation Diversity in Clinical Trials Career Development Program is to increase diversity of patients enrolled in clinical trials, and ultimately enhance the development of therapeutics for all populations. The program will collaborate with communities to facilitate an approach to clinical and translational research that is community-informed, designed and conducted. It will provide the sponsorship, support and tools that emerging investigators need to conduct clinical trials that will yield the development of new treatments that are effective in all populations.

How to apply

Applications will open in January 2021. Eligible candidates will hold the degree of MD, MD/PhD, DO or DO/PhD and have an interest in clinical research in the areas of cancer (hematology and oncology), cardiovascular disease and immunologic disorders. In addition, they will reflect the NIH definition of Early Stage Investigator and the NIH definition of underrepresented populations in the U.S. Biomedical, Clinical Behavioral and Social Sciences Research Enterprise, or have a demonstrated commitment to increasing diversity in clinical trials.

Legacy Acquisition Corp. Announces Stockholder Approval of Charter Amendment to Give Option to Extend the Deadline to Consummate a Business Combination, if Needed

 Previously Announced Business Combination with Onyx Enterprises Int’l, Corp. Remains Expected to Close by November 20, 2020

New York, NY, Nov. 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Legacy Acquisition Corp. (NYSE: “LGC”) (“Legacy”), a publicly-traded Special Purpose Acquisition Company, announced that, at Legacy’s special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) held virtually at 10:00 am Eastern Time on November 16, 2020, its stockholders approved an amendment to Legacy’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended by that amendment to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation, dated October 22, 2019, as further amended by that second amendment to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation, dated May 18, 2020, as further amended by that third amendment to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation, dated September 4, 2020 (the “Charter Amendment”), to give Legacy the option to extend the date by which Legacy has to consummate a business combination (the “Extension”) from November 20, 2020 to December 31, 2020. At the Special Meeting, Legacy’s stockholders also approved an amendment to Legacy’s investment management trust agreement, dated as of November 16, 2017, as amended by that amendment no. 1 to investment management trust agreement, dated October 22, 2019, as further amended by that amendment no. 2 to investment management trust agreement, dated May 18, 2020, between Legacy and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trust Amendment”), to give Legacy the option to extend the date on which to commence liquidating the trust account established in connection with Legacy’s initial public offering in the event Legacy has not consummated a business combination from November 20, 2020 to December 31, 2020.

As previously announced, Legacy and Onyx Enterprises Int’l, Corp., a New Jersey corporation (“Onyx”), intend to consummate the business combination (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), dated September 18, 2020, by and among Legacy, Excel Merger Sub I, Inc., Excel Merger Sub II, LLC, Onyx and Shareholder Representative Services LLC. Legacy will only implement the Extension (and effect the Charter Amendment and the Trust Amendment), if Legacy’s management does not believe that Legacy will be able to consummate the Business Combination by the current deadline of November 20, 2020.

In connection with the Extension, Legacy’s stockholders elected to redeem 37,291 shares of Legacy’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “public shares”), issued in Legacy’s initial public offering. As a result, an aggregate of approximately $387,200 (or approximately $10.38 per share) will be removed from Legacy’s trust account to pay such stockholders. Following such redemptions, approximately 6,085,408 public shares will remain issued and outstanding.  

As was previously indicated in the definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 4, 2020, in connection with the Extension, Legacy intends to make a cash contribution (“Contribution”) to the trust account in an amount equal to $0.03 for each public share that was not redeemed in connection with the stockholder approval of the Extension Amendment only if the Extension is effected and the Business Combination is not consummated by November 20, 2020. The Contribution (if any) will not accrue interest and the aggregate amount of the Contribution will be calculated and paid in full at the closing of the Business Combination from the proceeds of the Business Combination.

On November 4, 2020, Legacy filed a definitive consent solicitation statement with the SEC in connection with the amendments (the “Warrant Amendments”) to the Warrant Agreement, dated as of November 16, 2017, between Legacy and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, a New York corporation, as warrant agent (the “Warrant Agreement”). Legacy must receive consents signed by the holders of at least 65% of the outstanding public warrants in order to approve the Warrant Amendments. As of November 13, 2020, holders of 67.14% of the outstanding public warrants have consented to the Warrant Amendments.

Legacy and Onyx believe that all of the conditions to closing under the Business Combination Agreement have been met or will be met (other than those conditions which by their nature are satisfied simultaneously with closing), and Legacy anticipates that the closing of the Business Combination will occur, on or before November 20, 2020. Legacy management, therefore, believes that the closing of the Business Combination is capable of being consummated substantially contemporaneously with the expiration of the tender offer at 12:01 a.m. Eastern on November 19, 2020 (or within three business days thereafter).  

About Legacy Acquisition Corp.
