(CSE:RIN) (the “Company” or “Resinco”) announces that it has completed an investment in Toronto, ON and Oxford, UK based Cannabis Pharma Company, ReFormation Pharmaceuticals Corp.(“ReFormation”) through the acquisition of 49% of ReFormation’s outstanding shares.

ReFormation addresses numerous unmet clinical needs and focuses on treatments for:

Myocardial infarction (MI) -  Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality in the West, in the USA a person is estimated to suffer a myocardial infarction (MI) every 40 seconds.i

Type 1 Diabetes - Type 1 diabetes affects approximately 1 in 300 people under the age of 18 years in the USA and accounts for 10% of all causes of diabetes.ii

Parkinson’s Disease - Parkinson’s disease is the second commonest neurodegenerative disorder, will affect nearly 1 million people in the USA by 2020 and is estimated to increase to 1.24 million individuals by 2030.iii

Liver Injury - Approximately 60% of patients with NAFLD go on to develop non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and 25% of these develop liver cirrhosis, equating to 1.5-2% of the total population.iv

Stem Cell Opportunity

The Global Stem Cell Market was worth $5.17 Billion USD in 2017 and it is estimated to grow to $9.03 Billion USD by 2023 with a CAGR of 9.74% between 2017 and 2023.v

Stem cells are responsible for the repair and healing of all tissues. Whilst stem cell therapy has now become the standard of care for many blood disorders, despite the perceived promise, media hype and huge investment, cellular therapy for solid organs has not yielded the anticipated benefits. Stem cells change when in culture and very few engraft into the scarred and inflamed tissue bed.

Further, personalized therapy would be prohibitively expensive and beyond the means of all healthcare systems given the increasing and overwhelming burden of the many degenerative diseases due to our aging population.

Medical Cannabis Market Opportunity

The Medical Marijuana industry is rapidly growing. Currently the market is valued at $14.3B USD. It is estimated to reach a market value of $74.3B USD by 2027 at a projected CAGR of 17.9% from 2017 to 2027. Already over 1.2 million people use Medical Marijuana for medical problems.vi

Growth for its use is underpinned by numerous factors such as legislation permitting its use for medicinal benefits. Increasing research in the medical field has shown marijuana’s benefits in suppressing vomiting and nausea, pain relief, whilst also generating a growing number therapeutic applications for inflammation, HIV/AIDS, cancer, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, Huntington’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.

Prof. Jagdeep Nanchahal, CEO & CSO of ReFormation, said, “We are thrilled to have received this investment from Resinco, which speaks volumes of the Cannabis Pharma space as a whole, and our groundbreaking work within it.  We are delighted to have them by our side as we work on developing life changing therapeutics.”

Alexander Somjen, President and CEO of Resinco, said, “ReFormation is working on cutting edge Cannabis Pharma therapies overseen by some of the brightest minds in the pharmaceutical industry.  This is a very exciting opportunity for Resinco and its shareholders.”
