Satellos Receives Conditional Approval to Graduate to the Toronto Stock Exchange

Satellos Bioscience Inc. (“Satellos” or the “Company”) (TSXV: MSCL) (OTCQB: MSCLF), a public biotech company developing new small molecule therapeutic approaches to improve the treatment of muscle diseases and disorders, is pleased to announce that it has received conditional approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) to graduate from the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) and to list its common shares (the “Common Shares”) on the TSX.

“Uplisting to the TSX will expand our reach to a broader range of global investors seeking to invest in novel therapeutic approaches grounded in decades of ground-breaking scientific research,” said Frank Gleeson, Cofounder and CEO of Satellos. “This year we will be building to important milestones as we progress SAT-3247, our lead small molecule drug candidate for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, through IND-enabling studies and GMP manufacturing. We remain on target to initiate clinical trials mid-2024.”

Final approval of the listing is subject to the Company meeting certain customary conditions required by the TSX. The Company will issue a press release once the TSX confirms the date when trading of the Common Shares is expected to commence on the TSX.

Upon completion of the final TSX listing requirements, the Common Shares will be delisted from the TSXV.

Shareholders are not required to exchange their share certificates or direct registration system advices, or take any other action in connection with the listing on the TSX, as there will be no change in the trading symbol or CUSIP for the Common Shares.
