PreveCeutical Announces Incorporation of Australian Subsidiary to Support Ongoing Research Programs

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 16, 2018) - PreveCeutical Medical Inc. (CSE: PREV) (OTCQB: PRVCF) (FSE: 18H) (the "Company" or "PreveCeutical"), announces the incorporation of its first Australian wholly-owned subsidiary, PreveCeutical (Australia) Pty Ltd, as part of an expansion of the Company's business in Brisbane, Australia. PreveCeutical's new Australian team, led by Director of International Operations, Dr. Maher Khaled, will work closely with the Company's Chief Research Officer, Dr. Harry Parekh, to advance the development of the Company's therapeutic technologies.

The decision to incorporate the Company's first subsidiary in Australia was influenced by Australia's strong foundation of academic and clinical research, as well as the Australian government's commitment to supporting innovation through a range of programs and incentives. Such incentives include the research and development (R&D) tax incentive, whereby the Australian government encourages companies to engage in R&D benefiting Australia by providing a tax offset for eligible R&D activities. The current annual refundable tax offset under the program is 43.5%.

Commenting on the announcement, Dr. Khaled stated, "Establishing a business presence in Australia will allow PreveCeutical to better access expertise and partnerships for its drug development programs. Many specialized Australian hospitals have strong clinical trial capabilities as well as the diverse patient populations needed for the range of products PreveCeutical is currently developing. Combined with Australia's favourable regulatory regime for clinical trials, these benefits make Australia an attractive location for product development in preparation for commercialisation through the Company's established North American networks".
