Vancouver, B.C. – June 2, 2022 – Origin Therapeutics Holdings Inc. (the “Company” or “Origin Therapeutics”), an actively managed, psychedelics industry-focused investment issuer, is pleased to announce that it has received approval to list its common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE“). The common shares will commence trading under the trading symbol “ORIG” on June 6, 2022.
“The psychedelics sector has the potential to be very disruptive,” said Alexander Somjen, CEO of Origin Therapeutics. “We created Origin Therapeutics to give retail investors access to a diversified portfolio of high-growth potential, vetted companies that we believe are leading in the sector, many of which are not yet publicly traded, and therefore would otherwise not be accessible to retail investors.”
Origin Therapeutics is led by an experienced team that actively manages its investments through board representation and/or advisory roles to support their growth and success. The Company’s portfolio currently includes:
- Dimensions Health Centres Inc. (wellness retreats)
- Xpira Pharmaceuticals Inc. (drug discovery)
- MicroDose Psychedelic Insights (media & entertainment)
- Tripsitter Clinic Corp. (medical clinics)
- Ocean Bio Ltd. (drug discovery)
“We evaluate the companies we invest in based on the caliber of their founders and management team, market opportunity and business model,” added Somjen. “We are continuously doing analysis on the industry and evaluating new companies in the sector and will continue to assess opportunities while driving the success of our current portfolio.”
For further information concerning the Company and its business, please see the long form prospectus dated May 11, 2022 (the “Prospectus”) supporting its application for listing on the CSE. A copy of the Prospectus was filed under the Company’s profile at www.sedar.com.
