Noveris Health Sciences Provides Corporate Update
Noveris Health Sciences Re-Engages R&D Partner on Psilocybin Pipeline Amid Stem Cell Pivot and Insider Sell-Off

Executive Summary
- Noveris Health Sciences re-engaged Applied Pharmaceutical Innovation (API) under a master services agreement effective May 27, 2026.
- The company will pay a $20,000 retainer and allocate a minimum of $100,000 for R&D consultancy through the end of fiscal 2026, with no minimum or maximum spend requirements.
- Management is evaluating transaction structures to acquire a 49% equity interest in Ell Stem Cells for $1 million USD, though no definitive agreement has been executed.
- Immediate corporate priority remains advancing the existing psilocybin IP portfolio and renewed API collaboration over stem cell initiatives.
Material Impact
- The $120,000 total commitment to API is immaterial relative to the $2.31 million raised in the March 2026 private placement.
- This announcement is a direct follow-up to the April 20, 2026 clarification that R&D activities were paused due to funding constraints.
- The market was already aware of the LIFE Offering proceeds and the strategic pivot toward stem cell distribution.
- The news does not introduce new capital, regulatory milestones, or commercial partnerships. It is an incremental operational update that aligns with previous guidance.
- Combined with the recent 99% reduction in former CEO Joshua Bartch's stake, the sentiment leans toward capital preservation rather than aggressive growth.
