• The Emaginos approach is based on a goal of transforming K-12 public schools to a model composed of integrated proven best practices
• Young people are a source of creativity, innovation, and invention that will drive the economy
• The K-12 public education system in this country is a broken national treasure

Walt Disney has been quoted as saying, “Our greatest national resource is the minds of our children.” He’s not alone in that philosophy. The team at Emaginos has built a new educational approach based on the goal of transforming K-12 public schools to a model composed of integrated proven best practices and aimed at developing America’s greatest natural resource – its children “The only truly renewable resource we have in our country today is our students,” says Dr. Keith Larick, who served as superintendent of the Tracy Unified School District in Tracy, California, for years before starting Emaginos (https://ibn.fm/HjaNU). “Those young people who attend our elementary, middle, high schools, colleges and universities are the source of creativity, innovation and invention that will drive our economy and become guardians of our democracy. To thrive and grow, they must have a learning environment that provides a foundation of basic skills, is personal, and includes competence in problem solving and application of knowledge to relevant real life problems.” Emaginos is committed to creating that learning environment. While the company believes that America’s K-12 public schools are a national treasure, it also points to numerous studies that all reach the same conclusion – the K-12 public education system in this country is broken and cannot be fixed. The solution, however, isn’t as drastic as it may sound. The game-changing Emaginos model uses existing facilities, teachers, and administers and can be implemented within existing budgets using existing proven best practices. So what’s new? Just about everything else. Emaginos begins by transforming an initial school within the district to a charter school as a model for the transformation. The charter model implements the Emaginos Discovery Learning System (“DLS”) that outlines a systemic transformation from the current teacher-centered model to a K-12 public education system that fosters and supports a student’s desire to learn. After the model is successful in the charter school, the lessons learned in transforming the initial school are used to continue the change throughout the rest of the school district. Dedicated to transforming K-12 public schools to a model composed of integrated proven best practices, Emaginos opposes replacing public schools with charter schools or damaging public schools by draining resources through vouchers or school choice programs. Emaginos firmly believes in restoring the concept of the neighborhood schools as the center of the community. “It is time to stop wasting money patching and repairing a system that is obsolete,” states the Emaginos website. “It is time to transform the system, integrating the best practices available while discarding the sacred cows that have held back true reform.” It is time for Emaginos.

• Brain Scientific was featured in Neoscope, a publication of Futurism, a media company concentrating on the scientific and technological advances for the future
• Article details e-tattoo, BRSF’s solution that can capture big data in real-time about brain activity with possible applications in epileptic seizure predictions
• E-tattoo could prove invaluable to medical researchers studying neurological conditions or even developers building brain-computer interfaces for mind-controlled electronics, video games

Brain Scientific (OTCQB: BRSF), a commercial-stage medical device and software company focused on neurology, has been featured in Neoscope as a company that champions cutting-edge research pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the brain diagnostics field (https://ibn.fm/IOD55). Neoscope is the publication of Futurism, a New York City-based media company concentrating on the scientific and technological advances for the future. The article details Brain Scientific’s e-tattoo technology — a series of tiny electrodes stitched beneath the skin that can get a clear reading of neural signals in real-time. Although the e-tattoo could be used to develop brain-computer interfaces for virtual reality experiences or games controlled by neural signals or for mind-controlled electronics, the immediate use of this ground-breaking technology is primarily in the medical field. The feature reports that Brain Scientific is exploring possibilities to use big data collected through e-tattoo to study the neurological precursor of epileptic seizures in patients. Whether there exists a typical pattern of brain waves before seizures occur would be invaluable information for doctors and patients alike. Still, the question remains unresolved so far. The article cites that Brain Scientific’s e-tattoo, however, could be a game-changer. E-tattoo would give researchers access to the wealth of real-time neurological data collected over a long time, something not possible to recreate in a lab. “We are trying to predict when a seizure can happen,” Boris Goldstein, co-founder and executive chairman of Brain Scientific, told Futurism. “It is too still premature to say what the results will be, but these are more or less our goals: Just to predict when the seizure will happen so you can get medicine that might prevent it.” Neoscope continues with a detailed description of the e-tattoo in the piece. E-tattoo is virtually invisible — electrodes the size of a hair are embedded under the skin, while a microEEG, as small as a postage stamp, is hidden behind the patient’s ear. The article goes on to feature the graphene band, another brain diagnostics solution the Brain Scientific is currently developing. It can be imprinted onto the head like a “temporary tattoo” that can also read the same neural signals through the skin. Although less invasive and easier to remove, it will probably not provide the same level of access to the user’s brainwaves. It can be washed off with a special solvent instead of needing to be removed by a doctor, but herein lies its biggest flaw, too. Because it is not placed deep into the skin, it would not capture real signals only, which means that the data it collects would likely be affected by noise. With a wealth of neural signals collected in real-time, e-tattoo could prove invaluable to medical researchers studying neurological conditions and tech developers of the future building brain-computer interfaces. The article concludes that whatever findings emerge from the epilepsy research, this immense amount of neurological data is a real treasure trove bound to reveal new, to this day, unknown or unresolved secrets of the human brain. Redefining what is possible, Brain Scientific is determined to tackle critical challenges in neurology by bringing these breakthrough findings to patient’s neurological care.

• Nextech recently announced preliminary Q1 2021 results in which it reported over 200% increases in both revenue and gross profits compared to a similar period last year
• Nextech is targeting revenue of between CA$50-$60 million for FY 2021, and the company intends to reach this target by launching a number of new products
• Nextech had already launched some of the planned products in Q1 2021
• The preliminary results are likely indications of the influence of the fulfilled launches and that the company is on course to realize its targets

In a presentation to investors during the Virtual Investor Conferences earlier this year, Nextech AR Solutions (CSE: NTAR) (OTCQB: NEXCF) founder and CEO Evan Gappelberg intimated that the company was targeting revenue of CA$50-60 million for FY2021. To achieve this target, Evan delineated “catalysts” in the form of planned launches that would include an ad network, new major brands for its e-commerce division, new augmented reality (“AR”) technology that facilitates holoportation and a standalone AR room product (https://ibn.fm/xgz5c). As at the end of the first quarter of 2021, on March 31, the company had already launched its Ad Network and a holoportation feature on its AiR Show app that beams a live human hologram. Perhaps indicative of the influence these launches have already had on the company, the prevailing momentum towards realizing its targets for the full-year 2021, as well as the existing room for even more growth, Nextech reported promising preliminary Q1 2021 financial results on April 29 (https://ibn.fm/nKFY6). Per the unaudited results, Nextech’s estimated Q1 2021 revenue is up nearly 208% to between $7.5-$7.7 million compared to revenue of $2.5 million for a similar period in 2020. Further, the company’s gross profits for the three months ended March 31, 2021, are estimated at between $4.1-$4.3 million, representing an increase of 193-207% compared to the $1.4 million reported for Q1 2020. The preliminary value of total bookings for Q1 2021 stands at $2.2 million. “We are unique in that we are diversified with four fast-growing businesses, which all have a red thread of augmented reality connecting them, creating a major product differentiation and competitive advantage,” said Evan in a statement accompanying the preliminary results announcement. “We are strategically positioned with our AR, e-commerce and Inferno AR video conferencing and virtual experience business units to thrive in this new economy being led by a digital transformation across technology.” Evan observed that the present age had presented more business opportunities for sectors in which Nextech has a foothold, namely virtual conferences, virtual events, e-commerce, AR and virtual learning. This effectively means that the company should benefit significantly by capitalizing on these opportunities through the coming period. NTAR foresees the strong business trends in each of these sectors continuing through the second quarter of 2021 and beyond, underscoring that the subsequent reporting periods will possibly witness equally significant financial results and growths. Nextech expects to release the audited financial statements on or around May 13, 2021. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.NextechAR.com.

• Tryp Therapeutics is a pharmaceutical developer working to produce novel bioscience solutions, including a synthetic psychedelic drug candidate for treating some chronic pain and eating disorders
• Tryp CEO Greg McKee appeared on the Entrepreneur Magazine podcast “Action and Ambition” earlier this month to discuss lessons learned on his road to success and to highlight the company’s purpose in developing treatments for helping people be more whole
• Psychedelic drug therapies have been developing a growing fanbase, highlighted by California state Sen. Scott Wiener’s legislation this year seeking to decriminalize hallucinogenics
• McKee noted that many military personnel are using psychedelics in an effort to “reset” themselves following combat duty-related traumas, such as PTSD and phantom limb pain

The “Back to the Future” movie series mined comedic outcomes of time travel in its adventures, but the bioscience pharmaceutical developers at Tryp Therapeutics (CSE: TRYP) (OTCQB: TRYPF) are entirely serious in their efforts to bring back for future use psychedelic substances that once were used for varying purposes ranging from religious healing to recreational adventurism. “Obviously, psychedelics have been around for a long time,” Tryp CEO Greg McKee said during a podcast episode this month for Entrepreneur Magazine’s “Action and Ambition” show, which invites successful business executives to share their stories and lessons learned on the road to success (https://ibn.fm/DpiHh). “[Psychedelics] were used recreationally years back,” McKee continued. “Johns Hopkins has done a pilot work clinically to show that there’s activity in [using them to treat] depression and PTSD and there’s a lot of other academic institutions that are showing there’s probably activity and potentially utility in a whole bunch of other areas like neuropathic pain and eating disorders for example, right? So there’s probably…seven to 10-plus different therapeutic indications.” Tryp was founded in 2019 and is making a name for itself by mining the barely emerging psychedelics-for-medicinal-purposes sector of the lifestyle and wellness market as it advances two potential drug platforms — the mushroom-based psychedelic psilocybin for treating fibromyalgia, eating disorders and chronic pain conditions; and the cancerous tumor-inhibiting drug razoxane for treating soft tissue sarcomas. Tryp’s psilocybin product is a synthetic drug candidate named TRP-8802, administered orally. A 2018 study funded by the Heffter Research Institute and published in Science Direct found that there is low abuse and no physical dependence potential for psilocybin when used medicinally, concluding that the federal drug classification for it should be reduced from Schedule I to “no more restrictively than Schedule IV” (https://ibn.fm/40tss). Efforts to legalize psychedelic therapeutics along the same legislative pathway taken by cannabis advocates have found a growing number of supporters in recent years, including California state Sen. Scott Wiener, who has introduced a bill this year that would decriminalize select hallucinogens, including psilocybin (https://ibn.fm/ukONR). McKee told podcast host Phillip Lanos that one of his first introductions to the potential benefits of psychedelics arose from his acquaintance with some Navy Seals in Southern California who use 5-MeO-DMT (5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine), also known as O-methyl-bufotenin (https://ibn.fm/8bkWO). “And they swear by it,” McKee said, noting many military personnel in the area suffer from combat-related traumas and use the psychedelic for “a reset.” McKee said that his company’s formulation is different from 5-MeO-DMT but regardless of the chemical makeup, his hope is that psychedelics with potential therapeutic uses can end of gaining more mainstream use. “I’m really excited,” he told Lanos. “Anything that we can do…to enhance performance, or to take away pain, get people to reach their potential, I think it’s incredible and that’s one of the great things we can do in the biotech space.” For more information, visit the company’s website at www.TrypTherapeutics.com.

• Despite consuming 27% of the world’s uranium requirements, the U.S. produces virtually no uranium
• Texas-based Uranium Energy Corp. has more than 100 million pounds of uranium in the ground in its portfolio, in addition to 2.1 million pounds of warehoused physical uranium inventory
• UEC recently completed 40 development holes at its flagship Burke Hollow project, adding data to what potentially is the largest Goliad Formation deposit ever discovered in the South Texas Uranium Trend

Currently, U.S. uranium production is practically nonexistent: Most of the country’s requirements are from foreign sources with almost half coming from Former Soviet Union countries, including Russia, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan state owned enterprises. This is a supply/demand imbalance of epic proportion, considering the U.S. operates the largest fleet of nuclear reactors in the world and consumes about 27% of the world’s uranium requirements. For the first time in 48 years, politicians on Capitol Hill are lending bipartisan support to nuclear energy. Coupling national security exposures with federal mandates to implement additional clean energy, Uranium Energy (NYSE American: UEC) is further advancing its portfolio of uranium projects in the U.S. In December, an omnibus spending bill passed by Congress provided what UEC Chairman and former U.S. Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham called a “shot in the arm to the uranium mining sector” (https://ibn.fm/3C1QR). The bill put in motion an unprecedented 10-year, $1.5 billion program to establish a Strategic Uranium Reserve derived from domestic production. UEC, the owner of the largest resource base of fully permitted In-Situ Recovery (“ISR”) uranium projects of any U.S.-based producer in Texas and Wyoming, has more than 100 million pounds of uranium in the ground at its properties, as well as 2.1 million pounds of physical uranium inventory. As detailed recently by UEC President and CEO Amir Adnani at the H.C. Wainwright Spring Mining Conference, the strategic purchase of drummed uranium at approximately $30 per pound is expected to reap several benefits: bolstering the balance sheet as uranium prices appreciate; providing strategic inventory to support future marketing efforts with utilities that could compliment production and accelerate cashflows; and increasing the availability of our Texas and Wyoming production capacity for emerging U.S. origin-specific opportunities which may command premium pricing due to scarcity of domestic uranium. This month, the Corpus Christi, Texas-based company completed 40 development holes in the first production area – dubbed “PAA-1” – at its Burke Hollow ISR project in the South Texas Uranium Trend (https://ibn.fm/s1Emn). PAA-1 is the newest and largest ISR wellfield being developed in the U.S. The U.S. Geological Survey has recognized southern Texas as one of the least explored uranium belts in the country with the greatest potential, especially for low-cost ISR mining. Burke Hollow is part of the hub-and-spoke strategy utilized by UEC, including other permitted projects called Palangana and Goliad as well as two other projects (Salvo and Longhorn), all anchored by its fully licensed 2-million-pound per annum Hobson Processing Plant. All of UEC’s South Texas projects are located within relatively short trucking distances from the Hobson plant. The latest drilling at the 19,335-acre property provided insight as to the continuity of the uranium roll fronts and exceptional uranium grades within PAA-1. Several drill intercepts returned 2.45 – 4.48 grade thickness (“GT”), a level significantly above the 0.3 GT cut-off mark used in ISR resource estimation and wellfield development. Furthermore, the drilling program helped bracket the mineralization, which is critical in ISR, as monitor wells are drilled along perimeters outside injection and production wells. Of the 40 holes, 35% resulted in intercepts exhibiting GT values equal to or greater than 0.3, utilizing a cutoff parameter of 0.02% grade (pU308), highlighted by a cut of 27.5 feet grading 0.163 pU3O8 (4.483 GT). “The development of Burke Hollow, the only recent uranium discovery in the United States, continues to exhibit the potential to be the largest Goliad Formation deposit ever discovered in the South Texas Uranium Trend,” said UEC VP of Resource Development Andy Kurrus at UEC, in a press release on the results. The company’s drilling will continue with additional resource delineation test holes, followed by installation of approximately 45 additional exterior monitoring wells to accommodate the trend extensions, complementing the 76 monitor wells previously installed.

• Rising metal prices have led to an increased incidence of catalytic converter thefts from automobiles because of the minerals they contain
• While business security forces work to stem parking area vulnerabilities, California-based Knightscope is demonstrating the importance of its parking area-patrolling autonomous security robots (“ASRs”)
• One of Knightscope’s ASR robot models was featured in a report on a 9-acre Las Vegas apartment complex’s crime-ridden property, which has seen a drop in calls to police since the ASR was deployed
• The Las Vegas apartment complex managers said they were so pleased with the ASR’s performance they intended to order more Knightscope robots for other properties

The rising incidence of catalytic converter thefts from vehicles, particularly in Northeastern states, highlights one of the challenges of maintaining security vigilance against criminal activity on business properties. From Vermont (https://ibn.fm/R7bki) to Minnesota (https://ibn.fm/QVTCh) and down to North Carolina (https://ibn.fm/86bDZ), news agencies have picked up on reports the emissions control devices are being purloined for rare minerals such as platinum, palladium and rhodium. “This spring, there’s been quite the resurgence,” a Vermont police officer told news reporters. “Right now, our biggest problem is it happens to such an extent that a lot of the businesses don’t report it anymore. … It has gotten so out of control that we’ve had several reports of people trying to cut them off during the day. Usually it would be an overnight shift.” The North Carolina report noted questions had arisen about thefts from the hospital’s five parking decks despite the hospital’s claims its security force patrols the area and monitors for criminal activity. And Security magazine recently discussed parking deck concerns that go beyond thefts — the efforts to reduce the number of auto vs. pedestrian injuries and deaths when drivers are allegedly reckless, distracted or impaired in an environment where autos and pedestrians are in close proximity with sometimes low visibility (https://ibn.fm/cFjHm). While businesses can deploy security forces and station cameras strategically to help intercept crime, autonomous security robot (“ASR”) developer Knightscope has developed a solution that provides an unsleeping, ever-vigilant presence on business properties that may be subject to criminal activity or other types of emergency response incidents. Knightscope’s K series ASRs are capable of using machine learning and artificial intelligence developments to monitor for potential threats, record them, issue warnings, and transmit pertinent information to personnel operating data centers. One ASR model is stationary; two others also deployed to serve clients are mobile and can operate in indoor or outdoor environments, recharging themselves periodically and functioning without human intervention. In terms of intercepting parking area crime, their effectiveness was demonstrated by a Las Vegas Review-Journal report in March that noted a metropolitan apartment complex with a history of significant criminal activity had deployed one of Knightscope’s robots — the first such client in the Las Vegas area — and that the complex has now become “a quieter, more peaceful place to live” as calls to the police have fallen off (https://ibn.fm/UPrBM). “It’s been very useful in several ways,” apartment complex manager Carmen Batiz told reporters. “It can advise people when they are out past the 10 p.m. curfew and the four video cameras tend to make people avoid it. When we have vandalism reports we can go through the video and get a time frame of when it happened. It has a button so people can get human help quick in an emergency. … We have eight other properties and we’re definitely going to bring on more robots and even the Wynn (hotel resort-casino empire) had people come check it out.” For more information, visit the company’s website at www.Knightscope.com and if you have a need for subscription service you may request a private demonstration of the technology at www.Knightscope.com/demo.

• Innovative music fintech company BAND Royalty launched the first in a unique series of music fan non-fungible tokens (“NFTs”)
• Launch is May 5 at 5pm PST on OpenSea.io the largest NFT marketplace worldwide
• BAND’s NFTs allow fans to collect limited series digital artworks that colorfully represent the diversity of music, with the unique ability to then to turn these BAND NFTs through staking into potential revenue-generators that can access a pool platinum selling artists song revenues
• The BAND Royalty music catalog includes tracks from top artists including high-profile names such as Beyonce, Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake, Cher and Rihanna
• The company is building up to the launch of a new music label, BAND Music Chain Records, as part of its planned NFT blockchain ecosystem that will bring much needed innovation to the music business and align the interests of artists with their fans

Music fans who are passionate about their favorite artists can hardly wait to get online and rave about new releases when they come out, or pine for classics that never grow old when new inspiration is lacking. News about upcoming concert dates and random celebrity interview opportunities get consumed with relish, just like a delicious dinner with friends. It’s a form of emotional investment that has now found manifestation in a new type of collectable, a new market opportunity that grants fans access for the first time ever to a piece of their favorite artists songs as a royalty stream, thanks to entertainment tech company BAND Royalty’s breakthrough NFT music ecosystem that is set to bring needed innovation to the music industry. BAND Royalty is the company (operated by Singapore-based LIBERTY IS PTE LTD) that has just now rolled out the first in a series of only 3,000 music art non-fungible tokens (“NFTs”) on May 5 on OpenSea.io, giving the fans of artists such as Beyonce, will.i.am, Timbaland, Rihanna and others the first ever access to a unique type of NFT collectible that not only satiates that fan fervor for a connection with an artist, but for the first time can potentially provide the fan a way to earn money when that song is played, plus if the collectible NFT’s value rises or the music gets significant play rotation, as noted in a recent ONE37pm report (https://ibn.fm/k7Trt). “The [BAND Royalty] venture marks a new direction for NFTs,” the article states. “While much of the focus of the new technology has been on collecting and admiring beautiful artworks, BAND Royalty now allows fans to monetize their commitment. Not only are they able to build their collections, they’re also able to earn from them without having to sell them—and to get paid for their investment in their favorite musicians.” In other words these BAND NFTs are, in a sense, like the digital economy evolution of autographed movie posters or baseball cards with the added bonus of being royalty generating. Buyers will get to own (on a non-copyright basis) an original colorful, animated image that celebrates the diversity of music genres, which can then be directly owned, staked or traded. BAND NFTs come in a variety of rarities, from Vinyl Album NFTs to one-of-a-kind Diamond Albums NFTs. The lower the number of the BAND NFT artwork, the more rare it is (https://ibn.fm/8FEuP). Once the BAND NFT has been purchased, the holder can decide whether to “stake” it in one of the three BAND Royalty music pool options, across a range of time periods to access added revenue potential. The options for pooled royalties are from published of the music, from public and mechanical performances of the music, or from synchronization within different kinds of visual media such as film, advertisements or video games, across a range from 90 days to five years. The May 5 BAND NFT release contains the first 3,000 unique, trade-able representations of commissioning artists’ work in what will be a series of four such offerings during the coming months, totaling a maximum of 12,000 BAND Royalty NFTs. This first BAND NFT Series 1 will be available on May 5, the launch day, on a first-come, first-serve basis through the listing on OpenSea.io. Potential buyers seeking to secure a BAND Royalty NFT need at least 1 Ethereum available in a private ETH wallet (Metamask or Trust Wallet) in order to complete the transaction at OpenSea.

Moreover, the company offers AI-powered cloud-based sales management software packages that perform intelligent quality inspections and training to help clients monitor, access, and improve the performance of agents. The successes of Infobird’s multiple software solutions are anchored on its patented Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) application technologies, artificial intelligence (“AI”) and machine learning functionalities, proprietary cloud computing architecture, a no-code development platform and its many years’ experience. This, coupled with its commitment to its clientele captured in its mission statement, “to make your customer engagement smart and personalized,” has guided the company through the past years, helping it build a reputation as a premier provider of the various AI-powered software solutions. But for Infobird, it does not stop at that. The company is targeting market dominance (https://ibn.fm/QVywo), and the IPO can be seen as a step towards fulfilling this goal. In its final prospectus (https://ibn.fm/Vsi8t), IFBD emphasized continual innovation as a way of attracting new clients and retaining existing clientele. This underpins research and development as a crucial focus for the company. The prospectus also detailed that Infobird intends to increase its client base and market share by expanding its sales team, launching offline and online advertising campaigns, improving its website and social media accounts, enhancing its client lifecycle management, and continuing to organize and participate in forums and seminars. Further, IFBD is keen on expanding the AI and machine learning capabilities of its applications to facilitate a comprehensive customer engagement experience that is proactive and predictive. To achieve this, the software solutions will consolidate omnichannel and intelligent interactions with customers from telephone, email, social media platforms, websites and text messages throughout the whole customer journey, and predictions of their intentions and behaviors. The fulfillment of such strategies costs money, meaning the proceeds from the closing of the IPO provide the necessary impetus for the company to advance to the next phase of its operations, as outlined by its plans. With the stage already set for this advancement to occur, more revenue and profits are in view.

• Company changes name to reflect mission, business objectives
• TAAT common shares continue to trade under ticker TAAT on CSE
• Numerous benefits anticipated from potential uplisting to NASDAQ

TAAT(TM) Global Alternatives (CSE: TAAT) (OTCQX: TOBAF) (FRANKFURT: 2TP2) has officially changed its name from TAAT Lifestyle & Wellness Ltd. (https://ibn.fm/bOTjX). The company also submitted an application for its common shares to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, one of the three tiers of the Nasdaq Stock Market (https://ibn.fm/ce9pR). “Now that we have gained momentum in the USD $814 billion global tobacco industry, we have determined it to be important to ensure the most prominent identifying attributes of the company reflect our mission and business objectives,” said TAAT CEO Setti Coscarella. “Last week, we announced our Beyond Nicotine(TM) initiative based on reports that the Biden administration plans to take action to reduce nicotine content in tobacco cigarettes sold in the United States. “Our value proposition is built around offering a better alternative for smokers aged 21+, giving them the choice to keep the experiences they enjoy while leaving nicotine behind,” he continued. “With over 1.3 billion users of tobacco worldwide, we believe TAAT and its Beyond Tobacco base material are relevant globally, which led to our board of directors agreeing on the updated name.” For now, the company’s common shares will continue to trade under the ticker TAAT on the Canadian Securities Exchange, and no change was made to the company’s ticker symbol as a result of the name change. The request to uplist to the NASDAQ comes only a month after the company was upgraded from the OTCQB Venture Market to the OTCQX Best Market, the highest tier of markets operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. The company anticipates several benefits from its potential uplisting to NASDAQ, including additional opportunities to attract institutional and retail investors, and expanding its investor base to the United States and beyond; greater visibility for TAAT and its business activities and accomplishments, as well as its future growth strategy; possible increased liquidity; and enhanced overall market presence. TAAT Lifestyle and Wellness has developed TAAT, a tobacco-free and nicotine-free alternative to traditional cigarettes available in Original, Smooth and Menthol varieties. TAAT’s base material is Beyond Tobacco(TM), a proprietary blend that undergoes a patent-pending refinement technique causing its scent and taste to resemble tobacco. Under executive leadership with Big Tobacco pedigree, TAAT was launched first in the United States in Q4 2020 as the company seeks to position itself in the $814 billion global tobacco industry.
