Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - March 9, 2026) - Hemostemix Inc. (TSXV: HEM) (OTCQB: HMTXF) (FSE: 2VF0) today announced that Thomas Smeenk CEO and Peter Lacey, Chairman are attending the 2026 Abundance360 Summit in Los Angeles this week.

Founded by futurist and entrepreneur Peter H. Diamandis, the annual Abundance360 Summit convenes leading entrepreneurs, and investors, working at the frontiers of biotechnology, artificial intelligence, longevity science, and other exponential technologies expected to reshape human health.

At this event, Hemostemix Inc. is describing ACP-01 (VesCell), as a regenerative treatment designed to increase health span via microvascular circulation, as it drives the growth of new blood vessels where the body signals that need. Improved tissue perfusion and vascular regeneration are increasingly recognized as fundamental drivers of healthy aging. ACP-01's ability to restore circulation has been detailed in 11 peer-reviewed publications studying patients with conditions including angina, ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM), dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), and chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI).

Mr. Smeenk and Mr. Lacey will meet with investors and longevity participants to discuss the opportunity to join Hemostemix as shareholders in its commercialization stage in Florida and The Bahamas.

"Abundance360 is an incredible event," said Thomas Smeenk, President and CEO of Hemostemix. "76% and 15% of Fountain Life members were found to have stage 1, or stage 2-3 coronary artery disease, respectively, after going trough the Fountain Life examinations. Peter Diamandis' motto 'do not die from something stupid' is obvious. The conversations about commercialization in Florida and The Bahamas are generating significant interest, as it is based on 498 treatments, seven clinical trials, and statistically significant improvement in heart function and circulation, which is the key to longevity," Smeenk said.
