VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lophos Holdings Inc. ("Lophos" or the "Company") (CSE: MESC), a Canadian bioscience company focused on regulated plant-based and controlled substance opportunities, announces that the British Columbia Securities Commission ("BCSC") has issued an order dated June 30, 2026 (the "Partial Revocation Order") partially revoking the failure-to-file cease trade order issued against the Company on September 5, 2024 (the "FFCTO") for failing to file certain outstanding continuous disclosure documents (collectively, the "Documents") within the timeframes prescribed by applicable securities laws.

The Partial Revocation Order permits the Company to conduct a financing on a non-brokered private placement basis (the "Proposed Financing"). The FFCTO continues to apply in all other respects.

According to the terms of the Proposed Financing, the Company intends to issue and sell up to 17,666,666 units (the "Units"), each Unit consisting of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a "Common Share") and one Common Share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant"), at an offering price of $0.03 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $530,000. Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.05 per Common Share for a period of thirty-six (36) months following the closing of the Proposed Financing.

Prior to completion of the Proposed Financing, the Company intends on consolidating its issued and outstanding Common Shares (87,984,673) on the basis of one post-consolidation Common Share for three pre-consolidation Common Shares (the “Consolidation”). The Consolidation would result in there being approximately 29,328,224 issued and outstanding Common Shares.

The Proposed Financing will be conducted on a prospectus-exempt basis to investors resident in Canada that are accredited investors and/or family, friends or business associates of the Company, and in the event any investors are located outside of Canada, in accordance with BCSC Rule 72-503 Distributions Outside Canada and applicable exemptions under applicable foreign securities laws.

In connection with the Proposed Financing, the Company may pay a cash fee or commission of up to 8% of gross proceeds raised to one or more registered dealers, as required.

The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Proposed Financing to bring its continuous disclosure record up to date, pay related fees and penalties, fund costs associated with the Proposed Financing and the Consolidation, satisfy operating expenses and working capital requirements during the period that the FFCTO remains in effect and maintain the continuity of the Company’s business until it can apply for a full revocation of the FFCTO.

Prior to completion of the Proposed Financing, each investor will receive a copy of the FFCTO and the Partial Revocation Order, and will be required to provide a signed and dated acknowledgement to the Company that all of the Company's securities, including the Common Shares issued in the Proposed Financing, will remain subject to the FFCTO until such order is fully revoked, and that the granting of the Partial Revocation Order by the BCSC does not guarantee the issuance of a full revocation order in the future.
