Pivot Pharmaceuticals Obtains Receipt from BCSC for Final Non-Offering Prospectus

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 1, 2017 / Pivot Pharmaceuticals Inc. (OTCQB: PVOTF) (“Pivot” or the “Company”), an emerging biopharmaceutical company engaged in the development and commercialization of therapeutic pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals, is pleased to announce that the Company has filed and obtained a receipt for its final non-offering prospectus from the British Columbia Securities Commission (the “BCSC”). The final prospectus contains important information relating to the Company and its currently issued securities and is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Pivot received conditional approval from the CSE for the listing of the Company’s Common Shares on November 17, 2017, subject to the completion of customary requirements of the CSE, including the receipt of all required final documentation. The CSE provides “a modern and efficient alternative for companies looking to access the Canadian public capital markets.” As a “Designated Stock Exchange” all securities on the CSE are both RRSP and TFSA eligible. Pivot’s Common shares will continue to trade on the OTCQB.

Led by an experienced team of pharmaceutical executives, Pivot continues to expand its intellectual property portfolio of drug delivery technologies for cannabinoids, resulting in the industry’s largest portfolio of healthcare therapeutics. The Government of Canada’s proposed new cannabis regulations will accelerate the execution of Pivot’s business strategy and the Company will seek all applicable licenses. Pivot’s Board of Directors announces that it has decided not to proceed with the acquisition of Absorbent Concepts Inc.
