Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 9, 2020) - CVR Medical Corp. (TSXV: CVM) (OTCQB: CRRVF) ("CVR Medical" or the "Company" or "we" or "us" or "our") a Canadian listed and US based healthcare company in the medical device sector announces, effective immediately, Dr. Dallas Hack has resigned from the Company as a result of "Material Differences with the Board of Directors, the ongoing related party, common control and conflicts of interest with its former CEO and CVR Global Inc. ("CVR Global" or "Global") all of which continue to hamper the Company's ability to raise capital." Dr. Hack has served as the interim CEO, CFO and also as a Member of the Board of Directors. Additionally, the company has ceased dialogue with certain former members of the management team and board who resigned in 2019, who have been negotiating on behalf of an investment group looking to fund and revive the company. Dr. Dallas Hack, has worked tirelessly and heroically since assuming these roles, at a great financial sacrifice, and has loaned the company almost USD$100k in order to pay for its limited ongoing operations. Wayne Hellman and Joel Kanter notified Dr. Hack of the Termination of the Non-Binding Term Sheet which was executed on November 25, 2019 by them on behalf of the investor group, CVR Medical, CVR Global and its former CEO. A brief summary of those terms and conditions of the Non-Binding Term Sheet are as follows:

  • Former CEO to receive USD $10,000 per month for 24 Months as Severance
  • 25M Shares of CVR Medical to be released from escrow (subject to 3-year Lock-up on all 36.6M Shares held by Global)
  • Upon achieving FDA approval and achieving Sales, a Royalty of 7% on all Device Sales (less discounts) and a Royalty of 3% on all consumable sales (less discounts) was to be paid to Global
  • CVR Medical would only be responsible for any AP accrued on its own books and would not assume any of the AP (USD$4M) on Global's balance sheet. Medical would negotiate in good faith on a case by case basis with all creditors on terms acceptable to Medical offering no assurances that any amicable agreement with each creditor could be met.
  • Medical would negotiate with all former consultants, contractors and employees it wanted to hire and contract with each on terms and conditions acceptable to CVR Medical.
  • Medical would control all manufacturing (inclusive of Canon and identified sub-component sub-contractors), engineering, IP and patents, clinical trials, regulatory, sales and marketing (both domestic and international) and FDA matters necessary to bring the CSS to commercialization. Global would cede all operational control of the CSS for its intended market of use (Carotid Arterial Health - Stroke) to Medical.

The termination of the Non-Binding Term Sheet between the parties and the resignation of Dr. Hack come after receipt of the fourth iteration of the Definitive Agreement and License Agreement which was expected to contain the legal language necessary to support the terms and conditions mutually agreed upon in the Non-Binding Term Sheet. Upon review, it was determined by Dr. Hack that the terms and conditions in this fourth iteration would be unacceptable to the former officers and directors as well as the investment group as many of the conditions would render the company unfundable in his opinion.
