About Regencell Bioscience As an early-stage bioscience company, Regencell Bioscience (NASDAQ: RGC) is a Hong Kong-based company focused on the research, development, and commercialization of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for the treatment of neurocognitive disorders and degenerations.
Regencell has become a leader that's spearheading forward as a global influence that looks to alleviate the unmet medical needs of millions of people around the world. Through their efforts, the company researches and develops treatments for ADHD and ASD patients and infectious diseases that affect the human immune systems.
On July 16, 2021, the company went public through an Initial Public Offering on the stock market with 2.3 million ordinary shares at a public offering price of $9.50. Over the last 12 months of trading, share prices have climbed by approximately 247.31% even though market conditions have been slowing since the start of the year.
Amid a flurry of investors now locking up high-yielding stocks as a way to secure their portfolios, RGC has solidified itself in the market, while spearheading the development and commercialization of TCM.
Humble beginnings lead to human ingenuity
Yat-Gai Au founded Regencell Bioscience so that more people can benefit from natural and holistic treatments with a goal to provide everyone equal access to such treatment for many years to come.
Throughout the last few years, several people have largely contributed to the overall success of RGC. James Chung (Chief Operating Officer) and Dr. Chao (Chief Medical Officer), who joined Regencell in 2015 and 2019, respectively, were inspired by their personal experience with TCM and the major improvements they saw on ADHD and ASD patients.
"For our company to remain true to what we believe in, and continue to head in the right direction, it's critical to have the right set of people with a shared value of interests. Our team develops programs and leads scientific trials to ensure our services and products are effective, safe and useful," shares Yat-Gai.
The company has grown to be more than just a research and development facility for the treatment of neurocognitive disorders and degenerations. "It's paving the way for extraordinary improvements in TCM to be mainstream. Why should only a small group of people or communities have access to these groundbreaking treatments?"
In a recent clinical study - EARTH Trial - results showed that RGC-COV19TM is an effective formula for the alleviation and elimination of COVID-19 symptoms within 6 days. This in return helps to reduce the risks of hospitalizations and death. The rigorous trials have shown the effectiveness of TCM and alternative medicine in a hyper-modern and tech-driven world.
Keeping it close and personal
Although the clinical studies completed by RGC will still need to be peer-reviewed in the coming months, there's been growing interest from the market as the company has built quite a reputation for its research and development (R&D) in the field of alternative medicine.
"We are a company that looks to make a difference where it's possible, and while our R&D may be limited to a few fields of interest, over time we'll be able to broaden our perspectives to more complex treatments," Yat-Gai briefly mentions.
Through its IPO, Regencell had net proceeds of $22.7. million, investments that helped grow the company's access to the tools and resources needed to fast-track clinical studies.
Since the company went public, Yat-Gai has noticed that short and distort organizations or individuals are starting to affect their stock price and sentiment. "Companies like ours are not given the opportunity to prove themselves since the culprits are driving down the value of smaller companies, causing the market and general public to lose its confidence. This causes damage to our company, particularly the patients, some who are desperate for a solution," he said.
To help mitigate the negative effects of such short-term schemes, Yat-Gai managed to purchase more than $5.9 million worth of ordinary company shares. To date, Yat-Gai Au is the majority shareholder, with an 81% stake in the company. This leaves around 19% of shares owned by other shareholders.
"To date, I have spent millions of my personal finances on purchasing RGC shares. My most recent purchase was worth $886,000 of RGC shares at an average price of US$39.48, increasing my shareholdings by 0.2%. I believe in the company and its future and intend to continue to put my money where my mouth is and increase my shareholdings."
Seeing as majority ownership is held within the company, oftentimes referred to as 'Insider Ownership,' it allows them to have better control over critical decision-making issues that can help fast-track the company's overall development goals.
"The decision to repeatedly purchase RGC shares over the last several months is to support and ensure the potential of the company can be met for years to come. We've vested a lot of time, energy, and resources in Regencell, and we're well aware of the potential difference it can make in the field of alternative medicine. I believe that as I lead the way our company will be able to meet the goals we've set out to achieve within the coming years."
The long-term transactions not only give the company better control over critical decision-making but enables them to boost investor sentiment.
