MONTREAL, QC--(Marketwired - Feb 4, 2014) - Sunshine Biopharma Inc. (OTCQB: SBFM), a pharmaceutical company focused on the research, development and commercialization of proprietary drugs for the treatment of various forms of cancer, today announced that it is continuing its efforts to re-domiciling the Company in Canada in order to capitalize on management's belief that by doing so, the Company will generate additional business expansion opportunities and gain access to financing programs available to Canadian corporations. On January 31, 2014, the Company filed an S-4 Registration Statement wherein it is attempting to re-domicile to Canada from Colorado.
"We are very pleased with the progress we have made thus far in our efforts to re-domicile the Company in Canada," said Dr. Steve N. Slilaty, Chief Executive Officer of Sunshine Biopharma. "We are anxious to complete the re-domiciling process as we have attendant growth and financing opportunities that we believe are available to us once we have completed this action. This is important for the Company's business strategy overall and for our Adva-27a anticancer drug candidate as we advance towards clinical trials for multidrug resistant breast cancer and pancreatic cancer."
