Telescope Announces Acquisition of Rights to Synthetic Psilocybin Research

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 29, 2021 / Telescope Innovations Corp. ("Telescope" or the "Company") (CSE:TELI) announces that it has signed an agreement with the University of British Columbia ("UBC") in which UBC has agreed to assign all interest in and to a provisional patent application related to the development of scalable synthetic psilocybin and other tryptamine compounds. The Company was also granted the option by UBC to acquire additional technological developments related to the patent application in the future.

In consideration for the assignment of the interest, and the grant of the option, the Company has agreed to issue 1,000,000 common shares to UBC at a deemed price of $0.99 per share. All shares issued to UBC will be subject to restrictions on resale for a period of four-months-and-one-day in accordance with applicable securities laws.

"We are excited to have come to this agreement with UBC allowing us freedom to own and continue developing our intellectual property." Said Jason Hein, CEO of Telescope. At UBC, Hein leads one of the largest organic chemistry research groups in Canada. Over the past year he has gathered an expert technical team to form the foundation of Telescope as a spin-out company. This team, including chemistry Nobel Prize laureate Prof. Barry Sharpless, has authored over 450 academic publications and 33 patents on molecular discovery, chemical manufacturing and commercial scale-up, and the role of automation, robotics, and AI in controlling pharmaceutical production. "UBC has been supportive of Telescope's growth through our spin-out process, and this agreement reinforces UBC's commitment to fostering a technology innovation ecosystem. We look forward to building on this foundation and delivering revolutionary applied science to address important chemistry challenges."
