Million.

Class A shares. It is expected that the investment will be
completed in late September 2022.

important to the Company’s operations as well as research and
development including its Class III medical device clinical
trial. We believe the investments signal continued confidence in
the long term and fundamental prospects of our Company and its
technology. We are entering into the critical Class III
medical device clinical trial at three well-known hospitals. The
successful completion of this clinical trial and obtaining a
Class III medical device license is very important to our
efforts to commercialize our cancer detection technology and
Company valuation. We believe we have a very strong innovation
track record in addition to the world’s largest multi-cancer
detection sample size (in the new generation cancer detection
technology space) according to a 2021 report by US marketing and
research firm Frost & Sullivan.”
