NEW YORK, February 7, 2019 — Q BioMed Inc. (OTCQB: QBIO), is providing this response at the request of the OTC markets inquiry into recent expanded investor awareness activities undertaken by the Company.

Expecting several corporate developments and news events, the Company’s investor relations consulting firm engaged a new sub-contracted service provider on January 1, 2019, to assist in presenting the Company to a broader audience. The third-party service provider, Platinum Vlll Investment and Media LLC, has several outlets that it contracts with to provide visibility to its clients, including the Company, using its various subscriber bases. The Company first became aware of third-party promotional content on January 17, 2019. Neither the Company nor any of its officers, directors, management and scientific consultants or controlling shareholders had any editorial input into any of the content created by any third-party providers. While the Company has not seen and cannot validate all claims made by all unrelated parties, those that have been brought to our attention by OTC Markets do not appear to have any materially false or misleading statements and rely on historical public information, previously made statements, independent analyst reports and Company issued press releases. We assume that the increased exposure has resulted in some increase in the trading volume of the our stock, however, it is not unusually high and is within our typical trading averages over the last twenty-four months.

To our knowledge and after inquiry by management, none of our officers, directors, insiders, control persons or third-party contractors have sold or purchased any shares in the open market in the last 90 days.

Over the last 12 months, we have engaged the following firms:

  • Cayvan Consulting
  • Acorn Management Partners
  • Infinite Growth Concepts
  • Corporate Profile
  • Financial Buzz Media
  • Proactive Investors Inc.
  • Investing News Network
  • Chedwick Marketing
  • Landon Capital
  • JV Public Relations

As requested by the OTC Markets, below is a summary of any shares or convertible instruments allowing conversion of equity securities at prices constituting a discount to the current market rate at the time of issuance:

On September 21, 2018, Q BioMed Inc. entered into a securities purchase agreement with an accredited investor (YA II CF, Ltd.) to place convertible debentures with a maturity date of eighteen months after the issuance thereof in the aggregate principal amount of up to $4,000,000. The first closing transaction occurred on September 21, 2018 when we issued a debenture for $2,000,000. The second closing occurred on November 1, 2018 when we issued another debenture for $2,000,000 (collectively, “YA Debentures”). The YA Debentures bear interest at the rate of 5.5% per annum and the Company paid an upfront fee equal to 2.5% of the amount of the debentures, which amount was deducted from the proceeds.

The YA Debentures may be converted at any time on or prior to maturity at the lower of $4.00 or 93% of the average of the four lowest daily volume weighted average price during the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion date, provided that as long as we are not in default under a YA Debenture, the conversion price may never be less than $2.00. An effective registration statement on Form S-1 covers the conversion shares. As of today's date, no conversions have been made and the total $4,000,000 is outstanding.

Q BioMed endeavours to provide accurate updates and relevant information through our news releases. We encourage all investors to do their own due diligence when investing in any stock and suggest that they rely more on Company issued releases and SEC filings rather than any third party source.
