OncBioMune
Acquires Vitel Laboratorios, Gains Two Revenue Generating Drugs, Robust Pipeline and Extensive Distribution Network
BATON
ROUGE, LA-(March 13, 2017) - OncBioMune Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (OTCQB: OBMP) ("OncBioMune" or the "Company"),
a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company engaged in the development of novel cancer products and a proprietary vaccine technology,
is pleased to announce the completion of its previously announced plans to acquire Vitel Laboratorios, S.A. de C.V. ("Vitel")
on March 10, 2017.
The
acquisition of Vitel is expected to transform OncBioMune into a revenue-generating international pharmaceutical company with a
more diverse product line with a particularly deep reach throughout Mexico, Central and Latin America, and relationships across
Europe and Asia. The acquisition of Vitel includes two drugs it licenses and sells in Mexico, Bekunis® for constipation and
Cirkused® for stress. Approved for sale in the fourth quarter of 2016, the two over-the-counter products have generate significant
sales that have exceeded Vitel's early projections. Vitel has a total of seven other products that are either already in
the registration stage or planned for launch later in 2017.
The
acquisition of Vitel includes its 50% ownership interest in Oncbiomune México, S.A. De C.V., a Mexican company ("Oncbiomune
Mexico"), an entity we jointly launched with Vitel in August 2016. Oncbiomune Mexico was launched for the purposes of developing
and commercializing our PROSCAVAX vaccine technology and cancer technologies in México, Central and Latin America ("MALA")
for the treatment of prostate, ovarian and various other types of cancer and includes a portfolio of owned products and licenses
with OncBioMune.
Vitel
founder Manuel Cosme Odabachian, an expert in drug licensing, development and marketing, will join OncBioMune as General Manager
of Global Operations and take over Mr. Kucharchuk's role as a member of our Board of Directors. In addition to overseeing
Vitel's Mexican operations, including the upcoming Phase 2/3 trial of ProscaVax for prostate cancer already in motion through
our Oncbiomune Mexico joint venture with Vitel, Mr. Odabachian will spearhead ongoing and future international negotiations to
further broaden our expanding portfolio, with a focus on drugs in advanced stages of development or already on the market.
"The
acquisition of Vitel is expected to add a great deal of value to OncBioMune and represents a major milestone that immediately
leapfrogs us years ahead in development, while providing cash flow to help fund development of our pipeline and commercialization
of even more products", said Jonathan Head, Ph. D., Chief Executive Officer at OncBioMune. "Bringing Vitel under our
umbrella gives us a formidable network and international presence that opens the door to a litany of possibilities towards meeting
our goals. Our mid-term plan is continuing to build shareholder value through the clinical development of ProscaVax in the U.S.
and Mexico, maintaining an aggressive position on growing our revenue streams through licensing/acquisition of additional drugs
for the international markets and positioning us to seek qualification for an listing on a national stock exchange".
"Additionally,
I am excited to work with Manuel as a new member of our leadership team", added Dr. Head. "His years of experience,
industry connections and history of tremendous successes will be invaluable in our efforts to regularly attain new milestones".
Vitel
has license agreements covering the Mexican market with Roha Arnzemittel, GmbH ("Roha") for Bekunis® (for constipation)
and Cirkused® (for stress), as well as licensing rights to the remainder of Roha's pipeline at Vitel's discretion.
Vitel
also has Mexican territorial rights through licensing agreements with; Kamada for KamRab® (for rabies), KamRho® (an Rh
immunization) and Glassia® (for Anti-D deficiency); Aqvida for Imatinib (for cancer), and other oncology products; QPharma
for Androferti (a male fertility drug) and is currently developing two innovative orphan drugs through their own research and
development
For
Mexico, Central and Latin America, Vitel has relationships that are expected to forge development and commercialization of several
products, including, Gem Pharmaceuticals for GPX-150 (for sarcoma); EOC Pharma for Telatinib (for first line oral gastric cancer
treatment); and Rational Vaccines for the first and only herpes Vaccine technology for the treatment of HSV-2 and HSV-1.
In
addition to its product pipeline and relationships, Vitel's network channel partners cover a wide range of drug development
and marketing. A sampling of relationships includes, CID Information Systems (marketing intelligence), Grupo Nichos (pharmaceutical
salesforce, demand generation), CeroGrados (pharmaceutical warehousing, and old chain), CRO's authorized by the COFEPRIS
and Regulatory Affairs parties that are authorized by the COFEPRIS for dossier build up and pre-inspection.
The
acquisition of Vitel is structured as an all-stock transaction. The current shareholders in Vitel will exchange their shares for
our newly-issued restricted common stock and voting preferred stock. Additional details of the acquisition can be found in the
Company's Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and on the OncBioMune website.
