CHECK-CAP FOUNDER STRONGLY RECOMMENDS VOTING AGAINST THE KEYSTONE DENTAL MERGER AND FOR THE SYMETRYX BOARD OF DIRECTORS NOMINEES

TORONTO, Dec. 5, 2023 /CNW/ - Today, Symetryx Corporation ("Symetryx") once again encourages our fellow shareholders of Check-Cap Ltd. ("Check-Cap") (NASDAQ: CHEK) to review the news release issued by Yoav Kimchy, PhD, the Founder and former Chief Technology Officer, and shareholder, of Check-Cap, who has stated in an open letter to his fellow shareholders that the value of the Intellectual Property of Check-Cap was, in essence, disregarded and assigned no monetary value when valuing the Keystone Dental transaction.

Further to its news release of November 28, 2023, Symetryx continues to urge its fellow Check-Cap Ltd. ("Check-Cap") shareholders to VOTE AGAINST the Keystone Dental and FOR the Symetryx slate of highly qualified and independent director nominees. See Symetryx Today Issues Open Letter to Shareholders In Regard to the Upcoming Annual General Meeting (newswire.ca)

Symetryx is pleased to see that other stakeholders agree that the transaction with Keystone Dental DOES NOT provide the maximum value for shareholders. We once again urge all shareholders to reject the Keystone transaction by voting AGAINST Proposal #1, the Keystone transaction, and to support the Symetryx Board nominees by voting FOR each. Only with a new, independent Board, do we believe, that we shareholders will have the best opportunity to realize the full value of our investment and not give it away to Keystone's investors.

Symetryx has engaged Mackenzie Partners, Inc. to act as an advisor in this matter, we welcome shareholders to reach out to share their views or should they seek clarification on our own. Mackenzie Partners can be reached at 1-800-322-2885 or  [email protected]

Sincerely,

Symetryx Corporation
