VANCOUVER, March 19, 2018 /CNW/ - Cognetivity Neurosciences Ltd. (the "Company" or "Cognetivity") (CSE: CGN) is pleased to announce that the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE") has accepted the Company's listing application to list its common shares on the CSE. The Company's common shares (the "Common Shares") have begun trading today on the CSE under the ticker symbol "CGN".
Cognetivity's proprietary cognitive testing platform - the Integrated Cognitive Assessment (ICA) – is a technology designed to monitor and provide ultra-accurate early screening for dementia and other related conditions. The platform has been developed using cutting-edge neuroscience and utilizes Artificial Intelligence, which together give it the potential to detect exceptionally early signs of impairment.
In October 2017, the Company raised gross proceeds of C$4.17 million through a non-brokered private placement.
"Cognetivity's listing on the CSE represents the culmination of a lot of hard work by an exceptional and dedicated team who believe in the considerable potential of our technology and who have taken it from its origins at the University of Cambridge to where we are today." commented Dr. Sina Habibi, CEO and Director of Cognetivity. "Dementia is a significant and fast-growing issue with a global cost expected to rise above a trillion US dollars this year. The type of early detection we are pioneering comes with the potential to dramatically cut the cost of care and improve the quality of life for sufferers. With our recent financing we have a very strong foundation now in place and are committed to fully executing our clinical and commercial development plan over the coming months."
The Company has granted 3,600,000 incentive stock options under the Company's stock option plan to certain directors, officers and consultants. The options are exercisable at a price of $0.25 for a period of five years from the date of grant.
