Nerium Biotechnology Provides Update on Status of its Annual Filings - Announces Reliance on Temporary Regulatory Filing Relief

SAN ANTONIO, April 30, 2020 /CNW/ - Nerium Biotechnology, Inc. (the "Company") is providing an update on the status of its annual consolidated financial statements, accompanying management's discussion and analysis and related certifications (collectively, the "Annual Filings") for the year ended December 31, 2019.

On March 23, 2020, the Canadian Securities Administrators published temporary blanket relief for market participants, which provides a 45-day filing extension for certain filings normally required to be made on or before June 1, 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Company is relying on the temporary exemption granted pursuant to section 7 of Ontario Instrument 51-502 Temporary Exemption from Certain Corporate Finance Requirements with respect to the requirement to file its Annual Filings as per sections 4.1 and 4.2 of National Instrument 51-102 Continuous Disclosure Obligations and section 4.1 of National Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers' Annual and Interim Filings. The Company expects to file its Annual Filings no later than June 12, 2020.

Until the Annual Filings are filed, management and other insiders of the Company are subject to a trading black-out policy that reflects the principles of section 9 of National Policy 11-207 Failure-to-File Cease Trade Orders and Revocations in Multiple Jurisdictions.

The Company confirms that, other than as previously disclosed in the Company's press releases, there have not been any material business developments since the filing of the its interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019.
