Tuesday, 01 December 2020 04:20 PM

Mosaic ImmunoEngineering Inc.

NOVATO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / December 1, 2020 / Patriot Scientific Corporation ("Patriot") (OTC PINK:PTSC) announced today that it has changed its name to "Mosaic ImmunoEngineering Inc.", (the "Company" or "Mosaic") effective immediately. In addition, the Company will change its stock symbol on the OTC Market to "CPMV" as described below and will effect a reverse stock split at a ratio of 1-for-500 (the "Reverse Stock Split") anticipated to be effective on or about December 2, 2020 (the "Effective Date"), at which time, the Company's common stock will trade thereafter on a post-split adjusted basis. The Company's corporate website is located at www.mosaicie.com.

"Mosaic's lead development platform has broad potential for the development of therapeutics and vaccines to address a wide range of diseases including cancer and infectious diseases with a primary focus on immuno-oncology." stated Steven King, president and chief executive officer of Mosaic. "Data and recent publications have already garnered positive interest from the biotechnology and pharmaceutical community which is an important part of creating value for our stockholders. We believe the name change to Mosaic ImmunoEngineering Inc. and the change in our capital structure are important next steps to making the Company even more attractive to a broader range of investors. We look forward to sharing more information on our development plans in the very near future."

About the Reverse Stock Split

The Reverse Stock Split will reduce the number of fully diluted shares of the Company's common stock currently issued and outstanding, including the number of shares issuable upon the conversion of Series A and Series B Convertible Voting Preferred Stock, from approximately 4 billion shares to approximately 8 million shares. Every 500 outstanding shares of common stock, which are outstanding on the anticipated effective date of December 2, 2020, will be combined into and automatically become one (1) outstanding share of common stock of the Company without increasing or decreasing the par value of each share of common stock. No fractional share will be issued in connection with the foregoing combination of the shares pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, the Company will issue to the Company's stockholders holding a fractional share of common stock one (1) additional share of common stock for each fractional share. Each stockholder's percentage ownership interest in the Company and proportional voting power remains virtually unchanged as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, except for minor changes and adjustments that will result from rounding fractional shares into whole shares.

In connection with the Reverse Stock Split, the number of authorized shares of common stock was reduced from 600,000,000 shares to 100,000,000 shares.

Stockholders who are holding their shares in electronic form at a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee will automatically have their positions adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.

Stockholders holding paper certificates may (but are not required to) send the certificates to the Company's transfer agent at the address given below. The transfer agent will issue a new share certificate reflecting the Name Change and terms of the Reverse Stock Split to each requesting stockholder.

About Mosaic ImmunoEngineering Inc.

Mosaic ImmunoEngineering Inc. is a development-stage biotechnology company focused on bridging immunology and engineering to develop novel immunotherapies to treat and prevent cancer and infectious diseases. Mosaic's core technology platform is based on Cowpea Mosaic Virus ("CPMV") which is non-infectious to humans or other animals but upon intra-tumoral administration, elicits a strong innate immune response resulting in potent anti-tumor activity against the primary and distant tumor sites. The broad potential of our lead candidate, MI-O-101, for the treatment of many different types of cancer and potential combination therapies continue to be supported by numerous publications and grant funding through our university collaborators. In addition, the core technology has a potential application as part of a modular vaccine platform which has already generated promising data in both cancer and infectious disease preclinical models, including COVID-19. The vaccine research is currently being performed by one of our co-founders and is funded by the National Science Foundation with viral neutralization testing being performed by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).
