VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 21, 2022 / Core One Labs Inc. (CSE:COOL), (OTCQB:CLABF), (Frankfurt:LD6, WKN:A3CSSU) (the "Company" or "Core One") is pleased to announce, as a follow up to the Company's press release dated March 20, 2022, wherein the Company announced that it was actively working to investigate investment and potential takeover opportunities by strategic psychedelics or pharmaceutical companies, that the Company's Board of Directors is now taking all necessary steps to prepare itself for acquisition.

Once a suitable offer has been received and an agreement is reached, the Company will update shareholders and the market and provide all necessary details of the transaction.

An acquisition has the potential to offer Core One and its shareholders with a unique opportunity to enter into new markets and product lines and could allow Core One to benefit from the strengths and synergies of an acquiror. This, in effect, could boost Core One's market share and bolster its competitive edge in the lucrative and rapidly-expanding psychedelic industry; especially, given the fact that an acquisition offers both companies access to bilateral exchange of fresh ideas, expertise and strategies from experts and specialists in scientific and financial departments of both businesses.

Over the past year, through its wholly owned subsidiaries Vocan Biotechnologies Inc (Vocan), Akome Biotech Ltd (Akome) and Awakened Biosciences Inc. (Awakened), Core One Labs has made major breakthroughs in the research and development, as well as production methods of synthetic and biosynthetic psychedelic compounds and their analogues. We expect these groundbreaking achievements to prompt enormous attention from financier and business. An acquisition of Core One may present the Company with access to larger amounts of capital, which could, in turn, support its further innovative advancements and enterprises in the psychedelic space.

"Core One's track record and outlook is appealing to many majors in the pharmaceutical and psychedelics market space, and these groups could significantly benefit from Core One's technological advancements and proprietary assets. This could spell long term prosperity for this business and also provide a return for Core One's shareholders, as we will only be considering offers that are in the best interest and favorable to all of our shareholders" stated Joel Shacker, Core One Labs CEO.
