“This reverse stock split is an important step in BioCorRx’s corporate development, as we continue to execute on our operational strategy,” stated Lourdes Felix, COO & CFO of BioCorRx. “Our plans to move to a national exchange reflect our success in advancing our therapeutic pipeline, including our recent NIDA grant award of $5.7 million, the BioCorRx® Recovery Program, and the upcoming launch of our weight loss program.  Additionally, we believe this planned listing on NASDAQ will help support the creation of long-term stockholder value by attracting a broader, more diverse stockholder base, as well as providing an enhanced platform for potential M&A activity in the future. At this time, we would also like to express our gratitude to our current shareholders who have exhibited loyalty and patience as BioCorRx has undertaken this process to list onto a national exchange.”
