BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON--(Marketwire - September 30, 2009) - Caleco Pharma Corp. (the “Company”) (OTCBB: CAEH)(FRANKFURT: T3R)(WKN: A0N9Y0) is pleased to announce a corporate update with respect to its business activities. Over the course of the past 60 days, several meetings and presentations have occurred between the Company’s management and various corporations, private and public, to further the development of our proprietary technology known as our “Liver Health Formula” and the expansion of our marketing and commercialization efforts of our Liver Health Formula.
As a result of these meetings, we have identified several business opportunities. As previously announced, we signed a letter of intent (the “Letter of Intent”) with Puleva Biotech S.A. (“Biotech”), a publicly listed Spanish Corporation engaged in the business of research, development and commercialization of health related products. The Letter of Intent sets out the terms of a proposed license agreement whereby we have agreed to acquire an exclusive license to market and exploit Biotech’s patented probiotic bacteria product known as Hereditum in the United States, Canada and Mexico. We have also submitted proposals to form alliances in order to provide for the development and distribution of products derived from our Liver Health Formula.
We plan to provide further corporate updates to our shareholders and the investment community upon our forming additional relationships and completing additional letters of understanding. We will continue to explore adding industry professionals and experts who have experience in the areas of clinical research, product development, marketing and distribution to our Board of Directors and will continue to seek out strategic relationships with these individuals. We plan on continuing the development of our proprietary technology as naturally sourced health supplements and for dermatological applications.
