PROVECTUS BIOPHARMACEUTICALS, INC. REFUTES INACCURACIES IN SEEKING ALPHA ARTICLE
KNOXVILLE, TN, May 21, 2014 It has come to the attention of Provectus Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE MKT: PVCT)
(http://www.pvct.com), a development-stage oncology and dermatology biopharmaceutical company (the Company or Provectus), that an article was published on seekingalpha.com on May 21, 2104, which contains numerous
inaccuracies and misstatements about the Company. Without attempting to address every false statement and inaccuracy contained in the article, the Company wishes to address some of the misinformation with the following facts:
|
|
|
The article alleges that the Companys oncology drug PV-10 appears to have failed their Breakthrough Therapy Designation. This statement is completely false. The FDA has not reported back to the Company
with respect to the Companys application for Breakthrough Therapy Designation. |
|
|
|
The article indicates that Provectus is connected to questionable stock pumpers promoting PVCT including Small-Cap Street LLC. To the contrary, Provectus is not connected in any way to Small-Cap Street LLC
or any other similar promoter. |
|
|
|
The article indicates that Provectuss patents begin expiring in 2016. In actuality, the most important patent with respect to PV-10 does not expire until 2031, and of the eight patents that expire in 2016, none of
the patents relate to PV-10; seven of the patents relate to medical devices and one relates to dermatology. |
|
|
|
The articles summary concludes by saying PVCT appears extraordinarily overvalued with ~$750 MILLION fully diluted valuation. I believe fair value is closer to $0 and outline why in this report. Because
the article is based on numerous inaccuracies, this belief is unfounded. |
About Provectus Biopharmaceuticals, Inc.
Provectus Biopharmaceuticals specializes in developing oncology and dermatology therapies. Its novel oncology drug PV-10 is designed to selectively target and
destroy cancer cells without harming surrounding healthy tissue, significantly reducing potential for systemic side effects. Its oncology focus is on melanoma, breast cancer and cancers of the liver. The Company has received orphan drug designations
from the FDA for its melanoma and hepatocellular carcinoma indications. Its dermatological drug PH-10 also targets abnormal or diseased cells, with the current focus on psoriasis and atopic dermatitis. Provectus has recently completed Phase 2 trials
of PV-10 as a therapy for metastatic melanoma, and of PH-10 as a topical treatment for atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. Information about these and the Companys other clinical trials can be found at the NIH registry,
www.clinicaltrials.gov. For additional information about Provectus please visit the Companys website at www.pvct.com or contact Porter, LeVay & Rose, Inc.
