SeD in March 2017 named a senior management team for Global BioLife to spearhead
advanced research of a new universal therapeutic drug platform, known as Linebacker, to
combat a range of diseases including Alzheimer’s, diabetes and cancer.

The team is led by Dr Tang Peihong, Global BioLife’s Director and Chief Executive Officer who
was selected as National Distinguished Expert in China’s Thousand People Plan in 2012, and
includes Mr Daryl Thompson, a biochemist nominated for the Nobel Prize in 2015 and 2016 for
his research on pandemic technology.

Global BioMedical Inc. owns 70% of Global BioLife with the balance 20% held by Mr Daryl
Thompson’s GRDGS Sciences LLC (“GRDGS”) and 10% held by Australian-listed Holista
CollTech Limited (“Holista”).

Dr Moore said, "I have been following Daryl’s work in my role as Scientific Advisor of Holista.
The Linebacker project, which seeks to offer a universal therapeutic platform based on small
molecules, offers a potential game-changing breakthrough for the global pharmaceutical
industry."

GRDGS has assigned its biomedical intellectual property to Global BioLife. This includes
patents for its Linebacker platform, a synthetically universal therapeutic formula to treat and
prevent pro-inflammatory derived disease. Global BioLife will leverage on the existing research
findings of the natural compound, which has established therapeutic efficacy against neurologic
diseases, diabetes, and viruses including rhinovirus, influenza and Ebola.
