Applied BioSciences Announces Retirement of Convertible Note

LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / March 19, 2020 / Applied Biosciences Corp. (OTCQB:APPB), a vertically integrated company focused on the development and commercialization of novel, science-driven, synthetic cannabinoid therapeutics/ biopharmaceuticals that target the endocannabinoid system to treat a wide-range of diseases across multiple therapeutic areas, today announced the retirement of $500,000 of convertible investor debt, simplifying the Company's capital structure as it positions for growth.

"The elimination of variable rate, floating price, convertible notes have strengthened our balance sheet and simplified our capital structure as we position the company for growth," commented Chris Bridges, President and Director of Applied Biosciences. "As we continue to expand product portfolio and expand our clinical pipeline, this is an important step to position the Company for a possible up-listing to a national securities exchange in the near future."
