Regencell Bioscience Holdings Limited
We are a holding company
incorporated on October 30, 2014 under the laws of the Cayman Islands, and conduct our business in Hong Kong through our wholly-owned
subsidiary, Regencell Bioscience Limited, a company incorporated in Hong Kong on May 12, 2015, and Regencell Limited, a company incorporated
in Hong Kong on November 20, 2014. We are an early-stage bioscience company that focuses on research, development and commercialization
of Traditional Chinese Medicine ("TCM") for the treatment of neurocognitive disorders
and degeneration, specifically Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder ("ADHD") and
Autism Spectrum Disorder ("ASD"), as well as infectious diseases affecting people's immune system such as COVID-19.
Our goal is to save and improve the lives of the patients, their families and caregivers and become a market leader for natural and holistic
treatments for neurological disorders and infectious diseases globally.
Our TCM formulae candidates are derived from a
TCM base formula and an adjustable formula developed by Regencell's strategic partner, TCM Practitioner, Mr. Sik-Kee Au, based on
his TCM brain theory, known as "Sik-Kee Au TCM Brain Theory " ("TCM Brain Theory"), and have been
demonstrated to reduce severity in patients' ADHD and ASD conditions, as reflected in lower Autism
Treatment Evaluation Checklist ("ATEC"), Gilliam Autism Rating Scale ("GARS"), Vanderbilt ADHD Diagnostic Parent
Rating Scale ("VADRS") and Swanson, Nolan, and Pelham (SNAP)-IV 26-item Parent Rating Scale ("SNAP-IV-26")
assessment scores, using the personalized TCM formula in our first research study and standardized TCM formula in our second research
trial. The activity and specificity of the TCM base formula have been optimized by the TCM Practitioner in his prior ADHD and ASD treatments.
As of the date hereof, the TCM Practitioner has standardized the adjustable formula into three Fixed Adjusted Formulas for mild, moderate
and severe ADHD and ASD conditions. The TCM Brain Theory is not recognized in general literature of TCM or elsewhere. However, the TCM
Practitioner has prescribed the TCM formula based on his TCM Brain Theory for over 30 years to treat ADHD, ASD and many neurological illnesses,
disorders and degeneration and obtained satisfactory clinical treatment results. Such clinical treatment results are not supported by
controlled clinical data or trials.
We aim to launch three standardized liquid-based
TCM formulae candidates for mild, moderate and severe ADHD and ASD patients in Hong Kong first and subsequently to other markets as we
deem appropriate. Since March 2021, the TCM practitioner has started to develop a TCM treatment
formula targeting COVID patients.
2, 2021, Regencell Bioscience Limited ("Regencell HK"), a Hong Kong company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Regencell Bioscience
Holdings Limited (the "Company"), entered into a joint venture agreement (the "JV Agreement") with Honor Epic
Enterprises Limited ("Honor Epic"), a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, to form a joint venture, Regencell
Bioscience Asia Limited, under the laws of Hong Kong (the "Joint Venture"). Regencell HK and Honor Epic plan to work together
to make this treatment available in the ASEAN countries, India, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. The principal business of the JV will
be to trade, manufacture, market and distribute TCM formulae products to enable, provide or support the treatment of COVID-19 using TCM
in the ASEAN countries, India, Japan, Australia and New Zealand.
