FendX Provides Letter to Shareholders

Oakville, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – June 19, 2023) – FendX Technologies Inc. (CSE: FNDX) (OTCQB: FDXTF) (FSE: E8D) (the “Company” or “FendX“), a nanotechnology company developing surface protection coatings to reduce the spread of pathogens, is pleased to provide the following letter to shareholders from Dr. Carolyn Myers, the Company’s President and CEO.

Dear FendX Shareholders,

I am delighted to provide an update on the Company’s achievements so far this year. As we reflect on the progress made over the first half of 2023, we want to express our gratitude for your continued support, which has been instrumental in achieving our goals thus far.

By obtaining a receipt for the Company’s final prospectus dated January 31, 2023, we fulfilled the escrow release requirement related to our previous subscription receipt financing and the subscription receipt funds of $4,001,400 were released to the Company, providing us with a strong balance sheet to support our corporate and development objectives over the year. With this achievement and funding, we were successful in having our common shares listed and commence trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the symbol “FNDX” effective March 20, 2023.

REPELWRAP™ film is our lead product under development and is a protective surface coating film that leverages the Company’s award-winning licensed nanotechnology. REPELWRAP™ film has demonstrated unique repelling properties that prevent the adhesion of bacteria and viruses, reducing their transmission on surfaces prone to contamination. We recently achieved an important milestone with the successful completion of testing of the REPELWRAP™ film at McMaster University and in April, we signed a development stage agreement with a manufacturer, Dunmore International Corp., a Steel Partners Holdings L.P. (NYSE: SPLP) operating company (“Dunmore”), to provide their engineering expertise to scale-up REPELWRAP™ film to create intermediate-sized films for testing. We are pleased to be partnered with a globally recognized expert in film manufacturing to advance REPELWRAP^TM film development with the goal of creating an automated manufacturing process for REPELWRAP™ film using their machinery which would ultimately lead to development of a commercial product.

We have also recently expanded our pipeline of products and our nanotechnology intellectual property portfolio to include a spray formulation. The Company signed an exclusive world-wide licensing agreement with McMaster in May 2023 to the spray formulation and related technology, which included a U.S. provisional patent application. This license agreement provides us with a development-stage nano-spray coating that demonstrates pathogen repelling similar to our REPEALWRAP^TM film, as well as killing properties against methylene-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (“MRSA”) and a COVID-19 related virus, Phi6. This is an important addition to our nanotechnology intellectual property portfolio and development pipeline as it has the potential to expand our market opportunities beyond high touch surfaces in healthcare and other high traffic applications.

To protect and support the development of new products, the Company is focused on growing its intellectual property portfolio, which it believes will be a significant factor to the Company’s success. We continue to file additional patent applications for our core technology licensed from McMaster and to-date we have filed over 10 patent applications to protect our technology.

We are pleased that our licensed nanotechnology continues to be recognized as innovative. Previously, REPELWRAP™ film won the grand prize of the “2020 Create the Future Design” contest, beating out approximately 750 entries from 60 countries around the world. This contest, launched in 2020 by Tech Briefs Media Group (publishers of Tech Briefs magazine), recognizes and rewards engineering innovations that benefit humanity, the environment, and the economy. Recently, our newly licensed spray technology also received recognition at the 4th International Conference on Materials: Advanced and Emerging Materials as well as at the 8th Nano Today Conference. In addition, in June our lead researchers at McMaster were awarded the McMaster Faculty of Engineering Entrepreneurship Award for their creation of the nanotechnology. Furthermore, both our film and spray nanotechnology have had their results published in several peer-reviewed journals.

We believe our products, once commercialized, could have global reach and market opportunities with numerous applications. As such, it was important that our capital markets strategy was developed to align and expand our investor reach and provide global visibility for the Company. Part of this strategy includes listing our shares for trading on other stock exchanges and markets. On May 30^th the Company’s common shares commenced trading on the OTCQB Venture Market under the symbol “FDXTF” and on June 1^st on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol “E8D”.

As we look towards the remainder of 2023, our focus is on continuing to advance our nanotechnology product pipeline and development of our products. So far, the Company’s product development pipeline includes the following:

1. REPELWRAP™ film repel version which is currently in intermediate scale-up development with Dunmore;
2. REPELWRAP^TM film repel/kill version which is a prototype under development with McMaster that we anticipate will enter intermediate scale-up work in the second half of this year;
3. spray formulation which is currently under development; and
4. coating for medical catheters which we anticipate commencing development work on to create prototypes using our nanotechnology.

We will be keeping you apprised of our progress through our news releases which can be found under the Investors section of our FendX website at https://fendxtech.com. Also, you can sign up to receive news releases straight to your inbox here.

I want to thank our employees, consultants and partners for their hard work and dedication to continuing to build our Company and advance our nanotechnology. We truly believe that our technology is timely with today’s global environment and recent COVID-19 pandemic which highlighted the need for new and innovative technologies to reduce the spread of pathogens.

I am proud of the company we are building and the results we have achieved so far. We are truly grateful for your continued support as we embark on this exciting journey together to make people’s lives safer by reducing the spread of pathogens.

Best regards,
Carolyn Myers
President, CEO, Director
