We intend to leverage our deep and strong relationships in the pharmaceutical arena and invest wisely in manufacturing facilities, R&D laboratories and the robust drug pipeline under development at LipoSeuticals in order to build and grow a world-class pharmaceutical organization."

Dr. Nian Wu, founder and inventor of the Sulocence^® technology platform and the Company's Chief Executive Officer, stated, "I am extremely proud of the company that we have built over the course of the past five years with the help of the entire LSI team of scientists and staff. We are delighted that we now have the expertise and financial resources to build on LSI's solid foundation. Our Sulocence^® technology has tremendous potential for improving many drug products that currently suffer from poor solubility, stability, and side effects. We are confident that with the help of Delos' financial resources, experience and strong relationships within the Life Science Industry, we will achieve sustainable success."
