Artelo Biosciences Retains Crescendo Communications, LLC for Investor Relations Services

Clinical-Stage Biopharmaceutical Company Engages Financial Industry Veteran

LA JOLLA, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 8, 2019 / Artelo Biosciences, Inc. (OTCQB: ARTL), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of therapeutics that modulate the endocannabinoid system, announced today that it has retained Crescendo Communications, LLC to provide investor relations services.

"We recognize the importance of enhancing our communications and broadening our exposure within the investment community," said Gregory Gorgas, Chief Executive Officer of Artelo Biosciences. "The rapidly evolving field of cannabinoid research and growth of enterprises engaged in cannabis-related activities has a risk of blurring the distinction with companies, such as Artelo that are pursuing fully-synthetic, non-cannabis derived ethical pharmaceuticals based upon the broad potential of modulating the endocannabinoid system."

"As we advance our drug compounds targeting cannabinoid receptors and endocannabinoid transport inhibition through the federally compliant regulatory approval pathway, it is important to clarify, that we are in no way associated with the cultivation, distribution, or sale of cannabis or cannabis related products. We look forward to working closely with Crescendo Communications to communicate the value of our approach to investors while we execute on key upcoming milestones," concluded Mr. Gorgas.

David Waldman, Chief Executive Officer of Crescendo Communications, further noted, "We are delighted to have been chosen and we look forward to working with Artelo to effectively communicate its story of having developed an attractive pipeline of product candidates targeting the endocannabinoid system."
