("BetterLife" or the "Company") (OTCQB:BETRF / CSE: BETR / FRA: NPAT) provides the following information about certain promotional activities at the request of OTC Markets. The Company believes the promotional activity may have been a factor with respect to an increased price and trading volume concerning the Company's common shares that occurred on July 22, 2020 following the promotional activity. However, the increase in share price and volume during this period also corresponds with the CEO of the Company, Dr. Doroudian conducting various public interviews (on July 22, July 16, July 15 ) discussing the Company's Interferon based Covid-19 treatment. More significantly, media coverage of a recent successful Interferon based Covid-19 trial in the UK published July 20th, may also have been a major factor with respect to such increased price and trading volume on that particular day. BetterLife, can confirm that upon inquiry with its officers, directors, employees and controlling shareholders (defined as shareholders owning 10% or more of BetterLife's securities) that, though payment for the promotional materials are included in the compensation for services to National Inflation Association, they were in no way directly or indirectly involved in the creation or distribution for the promotional materials.
