Marizyme CEO Delivers Business Update

JUPITER, FL - (NewMediaWire) - May 03, 2023 - Marizyme, Inc. ("Marizyme" or the "Company") (OTCQB: MRZM), today provided the following business update to the stockholders and the investing public from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, David Barthel.

I am pleased to bring you an update on the Company’s recent developments as well as Marizyme’s current business priorities and goals.

It has been some time since we have had the opportunity to share an update with you, and I am pleased to have the chance to do so now. The Company has continued to move forward with multiple initiatives and the team has been hard at work building a strong foundation for future success.

Over the past year, we made progress in our R&D and commercialization efforts and have several developments in the pipeline that we believe will drive growth in the future. We also raised capital and reduced expenses where possible. We believe that our focus on business priorities is beginning to show results.

In April, Marizyme passed its annual surveillance audit required to maintain its ISO certification and European Union (“EU”) CE marking for DuraGraft®, and is now actively preparing for EU Medical Devices Regulation (MDR) certification. The Company’s primary business priority continues to be working with the FDA where DuraGraft® is currently under review for authorization in the United States.

Additionally, the Company has substantially expanded its intellectual property (“IP”) position for DuraGraft® in the United States and around the globe and has recently been awarded, granted, and/or allowed patents for Krillase® and MATLOC related technologies.
