NSX:VTL) is pleased to announce that it has agreed revised terms with cornerstone investor Mr Aiden Jiang for the draw down of $1,500,000 from a previously agreed convertible loan facility. The receipt of the funds is expected to be in $200,000 increments every two weeks starting the week commencing 11 October 2021.

VTL's CEO and Managing Director, Dr Glenn Tong said "We are very appreciative of the strong support that our cornerstone investor, Mr Aiden Jiang, has continued to show the Company. This is a critical stage of our growth when our two nutraceutical products, NE1-Elite(R) and NE1-Heart(R), are being launched in the US and we are expecting to commence our NAFLD/NASH Phase II clinical study in Q4 of 2021 and our Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Phase II clinical study in Q1 of 2022. Mr Jiang's support will accelerate our progress towards some key inflection points such as the first sales of nutraceuticals in the US and Phase II clinical data readouts in the next 18 months."
