Strategic Milestones and Key Developments

1. Activation of Direct-to-Consumer (“DTC”) Sites: On July 9, 2024, Promino activated its Rejuvenate Muscle Health™, www.rejuvenatemuscle.com, and Promino™, www.drinkpromino.com, DTC platforms, marking a pivotal shift towards capturing consumer demand directly via Shopify’s e-commerce platform. This strategic move allows the Company to engage with customers in both the U.S. and Canada, establishing a direct revenue stream that is expected to become a meaningful contributor to overall sales by late 2024 and beyond.

2. Product Availability and Expansion in Retail: Following the June 24, 2024 announcement of receiving 65,000 new units of product, the Company ensured its U.S. and Canadian warehouses were fully stocked to meet growing demand. The distribution of our products into prominent e-commerce platforms and retail stores included:

• Vitacost Partnership: On August 12, 2024, both the Promino™ and Rejuvenate Muscle Activator™ products were featured on Vitacost.com, a leading e-commerce retailer owned by The Kroger Co. With millions of global shoppers visiting the site annually, this partnership provides increased exposure to an expansive customer base.

• Jean Coutu Distribution: On August 21, 2024, the Rejuvenate Muscle Activator™ drink mix, available in Raspberry Burst and Citrus Blast, was shipped to nearly 300 Jean Coutu stores across Canada, expanding our presence in Quebec, New Brunswick, and Ontario.

3. International Expansion and Patented Innovations: In September 2024, Promino secured international exclusivity for the use of its patented amino acid blend in the ready-to-drink (“RTD”) marketplace, positioning the Company for expansion into this fast-growing sector. Additionally, we completed research and development for the RTD versions of both Rejuvenate Muscle Activator™ and Promino™, with plans to launch one or both products in 2025. The Company is also exploring new product lines targeting the healthcare and practitioner markets, utilizing its proprietary blend to address a wide range of nutritional needs.

4. Scientific Advancements and Expert Advisory Team: Promino continues to strengthen its scientific and medical expertise:

• Dr. Mark Lindsay joined the Company as an advisor on March 27, 2024. A world-renowned chiropractor and soft tissue specialist, Dr. Lindsay’s expertise is invaluable as we expand into the sports and fitness markets.

• Dr. Patrick Gunning was appointed as a special advisor on May 8, 2024. Dr. Gunning, a leading medicinal chemist, has initiated pre-clinical studies on Promino™ and its potential to mitigate muscle loss in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. His involvement underscores Promino’s commitment to advancing health solutions for a broad spectrum of consumers.

• New Patent Research: The Company announced on September 9, 2024 the latest clinical study on its core licensed IP that equates one 3.6 gram serving of Rejuvenate™ with the muscle-building power of 40 grams of whey protein isolate.

Financial and Market Outlook

Promino’s performance has been buoyed by robust product placements, strategic partnerships, and an expanding global market. With a strengthened DTC infrastructure and growing retailer partnerships, the Company is poised for continued revenue growth in late 2024 and into 2025.
