DEAR SHAREHOLDERS:FRISCO, TX - (NewMediaWire) - April 19, 2021 - Verde Bio Holdings, Inc. (OTC: VBHI) To Our Valued Friends and Shareholders:We hope that you and your families are safe and healthy during these times. We wanted to provide you an update about Verde Bio Holdings:Verde Bio Holdings is executing on its business strategy by acquiring revenue producing undervalued properties. “Guided by our strong management and deal flow network we have built a solid pipeline of deals and are accumulating a portfolio of revenue producing properties,” Scott Cox, CEO, states. “There are amazing acquisition opportunities available at present.“Our Reg A+ Tier 2 Offering was initially qualified by the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission on 01/19/2021. Our original goal, as detailed in our first filing, was to raise $14,500,000, which is what we believed to be an amount to get us to a self-sustainable critical mass. We have since reduced the total cap raise to $10,000,000, as we are experiencing better results with the higher oil and gas prices and our ability to acquire assets at less expensive prices. We will raise this amount under our current pricing structure or through an amended higher offering price and will then close the Reg A offering once the $10 million is raised. With our acquisitions to date and the other properties we have identified, we believe that we can reach at least $200,000 per month in revenue and approximately $25-$30 million in asset value. “To date, we have entered into tendifferent transactions. Highlights of these acquisitions are below and all acquisitions to date are detailed in news releases at www.otcmarkets.com/stock/VBHI/news● Laramie County, Wyoming acquisition announced on 4/15. Operated by EOG, with eight wells currently producing and approximately $8,000 in expected monthly revenue to the Company. ● Haynesville and Marcellus Shale acquisition announced on 4/8/2021. Operated by Vine Energy and Southwestern Energy with a combined 18 wells producing. Approximately $8,000 combined expected monthly revenue to the Company.● DJ Basin acquisition announced on 3/29/2021. Operated by Providence and Great Western, with seven wells producing and approximately $3,000 in expected monthly revenue to the Company.● Haynesville Shale and Delaware Basin acquisition announced on 3/24/2021. Operated by Indigo and EOG with a combined 12 wells and approximately $3,000 in expected monthly revenue to the Company.“The Company is continuing to source and acquire high-quality revenue producing assets that fit our strategy.“With the success of the Reg A raise and the acquisition campaign, Verde has also begun to improve and clean up the Balance Sheet and to date we have eliminated more than $350,000 in convertible debt. It is our goal that we will be debt free before our 4/30 year end. We have also increased our assets and monthly revenue significantly.“To increase shareholderand investor visibility, we are currently in the process of updating and upgrading our corporate website and corporate presentationto better represent our new business. We expect these to be available to the public within afew weeks.”Also, as we announced on April 13, Verde acquired an asset management software platform and will utilize this system to manage the assets acquired for our portfolios and the revenue produced. This system will allow the Company to communicate much more clearly and efficiently with current and prospective shareholders.Further,the Company is working toward an OTCQB uplisting in the next two Quarters. Scott Cox, CEO of Verde, states: "Over the past several months Verde has built a foundation to take advantage of the outstanding acquisition opportunities we have scouted anddeveloped. Our work to date has identified multiple assets in our target areasand we are now moving towards increasing shareholder value by addingassets and cashflow.

FREDERICK, MD - (NewMediaWire) - April 19, 2021 - BioElectronics Corporation (https://www.bielcorp.com/OTC PINK: BIEL) is pleased to report Q1 2021 revenue figures, the progress on three different product launches into the OTC and medical markets, ongoing efforts to expand international distribution, and finally, new initiatives into strengthening R&D/manufacturing capabilities. First quarter sales were $605,675 which is 18% higher than Q4 2020 sales, and an impressive 73% of total 2020 revenue; these percentage increases not only document the Company’s strong growth, but also serve as objective evidence of effectiveness for the Company’s strategic repositioning as an OEM manufacturer. The Q1 2021 sales figure is robust, as there is over $306,000 of deferred sales incoming from signed contracts, for products that have yet to be shipped. Looking ahead, the Company is now working with their three major channel partners, i.e., KT Health and Scott Specialties in the OTC space, and Medi-Launch in the prescription medical market, to solidify new orders after strong initial product launches that took place in Q1 2021. Kelly Whelan, President & CEO, expressed enthusiasm, “Initial OTC feedback has been very positive, as witnessed by strong consumer reviews (averaging over 4.5 out of 5 on Amazon.com and their company websites) for both the KT Recovery+ Wave™ and DonJoy®EME products. The launch into the medical channel was slowed by the pandemic but has recently accelerated as hospitals are resuming non-emergency surgical procedures.” The Company is also pushing forward on the international sales front. In addition to re-acquiring their CE mark (which allows the Company to sell in most international countries) in late 2020, it also obtained MDSAP certification in Q1 2021, which now allows for product distribution in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Ms. Whelan also said, “We are now exploring expanding our OTC sales into more countries in the EU using the same strategy of identifying firms with strong retail experience selling their branded products into the retail market. We hope to be able to announce the results of these conversations in the near future. In addition, through Medi-Launch, we have signed four new international distributorships contracts for our RecoveryRx line.” Mr. Richard Staelin, Chairman of the Board, commented, “We believe it is important to keep investing in one of our core capabilities, i.e., designing and manufacturing Pulsed Short Wave Therapy medical devices. With this in mind, we are in active talks to conduct new clinical trials both with our RecoveryRx product and extensions of our OTC devices. We are also working with our contract manufacturer to strengthen our manufacturing capabilities to accommodate for increased production, amid international volatility in raw material costs.” DisclosureCertain information set forth in this email contains “forward-looking information”, including “future-oriented financial information” and “financial outlook”, under applicable securities laws (collectively referred to herein as forward-looking statements).

Research Highlights: Transgender and gender-diverse people have higher rates of hypertension compared to the general population. Within two to four months of starting gender-affirming hormone therapy, transgender women had a lower average systolic blood pressure, and transgender men had a higher average systolic blood pressure. Clinicians should consistently monitor blood pressure before and after starting gender-affirming hormone therapy to take hypertension prevention measures. Embargoed until 4 a.m. CT/5 a.m. ET Monday, April 19, 2021 (NewMediaWire) - April 19, 2021 - DALLAS - Gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) was associated with blood pressure changes in both transgender men and women, according to new research published today in Hypertension, an American Heart Association journal. Given the higher burden of heart attack, stroke and other cardiovascular conditions among transgender men and women, blood pressure screening and monitoring are important, especially after beginning hormone therapies. Although doctors have prescribed gender-affirming hormone therapy to transgender men and women for more than 25 years, researchers and health care professionals know little about rates of hypertension and how the effects on blood pressure change over time. Previous research has shown that transgender men were almost five times as likely to report having a heart attack compared to cisgender women. Conversely, transgender women were more than two-and-a-half times more likely to have reported a heart attack than cisgender women, yet they did not have a significant increase in heart attack incidence when compared with cisgender men. However, a systematic review conducted in 2020 found most of the studies examining gender-affirming hormones and blood pressure had sample sizes that were too small to detect statistically significant differences in blood pressure. “There are many important gaps in our knowledge about the effects of hormone therapy for transgender people. This study examined the time course and magnitude of the effects of gender-affirming hormones on blood pressure,” said senior study author Michael S. Irwig, M.D., an associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and director of transgender medicine at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. To conduct the largest and longest observational study of its kind, the researchers followed 470 patients who began GAHT at a medical center in the Washington, D.C. area from 1/1/2007 to 6/1/2015. Participants were all at least 17 years old and non-cisgender. Of the 470 patients, 247 were transfeminine and 223 were transmasculine. About 27% of the participants were non-white, and 16% self-identified as Latinx. Researchers measured each patient’s blood pressure before beginning GAHT to establish a baseline and continued measurements at subsequent clinical visits for up to 57 months. The study found: Within two to four months of beginning hormone therapy, transgender women saw an average decrease of 4.0 mm Hg in their systolic blood pressure, but transgender men saw an average increase of 2.6 mm Hg. The prevalence of stage 2 hypertension (at least 140/90 mm Hg) dropped from 19% to 10% in the transfeminine group within two to four months of beginning hormone therapy. The use of testosterone in transgender men could lead to an increased risk for heart attack or stroke if they also have untreated high blood pressure. In addition, the results indicated that some patients experienced different blood pressure effects compared to the majority of those with the same gender identity. Some transgender women and transgender men saw blood pressure rates trend in the opposite direction of their peers. The study authors highlight this is an area that requires further research, noting individuals taking the same medication may react in different ways. The study has several limitations. Most patients were on the same formulation of intramuscular ...
Highlights: To date, no adverse cardiac events related to SARS-CoV-2 infection have been observed among more than 3,000 collegiate athletes during short-term clinical surveillance. Findings suggest safe return-to-play without cardiac testing for asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic athletes. Embargoed until 12:00 p.m. CDT / 1:00 p.m. EDT April 17, 2021 (NewMediaWire) - April 17, 2021 - DALLAS - While the lasting impact of COVID-19 on hospitalized patients in the general population is common and associated with adverse cardiac outcomes, evaluations of cardiac involvement of more than 3,000 college-aged, competitive athletes revealed no adverse cardiac events following COVID-19 infections and indicate a safe return-to-play for asymptomatic and mildly symptomatic athletes without additional cardiac testing, according to a study published today in the American Heart Association’s flagship journal Circulation. In this prospective, multicenter, observational cohort study with data collected from September 1 to December 31, 2020, from 42 colleges and universities in the U.S., researchers assessed the prevalence, clinical characteristics and outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 cardiac involvement among collegiate athletes using the Outcomes Registry for Cardiac Conditions in Athletes (ORCCA). ORCCA is a national registry, or research database, to track COVID-19 cases and heart-related impacts in NCAA athletes to drive improvements in screening and inform our understanding of cardiac involvement in college athletes who have had COVID-19. “The very timely and largely reassuring data coming from the ORCCA registry were made possible by an amazing collaborative effort between the sports medicine and sports cardiology communities,” said Aaron L. Baggish, M.D., co-principal investigator and director of the Cardiovascular Performance Program at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. “It is anticipated that ORCCA will continue to shape the way we protect the health of young competitive athletes well beyond the end of the COVID-19 pandemic.” Out of more than 19,000 athletes tested for SARS-CoV-2 infection, 3,018 tested positive for COVID-19 and underwent cardiac evaluation. A total of 2,820 athletes underwent at least one element of cardiac ‘triad’ testing (12-lead electrocardiography (ECG), troponin, and/or transthoracic echocardiography(TTE)), followed by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) if clinically indicated; and 198 athletes underwent a primary screening CMR. Overall, the prevalence of probable or definite cardiac involvement from SARS-CoV-2 infection was 0.4%-1.5%. The diagnostic yield for probable or definite cardiac involvement was 6.7 times higher for a CMR obtained for clinical reasons (10.1%) versus a primary screening CMR (1.5%). The odds of having cardiac involvement was also 3.1 times higher in athletes with cardiopulmonary symptoms. “This was an amazing collaboration within the sports medicine and cardiology community,” said Jonathan A. Drezner, M.D., director of the UW Medicine Center for Sports Cardiology in Seattle and a co-principal investigator of the study. “Most athletes with no symptoms or mild illness from SARS-CoV-2 can return to sports safely without additional cardiac testing as long as they feel good on return to exercise and don’t have cardiopulmonary symptoms like chest pain.” The American Heart Association and the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine (AMSSM) joined forces earlier this year to accelerate a critical new research initiative studying cardiac conditions in athletes, in part to speed new insights into the impact of COVID-19 to the cardiovascular system of college athletes and safety of return to play after diagnosis. The collaborative data registry will aid research on COVID-19, and, long-term, develop a deep knowledge base on cardiac disease in athletes beyond the pandemic. The registry has been developed with participation from the NCAA and has more than 60 schools currently contributing to the registry. Schools interested in participating or learning more about the registry can send an ...
