Miraculins Releases
CEO Letter to Shareholders
WINNIPEG,
MANITOBA--(Marketwired - Jan. 20, 2014) - Miraculins Inc. (TSX
VENTURE:MOM), ("Miraculins" or the "Company") a medical diagnostic company
focused on acquiring, developing and commercializing diagnostic and risk
assessment technologies for unmet clinical needs, today issues the following
letter to shareholders from Company President & CEO
Christopher Moreau:
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
As Miraculins' President and CEO, and as a shareholder myself, I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your decision to become an investor and for your ongoing support as we continue to progressively build our company. I also want to take a moment to provide you with some additional information regarding the recent announcement to consolidate Miraculins shares, along with some further perspective on the company, its strengths, and our long-term goals and objectives.
Miraculins Stock Consolidation
From time to time, companies listed on the TSX Venture exchange will announce a consolidation of their share structure when the company is planning to change direction, change its name, or to start fresh as part of a major corporate reorganization. This is not the case with the proposed Miraculins stock consolidation. I want all shareholders to clearly understand that Miraculins remains committed to achieving the goal of building a world-class medical device company by bringing our innovative technologies to those in need around the world, and generating the financial rewards that can result for our shareholders. The consolidation is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The Board of Director's decision to consolidate our stock following the approval of a special resolution at Miraculins' 2013 AGM, was primarily based on the objective of achieving a more rational share price that better reflects the company's technology value and its future commercial promise. The proposed consolidation is also anticipated to enable the company to be more attractive to the widest range of potential investors.
Miraculins Team
Because Miraculins is a public company, with investors around the globe, it is impossible for me to meet or speak with each one of you personally. If I could, I would tell you in the strongest words possible that in addition to the ground-breaking Scout DS(R), PreVu(R), and Preeclampsia technologies being steadily advanced, one of Miraculins greatest assets is the dedicated team of management and staff I have the privilege of leading. Behind the scenes, working with enthusiasm and perseverance, are specialists in multiple key areas including quality assurance, regulatory, research and development, engineering, manufacturing, sales and marketing, communications, intellectual property, as well as logistics and business development. Working alongside of them are highly-skilled experts providing important legal, accounting and corporate finance guidance. I am proud to be the President and CEO of a company with team members whose individual and collective tenacity and desire to see Miraculins succeed is exceptional.
Staying the Course
There is no question that our path is a challenging one, and that the commercial introduction of new medical technologies carries with it significant obstacles along the way. Difficult capital markets can make it hard to access much needed capital investment on a timely basis for operations and growth. Additionally, long buying cycles can delay product launches and initiatives, and the highly regulated industry we work in can also add significant costs to the bottom line. Having said this, the commensurate rewards and upside can be significant for shareholders as well, as we continue to work towards realizing our business objectives and goals. While we are still in the early stages of introducing these new technologies to the market, we remain committed to our present path of innovative, stage-based commercialization and growth. We believe strongly in our technologies, in their capacity to impact patients in need worldwide, and we believe in the corresponding potential of our company to build and achieve significant value for shareholders along the way.
Thank you again for your ongoing support.

About Miraculins Inc.
Miraculins is a medical diagnostic company focused on acquiring, developing and commercializing non-invasive technologies for unmet clinical needs. A significant number of promising diagnostic opportunities remain un-commercialized because of the sizable gap between the discovery stage, when research institutions are typically involved, and the commercialization stage, when the larger commercial enterprises become interested. Miraculins has direct experience in bridging this gap. The Company's PreVu(R) POC Test is a revolutionary new coronary artery disease risk assessment technology that measures cholesterol levels in a patient's skin non-invasively, painlessly and without the need for fasting. The Company's Scout DS(R) system is the first non-invasive diabetes testing system designed to provide a highly sensitive and convenient method for measuring diabetes related biomarkers in the skin, the accumulation of which are accelerated by abnormal blood sugar levels and oxidative stress. Unlike current testing methods, a Scout DS(R) test requires no blood draw, no fasting, and no waiting for a lab result. The product has been used and validated in thousands of patients around the world. The Company's preeclampsia program is partnered with Alere Inc., one of the world's largest diagnostic companies.
