Elevai Labs Inc. Announces Name Change to PMGC Holdings Inc. and Redomicile to Nevada

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Dec. 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PMGC Holdings Inc. (formerly known as Elevai Labs Inc.) EELAB (before and after the redomestication, the “Company” or “we”) announced today that it completed a strategic reorganization. This reorganization included changing the Company’s name from Elevai Labs Inc. to PMGC Holdings Inc. and redomiciling from Delaware to Nevada. Upon this reorganization, the Company will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) under the ticker symbol “ELAB.” The redomestication and name change will be effective on Nasdaq at the opening of business on December 23, 2024.

The Company’s name change reflects its expanded vision and commitment to building a portfolio of operating companies and assets with significant growth potential. As PMGC Holdings Inc. (“PMGC Holdings”), the Company will concentrate on enhancing operational efficiencies across its existing entities, pursuing synergistic acquisitions, and considering strategic divestitures of assets or companies that are underperforming or do not align with its long-term strategy. In doing so, the Company aims to reduce costs, optimize returns, and enhance shareholder value.

Benefits of Redomiciling to Nevada

The Company’s decision to redomicile from Delaware to Nevada aligns with its mission to streamline operations and create a more efficient legal and governance framework. Nevada offers several legal benefits, including:

• Business-Friendly Regulatory Environment: Nevada provides a modern and flexible corporate law framework that supports growth-oriented businesses like PMGC Holdings Inc., with provisions designed to reduce legal and operational complexities.
• Director and Officer Protections: Nevada statutes offer robust indemnification and liability protection for directors and officers, promoting confident leadership and decision-making.
• Cost Efficiency: Redomiciling to Nevada lowers state franchise tax obligations and other regulatory fees compared to those of Delaware, which the Company believes will result in significant long-term cost savings for the Company and its shareholders.
• Flexibility in Shareholder Governance: Nevada law provides flexibility in shareholder governance, including provisions for corporate structuring and amendments, which align well with PMGC Holdings’ diversified holding company strategy.

Current Portfolio

The portfolio consists of the following key subsidiaries, representing the Company’s commitment to innovation and shareholder value creation:

• Elevai Skincare Inc. Specializing in physician-dispensed skincare solutions powered by its proprietary Precision Regenerative Exosome Technology™ (PREx™).
• Elevai Biosciences Inc. Focused on biopharmaceutical advancements, including developing IND-ready treatments for obesity and muscle preservation, EL-22 and EL-32.
• Elevai Research Inc. Used to conduct research in life sciences, focusing on research and development in Canada, supported by grants and strategic partnerships.
• PMGC Capital LLC. A multi-strategy investment vehicle engaging in investing, lending, and seeking diversified opportunities across various markets.

PMGC Capital LLC’s goal is to achieve superior risk-adjusted returns by balancing traditional investments with innovative, opportunistic ventures, thereby offering both growth potential and stability through a diversified portfolio.
