VANCOUVER, British Columbia and PHOENIX, Nov. 8, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global Health Ventures Inc. (OTCBB:GHLV), a specialty pharmaceutical company with focus on sublingual and orodispersable drugs announced today the following corporate actions.

  1. On September 23, 2011, the Company completed a merger with its wholly owned subsidiary, Kedem Pharmaceuticals Inc., and formally assumed the subsidiary's name by filing Articles of Merger with the Nevada Secretary of State. The subsidiary was incorporated entirely for the purpose of effecting the name change and the merger did not affect the Company's Articles of Incorporation or corporate structure in any other way.
  2. On September 26, 2011, the Company completed a 1 for 20 reverse split of its common stock and effected a corresponding decrease in its authorized capital by filing of a Certificate of Change with the Nevada Secretary of State. As a result of the reverse split, the Company's authorized common stock decreased from 1,000,000,000 shares to 50,000,000, and its issued and outstanding common stock decreased from 196,333,192 shares to 9,816,660.
  3. In order for the name change and reverse split to be recognized on the OTC Bulletin Board, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") was required to process the corporate actions.  FINRA has now processed the name change and reverse split, both of which became effective in the market at the open of business on November 7, 2011. At that time, the Company's common stock became eligible for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board under the name Kedem Pharmaceuticals Inc. and the trading symbol "GHLVD.ob". On December 6, 2011, the Company's trading symbol will revert to "GHLV.ob" and on December 20, 2011, it will change permanently to "KDMP.ob".
