KRTL Holding Group, Inc. (OTC: KRTL) (“KRTL” or the “Company”), today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, KRTL Biotech, Inc. (“KRTL Biotech”), has entered into a Distribution, Supply and Promotion Agreement with Star Pharmaceuticals, LLC (“STAR”). Under the terms of the arrangement, KRTL Biotech obtained exclusive rights, subject to performance requirements, to commercialize, distribute, and promote certain non-prescription formulations within the United States, Central America, South America, the Caribbean, and Thailand. The arrangement has an initial five-year term and includes a revenue-sharing structure tied to net sales.
This strategic collaboration positions KRTL Biotech within a growing segment of the broader health and wellness and specialty product markets, where demand for differentiated formulations, alternative delivery formats, and internationally scalable distribution platforms continues to evolve. The Company believes this structure enables participation in emerging product categories while maintaining a disciplined, compliance-first operating model.
The framework also provides for KRTL Biotech to oversee regulatory coordination, market development, distribution, and promotional activities, while utilizing third-party manufacturing partners operating under applicable current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) standards. STAR will contribute product-related intellectual property and technical support under an exclusive license within the defined field.
“This represents a disciplined but important expansion of our commercial strategy,” said Cesar Herrera, CEO of KRTL Holding Group and KRTL Biotech. “We are entering a category that continues to attract market interest, while applying a controlled approach centered on regulatory alignment, supply chain structure, and scalable distribution.”
Methylene blue and related compounds have a long history of use across medical and research settings and are now seeing renewed commercial interest within broader health and specialty product markets. The Company believes evolving consumer awareness, new delivery formats, and expanding global distribution channels are contributing to increasing market attention, subject to applicable regulatory frameworks.
The collaboration is expected to focus initially on non-prescription product formats, including capsule and gummy formulations. These delivery formats are increasingly prevalent across consumer-facing health and wellness markets, offering potential for differentiated positioning, retail accessibility, and cross-border distribution strategies, subject to applicable regulatory frameworks.
“This represents an important first step in what we believe can become a broader and strategically aligned relationship,” said Roseanne Branciforte, Co-Founder and CEO of Star Pharmaceuticals. “By combining STAR’s established product portfolio, including Urolene Blue®—a prescription-only product first introduced in 1973—with KRTL Biotech’s commercialization platform, we are creating a foundation for potential future expansion as market opportunities evolve, subject to regulatory and commercial conditions.”
The Company cautions that commercialization activities, revenue generation, and market expansion remain subject to a range of factors, including regulatory approvals, supply chain execution, market acceptance, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
