$NDEV Rolls Out MedPlan Into New States & Updates Growth Initiatives

MIAMI, FL–(Marketwired – Mar 11, 2015) – Novus Acquisition & Development Corp. (OTC PINK: NDEV), a provider of health insurance and related insurance solutions to the wellness and medical marijuana (MMJ) industries in states where legal programs exist through its Novus Medical Group Inc. subsidiary, today announced regulatory approval and expansion of its Novus “MedPlan” into Alaska and Hawaii bringing the total number of states served to six (Vermont, Arizona, Colorado, Michigan, Alaska, and Hawaii). In addition to adding these states, the Company plans to expand services into Nevada and potentially other states with high populations of MMJ and alternative medicine consumers.

“The addition of Hawaii and Alaska to the MedPlan program represents our ongoing commitment to expanding patient access to medical marijuana and growing long-term shareholder value,” said Novus Acquisition & Development Corp. CEO Frank Labrozzi. “Over the coming months, our team will continue to expand the company’s geographic footprint into states like Nevada, while simultaneously building the partnerships necessary to create value for patients, companies, and of course, our shareholders.”

On a financial level, CEO Frank Labrozzi announced the retirement of 90 million shares of stock in mid-January, representing over half of the total number of outstanding shares. Management remains confident in the Company’s future prospects and continues to work with its attorneys to finalize its Form 10 and complete an audit designed to improve visibility and enable the stock to be up listed onto the OTCQB exchange.

On an operational level, the Company continues to improve the user experience and will be rolling out a reliable, and secure, user interface soon. In addition, the Company recently announced an insurance sales agency contract with Senior Healthcare Benefits Group in early February, which was designed to bolster its patient outreach efforts. The sales agency has a target market of over 80,000 qualified patients throughout Arizona, while it has also filed in California to sell insurance under the Novus MedPlan trademark — potentially reaching 600,000 more patients.

“We’re excited to be moving forward on both financial and operational initiatives designed to grow long-term shareholder value,” added Mr. Labrozzi. “These developments should help us reach a significantly larger patient population that’s in need of improved access to their medicine.”
