From the Nasdaq MarketSite Studio, New to The Street's TV Host Jane King interviews Nicole Sandford, President, CEO, and Board Member, Michell Snider, Senior Vice-President of Commercial Strategy and Operations, and Lottie Wilder, Market Development Manager of Aspira Women's Health (NASDAQ: AWH) ($AWH). The Company is transforming gynecologic health by discovering, developing, and commercializing innovative blood-based diagnostic test kits for women with ovarian cancer and other disorders. Nicole updates viewers that the Company completed its clinical study on its OvaWatchSM product for monitoring expansion. Management launched in 2022 the OvaWatch test kit that can monitor and manage women with ovarian adnexal masses. The test provides a single risk assessment score that delivers a negative predictive value of 99% and can advance treatment protocols based on test result outcomes. OvaWatch allows physicians to choose their patients' clinical management path confidently. Management is focusing on effective commercialization and marketing strategies, looking at a data set to see what is working and not working for AWH to make money. Nicole feels hiring qualified and talented people continues to improve the bottom-line results at AWH. Michell Snider gives her employment history with the Company and discusses a three-point growth strategy: 1) focus on profitability, 2) core physician expansion and retention, and 3). targets large-scale partnerships. Lottie Wilder is AWH's Market Development Manager and shares her personal health experiences. Her family has an ovarian cancer history and has identified that cancer gene in her family tree. With one ovary removed and the other with an adnexal mass, Lottie talks about her experience as a patient with OvaWatch. With a 99.5% personal negative predictive value, Lottie manages her health, accordingly, believing she can enter menopause naturally without removing the other ovary. Nicole sees 2024 as AWH's year to aggressively market the Company's products and build upon its proven successes. With the right team, products, and innovations, AWH continues to help women with ovarian cancer and other gynecologic disorders.

New to The Street's TV Host Jane King from the Nasdaq MarketSite Studio talks with David Luci, the President/CEO of Acurx Phamaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ACXP) ($ACXP). As a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical business, ACXP is developing a new class of antibiotics for life-threatening bacterial infections. David updates viewers on the Company's FDA Phase 2 clinical trial on the Ibezapolstat drug, a treatment for patients with Clostridioides difficile Infections (CDI). Based on positive data from Phase 2a and Phase 2b, management is now going forward with the FDA Phase 3. The Company compared its top-line data with the currently used standard-of-care drugs in the marketplace, and Ibezapolstat has impressive positive results. Phases 2a and 2b confirmed that the drug had success in 25 out of 26 patients, approximately 96% success with no reinfections. Competitor drugs have been used for decades to treat CDI, but the reinfection rates are very high. ACXP's Ibezapolsat study results have shown to combat reinfections effectively. Based on the data and other publications regarding the market size for newly discovered and effective treatment of CDI, ACXP believes Ibezapolstat could be a market worth over $1B. David explains how the Company will fund its FDA Phase 3 study and, upon successful approval, will leverage data/results for future approval(s) with the European Medicines Agency. Decades-old antibacterial drugs are not working due to changes in the molecular composition of CDI. Thousands of people worldwide die annually, with many catching CDI in hospitals and nursing homes. Acurx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. believes its Ibezapolstat drug is the next generation for effectively treating CDI.

New to The Street introduces its latest segment, "The Business of Blockchain," with TV Host Jane King. Verda Ventures sponsors the topic: "Microlending on the Blockchain." Jane King investigates the new blockchain microlending platforms that give the working poor access to capital and a chance for success. A panel of guests, Jia's Zack Mark, CEO/Co-Founder, Huma Finance's ("Huma") Jaou Toure, Head of Business & Operations, and Verda Ventures' Alex Witt, General Partner, are with Jane at the Nasdaq MarketSite Studio discussing the importance in microlending and its positive results. Jane introduces a "Case-Study" of a Kenyan spice merchant, Francis Njorogo, who uses Jia's microlending blockchain platform to obtain working capital for spice inventories. Jia transformed Francis' business and life, enabling his spice business to generate more revenue through better inventories. His successful growth has earned him more money and allowed him to purchase land to build a home. Jia has also helped a medical facility purchase needed supplies and a school purchase books and paid teachers. Jaou Toure, Head of Business & Operations of Huma, a blockchain-based decentralized lending protocol, believes the blockchain will revolutionize global capital markets. Transactional speed, transparency, trust, and efficiency when utilizing a blockchain lending platform give people worldwide opportunities and a layer of equity not available through legacy lending methods. Zack Mark, CEO/Co-Founder of Jia, discusses how he met Francis Njorogo during his visit to a Kenya public market. He describes how he saw the inefficiency of Francis' spice business and introduced Francis to Jia for microlending capital needs. Jia has lending capacities at various amounts depending on a client's needs. Alex Witt, General Partner at Verda Ventures, wants to inform US lawmakers of the importance of blockchain microlending platforms and for lawmakers and others to look beyond the FTX collapse and grasp the understanding of how the blockchain can advance small business owners' access to business capital.

On New to The Street's "Sekur Privacy & Sekur Security – Weekly Hack" segment, the topic looks into the recent hacking into well-known casino properties, Caesars Entertainment and MGM Resorts.  Internationally acclaimed internet privacy expert Mr. Alain Ghiai, CEO at Sekur Private Data, Ltd. (OTCQX: SWISF) (CSE: SKUR) (FRA: GDT0) (Sekur®) and New to the Street TV Co-Host / Multi-media Journalist Ana Berry discuss the significance of the casinos' data stolen. The hack occurred from a source in the USA, and the FBI is still investigating the crime. Alain says casino data is valuable, providing information like names, addresses, hotel stay particulars, and other private info. Most likely, the hackers are selling stolen data on the "Dark Web." Even if you haven't been to these Las Vegas properties recently, data from years ago was probably on the servers when stolen. At the onset, it looked like the hack came from an email; casinos and other businesses, unfortunately, use open-source email platforms. The best option is to have a secure email platform from Sekur Private Data, Ltd. Sekur offers a new product, SekurRely, a software that allows management and other C-suite executives a private and secure email communication platform. Unique to Sekur, the product enables splitting a business domain, allowing emails on Sekur's platform without limiting the domain's other emails on other platforms. The product comes with SekurMail's SekurSend/SekurReply feature that invites electronic communication on Sekur's closed-loop encrypted platform. The recipient must not be a Sekur subscriber to enjoy the security and privacy features of the product. Subscribers can send emails with time limits, password protection, and other time-out features to enhance privacy for themselves and the recipient. SekurMail has two alias email addresses used for general emails, not for transmitting private data. Alain also recommends its SekurVPN services, which allows end-users to appear always as operating in Switzerland, masking a subscriber's internet footprint. IP addresses are private under Swiss privacy laws. Any data mining or reselling of information is a significant violation in Switzerland, the strictest privacy law in the world. Alain again informs viewers that Sekur Private Data, Ltd. wholly owns and controls its Swiss base servers, never sells data, never mines data, never asks for phone numbers, never uses 3rd party providers, and never tracks internet traffic. The Company is offering PROMO CODE: PRIVACY that gives 15% savings toward monthly and yearly subscriptions to any of its services. Viewers, please tune in next time for the newest cybersecurity topic on the "Sekur Privacy & Sekur Security– Weekly Hack" segment.
