Cosmos Health Inaugurates State-of-the-Art Capsule Production Line with New 5-Year Contract Manufacturing Agreement with Provident Pharmaceuticals for 385,000 Units of CERTORUN CHICAGO, June 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cosmos Health Inc. ("Cosmos Health" or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:COSM), a diversified, vertically integrated global healthcare group, today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cana Laboratories ("Cana"), has inaugurated a new, state-of-the-art capsule production line and secured an additional contract manufacturing agreement with Provident Pharmaceuticals ("Provident"), a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the commercialization and marketing of niche and legacy pharmaceutical products and medical devices in specific therapeutic areas.

Under the new five-year agreement, Cana will manufacture 385,000 units of CERTORUN® (sertraline hydrochloride) over the five-year period, at an annual production volume of 77,000 units. CERTORUN® is an antidepressant in the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class used to treat depression, anxiety, and related disorders. The product will be produced in two strengths — CERTORUN® Caps 50mg/cap (BTx30, blister 3x10) and CERTORUN® Caps 100mg/cap (BTx30, blister 3x10).

Production will take place on Cana's newly installed ACG capsule-filling line, part of the Company's ongoing investment in upgrading and modernizing its manufacturing capabilities and capacities. ACG is one of the world's leading suppliers of empty hard capsules and integrated pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment.

This latest order builds on Cana's growing relationship with Provident, following a series of contract manufacturing agreements for products including DE3-SOLE®, MIOREL®, CALCIFOLIN®, and DEXA-DOSE®.

Greg Siokas, CEO of Cosmos Health, stated: "Cana's contract manufacturing division is a core pillar of our long-term growth strategy, generating high-margin, recurring revenue with strong cash flow visibility through multi-year agreements with established partners such as Provident. Each new order builds a stable, predictable revenue base, while diversifying our order book across multiple products and therapeutic areas — from central nervous system to musculoskeletal, vitamin, and anti-inflammatory categories. By continuing to upgrade and modernize our European GMP-certified infrastructure and capacity, we are well-positioned to keep securing new contracts and accelerate the growth of this high-margin segment.”
