Dow Jones10/08/2024: Aditxt Completes Third Parent Equity Investment Under Amended and Restated Merger Agreement With Evofem

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. & SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--October 08, 2024--

Aditxt, Inc. ("Aditxt" ) (NASDAQ: ADTX), an innovation platform dedicated to accelerating promising health innovations, and Evofem Biosciences, Inc. ("Evofem") (OTCQB: EVFM), a pioneer in women's health, today announced the completion of the Third Parent Equity Investment under the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement, as amended (the "Agreement"). This investment further strengthens the strategic and collaborative relationship between the two companies as they jointly seek to expand access to healthcare solutions for women globally.

Aditxt completed the Third Parent Equity Investment under the Agreement by purchasing 460 shares of Evofem Series F-1 Convertible Preferred Stock ("Evofem Preferred Stock") for $460,000. The Company's previous investments in Evofem total $1.72 million, in aggregate. Aditxt intends to complete the required Fourth Parent Equity Investment by purchasing an additional 2,280 shares of Evofem Preferred Stock for $2.28 million by October 31, 2024.

From Evofem

As we advance towards completing this transaction, we believe that transitioning to the Aditxt ecosystem will enable us to more effectively execute our strategy to improve women's lives through healthcare solutions that address their unmet and underserved needs. Facing numerous challenges, from financial difficulties to market barriers, we have persevered by making tough decisions, implementing cost-cutting measures, and through sheer tenacity.

Evofem has transitioned from a single-product company to one with diversified offerings in prevention, treatment, and monitoring. Beginning with Phexxi(R) (lactic acid, citric acid and potassium bitartrate), our FDA-approved hormone-free contraceptive gel, we have expanded into treatment with the acquisition of SOLOSEC(R) (secnidazole) 2g oral granules, an FDA-approved single-dose oral antibiotic to treat bacterial vaginosis and trichomoniasis. Preparations are underway to re-launch SOLOSEC in the U.S. through our dedicated women's health commercial team. In collaboration with Pearsanta, we are also preparing to launch the Mitomic(R) Endometriosis Test (MET(TM)) in the U.S. in mid-2025. This non-invasive, blood-based diagnostic test uses a novel mitochondrial DNA biomarker to provide earlier and more accurate monitoring and diagnosis of endometriosis.

We are simultaneously advancing our strategy to maximize the potential of our women's health products by forging commercial partnerships in international markets. Our recent licensing agreement with Pharma 1 Drug Store, Phexxi's first global licensing deal, will bring Phexxi to the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, starting with the United Arab Emirates. This agreement is a significant milestone, setting the stage for continued global expansion and revenue diversification through strategic partnerships in additional international markets.

Building on this momentum, we plan to continue to deploy next-generation products to bridge gaps in women's health and improve outcomes for women of all ages and life stages. With the completion of the Aditxt transaction and as part of Aditxt's social innovation platform, we believe we will be better positioned to catalyze our growth, execute our mission, and substantially impact women's health globally.

From Aditxt

At Aditxt, our mission is to accelerate the growth of innovative health companies addressing some of the most critical health challenges. We identify and seek to acquire companies that align with our mission and drive their development through our evolving business acceleration platform. We currently have two subsidiaries: Adimune, which focuses on immune health, and Pearsanta, which specializes in precision health by advancing the early detection of cancers and other diseases.

We believe that women's health must remain in the hands of those committed to making a meaningful impact. With our stakeholders' support, we believe that following closing Evofem, we can continue to build on its recent progress and drive its mission to provide innovative healthcare solutions for women. Our platform has the potential to strengthen Evofem's ability to expand access to essential products and improve women's health globally.

We believe Evofem is on track to become a leader in women's health and that our combined efforts, following closing, will continue to drive innovation, expand access, and improve health outcomes for women worldwide.
