26 Fevereiro 2025 - 11:29AM
N2OFF, Inc. (NASDAQ: NITO) (FSE:80W) (“N2OFF” and the “Company”), a
clean tech company engaged in sustainable solutions for solar
energy, energy battery storage and innovation for agri- tech,
announced today that it has entered a definitive agreement to
acquire MitoCareX Bio Ltd. ("MitoCareX"), a biotech company focused
on drug discovery targeting cancer therapeutics, with a range of
other potential diseases and disorders, through targeting the
mitochondrial SLC25 protein family.
N2OFF entered into a securities purchase and
exchange agreement to acquire full ownership of MitoCareX from
SciSparc Ltd (NASDAQ:SPRC), Dr. Alon Silberman, and Prof. Ciro
Leonardo Pierri (the “Sellers”). Under the agreement, N2OFF will
purchase 4,961 shares from SciSparc for $700,000 and exchange
additional shares with all Sellers for common stock totaling 40% of
the Company's fully diluted capital stock. The Sellers will
collectively be entitled to 30% of N2OFF’s financing proceeds
(capped at $1.6 million) for five years. Upon closing, MitoCareX
will become a wholly owned subsidiary of N2OFF, with its board
reconstituted with N2OFF appointees. The transaction is subject to
the approval of N2OFF’s stockholders.
In addition, under the terms of the agreement,
the Sellers will be entitled to milestone-based issuances of up to
25% of common stock of N2OFF, calculated on a fully diluted
basis.
MitoCareX is focusing on the development of
novel therapies for hard-to-treat cancers by targeting proteins
belonging to the mitochondrial SLC25 protein family. MitoCareX’s
drug discovery activities rely on the ability to generate reliable
3D comparative modeling for its proteins of interest, which further
allows the potential identification of anti-cancer small molecule
therapeutics. Furthermore, by leveraging its advanced in-vitro
screening systems related to mitochondria, MitoCareX corroborates
the anti-cancer biological activity of small molecules discovered
through its computational platform. According to Coherent Market
Insights report, the global Cancer Therapeutics and Biotherapeutics
market was estimated to be valued at $194.1B in 2024 and is
expected to reach $344.1B by 2031.
This agreement also contemplates a commitment by
the Company to financially support MitoCareX’s operations during
the first two years following the closing, including an initial
cash investment of $1,000,000.
Mr. Amitay Weiss, Chairman of the Board of
Directors of N2OFF, also serves as the Chairman of the Board of
Directors of SciSparc. Additionally, Ms. Liat Sidi, a member of
N2OFF’s Board of Directors, also serves as a member of the Board of
Directors of SciSparc.
