Aditxt, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADTX) (“Aditxt” or the “Company”), a social innovation platform dedicated to accelerating promising health innovations, announced today that its acquisition target, Evofem Biosciences, Inc. (“Evofem”) (OTCQB: EVFM), has secured voting agreements with certain of its investors to ensure they will vote in favor of the merger proposal at Evofem’s upcoming Special Meeting of Stockholders (the “Special Meeting”).

“We believe that the proposed merger represents a compelling opportunity to accelerate Evofem’s growth trajectory in women’s sexual and reproductive health as a subsidiary of Aditxt,” said Saundra Pelletier, CEO of Evofem.

“We are making steady progress towards completing this transaction, which will establish Aditxt’s women’s health mission,” said Amro Albanna, Chairman, Co-Founder, and CEO of Aditxt. “With Aditxt’s final pre-merger equity investment completed last week, we believe that these voting agreements are critical in ensuring that Evofem reaches a quorum at its upcoming special meeting and we hope it will lead to a successful passage of the merger proposal.”

Under the voting agreements, certain holders of Evofem’s Series E-1 Convertible Preferred Stock have agreed to vote the voting power of their shares, and certain holders of Evofem’s Convertible Notes have agreed to vote any Evofem common stock they hold as of the record date for the Special Meeting, in favor of the merger proposal.

Per the Amended and Restated Merger Agreement, as amended (the “A&R Merger Agreement”), between the companies, Aditxt’s subsidiary Adifem, Inc. is expected to merge with and into Evofem, with Evofem remaining as the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of Aditxt. The closing of the transactions is subject to several conditions, including approval of the transactions by a majority of the combined voting power of Evofem’s E-1 and Common Stock, voting together as a single class, at a meeting where quorum is present, and Aditxt raising sufficient capital to fund its obligations prior to and at closing.

On October 28, 2024, Aditxt invested $2.28 million in Evofem through the purchase of Evofem Series F-1 convertible preferred stock. This was the final pre-merger equity investment stipulated under the A&R Merger Agreement.

During its virtual stakeholder update on November 1, 2024, Aditxt discussed its current non-compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement and its expectation that it would be eligible for an additional 180 calendar days to regain compliance if its common stock closes below $1.00 for thirty consecutive days. As of the date of this release, Aditxt’s common stock has closed below $1.00 for 10 consecutive trading days. Aditxt is hereby clarifying such statement that it may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar days to regain compliance if it meets all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company remains subject to a Nasdaq Panel Monitor until December 29, 2024.
