MIRAMAR, FL -- July 26, 2019 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- Generex Biotechnology Corporation (www.generex.com) (GNBT) today provided a summary of the investor conference call held yesterday, July 25, 2019 at 4:00 pm during which Joseph Moscato, Generex President & Chief Executive Officer updated investors on the company’s plans for the GNBT up-list and the previously declared 1:1 share dividend. He also provided guidance on the proposed timing for the NuGenerex Immuno-Oncology (NGIO) spinout and subsequent planned merger with Kiromic.

Mr. Moscato stated: “Many thanks to our shareholders and interested parties for calling in yesterday to hear about our progress in achieving stage 3 of our plan to bring Generex back to the Nasdaq. For those who could not join the call, I am providing this summary. The full recording of the call is now available on our corporate web site, and the transcript will be available early next week.”

“First, I am happy to report that Generex has paid the Nasdaq up-list application fee, and we expect the review process to take 30 to 60 days. As announced, we have worked with Donahoe Associates on our up-list application, and we will keep our shareholders apprised of our progress. Following a successful up-list of GNBT to the Nasdaq national market, the 1:1 share dividend will be paid the following day, with the ex-date two days following payment of the dividend. Note that the record date for the dividend was July 24, 2019, so anyone who held shares on that date is eligible for the dividend. If anyone sells shares between the record date and the ex-date, the purchaser of the shares is entitled to the dividend. The Company will provide further guidance on the treatment of the dividend shares through a future press release.”

“As a reminder, Generex renamed its wholly-owned cancer subsidiary Antigen Express as NuGenerex Immuno-Oncology (NGIO), which we plan to build into a multi-platform cancer immunotherapy company. Generex has identified a public company into which we plan to merge NGIO and launch a new research effort to expand the oncology indications and applications for AE37 to complement our research partnership agreement with Merck to study the combination of AE37 in combination with Merck’s checkpoint inhibitor, Ketruda^® (pembrolizumab) for the treatment of triple negative breast cancer; the trial is currently screening patients for enrollment. Additionally, NGIO is working with our licensing partner Shenzhen Bioscien, a Chinese biopharmaceutical company, to develop AE37 for the treatment of prostate cancer. Under terms of the agreement, Shenzhen is to pay for the commercial development of AE37, conducting clinical trials in the EU and in China under ICH guidelines. Shenzhen holds the exclusive license for the use of AE37 for the treatment of prostate cancer only in China; Generex retains rights to the clinical data as well as global market rights for AE37 in the prostate cancer market outside of China.”

“On February 25, 2019 Generex paid a dividend in our new cancer company, whereby Generex shareholders received 1 share of NGIO for every 4 shares of GNBT. Those shares are now book-shared with Generex’s transfer agent, which is holding them in GNBT shareholders accounts; the shares will have value once we take NGIO public. The Company is working with the auditors and legal to coordinate the documentation, applications, and regulatory filings necessary for the spin-out. We are planning to execute the NGIO spin-out in the next 60 to 90 days and we will inform shareholders as we proceed through the process.”

Once the spin-out is accomplished, we plan to finalize a merger agreement with Kiromic, a clinical-stage immuno-oncology company with multiple, patented proprietary platforms, including CAR-T, CAR NK, an oral vaccine delivery system, and DIAMOND AI, an artificial intelligence system with a multifaceted predictive algorithm. Kiromic was granted the last orphan indication for ovarian cancer by FDA. In addition to advancing the ovarian cancer program, NGIO plans to advance Kiromic’s proprietary CAR-T and CAR NK technologies into proof of concept clinical trials.”

“Finally, I am happy to announce that we have paid off two note holders and will pay off the third noteholder early next week to clean up the balance sheet and add further value that will be a benefit for our up-list application to Nasdaq.”

In closing, Generex is nearing the final steps in our three-stage plan to return the Company to Nasdaq, and we are proud to have returned value to our loyal shareholders. We plan to continue executing our plan to build a new Generex that provides end to end solutions for physicians and patients. As always, if shareholders have questions or comments, please feel free to contact me.”
