CAMPBELL, Calif., May 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- BioPharmX Corporation (NYSE American: BPMX) ("BioPharmX") today announced that all proposals related to its proposed merger with Timber Pharmaceuticals LLC ("Timber") were approved by BioPharmX's stockholders at a special meeting held on May 13, 2020. The proposed merger remains subject to further customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. BioPharmX and Timber expect the closing of the merger to occur on or about May 18, 2020.
Upon closing of the transaction, the combined company will change its name to "Timber Pharmaceuticals, Inc." and it is anticipated that the shares will commence trading on the NYSE American market under the ticker symbol "TMBR." The officers and managers of Timber will assume leadership of the combined company with Michael Derby serving as Chairman and John Koconis as Chief Executive Officer.
Timber is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of treatments for orphan dermatologic diseases. The combined company will have a robust pipeline including Timber's two Phase 2b programs and a preclinical program targeting multiple niche orphan indications with no approved treatments as well as BioPharmX's two Phase 3-ready topical minocycline programs. Following the closing of the merger, the combined company will evaluate BioPharmX's Phase 3-ready programs for a strategic partnership, co-development, or other non-dilutive value creation opportunities.
The final voting results for BioPharmX's special meeting of stockholders will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") in a Form 8-K.
