"With this acquisition complete, we will onboard the StemVax team, launch their brand, and work towards the commercialization of StemVax's life-changing technologies. This is truly the beginning of an effort that encompasses the lifelong work of some of the most talented and incredible people I've ever met. I couldn't be more humbled or thankful to welcome the StemVax team to NovAccess."
The transaction structure features the issuance of 7.5 million common restricted shares of NovAccess Global stock to Innovest Global as consideration. The disposition by Innovest allows it to direct all of its focus on its growing industrials business while retaining upside potential should NovAccess be successful in its commercialization efforts.
