Key highlights of the announcement include:
- Elimination of Future Dilution: The Company will no longer be required to issue new common stock to SkyBell, which would have resulted in SkyBell owning 90% of the Company-substantially diluting existing shareholders.
- No Liability: Neither Klotho nor SkyBell will incur any liability as a result of the termination.
- Refocused Strategy: The termination enables Klotho to remain focused on its core assets and to allocate resources and capital toward advancing its primary therapeutic and longevity programs. These include pipeline candidates targeting neurodegenerative and other age-related diseases.
