SciSparc Provides Updates on Status of Spin-off of its Advanced Clinical Stage Pharmaceutical Portfolio to a Publicly Traded Company
16 Diciembre 2024 - 6:40AM
SciSparc Ltd. (Nasdaq: SPRC) (“Company” or “SciSparc”), a specialty
clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focusing on the development
of therapies to treat disorders and rare diseases of the central
nervous system, announced today that it had signed an amendment to
its non-binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) to spin off by reverse
merger its advanced clinical stage pharmaceutical portfolio and its
equity stake in SciSparc Nutraceuticals Inc. (collectively, the
“Target Assets”) to Miza III Ventures Inc. (“Miza”) (TSXV: MIZA.P),
a publicly traded company on the Toronto Stock Exchange Venture in
Canada, as previously announced on July 8, 2024.
Pursuant to the amendment to the LOI, the Company and Miza shall
negotiate in good faith and use reasonable commercial efforts to
enter into a definitive agreement by no later than March 31, 2025,
which was extended from July 31, 2024, provided that such date may
be extended by mutual written agreement of the parties, and to
close the proposed transaction by no later than April 30, 2025,
which was extended from October 31, 2024.
The LOI references a proposed asset and share purchase agreement
(the “Agreement”) to be determined and negotiated between the
Company and Miza, that will be based on an approximate US$ 3.3
million (C$ 4.5 million) total enterprise value of Miza, including
its US$ 1.0 million cash position, and an approximate US$ 11.6
million (C$ 15.8 million) value of SciSparc’s assets.
Pursuant to the LOI, SciSparc would sell, assign, convey and
transfer to Miza the Target Assets in consideration for 63,300,000
common shares of Miza and up to 48,000,000 Miza contingent rights
based on pre-determined milestones. Following the closing of such
transaction, SciSparc would hold a controlling interest in Miza,
the exact percentage of which is contingent on agreeing definitive
terms between the parties. The resulting entity, of which SciSparc
would hold an equity stake ranging from a minimum of approximately
75% to a maximum of 84.53%, would be active in both the
pharmaceutical and supplement sectors.
Such Agreement, if it were to be finalized and completed, would
align with SciSparc's strategy of creating value for its
shareholders and follows the announcement of the proposed plan of
merger agreement and transaction relating to AutoMax Motors Ltd.,
as previously announced by SciSparc on April 11, 2024.
SciSparc’s pharmaceutical portfolio includes SCI-110 for
treating persons with Tourette syndrome, which is subject to a
phase IIb clinical trial, SCI-110 for treating persons with
Alzheimer’s disease, the phase II clinical trial of which has been
completed, and SCI-210 for treating children with autism, subject
to a randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled trial that
commenced in the first quarter of 2024.
