Predictive Oncology has signed a deal to be taken over by Renovaro in exchange for a newly created series of preferred stock in the biotechnology company.
The AI-driven drug-discovery company on Monday said that the acquisition, which follows a formal review of strategic alternatives put in place since mid-November, would reduce its operating expenses by more than 30% on a combined basis in the near term.
The acquisition is subject to a minimum fundraising of $15 million by Renovaro, as well as formal approval by Predictive Oncology's shareholders.
There is no assurance that an agreement or transaction with Renovaro will be executed.
