The deal involves Aditxt acquiring all issued and outstanding Class A common shares of Appili through a court-approved plan. Key conditions include Aditxt raising at least US$20 million in financing before closing.

Appili has raised over CAD $100 million since 2015 for developing therapeutics in the global infectious disease and biodefense markets.

The company plans to file for regulatory approval in the UAE in Q3 2024.

The UAE contraceptive drug market is projected to reach $185.1 million by 2030. This agreement aligns with Evofem's strategy to expand and diversify its revenue stream. Phexxi is the first and only locally-acting contraceptive gel approved by the FDA, applied before intercourse to maintain a vaginal pH inhospitable to sperm and certain pathogens.

The merger aims to accelerate Evofem's growth and expand its women's health franchise.
