XWELL (Nasdaq: XWEL) has announced that the director candidate nomination notice submitted by CPC Pain & Wellness SPV, (CPC) is invalid. CPC, a recently formed special purpose vehicle, acquired a 9.42% stake in XWELL last month. XWELL claims CPC's Schedule 13D filing is deficient, lacking details about its plans for the company.
XWELL suspects CPC aims to gain board control to engineer a transaction with an underperforming affiliate, potentially resulting in a 'Take-Under' deal that could undervalue the company and dilute stockholders. The company calls on CPC to update its Schedule 13D with transparent information about its plans and recent litigation. XWELL advises stockholders to be cautious of communications from CPC but states no immediate action is required.
