StemVax Public Spinoff Complete Upon Completion of Reverse Stock Split; Transaction to Notably Strengthen Innovest Global Balance Sheet
CLEVELAND, OH / ACCESSWIRE / August 11, 2020 / Innovest Global Inc. (OTCPINK:IVST), a diversified industrials company, today announced it has entered into an agreement to sell StemVax Therapeutics, a biotechnology company developing novel therapies for brain tumor patients to XsunX, Inc. (OTC PINK:XSNX).
The sale of StemVax is pending a 1-for-1,000 reverse stock split of XsunX's outstanding shares of common stock and company name change from "XsunX, Inc." to "NovAccess Global Inc." The new company will focus on commercializing developmental healthcare solutions in the biotechnology, medical, and health, and wellness markets. XsunX has entered into a membership interest purchase agreement with Innovest to acquire StemVax for 7.5 million shares of its unregistered common stock after giving effect to the reverse stock split.
Innovest, which owns 100% of StemVax, previously announced its planned divestiture of the company into its own publicly-traded company the third quarter of 2020, and its Board of Directors has voted unanimously for the spinout.
"We are committed to remaining a pure-play industrials company, and are pleased to have executed on our initiative to divest StemVax this year," said Daniel Martin, Chief Executive Officer of Innovest Global. "The value proposition to our shareholders will be a notably strengthened balance sheet for our company, as we will own approximately 75% of the spinoff public company at close. Combined with our robust revenue base and new growth opportunities in healthcare-related services and PPE products, we are confident this sale will help to bring long term value for Innovest shareholders."
