  • Combined company to trade on NASDAQ under ticker NAYA

NVO Bioscience has officially completed its merger with NAYA Biosciences, resulting in a newly formed entity that will operate under the name NAYA Biosciences and trade on NASDAQ with the ticker symbol NAYA. This strategic merger aims to enhance the combined company’s portfolio by retaining INVO's successful fertility business while venturing into promising areas such as oncology and autoimmune diseases.

The leadership team for the merged company reflects a blend of experience and innovation. Steve Shum has been appointed as CEO, while Dr. Daniel Teper will take on the role of President and CEO of the newly established NAYA Therapeutics subsidiary. This leadership structure is designed to leverage the strengths of both companies, ensuring a smooth transition and the successful implementation of their ambitious growth strategy.

One of the most significant outcomes of this merger is the expansion of NAYA’s portfolio, which now includes clinical and commercial-stage assets across fertility, oncology, and autoimmune diseases. The combined company is well-positioned to tap into these lucrative markets, combining established revenue streams with groundbreaking therapeutic developments. This dual focus not only diversifies NAYA's offerings but also enhances its potential for long-term growth.

Among the promising assets in NAYA’s pipeline is the GPC3-targeting FLEX-NK™ bispecific antibody, which is set to enter Phase I/II clinical trials for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma, a prevalent form of liver cancer. This innovative therapeutic approach aims to harness the body’s immune system to target and eliminate cancer cells, showcasing the potential of NAYA’s research and development capabilities.

In addition to the GPC3-targeting antibody, NAYA Biosciences is also advancing a CD38-targeting FLEX-NK™ bispecific antibody. This candidate holds promise for treating multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer, as well as various autoimmune diseases. Both antibodies represent cutting-edge advancements in the field of immunotherapy and highlight NAYA's commitment to addressing unmet medical needs.

The merger not only focuses on expanding NAYA’s therapeutic portfolio but also emphasizes value creation for shareholders. By merging a profitable fertility business with innovative therapeutics, the company aims to deliver sustainable growth and robust financial performance. The combination of steady revenue from the fertility segment with high-potential oncology and autoimmune disease products positions NAYA favorably in the competitive biotech landscape.

In summary, the merger between NVO Bioscience and NAYA Biosciences signifies a transformative moment for both entities. With a focus on innovative therapies and the maintenance of a strong revenue-generating fertility business, NAYA is poised to make significant strides in the healthcare sector. Investors and stakeholders can look forward to the company’s continued development of groundbreaking therapies, promising a bright future for NAYA Biosciences.
