Will eliminate approximately $16M in closing obligations
Aditxt, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADTX) (“Aditxt” or the “Company”), a social innovation platform accelerating promising health innovations, today announced that it has determined it is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to terminate the previously announced Arrangement Agreement with Appili Therapeutics, Inc.
The Arrangement Agreement, originally announced in April 2024, had been amended several times to extend key milestones and accommodate changing circumstances. Despite these efforts, Aditxt has concluded that it is no longer strategically aligned to move forward under the terms of the agreement. Management intends to formally notify Appili of the termination, effective May 31, 2025.
“We greatly appreciate the Appili team and respect the important work they are doing,” said Amro Albanna, Co-Founder and CEO of Aditxt. “After careful consideration, we’ve determined that this would be the best course of action.”
Further details will be provided as appropriate.

Aditxt’s ecosystem of research institutions, industry partners, and shareholders collaboratively drives their mission to "Make Promising Innovations Possible Together." The innovation platform is the cornerstone of Aditxt’s strategy, where multiple disciplines drive disruptive growth and address significant societal challenges.

Aditxt currently operates two programs focused on immune health and precision health. The Company plans to introduce an additional program dedicated to women’s health. To this end, Aditxt has entered into a Merger Agreement with Evofem Biosciences, Inc. (“Evofem”) (OTCQB: EVFM). The program will be designed to function autonomously while collectively advancing Aditxt’s mission of discovering, developing, and deploying innovative health solutions to tackle some of the most urgent health challenges. The closing of the transaction with Evofem is subject to several conditions, including but not limited to approval of the transactions by the respective target shareholders and Aditxt raising sufficient capital to fund its obligations at closing. These obligations include cash payments of approximately $17 million for Evofem, which includes approximately $15.2 million required to satisfy Evofem's senior secured noteholder; should Aditxt fail to secure these funds, Evofem's senior secured noteholder is expected to seek to prevent the closing of the merger with Evofem. No assurance can be provided that all of the conditions to closing will be obtained or satisfied or that the transaction will ultimately close.
