In an effort to establish a new product pipeline, on April 26, 2024, we entered into a Binding Term Sheet with Oncotelic pursuant to which we intend to acquire (i) certain rights to Oncotelic’s clinical stage necroptosis cancer therapies associated with its vascular disruptive agents (“VDAs”) and related regulatory and clinical packages, and (ii) non-exclusive access to its proprietary Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) technologies for identifying immunotherapy combinations, in exchange for the issuance of shares of our common stock valued at $15.0 million upon execution of the definitive agreement (representing 47,923,322 shares of our common stock), or a combination of common stock and preferred stock to be determined by the parties, along with additional milestones allowing Oncotelic to earn up to an additional $15.0 million in shares of common stock that would be valued at the time of issuance, if earned. Pursuant to the Binding Term Sheet, we and Oncotelic agreed to negotiate in good faith towards the execution of a definitive agreement and the closing of the transaction by June 30, 2025, as amended, which is subject to customary due diligence and other conditions, including us obtaining shareholder approval for the transaction and receiving waivers from our holders of Convertible Notes representing at least 90% of the principal amount outstanding from any payment that would become due and payable upon a corporate transaction as contemplated under the Binding Term Sheet.

In addition, under the Binding Term Sheet, (i) we will continue the development work necessary to achieve the mutually agreed upon milestones upon the requisite funding, (ii) Oncotelic will provide a loan to us to cover certain operational costs of the Company through June 1, 2024, (iii) Oncotelic will assist the Company in potentially raising initial funding to support the technologies of $2 million, and (iv) in the event the Company is unable to raise the requisite funding, then the transaction may proceed to a reverse acquisition/merger, with conditions typical of such a transaction.

If we enter into a definitive agreement under the terms of the Binding Term Sheet, our present stockholders will experience immediate substantial dilution and will not have control of our majority voting securities. In addition, if we do not receive shareholder approval for a possible transaction by June 30, 2025, as amended, we may not be able to enter into a definitive agreement with Oncotelic, and we may need to cease our operations altogether. Currently, we and Oncotelic are continuing to pursue a potential transaction under the Binding Term Sheet although there are no guarantees we will enter into any definitive agreement. On December 31, 2024, the expiration date to enter into a possible transaction with Oncotelic was extended to June 30, 2025. 

On July 1, 2024, we entered into a Master Services Agreement with Oncotelic whereby we perform advisory and related services in connection with studies and projects. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we earned $14,000 for advisory and related services which is recorded in other income in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.
