On May 13, 2024, the Company and certain shareholders of Orocidin, a Danish stock corporation entered into a Stock Purchase and Sale Agreement (“Business Combination”), under which the Company issued 3,800,000 restricted shares of its Common Stock to the Sellers in exchange for 95% of Orocidin’s outstanding shares of capital stock. The shares were valued at $5.00, the closing stock price of the Company on the date of acquisition.

 

Orocidin is a preclinical-stage biotechnology company, and is developing a proprietary first-of-its-kind medical treatment for aggressive periodontitis.

 

The Company accounted for the transaction as a business combination under ASC 805 and as a result, allocated the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the underlying identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed was allocated to goodwill.

 

The $15,680,760 of acquired intangible assets was assigned to IPR&D assets that was recognized at fair value on the acquisition date. To value the IPR&D, the Company utilized the Multi-Period Excess Earnings Method (“MPEEM”), under the Income Approach. The method considers the present value of excess earnings generated by Orocidin’s IPR&D after taking into account the cost to realize the revenue, charges for contributory assets and an appropriate discount rate to reflect the time value and risk associated with the invested capital. IPR&D acquired represents Orocidin’s research and development activities related to its next generation of periodontitis therapies.

 

On November 11, 2024, the Company acquired the remaining 29,663 outstanding common shares and voting interest, or 5.34%, of Orocidin.
