N2OFF Announces Strategic Initiatives Intended to Maximize Shareholder Value
October 02 2024 - 7:30AM
N2OFF, Inc. (NASDAQ: NITO) (FSE:80W) (“N2OFF” or the “Company”), a
clean tech company engaged in sustainable solutions for the energy
and agri-tech industries, announced today key strategic initiatives
approved by its board of directors (the “Board”) that are intended
to increase shareholder value.
Key Highlights of the Board's
Initiatives
-
Spin-off of
cleantech
activities: N2OFF is considering
pursuing a potential spin-off of its cleantech operations - NTWO
OFF Ltd. and Save Foods Ltd. – into a separate publicly traded
company with the intention of listing that spin-off company on a
national exchange. In connection with the potential spin-off, N2OFF
intends to maintain a controlling stake of at least 75% ownership
in Save Foods Ltd. immediately following such spin-off and will
appoint all members of the new entity’s board of directors. The
timing and terms of any future dividends or distributions related
to the new entity will be determined by the board of directors of
that entity at its discretion.
- Acquisition of a
Computationally advanced Drug
Discovery Company: N2OFF has entered into a non-binding
letter of intent (the “LOI”) to acquire a drug discovery company
with advanced computational structural biology capabilities. The
acquisition contemplates a valuation of at least $5 million, with a
potential increase in valuation by $2 million . The LOI
contemplates that the acquisition would be effected through
combination of cash and equity. N2OFF believes this acquisition, if
consummated, would enable it to tap into a new and lucrative market
and allow the computation drug discovery company to expand into
advanced pharmaceutical research.
- Securing a
€6 Million Credit Line: N2OFF has
successfully negotiated a non-recourse credit facility in the
aggregate amount of €6 million (approximately $6.6 million as of
the date hereof) accruing interest at a rate of 7% per annum. The
Company intends to repay the principal loan amount from profits
derived from projects that are pre-approved by the lenders or by
33% of proceeds received from certain financing transactions.
David Palach, N2OFF’s CEO, said: “I am proud to
lead a company driven by an exceptional team and a forward-thinking
Board. I believe these strategic decisions should not only enhance
our position in the cleantech and pharmaceutical sectors but will
also deliver long-term value to our stockholders.”
