Zosano Pharma Provides Corporate Update
April 29 2022 - 3:00PM
Zosano Pharma Corporation (NASDAQ:ZSAN), a clinical-stage
biopharmaceutical company, today provided a corporate update.
On April 14, 2022, the Food and Drug Administration granted
Zosano a twelve-month extension to April 20, 2023 to resubmit its
M207 New Drug Application. However, in order to preserve its
capital and cash resources, Zosano has suspended its M207 program.
Additionally, the company’s remaining feasibility study with a
pharmaceutical partner is expected to conclude this quarter.
Zosano recently implemented an additional workforce reduction
impacting approximately 40% of its remaining employees and
suspended GMP manufacturing operations at its Fremont, California
facility. The company has also suspended activities at its
third-party contract manufacturing organizations related to the
qualification of commercial manufacturing equipment. The company is
currently evaluating its long-lived assets for the impairment
related to these actions. As of April 26, 2022, the company had
approximately $11.4 million of cash and cash equivalents.
Subsequent to its 35-to-1 reverse stock split, Zosano was
notified by The Nasdaq Stock Market on April 27, 2022 that it has
regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) because the
closing bid price of the company’s common stock was $1 per share or
greater from April 12, 2022 to April 26, 2022.
The company is continuing to work with SierraConstellation
Partners, LLC as an independent financial advisor to assist in
exploring financial and strategic alternatives to maximize value,
which may include, but not be limited to, asset or equity sales,
joint venture and partnership opportunities, and restructuring,
amendment or refinancing of existing liabilities. However, there
can be no assurances that the company will be able to successfully
restructure its liabilities or complete any strategic
transactions.
