PSTI and Corporate Venture Capital sign a binding term sheet for the establishment of a new Japanese corporation for the clinical development/commercialization of its PLX-PAD cell therapy product in Japan
Following completion of fund-raising, the parties plan to establish NewCo in Japan.
The Bottom Line: Pluristem will own 35% of NewCo in return for its contribution of a perpetual license to commercialize PLX-PAD for Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI) in Japan. All proprietary rights related to PLX-PAD will be exclusively owned by PSTI. Sosei ‘s CVC's investment fund, Sosei RMF1, together with additional Japanese investors, will raise and invest $11 M in return for ownership of 65% of NewCo.
PSTI closed UP +$0.08 and should be UP at the open BUT, why so early a release?
**** WHY not wait until the deal is concluded? Typical Pluristem … as quick as it jumps, it will fall ****
