What a great day for Squarex and our investors! We are please to have the endorsement of such a high prestige investor. It’s a real affirmation of years of hard work, and we are only getting started.”

SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA, UNITED STATES, December 7, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Squarex, LLC, announced today that it has signed a term sheet to go public with a notable health-care-focused institutional investor. The terms of the deal outlined would provide Squarex with up to $75 million in financing. The transaction has several trigger points the first of which would be to take Squarex public via a reverse merger with a publicly listed company on the NASDAQ or NYSE that has yet to be identified. Concurrently with the public listing, the company will receive the first $12.5 million tranche, with follow-on investment by the same firm of up to $62.5 million.

The money will be used to complete the Company’s Phase IIb study, subsequent Phase III study, and provide the runway to commercialization. Squarex’s drug SQX770 is unique in that a single topical application to the arm (not the lip or face) has been shown in clinical trials to prevent cold sore outbreaks (oral herpes) for three months in people with frequent outbreaks. It acts by improving the body’s natural immune response to the virus.

Hugh McTavish, Squarex’s founder and CEO commented, “What a great day for Squarex and our investors! We are please to have the endorsement of such a high prestige investor. It’s a real affirmation of years of hard work, and we are only getting started.” Recently, Squarex engaged auditors Baker Tilly US LLP to undertake a PCAOB audit of the company in preparation for going public.

Squarex has elected to keep its regulation Crowdfunding investment campaign on the Wefunder platform open while the company searches for a suitable company to reverse into and while the investment process moves toward final documentation. With the understanding that forward looking statements cannot be guaranteed, Wefunder investors would be buying in at a 30% discount to the stated valuation in the currently signed term sheet.
