TORONTO, March 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Antibe Therapeutics Inc. (“Antibe” or the “Company”) announced that, in connection with its previously announced receivership proceedings, the Company completed a transaction (the “Transaction”) on March 17, 2025 whereby Taro Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the “Purchaser”) purchased all of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company from FTI Consulting Inc. (the “Receiver”), in its capacity as court-appointed receiver and manager of the Company, pursuant to a transaction agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) dated January 15, 2025.

On January 29, 2025, the Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) (the “Court”) granted an order under section 101 of the Courts of Justice Act pursuant to which the Court, among other things, approved the Transaction Agreement and also (i) added 1001138302 Ontario Ltd.

On March 6, 2025, an order was issued by the Ontario Securities Commission (“OSC”) for the partial revocation of the failure-to-file cease trade order (“FFCTO”) issued by the OSC on July 10, 2024 as a result of the Company’s failure to file certain continuous disclosure documents. The Company has filed with the OSC an application for a full revocation of the FFCTO and an application to cease to be a reporting issuer in each of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario and Saskatchewan.
