Sirona Biochem Secures Strategic Investment Agreements and New Joint Venture with Promura GmbH

Sirona Biochem Corp. (TSX-V: SBM) (FSE: ZSB) (OTC: SRBCF)(“Sirona”), a biotechnology company specializing cosmetic ingredients and new drug discoveries, is pleased to announce the successful execution of a strategic investment agreement with Promura GmbH, a German-based investor. The agreement includes the private placement of $3 million CAD in unsecured, 12% convertible debentures, by Promura GmbH.

In addition to the convertible loan, Sirona and Promura have signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) outlining the formation of Sirona Laboratories, a new, jointly operated subsidiary focused on dermatological and cosmetic innovation. Sirona Laboratories will be established in Luxembourg and will be responsible for the exclusive distribution of anti-aging products based on the TFC-1326 active ingredient.

Promura has expressed its intention to invest up to $12 million CAD into Sirona Labs, contingent on the completion of certain due diligence procedures and the fulfillment of specific conditions. As part of the partnership, Promura will also provide experienced personnel to manage operations, drawing on extensive industry expertise in cosmetics and dermaceuticals.

This commitment signals a significant step forward in the company’s growth and development.

“We are thrilled to partner with Promura GmbH and are excited about the strong foundation this investment provides for Sirona’s future and the establishment of a subsidiary, Sirona Laboratories. The additional investment, pending due diligence, will further strengthen our position in the market and help us accelerate the commercialization of our anti-aging product line. This partnership enables us to move forward with our plans to market our innovative anti-aging treatments, an area we believe holds immense potential for growth and impact in the health and wellness industry,” said Dr. Howard Verrico, CEO of Sirona Biochem.

Proceeds from the initial private placement will be allocated toward general working capital, ongoing research and development, and the commercialization of Sirona’s proprietary anti-aging product line. Funds will also be used to complete the company’s overdue audited financial statements and annual Management’s Discussion and Analysis, addressing the cease trade order issued by the British Columbia Securities Commission on March 6, 2025. These initiatives reflect Sirona’s continued commitment to advancing innovative therapeutics that redefine the cosmeceutical and treatment landscape. The financing is expected to close within 60 days. In the interim, Sirona intends to announce a smaller bridge financing to support these same objectives. Sirona Biochem is committed to delivering innovative solutions to address critical unmet needs in the healthcare industry, and this partnership marks an important milestone in its ongoing efforts to drive shareholder value and bring life-changing products to market.

The Company plans to compensate finders by way of cash fees and warrants.

The completion of the Private Placement is subject to customary conditions, including acceptance from the Toronto Stock Exchange Venture (“TSXV”). All securities issued will be subject to a hold period in accordance with TSXV and/or other regulatory requirements.

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of any offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. The Convertible Debentures and the Shares which may be issued on exercise thereof have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”) and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws.

AbbVie and U of T Mississauga's SpinUp Announce Neuropeutics Inc as First AbbVie Biotech Innovators Award Recipient

AbbVie and U of T Mississauga's SpinUp Announce Neuropeutics Inc as First AbbVie Biotech Innovators Award Recipient

  • Following a national competition, AbbVie and SpinUp – the University of Toronto's lab-based, life sciences accelerator – announce Neuropeutics Inc as recipient of first AbbVie Biotech Innovators Award
  • Neuropeutics Inc receives a year of laboratory space and equipment at no cost, as well as access to support and mentorship

AbbVie (NYSE: ABBV) in partnership with the University of Toronto's SpinUp, are pleased to announce Neuropeutics Inc as the recipient of the AbbVie Biotech Innovators Award, a national prize to help foster innovation and support growth in Canada's life sciences sector. Following a competitive selection process, the award, funded by AbbVie, has been granted to Neuropeutics Inc for developing small molecules preventing and reversing protein aggregation as therapeutics for neurodegenerative diseases.

"We are delighted to have this opportunity to collaborate with a global biopharmaceutical company such as AbbVie, and the University of Toronto's SpinUp, to advance Neuropeutics' therapeutic research and development across multiple neurodegenerative diseases. At Neuropeutics, we are committed to developing targeted therapies to extend neurodegenerative disease patients' survival and improve their quality of life. This award allows us to pursue that mission with greater momentum," said Dr. Marc Shenouda , CEO & Co-Founder of Neuropeutics Inc.

Neuropeutics Inc's scientific entrepreneurial spirit directly aligns with the mandate of the AbbVie Biotech Innovators Award to foster research, innovation and growth within Canada's life sciences sector. A hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases is protein aggregation. One such protein is TDP-43, a normally nuclear DNA/RNA binding protein, which in disease conditions becomes mislocalized and forms cytoplasmic aggregates causing neuronal toxicity. Neuropeutics Inc has developed a novel strategy to address diseases such as: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Frontotemporal dementia, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease and Parkinson's disease.

"It was impressive and motivating to see the variety of entries and the calibre of early-stage biotech companies who applied for the Award. We thank all who participated in this life science competition," said Rami Fayed, Vice President and General Manager of AbbVie Canada. "After a rigorous evaluation process, it is with great pleasure that we are announcing that Neuropeutics has been named the recipient of the AbbVie Biotech Innovators Award for its pioneering work in neurodegenerative diseases. We look forward to supporting the journey of Neuropeutics, in collaboration with SpinUp, to accelerate their efforts to deliver life-changing innovation to patients."

"Congratulations to Neuropeutics on being the first AbbVie Biotech Innovators Award recipient, and welcome to SpinUp – the University of Toronto's wet lab incubator," said France Gagnon , Vice-Principal, Research and Innovation at the University of Toronto Mississauga. "This is the place where the potential of Neuropeutics' work in neurodegenerative diseases can be realized and the impact on life sciences can be game changing. We are pleased to collaborate with AbbVie, a global leader in the biopharmaceutical industry, to offer this unique opportunity to this competitively chosen startup."

The AbbVie Biotech Innovators Award was launched in 2024 in collaboration with SpinUp, a purpose-built laboratory for chemistry and biological work or wet lab incubator at the University of Toronto . The Award is to support early-stage Canadian biotechnology startup companies with the potential to generate transformational therapies in areas that align with AbbVie's therapeutic areas of focus: immunology, oncology, neuroscience, and eye care. Neuropeutics Inc will receive a year of laboratory space at no cost, in addition to access to SpinUp's core equipment, services, entrepreneurship programming, and research talent community at the University of Toronto . Neuropeutics Inc will also benefit from mentorship by AbbVie's scientific and business executives.
