On February 28, 2025, Predictive Oncology entered into an extension agreement with Renovaro (the “Extension Agreement”), pursuant to which the parties amended the LOI to (i) eliminate Renovaro’s obligation to acquire certain shares of Predictive Oncology’s common stock and (ii) extend the outside termination date of the LOI from February 28, 2025, to March 31, 2025. Additionally, pursuant to the Extension Agreement, Renovaro is acquiring 467,290 shares of Predictive Oncology’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $500,000 and agreed to purchase an additional 901,298 shares of Predictive Oncology common stock for an aggregate of $964,389 upon, and subject to, the execution of a definitive agreement in respect of the Transaction.
The foregoing description of the Extension Agreement is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Extension Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference in this Item 1.01.
On March 3, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing it had entered into the Extension Agreement described above. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
