MENLO PARK, CA--(Marketwire - Jan 7, 2013) - AntriaBio, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutics for the diabetes market, is pleased to announce the acquisition of the significant assets of PR Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and its intention to become a publicly traded company through a merger.
AntriaBio's lead product candidate, AB101, is a once-a-week injectable basal insulin in preclinical development. AB101 is administered by subcutaneous injection and targets patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes who require basal insulin for the control of hyperglycemia. The formulation has been designed to release insulin slowly and uniformly over a period of approximately one week.
"AB101 has the potential to be a clearly differentiated product that represents a significant advance in basal insulin delivery," said Nevan Elam, AntriaBio's President and CEO. "AB101 may offer significant advantages over basal insulin products sold by Sanofi-Aventis and Novo Nordisk, which together sell more than $7B annually."
In October 2012, AntriaBio entered into an agreement to purchase substantially all of the PRP assets including significant technology, formulation, manufacturing and intellectual property assets which together form the basis of AntriaBio's drug development portfolio. AntriaBio expects to formally close the transaction later this month.
In addition, later this month AntriaBio plans on merging with Fits My Style Inc. (OTCQB: FMYY) which is currently listed and trading on the OTC Bulletin Board and the OTCQB. In a share exchange transaction, the stockholders of AntriaBio will contribute all of the capital stock of AntriaBio to FMYY. In exchange, the AntriaBio Stockholders will receive newly issued shares of common stock from FMYY, which shall constitute approximately 88% of the issued and outstanding common stock of FMYY and FMYY will assume the AntriaBio, Inc. name. The closing of the share exchange agreement is anticipated to occur later this month subject to, among other things, the negotiation and execution of the definitive agreements.
