Joseph Moscato, Generex President & Chief Executive Officer stated: “I am excited to give our first shareholder conference call to update investors about the development of our Ii-Key complete vaccine against the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus that continues to ravage the world. We have completed our ex vivo human trial of COVID-19 patient samples and can confirm that the results of the T cell activation and antibody screen have enabled us to select Ii-Key-SARS-CoV-2 epitopes for our vaccine formulation. I will provide an update on these results as well as the results of our ongoing immunogenicity study that will confirm the commercial viability of our Ii-Key vaccine. In addition, I will update everyone on our progress and timing on the NuGenerex Immuno-Oncology Nasdaq listing now that our third-party valuation analysis has been completed with a value estimated at over $500 million. This third-party valuation report is the last piece of information required to enable us to set the price per share to meet the standards for the Nasdaq. I will also provide a complete corporate update including discussions of our subsidiaries”.
Dial-in instructions for the investor conference call will be announced prior to the meeting date.
