RADNOR, Pa., July 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- NRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: NRXP) ("NRx Pharmaceuticals", the "Company"
, a clinical stage pharmaceutical company, today announced the issuance of an order by a Utah arbitrator denying the petition of Streeterville Capital, LLC to enjoin NRx's planned spinoff of 49% of the shares in HOPE Therapeutics to current shareholders of NRx pharmaceuticals. While the proposed spinoff remains subject to compliance with certain disclosure and other requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the spinoff is intended to provide NRx shareholders with an opportunity to participate in the anticipated value created as a result of the spinoff and to enable a potential listing of HOPE Therapeutics (currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of NRx) on a national securities exchange. The arbitrator also denied Streeterville's petition to enjoin NRx from selling additional shares of NRx stock to finance ongoing operations.
