NOTE 15 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Axiom Real-Time Metrics Inc. (Axiom), based in Mississauga, Ontario, was placed into receivership on July 11, 2025, after defaulting on a financing agreement with National Bank of Canada, which was owed approximately C$10.4 million. Subsequently, the company’s assets were sold via a court-supervised receivership process, culminating in a transaction transferring substantially all its assets to Sitero Canada Inc., which closed on approximately July 31, 2025. This is relevant to the Company because it reduces the chance that the Company may be able to collect some or all the funds it has claimed it is owed by Axiom.

 

On July 18, 2025, the Company designated Tim Wright as a member of the Board of Directors.

 

The Board of Directors resolved on July 31, 2025, to approve the forgiveness of an intercompany loan owed by ABTI Pharma Limited to the Company, in the amount of £317,480.40 GBP ($410,756 USD), effective as of March 31, 2025. The amount was written off, in accordance with the recommendation of the Company’s accountants.

 

On August 7, 2025, the Board approved a change in the Company’s fiscal year-end from December 31 to March 31, effective immediately. The Company intends to file a transition report on Form 10-QT with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the transition period beginning April 1, 2025 and ending June 30, 2025. 

 

On August 8, 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Protagenic Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company” or “Protagenic”) approved a focused restructuring plan (the “Restructuring Plan”) to transition to a virtual operating model and concentrate capital on the Company’s highest-priority clinical program(s). In approving the Restructuring Plan, the Board determined that a disciplined cost structure and a sharper focus on near-term value inflection are in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

 

Under the Restructuring Plan, the Company has (i) temporarily suspended expenditures related to its preclinical programs and (ii) initiated a process to evaluate strategic alternatives for those programs, including partnerships and/or out-licensing, with the objective of advancing them with appropriate external funding while preserving cash for the Company’s lead clinical assets. The Company is reducing operating expenses, overhead, and headcount primarily associated with preclinical activities.

 

When fully implemented, the Restructuring Plan is expected to reduce annualized operating expenses by approximately $8 million. The Company expects to incur one-time charges in connection with the Restructuring Plan; however, because key actions remain in process, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the total amount or timing of such charges at this time and will provide an update in a subsequent filing once such amounts are estimable.

 

Also on August 8, 2025, in connection with the Restructuring Plan, the Board a terminated the employment of (i) Barrett Evans as Chief Executive Officer and President and (ii) Colin Stott as Chief Operating Officer, in each case effective immediately. Messrs. Evans and Stott remain members of the Company’s Board of Directors. Any severance or other compensatory agreements, if applicable, will be disclosed when determined.
