Dyadic Announces Closing of Private Placement of $6.0 Million Convertible Notes to Accelerate Near-Term Revenue Growth and Commercialization - Seite 2

Mr. Emalfarb continued, “We believe the top-line safety and reactogenicity results for Dyadic’s first in human clinical trial is transformational because we successfully demonstrated for the first time that a protein manufactured using our C1 technology platform is safe for use in humans. Within months of announcing the successful Phase I milestone, we have received increased interest across industry collaborators, including two top ten pharmaceutical companies, resulting in the initiation of more than twelve fully funded vaccine and antibody targets. Additionally, the Company remains dedicated to driving near-term revenue and growth through innovation and commercialization efforts, expanding the use of the Dapibus platform for developing alternative recombinant proteins, such as alpha-lactalbumin, recombinant human albumin, and non-animal dairy enzymes for food production, across various applications.” Mr. Emalfarb concluded, “I cannot overstate how exciting this time is in Dyadic’s history. We are uniquely positioned to rapidly capitalize on the present opportunities and those on the horizon.”

Dyadic intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Convertible Notes for working capital and general corporate purposes.
