Comments: On January 3, 2025, VBI Vaccines Inc. completed a transaction in connection with an acquisition agreement entered with K2 VBI Equity Trust, LLC. The company underwent substantial restructuring proceedings under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) that commenced on July 30, 2024. The agreement resulted in the acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets of VBI and its subsidiaries, which included the cancellation and redemption of all issued common shares for no consideration. In exchange, a new class of common shares was issued to the Purchaser in consideration for forgiving debts under pre-existing loan agreements.
