LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESSWIRE / October 18, 2023 / Odyssey Health, Inc. (OTCQB:ODYY), f/k/a Odyssey Group International, Inc., a company focused on developing unique, life-enhancing medical products is providing an update on its Asset Purchase Agreement with Oragenics, Inc. (NYSE: OGEN).
When the Asset Purchase Agreement is consummated, Odyssey will receive eight (8) million shares of Oragenics Series F Convertible Preferred Stock at the close of the transaction. Oragenics has approximately 2.5 million shares of common stock outstanding. The preferred stock converts to Oragenics common stock on a one-to-one basis. In addition, Odyssey will receive $1 million in cash, of which $500,000 was paid on signing and $500,000 will be paid on the sooner of ninety days from the October 4, 2023, signing of the agreement, or on the successful proxy vote of the Odyssey stockholders.
The Company believes that asset sale is in the best interest of stockholders and provides many benefits. The 8 million shares of Series F Preferred Stock will become an asset of Odyssey. Oragenics has the resources and cash, as well as the ability to raise additional capital to fund the development of the platform technology and begin the clinical trials for the concussion drug.
"We are excited to be teaming with Oragenics to further the development and clinical trials of our novel neurological drug and drug delivery technologies. Oragenics has significant experience with nasal delivery and provides excellent synergy with our nasal drug delivery technology. Oragenics, Inc. trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol: OGEN and the preferred shares, will provide tremendous stockholder value in the future," commented Michael Redmond, CEO of Odyssey.
The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2023, subject to the satisfaction of various closing conditions, including approval of the transaction by Odyssey's shareholders and approval of the conversion of the Series F Preferred Stock by Oragenics shareholders.

About Our Drug Candidate
Our drug candidate is a fully synthetic non-naturally occurring neurosteroid being developed for the treatment of mTBI (concussion). In preclinical studies, the drug has demonstrated equivalent, if not superior, neuroprotective effects compared to related neurosteroids. Animal models of concussion demonstrated that the drug reduces the behavioral pathology associated with brain injury symptoms such as memory impairment, anxiety, and motor/sensory performance. Additionally, the drug is lipophilic and in pre-clinical studies has shown it can easily cross the blood-brain barrier to rapidly eliminate swelling, oxidative stress and inflammation in the brain while restoring proper blood flow.
