The Enterprise Court of Nivelles approves the BioSenic
restructuring plan
PRESS RELEASE – PRIVILEGED INFORMATION
Mont-Saint-Guibert, Belgium, June 14,
2024 7.00am CEST – BioSenic
(Euronext Brussels and Paris: BIOS), the clinical
stage company specializing in serious autoimmune and inflammatory
diseases, as well as cell repair, announces that it has received
the homologation judgment for the restructuring plan filed with the
Enterprise Court of Nivelles. This homologation judgment makes the
plan binding on all deferred creditors, and the measures provided
for therein will continue until June 2029, the end of the five-year
period set by law.
The restructuring plan can be accessed via the
following link:

The homologation judgment closes the judicial
reorganization procedure. BioSenic's board of directors will take
the necessary decisions to implement the approved plan, and will
convene a shareholders' meeting as soon as possible to ensure the
conversion of the convertible bonds (other than those subscribed by
Global Tech Opportunities 15) in accordance with the agreed
terms.
Prof. François Rieger, President of the
Board and CEO of the BioSenic Group, said: "The judicial
reorganisation procedure initiated on 12 October 2023, with a
4-month reprieve from BioSenic's accumulated debts, the heaviest
inherited from Bone Therapeutics, has led us to devise a general
plan to restructure the company and its receivables in order to
meet the needs of its development. This restructuring plan has
received the positive opinion of the vast majority of creditors -
grouped into classes of interest - and the Enterprise Court of
Nivelles has taken this into account to send us its approval today.
The completion of this plan puts us in a new era for BioSenic,
enabling us to face the challenges typical of a biotech company in
the advanced clinical trials phase. Indeed, our main challenge is
now to run and successfully complete an international phase 3
clinical trial for the indication of graft versus host disease
(cGvHD), while developing our Lupus and Systemic Sclerosis
projects".
About BioSenic
BioSenic is a leading biotech company
specializing in the development of clinical assets issued from its
Medsenic’s arsenic trioxide (ATO) platform. Key target indications
for the autoimmune platform include graft-versus-host-disease
(GvHD), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and now systemic
sclerosis (SSc).Following the merger in October 2022, BioSenic
combined the strategic positionings and strengths of Medsenic and
Bone Therapeutics. The merger specifically enables
Medsenic/Biosenic to develop an entirely new arsenal of various
anti-inflammatory and anti-autoimmune formulations using the
immunomodulatory properties of ATO/oral ATO (OATO).
BioSenic is based in the Louvain-la-Neuve
Science Park in Mont-Saint-Guibert, Belgium. Further information is
available at http://www.biosenic.com.
About the main Medsenic/BioSenic
technology platform
The ATO platform provides
derived active products with immunomodulatory properties and
fundamental effects on the activated cells of the immune system.
One direct application is its use in onco-immunology to treat GvHD
(Graft-versus-Host Disease) in its chronic, established stage.
cGvHD is one of the most common and clinically significant
complications affecting long-term survival of allogeneic
hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).
Medsenic has been successful in a phase 2 trial
with its intravenous formulation, Arscimed®, which
has orphan drug designation status by FDA and EMA. The company is
heading towards an international phase 3 confirmatory study, with
its new, IP-protected, OATO formulation. Another selected target is
moderate-to-severe forms of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE),
using the same oral formulation. ATO has shown good safety and
significant clinical efficacy on several affected organs (skin,
mucosae, and the gastrointestinal tract). Systemic sclerosis is now
full part of the clinical pipeline of Medsenic/BioSenic. This
serious chronic disease badly affects skin, lungs, or
vascularization, and has no current effective treatment.
Preclinical studies on pertinent animal models are positive, giving
good grounds to launch a phase 2 clinical protocol, using new
immunomodulatory formulations of APIs recognized to be active on
the immune system.
The company is currently focusing its present
R&D and clinical activities on a selective, accelerated
development of its autoimmune platform.
Note: The allogeneic cell therapy
platform-originating from the previous listed company Bone
Therapeutics company, may be of renewed interest by using isolated
and purified differentiated bone marrow Mesenchymal Stromal Cells
(MSCs) as a starting material for further isolation of passive or
active biological subcellular elements. Indeed, these cells may
provide new subcellular vesicles potentially able to deliver a
unique and proprietary approach to organ repair. BioSenic is now
involved in determining new patentable approaches in this complex
area of cell therapy.
