development for infectious diseases and medical countermeasures,
today announced the results from its special meeting of
shareholders held earlier today (the “Meeting”). Shareholders of
the Company (the “Shareholders”), overwhelmingly voted in favour of
a special resolution approving a plan of arrangement pursuant to
which Aditxt Inc. (NASDAQ:ADTX) (“Aditxt”), through its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Adivir, Inc. will acquire all of the
issued and outstanding Class A common shares of the Company (the
“Appili Shares”) by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement

A total of 35,770,287 Appili Shares were voted

outstanding Appili Shares. The Transaction was approved by (i)
99.79% of the votes cast by Shareholders at the Meeting and (ii)

and delivering on its mission to protect patients from severe
infectious diseases.
“The alignment with Aditxt will facilitate our
access to capital and activates promising opportunities for Appili
across multiple fronts. Through Aditxt’s social incubator platform,
we can amplify our impact and reach in the infectious diseases and
medical countermeasure landscape.” said Dr. Don Cilla, President
and CEO of Appili. “By leveraging Aditxt’s mission to "Make
Promising Innovations Possible Together", we aim to prepare
ATI-1701 for IND submission, implement FDA’s agreed upon strategy
for ATI-1801, and enhance commercialization for LIKMEZ™ and
capitalize on the strategic value of two potential PRV eligible
programs.”
The Transaction is conditional upon certain
customary closing conditions and Aditxt raising at least US$20
million in financing. The Transaction is expected to close in Q4
