Proxy filing summary
30 Oct, 2026Executive summary
Merger agreement signed July 7, 2026; the Delaware domestication is planned immediately before Scipher’s merger, with closing expected in Q4 2026 and a planned name change to Scipher Medicine Corporation and Nasdaq ticker SCIP.
Before the PIPE, ownership is expected to be 68% for former Scipher securityholders and 32% for pre-merger holders, subject to adjustments; assigned valuations are $102 million and $48 million, respectively.
The concurrent PIPE is expected to raise $30 million–$50 million at a $150 million pre-money valuation, with 100% warrant coverage at 50% of the PIPE valuation; at the $30 million minimum, illustrative ownership is 56.70% Scipher noteholders, 26.70% pre-merger holders and 16.60% PIPE investors, excluding warrant shares.
Planned strategy pairs nebokitug with Scipher’s precision-medicine platform for a Phase 2 rheumatoid arthritis trial; an IND submission is expected in 2026 and recruitment is planned for H1 2027, subject to FDA acceptance.
Voting matters and shareholder proposals
The December 4, 2026 meeting agenda has six proposals: merger approval, domestication, PIPE issuance, director election, 2026 equity incentive plan and 2026 employee stock purchase plan; the board unanimously recommends FOR each.
Proposals 1–4 require a majority of shares present and voting and are interconditional merger conditions; proposals 5–6 are not required to complete the merger.
The domestication vote also requires majority support from votes not held by Parent Affiliates; holders must affirm they are not an affiliate for their vote to count on that proposal.
Support agreements cover approximately 20% of pre-merger voting power; the required Scipher securityholder consents were obtained by written consent in July 2026.
Board of directors and corporate governance
The post-closing board is planned at five members: four Scipher designees and one designee, Adi Mor; Reginald Seeto is expected to serve as CEO and president.
Board terms are staggered across three classes, expiring at annual meetings in 2027, 2028 and 2029; directors may be removed only for cause with a two-thirds vote.
Proposed audit, compensation and nominating/governance committees are to be established before closing; Nasdaq independence standards apply, and the nominating committee will oversee board composition, succession, ESG and sustainability matters.
A code of business conduct and ethics is planned to apply to directors, officers and employees after closing, with substantive amendments or waivers to be disclosed publicly.
