Biostax Corp. and Statera Biopharma, Inc. reach mutually beneficial dispute settlement and amended license agreement providing clearer clinical and commercial pathways for both companies

Orlando, FL, April 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Immune Therapeutics, Inc. d/b/a Biostax Corp. (OTC Pink: IMUN) (“Biostax”), a hub-and-spoke biotech development engine and Statera Biopharma (OTCPK:STAB) (“Statera”), a biopharmaceutical company creating next-generation immune therapies for cancer, autoimmune disease and infections, announced that the Board of Directors of both companies has approved both a joint petition to dismiss the involuntary bankruptcy case with Statera and an amended royalty-bearing license agreement between Biostax and Statera for select Statera intellectual property.

Under Amendment No. 3 to the License Agreement, Biostax will pay royalties to Statera and obtain worldwide exclusive rights to numerous patents surrounding Low-dose Naltrexone and Met-enkephalin (MENK), for all indications except Crohn’s Disease, which Statera will continue to develop and commercialize. Detailed terms about the settlement and the amended license agreement may be found at www.biostaxcorp.com and www.staterabiopharma.com.

Kelly Wilson, Chief Executive Officer of Biostax Corp. said, “This settlement agreement is an important step for Biostax, as it supports solidifying and expanding our position within the low-dose naltrexone and TLR4 space. It also helps avoid various worldwide intellectual property disputes, secures licensing rights to some of Statera’s intellectual property, provides a clearer clinical and commercial pathway for years to come, and expands opportunities to explore new indications and territories. We believe that this settlement is beneficial to our company, shareholders, and potential patients. Congratulations to our Board of Directors and executives, along with the Board of Directors and executive team at Statera Biopharma, for reaching this agreement, which allows both companies to benefit and move forward with their respective programs.”

“This settlement with Biostax represents a major next step in moving forward with the previously announced merger proposal with Worksite Labs which could enhance shareholder value and strengthen the company’s operating performance,” commented Michael K. Handley, Chief Executive Officer of Statera Biopharma.  He also noted, “We look forward to issuing additional details regarding the merger intent over the next several weeks as well as our efforts to work with Biostax to help patients and create shareholder value.”
