BERNAY, France and NIDWALDEN, Switzerland , Aug. 23, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Biolog-id, a digital health solution provider focusing on value-chain optimization, and Genesis Growth Tech Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: GGAA) (“GGAA” or “Genesis”), a special purpose acquisition company, today announced that the companies have entered into a memorandum of understanding in connection with a proposed merger of Biolog-id and Genesis (the “MoU”).

Pursuant to the MoU, and in accordance with applicable French law, the parties have agreed to initiate a consultation with the social and economic committee (comité social et économique) of Biolog-id concerning the proposed merger. To facilitate the consultation process, GGAA submitted its irrevocable and binding commitment (the “Option”) for the proposed merger upon, and subject to, the terms and conditions of a Business Combination Agreement (the “BCA”) to be entered into by the parties if Biolog-id exercises the Option upon completion of the consultation process. The Option will automatically terminate if it has not been exercised on the day immediately after the expiry date (being the earlier of (i) five business days after the completion or deemed completion of the consultation process; and (ii) December 22, 2022) (unless extended in writing by the parties).

The boards of directors of both Biolog-id and Genesis have unanimously approved the MoU.

“When we founded Biolog-id, we were convinced that significant opportunities existed in bringing efficiencies and real-time data solutions to the healthcare supply chain marketplace,” said Jean-Claude Mongrenier, founder, shareholder, and Chairman of the Biolog-id Board of Directors. “We believe that this transaction reinforces Biolog-id’s position as a strong player in this market worldwide, and we are very excited by the possibilities that this combination with Genesis represent.”

“We are proud of our role in financing Biolog-id through its initial proof-of-concept and early development,” added Jacques Simonnet, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Xérys Invest, the principal shareholder of Biolog-id. “The proposed merger with Genesis could give Biolog-id a strong foundation to pursue unique opportunities in multiple areas within the digital health space.”

“We would like to thank our partners at Xérys Funds and our other investors for their support of Biolog-id since its inception,” said Troy L. Hilsenroth, CEO of Biolog-id. “We believe that this deal could allow us to accelerate our commercial momentum and grow our recurring and total revenue streams in multiple, fast-growing healthcare segments. Through this combination with Genesis, we expect to be well positioned to bring our value-chain optimization solutions to major markets in the U.S., Europe, India, and the Middle East.”

“Genesis believes that Biolog-id’s proven technology, combined with the clear demand in the digital health space, makes this an attractive investment for our shareholders,” said Eyal Perez, Chairman and CEO of Genesis Growth Tech Acquisition Corp. “We are pleased and proud to partner up with Biolog-id’s leadership team on their mission to optimize the manufacturing, distribution, and utilization of sensitive health products. We are excited about the significant operational, clinical, and financial benefits for patients, providers, payors, and other elements of the healthcare supply chain.”

Transaction Overview

In the transaction, GGAA will merge with and into Biolog-id with Biolog-id as the surviving company. GGAA shareholders will receive the related Biolog-id ordinary share merger consideration in the form of American depositary shares (“ADSs”).

Upon closing of the proposed transaction, anticipated to occur in the first quarter of 2023, the combined company will continue to operate under the name “Biolog-id”, and its ADSs are expected to be listed on Nasdaq under the new ticker symbol “BGID”.
