Zero Candida Announces its Intent to Complete Listing of its Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange (Canada) at a Proposed Valuation of 40 million Canadian Dollars

TEL AVIV, Israel, June 3, 2024 /CNW/ -- Zero Candida (the "Company" or "ZC ") an Israeli FemTech medical device start-up is pleased to announce that it is in the process of applying to the TSX Venture Exchange in Canada to list its shares at a proposed valuation of 40 million Canadian dollars.

About Zero Candida:

ZC is a private FemTech technology company incorporated under the corporate laws of the State of Israel. ZC is developing an AI smart tampon-like device based on AI on a therapeutic light source with a selected wave-length and intensity that can treat the Candida fungus with successfully of 99.999% an POC. Vulvo-Vaginal Candidiasis ("VVC") affects about 75% of women globally, each year 138 million women are affected world-wide and 492 million over their lifetime. Recurrent VVC (4 or more episodes per year) is increasingly documented to become drug resistant to existing treatments and constitutes up to 10% of the cases of VVC. Existing treatments are unable to overcome the high rate of recurrence, since the root cause of the condition is poorly understood and addressed.

ZC has signed pre-clinical agreements with hospitals in Israel and Europe and the company has successfully completed a safety trial for the use of a pre-clinical device in large animals (sheep) ZC continues the development of the final product for human use in preparation for a clinical trial that took place in June 2025.

Zero Candida's device will bring the field of gynecology into the 21st century with hybrid medicine and technology-based diagnostics. At the same time as developing the treatment procedure, Zero Candida is working on creating a technology to enable the hybrid medicine services to be provided by gynecologists to populations that until now received no treatment at all, including, among others, in the developing countries.

Summary of Transaction

Pursuant to the business combination agreement (the "Agreement") between a Canadian reporting issuer (the "Reporting Issuer") and the Company, the transaction is expected to be contemplated by a three-cornered amalgamation, where the Reporting Issuer's wholly owned Israeli subsidiary incorporated solely for the purpose of the transaction, is expected to amalgamate with ZC. Each holder (each a " ZC Shareholder") of ZC Share, other than a ZC Shareholder who exercised Dissent Rights (as defined in the Israeli Companies Law) is expected to receive 8.6277 eight and six thousand two hundred seventy seven ten-thousandths) shares in the capital of the Reporting Issuer (each a "Resulting Issuer Share") in exchange for each ZC Share held by such ZC Shareholder, resulting in the Company issuing up to an aggregate of 12,223,232 Resulting Issuer's Shares (which will represent approximately 85.94% of the issued and outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares, without taking into consideration any ZC share purchase warrants to be exercised immediately prior to completion of the Transaction, stock options or a concurrent financing). Additionally, the holders of stock options of ZC will be entitled to receive Resulting Issuer Shares, instead of ZC Shares, on the exercise of their options.

Eli Ben Haroosh, Founder & CEO: "Zero-Candida's technology is a game changer that will change the treatment of women and FemTech industry in the world. Zero Candida's technology, first of its kind using a controlled "Blue Light", destroys the fungus at record speed and without side effects. The treatment is carried out by a tampon-like medical device which, according to medical experts, provides an optimal solution for removing the fungus altogether, preventing the recurrence of the disease. Another significant advantage of the Zero Candida device is treatment without side effects, in a world where many of us try to improve our health without the use of chemicals. We foresee an amazing future for Zero Candida in the medical devices' world. Zero Candida has a potential to become a technological leader and using its ground-breaking technology to expand boundaries of non-chemical candida treatment".

Dr. Asher Holtzer, Director: "the invention of Zero Candida can potentially become a game changer in the world, the company brings amazing news to FemTech women's care and can become a leader in women's health all over the world. According to studies in the world, 3 out of 4 women, approximately 75%, suffer during their lifetime from Candida disease, a fungal infection that attacks large parts of the female reproductive system, which causes significant damage to the quality of life and, in severe cases, even disability. Until now, the common treatments for candida included antifungal drugs that alleviated the symptoms but failed to solve the problem at its root".
