Sagaliam Acquisition Corp. Announces Amendment to Non-Binding Term Sheet with Enzolytics Inc. and Addition of New Board Members

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / June 30, 2023 / Sagaliam Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:"SAGAU", "SAGA", "SAGAR") ("we", "us", "our", or the "Company") announced today that it has amended the executed non-binding term sheet for the purchase of Biogenysis, Inc. ("BGEN") and Virogentics Inc. ("VIRO"), operating subsidiaries of Enzolytics Inc. (Pink: ENZC), amending the combined purchase price to $450,000,000.

Sagaliam expects to raise additional capital through a private investment in public equities ("PIPE") transaction. The anticipated capital raise from the PIPE is expected to be used by VIRO to fund the clinical trials of its anti-HIV therapeutic ITV-1, complete the African Project and advance marketing of IPF Immune™. The funds are to be used by BGEN to complete the production of and test species-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) for treating COVID-19, HIV, and Feline Leukemia. The funding will significantly enhance BGEN's drug discovery capabilities using its proprietary, cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology and enlarge its IP portfolio while also expanding the AI platform's capabilities to advance health care based on reactive disease care to P4 medicine, namely care that is predictive, preventive, personalized and participatory.

Charles Cotropia, CEO of Enzolytics, commented, "I want to thank Barry and the former and new Board Members for this opportunity to address the shareholders of SAGA and ENZC as we strive to successfully complete the sale of BGEN and VIRO to SAGA. This transaction, in my opinion, is good for both shareholder groups and the management teams. The parties will strive to provide additional clarification as the final terms are negotiated. ENZC is considering filing a supplemental information report to provide an example of how this transaction is structured and its impact on the ENZC shareholders. Having shares in both of the public entities will provide us with multiple opportunities going forward."

Barry Kostiner, CEO of Sagaliam, commented, "It is a privilege to work with Mr. Cotropia and the rest of the Enzolytics team. I am passionate about Africa, and look forward to being actively involved in both the capital markets strategy and active engagement with leaders of African medical, government and investment communities. The plan for human trials in Africa are expected to provide a path to therapies at a fraction of the cost of the standard of care therapies currently available. Additionally, we are pleased to announce that Ronnie Richardson, Krystine Miller, and Travis Richardson are joining our Board of Directors. We are committed to working together on documentation and due diligence, and expeditiously moving towards closing for the benefit of all investors."
