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 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.”
