Aimfinity Investment Corp. I (“Aimfinity”) (NASDAQ: AIMAU), a
Cayman Islands incorporated special purpose acquisition company
listed on the Nasdaq Global Market, and Docter Inc. (“Docter”), a
Taiwanese non-invasive blood glucose watch developer, today
announced that they have entered a definitive merger agreement (the
“Merger Agreement”) pursuant to which a newly established
subsidiary of Aimfinity will become a publicly listed company
combining Aimfinity and Docter (the “Combined Company”) upon the
closing of the transaction contemplated therein (the “Proposed
Transaction”). Upon closing, the Combined Company expects to list
its ordinary shares on Nasdaq.
Since 2016, Docter, along with its subsidiary, Horn Enterprise
Co., Ltd., has been developing a non-invasive blood sugar trend
monitoring technology, alleviating the necessity for blood
sampling. The company operates Docter brand watches and employs
Docter Cloud platform technologies to facilitate health monitoring,
vascular elasticity tracking, and myocardial infarction prediction.
Additionally, Docter has made investments in the development of
biological radar wave technology to cater to those requiring
long-term care or individuals experiencing sub-optimal health.
In addition to this exciting transaction, Docter Inc. has
recently announced that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) with Harvard Medical School for the purchase of 10,000 Docter
watches. These watches will be utilized in a Harvard Medical School
Long Covid research project, highlighting the growth potential of
Docter Inc.'s technology in advanced medical research.
