Tevogen Bio (“Tevogen” or “Tevogen Bio Holdings Inc.”) (Nasdaq:
TVGN), a clinical-stage specialty immunotherapy biotech developing
off-the-shelf, genetically unmodified T cell therapeutics to treat
infectious disease and cancers, today expresses gratitude to
shareholders for their unwavering support and trust in Tevogen Bio
and its leadership. The commitment fuels the company’s
determination to advance its mission of developing accessible,
life-saving therapeutics.
The company recently announced significant progress through its
third quarter financial results for 2024, including, reduction of a
net loss by $52.5 million, elimination of nearly all liabilities,
and reiterating availability of sufficient capital to fund
operations for the next 33 months.
Ryan Saadi, MD, MPH, Founder and CEO, Tevogen Bio commented, "We
remain steadfast in our mission to advance medical science, however
as CEO of the company, preservation of shareholder value remains a
priority. We urge all stakeholders to consider the profound impact
short selling innovative healthcare companies has on lifesaving
therapies. While stock price fluctuations are part of the public
market dynamics, Tevogen Bio is acutely aware of the undue
influence short sellers have.”
William Keane, VP of Strategic Initiatives, and graduate of the
FBI National Academy stated, “We are aware and monitoring the
actions of potential short selling activity targeting our company.
We will continue to bring light to this situation and will work
with the appropriate authorities as needed.”
The company plans to provide further updates on its progress in
the coming weeks.
