IMAC Holdings and Brain Scientific Announce a Strategic Merger to Create Synergistic End-To-End Neurological Solution

Combined company will provide total solutions, from diagnosis to treatment, for patients with neurological disorders including Parkinson’s, Alzheimer's, and stroke

BRENTWOOD, Tenn. and LAKEWOOD RANCH, Fla., March 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via InvestorWire -- IMAC Holdings, Inc. (“IMAC”) (Nasdaq: BACK), a regenerative rehabilitation company focused on treating musculoskeletal and neurodegenerative disease, and Brain Scientific, Inc. (“Brain Scientific”) (OTCQB:BRSF), a Florida-based applied science technology company, jointly announced today that they have executed a binding Letter of Intent to combine companies in a strategic merger-of-equals (the “Transaction”).

Together, the companies would provide patients with true end-to-end neurological solutions using Brain Scientific’s diagnostic and motion technologies and IMAC’s regenerative rehabilitation medical services.  Hassan Kotob, Chief Executive Officer of Brain Scientific, is expected to serve as Chairman and CEO of the combined company.

“We believe that the combination of IMAC and Brain Scientific would be a match that provides a pathway to become a leader, a destination, and trusted brand in the growing field of neuro deficit disorders, diagnosis and treatment,” said Jeff Ervin, CEO of IMAC. “Brain Scientific is developing an encouraging distribution pipeline of their 510(k) and CE cleared products and, under Hassan’s leadership, we anticipate expense synergies and expanded service outlets will benefit all stakeholders.”

IMAC is comprised of two business segments: outpatient medical centers and a clinical research division. IMAC owns or manages outpatient medical clinics that deliver regenerative rehabilitation services as a minimally invasive approach to acute and chronic musculoskeletal and neurological health problems. IMAC’s research division is currently conducting a Phase I clinical trial evaluating a mesenchymal stem cell therapy candidate for bradykinesia due to Parkinson’s disease.

Brain Scientific has over 24 patents, FDA and CE certification. Brain Scientific’s disposable NeuroCap and portable NeuroEEG enable neurologists to save time, see more patients, and eliminate contamination risks. The company’s neurology ecosystem provides clinicians and patients confidence in gaining rapid access to accurate EEG test results, making testing more efficient and allowing clinicians to focus on test readings rather than the labor-intensive application process of current electrode placement technology.

“At Brain Scientific, we are accelerating the time to prep, test, and read EEG studies anytime and are finally bringing EEG testing to remote locations and in the field,” said Mr. Kotob. “We believe that a Brain Scientific and IMAC merger would allow us to accelerate our growth and expand into new channels and markets to provide those suffering from neurological disorders with the best care possible.”
