The CDMO unit received $500K in work orders in the first half of 2024, with projected 2024 revenues of $1.25 million. Pipeline developments include promising preclinical results for NanoAb treatments for plaque psoriasis and collaborations for COVID-19 and anti-IL-17 treatments.

Scinai Immunotherapeutics announced it has received a non-binding Letter of Intent from the European Investment Bank to convert a $27.6 million loan into equity. This conversion involves prefunded warrants exercisable into American Depositary Shares (ADS), representing 19.5% of the company's fully diluted capital. This move is expected to eliminate a $4.5 million shareholders' deficit and create a $14.5 million equity surplus. The final terms are subject to EIB's formal approval and other legal conditions. Scinai aims to regain Nasdaq listing compliance and improve its financial standing. The conversion details will be reflected in the Q3 2024 financial reports.

Scinai Immunotherapeutics announced on June 7, 2024, that it regained compliance with Nasdaq's $1.00 minimum bid price requirement as of June 5, 2024. This achievement follows a strategic adjustment in its American Depositary Shares (ADSs) ratio, approved by the Board, which increased the number of ordinary shares represented by each ADS from 400 to 4,000 effective May 21, 2024. Consequently, the bid price exceeded $1.00 for ten consecutive business days. Despite this progress, Scinai remains non-compliant with Nasdaq's minimum shareholders' equity requirement. The company is in advanced discussions with the European Investment Bank (EIB) to convert a significant portion of its loan into equity, aiming to present this plan at a Nasdaq hearing on June 18, 2024.

Scinai Immunotherapeutics announces receipt of a Nasdaq Staff determination letter regarding noncompliance with minimum shareholders' equity requirements. A hearing with the Nasdaq Hearings Panel is scheduled for June 18, 2024, where the company will present a plan to regain compliance. The plan may include converting part of a loan from the European Investment Bank into equity. The company has also received a notification regarding noncompliance with the minimum $1.00 bid price requirement. To address this, a ratio change of the ADSs to non-traded ordinary shares was implemented, equivalent to a reverse split of 1 for 10. Despite these issues, SCNI's ADSs will continue trading under the symbol 'SCNI' pending the outcome of the hearing.
