Insights

FOXO shifts its epigenetics platform to a founder-led licensee while retaining upside.

FOXO Technologies has granted founder-controlled LongevityFP Technologies an exclusive global license over its epigenetics intellectual property, including patents, data and algorithms. In return, FOXO receives a 3% net revenue royalty capped at $1.3 million and potential equity in the commercial vehicle.

The option allows LongevityFP Technologies, over up to ten years, to acquire majority ownership of FOXO Labs via two structures, each leaving FOXO with a 40% stake. This shifts operational control of the platform while keeping FOXO economically exposed if commercialization succeeds.

The agreement also includes mutual releases, closing out prior matters between FOXO and Jon R. Sabes. Future filings describing royalty receipts or option exercise decisions would clarify how much value FOXO ultimately realizes from this structure.

Net revenues represent the total amount of money a company earns from its main business activities after subtracting refunds, discounts, and returns. It shows the actual income generated from sales that the company keeps. For investors, net revenues provide a clearer picture of a company's true sales performance and help assess its overall financial health.

Fully diluted equity is the total number of a company’s shares after converting all potential shares that could exist—such as stock options, warrants, convertible debt and restricted stock—into common stock. Investors care because it shows the worst-case size of the ownership pie and how much each share could be diluted, which affects per-share metrics like earnings and ownership percentage; think of it as the final headcount if every ticket-holder claimed a seat.

Exhibit 99.1

 

FOXO TECHNOLOGIES, INC., FORMS STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP WITH LONGEVITYFP TECHNOLOGIES, LLC. TO COMMERCIALIZE FOXO’S EPIGENETICS TECHNOLOGY

 

WEST PALM BEACH, FL and MINNETONKA, MN, May 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FOXO Technologies Inc. (OTC: FOXO) (the “Company”) and LongevityFP Technologies, LLC. (“LFP”) today jointly announced a strategic partnership to commercialize the Company’s pioneering epigenetics technology. The partnership is in the form of an exclusive license agreement (the “Agreement”) whereby the Company’s epigenetics-related technology including the Company’s two patents and related intellectual property, will be licensed to LFP.

 

LongevityFP Technologies, LLC., is owned and operated by Jon R. Sabes, the named inventor on the platform’s core patents and the original architect of the Company’s epigenetics underwriting platform. Jon is the founder of FOXO’s predecessor entity, and served as the Company’s chief executive officer through 2022.

 

In connection with the Agreement, LFP will pay FOXO a royalty of three percent (3%) of LFP’s net revenues, subject to an aggregate cap of $1.3 million. In addition, LFP has been granted an option, exercisable within ten (10) years, to acquire majority ownership of the Company’s subsidiary, FOXO Labs, Inc. (“FOXO Labs”). FOXO Labs owns substantially all of the Company’s epigenetics-related intellectual property, including the Company’s two issued patents, pending applications, proprietary datasets and models, and related intellectual property. The option if exercised, will provide FOXO with a 40% equity interest in the resulting epigenetics enterprise, as defined in the Agreement. The agreement resolves all prior matters between the parties and creates an opportunity to commercialize the technology and create value.

 

Mr. Sabes has expertise in modernizing the archaic underwriting process used by the life insurance industry, which still requires blood and urine specimen collection for the sale of its permanent life insurance products. He believes the epigenetics technology can replace the existing high-volume invasive diagnostics with a modern non-invasive alternative.

Seamus Lagan, Chief Executive Officer of FOXO, explained, “We are excited to join forces with former FOXO CEO, Jon Sabes. FOXO’s epigenetics technology has not been commercialized over the last few years under the FOXO Technologies Inc. corporate structure. By entering into this agreement with Sabes the technology is being reunited with its visionary and founder, creating a practical pathway to unlock value from the technology while materially improving the Company’s financial and strategic position.”

 

“I am thrilled to be reunited with this pioneering technology, on which I am the named inventor and co-creator on U.S. Patent Nos. 11,795,495 and 11,817,214. Recent advances in artificial intelligence, combined with newly published research demonstrating the predictive power of epigenetic DNA methylation patterns as biomarkers of biological aging, have strengthened the original business case on which FOXO was founded. I am grateful for the opportunity and committed to working diligently to create value for FOXO and its stockholders.” stated Jon R. Sabes, Managing Member of LongevityFP Technologies, LLC.
