TC BioPharm moves into court-led liquidation and plans SEC deregistration.

TC BioPharm (Holdings) plc has had its directors resolve to appoint two professionals from Alvarez and Marsal Europe LLP as interim liquidators. This indicates that the company is entering a formal insolvency or wind-down process under court supervision, shifting control of key decisions from management and the board to the appointed liquidators.

The company also plans to file Form 15 to deregister its American Depositary Shares under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Once this is filed, its obligation to file periodic reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission will be suspended immediately, reducing public financial disclosure and likely limiting trading access for many investors.

For holders of the ADSs, these steps typically signal severe financial distress and a potential loss of equity value, as liquidation processes generally prioritize creditors over shareholders. Subsequent court and liquidator communications will determine how the company’s remaining assets, if any, are realized and distributed.
