Antibe Announces Granting of Initial Order Under Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act

Antibe Therapeutics Inc. (“Antibe” or the “Company”) (TSX: ATE, OTCQX: ATBPF) announced that its previously announced application for an Initial Order under the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (the "CCAA"), has been granted by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) (the "Court").

Pursuant to the Initial Order, the Company has obtained protection from its creditors for an initial period expiring April 18, 2024 (the "Stay Period"), the maximum permitted under the CCAA. The Court has appointed Deloitte Restructuring Inc. as Monitor (the "Monitor"). While under CCAA protection, management of the Company will remain responsible for the day-to-day operation of the Company under the general oversight of the Monitor and supervision of the Court.

The Initial Order, amongst other things, stays any action by Nuance Pharma to enforce the previously announced confidential ruling from the Singapore International Arbitration Centre requiring Antibe to pay approximately US$24 million to Nuance.

At a hearing scheduled for April 18, 2024, Antibe will seek a further extension of the Stay Period in order to be able to continue engaging with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration with respect to the previously announced hold on the Company’s planned Phase II trial and to determine the appropriate next steps.

Earlier today, the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") suspended trading of Antibe's common shares.

Additional Information

Further updates will be provided as appropriate. A copy of the Initial Order and other information regarding the CCAA proceedings is available on the Monitor's website at https://www.insolvencies.deloitte.ca/antibe.
