Mira Pharma (NASDAQ: MIRA) Announces Board Approval of SKNY Acquisition
MIRA Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: MIRA) (“MIRA” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company developing novel therapeutics for neurologic, neuropsychiatric, and metabolic disorders, today announced that its Board of Directors has approved the planned acquisition of SKNY Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Merger”), following the completion of independent valuation reports on both companies. The Merger remains subject to MIRA and SKNY’s shareholder approval.
A third-party analysis conducted by Moore Financial Consulting (“Moore”) assigned SKNY Pharmaceuticals an enterprise value of approximately $30.5 million, based on a risk-adjusted net present value (rNPV) of its lead compound, SKNY-1. MIRA was separately valued by Moore at $30 million, further validating the strength and synergy of the combined pipeline. As outlined in the previously announced binding letter of intent for the merger between MIRA and SKNY-1, upon the closing, SKNY must hold at least $5 million in cash or other assets, to be transferred at closing, and the Company is preparing a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to seek shareholder approval.
As MIRA advances this merger, the combined enterprise value (based on Moore’s valuations) of over $60 million represents a strong platform for expansion into high-value therapeutic markets. According to MIRA CEO Erez Aminov, the acquisition “brings together two pipelines, two market opportunities, and one unified strategy, developing targeted, first-in-class therapies for urgent public health needs.”
