Shineco, Inc. ("Shineco" or the "Company"; NASDAQ: SISI), a
provider of innovative diagnostic medical products and related
medical devices, announced today that on April 22, 2025, its
subsidiary, Shineco Life Sciences Group Hong Kong Limited ("Shineco
Life Sciences"), entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the
"SPA") with Dr. Lim Kah Meng (the "Seller") to acquire 51% of the
equity interest in InfiniClone Limited, a company incorporated
under the laws of Hong Kong that has been wholly owned held by Dr.
Lim ("InfiniClone"). InfiniClone is a biotechnology company
focusing on the field of regenerative medicine. Its main business
covers a variety of fields, from basic research to commercial
applications, with a focus on induced pluripotent stem cell
technology, regenerative medicine applications and the development
of cosmeceuticals.
Pursuant to the SPA, Shineco Life Sciences will
acquire a 51% equity interest in InfiniClone. In consideration of
the acquisition, Shineco Life Science shall pay the Seller
$19,895,600 in cash and the Company shall issue and transfer
3,450,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Seller,
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the SPA.
InfiniClone has 29 global patents, including
five invention patents, that cover major markets such as the US,
Europe (the UK, Germany, France and Switzerland), and Asia (Japan,
China and Singapore), which it believes gives it a competitive
advantage in the field of stem cell technology. Its core
technologies include cell reprogramming technology, stem cell
culture based on microcarrier technology, and the establishment and
management of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) libraries,
which it believes can increase the throughput of cell expansion by
three to ten times that of existing technologies. While traditional
stem cell cultures rely on expensive manual operations and
consumables, InfiniClone believes its technology has the potential
to significantly reduce labor and material inputs, reducing the
production cost per cell by more than 60% and establishing a
foundation for large-scale clinical applications. For example, in
treating Parkinson's, Alzheimer’s and stroke, traditional methods
require months to grow a sufficient number of functional neurons,
while InfiniClone’s technology is expected to shorten this cycle to
just a few weeks, substantially reducing the time for patients to
receive treatment.
InfiniClone's founder, Dr. Lim Kah Meng, is a
Doctor of Biomedical Sciences from the National University of
Singapore and is a Singaporean scientist, entrepreneur and
biomedical expert with over 20 years of molecular research
experience in stem cell research, regenerative medicine and neuro
medicine therapies. In addition, Dr. Lim is the founder of a number
of biotechnology companies, including Gene Oasis PTE. LTD., Zenzic
Oasis PTE. LTD., BetaLife PTE. LTD. and CanniOasis PTE. LTD. with
these companies having a differentiated focus on cell therapy, stem
cell production and personalized medicine.
Jennifer Zhan, the CEO of Shineco, commented,
"The acquisition of a majority position of InfiniClone is a key
milestone for Shineco as it launches our entry into the field of
stem cell technology and regenerative medicine. InfiniClone’s
unique technology, global patent protection and Dr. Lim's
professional capabilities represent core competitiveness in a
high-value-added medical space, and we believe that Shineco can
accelerate the transformation process of InfiniClone’s technology
from laboratory to clinic. We look forward to working together with
InfiniClone to solve the treatment problems of Parkinson's,
Alzheimer’s, stroke, and other major diseases, and provide
innovative solutions for patients around the world.”
More complete information of the SPA is set
forth in the Form 8-K and its exhibits filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission on April 23, 2025.
