Oxymetazoline Hydrochloride

EMERYVILLE, Calif.--( BUSINESS WIRE )-- NovaBay ® Pharmaceuticals, Inc . (NYSE American: NBY) (“NovaBay” or the “Company”) announces that the Company’s board of directors has determined that an unsolicited and non-binding offer from Refresh Acquisitions BidCo LLC (“Refresh”) for an affiliate of Refresh to acquire the Company’s Avenova ® brand and related assets is a “Superior Proposal” to the Company’s asset purchase agreement with PRN Physician Recommended Nutriceuticals, LLC (“PRN”). Refresh’s unsolicited offer provides for terms that are substantially similar to the contemplated transaction with PRN, except that the Company would receive a purchase price of up to $11.5 million (compared with $9.5 million in the transaction with PRN), subject to a downside net working capital adjustment. Refresh’s unsolicited offer also includes Refresh providing a secured term loan to the Company in the principal amount of $2.0 million, which is expected to be repaid upon closing and deducted from the purchase price. The Company has notified PRN of the board of directors’ determination and that the Company intends to terminate its asset purchase agreement with PRN unless the Company receives a revised proposal from PRN by 11:59 p.m. Pacific time on November 4, 2024, such that the Company’s board of directors determines that Refresh’s unsolicited offer is no longer a Superior Proposal, in accordance with the process provided in the asset purchase agreement with PRN. “After careful consideration, our board of directors determined that the unsolicited offer by Refresh represents greater value for our stockholders while also placing Avenova in highly capable commercial hands,” said Justin Hall, NovaBay CEO. “Refresh is an affiliate company of RVL Pharmaceuticals, which is commercializing Upneeq ® (oxymetazoline hydrochloride ophthalmic solution), 0.1%, the first and only FDA-approved prescription eye drops for adults with low-lying eyelids, also known as acquired blepharoptosis or ptosis. Our Avenova products are highly complementary to this non-surgical solution that quickly lifts eyelids for more awake-looking eyes. Further, RVL Pharmaceuticals and NovaBay are aligned in our shared passion for commercializing products that improve patients’ lives.” The Company’s asset purchase agreement with PRN, in accordance with such agreement, remains in full force and effect, and the Company’s board of directors has not withdrawn or modified its recommendation regarding stockholders approving the pending transaction with PRN. The Company’s transaction with PRN remains subject to certain closing conditions, including receiving stockholder approval. Consistent with its fiduciary duties, the Company’s board of directors conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the Refresh unsolicited offer with assistance from independent financial and legal advisors, before making its determination.

(“RVL” or the “Company”), a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the commercialization of UPNEEQ® (oxymetazoline hydrochloride ophthalmic solution), 0.1%, for the treatment of acquired blepharoptosis, or droopy eyelids, in adults, today announced that it and its wholly-owned U.S. operating subsidiary RVL Pharmacy, LLC (collectively, the “RVL Subsidiaries”), successfully emerged from their Chapter 11 cases on November 22, 2023 following the confirmation by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware of their Plan of Reorganization (“Plan”) on November 20, 2023. RevitaLid Pharmaceutical Corp., previously the direct parent company of RVL Pharmaceuticals, Inc, concurrently emerged from its Chapter 11 case, though will be wound down under the Plan. “Upon emergence, the RVL Subsidiaries are well-positioned to invest in UPNEEQ, drive their strategic initiatives, and continue to deliver high-quality, innovative ocular and aesthetic solutions for patients and healthcare partners,” said Brian Markison, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Plan was unanimously supported by the RVL Subsidiaries’ sole secured lender (funds managed by Athyrium Capital Management, LP (“Athyrium”)) and other key stakeholders. The Company will continue to operate and be supported as a privately held company under the ownership of Athyrium. It is expected the wind-down of the Company’s former public parent company, RVL Pharmaceuticals plc, and its subsidiaries other than the RVL Subsidiaries will promptly commence, and RVL Pharmaceuticals plc’s public equity is expected to be cancelled upon completion of its wind-down during 2024, resulting in no recovery to public shareholders.
