Generex Biotechnology Announces Share Dividend & Strategic Plans


MIRAMAR, Fla., May 31, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Generex Biotechnology Corporation (www.generex.com) (OTCQB:GNBT) (http://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/GNBT/quote) is pleased to announce that the company plans to declare a 1:1 stock dividend, contingent upon the successful up listing to NASDAQ, to complete the strategic reorganization from a pure development company to a an end-to-end solutions provider for physicians and patients.

Joseph Moscato, CEO of Generex stated, “On June 20th, Generex plans to declare a 1 for 1 dividend for shareholders of record with certain conditions, noting that verbal commitments have been given that the dividend will be waived by all insiders and other major equity holders not in the public float. Once that is formalized, this dividend will be the last dividend from the company in conjunction with its completion of its current overall three-stage development plan.

As promised, when the shareholders approved the reverse stock split in 2017, allowing us to clean up the company’s security structure, I followed through on our commitment to give back to our shareholders for allowing us to execute on our plan, creating significant value in the company.  When we have achieved certain milestones, we have made a point to give back to our valuable shareholders in the form of dividends, including the 20:1 dividend in Generex shares and the 1:4 dividend in NuGenerex Immuno-Oncology. This final dividend in this cycle is a symbol of our success and thanks, and our continued commitment to give back to our shareholders.”

Over the last three months, Generex has made significant strides in executing on its strategic plans, and intends to file an S1 registration statement with the SEC in the coming weeks. The company’s subsidiary Olaregen launched Excellagen, which is FDA cleared for wound management, selling out the first commercial lot in less than a month. The company is reorganizing its MSO model with expanded controls and compliance standards and expanding into new geographic territories. In the last few weeks, Generex has finalized terms for the acquisitions of Pantheon Medical and Medicsource Partners, which are expected to close shortly. Generex is also expanding the NuGenerex family of companies with the formation of NuGenerex Chronic Care Solutions that will provide ancillary health services for a multi-clinic endocrinology practice that serves a large population of patients with diabetes and metabolic disorders.

Mr. Moscato added, “The final future piece of our corporate vision is the establishment of an HMO, NuGenerex Health, in partnership with Dr. Kiran Patel, who most recently sold his prior HMO, Freedom Health to Anthem for $1.8 billion. This exciting opportunity with Dr. Patel demonstrates our commitment to build a new kind of healthcare company that develops and delivers innovative new products like Excellagen and specialty health services like NuGenerex Chronic Care Solutions to provide end-to-end solutions for physicians and patients in our HMO network.  Dr. Patel has done seven successful HMOs and I am honored to have the preeminent leader in the HMO sector and utilize his world class experience in creating NuGenerex Health Services.”

The company will provide complete details of the dividend on Thursday June 20th as well as declaration, pay date and ex-date.
