Business Update Highlights

"PAVmed, having stabilized its corporate structure and balance sheet, is well positioned to aggressively execute its strategic vision as a diversified commercial life sciences company with multiple independently-financed subsidiaries operating under a shared services model," said Lishan Aklog, M.D., PAVmed's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Both Lucid and Veris are now well-capitalized through key upcoming milestones, and we expect PAVmed to directly benefit from their success. We have an established track record of seeking value throughout the life sciences sector, initially expanding from medical devices into diagnostics with Lucid, and then into digital health with Veris.   We now see a significant opportunity to leverage PAVmed's infrastructure and further diversify its portfolio into the biopharma sector.  We are actively evaluating attractive clinical and late preclinical-stage assets and hope to launch a subsidiary in this sector in the near future."
