Unity Biotechnology

Unity Biotechnology filed for voluntary dissolution and a plan of liquidation in Delaware, effective Friday. The company entered into a lease termination agreement for office and lab space in South San Francisco, ending the original lease that ran through December 31, 2029 on March 31, 2026, and agreed to roughly $3.65 million in prepayments. It also executed a sublease termination agreement with Initial Therapeutics; the landlord is entitled to 25% of future monetization proceeds up to a maximum of $26.9 million within 24 months after the lease ends. The stock registers have been closed and the common shares are only transferable in narrow exceptions; the stock was already delisted from Nasdaq in August. » Plus sur de.investing.com
