Retired all principal and accrued interest owed its two senior secured lenders, Resorts World Inc. Pte. Ltd., or RWI, and C.V. Starr and Co., Inc., eliminating all senior secured debt from its balance sheet.
Entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Celeniv Pte. Ltd., or Celeniv, to monetize Celularity intellectual property assets and eliminate senior secured debt. In connection therewith entered into a License Agreement with Celeniv to license back the intellectual property assets on an exclusive basis with an exclusive five-year repurchase option.
Completed an internal restructuring and realignment to create wholly owned operating subsidiaries for its four commercial businesses-advanced biomaterial products, longevity-focused cell therapy, biobanking, and contract development and manufacturing.
PARK, N.J., August 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Celularity Inc. (Nasdaq: CELU) ("Celularity"), a regenerative and cellular
medicine company focused on addressing age-related and degenerative diseases, announced today that it has completed a major balance sheet
restructuring resulting in the retirement of all $32.0 million of the Company's senior secured debt plus $9.6 million in associated
unpaid interest. As part of this restructuring, Celularity entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement and a License Agreement with Celeniv
Pte. Ltd. ("Celeniv"), a Singapore company formed by Resorts World Inc. Pte. Ltd., or RWI, one of Celularity's two
senior secured lenders, and Tan Sri Dato Lim Kok Thay ("Mr. Lim"), executive chairman/non-independent executive director
of Genting Group and former Celularity director.
the Asset Purchase Agreement, Celularity sold its intellectual property assets to Celeniv,
which under the License Agreement licensed those assets to Celularity on an exclusive basis for an initial term of five (5) years renewable
for additional five-year terms. Celularity is required to make quarterly license payments to Celeniv under the License Agreement based
on the value of the assets sold under the Asset Purchase Agreement. Celularity also has
an exclusive five-year option under the Asset Purchase Agreement to repurchase the assets
received consideration under the Asset Purchase Agreement in the amount of $33,812,230,
which it used to retire the $27,000,000 senior secured loan outstanding from RWI and the $6,812,230 Promissory Note outstanding
from Mr. Lim (which Mr. Lim previously assigned to Celeniv). Previously, Celularity used part of the proceeds it received under the Promissory
Note to retire the senior secured loan outstanding from C.V. Starr and Co., Inc., or Starr. Celularity was advised in the transactions
by Faithstone Capital Partners.
the Celeniv agreements announced today, we successfully monetized Celularity's intellectual property assets to retire the Company's
senior secured debt in its entirety while retaining exclusive use of the assets for our cell therapy, advanced biomaterials, and biobanking
businesses. An exclusive five-year right to repurchase those assets from Celeniv gives us additional optionality going forward,"
said Robert J. Hariri, M.D., Ph.D., Celularity's Chairman and CEO. "We believe this agreement results in a major improvement
of Celularity's balance sheet with the removal of all the Company's senior secured debt, which was due for repayment in February
2026, as well as the senior secured lenders' general security interest in all Company assets. We accomplished this while preserving
our exclusive use of intellectual property that is operationally aligned with our programs and commercial activities and expect to gain
greater financial flexibility and potential access to lower cost traditional financing sources. We are deeply grateful to both RWI and
Mr. Lim for their continued support of Celularity's mission as we embark on this new chapter."
also completed an internal restructuring including establishing operating subsidiaries for each of its functional business units, as
Celularity Biomaterials LLC, its advanced biomaterial products commercial unit.
Celularity Longevity LLC, its cellular therapeutics products commercial unit.
Celularity Advanced Manufacturing LLC, its contract development and manufacturing, or CDMO, commercial unit.
Celularity Biorepository LLC, its neonatal (Lifebank) and adult cell and tissue banking commercial unit.
Celularity Discovery & Development, LLC, its internal discovery and development unit.
Celularity Asset Holding LLC, its internal services unit.
internal restructuring formalizes how we manage Celularity to optimize efficiency and financial performance across the Company's
commercial units-advanced biomaterial products, longevity-focused cellular therapeutics, biobanking services, and contract manufacturing
and development services-as well as our internal discovery and development unit that supports the four commercial units with new
product discovery, development, and technology transfer services, and our internal business services unit. We wanted better visibility
around the fact that Celularity operates four commercial businesses under one roof, in contrast to the more typical biotechnology enterprise's
single-shot discovery or development stage programs," said Dr. Hariri.
