Recent Business and Financial Updates

  • Neuphoria Completes Re-domiciliation and Successor Listing:
    • Neuphoria Therapeutics Inc. (Nasdaq: NEUP) has successfully implemented its previously announced re-domiciliation plan to transition Bionomics Limited’s operations from Australia to the United States. Effective December 23, 2024, New York time (December 24, 2024, Sydney time), Neuphoria has become the parent company of Bionomics. Shares of Neuphoria common stock, issued in connection with the re-domiciliation, are expected to commence trading on Nasdaq under the symbol "NEUP" starting December 24, 2024, or shortly thereafter.

Holders of Bionomics options will receive Neuphoria options, and an institutional investor holding Bionomics warrants will receive a warrant to purchase 1,054,381 shares of Neuphoria common stock. This marks a pivotal step in aligning the companies’ operations under a unified entity.
  • Publication of Positive Phase 2 Study Results for BNC210:
    • Bionomics Limited (Nasdaq: BNOX) announced the publication of favorable Phase 2 ATTUNE study results for BNC210, a treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), in NEJM Evidence. The data, also presented at the 63rd Annual Meeting of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology, demonstrated significant improvements in PTSD symptom severity as early as Week 4, with sustained efficacy at Week 12. BNC210, which is non-psychedelic, non-sedating, and non-habit-forming, continues to show potential as a first-in-class treatment for PTSD.
    • Key results included statistically significant improvements in PTSD symptoms measured by the CAPS-5 scale and enhancements in depressive symptoms, sleep quality, and overall tolerability. Following a successful End-of-Phase 2 meeting with the FDA, Bionomics plans to initiate a Phase 3 study in PTSD during the second half of 2025. Concurrently, BNC210 is under evaluation in a Phase 3 AFIRM-1 study for social anxiety disorder, with results expected in Q3 2025. These advancements underscore the therapeutic promise of BNC210 for addressing high unmet needs in CNS disorders.
