Refresh’s unsolicited offer also includes Refresh providing a secured term loan to the Company in the principal amount of $2.0 million, which is expected to be repaid upon closing and deducted from the purchase price.\nThe Company has notified PRN of the board of directors’ determination and that the Company intends to terminate its asset purchase agreement with PRN unless the Company receives a revised proposal from PRN by 11:59 p.m. Pacific time on November 4, 2024, such that the Company’s board of directors determines that Refresh’s unsolicited offer is no longer a Superior Proposal, in accordance with the process provided in the asset purchase agreement with PRN.\n\"After careful consideration, our board of directors determined that the unsolicited offer by Refresh represents greater value for our stockholders while also placing Avenova in highly capable commercial hands,\" said Justin Hall, NovaBay CEO. \"Refresh is an affiliate company of RVL Pharmaceuticals, which is commercializing Upneeq® (oxymetazoline hydrochloride ophthalmic solution), 0.1%, the first and only FDA-approved prescription eye drops for adults with low-lying eyelids, also known as acquired blepharoptosis or ptosis. Our Avenova products are highly complementary to this non-surgical solution that quickly lifts eyelids for more awake-looking eyes. Further, RVL Pharmaceuticals and NovaBay are aligned in our shared passion for commercializing products that improve patients’ lives.\"\nThe Company’s asset purchase agreement with PRN, in accordance with such agreement, remains in full force and effect, and the Company’s board of directors has not withdrawn or modified its recommendation regarding stockholders approving the pending transaction with PRN. The Company’s transaction with PRN remains subject to certain closing conditions, including receiving stockholder approval.\nConsistent with its fiduciary duties, the Company’s board of directors conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the Refresh unsolicited offer with assistance from independent financial and legal advisors, before making its determination.\nAbout NovaBay Pharmaceuticals, Inc.\nNovaBay's leading product Avenova® Lid & Lash Cleansing Spray is often recommended by eyecare professionals for blepharitis and dry eye disease. Manufactured in the U.S., Avenova spray is formulated with NovaBay's patented, proprietary, stable and pure form of hypochlorous acid.
