TEL AVIV, Israel, March 03, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SciSparc Ltd. (NASDAQ:SPRC) (the "Company" or "SciSparc"), a specialty clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focusing on the development of therapies to treat disorders of the central nervous system, announced it has signed a definitive agreement to sell its entire ownership interest in MitoCareX Bio Ltd. ("MitoCareX"), the Company's venture with Dr. Alon Silberman that focuses on drug discovery and development of cancer therapeutics by targeting the mitochondrial SLC25 protein family, to N2Off, Inc., a publicly-traded company in the United States (NASDAQ:NITO) ("N2OFF").

In total, SciSparc and the other sellers will receive N2OFF common stock equivalent to 40% of the company's fully diluted capital stock. The transaction is subject to certain conditions, including approval of N2OFF's shareholders. Upon closing, MitoCareX will become a wholly owned subsidiary of N2OFF, with its board restructured under N2OFF's control.

In addition, SciSparc and the other sellers will be entitled to receive additional N2OFF stock based on milestone achievements, representing up to 25% of N2OFF's fully diluted capital stock. As part of the financial terms, SciSparc, along with the other sellers, will collectively receive 30% of N2OFF's financing proceeds over five years, up to a maximum of $1.6 million.
