Statement by Cassava Sciences Regarding an Internal CUNY Report Leaked to the Press

  • CUNY’s report makes no findings of data manipulation.
  • The “

    egregious misconduct

    ” cited in the report relates to internal record-keeping failures at CUNY.
  • CUNY’s report finds that internal record-keeping failures “

    prevented us [CUNY] from making an objective assessment

    ” of research misconduct.
  • Leak of CUNY report preceded by massive increase in short selling.

AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 12, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cassava Sciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: SAVA), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on Alzheimer’s disease, today issued the following statement regarding an internal report purportedly prepared by City University of New York (CUNY). This report was leaked to the press. The leak of the CUNY report was preceded by a 40% increase in short selling activity in the stock of Cassava Sciences.

Beginning August 2021, short sellers executed a brutal, widely publicized “short-and-distort” campaign against Cassava Sciences. The short-sellers alleged that Cassava Sciences and its academic researcher at CUNY had engaged in data manipulation and other forms of research misconduct. In response to these allegations, CUNY initiated an internal investigation in Fall 2021. In 2022, Cassava Sciences filed a lawsuit against certain individuals who participated in the short-and-distort campaign, identifying over 1,000 false and defamatory statements.

On October 12, 2023, Science reported that it had obtained a copy of CUNY’s report from “a person who requested anonymity because they are not authorized to share it.” The Science article quotes a person paid by a lawyer for certain short-sellers, but does not indicate what role, if any, short-sellers had in the leak. According to Science, CUNY completed its investigation in May 2023. The short interest in Cassava Sciences’ stock jumped 40%, to over 14 million shares, between June 30, 2023, and September 29, 2023, according to NASDAQ.

CUNY’s report makes no findings of data manipulation. Rather, the “egregious misconduct” cited in the report relates exclusively to internal record-keeping failures at CUNY. The report also finds that internal record-keeping failures “prevented us [CUNY] from making an objective assessment” of the allegations of research misconduct.

“We remain confident in the underlying science for simufilam, our lead drug candidate,” said Remi Barbier, President & CEO. “We intend to continue to translate our passion for science into a novel drug for people living with Alzheimer’s disease. Our Phase 3 clinical program continues.”

Cassava Sciences played no role in CUNY’s investigation. The university turned down all requests for information and offers of assistance from Cassava. Because CUNY did not interview any employee of Cassava Sciences, the university has no legitimate basis on which to make accusations against the Company or its employees.

CUNY has not responded to an inquiry Cassava Sciences made yesterday regarding the authenticity of the leaked report.

Importantly, Cassava Sciences does not rely exclusively on research at CUNY. The science underlying simufilam, Cassava Sciences’ lead drug candidate, is supported by the work of scientists at academic institutions that have no connection to CUNY, including:

  • In September 2023, Cassava Sciences announced the publication of new research that confirms the biological activity of simufilam. Researchers at the Cochin Institute (Paris, France) used a highly precise cell-based assay to show that simufilam interrupts amyloid binding to the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. Cassava Sciences believes this protein interaction underlies simufilam’s mechanism of action in Alzheimer’s disease. The research appears in a special issue of International Journal of Molecular Sciences, a peer-reviewed scientific publication, and is currently available on-line at: https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/24/18/13927
  • In May 2023, Cassava Sciences announced the publication of new data that highlights the biological activity of simufilam on Filamin A. Researchers at the University of Milan (Italy) showed a functional interaction between simufilam, filamin A (FLNA) and somatostatin receptors. Specifically, the researchers showed that simufilam treatment significantly reduced levels of phosphorylation at a site on FLNA in human pituitary tumor cells. The research was presented at the 25thEuropean Congress of Endocrinology and is currently available on-line at: https://www.endocrine-abstracts.org/ea/0090/ea0090oc7.5
  • In February 2020, Cassava Sciences announced that filamin A inhibition by simufilam reduced seizure activity in a mouse model of epilepsy. The data was generated by researchers at Yale University, was published in Science Translational Medicine and is currently available on-line at: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32075941/

Other independent researchers have shown a role for filamin A in neurodegeneration.

The foregoing sets forth many, but not all, of the factors that could cause actual results to differ from expectations in any forward-looking statement. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking statements and events discussed in this news release are inherently uncertain and may not occur, and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.

TEN Ltd. Celebrates 30 Years Since Inception

ATHENS, Greece, Oct. 12, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TEN Ltd. (“TEN”) (NYSE: TNP) (the “Company”), celebrated its 30th year as a publicly listed company. TEN was listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange in 1993 and transferred its listing to the New York Stock Exchange in March 2002.

On October 10, 2023, Dr. Nikolaos P. Tsakos, Founder, CEO and his family hosted a memorable event in New York City along with members of the executive team. The event was attended by prominent financial journalist and anchor, Mrs. Nicole Petalides from Schwab Network, who delivered introductory remarks in the presence of Mr. Chris Taylor, Vice President and Global Head of Listings & Services at NYSE, Mr. Stefan Jekel, Head of International Listings at NYSE and other distinguished guests from the international shipping industry, banking and investment communities to mark this monumental occasion.

The Company proudly celebrated its journey which began 30 years ago with a fleet of four tankers to becoming one of the largest independent transporters of energy in the world owning a versatile fleet of 68 modern crude and product tankers, shuttle tankers and liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) vessels. TEN Ltd. is the energy transporter of choice for major oil companies and other blue chip global energy concerns.  

TEN’s focus on fleet modernity, operational excellence and balanced fleet employment has enabled the company to produce strong results throughout the market cycles. Over its 20-year presence on NYSE, TEN Ltd. has generated net income in excess of $2.5 billion and has made uninterrupted payments of common and preferred dividends in excess of $750 million, regardless of market cyclicality.

TEN Ltd. was among the first tanker companies to embrace the double hull vessel concept in the design and today remains committed to fleet modernization and green energy transition. TEN Ltd. has implemented a $6.0 billion newbuilding program on fleet expansion and renewal underpinning its prudent sustainable growth strategy aiming at reducing the Company’s environmental footprint.

On September 25, 2023, TEN Ltd. took delivery of an LNG powered Aframax tanker, Njord DF, the first in a series of four high-spec eco designed vessels built against long-term employment to a major European state-owned oil concern. The introduction of this vessel kickstarts the delivery of the Company’s existing green growth program with now nine remaining vessels which are expected to be gradually introduced to TEN’s fleet over the next ten quarters.

As of today, TEN Ltd. has secured over $2.5 billion in fleet revenue backlog.

Dr. Nikolaos P. Tsakos, Founder and CEO of the Company commented:

“This exceptional moment represents a significant milestone in our history as a publicly traded company that not only celebrates its achievements but more importantly, it propels us to look ahead into our next chapter and continue to push forward to better our business and our practices. We are grateful and appreciative to all our associates for their efforts so far and remain enthusiastic as we embark on the next phase of the Company’s development for the benefit of our shareholders.

NHH Savoy will provide families and individuals with low to modest incomes with affordable housing options in the Gulfton-Sharpstown neighborhood of Houston, Texas.

“The city takes great pride in collaborating with organizations like New Hope Housing to create beautiful communities that benefit Houstonians. New Hope Housing Savoy is not just a place to live; it is a community that fosters growth, support and stability,” said Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner. “We are grateful for the generous support of financial partners like FHLB Dallas whose funding via Comerica Bank made this project possible. Together, we can celebrate the creation of a truly remarkable facility that will provide housing for individuals and families in need.”

FHLB Dallas awards AHP subsidies through its member financial institutions to benefit very low-to moderate-income households across its five-state District.

“We thank Comerica Bank and FHLB Dallas for funding affordable solutions to the housing shortage in Houston,” said Joy Horak-Brown, president and CEO of New Hope Housing. “Housing and setting up families with crucial support services provides the stability needed to overcome economic disparities.”

Comerica’s Houston Market President Jason Baker said Comerica Bank is committed to helping communities prosper by providing funding for affordable real estate development.

“Thanks to the support of FHLB Dallas, we’ve provided gap funding to several affordable housing projects in Houston including NHH Savoy,” Mr. Baker said. “We are delighted to have partnered with FHLB Dallas to help bring this landmark project to fruition.”

AHP funds are intended to assist FHLB Dallas members in financing the purchase, construction and/or rehabilitation of owner-occupied, rental or transitional housing and housing for homeless individuals. The funds must be used to benefit households with incomes at or below 80 percent of the median income for the area.

In 2022, FHLB Dallas awarded nearly $17.2 million in AHP subsidies to 26 projects, primarily within its five-state District of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico and Texas. FHLB Dallas will announce 2023 AHP awards later this year.

“Given our long relationship and shared commitment to affordable housing, we are happy to provide funding through Comerica Bank via the AHP to support NHH’s mission of preserving housing affordability in Southwest Houston,” said Greg Hettrick, senior vice president and director of Community Investment at FHLB Dallas.

What is this Case About: PureCycle Technologies, Inc. (PCT) Failed to Inform Investors its Ironton Facility Experienced a Power Outage

According to the complaint, in early 2023, PureCycle claimed that it was finalizing construction and commissioning at its first commercial scale recycling facility (the “Ironton Facility”).

On this news, PureCycle’s stock price fell $1.395, or 18.4%, to close at $6.18 per share on September 14, 2023, on unusually heavy trading volume.
