Tevogen Advances Generics Strategy, Signs Letter of Intent to Evaluate Potential Acquisition of Apozeal Pharmaceutical

WARREN, N.J., March 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tevogen (“Tevogen Bio Holdings Inc.” or “Company”) (Nasdaq: TVGN) today announced that it has entered into a signed, non-exclusive, non-binding Letter of Intent (“LoI”) to evaluate a potential transaction with Apozeal Pharmaceutical Inc. (“Apozeal”), a pharmaceutical company focused on the development and manufacturing of high-quality, cost-effective medicines.

The proposed transaction represents a strategic step in advancing Tevogen Generics, established to support domestic pharmaceutical manufacturing and enhance affordability and national supply chain resilience.

If consummated, the potential acquisition of Apozeal could provide Tevogen with an established generics platform, including:

• 11 FDA-approved Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) products for the U.S. market
• Multiple ANDAs currently filed with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration awaiting approval
• Additional generic products in development
  
  

Dr. Ryan Saadi, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Tevogen, stated, “Tevogen Generics was launched with the objective of supporting pharmaceutical affordability and domestic manufacturing in the United States. The potential acquisition of Apozeal represents a meaningful step toward that strategy. With FDA-approved ANDA assets and a growing development pipeline, Apozeal could provide a foundation for building a revenue-generating generics business and could support Tevogen’s broader plan to expand U.S.-based pharmaceutical manufacturing.”

The proposed transaction remains subject to, among other things, completion of due diligence, negotiation and execution of definitive documentation, required approvals, and satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

Tevogen is also actively considering other transactions with a focus on life sciences-related businesses; however, there can be no assurance that any such transaction will be consummated.
