Corporate History and Background

 

Sigyn Therapeutics, Inc. (“Sigyn” or the “Company”) was incorporated on October 29, 2019 in the State of Delaware. We are a development-stage therapeutic technology company that is headquartered in San Diego, California USA. Our primary focus is directed toward a significant unmet need in global health: the treatment of acute life-threatening inflammatory conditions that are precipitated by Cytokine Storm Syndrome (“The Cytokine Storm” or “Cytokine Release Syndrome”) and not addressed with approved drug therapies. Cytokine Storm Syndrome is a dysregulated immune response that can be induced by a wide range of infectious and non-infectious conditions. A hallmark of the Cytokine Storm is an over-production of inflammatory cytokines, which can destroy tissue, trigger multiple-organ failure and cause death.

 

On October 19, 2020, Reign Resources Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”) completed a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) with our organization (Sigyn Therapeutics) that resulted in the registrant acquiring 100% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock in exchange for 75% of the fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Registrant’s common stock outstanding (the “Acquisition”). In conjunction with the transaction, the Registrant changed its name to Sigyn Therapeutics, Inc. pursuant to an amendment to its articles of incorporation that was filed with the State of Delaware. Subsequently, the Registrant’s trading symbol was changed to SIGY. The Acquisition was treated by the Company as a reverse merger in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). For accounting purposes, Sigyn is considered to have acquired the Registrant as the accounting acquirer because: (i) Sigyn stockholders own 75% of the combined company, on an as-converted basis, immediately following the Closing Date, (ii) Sigyn directors hold a majority of board seats in the combined company and (iii) Sigyn management held all key positions in the management of the combined company. Accordingly, Sigyn’s historical results of operations will replace the registrant’s historical results of operations for all periods prior to the Acquisition and, for all periods following the Acquisition, the results of operations of the combined company will be included in the Company’s financial statements. The Acquisition was treated as a “tax-free exchange” under Section 368 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and resulted in the Sigyn corporate entity (established on October 29, 2019) to become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant. Among the conditions for closing the acquisition, the Registrant extinguished all previously reported liabilities, its preferred class of shares, and all stock purchase options. As a result, the reported liabilities totaling $3,429,516 were converted into a total of 7,907,351 common shares. Additionally, assets held on the books of Reign Resources Corporation, such as Gem inventory, was kept in the Company and therefore recorded as assets on the Share Exchange date. The Registrant’s Board of Directors appointed James A. Joyce and Craig P. Roberts to serve as members of the Registrant’s Board of Directors upon closing of the Acquisition.

 

As of August 10, 2021, we have a total 36,671,656 shares issued and outstanding, of which 11,031,656 shares are held by non-affiliate shareholders.

 

About Sigyn Therapy

 

Sigyn Therapy is a novel blood purification technology designed to mitigate cytokine storm syndrome through the broad-spectrum depletion of inflammatory targets from the bloodstream. Sigyn Therapy’s mechanism of action allows for it to be implemented on the established infrastructure of dialysis and CRRT machines that are already located in hospitals and clinics worldwide. Cytokine Storm Syndrome is a hallmark of sepsis, which is the most common cause of in-hospital deaths and claims more lives each year than all forms of cancer combined. Virus induced cytokine storm (VICS) is associated with high mortality and is a leading cause of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) deaths. Other therapeutic opportunities include but are not limited to bacteria induced cytokine storm (BICS), acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and acute forms of liver failure such as Hepatic Encephalopathy, which is associated with elevated levels of toxins and inflammatory cytokines in the bloodstream.

 

 

Recent Developments

 

Since December 1, 2020, we have reported the results from a series of in vitro blood purification studies that have demonstrated the expansive capabilities of Sigyn Therapy to address pathogen sources of inflammation, deadly toxins and relevant inflammatory mediators.

 

Among the therapeutic targets validated were viral pathogens (including COVID-19), bacterial endotoxin, relevant inflammatory cytokines (Interleukin-1 beta, Interleukin-6 and Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha) and hepatic toxins (ammonia, bilirubin, and bile acid). We also completed a study that modeled our ability to capture CytoVesicles that transport inflammatory cargos throughout the bloodstream.

 

Contributing to these expansive capabilities is a formulation of adsorbent components that are incorporated within Sigyn Therapy. Our adsorbent formulation provides more than 170,000 square meters of surface area on which to adsorb and remove bloodstream targets. This equates to more than 40 acres of surface adsorption area in each adult version of Sigyn Therapy. To date, we have demonstrated that Sigyn Therapy can addresses inflammatory targets as well as pathogen sources of inflammation whose molecular size can exceed 100 nanometers in size.

 

On July 29, 2020, we disclosed the completion of our first-in-mammal pilot study that demonstrated the safe administration of Sigyn Therapy during six-hour treatment exposures. In coming months, we plan to continue our collection of animal safety data, which will be included in an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) that we are drafting for submission to The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to support the potential initiation of human clinical studies. However, there is no assurance that FDA will permit the initiation of our proposed human studies in the United States.
