Analysis · GCTK · Industrial Applications And Services
In a deal that effectively hands control to Lokahi Therapeutics, Glucotrack has been acquired through a reverse merger that gives Lokahi securityholders 90% of the combined company on a fully diluted basis. The transaction is backed by a $4.45 million bridge loan carrying a 22% original issue discount and warrants, as well as a $50 million equity line of credit with White Lion Capital. A leadership overhaul accompanied the closing, with the CEO replaced, and management believes the company has now regained compliance with Nasdaq's minimum equity requirement. For a business that was staring down delisting and going-concern warnings, this represents a complete reset — new control, fresh capital, and a different business model. The bridge financing terms are aggressive, and the equity line could lead to significant dilution if drawn, but the immediate survival risk appears reduced.
