PetVivo Settles VetStem Dispute; Inventory Clause Could Trigger Extra Payment
PETV is trading near its 52-week low of $0.6 (7.1% above the low).
Summary
PetVivo terminated its dispute with VetStem via a settlement agreement, with all prior financial obligations satisfied except required payments. A new inventory reconciliation clause may require additional payment if inventory falls below a minimum threshold. This follows the earlier report of a $75K settlement, adding a contingent liability that could affect cash reserves. The company, already under a going concern warning and with recent auditor replacement, faces ongoing financial strain. The settlement clears a legal overhang but introduces a new variable cost tied to inventory levels.
At the time of this announcement, PETV was trading at $0.64 on OTC in the Life Sciences sector, with a market capitalization of approximately $24.1M. The 52-week trading range was $0.60 to $1.69.
