Avant Technologies And Ainnova Tech Begin Acquisition Talks Ahead Of FDA Pre-Submission Meeting

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA / ACCESS Newswire / May 12, 2025 / Avant Technologies Inc. (OTCQB:AVAI) ("Avant" or the "Company"), and its JV partner, Ainnova Tech, Inc., (Ainnova), a leading healthcare technology company focused on revolutionizing early disease detection using artificial intelligence (AI), today announced the companies and their advisors have entered into negotiations for an acquisition to better compete in the rapidly changing global AI-driven healthcare industry.

Six months ago, the two companies formed Ai-nova Acquisition Corp. (AAC) to advance and commercialize Ainnova's technology portfolio, including its Vision AI platform and its versatile retinal cameras. During that time, the two companies completed further due diligence and focused on an opportunity to work together as one company. The Board of Directors and management team of Avant remain fully committed to executing the Company's strategic plan, which is focused on enhancing long-term value. Leadership at Avant expects the negotiations to move forward with an acquisition of Ainnova.

Both Avant and Ainnova agree that the time is now to solidify the relationship and move forward as one entity prior to the Company's pre-submission meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in July for the planned clinical trial of its Vision AI platform in the early detection of diabetic retinopathy.

Vinicio Vargas, Chief Executive Officer at Ainnova and a member of the Board of Directors of Ai-nova Acquisition Corp., said of the negotiations, "We believe bringing the two companies together will offer tremendous value for shareholders, it will simplify the process of advancing our technology to market, and it will deliver value to our customers and partners as we promote our technology portfolio globally.

We feel the joint venture has been a success and both companies have worked well together toward a common goal, so we believe that we can be even more successful and use our resources more effectively as one company to further AI in healthcare."

Currently, AAC has the worldwide licensing rights for Ainnova's technology portfolio. The licensing rights include the U.S., where the FDA regulates drug and medical device development, so both companies expect that an acquisition will unlock growth opportunities and drive sustained performance as both entities plan to interact with the FDA in July for an upcoming clinical trial working even more closely together under one banner.

Vargas continued, "The success of our interactions with the FDA are crucial to our success in the clinic and eventually the success of marketing our technology portfolio in the United States and around the world. Entering the U.S. market will unlock significant commercial potential, and this early engagement with the FDA ensures that we can do so with speed, credibility, and a validated product."

Avant will inform its shareholders of any updates at an appropriate time.
