New York, NY, Las Vegas, NV, Tokyo, JP, July 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — INSTINCT BIO TECHNICAL COMPANY HOLDINGS INC. (\u201cInstinct Bio,\u201d \u201cBIOT,\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d), the parent company of Instinct Bio Technical Company Inc<\/strong>, an integrated regenerative medicine and longevity company, and Relativity Acquisition Corp. <\/strong>(OTC: ACQC), a special purpose acquisition company, today jointly announced the successful completion of its previously announced business combination (the \u201cBusiness Combination\u201d). The milestone positions Instinct Bio into a publicly listed life sciences company and gives U.S. investors direct access to one of the most transformative \u00a0frontiers in healthcare: the science of living longer, healthier lives.<\/p>\n Instinct Bio Completes Business Combination with Relativity Acquisition Corp. and Makes Its Nasdaq Debut Under the Ticker \u201cBIOT\u201d on July 24, 2026<\/p>\n Beginning on July 24, 2026, Instinct Bio\u2019s common stock and warrants are expected to commence trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market <\/strong>under the ticker symbols \u201cBIOT\u201d<\/strong> and \u201cBIOTW\u201d<\/strong>, respectively \u2013 a defining moment in the Company\u2019s evolution from a Tokyo-born innovator into a global, Nasdaq-listed regenerative medicine platform.<\/p>\n Transaction Highlights<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2022\u00a0 Nasdaq debut: <\/strong>Trading in \u201cBIOT\u201d common stock and \u201cBIOTW\u201d warrants expected to begin on July 24, 2026.<\/p>\n \u2022\u00a0 Pro forma enterprise value: <\/strong>Approximately $288 million at closing.<\/p>\n \u2022\u00a0 A scarce asset: <\/strong>BIOT lists as one of the few vertically integrated, revenue-generating health and longevity platforms available to U.S. public market investors.<\/p>\n A Public Company Built for the Longevity Economy<\/strong><\/p>\n Instinct Bio arrives on Nasdaq at an inflection point for the industry. The global longevity and wellness market\u2014which spans regenerative medicine, cell-based therapies, and evidence-based skincare\u2014is projected to grow from approximately $27.6 billion in 2025 to approximately $67.0 billion by 2035, driven by an aging population, rising consumer healthcare spending, and rapid advances in stem cell science (Source: Report by research firm SNS Insider).<\/p>\n Instinct Bio was purpose-built for this moment: the Company unites proprietary stem cell technology, in-house manufacturing, and premium consumer brands under one roof, allowing discoveries to travel from the laboratory to the customer faster than fragmented competitors.<\/p>\n With operations spanning Tokyo, Las Vegas, and New York, and an established commercial footprint across Asia, BIOT offers investors a differentiated combination rarely found in the sector: real products, diversified revenue, and a deep innovation pipeline in one of healthcare\u2019s fastest-growing categories.<\/p>\n Management Commentary<\/strong><\/p>\n Tomoki Nagano, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Instinct Bio<\/strong>, stated:<\/p>\n \u201cToday marks one of the most important milestones in our company\u2019s history \u2013 but listing on Nasdaq is not our destination; it is our launchpad. From day one, our mission has been bold: to help people everywhere live longer, healthier, more vital lives through the power of regenerative science. As a Nasdaq-listed company, we now have the currency, the visibility, and the global platform to pursue that mission at full speed \u2013 advancing our stem cell technologies, scaling our manufacturing, and bringing our products to customers around the world. To our shareholders, employees, partners, advisors, and customers: thank you for believing in this vision. The most exciting chapter of the Instinct Bio story starts tomorrow morning, when \u2018BIOT\u2019 crosses the tape for the first time.\u201d<\/p>\n Tarek K. Tabsh, Chief Executive Officer of Relativity Acquisition Corp.<\/strong>, added:<\/p>\n \u201cThis transaction represents the culmination of years of perseverance through one of the most challenging IPO markets in recent history. We are deeply grateful to our service providers, investors, and partners, whose confidence and commitment made this milestone possible. We also recognize those whose leadership has helped restore confidence in the U.S. capital markets and strengthen the environment that attracts the world\u2019s leading companies, entrepreneurs, innovators, and talent. Finally, we thank Tomoki-san for his extraordinary vision, discipline, and unwavering commitment to advancing healthcare innovation. His leadership is helping transform breakthrough science into real-world impact and brings us closer to a future in which longer, healthier lives become the global standard.\u201d<\/p>\n Growth Strategy: Five Engines of Value Creation<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2022\u00a0 Breakthrough science: <\/strong>Expand proprietary regenerative medicine and stem cell technology R&D, deepening the pipeline that powers every BIOT product.<\/p>\n \u2022\u00a0 Manufacturing at scale: <\/strong>Scale vertically integrated manufacturing capacity and world-class quality systems to meet accelerating global demand.<\/p>\n \u2022\u00a0 Premium commercialization: <\/strong>Accelerate the rollout of premium regenerative health and skincare products across new channels and geographies.<\/p>\n \u2022\u00a0 Strategic expansion: <\/strong>Pursue high-impact partnerships, licensing opportunities, and selective acquisitions that compound the platform\u2019s reach.<\/p>\n \u2022\u00a0 Global footprint: <\/strong>Grow operations across Asia and into new international markets, supported by strengthened governance and public-company infrastructure.<\/p>\n Why BIOT Stands Apart<\/strong><\/p>\n BIOT\u2019s competitive moat is built on the full integration of capabilities that most peers must assemble piecemeal: proprietary stem cell and regenerative technology, vertically integrated, quality-controlled manufacturing, premium consumer brands with international commercialization reach, and a disciplined, founder-led management culture. This end-to-end model shortens the distance from scientific discovery to commercial product \u2013 and positions the Company to capture value at every step of the chain.<\/p>\n About Instinct Bio<\/strong><\/p>\n INSTINCT BIO TECHNICAL COMPANY HOLDINGS INC.
