CDT Positions for Transformational Growth

NAPLES, Fla. and CAMBRIDGE, United Kingdom, March 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CDT Equity Inc. (Nasdaq: CDT) (“CDT” or the “Company”) advances multiple initiatives designed to enhance shareholder value and expand its strategic footprint.

The Company continues to actively develop and expand its pharmaceutical asset portfolio, including solid-form and cocrystal development programs, alongside its licensed clinical assets AZD1656, AZD5658 and AZD5904 under its agreement with AstraZeneca. CDT remains engaged in ongoing evaluation and out-licensing discussions and continues to assess pathways to maximize the commercial and strategic potential of these assets. The Company believes this diversified asset base provides several avenues through which value may be realized.

In addition, CDT recently completed its strategic acquisition of a 20% equity stake in Sarborg for an initial consideration of $115 million, providing shareholders with direct participation in a growing agentic AI signature intelligence business whose activities extend beyond pharmaceuticals into additional sectors, including bacteria and agrochemicals. The consideration was satisfied through the issuance of common stock and pre-funded warrants, reinforcing its balance sheet. CDT believes the transaction enhances its overall asset position and broadens its exposure to scalable, data-driven opportunity sets across multiple industries.

The Company believes it is in a strong position to evaluate opportunities that could be materially transformative to its balance sheet and market capitalization. CDT continues to assess strategic transactions, partnerships and corporate initiatives that may enhance its financial position and long-term growth profile. Subject to customary approvals, the Company also expects to retain access to capital markets tools that may further strengthen its financial flexibility and strategic optionality.

“We are focused on pursuing transformational opportunities that enhance shareholder value,” said Dr. Andrew Regan, Chief Executive of CDT. “Through our investment in Sarborg, continued development of our pharmaceutical portfolio, and disciplined evaluation of strategic transactions, we believe CDT has multiple pathways to drive meaningful long-term growth.”

CDT also continues to evaluate capital markets initiatives that may further strengthen its financial flexibility and support the execution of its strategic objectives.
