Longevity Health Holdings Announces Merger with THPlasma and Termination of 20/20 BioLabs Transaction

News Provided by GlobeNewswire2025-07-14

PITTSBURGH, July 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Longevity Health Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: XAGE), a company focused on human longevity and healthy aging (“Longevity”, the “Company”, “we”, “our”, or “us”), today announced the execution of a definitive merger agreement (the “Merger”) with True Health Inc., a leading player in the fast growing plasma collection industry under the THPlasma brand (“THPlasma”), to combine the companies in an all-stock transaction. Following the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”), the combined company is expected to continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “XAGE.”

Longevity today also announced the mutual termination of the 20/20 BioLabs transaction pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement.

The announced merger with THPlasma follows Longevity’s acquisition of Carmell Therapeutics (“Carmell”) in July 2023 and Elevai Skincare (“Elevai”) in January 2025. The Carmell technology platform is based on plasma-derived growth factors, whereas Elevai is based on exosomes derived from hUM stem cells.

Despite supplying over 60% of the world’s plasma, the United States faces a shortfall in plasma and plasma-derived therapeutics - like immunoglobulins, clotting factors, and albumin. THPlasma is playing a critical role in addressing this shortfall with a rapidly growing footprint of plasma collection centers.

Highlights of the THPlasma business:

Ramping up from 2 centers in FY24 (New Jersey) to 5 centers (New Jersey and Pennsylvania) in FY25.
Guaranteed sales offtake agreements for $100 million in annual sales.
Achieved cash profitability in FY2024.
Estimated FY2025 revenue of $10 million, EBITDA of $2 million and net income of $1 million.¹
Estimated FY2026 revenue of $32 million (~220% YoY growth) and EBITDA of $7 million (250% YoY growth), and net income of $4 million (~325% YoY growth).¹
Targeting rapid growth through acquisitions and organic growth.

Highlights of the Transaction:

THPlasma valued at $59 million plus $20 million earnout linked with the achievement of financial results.
THPlasma valued at 2.5 times FY26E revenue inclusive of earnout.
Longevity stock valued at $3.00, a 12% premium to the July 11^th (Friday) closing price.
No cash conditions precedent to merger closing.
Mr. Rajiv Shukla, Chairman and CEO of Longevity, will serve as Executive Chairman, and Mr. George Chi, Founder and CEO of THPlasma, will be appointed as Co-Chairman and CEO post-Closing.
The transaction has been unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of both companies and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions, including approvals by the stockholders of each company.

Said Mr. George Chi, Founder and CEO of THPlasma, “I am thrilled to announce our merger with Longevity, a transformative step expected to supercharge our growth by unlocking access to public markets and future M&A opportunities. Our teams are strategically aligned to fuel innovation, accelerate scale, and deliver value across the board. This is an exciting milestone in our journey, and I look forward to the incredible opportunities ahead as we build the future together through our disciplined execution approach.”

Said Mr. Rajiv Shukla, Chairman and CEO of Longevity, “We are excited to announce a significant inflection point in our shareholder value creation journey. Our merger with a rapidly growing, cash-profitable business valued at an attractive multiple will benefit our shareholders. We expect to drive further growth in THPlasma through M&A and organic growth.”
