Dear Investors,
After thoughtful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to close Bobacino. While our team made meaningful progress toward bringing Bobacino to market, the broader economic climate and current fundraising environment have made it increasingly difficult to secure the resources required to continue development and achieve full regulatory compliance.
As shared in our last update, both our CEO and Strategic Advisor departed the company, and we began a search for new leadership to continue moving Bobacino forward. However, given the financial and operational demands of the next phase, it ultimately became clear that winding down operations was the most responsible path forward.
As a result of the company’s closure, invested capital has been fully lost. Attached is documentation that investors may use for tax reporting purposes. Please consult your tax advisor regarding how this loss may apply to your individual situation.
We have also included FAQs below to help answer common questions regarding the wind-down process and tax reporting.
We are deeply grateful for your support and trust in Bobacino, and we sincerely regret that the company was unable to achieve the outcome we all worked toward.
Sincerely,
Bobacino Investor Relations
