FOXO facing capital shortage

FOXO Technologies hosted its Q2’23 earnings call on Aug 4, 2023. Select highlights:

• Secured additional financing through a private placement and streamlined capital structure.
• Expanded the epigenetic program and shifted strategic focus beyond the life insurance sector.
• Developed a saliva-based underwriting technology powered by epigenetic science and launched FOXO Longevity Report for consumer engagement.
• Feedback received on marketing efforts led to insights into consumer interests, necessitating further R&D.
• With an increased focus on bioinformatics and AI-driven R&D, further development will be paused to ensure successful offerings in the future.
• Plans to return to insurance offerings later and will double down on strengths in bioinformatics and AI.
• Plans to expand into the global blood testing, wellness testing, and at-home fitness industries – “pending sufficient capitalization”.
• Research studies with multiple organizations are planned to accelerate new health measures.
• Completed 2 issuer tender offers in May: an exchange offer and a PIK Note Offer to amend.
• Reduced staff to minimize expenses and align with the renewed business direction.
• Net Loss to Common Stockholders: 3 months ended June 30, 2023: $13.8 million ($0.49 per share).
