GeNeuro SA Announces Definitive Debt-Restructuring Moratorium
GENEVA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:
GeNeuro (Euronext Paris: CH0308403085 - GNRO), a biopharmaceutical company developing new treatments for neurodegenerative and autoimmune diseases, announces that the Geneva Court of First Instance has, in a May 26, 2025, judgment, granted GeNeuro SA a four-month definitive debt-restructuring moratorium, under the continued supervision of the court-appointed commissary.
Definitive Debt-Restructuring Moratorium
As previously announced, GeNeuro SA had obtained in September 2024 a four-month provisional debt-restructuring moratorium following the Geneva Court of First Instance's approval. This provisional moratorium was then extended in January 2025 for a further four months. This procedure is aimed at facilitating the restructuring of the Company's debts and exploring solutions to ensure the continuity of its operations in the interests of all stakeholders.
The decision to grant a definitive debt-restructuring moratorium of four months, extendable, granted on May 26, 2025, will allow GeNeuro SA to further its efforts to evaluate all available options, including recapitalization, advancing and/or monetizing its therapeutic assets in development, and negotiating agreements with its creditors. These efforts remain centered on maximizing value for all stakeholders and ensuring the Company's ability to continue its mission to develop innovative treatments targeting neurodegenerative and autoimmune diseases.
The definitive moratorium ensures that GeNeuro SA remains protected from creditor actions while it continues to develop and implement its restructuring strategy. Any significant developments will be communicated as appropriate.
The Geneva Court of First Instance judgment will be published in the Feuille d'Avis Officielle du canton de Genève and the Feuille Officielle Suisse du Commerce.
Operational and Financial Updates
The Commissary has approved that GeNeuro SA engages into part-time fixed term contracts with Jesús Martin Garcia and Miguel Payró, the Company's former CEO and CFO, to continue the ongoing restructuring efforts in the interest of all stakeholders.
As previously announced, the Company has decided to postpone the publication of its December 31, 2024 annual results and annual financial report in order to be able to take into account the financial impacts of the restructuring targeted by the Company as part of the granted debt-restructuring moratorium procedure. The Company will announce by press release the new date of their approval and publication.

GeNeuro's mission is to develop safe and effective treatments against neurological disorders and autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, by neutralizing causal factors encoded by HERVs, which represent 8% of human DNA. GeNeuro is based in Geneva, Switzerland and has R&D facilities in Lyon, France.
About the debt-restructuring moratorium
Under Swiss law (the law applicable to GeNeuro SA), a debt moratorium, or stay of execution, is a preventive measure to bankruptcy proceedings. The purpose of this procedure is to enable a company in financial difficulty to restructure its debts with its creditors and find measures to improve its situation. The stay protects the Company from legal action by its creditors while it works with the "commissaire au sursis", an independent expert appointed by the judge to supervise the process, help draw up a draft composition agreement and validate possible recovery measures. This process may result in a recapitalization of the company, a restructuring of its debt or a sale of all or some of its assets, among other things, with the proviso that if this fails, the company may be forced into bankruptcy.
The aim of this procedure is to reach an agreement that will enable the Company to continue its operations while satisfying its creditors.

Swiss deflation fuels talks of negative interest rates: Is SNB ready?
Remember negative interest rates? Back in early 2020, as the world grappled with the COVID-19 pandemic, central banks across advanced economies rushed to slash interest rates, offering cheaper borrowing to cushion the economic blow alongside unprecedented fiscal support. In many countries, rates tumbled to near or even below zero — an extraordinary policy shift reflecting the urgency of avoiding a prolonged recession. Fast forward five years, and no major economy currently operates with rates at or below zero. But Switzerland could soon change that. Switzerland could soon become the first advanced economy to re-enter the era of negative interest rates. A confluence of weakening price pressures and a subdued economic outlook has sparked growing expectations that the Swiss National Bank (SNB) will resume ultra-loose monetary policy, potentially cutting interest rates below zero in the coming months. Last week, the Swiss Federal Statistical Office reported that consumer prices fell by 0.1% in May 2025 compared to a year earlier, marking the first deflationary print since March 2021. The decline was broad-based, with notable year-on-year contractions in transport costs (-3.7%), food and non-alcoholic beverages (-0.3%), healthcare (-0.2%), and household goods and services (-2.6%). While a modest bout of deflation is not in itself alarming, it underscores the fragility of domestic demand and presents a challenge for the SNB's inflation target. The central bank defines price stability as annual inflation between 0% and 2%. "Swiss inflation could remain close to 0%, which represents the lower end of the SNB's price stability range," said Niklas Garnadt, economist at Goldman Sachs. The expert identified declining inflation expectations, falling energy prices, and potential trade frictions as downside pressures on the price outlook going forward. The SNB, which currently holds its policy rate at 0.25%, meets on 19 June, and economists are expecting another rate cut of 25 basis points. According to Goldman Sachs' base case, the SNB will lower its policy rate to -0.25% by September, in two successive cuts. Yet, there is a 40% chance, the bank noted, that policymakers may opt for more aggressive easing, with two 50 basis point cuts taking the rate back to -0.75% — the lowest in its history. Although the SNB also has foreign exchange operations at its disposal, economists expect interest rate cuts to take precedence in the near term. There are some reasons for this preference, according to Goldman Sachs. "The SNB has prior experience managing the impact of negative rates," Garnadt said. Moreover, domestic inflation is more responsive to interest rates than currency movements. And finally, Switzerland remains on the US Treasury's watchlist for currency manipulation, potentially constraining foreign-exchange intervention activity. That said, foreign exchange interventions have not been ruled out entirely. During the post-2008 low-inflation years, the SNB frequently bought foreign currency to stem franc appreciation. The SNB is again navigating familiar territory, balancing the need to support inflation against the risks of overreliance on unconventional measures. While Switzerland's economic fundamentals remain relatively strong, the renewed threat of deflation could push the central bank to breach interest-rate lower bounds again.

Dollar holds steady after U.S., China reach framework deal to ease export curbs
The dollar was steady against its major peers on Wednesday, after U.S. and China agreed on a framework for a trade agreement that investors hoped could potentially pave the way to resolving a damaging trade war between the world's two largest economies. In early Asia trading, the dollar was down 0.14% against the Japanese yen at 144.770, and slipped 0.13% against the Swiss franc to last change hands at 0.8218. The euro was flat at $1.1427, while China's offshore yuan was little changed at 7.1881 per dollar. An index that measures the greenback against six other currencies was little changed and was last at 99.068. U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said that U.S. and Chinese officials concluded keenly watched talks in London that lasted for two days and agreed to put their trade truce reached last month in Geneva back on track. The framework included resolving China's export restrictions on rare earth minerals and magnets, and will also remove some U.S. export restrictions that were recently put in place. "The devil is going to be in the details and importantly whether this can help to reestablish trust between President Xi and President Trump, which has clearly been broken since the Geneva Agreement was published," said Ray Attrill, head of FX strategy at National Australia Bank. "But it's way too early to say that we know we're in the midst of establishing a cast iron, new U.S.-China trade agreement." Much of the year has been dominated by investors fretting over the likelihood that U.S. President Donald Trump's erratic policies could tip the U.S. economy into a recession, and in turn hurt global growth. The erosion of investor confidence in U.S. assets has severely undermined the dollar, which is down more than 8% so far this year. Later in the day, investors will closely parse a U.S. consumer inflation report that could reflect the economic impact of tariffs on prices, potentially determining the trajectory of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy for the rest of the year. The Fed is expected to hold rates steady next week, with traders pricing in nearly two 25-basis-point cuts by the end of the year. UK's sterling was marginally higher at $1.35 as markets awaited British finance minister Rachel Reeves' public spending plans. The currency came under pressure overnight after data pointed to a weak labor market.
