MELVILLE, N.Y., June 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. ('BioRestorative', 'BRTX' or the 'Company') (NASDAQ:BRTX), a clinical stage regenerative medicine innovator focused on stem cell-based therapies and products, today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to $2 million of its outstanding common stock through June 16, 2026.
"This share repurchase program reflects our confidence in the strength of our clinical development pipeline and the future outlook of our business,' said Lance Alstodt, Chief Executive Officer of BioRestorative. 'There is no question in our minds that BioRestorative has great science, assets and people. As such, we believe our current share price does not reflect the intrinsic value of the company, particularly in light of our recent clinical and operational progress. Accordingly, we believe this program provides us with an opportunity to enhance long-term shareholder value.'
The repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions, or by other means in accordance with applicable securities laws. The timing, number, and value of shares repurchased under the program will be at the discretion of the Company's management and will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions, share price, and other corporate considerations.
The share repurchase program may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time at the Company's discretion and does not obligate the Company to acquire any amount of common stock.
About BioRestorative Therapies, Inc.
BioRestorative (www.biorestorative.com) develops therapeutic products using cell and tissue protocols, primarily involving adult stem cells. As described below, our two core clinical development programs relate to the treatment of disc/spine disease and metabolic disorders, and we also operate a commercial BioCosmeceutical platform:
• Disc/Spine Program (brtxDISC™): Our lead cell therapy candidate, BRTX-100, is a product formulated from autologous (or a person's own) cultured mesenchymal stem cells collected from the patient's bone marrow. We intend that the product will be used for the non-surgical treatment of painful lumbosacral disc disorders or as a complementary therapeutic to a surgical procedure. The BRTX-100 production process utilizes proprietary technology and involves collecting a patient's bone marrow, isolating and culturing stem cells from the bone marrow and cryopreserving the cells. In an outpatient procedure, BRTX-100 is to be injected by a physician into the patient's damaged disc. The treatment is intended for patients whose pain has not been alleviated by non-invasive procedures and who potentially face the prospect of surgery. We have commenced a Phase 2 clinical trial using BRTX-100 to treat chronic lower back pain arising from degenerative disc disease. We have also obtained U.S. Food and Drug Administration ('FDA') Investigational New Drug ('IND') clearance to evaluate BRTX-100 in the treatment of chronic cervical discogenic pain.
• Metabolic Program (ThermoStem®): We are developing cell-based therapy candidates to target obesity and metabolic disorders using brown adipose (fat) derived stem cells ('BADSC') to generate brown adipose tissue ('BAT'), as well as exosomes secreted by BADSC. BAT is intended to mimic naturally occurring brown adipose depots that regulate metabolic homeostasis in humans. Initial preclinical research indicates that increased amounts of brown fat in animals may be responsible for additional caloric burning as well as reduced glucose and lipid levels. Researchers have found that people with higher levels of brown fat may have a reduced risk for obesity and diabetes. BADSC secreted exosomes may also impact weight loss.
• BioCosmeceuticals: We operate a commercial BioCosmeceutical platform. Our current commercial product, formulated and manufactured using our cGMP ISO-7 certified clean room, is a cell-based secretome containing exosomes, proteins and growth factors. This proprietary biologic serum has been specifically engineered by us to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and bring forth other areas of cosmetic effectiveness. Moving forward, we also intend to explore the potential of expanding our commercial offering to include a broader family of cell-based biologic aesthetic products and therapeutics via IND-enabling studies, with the aim of pioneering FDA approvals in the emerging BioCosmeceuticals space.
