THE COMPANY
Jabez Biosciences is a Clinical Stage Biotechnology company developing liquid and solid tumor therapies. The company’s lead technology is a dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) small molecule inhibitor. This proprietary small molecule is easily synthesized, encapsulated for oral dosing, and stores at room temperature. Strong pre-clinical data suggests that the Jabez molecule may be a safe and effective therapeutic in humans for a number of solid and liquid tumors, allowing for an Investigational New Drug application. ▇▇▇▇▇’s novel DHODH compound was created and developed by world class scientists at The Ohio State University ▇▇▇▇▇ Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute . The drug inhibits tumor cell growth and survival by not allowing cells to repair and multiply. This treatment is considered a targeted therapy (unlike a chemotherapy) because it only effects proliferative diseases where the diseased cells need to grow at accelerated rates, such as cancer. The way normal cells repair and multiply is unaffected. The drug is Phase I ready with anticipated IND filing in June 2024 and anticipated study start in September/October 2024.
The DHODH inhibitor is anticipated to be a First Line Treatment, for several solid and liquid tumor types, many qualifying for FDA fast track, priority review, and orphan status, creating “first in the que” reviews from the FDA and shorter times to approval. The DHODH inhibitor class has become an increasingly popular inhibitor in recent years. The FDA approved multiple DHODH drug programs such as Sanofi’s Arava®, indicated for rheumatoid arthritis, and Aubagio® indicated for multiple sclerosis.
The safety and efficacy of DHODH class is well known in the oncology space for blocking cell cycle progression and inducing apoptosis, which has led companies like ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Innovative Medicine (J&J, formerly Janssen) to invest in their own DHODH program for Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). J&J’s multi-year investment has no doubt stirred the interest of Big Pharma in this class of drug and should help validate ▇▇▇▇▇’ own program while increasing its intrinsic value. Interest in Jabez by other Big Pharma companies looking to expand their small molecule platforms may have some comfort level in the future because of J&J’s program.

REPRESENTATIONS AND AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
Company Representations. The Company is a duly formed and valid entity existing under Florida law. The Company has all right and title to enter into this Agreement without condition or reservation. The Company has the full legal right and authority to issue the Shares purchased by Purchaser hereunder.
Purchaser Representations. Purchaser represents that he or she has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Purchaser has been afforded full and complete opportunity to receive and review all business and financial information regarding the Company and its business and is satisfied as to the same. Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of this investment and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has had the opportunity to seek the advice of legal or financial advisers regarding this investment and has carefully reviewed all Risk Factors associated with this highly speculative and risky investment.
RISK FACTORS
The purchase of Shares is subject to a number of significant risks in the Company or businesses in which the Company operates. The following risk factors should be carefully considered.
Investments in small businesses and start-up companies are often risky.
Small businesses may depend heavily upon a single customer, supplier, or employee whose departure would seriously damage the Company’s profitability. The demand for the Company’s product may be seasonal or be impacted by the overall economy, or the Company could face other risks that are specific to its industry or type of business. The Company may also have difficulty competing against larger companies who can negotiate for better prices from suppliers, produce goods and services on a large scale more economically, or take advantage of bigger marketing budgets. Furthermore, a small business could face risks from lawsuits, governmental regulations, and other potential impediments to growth.
The Company may need additional capital, which may not be available.
The Company may require funds in excess of its existing cash resources to fund operating deficits, develop new products or services, establish, and expand its marketing capabilities, and finance general and administrative activities. Due to market conditions at the time the Company may need additional funding, or due to its financial condition at that time, it is possible that the Company will be unable to obtain additional funding as and when it needs it and that could significantly affect the success of the Company.
3
The Company’s management has broad discretion in how the Company use the net proceeds of an offering.
The Company’s management will have considerable discretion over the use of proceeds from their offering. You may not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately.
The Company faces significant competition and operates in a highly regulated industry.
The Company operates in the areas of bio-technology products and services, which is a highly competitive industry. There is substantial competition in the industry and many of the competitors are larger companies with deeper resources than the Company. Therefore, the Company will face stiff competition as it seeks to grow and execute its business plan. In addition, the Company operates in a highly regulated industry and as a result can incur significant costs and regulatory hurdles in bringing its products to market. Competitors may be better financed and able to overcome these regulatory hurdles and as such the Company may be at a disadvantage in the marketplace as a result.
The Company may not be able to manage its potential growth.
For the Company to succeed, it needs to experience significant expansion. There can be no assurance that it will achieve this expansion. This expansion, if accomplished, may place a significant strain on the Company’s management, operational and financial resources. To manage any material growth, the Company will be required to implement operational and financial systems, procedures and controls. It will also be required to expand its finance, administrative and operations staff. There can be no assurance that the Company’s current and planned personnel, systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support its future operations at any increased level. The Company’s failure to manage growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition.
The Company’s success relies on market acceptance.
While the Company believes that there will be significant customer demand for its products/services, there is no assurance that there will be broad market acceptance of the Company’s product offerings. In such event, there may be a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition, and the Company may not be able to achieve its business goals.
We have a limited operating history, which may make it difficult for investors to predict future performance based on current operations.
We have a limited operating history upon which investors may base an evaluation of our potential future performance. In particular, our limited staff and operating history means that there is a high degree of uncertainty regarding our ability to (i) develop and commercialize our technologies and proposed products (ii) obtain regulatory approval to commence the marketing of our products, (iii) manage growth, (iv) achieve market acceptance or insurance reimbursement for any of our proposed products, if successfully developed, or (v) respond to competition. As a result, there can be no assurance that we will be able to develop or maintain consistent revenue sources, or that our operations will be profitable and/or generate positive cash flows.
Any forecasts we make about our operations may prove to be inaccurate. We must, among other things, determine appropriate risks, rewards, and level of investment in our product lines, respond to economic and market variables outside of our control, respond to competitive developments and continue to attract, retain, and motivate qualified employees. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in meeting these challenges and addressing such risks and the failure to do so could have a materially adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses, and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the early stage of development. As a result of these risks, challenges, and uncertainties, the value of your investment could be significantly reduced or completely lost.
4
If we are unable to successfully identify, develop, and commercialize any product candidates, or experience significant delays in doing so, our business, financial condition, and results of operations will be materially adversely affected.
Our ability to generate revenue from sales of any of our product candidates, which we do not expect to occur for at least the next several years, if ever, will depend heavily on the timely and successful identification, development, regulatory approval, and eventual commercialization of any such product candidates, which may never occur. To date, we have not generated revenue from sales of any products, and we may never be able to develop, obtain regulatory approval for, or commercialize a marketable product. Before we generate any revenue from product sales of any of our current or potential future product candidates, we will need to manage preclinical, clinical, and manufacturing activities, including undertaking significant clinical development, obtain regulatory approval in multiple jurisdictions, establish manufacturing supply, including commercial manufacturing supply, and build a commercial organization, which will require substantial investment and significant marketing efforts. We may never receive regulatory approval for any of our product candidates, which would prevent us from marketing, promoting, or selling any of our product candidates and generating revenue.
Our success depends on our ability to protect our intellectual property rights and proprietary technologies, and we may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights throughout the world.
Patent rights are generally national or regional rights. The filing, prosecution, maintenance, and defense of patent rights on our platform technologies and product candidates worldwide would be prohibitively expensive, and our intellectual property rights in some countries outside the United States may have a different scope and strength than do those in the United States. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries, particularly certain developing countries, do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as federal and state laws in the United States. Consequently, we may not be able to prevent third parties from practicing our intellectual property rights in all countries outside the United States or from making, using, selling, or importing products made using our intellectual property rights in and into the United States or other jurisdictions. Competitors may use our technologies in jurisdictions where we have not obtained intellectual property rights, including patent protection, to develop their own products and may also export otherwise infringing products to territories where we have intellectual property rights, including patent protection, but enforcement rights are not as strong as those in the United States. These products may compete with our products and our patent or other intellectual property rights may not be effective or adequate to prevent them from competing.
The Company’s founders, directors and executive officers own or control a majority of the Company.
Additionally, the holdings of the Company’s directors and executive officers may increase in the future upon vesting or other maturation of exercise rights under any of the options or warrants they may hold or in the future be granted or if they otherwise acquire additional interest in the Company. The interests of such persons may differ from the interests of the Company’s other stockholders, including purchasers of securities in the offering. As a result, in addition to their board seats and offices, such persons will have significant influence over and control all corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, irrespective of how the Company’s other stockholders, including purchasers in the offering, may vote.
The Company may not be able to accomplish its public listing, and a market may not develop for the Shares.
The Company is planning to become publicly listed within 12 months from the date hereof. However, there is no assurance that such public listing will ever occur or that a market will ever develop for the sale of the Shares in either event.
