Happily, in the case of All Active (AAA) the company has got on with the job since the suspension last Spring. AAA has agreed non-binding heads of terms for the Sentiance Acquisition and is currently negotiating a binding sale and purchase agreement. The acquisition should be completed before the end of April 2022. To help liquidity, an over the counter market will commence shortly, initially through Oberon Investments (OBE).

This collaboration will initially research the potential of Sirtuin-6 in reversing the aging process in liver tissue. This is a key milestone for GENF in that the initial premise of the company on listing earlier this year was to slow ageing, rather than reverse it, promising game changing prospects in the medical area.
