The independent directors of Braveheart were offered an opportunity to acquire a substantial stake in IQ-AI. They considered that IB is making progress in its Phase 1 Clinical Trial of gallium maltolate, as reported by IQ-AI on 13 August 2024. The IQ-AI business fits well with Braveheart's investment strategy and will make an attractive addition to Braveheart's investment portfolio at what the board considered is an attractive entry price.
