Hu­man Longevi­ty makes a move to­ward Nas­daq with po­ten­tial SPAC deal, but noth­ing's fi­nal yet

An­ti-ag­ing com­pa­ny Hu­man Longevi­ty, found­ed by pi­o­neer­ing ge­nom­ic re­searcher Craig Ven­ter, is one step clos­er, po­ten­tial­ly, to be­com­ing a pub­lic com­pa­ny.

The start­up put out a press re­lease Mon­day af­ter­noon say­ing it has signed a “let­ter of in­tent” to re­verse merge with a SPAC run by for­mer Cred­it Su­isse CEO Tid­jane Thi­am, known as Free­dom Ac­qui­si­tion I Corp. If none of the SPAC in­vestors re­deem their shares and pull out at the float price of $10, Hu­man Longevi­ty will re­ceive $345 mil­lion.
