McCarthy commented:

“OncoSec announced that Alpha Holdings Inc (KOSDAQ: 117670 – NR) will invest $15M in OncoSec shares at $1.50 per share. Alpha is a Korean-based company in the semiconductor business that is developing/expanding into the development of biotechnologies. The takeway for OncoSec shareholders is: ○ The company is building a presence in South Korea and Asia. ○ Strengthened Balance Sheet – we estimate OncoSec currently has ~ $26M in cash, excluding the $15M from Alpha. As such the runway should extend into late CY19. ○ Further validation of OncoSec’s DNA-based immune-oncology platform.”
