Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On November 01, 2022, SAB Biotherapeutics, Inc. (the “Company” or “SAB”) led two PowerPoint presentations titled, “Plasma fractionation and downstream processing of human polyclonal antibodies from the DiversitAb platform” and “Phase 2 efficacy and safety of two novel SAB immunotherapies against respiratory disease indications associated with highly mutating viruses” at the 2022 Plasma Product Biotechnology Conference held in in Limassol, Cyprus.
The Company's first presentation provided an overview of SAB’s novel immunotherapy platform utilizing a specialized manufacturing process to enable a scalable and reliable production of targeted, higher-potency neutralizing antibody products than has been previously possible. A copy of the first presentation is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Company's second presentation provided data on SAB-185 for COVID-19 and SAB-176 for seasonal and pandemic influenza. The data show that SAB-185 and SAB-176 are highly effective against variants of several highly mutating viruses associated with the diseases, a major challenge in currently available treatments for COVID-19 and influenza. A copy of the second presentation is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The foregoing (including Exhibit 99.1 and 99.2) is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 of Form 8-K and will not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise be subject to the liabilities of that section, nor will it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act. The information contained in each presentation is summary information that should be considered in the context of the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and other public announcements the Company may make by press release or otherwise from time to time.
