What Happened

  • Advanced Biomed Inc. announced it completed the acquisition of Acellent Technologies (Hong Kong) Co. Limited (the “Target”) and issued 270,000 shares of its common stock (valued at $4.00/share, aggregate $1,080,000) as purchase consideration. The acquisition closed on April 30, 2026 and the shares were issued in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
  • The company also announced a strategic pivot from life sciences to artificial intelligence development. As part of that transition, Yi Lu and the Company mutually agreed to a leadership transition; Mr. Lu was separated from his roles as CEO, director and Chairman and received 39,999 shares of common stock as severance under a Termination Agreement dated April 28, 2026.
  • The Board appointed Xiaomin Chen as Chief Executive Officer, director and Chairman of the Board effective April 28, 2026. Mr. Chen is the former CEO of Acellent (the acquired company) with over 20 years of AI and fintech experience and holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Rutgers University.
