SAN DIEGO, CA—(Marketwired – May 05, 2015) – MyDx, Inc., Nevada corporation (PINKSHEETS: MYDX) (the “Company”), has completed a reverse merger on May 5, 2015 pursuant to which CDx, Inc., a Delaware corporation, became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company trades on the OTC Markets under the symbol “MYDX”. The Company intends to “up–list” to the OTCQB marketplace.
CDx created MyDxâ„¢, the first battery operated, handheld, electronic nose for consumers, which offers a quick, easy and affordable way for consumers to test the safety and composition of what they eat, drink and inhale. MyDxâ„¢ uses interchangeable sensors to test solids, liquids and gases of interest. The Company's planned products include OrganaDx for food; AquaDx for water; AeroDx for air; and CannaDx for cannabis. Information from the sensor is sent via Bluetooth to the MyDx App, allowing users to view chemical composition and more.
“We have created the first handheld chemical analyzer for consumers which can measure chemicals of interest at a sensitivity and price point others cannot match,” said Daniel Yazbeck, CEO of the Company. “This first mover advantage in our markets, along with our patented technology, will allow us to initially enter the expanding organic produce and cannabis markets. We expect that our CannaDx sensor will be the first product to market in 2015, and it is already generating a lot of excitement. Looking forward, we plan to introduce additional products to help consumers easily and affordably trust and verify the safety and composition of what they put into their minds and bodies.”
The Company, headquartered in La Jolla, California, will continue the business of CDx as its primary line of business. The Company's new management team includes Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, Daniel Yazbeck; President, Skip Sanzeri; Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, Tom Gruber; Chief Revenue Officer David Bortolin; Chief Technology Officer, Jean Pierre Leblanc, Chief Marketing Officer Robert Lewis.
CDx completed private placements totaling 7.9 million shares of its Series A and B Preferred Stock in private offerings resulting in gross proceeds of $7.6 million. In connection with the private placement, CDx also issued warrants to purchase approximately 7.6 million of its Series B Preferred Stock, which have been assumed by the Company and converted into the right to purchase approximately 7.6 million shares of Company common stock at $1.10 per share. The Company intends to use net proceeds of the private placement principally for research and development, product inventory and manufacturing, marketing and sales, and general and administrative expenses.Â
