In a significant strategic development, Shuttle Pharmaceuticals announced the completion of its merger with United Dogecoin Inc., making the latter a wholly owned subsidiary. As part of this merger, Shuttle issued 8,000 shares of Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock to United Dogecoin equity holders, which are convertible into approximately 32,264,000 shares of common stock pending stockholder approval. Additionally, Shuttle Pharmaceuticals approved a 10-for-1 reverse stock split of its common stock, effective shortly. This move will adjust the trading of its common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market under a new CUSIP number. United Dogecoin, now under Shuttle's umbrella, has purchased ElphaPex DG1+ mining units and secured a renewable energy-accessible mining site. The company plans to have its initial mining fleet operational within about 60 days, dependent on delivery and installation schedules. Shuttle has also confirmed a purchase order option for up to 3,000 ElphaPex Scrypt mining rigs to support Dogecoin and Litecoin mining operations. These developments indicate a strategic shift and expansion in Shuttle's business operations.
