What is being separated

Cortigent develops brain-implant medical devices and neurostimulation systems intended to help patients recover critical body functions. Vivani Medical keeps its miniature, ultra-long-acting GLP-1 implants for weight management and type 2 diabetes. Both are small, pre-commercial companies.

Stated rationaleVivani says separating the two programs gives each management team a single focus and lets each company raise capital on its own merits.

The four questions

The four-question write-up for Cortigent, Inc. is pending. Terms, documents and both companies’ numbers above are live; the checklist is added once the information statement has been worked through.

Not investment advice. Terms are as stated in the latest filing; spin-off shares are often thinly covered and volatile in their first months.
