BOULDER, Colo., Jan. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Fresh Tracks Therapeutics, Inc. (OTC Pink: FRTX) ("Fresh Tracks" or "the Company") announced today that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware ("the Court") has granted the consent judgment agreed to by the Company in the case of David R. McAvoy versus Fresh Tracks, as a result of which the Court has appointed Albert N. Marchio II, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Fresh Tracks, as the custodian of Fresh Tracks pursuant to 8 Del. C. § 226 with a directive to dissolve the Company and wind up its affairs. Fresh Tracks currently anticipates it will complete the dissolution and make a distribution of between $0.95 and $0.98 per share to stockholders during the first quarter of 2025.

Subsequent to that, Mr. McAvoy and the Company stipulated to a consent judgment whereby Mr. Marchio would be appointed custodian of Fresh Tracks. On December 6, 2024, the Company announced that the Court had set an objection deadline and hearing date of January 3, 2025, and January 17, 2025, respectively. No stockholders objected to the consent judgment on or after January 3, 2025, and on January 15, 2025, the Court granted the proposed consent judgment and appointed Mr. Marchio as the custodian of Fresh Tracks.
