IRVINE, Calif., July 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ® (Nasdaq: RSLS), the premier physician-led weight loss and metabolic health solutions company, today announced it will host a Special Meeting of Stockholders of ReShape Lifesciences Inc. to be held at 11:30 am ET on July 24, 2025.

After a thorough strategic review, the ReShape Board of Directors unanimously determined that a merger with Vyome Therapeutics, Inc. (Vyome), a private clinical-stage company targeting immuno-inflammatory and rare diseases, and a simultaneous sale of ReShape’s assets to Ninjour Health International Limited, an affiliate of Biorad Medisys, Pvt. Ltd. (together, Biorad), are advisable and in the best interests of ReShape and its stockholders. Additionally, the independent proxy advisory firms ISS and Glass Lewis both recently issued recommendations in favor of Proposals 1, 2 and 3.

Addressing the Company’s shareholders, Paul F. Hickey, President and Chief Executive Officer of ReShape Lifesciences, noted, “Your vote is important, no matter how many or how few shares you may own, for ReShape to take the next step in its evolution as the merger agreement with Vyome and a concurrent asset purchase agreement with Biorad, will successfully maximize value for our stockholders.” We are asking that you vote FOR each of the proposals on the agenda, including Proposals 1, 2, and 3 related to (1) the issuance of shares of our common stock, (2) the approval of the sale of substantially all of ReShape’s assets, and (3) amending our certificate of incorporation to implement the post-closing composition of our Board of Directors, each in connection with our transaction with Vyome. Additionally, we are grateful to our Series C preferred stockholders for substantially reducing their liquidation preference, enabling our common stockholders to better realize the potential value of the merger. I am truly excited about the value we are delivering to all of our stockholders and the significant growth potential these transactions will enable, once approved by our shareholders.”

“We believe this transaction will allow us to unlock the full potential of Vyome’s pipeline by focusing on advancing the development of the combined company’s immune-inflammatory assets and identifying additional opportunities between the world-class Indian innovation corridor and the U.S. market,” stated Venkat Nelabhotla, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Vyome. "Vyome aims to build a world-class company by combining top talent and capital from the U.S. and India to develop cost-efficient therapies for chronic immune-inflammatory diseases. We also plan to expand our portfolio across biopharma, medical devices, and healthcare AI. With no debt and a clean capital structure, we believe Vyome is well-positioned for public market success.”

To successfully execute ReShape’s transformation, it is imperative that stockholders vote in favor of each proxy proposal on the agenda. The proposals - including Proposals 1, 2, and 3 – would approve:

1. The issuance of shares of ReShape common stock in connection with the transaction.

2. The sale of substantially all of ReShape’s assets to Biorad.

3. Certain amendments to ReShape’s certificate of incorporation to facilitate the proposed post-closing board composition of the company.
