Through a series of investments over the past year, including an additional investment made in June 2026, Weinstein has built an ownership position of more than 30% as Pluri advances its longevity and U.S. commercialization strategy
HAIFA, Israel, July 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pluri Inc. (Nasdaq, TASE: PLUR), a biotechnology company leveraging a proprietary cell-based platform across multiple commercial verticals, today provided an update on the cumulative investment and ownership position of its Chairman, Mr. Alejandro Weinstein. Over the past year, Mr. Weinstein has invested more than $17 million in Pluri through a series of investments, including a $1.25 million advance investment made in June 2026 pursuant to an Advance Subscription Agreement, as disclosed in the Company's Form 8-K filed on June 22, 2026. Mr. Weinstein currently owns more than 30% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares. His growing commitment comes as Pluri advances its transition from platform development toward commercial execution, with an increasing focus on longevity and planned commercial activity in the United States. Alongside this strategic progress, Pluri is seeing strong inbound interest from multiple U.S. parties exploring potential product purchases and technology collaborations based on the Company's capabilities in reproducible cell production, tailored exosomes and other unique biological components.
Mr. Weinstein is a global investor and entrepreneur with more than two decades of experience across pharmaceuticals, biotechnology and wellness. As previously reported by Pluri, he has participated in more than 20 M&A transactions and over $5 billion in exits, including transforming CFR Pharmaceuticals into a multinational group acquired by Abbott for approximately $2.9 billion. He began building his position in Pluri after identifying its proprietary 3D cell-expansion platform as a differentiated technology with broad potential and became Chairman of the Board in December 2025.
His interest in the company is based on Pluri's ability to translate its scientific and technological capabilities into commercial opportunities. As Chairman, Mr. Weinstein has supported a strategic focus on commercialization, disciplined resource allocation and execution across the Company's platform and business verticals. Pluri is now advancing commercial initiatives in the United States and other markets, reflecting its broader transition from platform development toward commercial operations.
