- Bioethics Ltd. (BOTH) is a shell company that conducts no active business operations and focuses on seeking merger, acquisition, or business combination opportunities. Founded in 1990 and headquartered in Ogden, UT, the company currently generates no revenue and employs one person while traded on the OTC market. In September 2024, Bioethics entered into an agreement and plan of merger with SILQ Technologies Corporation via a reverse triangular merger, under which a newly formed subsidiary of Bioethics merges with SILQ, with SILQ surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary; all outstanding SILQ shares convert into Bioethics common and preferred stock, post-merger SILQ stockholders to own approximately 89% of Bioethics on a fully diluted basis, alongside a planned 1-for-2 reverse stock split and a targeted $5.5 million private placement to fund operations and debt reduction, though the transaction remains subject to SILQ shareholder approval, capital raise completion within 90 days, and other closing conditions with no assurances of consummation. Upon closing, Bioethics intends to leverage SILQ's patented chemical coating technology, spun out of UCLA in 2017, which deposits permanent surface treatments on plastics and elastomers to provide bacterial resistance, reduced inflammation, anti-clotting properties, biofouling reduction, and enhanced lubricity for medical devices, industrial, and commercial applications; SILQ's initial FDA-cleared product is the ClearTract Foley Catheter, supported by an Innovative Technology contract from Vizient, Inc. for access to over 5,000 U.S. hospitals, with plans for additional medical devices and turnkey coating services targeting implantable device makers, water purification, beverage processing, and pharmaceutical production. The company's board includes recent addition Douglas Morris as director since April 2024.
