HUB Cyber Security Expands Into Women’s Health With Zero-Cash Acquisition of Evofem Notes, Advances Balance Sheet Turnaround

Move Expands HUB’s Footprint Into Women’s Health and Wellness, a Sector With Significant Commercial Revenue Potential, as Company Advances Broader Turnaround Strategy

TEL AVIV, Israel, July 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HUB Cyber Security Ltd. (Nasdaq: HUBC) (“HUB” or the “Company”), today announced that it has acquired certain senior subordinated convertible notes and purchase rights of Evofem Biosciences, Inc. (OTCMKTS: EVFM) (“Evofem”), funded entirely with HUB equity at no cash cost to the Company. The transaction is the latest step in a broader transformation plan to strengthen HUB’s financial position, streamline operations, enhance governance and build long-term shareholder value.

The notes and purchase rights were acquired directly from certain Evofem noteholders in exchange solely for HUB equity securities, consisting of ordinary shares and/or pre-funded warrants. By structuring the deal entirely in equity, HUB preserves its cash position while investing in a strategic business that the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) believes supports its broader repositioning and long-term value-creation efforts.

The Evofem transaction is the latest milestone in a comprehensive restructuring HUB has pursued over the past several months, during which the Board and management team have taken steps to improve liquidity, simplify the Company’s organizational structure, cut operating costs and strengthen corporate governance. HUB also intends to explore opportunities to collaborate with Evofem going forward as part of that broader strategy.

As part of this plan, the Company has substantially reduced operating expenses, eliminating many external consultants and contractors and reducing headcount solely at the HUB level by approximately 50%. The Company has also engaged Deloitte to support its restructuring efforts, operational improvements and financial planning as it works to strengthen its balance sheet. Management believes these actions are creating a leaner, more focused organization positioned to execute on its highest-priority opportunities.

In parallel, the Board continues to explore various strategic alternatives intended to maximize value for shareholders and position HUB for future growth. The Company believes the Evofem transaction reflects a first step in a disciplined approach to pursuing strategic opportunities while preserving liquidity.

Renah Persofsky, Chair of HUB Cyber Security, commented: “HUB is taking bold and necessary steps to reshape the Company for its next chapter. The Evofem transaction demonstrates our ability to pursue strategic opportunities while preserving cash. Evofem reported north of $20 million in sales in 2025. This comes alongside a broader restructuring program aimed at strengthening HUB’s balance sheet and building a leaner, more strategically focused company. Together, these actions reflect a clear commitment by the Board and management team to position HUB for renewed momentum and long-term value creation.”

Ms. Persofsky continued: “While the Company has faced a challenging period, we believe the actions now underway will place HUB on a stronger and more sustainable path. We are concentrating our resources, attention and capital allocation around initiatives that we believe can deliver value for customers, employees and shareholders.”
