As consideration for the acquisition, the Company agreed to issue to the shareholders of the company (i) 403,128 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock") as an upfront payment (the "Upfront Shares") and (ii) up to an aggregate of $89,000,000 in potential additional payments upon the achievement of certain development, clinical and commercial milestones, which milestone payments may be made in cash or in shares of Common Stock (the "Milestone Shares") in the Company's sole discretion.

Investor Kevin O&#8217;Leary, who just finished taping &#8220;a big chunk&#8221; of Season 17 of &#8220;Shark Tank,&#8221; says it&#8217;s shaping up to be one of the most exciting yet.&nbsp;
It&#8217;s also the first without longtime shark Mark Cuban, who has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/05/45472538/mark-cuban-bids-farewell-to-shark-tank-how-to-watch-finale-and-whats-next-for-hit-show">announced</a> he would be leaving the show after Season 16. His absence marks a major shift, but the energy on set remains high, according to O&#8217;Leary.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Big Companies, Bigger Problems</h2>
&#8220;The market for venture capital has dried up,&#8221; O&#8217;Leary said in a recent <a href="https://x.com/kevinolearytv/status/1938382234798715257">post on X</a>. &#8220;It reminds me of 2008, 2009.&#8221;

</ul>
According to O&#8217;Leary, even large companies with solid sales are now turning to &#8220;Shark Tank&#8221; to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/06/46034399/startup-investing-used-to-be-for-millionaires-not-anymore">raise money</a> and get global exposure. &#8220;They just can&#8217;t raise money and so they&#8217;re coming to the &#8216;Shark Tank&#8217; for two things: to get that global exposure, it&#8217;s in 154 countries, and of course to seek capital,&#8221; he said.
O&#8217;Leary added that the show has been attracting a wider range of businesses, including those already generating serious revenue. &#8220;Every year seems to be the same. The deals get bigger and the companies get larger.&#8221;
He said this season is packed with innovation, including healthy food alternatives, tech, and even artificial intelligence. &#8220;I keep saying this every year: this is the best year ever,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The number of innovation, companies, like just huge. Really interesting.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">His Advice for Entrepreneurs? Just Start</h2>
In another recent <a href="https://x.com/kevinolearytv/status/1938345869071298659">post</a>, O&#8217;Leary addressed the uncertainty of today's economy, especially with crypto booming, interest rates fluctuating, and geopolitical risks piling up. His advice to new entrepreneurs is simple: just start.
&#8220;More than half the time [successful companies are founded] in times of extreme stress or volatility,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It really doesn&#8217;t have a good or bad time to start — it&#8217;s just start is what you have to do.&#8221;
He also pointed out that failure is a constant part of entrepreneurship. &#8220;The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45772125/90-of-startups-fail-heres-whats-going-wrong">majority of the startups fail</a> anyways, and they always have since the 1950s when they&#8217;ve been tracking venture capital,&#8221; he noted.

Still, he said, the journey often pays off. &#8220;The nature of the journey is exactly that — it&#8217;s never a destination. It&#8217;s a journey,&#8221; O&#8217;Leary said.
For many entrepreneurs, he added, the payoff comes later in the form of a buyout, going public, or getting acquired. &#8220;And then they just get back on the road and continue the journey.&#8221;

Despite a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/economic-data/25/07/46244105/june-jobs-report-nonfarm-payroll-adp-data">better-than-expected jobs report</a> sending the major indices higher, multinational food company Kraft Heinz Co (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KHC#NASDAQ">KHC</a>) conspicuously lost a relatively sizable portion of its market value during Thursday afternoon trading. While nonfarm payrolls increasing by 147,000 in June represented the strongest reading so far in 2025, it wasn't enough to convince investors to buy KHC stock. Still, that just might change for the better.
Undoubtedly, the Trump administration has sparked massive changes across the board. However, the food industry in particular has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/05/45560572/rfk-jr-s-make-america-healthy-again-report-stirs-gop-farmers-over-glyphosate-concerns-ahead-of-release">under the spotlight</a> thanks to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. With his "Make America Healthy Again" initiative, Kennedy aimed the spotlight on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44209953/rfk-jr-takes-on-food-giants-calls-meeting-with-pepsico-and-general-mills">processed food concerns</a>.
To be sure, Kraft Heinz faces other challenges besides the political headwind. Nevertheless, the impact to KHC stock cannot be ignored. Since the 2024 presidential election, KHC has dropped around 20%, reflecting investor concerns about how the underlying company can adapt to the new public health framework.
Investors will receive greater clarity on July 30, when the food producer is scheduled to release its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/KHC/earnings">earnings</a> results for the second quarter. In the meantime, there's reason for optimism despite the ugly erosion of KHC stock.
Last month, Kraft Heinz announced that it would <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/large-cap/25/06/45980305/kraft-heinz-bans-artificial-colors-in-us-products-eyes-full-phaseout-by-2027">not launch any new products</a> in the U.S. that incorporate chemical dyes listed under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic (FD&amp;C) Act. The company will also remove remaining FD&amp;C colors from its U.S. product portfolio before the end of 2027. Per The New York Times, the move came two months after Kennedy moved to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/17/business/kraft-heinz-chemical-food-dyes.html">ban</a> artificial food dyes.
However, nearly 90% of Kraft Heinz's U.S. product lineup was already free of FD&amp;C colors. Not only that, the company has been making efforts to remove artificial colors since 2016, in response to shifting consumer preferences.
It's possible, then, that the market has been overreacting to some of the pessimistic press that the food industry has been receiving.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Playing The Numbers Game With KHC Stock</h2>
As intriguing as a fundamental narrative may be, the approach lacks specificity — the very quality that options traders need. When it comes to trading in the derivatives market, a thesis can't just be accurate regarding the magnitude component (y-axis); it must also meet the profitability threshold within the given time period (x-axis).
To better guide the decision-making process, traders need to apply statistical analysis. Here, the temptation is to merely take the frequency of the desired outcome divided by the total number of events in the dataset. But this approach only calculates the derivative probability or outcome odds across the dataset's entire distribution. What traders really need is the conditional probability — outcome odds across a specific subset of the data.
To use a baseball analogy, derivative probabilities are akin to a player's career batting average. They provide a baseline expectation. Conditional probabilities represent situational batting averages, such as how a player stacks up against specific pitchers. It's entirely possible that an otherwise mediocre player just has an ability to wreak havoc on certain opponents.
Still, to quantify whether an advantage exists for a particular situation, the underlying metric must be the same. For example, one can't compare baseball stats with those of cricket. To that end, the conversion of price action into market breadth — or sequences of accumulative and distributive sessions — pancakes continuous scalar signals into distinct, discrete events.
Using this framework, the price action of KHC stock in the trailing two months can be denoted as a "3-7-D" sequence: three up weeks, seven down weeks, with a negative trajectory across the 10-week period. Admittedly, this conversion process compresses KHC's magnitude dynamism into a simple binary code. But the benefit is that market behaviors can be segregated into distinct demand profiles. Further, these profiles can be studied for their transitional likelihood, opening the door to conditional probabilistic analysis.

Since January 2019, the 3-7-D sequence has flashed 35 times. In 62.86% of cases, the price action for the following week (which corresponds with the business week beginning July 7) results in upside, with a median return of 1.84%.
Assuming that KHC stock ends this holiday-shortened week around $26.70, the security should be able to pop its head above the $27 level relatively quickly. If the bulls maintain control of the market for two weeks, past analogs imply a push toward $27.50.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Taking A Swing At Kraft Heinz Options</h2>
For those seeking a quick hit, the 26.50/27.50 bull call spread expiring July 18 presents a risky but enticing idea. This transaction involves buying the $26.50 call and simultaneously selling the $27.50 call, for a net debit paid of $45, the most that can be lost in this trade. Should KHC stock rise through the short strike price ($27.50) at expiration, the maximum reward is $55, a payout of over 122%.
Another approach is to consider the 27/28 bull spread expiring Aug. 1. This trade requires a net debit of $46 with a maximum reward of $54, a payout of over 117%. While there's greater time for this bullish thesis to pan out, the spread is highly dependent on the second-quarter earnings results (assuming a hold to expiration).
Either way, the bullish strategy is compelling because of the implied shift in sentiment regime of the 3-7-D sequence. As a baseline, the chance that KHC stock will rise on any given week is only 49.71%. In recent years, KHC hasn't been a great trade for the bulls. However, circumstances appear to be statistically different at this moment, thus incentivizing a speculative posture.

Options Corner: Why Kraft Heinz Could Flip The Script On The Bears

Wall Street loves a good comeback tale, and June&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">ETF flows</a> provided just that. With $102.7 billion in net inflows, according to FactSet data, the U.S. ETF business rebounded from its April slowdown, posting a 17% increase over May and taking total assets under management to $11.5 trillion. But the real tale? A few ETFs and issuers have left everyone else in the dust, flashing neon signs that investors are wagering on high-beta (highly volatile) funds.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">High-Conviction Inflows</h2>
Rafferty Asset Management booked a stunning $256.6 million in June inflows, a 730% recovery from May&#8217;s painful outflow of more than $40 million. Close behind was Tuttle Capital, taking in $68.7 million, another flip after a drubbing in May. Toroso Investments generated $7.8 million in new inflows, a small but significant amount.
What&#8217;s driving it? A league of single-stock and leveraged ETFs that are high-risk, high-reward, and extremely popular today.
Eight issuers launched 23 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/new-etfs/25/07/46203728/quantum-ai-nuclear-three-frontiers-one-launchpad-powered-by-defiance-etfs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">new single-stock ETFs in June</a> — a notable increase. They are not for the weak of heart: 75% are geared (leveraged/inverse) and target tactical, high-conviction trades. Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), Palantir (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) and MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) continue to be investor favorites, receiving the most issuer attention.

Altogether, these six ETFs collectively brought in more than $391 million in June, predominantly from leveraged bets on the large-cap tech giants.
Looking at year-to-date inflows, FactSet revealed:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>TSL (Tesla 2X) tops YTD flows with $310.8 million.</li>
<li>MSTY (MicroStrategy option income) takes second with $198 million.</li>
<li>PTIR (Palantir 2X) is not far behind at $98.6 million.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sector Signals: Where The Money Is Heading</h2>
June&#8217;s sector flows told a distinct story: investors are gravitating back into Tech, Consumer Discretionary, and Communication Services— all areas connected to AI, platforms, and online consumption. 
Financials, Energy, and Health Care experienced ongoing outflows, meanwhile. This was evident from the $707 million inflows recorded in SPDR Select Sector Fund &#8211; Technology (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>), $459 million in Materials Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLB#NYSE">XLB</a>) and $601 million in the Communication Services Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLC#NYSE">XLC</a>). 
Conversely, $1.5 billion flowed out of SPDR Select Sector Fund &#8211; Financial (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>), $303 million from SPDR Select Sector Fund &#8211; Energy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLE#NYSE">XLE</a>) and $661 million from SPDR Select Sector Fund &#8211; Health Care (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLV#NYSE">XLV</a>).
And while fixed income flows fell 16% to $32 billion, equity flows rose 29% to $57 billion, showing that investors aren&#8217;t quite risk-averse, but are merely growing more discerning.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Watch The Leaders, Read The Signals</h2>
Although June&#8217;s overall inflows were robust, it&#8217;s the degree to which investor money has flowed into a handful of high-beta ETFs that&#8217;s most illustrative. It is a sign of unprecedented conviction, not merely in big tech and AI, but in tactical, aggressive investing. Whether the giants of this rally can sustain their dominance will be determined by macro tailwinds and how long this momentum mojo can last.
For the time being, the message from ETF land is unmistakable: risk is back on, primarily for those fearless enough to ride it 2X.

Analysts attend company conference calls and meetings, research company financial statements, and communicate with insiders to publish their ratings on stocks. Analysts typically rate each stock once per quarter or whenever the company has a major update.
Some analysts publish their predictions for metrics such as growth estimates, earnings, and revenue to provide additional guidance with their ratings. When using analyst ratings, it is important to keep in mind that stock and sector analysts are also human and are only offering their opinions to investors.
