SARASOTA, Fla. and MIAMI, Oct. 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- INVO Biosciences (Nasdaq: INVO), a company focused on expanding its portfolio of clinical and commercial-stage assets in fertility, oncology, and autoimmune diseases through the merger of INVO Biosciences and NAYA Biosciences, today confirmed it has changed its corporate name to NAYA Biosciences Inc. and will begin trading under the new symbol “NAYA” at the market open on Tuesday, October 22, 2024.

The CUSIP number for the Company's common stock will remain unchanged.

The name and symbol change follows the Company’s recent announcement on October 14^th regarding the completion of its merger with NAYA Biosciences.

In addition, the hub-and-spoke model allows for shared resources and talent to accelerate the development of our lean, agile subsidiaries.”
