PRINCETON, N.J., April 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Agile Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGRX), a women's healthcare company, today announced the receipt of $4.7 million in net proceeds from the sale of tax benefits pursuant to the Company’s participation in the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (NJEDA) Net Operating Loss (NOL) program under the New Jersey Economic Recovery Act of 2020.

“We are pleased to receive these non-dilutive funds from the New Jersey NOL program,” said Dennis Reilly, Agile Therapeutics Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “The funding will be beneficial to us as we continue to execute on our business plan in 2022. I am most thankful to the New Jersey State leadership and NJEDA for supporting NJ biotechnology companies.”

The NOL program enables qualified, NJ-based technology or biotechnology companies to sell net operating losses to unrelated profitable corporations. This allows qualifying technology and biotechnology companies with NOLs to turn their tax losses and credits into cash proceeds to fund growth and operations, including research and development or other allowable expenditures.
