Mustang Bio Completes Fixed Asset Sale and Exits Worcester Facility

Mustang Bio, Inc. (NASDAQ: MBIO) announced on February 27, 2025, that it has completed a transaction involving the divestiture of certain fixed assets and the exit from its manufacturing facility lease in Worcester, Massachusetts. The company entered into a Bill of Sale and Surrender Agreement with AbbVie Bioresearch Center Inc., under which Mustang Bio sold furniture, fixtures, and equipment located at the leased premises for a total purchase price of $1.0 million.

The Sale/Surrender Agreement, effective January 31, 2025, was executed in conjunction with an Escrow Agreement with Bowditch & Dewey, LLP acting as escrow agent. Following the closing of the transaction on February 21, 2025, the escrow agent released the purchase price to the company on February 25, 2025 after final verification that a sufficient percentage of the fixed assets were present and operational.

In addition to the asset sale, AbbVie agreed to assume a lease on the Premises through a First Amendment to the existing Lease Agreement, marking the end of Mustang Bio’s occupancy at the manufacturing site. The exit is also expected to result in savings of approximately $2.0 million in cash expenses related to the lease over the next 24 months.

As part of its evolving strategic direction, Mustang Bio has relocated its corporate headquarters to 95 Sawyer Road in Waltham, Massachusetts. The company remains focused on advancing its clinical-stage pipeline and is planning to support and initiate a novel clinical trial in the second half of 2025 for MB-109—a combination therapy that pairs IL13Rα2-targeted CAR-T cell therapy (MB-101) with an oncolytic virus (MB-108) for the treatment of recurrent glioblastoma and high-grade astrocytomas.

The details of the transaction, including the Bill of Sale and Surrender Agreement as well as the Lease Amendment, were disclosed in the company’s SEC Form 8-K filing and supporting exhibits.
