(NASDAQ:BASI) (the “Company”, “We”, “Our” or “Inotiv”), a leading provider of nonclinical and analytical contract research services, today announced a change of the Company’s corporate name from Bioanalytical Systems, Inc. to Inotiv, Inc.

The name change was approved by the Company’s shareholders on March 18, 2021, at the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders and became effective as of the filing of articles of amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, that same day. Effective Monday, March 22, 2021, The Company’s common shares will trade under the ticker symbol “NOTV.” The Company’s common shares have been assigned a new CUSIP number of 45783Q 100. The corporate name change to Inotiv, Inc. does not affect the rights of the Company’s shareholders or the number of outstanding common shares and no action is required by shareholders with respect to the name change, the ticker symbol change or the CUSIP number change.

The corporate name change to Inotiv, Inc. reinforces the Company’s contract research services brand originally launched in November 2019, and represents the coming together of the Company’s legacy contract research services with those acquired in the Seventh Wave Laboratories, Smithers Avanza Toxicology Services, and Pre-Clinical Research Services acquisitions. The unified Company continues to provide top-tier in vivo toxicology, pharmacology, drug metabolism, bioanalysis, pathology, pharmacokinetic, and surgical and medical device discovery and development solutions.

“Since the launch of the Inotiv brand in 2019, we’ve worked hard to execute on our growth strategy by strengthening our capabilities, investing in our service offerings, infrastructure and people, and messaging our ‘Expect More’ philosophy to prospects and clients,” said Company President and Chief Executive Officer Robert Leasure, Jr. “Changing our corporate name was a logical step towards solidifying our brand and clearly communicating what it reflects— a broadly capable, right-sized CRO with a fundamental goal of delivering exceptional client experiences.”

The Company intends to continue to operate its research product manufacturing division under the name BASi Research Products.
