Item 7.01.

Regulation FD Disclosure.

On October 7, 2022, Sarissa Capital Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) issued a press release and announced that it will redeem all of its outstanding Class A ordinary shares, as the Company will not be able to consummate an initial business combination within the time period required by its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Memorandum and Articles of Association”).

There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless. The Company’s initial shareholders waived their redemption rights with respect to the outstanding Class B ordinary shares issued prior to the Company’s initial public offering. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

The information in this Item 7.01 and Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
