SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- ITUS Corporation (NASDAQ: ITUS), announced today that it has terminated its at-the-market equity program ("ATM Offering") with B. Riley FBR, Inc.  The Company had not sold any shares, and will no longer offer any shares, under this program.

"With over a year's worth of cash based on our current business plan and many exciting opportunities ahead of us, we no longer feel that the ATM Offering is necessary," stated Dr. Amit Kumar, President and Chief Executive Officer of ITUS.  "While the continued development of Cchek™ and commencement of our ovarian cancer CAR-T therapeutic program will require additional resources, we believe that we are in a position to support both programs in the near term and that our longer-term needs will be better addressed through strategic partnerships and other corporate transactions," added Dr. Kumar.
