The Share Consolidation may be undertaken as part of Medicenna’s evaluation of available strategic opportunities, including, if appropriate, to support compliance with the listing requirements of a major U.S. stock exchange.If implemented, the Share Consolidation could, among other things, increase the trading price per common share and support compliance with a major U.S. stock exchange’s minimum bid price requirements, if determined to be desired, and potentially enhance the Company’s ability to attract U.S. institutional investors and other investors subject to minimum share-price requirements.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.If and when the Board determines to proceed with the Share Consolidation, the Company will announce the applicable consolidation ratio and effective date, subject to receipt of all required regulatory approvals.To the extent Medicenna pursues a U.S. stock exchange listing for its common shares, the Share Consolidation is not a guarantee that Medicenna will satisfy all major U.S. stock exchange listing requirements or that its common shares will be accepted for listing. Any major U.S. stock exchange listing remains subject to the Company satisfying all applicable listing requirements and receiving approval from the major U.S. stock exchange.A total of 31.82% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company were represented in person and by proxy at the Meeting.Please refer to the Circular available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca for more information on the business transacted at the Meeting.
