Notice of extraordinary general meeting of Cell Impact
The shareholders of Cell Impact AB (Nasdaq First North GM: CI B), reg. no. 556576-6655, are hereby invited to participate in an extraordinary general meeting on Monday 9 August 2021.
Since the board's proposal on authorizing the board of directors to resolve upon issue of shares, warrants and/or convertibles was rejected by the annual general meeting the board has, in consultation with major shareholders, made a revised proposal for authorization of the board of directors to resolve upon issue of shares, warrants and/or convertibles and therefore convenes an extraordinary general meeting on Monday 9 August 2021. The revised proposal is somewhat narrower than the original proposal but still gives the board sufficient flexibility to resolve upon any capital raisings to secure financing of the company's business plan.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the board of directors has decided that the extraordinary general meeting shall be conducted without physical attendance and that shareholders shall have the opportunity to exercise their voting rights only by voting in advance (postal voting) in accordance with the Act (2020:198) on temporary exceptions to facilitate the execution of general meetings in companies and other associations (Sw. Lagen (2020:198) om tillfälliga undantag för att underlätta genomförandet av bolags- och föreningsstämmor).
The company welcomes all shareholders to exercise their voting rights at the general meeting by voting in advance (postal voting) in accordance with the instructions below.
