DanCann Pharma A/S: Calls for an Extraordinary General Meeting regarding New Authorizations and Reduction of Share Capital in Preparation for Reverse Stock Split
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, 24 September 2024 - DanCann Pharma A/S (SS: DANCAN) ("DanCann Pharma" or the "Company"), a Danish company powered by cannabinoids, announces further details regarding the notice of an extraordinary general meeting ("EGM") and the matters to be discussed.
DanCann Pharma has called for an EGM to be held on Monday, 7 October 2024 at 09:00 am (CET), based on the recommendation of the Board of Directors. At the EGM, it will be proposed to reduce the Company’s nominal share capital by transferring the amount to a special reserve fund. The capital reduction is completed by way of a proportionate reduction of the nominal value of each share of the Company from nominally DKK 0.01 to nominally DKK 0.001.
This reduction, and especially the proposal to reduce the Company’s nominal share capital by transferring the amount to a special reserve fund, is intended to facilitate the previously announced reverse stock split, aimed at stabilizing the trading of the Company’s shares.
Specifically, it is proposed to reduce the Company’s share capital by DKK 13,869,911.106, from DKK 15,411,012.34 to DKK 1,541,101.234, by transferring the amount to a special reserve fund (in Danish: henlæggelse til særlig reserve), in accordance with section 188(1)(3) of the Danish Companies Act. The total number of outstanding shares is unaffected by the capital reduction, and each shareholder’s holding of shares is unchanged.
Additionally, the Board will propose that the Board is given new authorizations (to issue shares and warrants) to align certain prior authorizations following the most recent rights issue. Adoption of these proposals will allow for future targeted share issuances, with a focus on strengthening the Company’s capital base or for potential acquisitions.
The full agenda for the EGM is available in the official notice of the EGM published in a separate press release and on the Company’s website.
