“Kiora Pharmaceuticals: Shaping the Future with Your Vote – Special Meeting Rescheduled to September 27!”
Encinitas, California – September 1, 2023 – Kiora Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: KPRX), affectionately known as “Kiora,” is in the midst of an important journey, and your voice is crucial to the destination. Here’s the scoop:
On August 31, 2023, Kiora hosted a Special Meeting of Stockholders at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time, all fired up and ready to make impactful decisions. But sometimes, the stars don’t align as expected. The meeting was adjourned, and not a single order of business was conducted. Why? We missed the magic number – the quorum, representing one-third of the voting power of outstanding shares.
So, what’s the plan now? Drumroll, please! We’re reconvening at 8:30 a.m. Pacific Time on Wednesday, September 27, 2023, right at the heart of Kiora, 332 Encinitas Blvd., Suite 102, Encinitas, CA 92024. This gives our valued stockholders more time to cast their votes on the proposals outlined in our definitive proxy statement, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 21, 2023.
During this adjournment, we’re on a mission – to rally your support and secure the necessary votes. We’ve brought in the cavalry, in the form of Alliance Advisors, a seasoned proxy solicitor, to help us cross the finish line.
So far, proxies have been submitted by stockholders representing around 23% of our outstanding common stock. Those who’ve already cast their votes, you’re in! No need to redo it.
But here’s the call to action: To all stockholders of record as of July 18, 2023, who haven’t cast their votes yet – we’re counting on you! September 26, 2023, at 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) is the deadline. We’ve made it easy; just reach out to Alliance Advisors at 200 Broadacres Drive, 3rd Fl., Bloomfield, NJ 07003, Telephone: Toll-Free: 1-888-596-1905 and Outside North America: 1-973-873-7700 or Email: [email protected] if you need assistance or have questions.
Here’s the deal: If we don’t get the quorum we need at the adjourned Special Meeting, we might have to do it all over again. And, well, that comes with additional costs. Let’s make every vote count, and together, we’ll shape Kiora Pharmaceuticals’ future.
