Vyant Bio Announces Stockholder Approval of Proposed Asset Sale; 64,110 Votes Needed to Approve Plan of Dissolution; and Adjournment of Special Meeting of Stockholders
19 Octobre 2023 - 5:45PM
Vyant Bio, Inc. (“Vyant Bio” or “Company”) (OTC: VYNT) announced
that its special meeting of stockholders on October 19, 2023 (the
“Special Meeting”) was reconvened resulting in the approval of the
sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.
At the Special Meeting, Vyant Bio’s
stockholders, upon the unanimous recommendation of Vyant Bio’s
board of directors, voted in favor of the proposal to approve the
sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (the
“Sale”) pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated July 13,
2023. Vyant anticipates that the Sale will be consummated within
the next week.
The Special Meeting was then adjourned without
voting on the proposal to approve the voluntary liquidation and
dissolution of the Company, pursuant to a Plan of Liquidation and
Dissolution, to provide stockholders additional time within which
to vote on this proposal (the “Liquidation Proposal”) as described
in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on August 16, 2023 (the “Proxy
Statement”). The Company’s board of directors believes approval of
the Liquidation Proposal is advisable and in the best interests of
the Company and our stockholders for the reasons described in our
Proxy Statement. We believe there is significant support for the
Liquidation Proposal as it has received approximately 93.5%
affirmative votes and requires an additional 64,110 votes required
to pass, with approximately 52.4% of the Company’s shares having
cast votes. The Company plans to continue to seek approval of this
proposal with continued investor outreach.
The adjourned Special Meeting will reconvene on
November 1, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time at
https://www.viewproxy.com/vynt/2023. The record date of August 4,
2023 for the adjourned Special Meeting remains the same.
Stockholders of record may attend the virtual webcast meeting by
logging in through the same method.
Stockholders who have already voted their shares
on the Liquidation Proposal contained in the Proxy Statement do not
need to vote again. Proxies previously submitted will be voted at
the adjourned Special Meeting, and stockholders who have previously
submitted a proxy or otherwise voted need not take any action.
Vyant Bio encourages all stockholders, as of the
record date on August 4, 2023, who have not yet voted to do so
promptly to reduce future costs to facilitate the proxy voting
process and operating the Company.
Stockholders may use the Proxy Card that they
were originally provided with or vote in the manner as set forth in
the Proxy Statement. Stockholders who have questions or require any
assistance in voting their shares may contact Alliance Advisors LLC
by calling 866-407-1665 or sending an email to
