Protalix Biotherapeutics has announced that the April 15 th , 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders has been adjourned until May 13, 2018 to allow additional time for stockholders to submit their proxies in connection with the meeting.

 

Given the importance of the proposals on the agenda of the meeting, we want to ensure that all stockholders have sufficient time to have their vote represented. This adjournment will allow additional time for stockholders to vote on these proposals. The annual meeting is scheduled to reconvene on Sunday, May 13, 2018 at 1:00 pm IST at the office of our Israeli counsel, Horn & Co., Law Offices.
