Allarity Encourages Shareholders to Vote FOR the Reverse Stock Split and Decrease in Authorized Shares
July 24 2024 - 6:00AM
Boston (July 24, 2024)—Allarity
Therapeutics, Inc. (“Allarity” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ALLR), a
Phase 2 clinical-stage pharmaceutical company dedicated to
developing personalized cancer treatments, encourages its
stockholders to participate actively in the upcoming annual meeting
of stockholders scheduled on July 26, 2024.
The Company’s Board of Directors has put a proposal before
stockholders for a reverse stock split. Allarity has requested
approval of the reverse stock split to regain and sustain
compliance with Nasdaq requirements. The reverse stock split is
essential to enabling compliance with this objective. If the
reverse stock split is not approved by the Company’s stockholders,
the Company’s common stock may be delisted from Nasdaq. Put simply,
a Nasdaq delisting could complicate stockholder’s ability to trade
the Company’s common stock, impact its stock price and affect
stockholder’s ability to buy or sell when desired.
Therefore, the Board of Directors emphasizes the importance of
this stockholders’ vote, specifically urging for a positive vote
FOR the reverse stock split as well as FOR the decrease in
authorized shares. If you have previously cast your vote against
these proposals, we strongly recommend reconsidering your position
and voting in favor of these proposals.
Allarity’s management team is committed to developing
personalized cancer treatments. The Board of Directors believes
that the reverse stock split and decrease in authorized shares are
instrumental for several reasons, including:
- Maintenance with Nasdaq Listing Status: If the
reverse stock split proposal is not approved by the Company’s
stockholders, the Company’s common stock may be delisted from
Nasdaq. Maintaining a Nasdaq listing is crucial for investor
confidence, potential investment inflows, and to maintain liquidity
in the Company’s common stock; and
- Decrease Authorized Shares to Eliminate Certain
Negative Effects: Future issuances of common stock or
securities convertible into common stock could have a negative
impact on our earnings per share and book value per share and would
dilute the voting power and ownership of our existing stockholders.
Having a larger number of authorized shares results in higher
Delaware franchise tax obligations.
Failure to secure approval for the reverse stock split may
hinder management’s ability to execute its strategy, to the
potential detriment of stockholders. Additionally, it may impede
business development initiatives dependent on the issuance of
common stock.
It is essential to understand that a reverse stock split
consolidates existing shares, preserving the Company’s overall
value and each shareholder’s respective ownership percentage.
