Antibe Therapeutics Inc (TSX: ATE, OTCQB: ATBPF), a clinical stage company leveraging its unique hydrogen sulfide platform to develop safer medicines for pain and inflammation, today announced that it intends to complete a consolidation of its issued and outstanding common shares (“Common Shares”) on the basis of one (1) new Common Share for every ten (10) Common Shares presently issued and outstanding (“Consolidation”). Completion of the Consolidation remains subject to the approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and is expected take effect on or about December 1, 2020.

At the Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders held on August 20, 2020, Antibe’s shareholders re-approved a special resolution authorizing the Board of Directors of the Company to effect the Consolidation to better prepare it for a possible future listing on the NASDAQ or other senior US stock exchange. The Company believes the Consolidation and such a listing would enable Antibe to further broaden its investor base and increase liquidity.

Upon receipt of TSX approval of the Consolidation, Antibe will provide additional details regarding a new CUSIP number for its Common Shares to distinguish between the pre- and post-consolidated Common Shares. The Company’s name and trading symbol will remain unchanged. If, as a result of the Consolidation, a shareholder becomes entitled to a fractional share, each fractional Common Share that is at least 0.5 of a Common Share will be rounded up to the nearest whole Common Share and each fractional Common Share that is less than 0.5 of a Common Share will be rounded down to the nearest whole Common Share, provided that each shareholder shall receive at least one (1) Common Share post Consolidation. Following the completion of the Consolidation, the Company will have approximately 38,678,280 Common Shares issued and outstanding.

Warrants issued by Antibe will also be adjusted proportionately in response to the Consolidation. On the effective date of the Consolidation, the exercise of ten (10) Warrants will be required to purchase one (1) post-Consolidation Common Share. The exercise price of the Warrants will be adjusted as of the effective date of the Consolidation as set out in the warrant indentures governing the terms of the Warrants.

Antibe’s transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services (“Computershare”), will act as the exchange agent for the Consolidation. On the effective date of the Consolidation, Computershare will send instructions (i.e. a Letter of Transmittal) to shareholders who hold the Company’s stock certificates regarding the exchange of old certificates for new certificates, should they wish to do so. Until surrendered, each stock certificate representing pre-Consolidation Common Shares will be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of whole post-Consolidation Common Shares to which the shareholder is entitled as a result of the Consolidation.

Shareholders who hold their Common Shares in brokerage accounts or “street name” are not required to take any action to effect the exchange of their Common Shares.
