BriaPro” or the
“
Company”), a pre-clinical stage immunotherapy
company developing binding agents and proteins with the intention
to boost the ability of the body’s own cancer-fighting cells to
destroy cancerous tumors, announces that the Company will be
relying on, and has satisfied all of the conditions to rely on, CSA
Coordinated Blanket Order 51-931 for exemption from the
requirements to send proxy-related materials (the “
Meeting
Materials”) for its upcoming annual general meeting (the
“
Meeting”) to be held on Thursday, January 23,
2025, at Suite 3400, One First Canadian Place, Toronto, ON, M5X
1A4. at 10:30 a.m. (EST) due to the suspension of mail service in
Canada from the nationwide strike of the Canadian Union of Postal
Workers that commenced on November 15, 2024. The Meeting Materials
have been posted under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at
www.sedarplus.ca (“
SEDAR+”) and on the
Company’s website at https://investors.briacell.com/briapro.
The Meeting will address the following: receipt
of audited financial statements and auditor’s report, election of
directors for the coming year, and appointment of the auditor and
setting their remuneration.
The Canada Industrial Relations Board has
ordered a return to work but delays are expected due to the
substantial backlog to be processed and delivered. The Company will
send the materials by regular mail; however, there is no assurance
that the meeting materials will be received by the shareholders
prior to the meeting. Shareholders of the Company are encouraged to
access the meeting materials directly through the above-mentioned
websites. Shareholders are urged to vote before the proxy deadline
of 10:30 a.m. (EST) on Tuesday, January 21, 2025.
