SAN DIEGO, Aug. 25, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Adamis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (NASDAQ: ADMP) today provided additional information concerning the proposals to be considered at its adjourned 2020 annual meeting of stockholders, which will resume on September 3, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time. The proposals, described as Proposals 2 and 3 in the company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 11, 2020, as supplemented by any supplements or amendments thereto, are (i) to approve an amendment to the company’s restated certificate of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock (the “increase in authorized shares proposal”), and (ii) to approve an amendment to the company’s restated certificate of incorporation to implement a reverse stock split of the outstanding common stock, if the board of directors in its discretion determines to implement a reverse stock split before December 31, 2020 (the “reverse split proposal”).
While management continues to recommend that shareholders approve both Proposals 2 and 3, the company intends to take the actions described below under the following scenarios:If both Proposal 2 and 3 are approved – the company will amend its restated certificate of incorporation to authorize an additional 100 million shares of common stock, as described in Proposal 2 but does not intend to also implement a reverse stock split as described in Proposal 3.
If Proposal 2 is approved and Proposal 3 is not approved – the company will amend its restated certificate of incorporation to authorize an additional 100 million shares of common stock, as described in Proposal 2 and will not implement a reverse stock split as described in Proposal 3.
If Proposal 3 is approved and Proposal 2 is not approved – as described in the company’s proxy statement, pursuant to its February 2020 securities purchase agreement with certain investors (the “February agreement”), the company will implement a reverse stock split promptly after the meeting and will determine the ratio of the reverse stock split as described in the proxy statement.
If neither Proposal 2 or 3 is approved – as described in the proxy statement, under the February agreement the company agreed to call additional meetings of stockholders each four months after the initial meeting at which the proposals were considered, to seek stockholder approval of at least one of the proposals until the date that stockholder approval is obtained.
