BriaCell Adjusts Shareholder Meeting Date for Greater Engagement
BriaCell's Annual General Meeting Update
PHILADELPHIA and VANCOUVER — BriaCell Therapeutics Corp. (NASDAQ: BCTX, BCTXW) (TSX: BCT), a pioneering clinical-stage biotechnology firm dedicated to groundbreaking immunotherapies designed to revolutionize cancer treatment, has announced an important change regarding its upcoming Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. The meeting originally scheduled for a Thursday in January has now been postponed to February 5, at 9:00 a.m. (ET). This decision was made to accommodate delays linked to postal service interruptions and to ensure ample time for securing proxy votes from shareholders.
Understanding the Meeting's Purpose
The meeting, set to occur at Suite 3400, One First Canadian Place in Toronto, will cover vital discussions including the receipt of audited financial statements and auditor's report, election of directors for the approaching year, and the appointment of auditors along with their remuneration. BriaCell’s Board of Directors strongly endorses the proposals outlined in the proxy statement for the gathering.
What Shareholders Need to Know
Shareholders who have already submitted their votes need not take additional steps unless they wish to modify or cancel their previous instructions. Their submissions will still be counted during the postponed meeting. Those who have not voted are encouraged to cast their votes promptly to ensure they can be included in the tally before the meeting date.
