Protalix Biotherapeutics Inc. Announces Adjournment of Annual Meeting
Protalix Biotherapeutics has announced that the April 15th, 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders has been adjourned until May 13, 2018 to allow additional time for stockholders to submit their proxies in connection with the meeting.
Given the importance of the proposals on the agenda of the meeting, we want to ensure that all stockholders have sufficient time to have their vote represented. This adjournment will allow additional time for stockholders to vote on these proposals. The annual meeting is scheduled to reconvene on Sunday, May 13, 2018 at 1:00 pm IST at the office of our Israeli counsel, Horn & Co., Law Offices.
Our Annual Meeting of Stockholders is your opportunity to participate in the decision-making process of our company. In particular, your support of proposal 4 will permit our Board of Directors to increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock from 250 million to 350 million. The increase will provide our management the flexibility needed to raise the capital required to expand our pioneering work in biotherapeutics.
We urge our stockholders who have not yet executed their proxy to please do so. This will help save us further solicitation costs and ensure that your important vote is represented.
Please vote your shares of stock now so that your vote can be counted without delay. Voting is easy. You may use one of the options below to ensure that your vote is promptly recorded in time for the Annual Meeting:
