New Shareholders Meeting Date: Friday, June 21 at 9 a.m. Eastern Time
NEW HAVEN, Conn., June 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Specialty diagnostics company Precipio, Inc. (NASDAQ: PRPO), today announced that the company’s 2024 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (“Annual Meeting”) was convened and adjourned, without any business being conducted, due to lack of the required quorum.
Message from Ilan Danieli, CEO:
During this process, we’ve realized that there are quite a few shareholders who didn’t know whether their shares were voted on or not.
If you are not sure if your shares were voted, you should be able to see that information on your broker portal when you log in. If you can’t find that information, please reach out to your broker and ask them – it’s an easy and quick phone call and they will let you know right away.
If your shares were not voted – PLEASE, MAKE SURE THEY GET VOTED.
You can accomplish this in one of three easy ways that will take no more than 60 seconds:
- Ask the broker to vote for your shares.
- Request your 16-digit control number, and you can vote for the shares yourself by going to www.proxyvote.com.
- Log into your brokerage account and there should be a button to vote the shares.
Regardless of whether you vote for or against the measures presented, what’s important is to vote. As a shareholder, it is in YOUR BEST INTEREST that the company reaches a quorum so that it avoids costly procedures to complete the annual shareholder meeting.
A quorum consists of the presence at the Annual Meeting either online during the live audio webcast or represented by proxy of the holders of a majority of the voting power of our outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. There were fewer than a majority of shares entitled to vote present, either in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting. The Annual Meeting, therefore, had no quorum, and accordingly, the Annual Meeting has been adjourned. The Annual Meeting will resume with respect to all proposals at 9 a.m. Eastern Time on Friday, June 21, 2024, and will continue to be held virtually.
The record date for determining shareholders eligible to vote at the Annual Meeting will remain the close of business on April 19, 2024. Shareholders who have already submitted a proxy do not need to vote again for the reconvened Annual Meeting, as the proxies submitted will remain valid. Shareholders who have already submitted proxies and would like to change their vote with respect to any of the proposals can update their vote in the manner set forth in the Definitive Proxy Statement. Your vote will be recorded at the Annual Meeting in accordance with your most recently submitted proxy.
Precipio’s shareholders as of close of business on the April 19, 2024 record date who have not yet voted are encouraged to vote online at www.proxyvote.com or by telephone at 1-800-690-6903.
Voting on all proposals will be open until the conclusion of Precipio’s 2024 Annual Meeting on Friday, June 21, 2024. Votes Submitted through the Internet or your broker must be submitted by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on June 20, 2024.
Please note: if your shares are held in a brokerage account or by a bank or other holder of record, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of shares held in “street name.” The proxy materials have been forwarded to you by your broker, bank or other nominee who is considered, with respect to those shares, the stockholder of record. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other holder of record on how to vote your shares by following their instructions for voting. Please refer to information from your bank, broker or other nominee on how to submit your voting instructions.
You may also vote at www.proxyvote.com. You will need the 16-digit control number included on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or the proxy card.
A copy of the Definitive Proxy Statement is available to shareholders on the Company’s website and at the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov.
