Material Disclosures Obtained Regarding the Shareholder Vote for Advaxis, Inc.
Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC and Monteverde & Associates PC announce that, on March 28, 2022, Advaxis, Inc. issued a Supplemental Proxy Statement that includes additional clarifying information about how to vote regarding Proposal No. 1 (the Reverse Stock Split), which will be voted on at the Special Meeting of Stockholders scheduled for March 31, 2022.
Specifically, the Proxy statement clarifies that, if you prefer that Proposal No. 1 (the Reverse Stock Split) not be approved, you should cast your vote against the proposal. That is because approval of Proposal No. 1 requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting power of Advaxis Common Stock and Preferred Stock entitled to vote on the proposal, voting as a single class, assuming a quorum is present. Since the Preferred Stock has 30,000 votes per share on Proposal No. 1, the failure of a share of Common Stock to be voted will effectively have no impact on the outcome of the vote. However, votes of the shares of Preferred Stock, when cast, are automatically voted in a manner that “mirrors” the proportions on which the shares of Common Stock (excluding any shares of Common Stock that are not voted) are voted on Proposal No. 1. Therefore, shares of Common Stock voted against the proposal will have the effect of causing the proportion of Preferred Stock voted against the proposal to increase accordingly and vice versa.
