Relief Therapeutics Holding SA to Hold Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders

Proposes a reverse stock split of its ordinary shares in preparation for planned listing to the Nasdaq Stock Market

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND / ACCESSWIRE / April 4, 2023 / RELIEF THERAPEUTICS Holding SA (SIX:RLF)(OTCQB:RLFTF)(OTCQB:RLFTY) ("Relief Therapeutics" or the "Company"), a biopharmaceutical company developing and commercializing novel, patent-protected products in select specialty and rare diseases, announced today it has called an extraordinary general meeting ("EGM") of shareholders to be held at 10:00 a.m. CEST on Friday, April 28, 2023 in Geneva.

Relief Therapeutics Holdings AG, Tuesday, April 4, 2023, Press release picture

The purpose of the EGM is to ask shareholders to consider and vote on the consolidation (or reverse split) of the Company's ordinary shares at the ratio of 400 to 1, in furtherance of a potential listing of the Company's shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market. This action represents a technical adjustment and has no impact on the value of the share portfolio held by shareholders, nor on the market capitalization of Relief Therapeutics. The current listing on SIX Swiss Exchange will not be affected by the dual listing.

"Implementing a consolidation of our shares will enable Relief to meet the minimum price criteria needed in order to list on the Nasdaq," said Jack Weinstein, chief executive officer at Relief Therapeutics. "Listing on a stock exchange in the U.S. will provide greater liquidity and broader access to the capital needed to expedite the development of our pipeline, obtain clinical validation of our potential therapies and further execute our business development strategy."

In the reverse split, shares will be rounded down to the next lower whole number of new merged registered shares upon exchange by applying the ratio. The resulting fractions will be compensated in cash at a fixed price corresponding to the three-day volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of the Relief Therapeutics share prior to the reverse split. The percentage interest in the Company's equity for the shareholder will remain unchanged (other than because of the payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares).

Examples of rounding down method and cash compensation of fractions:

  • 399 current shares ➝ 0 new shares + compensation for 399 current shares in cash
  • 400 current shares ➝ 1 new share
  • 401 current shares ➝ 1 new share + compensation for 1 current share in cash

In anticipation of the approval of the proposed reverse split by shareholders at the EGM, all current and possible future shareholders of Relief Therapeutics, in particular those shareholders with fewer than 400 current shares who wish to remain shareholders of the Company after the reverse split, are advised to adjust their shareholdings in accordance with the reverse split ratio in advance.

The full details of the proposal and proposed revised Articles of Association are enclosed in the EGM invitation available here . Additional information is provided in a Q&A list available on the same page of the Relief Therapeutics website.

Guidelines on how to attend the meeting or to deliver voting instructions are set out in the personal invitations mailed to all registered shareholders on April 6, 2023.

Only the reverse stock split, including required consequential amendments, with respect to share capital related provisions, will be proposed for a shareholder vote at the EGM. No other items will be considered. Any other changes to Relief Therapeutics' Articles of Association that are required due to the change in Swiss corporate law that went into effect on Jan. 1, 2023, and must be implemented by the end of 2024, will not be the subject of the EGM. Relief Therapeutics expects to submit these changes to its shareholders at the next Annual General Meeting.
