Following the discontinuation of the development of cobitolimod and the announcement that the Company will not continue the development of any of its other compounds, various options for the Company's future have, as previously communicated, been evaluated in order to maximize shareholder value. The evaluation, which was conducted with support from an external financial advisor, resulted in continuation of the reversed merger and in taking further steps to ensure that such a transaction is achievable.

In order to implement the planned reverse merger as soon as practically possible, the Board of Directors of InDex Pharmaceuticals convenes, through a separate press release, an Extraordinary General Meeting to be held on June 10, 2024 to resolve the amendments to the Article of Association that are required for the intended Transaction. Provided that the parties are in agreement, they will formally sign the intended Transaction no later than May 20, 2024.

As stated in the notice, the Board of Directors proposes that the Extraordinary General Meeting resolves to adopt new Articles of Association including mainly the following amendments: (i) new company name and objects of the company, (ii) new limits for the share capital and number of shares, (iii) introduction of a new class of redeemable shares of series C and (iv) introduction of a conversion clause whereby holders of ordinary shares may request conversion into shares of series C. The Articles of Association in its complete proposed new wording will be available on the Company's website no later than two weeks prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Provided that the Company enters into an agreement on the intended Transaction, the Board of Directors of InDex Pharmaceuticals intends to convene a separate Extraordinary General Meeting, to be held in direct connection with the general meeting on 10 June 2024 as described in this press release. The purpose of this Extraordinary General Meeting is to resolve on approval of the intended Transaction, issue in kind, reverse share split and other resolutions resulting from the Transaction.

For more information, see the notice of the Extraordinary General Meeting, which is published through a separate press release.
