Pixium Vision convenes an Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders on February 15, 2023
Paris, France, January 20, 2023 – 19:00 CET– Pixium Vision SA (Euronext Growth Paris - FR0011950641), a bioelectronics company that develops innovative bionic vision systems to enable patients who have lost their sight to live more independent lives, announces today that it will hold an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (EGM) at 14:00 CET on February 15, 2023 at Pixium Vision’s headquarter office. The meeting will take place in person.
Pixium Vision is calling this EGM to seek approval from its shareholders to obtain authorizations giving the Company the opportunity to proceed with various financing options. Pixium Vision will need to continue the search for funding to enable the Company to continue its clinical activities, research and to strive to continue pursuing its strategic ambitions.
In addition, the shareholders will have to deliberate on the authorization to reduce its share capital due to losses by reducing the par value of each of the Company's shares from 0.06 euro to 0.02 euro. This purely technical operation, when implemented by the Board, would have no impact on the Company's stock market value nor on the number of outstanding shares, which would remain unchanged. The shareholders will also have to deliberate on an authorization to carry out a reverse split of the Company's shares by fifty.1 The purpose of this reverse stock split, when implemented by the Board, would bring the Company's share price more in line with market standards and investor expectations and aim to reduce the volatility of the share price.
Information and documents relating to this EGM will be available on the Company's website as from the convening of the shareholders in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
