Proxy voting deadline is 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on December 19, 2024
WICHITA, Kan., Dec. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Management of AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc.(NYSE: UAVS) (“AgEagle” or the “Company”), a leading provider of best-in-class unmanned aerial systems (UAS), sensors and software solutions for customers worldwide in the commercial and government verticals, reminds stockholders to vote their proxy ahead of the deadline of 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on Thursday, December 19, 2024.
AgEagle CEO Bill Irby commented, “Over the last year, we have made significant progress in strengthening AgEagle’s market position and product roadmap, defining a clear path toward long-term stockholder value creation. As we continue to build and navigate new interest within the defense and commercial sectors for our best-in-class UAS, we are evaluating a range of options to fund our next phase of production and growth. Part of these efforts requires the flexibility to issue more shares of our stock, specifically a current capital raise that requires an increase in our authorized share count to enable Series B warrant conversions. We are therefore asking stockholders to help us build a financial bridge to continued growth and long-term stockholder value by voting FOR all proposed matters.”
AgEagle’s Board of Directors unanimously recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” all proposed matters that will be voted on at the special meeting of the Company’s shareholders (the “Special Meeting”). The Company’s shareholders are encouraged to read the meeting materials in detail and cast their votes prior to the proxy voting deadline. Both leading proxy advisory firms, ISS and Glass Lewis, are also recommending investors vote in support of all matters.
The Special Meeting will be held on Friday, December 20, 2024 at 11:00 a.m. (Eastern Time). It will be held in a virtual-only format, via live webcast at https://web.viewproxy.com/uavs/2024.
