To facilitate this process, Neximmune is preparing to convene a special stockholder meeting, where approval will be sought for the dissolution plan. Proxy materials will also be submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission in due course.
Further, on October 31, the Board greenlit a significant reduction in the company’s workforce, excluding essential management personnel crucial for overseeing the dissolution process and value optimization initiatives. While the exact financial implications of this reduction remain uncertain, Neximmune commits to providing updated information within four business days. The reduction efforts are slated for completion primarily by November 2023.
This move follows an earlier decision on October 18, when the Board of Directors and stockholders approved a 1-for-25 reverse stock split of the company’s common stock. This pivotal step was taken during a special meeting held on October 17, 2023.
Notably, on August 31, the Board had previously sanctioned an approximately 53% reduction in workforce as a strategic measure to curtail costs and prolong the company’s financial resources. This initiative aimed to streamline the workforce from 47 to 22 full-time employees, effective as of September 5, 2023.
