Mechelen, Belgium, 27 October 2022 – Biocartis Group NV (the ‘Company’ or ‘Biocartis’), an innovative molecular diagnostics company (Euronext Brussels: BCART), held its extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting today. The proposed resolution referred to in item 7 of the agenda regarding the approval and ratification of the change of control clauses in the legal documentation relating to the comprehensive recapitalization transaction of the Company was approved by the extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting. However, there was no deliberation and voting on the items 2 to 6 of the agenda of the extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting, because the attendance quorum to deliberate and vote on such items was not reached.
Biocartis will therefore convene a second extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting for the relevant agenda items, which is to be held on Monday 14 November 2022 at 2:00 p.m. (Belgian time) at the offices of the Company at Generaal de Wittelaan 11B, 2800 Mechelen, Belgium.
