Better Choice Company Adjourns Special Meeting of Stockholders to March 21, 2025
TAMPA, Fla., Feb. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Better Choice Company, Inc. (NYSE American: BTTR) (“Better Choice” or the “Company”), a pet health and wellness company, announced today that it convened its special meeting (“Special Meeting”) and immediately adjourned the meeting, with conducting any business, to March 21, 2025. The Special Meeting was adjourned as to all of the proposals contained in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on January 28, 2025 (the “Proxy Statement”), including the proposal to approve the arrangement transaction with SRx Health Solutions, Inc. (“SRx”). The Company adjourned the Special Meeting to allow SRx to continue to pursue its shareholder vote and the final order by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice required to consummate the arrangement transaction and to update Better Choice shareholders of certain corporate actions to be taken by SRx and the Company to ensure compliance with the NYSE American listing requirements.
At the time the Special Meeting was adjourned proxies had been submitted by Better Choice stockholders representing approximately 71% of the shares of Better Choice’s common stock outstanding and entitled to vote, which constituted a quorum, with sufficient votes to approval of all the proposals contained in the Proxy Statement including the proposal to approve the arrangement transaction with SRx.
The Company intends to file with the SEC and mail a supplement to the Proxy Statement in connection with the Special Meeting to provide Better Choice stockholders sufficient time to review the updated materials and cast their votes on a fully informed basis.
As a result of the adjournment, the Special Meeting will now be held at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on March 21, 2025, exclusively via live webcast at the following address: https://east.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/vsm/web?pvskey=BTTR2025SM. The record date for the stockholders to vote at the Special Meeting remains the close of business on January 21, 2025 (the “Record Date”). Stockholders as of the Record Date can vote, even if they have subsequently sold their shares. Proxies previously submitted with respect to the Special Meeting will be voted on all proposals at the adjourned Special Meeting unless properly revoked in accordance with the procedures described in the Proxy Statement, and stockholders who have previously submitted a proxy or otherwise voted need not take any action.
