Biodexa issues letter to Shareholders
Biodexa Pharmaceuticals PLC has issued a letter to shareholders detailing proposals to reorganize the company’s share capital at the upcoming Annual General Meeting. These proposals aim to rationalize the share capital by reducing the number of ordinary shares without affecting shareholders' rights, percentage ownership, or the number of American Depositary Shares (ADSs) outstanding. The changes involve a reverse split, subdivision, redesignation of shares, and an adjustment to the ordinary share/ADS ratio, all recommended by the Board.
