SAN MATEO, Calif., June 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Vincerx Pharma, Inc. (OTC Pink: VINC) today announced that the Special Meeting of Stockholders to consider a proposal to approve the liquidation and dissolution of Vincerx (the “Dissolution Proposal”), which was originally scheduled for earlier today, has been adjourned until 10:00 a.m., Pacific time, on July 16, 2025 via live audio webcast at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/VINC2025SM2. The adjournment will allow Vincerx more time to solicit the votes needed to approve the Dissolution Proposal.
Vincerx is urging ALL stockholders to vote IMMEDIATELY FOR the Dissolution Proposal.
Vincerx’s board of directors unanimously recommends that stockholders vote FOR the Dissolution Proposal and believes that approval of the Dissolution Proposal is extremely important to stockholders for a number of reasons, including the following:
- Preserve Possibility of Distributions. Vincerx is hopeful that cash will be available for distribution to its stockholders. However, further delays in approving the Dissolution Proposal will result in continued public company and other operating costs and expenses – reducing or eliminating what funds could remain for distribution to stockholders. Approving the Dissolution Proposal will allow Vincerx to move forward expeditiously and maximize the likelihood of a distribution to its stockholders.
- Recognize Potential Tax Benefits. U.S. stockholders who receive less than their tax basis in their shares could be eligible to recognize a capital loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Timely approval of the Dissolution Proposal will facilitate this recognition.
“We believe it is extremely important that our stockholders vote FOR the Dissolution Proposal,” said Dr. Raquel Izumi, Acting CEO. “We understand the disappointment that all of us who are stockholders and supported the company over the years feel, but approving the Dissolution Proposal at least gives stockholders the possibility of receiving some value for their shares. Delaying approval of the Dissolution Proposal will simply result in the company continuing to incur ongoing operating costs and expenses, which will only reduce or even eliminate the likelihood that there will be any amounts left for distribution to stockholders. We therefore urge all stockholders to vote FOR the Dissolution Proposal before the reconvened meeting on July 16, 2025.”
Every vote matters. Stockholders must ACTIVELY VOTE for their vote to count. Any delay in approving the Dissolution Proposal will result in increased expenditures and reduce the likelihood that amounts will be available for distribution to stockholders.
