Analysis · BDRX · Life Sciences
Just nine days after shareholders rejected a 1-for-10,000 reverse split, Biodexa is making another attempt to shrink its bloated share count. The new proposal couples the reverse split with a sweeping £25 million share authorization and a waiver of pre-emption rights — effectively handing the board a blank check to issue shares for acquisitions and financings through 2029. For a company with a market cap barely above $1 million, that authority is enormous and could fund transformative deals or deeply dilutive survival raises. The vote is set for July 29; if it fails again, the company remains stuck with over 452 billion shares outstanding and limited financing flexibility.
