• Approval of Warrant Issuances

  Shareholders will vote on the issuance of 3,685,815 shares from December pre-funded warrants (issued to the CEO's entity) and 109,978,918 shares from February pre-funded warrants (issued for an acquisition). The February warrants have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. These issuances require approval as they exceed Nasdaq's 19.99% rule, representing a potential dilution of over 2,500% of current outstanding shares from these warrants alone.

• Equity Line of Credit (ELOC) Approval

  The company seeks approval to issue shares under an existing $25 million equity line of credit with Ascent Partners Fund LLC. This approval is necessary to exceed the 19.99% share issuance limit, potentially allowing the sale of approximately 36.9 million shares at the current market price, which would be highly dilutive.

• Proposed Reverse Stock Split

  Shareholders will vote on a flexible reverse stock split, with a ratio ranging from 1-for-2 to 1-for-100 (and an aggregate of up to 1-for-250), to help the company maintain its Nasdaq listing by increasing its per-share price.

• Increase in Authorized Shares

  The company proposes to increase its authorized common stock from 250 million to 500 million shares. This increase is critical to accommodate the massive potential share issuances from the warrants and the equity line of credit, as current authorized shares are insufficient.

This preliminary proxy statement outlines a series of critical proposals that, if approved, will fundamentally alter CDT Equity Inc.'s capital structure and corporate governance. The company is seeking authorization for the issuance of an astronomical number of shares from pre-funded warrants and an equity line of credit, which collectively represent a potential dilution of over 3,400% of current outstanding shares. The February pre-funded warrants, in particular, have an extremely low exercise price of $0.0001 per share, indicating highly unfavorable financing terms for existing shareholders. To accommodate these issuances and maintain its Nasdaq listing, the company also proposes a reverse stock split and a substantial increase in authorized shares. Furthermore, the proposed redomestication to the Cayman Islands, while cited for tax and litigation benefits, could reduce shareholder protections. This comprehensive package of proposals signals a company in significant financial distress, pursuing aggressive capital-raising measures that will severely dilute existing shareholders and reshape its operational and legal framework.
