DiaMedica Therapeutics shareholders approved an increase of 3.5 million shares for the company's equity incentive plan. This authorization represents a potential future dilution of approximately 6.5% based on current outstanding shares. While such plans are common for talent retention in life sciences, this increase comes as the company recently reported a wider net loss and increased cash burn, making any potential dilution more sensitive. The re-election of all incumbent directors maintains continuity in the company's governance.
