• Definitive Shareholder Approval for Dilutive Financing

  Majority shareholders formally approved the potential issuance of shares under the $40 million equity line of credit (ELOC) that exceeds Nasdaq's 20% issuance limitation, a critical step for the company to fully utilize the facility.

• Highly Dilutive Terms Confirmed

  The ELOC allows the company to sell shares at 97% of the lowest volume-weighted average price (VWAP) over five trading days, with a floor price of $0.762 per share, and includes a 120% prepayment penalty.

• Subsidiary Equity Pledged as Collateral

  The company's obligations under the ELOC are secured by a first-position security interest in the equity interests of its subsidiaries, indicating significant risk exposure.

• Critical Capital Access Amidst Financial Distress

  This approval is vital for the micro-cap company, which has a 'going concern' warning, to access necessary capital for its operations, despite the significant dilution for existing shareholders.

This Definitive Information Statement confirms that PMGC Holdings' majority shareholders have formally approved the issuance of shares under the previously announced $40 million equity line of credit (ELOC), specifically waiving the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d) 20% issuance cap. This approval is a crucial procedural step, enabling the company to fully utilize the highly dilutive facility. While providing essential capital for a company operating under a "going concern" warning, the terms are significantly unfavorable to existing shareholders, including sales at a discount to market prices (97% of VWAP with a $0.762 floor) and a pledge of subsidiary equity as collateral. The definitive nature of this approval, following preliminary disclosures, solidifies the company's path of substantial dilution to fund operations. Investors should anticipate continued pressure on share price due to the ongoing potential for significant share issuance.
