This preliminary proxy statement reveals Orgenesis Inc. is seeking shareholder approval for a massive increase in authorized shares and the issuance of common stock related to a convertible loan and warrants. This financing is explicitly stated as critical for the company to continue operations, directly addressing the "going concern" warning from its recent 10-K. The terms involve extreme dilution for existing shareholders, with warrants exercisable at a deep discount to the current market price, and the lender potentially holding a substantial portion of the company's equity. Failure to approve these proposals would likely prevent the company from repaying the loan and receiving warrant exercise proceeds, jeopardizing its survival.
