• Massive Dilution and Change of Control

  Shareholders will vote on approving the issuance of up to 459 million ordinary shares from preferred share conversions, which would result in investor David Lazar owning over 95% of the company on a fully diluted basis. This is a condition for the second $3 million tranche of a $6 million private placement, following a $3 million pre-payment disclosed on March 17, 2026.

• Strategic Business Pivot

  The company proposes to change its name to 'Quantum Cyber N.V.' and shift its primary business focus from colorectal and pancreatic cancer diagnostics to quantum computing and cybersecurity. This includes the intent to sell intellectual property related to its existing diagnostic products.

• Board and Executive Leadership Overhaul

  The filing proposes the appointment of David Lazar as CEO and executive director, along with three new non-executive directors. This will lead to the resignation of the current CEO, CFO, and three other directors, with approximately $1.9 million in settlement payments contingent on the approval of these proposals.

• Reverse Stock Split Proposal

  To address the Nasdaq non-compliance notice received on March 20, 2026, regarding the minimum $1.00 bid price, the company seeks approval for a reverse stock split at a ratio between 1:2 and 1:100.

This DEF 14A outlines a comprehensive and transformative corporate restructuring for Mainz Biomed N.V., driven by a critical need for capital and Nasdaq compliance. The proposals, if approved, will lead to extreme dilution for existing shareholders, a complete change in business focus from life sciences to quantum computing/cybersecurity, and a new executive and board leadership. The transaction effectively transfers over 95% of the company's fully diluted ownership to a single investor, David Lazar, who will also become the new CEO. While the $6 million financing is crucial for the company's survival and Nasdaq listing, the terms are highly unfavorable to current shareholders, representing a distressed financing scenario. Investors should be aware of the significant shift in investment thesis and the substantial dilution.
