• Significant Severance Payments

  Approval sought for approximately $1.8 million in severance payments to former CEO Guido Baechler ($965,000), CFO William Caragol ($776,000), and other directors, contingent on the 'Final Closing' of a prior investment.

This definitive proxy statement outlines critical shareholder proposals for Quantum Cyber N.V.'s upcoming annual meeting. Key proposals include formalizing a radical business pivot from life sciences to quantum computing and cybersecurity, extending the Board's authority to issue an unlimited number of shares and waive pre-emption rights, and approving a significantly increased executive remuneration policy. Additionally, shareholders will vote on approving substantial severance payments to former and current executives and directors, totaling over $1.8 million, which represents a significant cash outflow for the micro-cap company. These proposals are crucial for the company's strategic direction and financial structure, with the potential for substantial dilution and cash drain.
