Clearday Announces Support for Updated Dates Related to Previously Announced Merger With Superconductor Technologies
New July 13 Record Date for Stockholders Meeting and Move of Proxy Vote Deadline to August 10 Will Accommodate High Volume of New Superconductor Shareholders Added Since the Original June 4 Record Date
Clearday, an innovative leader in delivering high-quality, non-acute, longevity care services that enable seniors to age in place, announced its support for the decision by Superconductor Technologies (STI) to update the record and meeting dates related to the previously announced definitive merger between the parties.
By moving the record date for its stockholders meeting to July 13, 2021, and moving its stockholder meeting to August 10, 2021, Superconductor is providing stockholders who have purchased shares since the original stockholder record date of June 4, 2021, with the opportunity to vote on the proposed merger at this important meeting.
"We look forward to welcoming Superconductor stockholders as Clearday stockholders and believe these actions will encourage fuller stockholder participation and a more representative vote on the proposed merger transaction," said Jim Walesa, Clearday's President and CEO.
Clearday also voiced its support for clarifications Superconductor announced about the aggregate effect of the previously disclosed Reverse Stock Split Proposal offset by the issuance of "true-up shares" to the stockholders of Superconductor as of the closing of the merger. Upon the closing of the merger, each STI stockholder (other than dissenting shares) will hold, immediately after the merger, not less than approximately 46% of the number of common stock shares that stockholder owned immediately before the merger. For example, if a STI stockholder currently has 500 shares as of the closing of the merger, that stockholder will own no less than 232 shares immediately after the merger is closed. In the aggregate, the stockholders of STI will own approximately 3.6% of the total shares of the combined company, on a fully diluted basis as determined by the merger agreement, as of immediately after the merger has closed.
"We endorse enabling the issuance of true-up shares by negating certain terms of the merger agreement," said Walesa. "We believe this limits the negative effect of the reverse stock split upon Superconductor stockholders."
As a result of these actions, STI stockholders who have already cast their ballot regarding the merger will be required to recast their ballot by the August 10, 2021, stockholder meeting date.
"Clearday appreciates the support of the proposed merger by the Superconductor stockholders who have already cast their ballot," said Walesa. "Every stockholder of record as of the new record date will now have the opportunity to support the merger and will be required to vote upon the transactions in the proxy, even if they have previously submitted a vote."
