VOTING REQUIREMENTS AND PROXIES
Proposal 1 is a special resolution requiring the affirmative vote of the holders of ordinary shares representing at least 75% of the votes cast on the matter.
If you vote your shares by mail, telephone or Internet, your shares will be voted in accordance with your directions. If you do not indicate specific choices when you vote by mail, telephone or Internet, your shares will be voted for each proposal. The persons named as proxies will also be able to vote your shares at postponed or adjourned meetings.
If your shares are held in the name of a broker or nominee and you do not instruct the broker or nominee how to vote, brokers or nominees are generally not permitted to vote your shares on “non-routine” matters. Although the determination of whether a broker nominee will have discretionary voting power for a particular item is typically determined only after proxy materials are filed with the SEC, we expect that at the EGM your broker nominee will not be able to submit a vote on Proposal 1 unless it receives your specific instructions. Because brokers nominees do not have discretionary voting authority with respect to Proposal 1, if a beneficial owner of ordinary shares held in street name does not give voting instructions to the broker nominee with respect to Proposal 1, then those shares will not be present or represented by proxy at the EGM and will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the EGM.
SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS AND DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS
We do not intend to hold future annual meetings of shareholders, including the 2024 annual meeting.
HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS
SEC rules concerning the delivery of proxy materials allow us or your broker to send a single notice or, if applicable, a single set of our proxy materials to any household at which two or more of our shareholders reside, if we or your broker believe that the shareholders are members of the same family, unless we have received contrary instructions from one or more of the shareholders. This practice, referred to as “householding,” benefits both you and us. It reduces the volume of duplicate information received at your household and helps to reduce our expenses. The rule applies to our notices, annual reports, proxy statements and information statements.
We will undertake to deliver promptly, upon written request, a separate copy to a shareholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the proxy materials was delivered. You may make a written request by sending a notification to our Secretary at the address below, providing your name, your shared address, and the address to which we should direct the additional copy of the proxy materials. Multiple shareholders sharing an address who have received one copy of a mailing and would prefer us to mail each shareholder a separate copy of future mailings should contact us at the below address, as well. Additionally, if current shareholders with a shared address received multiple copies of a mailing and would prefer us to mail one copy of future mailings to shareholders at the shared address, notification of that request may also be sent to us at the below address. Shareholders who participate in householding will continue to have access to and utilize separate proxy voting instructions.
Any request relating to receipt of proxy materials should be sent to: Secretary, c/o RVL Pharmaceuticals plc, 400 Crossing Boulevard, Bridgewater, N.J. 08807, USA.
OTHER MATTERS
At the time of mailing of this proxy statement, we do not know of any other matter that may come before the EGM and do not intend to present any other matter. However, if any other matters properly come before the meeting or any adjournment, the persons named as proxies will have discretionary authority to vote the shares represented by the proxies in accordance with their own judgment, including the authority to vote to adjourn the meeting.
We will bear the cost of solicitation of proxies. This includes the charges and expenses of banks, brokers and other nominees for forwarding solicitation material to beneficial owners of our outstanding ordinary shares. Our officers, directors and other associates may assist in soliciting proxies by mail, telephone and personal interview.
