Vyant Bio Announces Adjournment of Special Meeting of Stockholders

CHERRY HILL, N.J., Sept. 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vyant Bio, Inc. ("Vyant Bio" or "Company") (OTC:VYNT), today announced that its special meeting of stockholders on September 20, 2023 (the "Special Meeting") was convened and then adjourned, without conducting any business, in order to provide stockholders additional time within which to vote on the proposals as described in the Company's definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 16, 2023 (the "Proxy Statement").

The adjourned Special Meeting will reconvene on September 28, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time at https://www.viewproxy.com/vynt/2023. The record date of August 4, 2023 for the adjourned Special Meeting remains the same. Stockholders of record may attend the virtual webcast meeting by logging in through the same method.

During this adjournment, the Company will continue to solicit votes from its stockholders in favor of Proposal 1 to approve the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement dated July 13, 2023, by and between AxoSim, the Company and StemoniX, Inc., and Proposal 2 to approve the voluntary liquidation and dissolution of the Company, pursuant to a Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution. The Company's board of directors believes approval of Proposals 1 and 2 is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders for the reasons described in our Proxy Statement. We believe there is significant support for Proposals 1 and 2. At the time of the Special Meeting, both proposals received the affirmative vote of holders of approximately 90% of the shares casting votes.

Stockholders who have already voted their shares on the proposals contained in the Proxy Statement do not need to vote again. Proxies previously submitted will be voted at the adjourned Special Meeting, and stockholders who have previously submitted a proxy or otherwise voted need not take any action.

Vyant Bio encourages all stockholders, as of the record date on August 4, 2023, who have not yet voted to do so promptly.

Stockholders may use the Proxy Card that they were originally provided with or vote in the manner as set forth in the Proxy Statement.
