TEL AVIV, Israel, May 05, 2017 -- Alcobra Ltd. (Nasdaq:ADHD), an emerging pharmaceutical company focused on the development of new medications to treat significant unmet clinical needs, today announced that it has reached an agreement (the “Agreement") with Brosh Capital L.P. and certain of its affiliates (the “Brosh Group") on the cancellation of the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders previously called by the Brosh Group to be held on May 23, 2017 (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”).
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Extraordinary General Meeting will be cancelled, the Brosh Group shall withdraw its related meeting notice and proxy materials and will refrain from initiating any proceedings or taking any action for the convening of any meeting of shareholders until the convening of Alcobra’s Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual General Meeting”). Alcobra will convene its Annual General Meeting no later than July 20, 2017.
As the Company continues its established process to explore options for creating shareholder value, the parties have agreed that Alcobra will bring to a shareholder vote any (a) merger or acquisition transaction or (b) extraordinary transaction in which Alcobra will invest significant and material amounts of money or raise debt financing from the public in connection therewith, which it enters into prior the Annual General Meeting, to the extent required under the Israeli Companies Law. If a transaction does not require a shareholder vote under the Israeli Companies Law, Alcobra will provide eight days’ notice to its shareholders before the closing of such transaction.
“We are pleased to have reached a mutual agreement with the Brosh Group that we believe is in the best interest of all Alcobra shareholders,” said Dr. Yaron Daniely, President and CEO of Alcobra. “We look forward to continuing a constructive dialogue with all of our shareholders and working to create value for all shareholders.”
The parties filed an application with the Economic Division of the District Court of Tel Aviv to obtain court approval of the Agreement, without admitting any of the claims previously asserted in litigation between the parties with respect to the Extraordinary General Meeting called by the Brosh Group and related matters.
