Nuvation Bio files Delaware court petition to validate share increase amendments after Boxed ruling
Nuvation Bio Inc.
- Filed petition in Delaware Court of Chancery under Section 205 of DGCL to validate charter amendment increasing authorized shares of Class A from 500M to 1B and Class B from 20M to 60M.
- Petition follows December 2022 Boxed ruling that created uncertainty about whether separate class votes were required for share increases by SPACs.
- Hearing set for March 14, 2023; company warns failure to validate could materially impact ability to timely file 2022 Form 10-K.
- Company states that majority of all common stock voted in favor, and that Class A holders actually provided majority support even without separate vote.
- If validation is not granted, uncertainty could affect validity of shares issued since February 2021 and ongoing operational matters like ESPP.
