Rapid Dose Announces Cancellation of Stock Options and Intention to Regrant
February 29, 2024
BURLINGTON, Ontario – February 28, 2024 – Rapid Dose Therapeutics Corp. (“RDT” or the “Company”) (CSE: DOSE) today announced that effective February 28, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), the Company has cancelled an aggregate of 5,350,000 stock options (“Options”) to purchase common shares of the Company (“Common Shares”), which were previously granted to employees, advisors and consultants of the Company (each an “Optionee”) under the Company’s stock option plan (the “Plan”). The Company reviewed its outstanding Options and determined that certain Options granted to such Optionees under the Plan, at exercise prices ranging from $0.55 to $0.82 per Common Share, no longer represented an effective incentive to align the interests of such Optionees with the Corporation. Consequently, the Company, in compliance with the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”), intends to grant an equal number of Options under the Plan to such Optionees on the day after thirty (30) days will have elapsed from the Effective Date, at an exercise price equal to the greater of the closing market price of the Common Shares on the CSE on: (a) the trading day prior to the date of grant of the new stock options; and (b) the date of grant of the new stock options. Such new stock options are being granted to provide a more effective incentive to align the interests of such Optionees with the Corporation going forward.
