Quoin calls vote to lift warrant cap to 9.99%
Quoin Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (QNRX) is calling a special general meeting on November 12, 2026 to ask shareholders to approve raising the beneficial ownership cap on certain private placement investors from 4.99% to up to 9.99% of outstanding ordinary shares (including ADSs) for both voting and reporting purposes.
The change would apply to warrants issued in private placements completed on October 14, 2025 and August 31, 2026, allowing holders, on written notice and after 61 days, to increase their individual limits, which may facilitate warrant exercises and capital inflows but would dilute existing holders and could concentrate voting power. A second proposal would allow adjournment of the meeting to solicit more proxies if support for Proposal 1 is initially insufficient.
