Item 8.01 Other Events.
Share Consolidation
Medicus Pharma Ltd. (the "Company") today announced that it will effect a fifty-to-one consolidation (the "Share Consolidation") of the Company's common shares, no par value (the "Common Shares"), to be effective on October 12, 2026. The Share Consolidation is intended to increase the bid price of the Common Shares and to enable the Company to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
The Common Shares are expected to begin trading on a consolidated basis on The Nasdaq Capital Market at the commencement of trading on October 12, 2026, with a new CUSIP number of 58471K301 and a new ISIN of CA58471K3010. The Company's name will remain unchanged and the ticker symbol for the Common Shares will remain "MDCX."
At the Company's 2026 Annual General and Special Meeting held on June 3, 2026, the Company's shareholders approved a proposal authorizing the Company's board of directors (the "Board") to effect a consolidation of the Common Shares at a ratio of up to fifty-to-one, with the exact ratio and timing to be determined by the Board in its sole discretion. Pursuant to such authorization, the Board has approved the Share Consolidation.
Information for Shareholders
As a result of the Share Consolidation, every 50 Common Shares issued and outstanding will be automatically exchanged for one new Common Share. The Share Consolidation will not modify any rights or preferences of the Common Shares. The Common Shares issued pursuant to the Share Consolidation will remain fully paid and non-assessable. The Share Consolidation will not change the voting power of holders of the outstanding Common Shares.
No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Share Consolidation. Shareholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional share because they hold a number of shares not evenly divisible by the Share Consolidation ratio will automatically be rounded down to the next whole share and cash will be paid in lieu for such fractional shares.
Shareholders owning pre-Share Consolidation Common Shares via a bank, broker or other nominee will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the Share Consolidation and will not be required to take further action in connection with the Share Consolidation, subject to brokers' particular processes. For additional information on such processes, shareholders should contact their respective broker or nominee (as applicable). Similarly, registered shareholders holding pre-Share Consolidation Common Shares electronically in book-entry form are also not required to take further action in connection with the Share Consolidation.
Impact on Other Equity Securities
Proportionate adjustments will be made to the per share exercise price and the number of Common Shares issuable upon the exercise or conversion of outstanding equity awards, convertible securities and warrants, as well as to the number of Common Shares issued and issuable under the Company's equity incentive plans.
Additional information about the Share Consolidation can be found in the Company's definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on May 4, 2026, which is available free of charge at the SEC's website, www.sec.gov/edgar, and on the Company's website at https://medicuspharma.com/investor-relations/sec-filings/.
