Item 8.01 Other Events
2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders; Date for Submission of Stockholder Proposals
Protagenic Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) currently intends to hold its annual meeting of stockholders on Monday, September 23, 2019 (the “2019 Annual Meeting”). The exact time of the 2019 Annual Meeting, which will be a “virtual” annual meeting, will be specified in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2019 Annual Meeting.
Because the expected date of the 2019 Annual Meeting represents a change of more than 30 calendar days from the date of the anniversary of the Company’s 2018 annual meeting of stockholders, the Company is affirming the deadline for receipt of stockholder proposals submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2019 Annual Meeting. In order to be considered timely, such proposals must be received in writing by the Company’s Corporate Secretary at the Company’s principal executive offices at 149 Fifth Avenue, Suite 500, New York, NY 10010 by the close of business on Monday, July 15, 2019 (which the Company has determined to be a reasonable time before it expects to begin to print and send its proxy materials). Such proposals also must comply with the applicable requirements of Rule 14A-8 of the Exchange Act regarding the inclusion of stockholder proposals in company-sponsored proxy materials and other applicable laws.
