Annual Meeting and Record Date Set
The Board of Directors of Proteon Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) has approved June 2, 2015 as the date for the Company’s 2015 annual meeting of shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”). The Board of Directors also approved the record date for shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting, which is fixed as the close of business on April 15, 2015. Because the Company did not hold an annual meeting of shareholders in 2014, in order for a proposal under Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to be timely, it must be received by the Company’s Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company by April 13, 2015, which the Company has determined to be a reasonable time before the Company’s proxy statement is due to be printed and mailed. Such proposals must also comply with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the inclusion of shareholder proposals in proxy materials, and any such proposal may be omitted if not in compliance with applicable requirements.
The address of the Company’s principal executive offices is 200 West Street, Waltham, Massachusetts 02451.
Shareholders wishing to nominate a director or propose matters to be considered at the Annual Meeting in the manner contemplated by the Company’s Amended and Restated By-laws (the “By-laws”) must submit timely notice thereof to the Company in order for such matters to be considered at the Annual Meeting. Because the Company did not hold an annual meeting of shareholders in 2014, in accordance with Section 2.12 of the By-laws, to be timely, such notice must be received by the Secretary by April 13, 2015. Such proposals must also comply with all other requirements set forth in the By-laws and other applicable laws.
