Each shareholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company and proportional voting power will remain virtually unchanged, except for minor adjustments that may result from rounding fractional shares into whole shares.

NASDAQ Listing Application
The Reverse Split is intended to increase the quoted market per share price of the Company’s common shares, to meet NASDAQ’s requirement that the common shares trade at US$4.00 or higher as of the listing date. Prior to listing on NASDAQ, the Company’s listing application must be approved. There can be no assurance that NASDAQ will approve ProMIS’ listing application in a timely manner, if at all.
