IPA Responds to 13D Filing
IPA responds to 13D Filing by Ingalls & Snyder, LLC
"IPA’s Board of Directors and management team value constructive input and welcome open communication with our shareholders including Ingalls & Snyder, LLC. We are committed to acting in the best interest of IPA and strive to have the optimal board of directors’ composition to attain IPA’s strategic priorities and to maximize long-term shareholder value," said Dr. James Kuo, Chair of the Board of IPA. "We have opened the dialogue with Ingalls & Snyder LLC and will continue to engage in discussions with them as we carefully consider their views. We will update shareholders in due course."
Underscoring this commitment, IPA announced that it has recently begun interviewing potential candidates to refresh its board of directors (the “Board”) in its search for the optimal Board composition.
Majority Voting Policy
Furthermore, in its commitment to address shareholders’ concerns and as part of its continuous review and improvement process, the Company announced that the Board has also adopted a majority voting policy (the “Majority Voting Policy”) based on its belief that each of its directors should carry the confidence and support of IPA’s shareholders and its commitment to upholding high standards in corporate governance. Under the Majority Voting Policy, any director who receives more "withheld" votes than "for" votes will be required to tender his or her resignation to the Board. Absent extraordinary circumstances, the Board is expected to accept such resignation. The Majority Voting Policy is effective immediately.
The full text of the Majority Voting Policy is available under the Company’s profile at www.sedarplus.com, or www.sec.gov and on the Company’s website at www.ipatherapeutics.com.
