SECTION 8 – Other Events
Item 8.01 Other Events
On June 22, 2017, we announced through our filing of a Definitive Proxy Statement on Form 14A with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Proxy Statement”) that we had scheduled our 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders ("Annual Meeting") for Tuesday, July 18, 2017. This meeting was convened and adjourned without any business being conducted, due to lack of the requisite quorum of shareholder votes either in person or in proxy. The Annual Meeting was adjourned to 12:00 PM local time on Wednesday, August 16, 2017 at the offices of Marcum LLP, 53 State Street, 17th Floor, Boston, Massachusetts 02109, to allow additional time for stockholders to vote on the proposals set forth in Xenetic's definitive Proxy Statement.
The record date for the Annual Meeting remains May 23, 2017. Stockholders who have previously submitted their proxy or otherwise voted and who do not want to change their vote need not take any action. Company stockholders as of the May 23, 2017 record date can vote, even if they have subsequently sold their shares. The Company’s board of directors and management respectfully request all such holders as of the record date to please vote your proxies as soon as possible.
No changes have been made in the proposals to be voted on by stockholders at the Annual Meeting. The Company strongly advises all of its stockholders to read the proxy statement and other proxy materials relating to the Annual Meeting because they contain important information. Such proxy materials are available at no charge on the Securities and Exchange Commission's website at www.sec.gov. In addition, copies of the Proxy Statement and other documents may be obtained free of charge by accessing the Company’s website at www.xeneticbio.com or by contacting the Company’s Corporate Secretary at 781-778-7720 or by mail to Corporate Secretary, Xenetic Biosciences, Inc., 99 Hayden Ave., Ste. 230, Lexington, MA 02421.
