SUPPLEMENT TO THE NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING OF
STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON JUNE 6, 2017 AND ACCOMPANYING PROXY
STATEMENT
Explanatory Note
On
April 24, 2017, a proxy statement (the “Proxy
Statement”) of CorMedix Inc., a Delaware corporation, was
made available to our stockholders in connection with the
solicitation of proxies on behalf of our Board of Directors for use
at the 2017 annual meeting of stockholders to be held at 1545 U.S.
Highway 206, First Floor Conference Room, Bedminster, New Jersey,
on June 6, 2017 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern time, or at such other
time and place to which the annual meeting may be
adjourned.
This
supplement dated May 15, 2017 (the “Supplement”)
supplements and amends the Proxy Statement and is first being made
available to stockholders on or about May 15, 2017. Except as
specifically supplemented or amended by the information contained
in this Supplement, all information set forth in the Proxy
Statement continues to apply and should be considered in voting
your shares.
Recent Financing
As
reported on May 3, 2017, we closed on an underwritten public
offering of 18,619,301 shares of our common stock, par value $0.001
per share, together with Series A Warrants to purchase up to an
aggregate of 13,964,475 shares of our common stock and Series B
Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 13,964,475 shares of our
common stock, at a price to the public of $0.75 per share and
related warrants. The gross proceeds from the sale of shares was
approximately $14.0 million, before deducting underwriting
discounts and commissions and estimated offering
expenses.
Each
Series A Warrant has an exercise price of $1.05 per share of common
stock and will expire five years following the Exercisable Date
(defined below). Each Series B Warrant has an exercise price of
$0.75 per share of common stock and will expire thirteen months
following the Exercisable Date.
We
also issued to the underwriter of the offering warrants to purchase
up to an aggregate of 1,117,157 shares of common stock, with an
exercise price of $0.9375, which represents 125% of the public
offering price per combined share and related warrants. The
underwriter warrant will expire five years following the
Exercisable Date. Other than the exercise price, the terms of the
underwriter warrant are the same as the Series A
warrants.
We
do not currently have a sufficient number of authorized shares of
common stock to cover the shares issuable upon exercise of the
warrants issued in the offering. As a result, before any warrants
can become exercisable, we need to receive stockholder approval of
an amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) to increase the
number of authorized shares of common stock, as recommended in the
Proxy Statement. The warrants will be exercisable on any day on or
after the date that we publicly announce through the filing of a
Current Report on Form 8-K that the Charter Amendment has been
approved by our stockholders and has become effective (the
“Exercisable Date”). In the event our stockholders do
not approve the Charter Amendment, the warrants will not be
exercisable and may not have any value. As agreed with the
underwriter, until we receive approval of the Charter Amendment, we
cannot sell any securities.
Further,
as a result of the recent sale of common stock we do not have any
shares of authorized common stock available for future
issuance.
Proposal to approve an amendment to our Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized
shares of capital stock from 82,000,000 shares to 202,000,000
shares and to increase the number of authorized shares of common
stock from 80,000,000 shares to 200,000,000 shares
As
stated in the Proxy Statement, our Board of Directors has approved
and recommended the Charter Amendment, which would amend our
amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase our
shares of authorized capital stock from 82,000,000 shares to
202,000,000 shares and to increase the number of authorized shares
of common stock from 80,000,000 to 200,000,000 shares.
Background and Purpose of the Charter Amendment
The
Board of Directors believes it is vital to our best interest to
have sufficient additional authorized but unissued shares of common
stock available in order to provide flexibility for corporate
action in the future. Management believes that the availability of
additional authorized shares for issuance from time to time in the
Board of Directors’ discretion in connection with possible
future financings or for other corporate uses is critical to our
long-term success and is in the best interests of our company and
our stockholders.
In
light of our need for additional financing to continue our
operations in the future, even after giving effect to the recent
financing, the Board of Directors believes that we must have
available unissued shares to draw on to support our future
operations. We have an existing at-the-market common stock program,
which we cannot access unless the proposed increase in the
authorized shares is approved. Further, the investors in the recent
financing will lose the value of their warrants, and we would lose
the cash proceeds from the exercise of those warrants, if the
proposed increase in the authorized shares is not approved.
Additionally, our Board of Directors believes that debt and other
non-equity financing would be difficult in the event our
stockholders do not approve the Charter Amendment due to the
inability to offer and sell convertible debt as well as the lack of
support for the Company that a failure to approve the Charter
Amendment would indicate.
For the reasons above, our Board of Directors
believes that the proposed Charter Amendment is vital to the future
of our company by providing necessary shares for future financings
and other needs, without which we believe we will not be able to
support our ongoing and planned clinical trials for Neutrolin or
indeed our future operations. Such an outcome would severely limit
the options available to us to continue our operations and derive
value from our pipeline. This could ultimately result in the
cessation of our operations and/or a decrease in the value of our
assets and our securities. Our Board of Directors recommends that
you vote “FOR” the Charter Amendment.
We
currently have no specific understandings, arrangements or
agreements with respect to any future actions that would require us
to issue a material amount of the additional new shares of our
common stock other than the reservation of shares for issuance upon
the exercise of the warrants issued in the May 2017
financing.
If you have already submitted your proxy, you do not need to take
any action unless you wish to change your vote.
Voting; Revocability of Proxies
This
Supplement does not change the proposals to be acted upon at the
annual meeting, which are described in the Proxy Statement. As a
stockholder, your vote is very important and the Board encourages
you to exercise your right to vote whether or not you plan to
attend the annual meeting and regardless of the number of shares of
the Company’s common stock that you own.
If
you have already submitted your proxy, you do not need to take any
action unless you wish to change your vote. If you have already
submitted your proxy card and wish to change your vote based on any
of the information contained in this supplement, you may change
your vote or revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted at
the annual meeting.
